Life After Death.

Popular thought begins by assuming
that matter is the most certain of
all things. Spirit may be doubted
but material things are undeniably
there. This is the conviction with
which we begin, and very easily leads
US towards mechanical and material
istic thinking. The view, however, is
inverted. The only sure facts in life
are ourselves and the world of COM
mon experiences, the human world
in short. This is where we really
begin and where life itself goes on;
and all thinking whatever that we
may do must be related to these facts,
and whatever we believe must in
some be deduced from these facts.
Matter, then, as a metaphysical exist

HOW
CHOICE OF HAIRPlNS.
How to Select the Right Kind and
Show Good Taate

How to Select the Right Kind and
Show Good Taste.
Do not get into the habit of thinking
that suitable hairpin is anything
that will hold up the hair. If this no
ton were not so widespread there
would not be so many freakish look
Ing heads and cut and split hair.
Hairpins may be wrong In several
ways. They may be too ornate, which
Is poor taste, or too rough and cheap
which is ruination to the hair.
Some women will wear nothing but
tortoise shell pins In their hair. This
is undoubtedly luxury, as most haiI
is given to shedding pins at wholesale
rates. There is nothing, however, that
is SO little injurious to the hair from
the absolute smoothness of the sur.
face
When you cannot afford real shell
the next choice is good celluloid pin
This is smoother and less unsightly
than rubber and not so ugly nor sc
injurious as metal pins. The latter
should not be worn by women whose
hair is very fine or whose scalps per
spire.
Where a pin shows, as is the case
with the present style of braids, ii
possible buy real shells, though your
smaller pins are imitation. If care
fully handled, kept from extreme heat
and cold and securely inserted these
pins should last for years.
Do not overcrowd your head with
pins. Most women wear more than is
necessary. Learn to adjust a pin prop
erly, and the number may be sensibly
decreased. Overpinning breaks the
hair and may irritate sensitive scalps
Good taste in hair pins is shown by
wearing those that are inconspicuous
both in size and texture. Some women
affect huge knots on the ends of theil
pins, or they are studded with jewels
or ablaze with gold.

PRUNING GARDEN SHRUBS.
How the Process Must Be Accom-
plished to Get Best Results.

How the Process Must Be Accom-
pIished to Get Best Results.
AS ornamental trees and shrubs are
pruned to aid In the production Of
flowers and foliage, the Towering sea-
son necessarily controls the time of
pruning.
Many Of the early blooming shrubs
develop their flowers the year before,
and with these heavy pruning should
be delayed until just after their flow
ering season. Deutzia. spirea, forsy-
thia and many other popular shrubs
are Of this character. Soon after their
lowering season is over they begin
to develop buds for the next year.
Shrubs needing heavy trimming
should be pruned in early winter This
will result in larger blooms on the re-
naming buds. Such plants as the
hydrangea and the clematis, which
make their Towering buds on shoots
grown the same year, should be prur
ed heavily while dormant. as this will
give greater profusion Of shoots on
which to develop new buds.
When pruning hardy deciduous dow-
ering shrubs all dead wood should be
cut out, struggling branches either
shortened or removed, and all suckers
arising from the roots should be de-
stroyed. Where shrubs are planted
in clumps, branches that interfere with
other branches should be cut out. 1t
is a good idea to cover the wounds
with white lead or grating wax, as
If a stub is left uncovered the healing
Of the wound will be left until the stub
is rooted out and the rotting stub will
be a lodging place for bacteria and
fungus. Cut the branch off clean and
close to the main stem. avoiding any
stub, and cover the wound with graft
ing wax melted and applied hot.

Crafty M. Blanc.

Blanc, the founder of the Monte Car
10 gambling resort. was well aware
OF the desperate character Of many
of his customers. Knowing that they
included the scum and riffraff of the
world, he took precautions against
them He never carried any money
which fact he announced SO frequently
and publicly that it was known every
where along the Riviera that the mil
lionaire Blanc never had a penny on
his person. But he carried In pocket
book draft on red paper for several
hundred thousand francs, payable tc
the indorsee. He feared kidnapping as
much as robbery, and In case of alb
duction he intended to ransom himself
with this draft. But the instructions
at his Office were not to cash a red
draft with his signature unless a tel
egram was received from him ordering
it to be done.

A Iananass Custom.

In Japan the well to do have almost
always in the houses one room called

taste is catholic in Japan. and the de-
hghtful view may be a blossoming
cherry tree, a glimpse Of river, a
miniature garden or only the newly
fallen snow. In this delightful coun-
try they get up parties to visit the ma
pie trees in the glory of autumn color
or the fresh, untrodden snow, as in
this country one gives theater parties
and dinners. Mushroom hunts are a
fashionable diversion, and verse writ

which, in the estimation Of these eter-

when she is within doors.

to be almost duplicate in size and

this is too far off. SO there is little
