BURGLARS Blow Open Safe.

The large safe in J. Frank
Weaver's mill at New Providence,
Pa, was wrecked by burglars on
Monday night, who secured but
little money, but carried off some
valuable papers belonging to Mr..
Weaver. Three charges of ex-
plosives were used on the safe at
short intervals before nearby resi-
dents realized what was tran
spring, when. those who. were
aroused saw four men leave the
mill. The safe was one which had
formerly been used by the Farmers
National Bank of Quarryville. It
was completely wrecked by the ex-
plosions, and the building badly
damaged as we'll. No clue has
been obtained as to the identity OF
the gang Of safe crackers.

G'ifb the Needle and Thread.

A thing to remember in embroidery
is always to fasten you thread by
running it backward and forward on
the wrong side OF the embroidery and
then to cut the thread and start afresh
on the next design. Never carry the
thread from one design to another. as
it invariably shows when the embroid-
cry Is done up. If the material is sheer
II shows through and II heavy II
makes an ugly ridge.
If a girl has clever fingers she can
make herself pretty sash arrangements
out of the ribbons which have been
selling the last month at the lowest
mark-down prices. The Powered rib
bons made into shoulder-strap and bre-
telle arrangements or the new hip dra-
peries are not difficult to accomplish.
The latter is only for the girl of slender
proportions and needs careful handling.

ing the work as leaving the room In an
uproar. If there Is a hall bedroom III
it made cheerful with a linoleum floor
covering, but place a rug under the
machine and chair. Have a small sew
ing table n a low armchair rocker, In
which to sit while you sew by hand. A
large chiffonier is really needed and
one drawer alone should be reserved for
patterns. The small upper drawer can
contain small articles not conveniently
kept In the machine. Furnish II wall
with aluminium hooks on which to hang

will have no trouble in hiring q SEAM

you are sewing and you begin thinking
how this world is treating you, and find
yourself calculating on the troubles
coming for the next week or month
that means you are dead tired. You
u hin you are not. for you really
wish to finish that dress or that waist,
but you are tired and that is just the
very time you want to look around your
little sewing-room and feel convinced 1t

little known and have been
studied but little. They dwell
on the American Continent, from the
Kuskoouim River on Boring Sea 10
Labrador, never going far into the in
terror or south of the region of Ice
foes. Wherever they have wandered
it has not been in search of easier con-
ditions of living. Though the interior
furnishes more game richer furs,
and the Alaska peninsula has a milder
climate. they have kept to the barren
and ice-bound shores. Physically, they
are heavy, strong. of arm and back
and very light on their feet. lhey
are short-legged. III very feet-footed'
and great jumpers. They begin L"
practise Jumping as soon as they can
walk. Their favorite way of jumping
is TO spring up and Kick with the toes
of both feet and come down again on
their feet. Many of them can in his
way touch a point from twelve to
thirty inches above their heads. In
looks they resemble the japanese far
moro than the Chinese. But they are
lighter in complexion and very rudy
faced. The girls and young women are
rpt looking: some are handsome.
T7,eir eyes arc a clear brown and very
bright and their eyeslght is marvellous.
Their food is what the sea produces

seal is. the most useful. It furnishes
the skin for footwear, mittens, trous-
ors. material for nets, ropes. m bags
for oil. Tho flesh is used for o the
blubber. which is the largest part OF

and heat. The quantity OF seal seems
TO be unlimited. Unlike the fur seals
+hey never come ashore. They are
captured in the nets, and when the ice
forms they are shot.

Laughter as q Medicine,

=
There is no medicine more beneficial
than a genuine, hearty laugh. 1t In
flates the lungs. and has a magic ef-
feet on the system generally. Nova
days girls giggle instead Of laughing,
and this silly habit does more harm
than good. Giggling also brings wrin-
kles round the orn OF the mouth,
and so in time spoils even a pretty
face.
Every girl could laugh II she wanted
to. But some girls only see the dark
side of life. and so their faces reflect
their gloomy view of things, and look
dark, too. The girl who enjoys a laugh
has a bright, sunny face. and whether
she is pretty or plain need never bother
her.
Now, there is no doubt that people
who DE- not find the silver lining to
every cloud are never as pretty and
pleasing as those who see the bright
side of things. Fol the temperament
affects the skin. and the sad girl who
doesn't laugh soon gets a sallow COM
plexion, or spots or other blemishes.
Fresh air, sunshine and laughter are
natures cosmetics, and no prescrlp-
lions are anything like 30 good.
The girl who wants to be beautiful
lust sleep with her window open, must
% out and revel in the sunshine, and
she must find plenty to laugh at In her
daily life. Let those who don't care
how they look sleep In stuffy, unven-
tilated rooms. hide themselves away
from the sunbeams and weep at real
and imaginary woes alike.
A sunny, happy disposition will pre-
vent a nervous break down. and when
n woman is affected with nerves" she
can hardly be pretty.

A Couple of Questions.

My Dear Miss Doom:
To settle an argument will you please
tell n quarreling pair what time a
young man should leave when he Is
making a call on a young lady' "a
says 1920, and "B" says 10 o'clock,
while &C" says there is no set rule,
nnd he can stay until IL II he want
to.
Also please tell me II it is all right
for n young man to give a girl a pair
of gold pins for her birthday. He had
been keeping company with her for
several months. Thanking you for
answers to both questions,
EDWARD AND JIM.
&C. is right In declaring that there is
no set rule. but it Is hardly in good
taste for a young man to stay longer
than an hour and a hall. unless he is
engaged te the young woman concerned
and knows she is not unwilling to en-
tertain him. Even then he should re-
member that IT is not c~ousiderate TO
stay later than 1890 or II o'clock.
The gold pins would he quite appro-
pirate. They would also be sure TO
please, l think.

Equal parts OF peroxide of hydrogen

kill Its growth. 1t will be slow and
tedious work. and will have 10 be re-
peated every day for a long tim before

To Remedy the Growth of the Eyebrows.
Dear Madame Alta:
Please tell what will make my eye
brows thicker and my eyelashes longer,
as they were burned off by the lamp.
Also tell mo what will take moles off
my arms and hands. Thanking you in
advance, I remain yours e. L. L.
Brush your eyebrows night and
morning with a small brush that comes
for the purpose-a small tooth brush
will do-maldng sure to follow the line
of the brow. Tho following ointment
will strengthen the growth:
Red vaseline, 2 ounces.
Tincture of cantharides, n ounce.
OIL of lavender, Is drops.
Oil of rosemary, is drops.
Mix thoroughly and apply to the eye
brows once a day with a small brush.
The same ointment may be used for
the eyelashes, but great are must be
taken not to allow it to get into the
eyes, as 1t may inflame them, as oil
will if 1t gets into them. Caustic. or
acetic acid will remove moles, but be
warned before you use either, as they
will leave scars which will be more
disflguring than the moles. I do not
advise their usr.
