It is Understood that Steps

A fire believed to have been of

The fire started at / O'Clock this morn
Ping and burned until noon today.
The damage will amount to about
$4,000 with about $40 insurance.
1t is great calamity TO that town,
as the plant was one Of the few en-
terprises located there. The plant is
situated about miles from the Nor
fox and Western depot on We
Creek. TAe whole town was aroused
by the fire alarm, but the people
We're powerless to renGer any assis-
tance No water connection could
be had and the spectators stood
around and watched the plant go up
in smoke.
About fifteen sheds packed with
dry lumber were also destroyed. TIE
fact that there was no wind blowing
saved a large quantity of lumber
stored about hundred yards from
the plant.
1t is understood an investigation
Will be made to ascertain how the
fire originated The officials of the
company are of the opinion that some
one set the place on fire. When in
terviewed today by telephone H. w.
Hale of Narrows stated the firm did
not have any enemies, and had not
discharged any OF its employees late
ly, who might have sought revenge
by setting fire to the plant. 1t is
thought likely the firm will place de-

running down the fire bug.

Eyebrow Massage.

Women are beginning to realize the i'm
portance of identifying their eyebrows
and understand now that to manicure the
nails and massage the face for youthful
ness avail little if such important features
as brows are neglected.
Massaging the brows and applying ton
les must be in the daily routine of most
women, and those to whom nature has
given pretty shaped brows must take care
of them.
In care of the brows there must be a
special brush. One with bristes no sitter
than those used on young baby's head
is the kind. When the broWs are luXuri-
ant and sufficiently dark in color, it be-
hooves a woman to keep them SO. Morn
ing and night she should put. drop of
sweet almond oil or glycerih on her
finger tip and rub the finger over one
brow. repeating the application for the
other. Then she should stroke them for
two or three minutes with the brush
This treatment nourishes the hair folli-
cles, just as the scalp is toned by similar
applications, and brushing of course acts
as it would on hair on the head 1t may
be worth while to state that without this
treatment brows which are black and
pretty may be gray and wiry at the age
of fifty.
/ know one girl who improved her eye
brows by using a paste made from the
yolk of eggs and sulphur, to which she
added a few drops of sweet almond oil.
This paste she made from a teaSpoOnful
of the raw yolk and into which she put
powdered sulphur, about as much as a
small pea. A teaspoonful of sweet almond
OIL stirred in drop to drop made the
paste thin, and this she spread on her
brows every night The paste must be
kept in the refrigerator when not in use,
for the keeping properties of egg are
delicate. In the morning the girl mas
saged her eyebrows with almond oil, the
rubbing consisting Of stroking the hair
over and over again with an oily finger.
The strokes We're made the same way,
that in which the hair should grow. This
oil was finally wiped off.
When brows are so long they are I'M
ruly it is not wise to clip them, for by
cutting the hairs develop the quality of
bristles. At night they should be pasted
to the head with gum arabic or bando-
line. Such a sticky paste can be made
from two tablespoonfuls of ounce seed
gently simmered in a pint of water for
three-quarters of an hour. When cold
the liquid will be sticky. This mixture
should be strained while hot. 1t is
stroked on the brows while the unruly
hairs held in the line they should
stay in Gntil dry. A few weeks of such
treatment viii make the face more at
tractive and the brows will not grow
bushy.

Perspiring Hands.

Hands are less likely to perspire in
summer If the gloves worn are a little
larger than those usually selected. The
advantage of large gloves is that the ex-
ira size permits of slight entrance of air.
which dries the moisture as it exudes
Porous leather, such as chamois and
suede. are cooler than dog skin and
dressed kid, because air cannot easily
penetrate the latter.
l go sosfar as to say that were large
gloves worn constantly perspiring hands
would be unknown. save where physical
weakness takes this form There can be
no difficulty in discovering whether or
not the moisture denotes lowered con-
dition of the system, for when it does
hands perspire excessively under all con-
ditions, with gloves or without them
When this happens some good tonic
should be taken internally, and an ex-
ternal application that may stimulate the
palms to better condition is made from
two ounces OF cologne and a quarter of
an ounce of tincture of belladonna.= This
is put on several times a day, rubbing
1t into the pores.
Before putting on gloves the hands must
be powdered with a mixture of one dram
ea7h of boracic acid and oxide of zinc,
two dsans of iycopodium powder. one
half ounce of starch and d quarter of an
ounce of powdered Orris. These are all
blended by forcing them through coarse
muslin.
The object of all external trea tment is
to shrink the pores SO they will not give
off moisture in large quantities, and fire.
quent wiping with spirits of camphor
through the day will aid in this process.
Another excellent shrinking tonic is made
from one dram of turpentine in which a
dram of isinglass is softened. When the
mixture can be worked it is blended with
two drains of oxide of zinc ointment, and
this is rubbed into the palms several
times day. busting the flesh afterward
with the powder, formula for which Is
given above.
Powdering thickly before putting on
gloves will always aid in absorbing per-
spiration that may otherwise injure the
kid, but best are those liquids which act
by closing the pores.
One that is frequently recommended Is
made from three ounces of rose water
one ounce of elder flower water, one
quarter Of an ounce of simple tincture
of benzoln and five grains of fannie acid.
This may also be used on the face when
the latter is. inclined to abnormal per-
spiration. MARGARET MIXTER.

Mourning Clothes.

A daughter-in-law need not put on
crepe at the death of a member of her
husbands family, for etiquette demands
Of her shorter time of observance of
the bereavement and more latitude in
matters social.
She is supposed to wear black for six
months. but after the end of three she
may accept invitations, except to large
formal functions. She is not permitted to
go to dances. however small, but dinners
luncheons, bridge parties, the theater and
opera are amusements she can enjoy. AS
she is not supposed to so without her
husband, he of necessity goes with her,
and his mourning is denoted by black
clothes only. A man in mourning for a
parent, sister child should use white
gloves in the evening when wearing his
dress clothes. but in the daytime his
gloves should be black
A wOman's mourning garments for an
'in-law" parent or child may be pure
white for the house, dUll finished mate
rails being selected. Any trimming used
must be Of white English crepe.
AT the end of six months a woman
wearing black for member of her hus-
bands family may go into black and
white and the light colors of second
and gray, Strictly speaking, she is not
supposed to wear white lace. but there is
so much latitude in this direction that
lace for summer frocks is permitted.
A man is not expected to go into black
on the death of member of his wife's
family He does wear a mourning band
on the left arm, but this emblem may be
discarded at the end of six months. While
wearing the band he is supposed to limit
himself to black ties and black shoes, but
custom permits him wearing tan shoes In
warm weather, and If his ties are dull
gray and other inconspicuous colors he
will not be criticised. If he prefers out
of courtesy to his wife, to go into mourn
ing, his clothes should be black, and
shirts for daytime black and white. At
the end of six months he may leave off
black, adopting the left-arm band for the
remainder of the year
