A Simple Skin Tonic.

At this time of year a tonic lotion of
some kind is often necessary and bene-
c~learness to the complexion. The fol-
lowing ld-fashioned lotion, which is
said to have date from the time of
Queen Elizabeth, may be safely used
even for the most sensitive skins; To
half a pint of e~lder1ower water add
drop by drop, stirring all the time to
prevent the lotion from curdling, two
drains of simple tincture of benzoin,
then add six drops of tincture of myrrh
and a teaspoonful of glycerine. The
lotion can be used two or three times
a day, and will be found exceptionally
cooling and refreshing to the skin.

The Touch of N~eedlewOrk.

Women will wear linen waists all
winter, especially the white and tan
ones, also pongees and bedford silks,
and these waists can be ornamented
with seed embroidery and will answer
nicely when dainty and attractive
clothing is needed for special occasions.
The seed stitch in embroidery is merely
tiny French knots used to outline lines
and designs or follow a graceful trail
ing pattern. We see Jokes, plastron
fronts and collars and cuffs trimmed
with the small white pattern and 1t is
often used on handmade articles of
dress.

In Need of a Hair Tonic.
Dear Madam Alta:

Dear Madame Alta:
l am a girl who has auburn hair. |
would like to know if you could tell me
of something that would stop my hair
falling. Every night 1 brush it and rub
my scalp and wash it every three
weeks, l would like something that
would not make my hair look greasy,
for it has an oily appearance. Do you
approve of bay rum as a tonic? Hop
ing you will answer as soon as possible,
thanking you in advance.
MISS T.. Y.
Here is the recipe for a tonic that will
do o much good, IL you will rub your
scalp with it after brushing the hair.
Cologne, 8 ounces.
Tincture of cantharides, 1 ounce.
Oil of English lavender. u dram.
Oil of rosemary, u dram.
Keep your scalp free from dust and
apply the tonic twice a day. This will
not make the hair greasy. Do use
bay rum. 1t will dry the scalp and
cause the hair to fall out.

NEWARKERS NOT IN 1T.

On any of the principal thorough
fares in New York you will see more
beautifully gowned women in five
minutes than you would on Broad

Take, for instance, the theatre
crowds in New York. Where will
you see such ~gorgeously gowned
women? Even the working girls are
chic. In Newark the people are so
plain that nc n gives them a sec
ond look. Now and then you see a
stunning-looking person, but you

square yoke at the front only. The
yoke collar and long sleeves were made
of raspberry net tucked and outlined
at the collar and wrists with ruching

MOMUS, THE JESTER.

~ Hs OST boys and girls have read OF
M 0 the court Jester, or fool" that
@'" every king of the olden time
used to keep to make amusement Tor
him. but perhaps they do not know
that the first Jester of this kind be-
longe to Jupiter, the great Olympian
god. His name was Momus, the son OF
Night and Sleep, and if all the stories
told of him are true he must have led
the Olympians a merry dance.
1t was Momus's special duty to criti-
else and censure and gods and god
desses, and not one of them escaped
his sharp tongue, for, like the court
fools" of more modern times, he was
not only permitted. but encouraged, to
say what he pleased.
Now you must know that Momus was
anything but a real fool" on the con-
trary. he knew so many things and told
the truth so fearlessly that the gods
and goddesses all respected him and
sought his goodwill, setting more value
on a word of praise from his mouth
than from the mouth of Jupiter himself.
So it happened that Monus was one
day called on to act as judge in a trial
of creative skill between Neptune, Vul-
can dilu LlilltA q LNtRbohC -

frize. Deities as they WERE, he three
#lontestants were full of anxiety over
Atae outcome. for Momus was not only
&3ise but the severest of all critics, and
Ills Judgment would give great honor
#lo the victorious one.
n The first thing the Judge examined
3lvas Neptune's bull. The animal. he
llaid. was far from perfect. He could

would have placed thu bulls horns in

hot do at all. said Momus, for 1t was
mot so constructed that the occupant
might move it at pleasure. A mans
house. he said. ought to be built in such
la way that the person occupying it
could move it out of a disagreeable To-
calitv or neighborhood, and as Mi
nerva's house was not of that kind 1t
was not a good piece of work.
But Vulcan did the worst Of all. for
in making his man he failed to put a
window in his breast, so that his
thoughts and feelings might be seen
and known.

Army of Unemployed Given Free Trans
portatiOn Out of California Turn
Up the Columbia Valley

Hoping to make the Pacific north
west a dumping ground for idle men,
it is asserted that officials of Los An
geles and San Francisco have reached
a tacit agreement with officials OF the
Hartman lines through California and
Oregon whereby all hoboes and unem-
ployed laborers will be hauled north
ward free of charge.
Chiefs Of police in all California cities
and towns have passed the word that
free transportation would be furnished
if the men could stand to ride in side
door Pullmans," and it is reported that
several special trains of empty boxcars
were furnished to haul the men as far
as Portland.
During the past few days a steady
stream of unemployed men has flowed
northward, passing through Oregon In
carloads. At times as many as fifty
men were crowded into one boxcar,
provided with straw, hobo fashion.
Officials of the Northern Pacific
learned of the plan and Immediately
issued orders to stop all hoboes at
Portland and not allow them to ride
north over its lines. From there the
men were forced to turn toward the
mountains and have been swarming
into the Inland Empire.
