BIOGRAPHICAL
u CALENDAR
August 80.
SIR JOHN RENNlE.

Sir John Rennie who was knighted
the structure famous in song and story
was born in London August 80, 1894
He was the son Of John Rennie, ia
nous Scotch civil engineer, who built
the Waterloo bridge acress the Thames
and made the plans for the bridge
which his son carried to completion.
Sir Johns brother, George, was also
eminent as a civil engineer
The new London bridge, which re-
placed the ancient pile, was opened in
1881. 1t is a magnificent structure, in
it's way, but it can never have the in
terest that attaches to Old London
bridge.
The structure known in these times
as old London bridge dated from about
1176. 1t was doubtless renewed from
time to time but in Shakespeare's day
it's cost for repairs are numerous.
The reason for a great expense in
keeping it up was the manner in which
it was built, there being a stone upper
part resting on piling, and surmounted
by rows of houses. This made the
bridge top-heavy, and it swayed in
tide and wind.
Lined by houses the roadway was
narrow and dark and the favorite re-
sort of hard characters after dark.
This circumstance and the record Of
crimes and mysterious doings con-
nected with the history of the bridge,
made it favorite scene for the plots
of fiction writers; while history sup
plies its striking incidents in great
number in the chronicles of the
bridge.
For many years it was custom to
display on the top of the bridge gates
each one had large gate house
the heads of persons beheaded at the
tower Many a thief or other rogue
has gazed with CLASSY and unseeing
eyes from the housetops of the bridge
gates; and many a man illustrious in
history was disgraced in death by the
display of his head on pike on Lon
don bridge.
Among the men whose heads were

At dinner party a friend Of mine

And the thing that struck me most
forcibly about the performance she

audience like a great many little Great
ures eating. And locker and saw that
all the children were biting their nails,
nibbling them like a squirrel a nut.
| The principal of the school told me
afterwards that it was one of the first
signs of feeble mindedness, one of the
first things they looked at if a child
was brought to them-to see if his
nails We're bitten Off

last Saturday night. The boys say
they live in Seattle, but refuse to give
any definite information as to whom
their people may be.
Shelley has confessed to the burglary
generating Brown in every respect.
Outside of this one fact, the stories
told by the two boys do not agree in
any particular. They came over here
about three weeks ago, and have since
been living III the shack owned by
Browns uncle, a man named Plumb.
Shelley says he worked in can fac
tory in Seattle, and Brown says his
employment has been scaling boilers.

will be made today

The girl who has not curly hair may
plat her chevelure in two plaits, and
adjust it with big bows. The bows are
large, but not nearly so voluminous as
last year The plat at the up gathers
in all the front and side hair, and is
plated in with the lower portion. This
style shows rolling pompadour at
the sides and a part in front.
Mothers should give as much care TO
the hair of their children as they do to
their frocks, and the condition of their
health Brushing, coRbing, smuggling

an acute attack Of appendicitis.
If there is dandruff, good scalp
treatment should be regularly applied
until all signs of dandruff have dlsap-
peared. Shampoos are required more
frequently for children than they are
for groWn-ups. Brushing the hair the
one hundred strokes for beautys sake
is an exploded theory. Too much

sible to treat the hair in shampoolng
so as to promote waviness by Keeping
it for a time between dryness and hu-

hair. If it is too oily the only avail
able remedy is a frequent shampoo.
Here is a recipe for curling the hair
that is quite harmless: Carrageen
moss, half ounce: eau de cologne, one
pint: extract of millefieur, one ounce;
elderfioWer water or plain distilled, one
pint. The moss is soaked over night IN
the water: heated to dissolve It, then
strained and perfumed. 1t may be
tinted with liquid earmine or tincture
of saffron. and is said to be quite Ell
ficacious. The hair should be moist

"Neti."

In the future Miss Mabel Taliaferro,
the youngest dramatic star on the
American stage, will be known simply
as Nell
In the history of theatricals there is
no record of so sudden and complete a
change in the name of player-man
or woman-who has enjoyed anything
like Miss Taliaferro's popularity and
success Because of this fact she and
her management couple with the an
nouncement of the change the reasons
for making it.
"Taliafcrro' is pronounced correctly
in two totally different ways and in
correctly in half a dozen others. The
name is so foreign and so confusing
to playgoers generally that in many
theatrical centers it is unfamiliar to
the lips of men and women of whose
every day conversation, plays and
players form a part. 1t does not sug-

Cucumber Sandwiches.

Slice fresh cucumbers rather thin
and dip in mayonaise dressing. Put be-
tween thin slices Of buttered bread.
These are better made just a few min
utes before serving.
Bread for picnic sandwiches should
be baked the day before, for warm
fresh bread can not be cut thin enough
to make nice ones. The butter should
be spread on very thin, and the filing
must not be put in so thick as to come
out on all sides when one tries to eat
it, If the sandwiches are wrapped in
damp napkin after they are made
it will preserve their freshness.

Food Value Of Buttermilk.

Buttermilk is a nutritious and whole
some food. or drink and it is relished
by a great many people. There is a
good sale for it in all towns and cities
of any size. The quality of butterlnilk
like all other foods, is determined by
the way it is prepared. To secure the
most wholesome product, keep the milk
most pure water obtainable and prac-
tice absolutely clean methods in churn-
ing. 1t must be held at a low tempera-
ture in order to have it fresh for any

Resting the Spirit In Summer.

1t is not enough merely to transport
the body to fresh fields and pastures
new for the summer vacation. The
mind also should be given rest from
home environment. The woman who
packs her trunk full Of bureau scarfs,
photogra phs sofa cushions and the like
homelike" wonders why her rave1ed
nerves do not smooth out by fall. The
summer hotel rooms may be bare and
the furnishings intoierably ugly, but
the very change is beneficial, and when
one reaches ones coZy domicile again
all the home possessions will seem to
be doubly dear from the change and
rest.
