Hen Lays CoIored Eggs.

Hiram Stillings is telling his
friends all about a favorite hen with
a poetic soul and an inspiration
toward higher things than the ordi
nary egg of commerce, He has dubbed
1t the Easter egg hen, because it lays
colored eggs.
When a bit of a chick last year
the fowl suffered a broken leg, and
was taken into the, kitchen to be
nursed. 1t became a great pet, and
when it got well spent most of tbs
time in the house watching the
women folks cook.
One day the hen saw Mrs. Still
ings coloring eggs for Easter. Fol-
several days the fowl wore q
thoughtful air, and it is clear now that
it had taken a firm resolve to lay only
painted eggs when 1t grew up.
Now, this hen ate onion skins and
indigo and calico print cloth, which,
as everybody knows, can be used to
color eggs. And in good time 1t be,
gan to lay eggs.
Each egg that 1t laid was colored
and each egg had a different design
Mr.. Stillings refrains from declaring
that the hen laid hard-boiled eggs
simply as a matter of policy.-Phila
delphia North American.

To Clean Brown Felt Hats,

Very dark brown felt hats may be
freshened by brushing with a brush
slightly dampened with solution of am
monia. Light brown or fawn felt is
best cleaned with fuller's earth, made
hot and applied with a flannel, or full
ler's earth and oatmeal, or ever oat-
meal alone.
Slightly soiled gray felt hats may be
cleaned with warm bran, but if more
than soiled, the best method is to
make a solution of pearlash and water
and clean the hat with it.
This solution may be used for fresh.
ening red felt hats also, but If the
color is not fast it is best to try the
solution on the interior of the hat or
a part that may afterward be trimmed
over II the color should fade.

Exercise Is Necessary

The body which is not exercised gets
1abby and weak and degenerates in
any number of bad ways. Double and
triple chins, horribly misshapen busts
and abdomens, fiat chests, lank waists,
and other unlovely features of many
unfortunate women's frames are the
creatures of no exercise. Exercise rids
the body of many shortcomings which
might be retained as deformities for
ever. The overplump, the overslim,
and the beautifully proportioned-in
fact, every woman-need 1t If face or
figure are to develop or preserve

very salt, and he felt he must abandon
the struggle to eat it. But his stub

So he fetched the whisky from the
cupboard, poured Out a glass and
placed it before him on the table.
Now, Sandy" said he, IF We eat

He stuck again at the last spoon.

the glass of whisky, he made a bold,
brave effort, and got it down. Then
he slowly and carefully poured back

TO REDUCE THE WEIGHT,
Systematic Exercise and Diet the Two
Main Requisites.

If you want to ge the fiat front fig
ure you must learn how and when to
exercise. 1t is useless to take exer-
else at night when you are tired, and
just as useless to exercise before a
meal.
English women are slim because
they keep their homes cool. Women
who fill their rooms with fresh air
are Simmer, as a rule, than those who
sit in an overheated atmosphere. The
lungs do better work under the cir
cumstances.
In India the stout person takes the
mind cure as well as the physical cure.
She says to herself: Il am not hun
cry" After she has repeated this she
takes a walk and engages in some
thing to occupy her mind. So she
lets a meal slip by.
In Denmark when a lady gets too
stout she is urged to get out upon
the hills and tend the sheep. She has
fresh milk to drink and she also eats
fruit and herbs, but no fish nor flesh
o fowl. She lives in the open and
she loses weight.
The so-called Colorado treatment
consists in sleeping out of doors in a
sleeping parlor built with sides Of
Japanese mating to keep the wind
from blowing upon you. Only two
pieces of bedding are required. There
must be a German feather bed to
place upon tie floor of the sleeping
parlor and another feather bed to be
drawn i've the sleeper.-Exchange.

"After an attack of rheumatism,
running sores broke out on my hus-
bands legs, from below the knees to
the ankles. There are no words to
tell all the discomforts and great suf-
fering he had to endure night and day.
He used every kind of remedy and
three physicians treated him, one after
the other, without any good results
whatever. One day l ordered some
Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment,
and Cuticura Resolvent. He began
to use them and in three weeks all the
sores were died up. The burning fire

MUST SUIT THE FACE.
Time Well Spent Over Arrangement
of Proper Couture.

There are no hard-and-fast rules
governing hair dressing save the great
fundamental one which so few profess
sional coiffeurs observe-namely, that
the outline must be neither stiff nor
conventional. The hair must be ar
ranged to suit the face, which, If 1t
chance to be of the fashionable Greek
type, may be somewhat drawn back
from the brow, preserving the
straight line of the profile. That same
profile line governs the position of the
knot at the back of the head and
should be carefully studied with the
aid of the hand glass. But If the nose
be short and the face rather broad,
the couture must be arranged in diff
ferent name on the top of the head,
although not necessarily In the extrav-
agant form Of pompadour which has
absolutely gone out of date. The hair
may be puffed above the brow so as
to meet the big coil at the crown
and If there are vacant spaces, the
ribbon may be arranged to fill them.
The t~hin-cheeked woman whose pro,
file lacks the straight Greek line re.
quires fluffy locks to soften her feat,
ures, and the crown braid to give the
desired breadth. She would better
wear the ribbon to show at the sides
