No application is better for luster-

In a large handkerchief or wear a

If you are going to dance or re-
ception and do not wish your face to
have shiny look, then use this
preparation, which is perfectly harm
less and gives beautiful white color
to the skin; Take half cup Of hot
water and place in it one teaspoonful
of lemon juice, little cologne and
two tablespoonfuls of Epson salts.
After washing and drying the face.
pour little of this mixture in the
hands and rub over the face and neck
until it dries. You will be surprised
how white and smooth it makes the
skin. If you desire, you can use a
pinkish-white powder over this, and
your face will be clear and white all
evening. Again, this preparation cures
pimples and also smooths the skin. A
bottle of this can be made at home
for five cents.

Immunizino Hons.

The experiments of the Bureau of
Animal Industry of the Agricultural
Department with hog cholera during
the past year demonstrated that the
contagion consists of virus which
exists in the blood and other fluids of
diseased animals, but which can pass
through the finest filter, Is invisible
under the microscope, and, therefore,
cannot be isolated or 1iscerned by any
Of the usual methods. Extensive tests
Of a method of minimizing boys
against cholera have proven this
means effective, but there is still con-
siderable question of the practicability
Of this. method of controlling a dis
ease that causes such an enormous
loss to the farmers of the country dur
ing the course of year. BY this
method hogs that have recovered
from cholera or that have been ex-
posed without contracting it are in
Iected with suitable amounts of viru-
lent blood from diseased hogs, and in
his way their immunity is heighten-
cd. The blood serum of these inn
nunes is then used in vaccinating the
hogs which it is desired to protect.
The method giving the best results is
% inject blood from diseased hogs 81.
multaneously with the immune serum.
BY this method of vaccination hogs
are protected for three and a half
months or more. phile by the use Of
serum alone the protection cannot be
expected to last longer than three
weeks. 1t is claimed the immunized
1ogs retain for several months their
power to furnish a potent serum To
prove successful curative agent. the
serum must be administered within
'our days after actual infection.-Up'

POINTERS OF VALUE
BEST METHODS OF INTERIOR
DECORATION.
Avoid Making Simplicity Synonymous
with Bareness-Rules to Be
Observed by the Lovers
OF Beauty.

Don't use narrow strip of car
peting on the stairway This is an
obsolete custom that must have orig
mated in the mind of some person
with more genius for economy than
for decor eon of comfort. Cover the
boards completely with carpeting or
with oriental runners. And don't use
any of the fastening attachments that
have an exposed strip of brass or
wood; tacks are better.
The old rule, green with mahogany
and blue with oak, is treacherous.
Those who understand how to apply
1t usually have color sense enough to
disobey it with impunity. OF course,
light blue with dark mahogany is
preposterous; but so is light green.
And while light green fabrics are
most interesting against light ma
hogany frames, light blues can be
used with equally felicitous results.
1t is only matter of knowing how.
Don't pile up one poor couch with a
dozen or two sofa cushions, no three
alike in size, shape or color. That sort
of thing is a survival of the hideous
cozy corner days and was accompanied
by papier mache Mosques and busts
and tin swords and tin armor.
Don't get the idea into your head
that simplicity is synonymous with
baroness or with lack of luxury. Sim
plicity in interiors, as in gowns, is apt
to be expensive when most successful,
and is the result rather Of selection
than of elimination. Two tone effects
in domestic rugs and wall papers cost
more than the much-patterned ones,
the many colors and numerous lines
of which serve to hide imperfections
of material, weave and print. 1t Is not
the elaboration OF the great historic
period styles that makes them pre-
ferred by those who combine decora'
tive experience with natural good
taste; 1t is the lack of confusion-in
other words, simplicity. All Louis
XVI. furniture and fabrics tend to go
together, just as do all things Gothic
or all things Italian renaissance. The
stricter the adherence to any definite
period the simpler is apt to be the
style.
Don't destroy your rugs by beating
them. Domestic rugs suffer even more
from beating than do orientals. ORR
entail rugs can stand good deal OF
rough treatment on account of the
way the pile is knotted into the struc'
ture. But 1t only takes two or three
hard thrashings to put the average
domestic rug quite out of business
Tap rugs lightly on the back to dis
lodge dirt and gravel. Then sweep
the dust off the face with damp saw
dust or snow.
Don't hang lace or other light
weight curtains on large rods. Use
the small brass ones and let little OF
the folded over curtain show above the
rod, stiffened with tape If neces'
sary, to keep it upright. The new
English gathering tape, which makes
the gathering automatically, will be
found of great convenience. Another
variety of it makes box plaits of any
desired width.

mo Gulf of Mute Space"

The thousand soft voices Of the
earth have truly found their way to
me-the small rustic in tufts Of grass,
the silky swish of leaves, the buzz Of
insects, the hum Of bees in blossoms

wings after his bath, and the slender
ripping vibration of water running
over pebbles. Once having been felt,
these loved voices rustic, buzz, hum,

ROOM FILLED WITH SKELETONS.
crewsome Discovery Made in an An
clent Monastery at Carentinl.

For nearly SO years the monastery
at Carlentini, Italy. has been aban-
doned, although the chapel connected
with 1t has remained open for public
worship. Behind the sacristy is a
door which has always been shut and
was believed to lead into one OF the
rooms of the monastery. The other
day the syndic decided to make use
of this room, SO he had some workmen
open the door, A terrifying spectacle
met their gaze for the room was piled
full Of human skeletons, reaching al
most to the ceiling. The syndic or
dered the skeletons, some of which
We're more or less n1ummifed bodies,
to be taken out and buried in the
Campo Santo. They numbered few
over 1000.
Naturally, a tremendous sensation
was caused by these discoveries, and
the widest conjectures given voice
to. According, however, to the Oldest
inhabitant of Carlentini, the facts are
as follows: When monks inhabited
the monastery, a certain sum was paid
them for the privilege of sepulture in
the church. The church, however, was
small, and when there was no room
for any more corpses, the monks, rath-
er than lose an important source of
income, continued to receive bodies
for burial, but instead of depositing
them beneath the floor of the church,
cast them into the rooms behind the
sacristy, or into the pavilions close by,
where they have just been discovered.

How Lord Kelvin Saved His Neck.

The late Lord Kelvin, when he was
deep in some abstract problem, was
very absent-minded and unpunctual.
So much so, that his parrot used al
ways to cry out: Late again! Late
again" when the scientist came in
to his meals He never gave himself
time to catch trains, and for many
years persisted in jumping into
trains while they were in motion-to
the great risk of his limbs. His
friends declared that the ice acct
dent which famed him was blessing
in disguise, for it saved his neck.
