SHOT DECOY DUCKS.

And Jeopardized the Life of the Man
 Who Owned Them.
 Last week J. \. Jameson, who is now making his permanent home in his new bungalow at Twin Lakes, purchased four Mallard ducks of L. c. Rhoades, of Ca naan. to be used for iecoy purposes. A few days ago he placed them on one of the lakes. took his position behind a "blind" and waited for other ducks to come down into the water. After few moments of waiting Mir. Jameson was startled by shot behind him and the next instant saw two of his decoy ducks huttering in the water. X Salisbury lad was also i'll quest of duck on that day and when he saw MT. Jameson's de- coys. blazed away at them. The shot went directly over MT. Jameson's head and had he raised just as the young man fired. there might have been fatal re- suits. Between the fright which the young hunter received and the remarks MT. Jameson made to him after the shooting, it is safe to say that he will be m lre cautious in the future.

The Strangers Impression

"This country looks like southwestern West Virginia, said spectacled pas senger on the noon accommodation train Saturday at Kent Furnace. "those buildings (the furnace buildings and other surroundiugs) look like coal pit and plantation. When the train came opposite the old saw mill across the river, above North Kent, he asked if it was an old fashioned treadmill He ex- pressed the opinion that if n jackrabbit ran down the mountains by Choggam brook, he would break his neck. At Cornwall Bridge, he said "I thought I heard "A haudorgan." Passing out of West Cornwall he said, "Wen have to canvass this country some day, and sell tallow candle-sticks.

TOILET ARTICLES.
That Beauty Requires to Make Herself

That Beauty Requires to Make Herself
 More Fascinating.
 What toilet articles-aids to beauty shall a woman keep on her dressing tableY No bureau Is complete without an eyebrow brush, for no feature Is more conspicuous than the brows and none more repays care. Yet a dress Ing table on which is a soft brush for this especial purpose is the exception. The bristles of such a brush should be long and soft
 Another desirable article is very small pair of curved scissors. Thrse In good steel are to be bought from Ta cents to SIPS. Such scissors are mos. necessary to clip the cuticle about hs nails when It Is rough and may nfse be used to promote the growth of ths eyelashes. The latter are stimulated and made better looking in many cases If they are given the merest clipping every two or three months. This should be done with the lightest and finest curved variety of scissors. chamois burnisher with which to polish the nails varies in price from 15 cents to $2 and S3, according to the size, but one about four inches long and narrow Is quite as big as any one requires. A polishcr like this, backed with wood, is far more seryiceable and will make the nails look better than a small one with wide silver back Length, not width, Is required in a buffer.
 An atomizer always gives pleasure when being used In the bottle may be put either toilet water or a special aStringent to be put on after wash!ns the face. The fine spray sent out by the atomizcr when the rubber bulb Is squeezed will go over every part or the surface toward which 1t Is directed and at the same time take much less of tho liquid than when applied with a cloth
 Comparatively few girls have bath br&Shcs. but no one article of toilet will do more toward giving soft skin. The best brushes are English and cost from SI to So.50. those with detachable han tlles being the best. Cheaper varieties may Ec purchased, but do not last long.

The effect of this upon burns is wonderful in it's healing and soothing powers, and it is equally efficacious for sunburn.

TRUE FRIENDSHIP.
A Blessing to 30 Cultivated end Highly Valued


 Valued.
 Only he has friends worth while who Is willing to pay the price for making and keeping them He may not have quite as large fortune as If he gnvo all of his time to money making. But wouldn't you rather have good. stanch friends who believe in you and who would stand by you in adversity than have little more moneyy
 But friendship must be cultivated It cannot be bought. It is priceless If you abandon your friends for s quarter of century or more while you are buried in your pursuit of wealth you cannot expect to come back and find them where you left them. Did you ever get or keep anything worth while without an effort equal to Its value?
 Many people seem to think that friendship Is a one sided affair. They enjoy their friends, enjoy having them come to see them, but they rarely think of putting themselves out to re- ciprocate or take the trouble to keep up their friendships, while the fact Is reciprocation is the very essence of friendship.
 It does not matter how much knowi edge you have in your head or what your accomplishments are, you win live cold, friendless, isolated life un- less you come In close constant con tact with other lives, unless you culu- vate your sympathies and take real interest in others-suffer with them. rejoice with them, help them.

"a co@It"y boy knows that the fine !;'rt Of the brown fungi he calls p''T- balls will stop hleeGlng, says Harper's BaZar. When he cuts himself he hunts for ore of these if the cut Is not seri- o;:S. If the cut is deep. 1t Is wise to bathe it in warm water with cUrholic In it or a tablet of chloride of mercury dissolved iu the water. Carefully re- move all foreign matter in the wash ing. and then, pinching the lips of the cut together, put on strips of adhesive plaster. Be sure to leave little spaces for pus to run out. This running of pus Is a natural process and is not alarming unless persistent and the pus comes in unreasonable quantities. Sometimes the blood flows so rapidly that you cannot close the wound with plaster. If so. tie a bandage tightly above the wound before you attend to the wound itself. This will stop the flow of blood, and, nature having formed her clot, you can do your part with plaster.

sHEIK A LINER CAPTAIN.
Bedouin Chief Brings Big Russian
 Steamer Across Ocean.


 A transatlantic liner which reacEed here to-day Is commanded by Bedouin sheik, chief of tribe of nearly 100000 children of the desert, says New York dispatch to the Washington Post.
 Capt. Sheik Ashiri," as his name was entered in the custom house to-day, Is the new commander of the steamer Moskwa, of the Russian volunteer feet which reached her wharf In South Brooklyn today. The Moskwa was originally the Fuerst Bismarck of the Hamburg-American line. During the Spanish-American war she was called the Don and was used by Spain In an effort to gobble up American commerce.
 This Is tke maiden voyage of Sheik Ashiri In the Moskwa. In honor of his taking command and because of his having won distinction In the late Rus sian-Japanese war as commander of the Russian transport Saratov. the CZar gave special permission to have mar riage ceremony between his eldest daughter and her cousin, a Russian naval lieutenant, solemnized aboard the Moskwa at Libau just before the ship sailed.
 Captain SheIk Ashiri Is worth more than S250000. He owns vast groves of olives, oranges and date palms in Jerusalem. The Bedouin tribe of which he Is chief holds him in the deepest

 Captain Sheik Ashiri, who is 51 years old, is a handsome, full-bearded man, and has so many medals and decora- tions that he is unable to wear at one time the whole collection on his breast which Is unusually broad.

During times of business depression, such as lately affected some parts of this country, the number of unemployed Is suddenly increased. Conditions at this time have given better opportunity to study unemployed labor than Is pos sible in good times, when troubles are concealed, or in really bad times, which distract and confuse. One fault In the social structure stood out clear. In New York City a large charitable SO ciety had temporarily to close some of its departments, owing largely to in creased demands made upon 1t by men out of work Many of the men were not New Workers, but were from small Ter towns. Although they had not been long idle,-most mills that shut down reopened soon,-they sought the big city. hoping to find job where "so much was going on." It is discourag. ing, but instructive. to see that these men had gone exactly in the wrong di' rection to find new places In normal times most cities are overloaded, while thinly settled sections need labor. Al though farm work is not at Its height in winter, a New York farmer wrote in December to one of the metropolitan papers, saying that he and several of his neighbors needed able-bodied men. A city Is at saturation point or beyond 1t in the matter of laboring population. The nation, as a whole, has not men enough Any one can prove this by his experience If he tries to hire help In a small country town. With only quar- ter the population that it can support, America yet has the second city In the world. The dlsproportion is tolerable in good times. 4 slight disturbance shows 1t to be an essential social fault, There Is more need than ever of agen' cies to distribute American workmen and to send more of them back to the land. Even in times of utmost prosper lty huddled society cannot make best use of its hands, and the huddllng mili- tates against the prosperity of a coun- try with miles of workable land lying td1a

thing about good handshahe which Is the silent interpreter of welcome. A person possessing a great deal of per sonal magnetism may just take your hand in his and the cordial welcome Is recognized without even so much as the slightest pressure of the fingers Others may have good grip, which is more like a clutch. There is not set rule for handshaking unless a person bears in mind that handshaking must be a feeling expressed with the hands and not the eye or voice. If only done through a matter of form. there Is no earthly use of shaking hands at all Strong intuition serves a great many persons, and to grasp cold, clammy hand, which lies like piece of marble in ones hand, is to make a big-hearted person feel like he had come in contact with the wrong party.

Divide Bed for Children.

Here is a simple contrivance which takes the place of separate beds for children. Take an old soft comforter which can be easily washed and roll it the long way so that it will reach from the head to the foot of the bed. At night place this roll down the center of the bed. between the sheets, letting It also separate the pillows. The chill dren are thus entirely separated. though one set of covers does for both. The covers can be pinned to the roll with large safety pins to keep tEem from slipping. The roll prevents the motions of one child from disturbing the other. holds the covers in place, and gives the little ones something soft to "snuggle up" to. Each child Is prac- ncally alone in bed by itself.

 Avoid violent contrasts In color or light and shade in your attire. Plain colors are best for gowns and draperies usually come out much better than frills and founces.

Lemons Kill Germs.

The hygienic properties of lemons, which contain citric acid, have been we'll known for many years, but 1t Is only lately that scientists have discov- cred the acid was powerful enough to kill the germ of typhoid fever in twenty -four hours. Some typhoid fe- yer bacilli treated with raw lemon juice and placed in the sunshine were killed in two hours, the sunshine prov Ing a quick agent in connection with the medicinal properties of the fruit. Lemons have been found beneficial in the worst forms of smallpox and chol- era, so 1t Is well to know the medici- nal properties of harmless yet power ful fruit acid.

Work and Women

For the first time in its History the United States Supreme Court has re gently been called upon to decide the right of State to regulate the work Ing hours of adult women. A law of Oregon limits these hours to ten in one day in factories, mechanical establish, ments and laundries. Curt Miller, a ality of this law, which was, however, upheld by the Oregon Supreme Court in 1906. The decision of the Federal Su- preme Court, to which the case was appealed, will substantially determine the constitutionality of all laws re- stricting womens working hours In the United States. Such laws have been enacted In nineteen States. the earliest In Massachusetts In 1874, the latest more than a generation afterwards. These laws are not the result of an ephemeral public whim, but a delber- ate public purpose. One of the leading members of the Boston bar. Mir. Louis D. Brandeis, generously volunteered us hcl INtS uo dSSoCIdtt COuuseI III dL- guing at Washington this Oregon case. Mir Brandeis also submitted a brief which is of extraordinary interest, in that 1t brings before the court the ac- tual facts at issue in this case-that Is, the effects, physical, moral and econom- lc. of regulating women's working hours.-The Outlook.
