Knew Who Used II.

Charles II. Hoyt, New England's
great playwright, once visited small
town in Pennsylvania where there Is
hotel they say George Washington,
the Father of His Country, used to
stop at when he passed through. In it
they have room he is said to have oc-
cupied at times.
Hoyt came through there once with
one of his attractions. He arrived at
the hotel after all the members of the
company had been assigned rooms.
One Of the company was given the
Washington room. and Hoyt received
a poor room on the top floor, the pro-
prietor not knowing who he was.
When he came downstairs later the
gentleman who had got the good room
said, "Mr. Hoyt, they have given me
the room that they used to give George
Washington when he came here"
WELL" said Hoyt, 1.-The one they
have given me must be the one they
gave Benedict Arnold when he came"

vegetables give more endurance than
meats and in hot weather are better

To Sew Hooks on Dresses,

In sewing on hooks, whether used
in connection with eyes or peets, al
ways spread the hooks, all sizes, be-
fore sewing on; it not only makes
the strain come on different parts of
the material, but 1t prevents them
from pushing forward and showing
at the edges of collars. plackets and
such things.
When sewing them on a boned lin
ing the bone can be slipped between
the front curves and the back of the
hook. after they have all been sewn
on. making 1t very taut, thus saving
the labor of fastening the bone in
the usual way. 1t must, of course
be fastened at either end after 1t is
inserted. otherwise 1t will come en-
tirely of during the process of hook
ing the dress.

THE SPORTING WORLD
Or. Roller HurIS Def.

B. F. Roller of Seattle, Wash, ply
sician, wrestler, boxer and all round
athlete, is again on the warpath. He has
hurled def at Stanley Ketchel and
philadelphia Jack" O'Brien. Roller
says he is anxious to exchange jabs,
uppercuts and swings with either Of
the two in six, ten or twenty round
bout. He thinks he is the man to re-
gain the pugilistic crown now worn
by Jack Johnson to the white race.
Roller has been before the public in
many rolls. Several years ago he was
a conspicuous figure in University of
Pennsylvania athletics. Roller was a
stalwart fellow when he entered the
medical school of the university, COM
ing from De Pauw university, and he
was at once picked for the football
squad. He played in the practice
games, but was not on the eleven be-
cause 1t was learned that he had
played four years with the De Pauw
team; therefore under the football
rules he was ineligible for the univer.
sity eleven. Roller has had fairly good
success in the wrestling game and has
met defeat only at the hands of Cham
pion Frank Gotch.

THE PERFUMED BATH
REFRESHING TONICS EASILY
MADE AT HOME.
The Benefits TO be Derived from
Camphor, Oatmeal, Milk and Soda
Baths-Particularly Commended
for Depressingly Hot Weather.

A delicately perfumed bath of
softened water Is a tonic that i'm
proves the texture of the skin and
Improves the compiexion. The ex-
pense of such a tub need not neces-
sarily be large, and the refreshment
IRON 1t Is great owing to the relaxa-
ton of the nerves.
A Camphor bath is the one to be
commended for the depressingly
arm days of . uL-mer. 1t Is made
from a mixture of an ounce Of tinc-
ture of camphor. half as much tine
ture Of benzoin, and two ounces Of
toilet vinegar, Such a bath as this
may be taken in the morning, at
night. or, If preferred. in the after
noon. Better effects will be gained
If the immersion Is taken at such
time as to permit of lying down for
Salf an hour or so afterward.
A '7oman VINO is fortunate enough
tC spend her summer on a farm
where milk is plentiful should not
lJse the chance to ndulged in milk
baths, for nothing will more quick
~ soften ana whiten the skin than
this simple wash. A tub not being
always at hand In the country, 1t may
be necessary to use q basin. In
either case the solut on need not be
more than half milk. aand the water
should be hot enough to warm
the milk sufficiently to mako 1t a
comfortable temperature. No soap
is used IN a soap cloth, rather than
q crush should be used in applying It..
A strong tonic bath is made by
mixing a pound Of muriate Of soda
with half poL' of sulphate Of So
da and quarter o. pound each Of
| chlorides of lime and magnesia.
These ingredients may be put into
the tub and water poured on to dis
solve them. Then the tub must be
lilled in the usual way. This par
ttcular tonic should not be used Of
toner tan once a week, OF its ef-
feet upon the skin will be drying.
Not expensive and very delight

ing five pounds of any Of the steam
cooked" variety o. oatmeal to a
pound OF powdered orris root to a
round of almond meal. and half a
pound Of CASTLE soap scraped. A
small quantity is then sewed into q
cheesecloth bag and one Of these
may be used several times by tossing
it into the bath for fifteen minutes
before using.

Baseball Follows the Flag.

Baseball follows the flag even in our
hot tropical possessions In the Pana-
ma canal zone two leagues played a
series of games in the season just
closed there. At Colon the sport has
taken such q hold on the people that
it is proposed to put up new base
ball park prior to the opening Of the
next league season. The Panama Rail
road company has granted the ground
for the purpose, and the business men
of Colon are contributing to fund for
the erection of an inclosure and grand
stand. The games draw attendances
varying from GOO to 1900 each game.

New Park For Brooklyns.

Though his team may be too close to
the cellar to satisfy the Brooklyn fans,
Charley Ebbets, president of the Su.

big money getters next year and is
having plans drawn up for q new sta
dium at Washington park. The diamond
may be shifted around and double
deck grand stand built where the %
cent bleachers now stand and where
there is always good breeze blowing
The diamond will be laid where the
left field foul line now stands, which
would aid the catcher in getting after

A Good Definition,

In one of the New York schools sew
eral Of the children in one class failed
on the definition Of the word bachelor.
The teacher, to impress the meaning
Of the word on the minds Of the pu-
pills, told the class to look up the word
that night and come prepared with a
good definition the next day.
When the question was taken up at
the next session the first little girl
who was asked to define the word an.
swered with confident and smiling
air, "a bachelor is a very happy
man"
The teacher grew interested. "Are
you sure that is correct?" she asked
the little one.
"Oh. yes" was the prompt reply.
