Composite Beauty.

The classical face. which is the
model in art, is, according to the analy.
sis Of recent writer, an ideal concep-
tion combining the largest number of
good proportions. 1t is composite Of
perfect individual features. Uzeuxis
Helen Of Argos is depletion of per.
sonal beauty in which are combined
the charms of five beautiful virgins Of
that time. Cornova's Venus" unites
the beauty of 60 different women
Annie Wolf in her work, "The Truth
About Beauty" says: The best recipe
! have ever seen for complete bodily
splendor is to study Greek models for
the head, English for the complexion,
Irish for the hands. American for the
finger nails, Hindostanee for the feet,
and Spanish for the gait" Now, the
same composite principle obtains In
the classical face.

Not So Very Precious.

A New York hotel Is going to have
enough gold dishes to serve dinner
Of seven courses to rs persons. OF
course. this suggests moralizing on
prodigal luxury and illusions to Lu-
cullus and Apicius and also to Bel
shazzar. But there was a time when
even kings dined from trenchers. The
Introduction of pewter was probably
denounced by the philosophers Of the
day as prodigality, and while silver
is not commonly used for dishes from
which persons eat, 1t is in such gen
eral use for the larger pieces and for
spoons, forks and drinking vessels
that the use Of silver must represent,
as compared with the previous GUS
toms, about as great an increase of
expenditure as the use of a gold din
ing service does now The precious
metals are not so precious as they
were once.-Philadelphia Record.

Hold Husband Responsible.

When a married woman beats q
man, even with an ak. in the pres
ence Of her husband. she can not be
held legally responsible. for the act
must be presumed to have been COM
.mitted by the husbands direction and
under coercion from him. At least
that Is what Pennsylvania court has
ruled in the case Of woman who vio-
lently assaulted an Objectionable Wis
itor after her husband had refused to
obey her command to throw the Wis
itor out. The opinion Of Mr.. Bumble
as to what the law is Is frequently
corroborated.

Origin Of Name. Of Breeds.

Spaniels were so called because the
original breed Of this type came from
Spain. The Blenheim spaniel got his
name from Blenheim palace, where
this dog first gained popularity In the
time Of the great duke Of Marlborough.
In the same way the King Charles
spaniel owes its name to the merry
monarch. Fox terriers did not gain
their names from a likeness to the
fox, but from the fact that formerly
they were used in hunting foxes
Many years ago they we're sent by
their masters down the fox's burrow
to draw and kill their quarry. 1t was
in those days saying that good fox
terrier never came out Of burrow
without the fox. He either brought
out his prey dead or never came out
alive himself.

Year Without . Summer.

The year 1916 has a remarkable
cold weather record and is known as
the year without a summer In
that year there was 4 sharp frost In
every month. and the people all over
the world began to believe that some
great and definite change In the earth
was taking place. The farmers used
to refer to II as "eighteen-hundred-a and.
starve.to-death." Frost. Ice and snow
we're common in June. Almost every
green thing was killed and the fruit
was nearly all destroyed. During the
month snow fell to the depth Of three
inches In New York and Massachu.
setts and ten inches In Maine. There
were frost and ice In July In New
York. New England and Pennsylvania
and corn was nearly all destroyed Ia
certain sections. Ice half an inch
thick formed In August. A cold north
wind prevailed all summer.

allowed publishers to secure re-
newals of subscriptions, but unless
subscriptions are expressly re-
newed after the term for which
they are paid, within the. follow
ing periods:
Dailies within three months.
Weeklies, within one year,
they shall not be counted in the
legitimate list of subscribers, and
copies mailed on account thereof
shall not be accepted for mailing

age rate of one cent q pound, but
may be mailed at the transient
second-class postage rate of one
cent for each four ounces or frac-
tion thereof, prepaid by stamps
affixed"
In compliance with this order

Postmasters of the nation are
being advised by the Postmaster
General of all important change
in registration fees to take effect
November /. Heretofore the fee
for registering a letter was eight
cents, in addition to the regular
postage, but under the new or
der this fee has been raised to
ten cents, exclusive of postage.
On the other hand, the maximum
indemnity for loss of registered
matter now is $25, whereas the
new maximum will be $50. What
effect the new order will have
upon registration offices remains
to be seen, but it is thought that
the addition of two cents will not
cut much figure and that Uncle

TRIBUTE RANSDELL.

New York, Oct. 1.-THE New
York Tribune says, editorially:
Representative Jos. +. Rams
dell, of Louisiana, has been preach
ing the gospel of diversified farm
ing in his State, and it is doubt
full if there is any method by
which a Southern statesman can
more greatly benefit his people
than by utilizing his eloquence to
impress upon them the import
ant truths which Mr.. Ransdell
sets forth. An indictment of
Southern agricultural methods,
when uttered by Northern lips,
is not likely to be either welcome
or effective, but the appeal of the
same plain truths, when preached
by Southerner, is clearly shown
by the commentator which Mr..
Ransdell's remarks have received
in the press of his section.
"The burden of Mr.. RansdelPs
teaching is that the Southern
farmer should abandon the ona-
crop idea which has 50 terribly
depleted the productivity ofSouth.
ern farms; should raise all his OWL
hog and hominy,' his draft stock
and its provender and make extra
ordinary effort to escape the
clutches of the credit system
Only those familiar with South
ern farm methods can appreci'
ate the extent to which these evils
prevail, and, therefore, the I'M
portance of the gospel which
Mr.. Ransdell has undertaken to
spread"
The number of Southern farm
ers, or planters, who raise nc
crops but cotton, who buy not
only all the supplies for thell
families, but the forage for thei1
horses and mules, who PURCHASE
their seed and their fertilizer anC
and all their other supplies OF
credit and are then compelled t.
rush their cotton to the gin a.
it is picked in order to meet :heil
Indebtedness and stop the almost
ruinous interest is almost incred
itible. If Mr.. Ransdell can rem
edy these conditions i'll his State
he will, indeed, have performed
great public service.
An interesting suggestion il
made by the New Orleans Picay
une in connection with Mr.. Rams
dell's remarks. Commenting OIL
the difficulties of curing pork il
the climate of Louisiana, it pro
poses the establishment of cole
storage plants in every city, wher
the years supply of pork may b.
slaughtered and packed, so tina
all importations of pork product
from the North can be avoided
