THE TEA DRINKERS.

The chronic tea drinkers of ahis country are generally the kitchen girls and women who remain in the kitchen and in the house a great deal. The teapot is constantly on the stove and the strong stale brew full of tannic acid and bitter extrac- tives is poured into the stomach at frequent intervals. Here we get not only the stimulation of the caf- fein, but the irritation of the tannin derivatives on the stomach mucous membrane. The sooner or later re- suit is sleeplessness, and irritable fretty disposition, nervous dyspepsia, or even gastritis, and constipation. Of course, the treatment is to stop the cause, treat the insomnia, dvs- pepsia and constipation. and give fresh air. Tea tasters show earlier than other individuals decay of the teeth. Children up to 15 years should not drink coffee or tea regu- larly.-Journal of the American Medical Association.

GLASS BOTTOMS FOR SHIPS
Scheme That, IL 10 Asserted, VIII h. crease the Speed and Gave Coal
 Consumption.

If ships bottoms were covered with glass, it is asserted, greater speed and saving in coal consump- tion would be attained. The idea has been tried, but hitherto it has al- ways been found impracticable to at- tach glass to the steel plates of a ship, as the expansion of the steel broke the glass after a very slight rise in temperature.
 After many experiments a compo- sition of rosin and linseed oil was adopted as the adhesive material and the difficulty of the expansion of the steel was overcome by the introduce ton of thin layer of wood pulp un-

HOW TO THINK YOUNG.

Yon can help to keep off sagging cheeks if you will only "think young" Never allow the cheek mus eles to droop for a single instant. Pleasant thoughts help the muscles as well as the mind At night mas sage the relaxed muscles back into place with good ointment. Sleep on your back without pillow at night, and if this does not do, tie up the chin in a chin belt. It will hold up the relaxed muscles until your cheeks return to frmer con- tour. You can get one by sending to any good beauty shop. Woman's World.

ICE IN PERSIA.

The fact that ice is plentiful and cheap makes living in Persia more pleasant than it would otherwise be, and the fact that fl can be obtained at all is indicative of the ingenuity of the people of the country. The ground is so porous that water per- colates through quickly. There are therefore few rivers or lakes from which ice can be obtained, and it is seldom so cold in any part of Persia that ice of thickness suitable for packing would form under the direct

FIGHTING FOR WIFE AT 90
Aged Turkoman, Taken Prisoner by kurds, Was Grained by Woman
 He Had Captured.

Describing feature of fight be- tween Turkomans and Kurds in Per sia, a traveller says; "The Turko- mans, who always fight on foot, were ultimately defeated with heavy loss, and many prisoners were aken and still more captives were released. Among the Turkoman prisoners was an old man of ninety, who said that he had joined the expedition in order to secure new wife The damsel in question came up during the in- terrogatory and brained her captor with stone During these raids, past and present, the Turkoman ap- peared to have enjoyed great and permanent advantage, in that nei- ther Kurd nor Persian ever carried of their women, owing to their ugli- ness. The Turkoman, on the other hand, preferred Persian to their own women, and thus had a keen incen- tive, apart from the purely commer- cial aspect, to engage in these forays, in which no mefcy was ever shown to the aged or weary"

A yellow haired child could be
dressed to represent Easter. Over
her little short full skirt of white

effect, made up of numerous yellow
ribbons with the yellow chicks at the
ends. These should hang from a belt

these tiny chickens on the hair and
one perching on the toes of the little

EASTER A HAPPY TIME

While their mothers are wrinkling
their pretty brows over the question
of a hat for Sunday and the POSSIBLE
ity Of having the new suit home from
the tailors in time for the Easter pa
rade. the children are worrying their
little heads about something far more
more serious-the question of Easter
eggs. In the small wee hours of the
morning. the little tots will patter
forth to hunt for the egg hidden by
the proverbial rabbit. There will be
nests of candy ones, miniature color
ed disks and larger chocolate confec-
tons. and many of the hard boiled
family. colored in every hue like JOS
ephs coat. Easter is second only to
Christmas in the delight it brings to
the wee tots. There are number of
pretty. fussy little chicks which will
also delight the children. The hens
sitting in tiny nests were seen in the
shop windows. Bunnies with carrots
in thier mouths, and chanticler in all
the glory of his fine raiment and BRAY
est tall feathers.
