New Magic Lantern.

The newest thing in magic lanterns which truly seem magic, is one which produces the pictures on postcards or photographs on a white screen or sheet
 It Is made with a lamp whose light shines directly on the picture to be repro duced, and by means of lenses reflects the picture, magnlfying it greatly. This should afford an immense amount Of pleasure to children and grown-ups.
 With this invention any child can show to friends a large and varied collection of pictures. Cards collected while travel ing, while on a summer vacation, or those sent by friends abroad will be reproduced exactly as they are printed, in black, white and colors.
 One enterprising by who has a eollec- tion of European views expects to give lectures, charging a small admission. He has read hooks of travel and is able to tell in an interesting way about the pictures on the cards.

Servants in France.

In England the proportion of men to women Indoor servants Is as one to three or four; in France the reverse is the case, parlor maids being unknown, the one femme de chambre being ladys maid as well as housemaid. The housework- sweeping, dusting etc.-mainly falls upon the men servants.
 One element entailing much extra work for servants in England is absent in a French house. This is the staving guest. the succession of visitors. Outside private hotels and in the handsome flats of fash ionable quarters there is, indeed, no room in Parisian households for friends. The words "dine and sleep" or week end' visits have not found their way into French dictionaries, nor have dine and sleep or week end guests yet become French institutions.
 It is easy thus to understand why three or four servants suffice in France. while in England a dozen would be needed for people of similar means and position, and where three or four maids are kept in England only general servant is kept in | France.

Brides Who Can't Cook.

A girl who deliberately marries with out understanding the art of cooking is committing a-well, the law Of the iand doesn't call 1t crime. but the unwritten law of the home certainly does constitute it crime.
 Especially is this true of those in modest circumstances who cannot em- ploy efficient cooks. Burnt fingers, sour bread. scorched roasts, leathery steaks -wishy-washy coffee and disordered stom- achs are not conductive to the happi- ness that one imagines the honey- moon should be filled with.
 Good cooking is the basis Of happiness health and success in the home life. One may thoroughly understand art. music architecture. science and philosophy, be familiar with astronomy. mythology, the mysteries of evolution, politics and lter- ature yet if the chemistry of loaf or bread has been neglected, the education is sadly incomplete. so far as the house mother" is concerned.

SIMPLE MIXTURE STOPS
 ITCHING SCALP

Most all men and women are troubled and annoyed with an itching scalp. This is caused by an unh ealthy condition of the roots of the hair. Dandruff forms, and the dandruff germs set up an irri- tation that causes an itching sensation. This can be very easily overcome by a simple mixture you can prepare your self. Get from your druggist half a pint of alcohol and one ounce of Beta Quinol, mix the alcohol with half a pint of water (warm water preferred) Then add the Beta-Quinol. Apply this every morning for a few days, rubbing well into the roots of the hair. This simple mixture will positively stop the itching. The Beta-Quinol will kill the dandruff germs, clean the scalp, strengthen and put new life into the hair. stopping it from falling out and leaving 1t in light and fluffy condi- tion. Any good druggist will sell you the Beta-Quinol and alcohol and you can mix them at home.

Queer Definitions.


 "Baileys Universal Etymological Die tionary," with the subtitle. An Inter- preter of Hard Words" was first pub hshed in London in 1721. Most of it's definitions are eccentric, and some of them incredibly so. Here are specimens plucked at random:
 Man-A creature endowed with reason. Thunder-A noise known by persons not deaf.
 Lightning-A meteor.
 A Rainbow-A meteor of divers colors. Weapon Salve-A sort of ointment which Is said to cure a wound by being applied to the sword or other weapon that made the wound
 Balloon-A football; also a great ball with which noblemen and princes use to play
 Cow-A beast we'll known.
 Mik-A food well known.
 Peacock-A fine bird.
 Elephant-The biggest, strongest and most intelligent of all four-footed beasts. Medlar-A fruit which is grateful to the stomach, but is not ripe till it be rotten. Snow-A meteor well known in mortimer ly and southerly climates, especially be- yond the tropics.
 Mouth-Part of the body of a living creature.
 Eye-An instrument of death.

Sleeves cannot grow any smaller. Every coat one sees is drectoirs.
 
 Wings on chapeaux are larger than ever. Long lines characterize every garment
 
 The big pillow muffs supersede all oth- ~ers.
 Tn belts. elastic ones are the most pop sular.
 The parted coiffure is more stylish than it has been for years. The one piece frock takes the lead of all other fashions.
 The neck outline on bodices Is likely to grow higher.
 Padded pipings with soutache braid ara leading trimmings now seen. The seal skin coat and turban are the denier cri of modishes in fur. Heavy jeweled embroidery on silk hose is the latest novelty.
 Jet has a renewed popularity that is nothing short of a fad. Black fox fur combined with velvet is one of the seasons prettiest combina- tions.
 The simplest of petticoats is considered the best of taste by eegantes. Excessive flatness is the marked charac- teristic of the new turban. The newest skirts are very plain while the corsage decoration is quite ornate. Cross-barred linen kerchiefs with col ored borders. come in many pretty styles and are very much used. Very few plumes are seen on the new spring models of hats, and when used are of the willow variety.

SPIRIT DICTATED TO sARDou.
French Dramatist Wrote and Drew Pictures While "Under Control"

Before he made his reputation by writ ing plays Victorien Sardou. the French dramatist. who was deeply interested in spiritualism, had a remarkable experi- ence in taking dictaton. He had been interested in occult phenomena, and, by chance, he came into communication with a spirit personality who signed himself Bernard Palissy" M. Sardou. who re- gently passed into the larger life. has told the story of his experiments in an article entitled, "Only the Blindly Ignorant Scoff," in the February Delineator. He says:

The Languid Woman.

The American woman is the most alert of her sex, but she Is now learning to be languid. Not because her doctor has ad- vised her to be so, or for reasons of grace; the languid attitude has come about through the fashions.
 Her skirts are too narrow, her pull backs too tight, her hats too big and her ooiffure too artificial for her to be active. She must go quietly, move slowly, or she will stumble.
 The result is that she is exceedingly graceful It is becoming to her to be re- poseful. She looks more ladylike than she did when she went through social life with a hop, skip and jump.

Rag Carpet Rugs.

There Is quite a revival these days of old-fashioned rag rugs. The carpet made of strips of cloth has been in use for some time even in smart houses built in the country. This kind of carpet is not especially fit for city houses
 So wide was the demand that hand-run looms were put up all over the country and farmers wives made many an extra penny by turning out satisfactory work
 Now the rag rug has come into Its own again. The favorite ones are little mat rugs that are so widely used as dots all over a room. These are put before the bureau, in front of the cheval glass at side of the bed, in front of the bath tub. and under chairs.
 They are made in artistic designs and colorings and are quite within the purse of the woman of small means.
