The Prophetic Gift.

That there are persons to-day VINO
possess the somewhat uncanny gift OF
being able to predict future events is
probably true. The wife of the late
Sir Richard Burton. the famous trav-
,eler and linguist. not to mention other
instances of her weird gift, announced
the very first time she saw Burton, at
the time perfect stranger whom she
had met quite casually, that he would
be her husband. At the present mo
ment, too, there is said to be in Amer
fca a man who has manifested such
an extraordinary faculty of predicting
things that are about to take place

NO ESCAPE FOR HIM
Mr.. BENSON CONDEMNED TO A
/, DIET OF HAM.
Policy Of Deception Brought Woe to
!, New Yorker Who Was Batch
!. ing" Il While His Wife
Was Visiting.

The last time Mr.. Benson told lie
he told 1t to his wife, says the New
York Times. He told 1t just before
she went to Boston. The morning
she went away Mrs. Benson took Mr..
Benson into the kitchen and showed
him the icebox:
81 know" she said, how you dislike
eating in restaurants, so | have left
for several days. Here are cakes.
preserved fruits. salads and boiled
ham. You can make your own coffee
and by boiling potatoes whenever you
feel hungry for them you will be
spared the horror of restaurant fare
for at least a week"
Benson surveyed his well-stocked
commissariat with pangs of insipient
dyspepsia. The prospect of dining
alone on cold viands and boiled pota-
toes offered but few more attractions
than a course in public eating houses.
but his habitual regard for Mrs. Ben
sons feelings prevented his saying so.
On the contrary. he thanked herl eff
fusivey for her tender thoughtful
ness.
iHdl NAM, Sdiu uts loohS par
ticularly fine. l am anxious to get at
dt now. | shan't step foot inside of
q restaurant so long as there is a
scrap of 1t left"
Mrs. Benson beamed with the hap
piness of the well-doer whose deeds
of kindness are appreciated by the re-
cipient.
Il thought you would like It," she
said
The next day when writing from
Boston Mrs. Benson appended post
script to her six-page letter
How is the ham," she asked.
In reply to this query Benson wrote:
"The ham is delicious. eat 1t for
breakfast and for dinner. Yesterday
l happened to be in this neighborhood
at lunch time, and-will you believe
mel couldn't bear to go downtown
again without a bite of that ham, so
I came and had a snack. You were n
trump to leave me so well provided
for"
Thenceforward Benson forwarded
to Boston daily bulletins of the state
of the ham market. For the most part
this information was conveyed in let
ters and postal cards, but on the
eighth day he rushed into telegraphic
activity. That morning he had
dumped four-fifths of the whole ham
Into the garbage can. so he wired with
a strict regard for truth; "The ham
Is gone"
On the twelfth day after Mrs. Ben
sons departure Benson received an
express package from Boston. Won
feringly he paid the charges of rs
cents. and wonderingly he unwrapped
the box.
"For the love of heaven" groaned
Benson. and resolved henceforward to
stick valiantly by the truth.
Mrs. Benson had sent him another
ham.

How We ca.ae to Wear cIothe.

1t has been truly remarked that in
order OF time, decoration precedes
dress. Among people who submit to
great physical suffering that they
may have themselves handsomely

borne with but little attempt at miti-
cation. Humboldt tells us that an
Orinoco Indian, though quite regard.

fortnight to purchase pigment where.
with to make himself admired: and
that the same woman who would not
hesitate to leave her hut without a
fragment of clothing on, would not
dare to commit such breach Of
decorum as to go out unpainted
The facts of aboriginal life seem to
indicate that dress is developed out OF
decorations. And when we remember
that even among ourselves, most think
more about the fineness OF the fabric
than Its warmth. and more about the
cut than the convenience-when we
see that the function is still in great
measure subordinated to the appear
ance. we have further reason for In

asked,

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness. which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
Bile can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch. as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.
The Elbert County tribune., 1908-01-09

Sheer white goods. in fact, any fine
wash goods when new, owe much of
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beau
ty. Home laundering would be equal
ly satisfactory If proper attention was
given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen, without thickening
the goods. Try Defiance Starch and
you will be pleasantly surprised at the
improved appearance of your work.

The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine

er makes half the usual quantity of
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish. equal to that when the
