The use of the ':Parlor" match
and in fact all other matches except
"Safety." should be discontinued

SEED MEN BOOM VALLEY.

River Valley. which acknowledges it
to be the leading section of the
country for the raising of first class
farm products. In their annual
catalogues the seeds they are
specializing are all displayed as cred
River Crown" or "Red River Valley
Specials" This is especially true
with potatoes, the valley grown
seeds being given large percent
age of the advertising.
This sort of advertising is especially
beneficial to this section. for it
makes it known as not only the
wheat growing district of the United
States. but also the vegetable garden
of the Northwest. 1t is said that
the demand for all kinds of seed
raised in the valley commands the
highest prices and are in big de-

Woman's Wit.

An emperor of Germany besieged a city which belonged to one of his rebel lious noblemcn. After the siege had lasted for a long time the emperor de- termined to take it by storm and to de- stroy all 1t contained by fire and sword. He did not, however, wish to injure the defenseless women; therefore, he sent proclamation into the town. say ing that all the women might leave the place unhurt and carry with them whatever they held most precious. The nobleman's wife instantly decided to take her husband, and the other wo- men followed her example. They soon issued from the city gate in long pro- cession, each one with her husband on her shoulders. The emperor was so much struck with the noble conduct of the women that he spared all; even the city itself was left untouched.

Too Slow to Be a Soldier.

In a room on the top floor of a large factory q boy was amusing himself by going through the bayonet exercise with long handled brush in lieu of a rife. His boss. coming quickly upon him, gave him a box on the ear for wasting his time. The sudden blow caused the lad to lose his balance and fall down the hoist shaft. but fortu- nately he kept his hold on the brush. the handle of which, getting across the shaft. broke his fall and enabled him to grasp the chain, down which he slid In safety. The boss was mortified Ut the effect of his action and rushed breathless and gasping with fear down the eight flights of stairs to the base ment, expecting to find mangled body for which he would have to ac- count. He was, however, just in time to see the lad drop on his feet un- harmed. so, recovering his self pos session and his breath, he exclaimed:
 Want to be a soldier, eh? Well, you're too slow for that Why, man, | can walk down all those stairs quick CT than you can fall down the hoist shaft."-London Answers.

German Humor,

The tendency of the German comic papers to employ continuously the same characters as producers of mirth" is the subject of an article in q Berlin paper by Ludwig Bauer. The writer mentions as the most conspicu. ous of the funny figures the absent minded professor whose habitual um. brclla losing proclivities have made generations laugh. This figure had its origin at q time, he says, when the man of letters was q helpless person Tn the active world-a dreamer dwell. ing in realms away from the actual and therefore blind to his surround ings. In this form he has been rep resented in the comic papers. Hut Germany, he thinks. not the professor, has been and is being caricatured. The professor today must be wide awake man, for science Is no longer un is- land. These are not the days for sleep and for dreams. Another abused char acter Is the lieutenant who, having no foe to fight, Is always shown as mak- ing conquests where Amor has com mand. The old maid is another of the stock figures, and one of equal !mpor- tance Is MT. Newlyrich. Of the latter 1t Is said: "He Is always full of fear and suspicion. He knows that he has been misplaced. and he sways from side to side like a .timid rope walker. This makes him really funny, and we must laugh at his antics"

It was unanswerable from her opponents point of view, even if it did not always convert them, but it did lead a countless number into saner ways of living and along the way to the present methods of treating tuber- culosis.-Boston Transcript

Toward the Pole.

Ice eight feet thick on the ocean and snow falling even in summer-such is the weather experienced in the polar regions. When the air Is dry and still 1t is remarkable how low a tempera- ture can be borne with ease. One ex- plorer tells us that with the thermome- ter at 0 degrees it was too warm for skating. The summer weather in this region Is. moreover. In some respects pleasant and healthful Within the arctic zone there are wonderfully col ored sunrises and sunsets to be seen. They are both brilliant and impressive. But the nights-the nights are monot- onous and repelling. A rigid world buried in everlasting snow, silent save for the cracking of the Ice or the wall of the wind. Travellers in these reS gions experience many discomforts. The keen air causes their skin to burn and blister, while their lips swell and crack. Thirst, again. has been much complained of, arising from the action of the low temperature on the warm hOdy.

COLLARS OF LINEN
>NOT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE
 PASSED YOUTHS BLOOM.
Soft Ruches or Neckwear of Muslin or Lawn Better Suited to the EIderDy-Transparen White
 UndersIeeves.

Starched white linen should be son is simply because the hard, smooth texture of the material contrasts unfavorably and accen- tuates every wrinkle and bit of yellowishness or fabbiness in the skin. Better admit that the fresh f1rmness of youth is gone and dress accordingly than make oneself appear older by emphasizing the gain of years.
 For example, there is scarcely any type of face in a girl, or young wom- an, to which a linen collar is not be- coming. The severe white line with smart tie, large or small, is chic, and it Is this fact which accounts for such collars not going out of fashion.
 Put this kind of neck finish about the throat of a woman who Is past middle age and she looks "scraggy and passe. For her soft ruches should be considered a necessity of life, or, in their stead, white collars made of bias folds of soft muslin or lawn.
 One of the most becoming, and at the same time inexpensive, ties that can be worn is made with width of null three-quarters of a yard long. The ends should be rolled and wash lace four inches in width gathered on with double the fullness.
 That completes the neckpiece, but the knack lies in the way 1t is put on. Instead of holding it so that the ends will be straight across, pull them so that they are bias. Fasten separate white collar foundation on the neck, and then pull the tie so that it be- comes the width of the collar. Put this under the chin and cross at the back, where 1t should be held in the middle with a fancy little pin. Bring the two ends around front and you will find that they hang long and pointed. Tie these ends in two common knots, one after the other, the second form two ends hanging like jabot, an ef- feet that is quite finished if the two lowerpoints are pinned invisibly to the waist.
 For the reason that hands betray age or illness by becoming wrinkled or scraggy, stiff cuffs should be avoid ed by III but the young. Soft frills must be used instead.
 The reign of elbow sleeves is so complete that it takes brave woman to give it no heed. Yet better that one should ignor2 it than spoil ones whole effect by an unbecoming finish, which these short sleeves usually make. This is due to the fact that 8 woman whose arms are pretty from the elbows down is the exception. "A well-rounded arm" existst more ire quently in the mind of a poet or artist than in fact, and nature turns out some decidedly homely specimens. If 6 woman who knows that she is nu. blessed in this derection will give the matter a little thought, she will do much to improve herself.

How tn End .n Cns Leak.

It is unfortunately very usual to seek for a gas leakage with lighted can- dle, a proceeding which is responsible for many explosions. Instead open the windows Of the room to let out the obnoxious gas and admit the fresh air, and mix a pound of soap, cut in shay ings, with three and a half pints of water and apply this sticky fluid tc the gas pipe with a brush. The leak in the pipe will be indicated by bub- bles in the soapy application, and the damage may be temporarily rectified by rubbing the spot with a cake of soap, softened by being used, which will stop the leakage of gas till the plumber can arrive to execute a per manent repair.

How to Loosen a Glass Stopper.

There are several ways of loosening the glass stoppers of bottles or de- canters. One is to stand the bottle h hot water; another is to drop a little oil between the stopper and the de- canter with feather and set near the fire After a time strike the stopper gently on all sides with a piece of wood and if 1t does not move repeat the process. A strip of flannel around the neck of the bottle, pulled back ward and forward to produce friction. will sometimes loosen stoppers.
