ATTRACTIVE NEArNEss.

One May Have = Small Allowance,
but Good Care win Preserve Clothes.
We all have among our acquaint-
ances the girl who, without being in
the least good looking, always man
ages to look neat and well dressed.
Perhaps she has only small dress
allowance, and yet whenever you hap
pen to meet her she looks smart and
attractive, while other girls, with
twice the money at their command,
too often look shabby and dowdy.
What is the neat girls secret7
Nothing more nor less than taking
care OF her clothes; she has a place
for everything. and everything is
kept in its place; her ribbons, gloves,
handkerchiefs, wells. etc, are not all
huddled together in one drawer, neith-
er do they lie about on the tables and
chairs until they are wanted. Every
article of apparel is put away with
the most scrupulous care, first being
busted, shaken or mended, as the case
may be.
There is a great difference, too, in
the way in which girls put on their
clothes; and very often a girl dressed
in a shirtwaist and plain skirt will
look twice as neat as one clad in an
expensive gown, the reason being
simply and solely this: The one has
put her dress on anyhow. the other
has taken care that all shall be neat
and fresh.
1t is the duty Of all parents to see
that their children are taught from
their babyhood to take proper care
of their wearing apparel; for the child
who let's her clothes drop of her and
lie In a heap on the floor invariably
grows into the careless. untidy wom-
an. with whom we are SO familiar

All the pretty puffs which have
been the delight of girls who like to
dress their hair elaborately must van
ish into oblivion, for Dame Fashion
now decrees a marked change in
coiffure. Little curls are coming in
little curls across the forehead, in
the nape Of the neck, and If not IN
either of these places, they must ap-
pear in little clusters at the back
Of the head. II girl has not natural
ly curly hair this fashion is going to
give her a great deal more trouble
than the puffs have. but 1t is an agree
able change. and curls are bewitch-
ing things, giving a softness Nto the
face which is immensely becoming.

For Rubber overshoes.

Children especially lose overshoes
with alarming frequency; we older
ones are by no means exempt. After
a few exchanges OF a beautiful new
pair for two that look as If they had
never met before, unless possibly in
the workhouse, the unfortunate will
be glad to try the method recommend
ed by a former victim who is such no
longer. This is to sew loop Of black
tape in the back Of each overshoe, at
the top of the heel, and to hang them
up with the umbrella and raincoat.
The loops can be tucked inside when
the overshoes are worn. and will not
show.
Besides this, the owners name and
address should be plainly printed on
the inside of each flap, and renewed
whenever it becomes indistinct, SO
that there will be no excuse except
dishonesty for their disappearance.

seIf.pefendIna Wheat.

A Belgian agriculturist, Monsieur
lie Breton, has recently made some
experiments with barbed wheat to
determine the effectiveness of the de-
fense which its barbs afford against
the rayages Of graminiferous birds,
In the same field, near Antwerp, he
sowed some barked wheat and some
Japhet wheat, which is without barbs.
The Japhet variety grey rapidly, but
every head was despoiled by the
birds before the grain could ripen, but
the barbed variety was so well guard
cd by it's array Of miniature spears
that the, attacks of the same birds
were completely defeated. and the
grain ripened in security. At the same
time It was observed that the insec.
tvorous birds were as busy capturing
their prey among the barbed heads as
among those that possessed no natu,

There are many women who swear
by black as smart wear Of a class
apart, who are never without black
day gown or evening gown in
their wsrdrobes, who always possess
black feathers, wells. and scarfs,
touches Of black velvet or tulle, the
allure OF black fox and Persian lamb.
the quaintness of black enamel, Jet
and black pearls.
Black can be the smartest Of the
smart, the dowdiest of the dowdy;
black can be startlingly unexpected
and the most obvious wear in the
world. Umbrellas and galoshes are
blackI Black can be wickedness In
earnate, elusively and obviously;
black can be good, unendurably good;
but, above all things and beyond all
virtues, black can be ladylike.
There are women who look their
best In black for that reason; they
look gentlewomen when they wear 1t,
and not otherwise. ! am always
little bit mistrustful of the type that
looks its best when In sable array"
says a writer In the Queen. at sug-
gests an uncomfortable reason for its
not looking so nice in anything else.
mind, l am not for one moment
denying that black is enormously be-
coming-to those it becomes. do
not think black suits women who are
in the least degree inclined to lack
character of appearance, women
whom you are apt to overlook in
black, whose coloring errs on the
side Of colorlessness, who are If any
thing too thin and lacking in line
which often may be read curves-to
whom nature has been a trifle parsi-
monious perhaps, women who are
fading or who have never been any
thing but faded, boiled in soda women,
women with weak tea in their veins,
women who call their sumptuous, da-
mask rose, carnation sisters, dairy
maids, and much unkinder things
than that, women who are not of the
type that Mr.. Hewlett frankly calls
'disasterous to mankind"

Between Tonala and the Guatemala
border exists one of the greatest for
al bowers in the republic. This is
the time of year when all of the morn
ing glories and many other wild flow
ers of the tropics are beginning to
bloom, and railroad men who are ia
miliar with ali the roads of the re-
public say that the grandest sight of
all Is to be seen here. The massive
trees in the forest which line for miles
the railroad are covered to the tops
with vines and blossoms, and the tele-
graph poles and wires present a SINH
larly beautiful sight
Along the line are hundreds Of
cornfelds. and It seems that each
stalk of corn forms pole upon which
is growing a morning glory vine. This
does not in the least hinder the crop,
for the corn of the particular season
has been topped ready for harvest
Near Mepastepec, below here. there
is a lane some six kilometers in length
where the tops Of the trees on either
side Of the track almost meet, forming
a most strihngly beautiful floral arch.
These trees are all covered with vines
with the millions OF blossoms. and the
sight Is one rarely. II ever, seen IN

Food for Giants.

Archdeacon Sinclair recently ad-
dressed a working boys club in Eng
land, after watching the lads in an
exhibition Of gymnastic stunts, and
said he should like to recommend
the eating Of oatmeal as preparation
for them. 81 had four brothers" :"
said the archdeacon, "all six feet high,
and my father had fourteen brothers
and sisters ranging from six feet to
six feet eight inches-all brought up
on Scotch oatmeal porridge." This
may be a valuable suggestion for the
heads Of large families who are trying
to solve the high cost Of living prob
lem. They should know, however,
that the breakfast foods of to-day are
not the Scotch oatmeal that built
the giant Sinclair family.

The MAKING Of Automoblles.

1t appears that France, which a few
years ego led the world in the manu-
facture of automobiles, is relatively
dropping back. at least in the number
of machines produced. For instance,
in 1900 France manufactured 1O,089
automobiles, England 2,4S1, and Ger
many 2.S12. In 1906 the figures for
the same countries we're respectively

year the United States, beginning with
few hundred in 1902, leaped to the

Belgium have also made enormous
strides In the last two or three years,
the figures for those countries IN 1906

SOCIETY PLYING THE NEEDLE.
Most Feminine Of Implements Comes

Most Feminine Of Implements Comes
Into Fashion Again.
Those who are quick to observe
changes in the moods and tastes Of
society will tell you" says a writer
in the Lady's Pictorial, that the do
ing of fine needlewurk is growing
into great favor with even the most
fashionable Of our mondaines, whose
own fingers are producing work that
is fully equal to the best specimens of
their much lauded and perhaps over
lauded grandmothers.
"a lady who has had the honor to
be the instructress of royalty in this
craft says that hundreds come to her
for counsel where tens came but a
few years ago. The cause Of this re-
version to the pursuits Of more
placid age is not difficult to discover.
Such an occupation becomes virtually
a rest cure in this epoch of rush and
motor cars. and that Is why many OF
those who have been the most inde-
fatigable seekers after novelty and
excitement are now among the most
industrious Penelopes of society.
The rhythmic movement that &C
companies the plying of the needle is
peculiarly soothing to the nerves, and
produces much the same effect as the
prayers Of the orientals, with their
swayings to and fro and their appar-
entity vain repetitions. It is a mistake
to suppose that needlework is injuri-

Studies of the violent earthquake
which occurred In the Balkan PENN
sula April 4, 1904, made by DR.. Emilio
Oddone, professor in the University
of Pavia. show that the shocks were
transmitted through the entire body Of
the earth, and we're reflected from the
antipOdes back to their place OF ori.
gin in about s3 minutes. Comparing
the records Of other great earth
quakes, Doctor Oddone concludes that
the average time required for a vibra-
ton to traverse the globe and return
by reflection Is from S2 to 33 minutes.
The earth thus appears to be not al
together unlike great bell suspended
in space and vibrating throughout its
whole mass under strokes, which,
con paratively speaking. are no more
than the tapping Of a fnger-nail. Doc
tor Oddone calls attention to the in
teresting coincidence between the
time taken for vibration to traverse
the globe and that required for light
to cross the diameter Of the aagthiS
orbit

The cheapening of the price OF
sterling silver articles within a gen.
Grafton past, says a writer in the
Journal Of the Franklin Institute. has
been due partly to the invention OF
methods of rolling silver into sheets,
from which the articles are stamped
out by manufacturers, instead Of be-
ing laboriousiy hammered out from
rods OF silver which are the old pro
cess. Nearly all manufacturers OF
sterling silver articles purchase the
silver sheets from mills that make a
speciality Of rolling them. Sterling
silver contains 975 parts Of pure sill

ducts. Of which it has for several
years maintained an interesting ex-
hIbition in the rooms Of the Chamber
of Commerce at Oakland. its chief

who according to St Nicholas, has a
process by which he is able to pre-
serve them for a long time without
losing their form OF color.
One Of the exhibits is what Is
known as the Mckinley lily. A large
lily was placed in a glass jar with
the preserving fluid, and after several
weeks It's petals began TO droop lit

of the United States, William McKin-

been called the Mckinley lily. Every

ence In Its present state as long as pos
sible, as It has proved a great attrac-
ton and object Of interest to visitors.

To Reduoa the Hlns.

Lie extended on the floor, support
ing ones self by one hand, while the
other is placed upon the hip. While
holding the position, raise the body
gradually from the floor until the
whole weight is supported by the hand
and feet. 1t is comparatively easy to
get the body from the floor as far as
the knees, but to bring 1t up to the
fun extent Just described is not easy
at first. 1t should be tried first on
one side and then on the other.

members on the ends. AS win be
seen, the method of manipulation is
simple in the extreme. If the electric
light cord is too long all that needs
to be done is to take up whatever
slack there is over the desired
length. and clip on the grip at either
side of the slack. Even a child
could regulate the length Of the cord
by this type of take-up. It is under
stood, of course, that the use of this
device refers most particularly to
pendant electric lights, hanging over
desks OF tables, the height of which
the user may wish to change from
time to Washington Star.

A decided Improvement over the
old style form of slack take-up for
electric light cords is that designed
by a Massachusetts, man. The pri-
mary advantage of the new type Of
grip is that 1t can be attached at any
time and by any person. whereas the
old style take-up needed to be at

Prnnresa Of Cement.

A few years ago America imported
more Portland cement than 1t manu-
factured. Now the tables have been
turned, and this country has taken
the front rank in the production OF
cement and its use in construction. It
has been estimated that the quantity
Of Portland cement used in this coun-
