60 Of an Emprees, eeauty.

The German Empress is said BY ar.
lists to possess the finest shoulders
Of any woman in Europe. She gives
the credit to a soap manufactured ex-
clusively for her. This soap has
deIiciously refreshing odor, and the
empress believes it is beneficial to the
muscles while acting as a tonic to the
cutiele Of the face and neck. The en-
press uses peppermint as a dentrifce.
New mOwn nay is her favorits hand
kerchief perfume, and once a day her
rooms are sprayed with cologne. The
empress powders her hair freely, as
she naturally is not pleased by the
promise Of being prematureIy gray.
The chances are she would submit
her hair to the peroxide bath, but the
emperor will not permit It. Dyed hair
is one Of his pet aversiOns, although
curiously enough he does not object
to powder.

DOG EATS BIBLES
Ted Relisi1es a Literary Diet
but is Quite Religious
About Ii.

You may talk about precocious
dogs and trained dogs and educated
dogs, but there IS one in clarksburg
50 religiously inclined that he eats
Bibles. And this remarkable animal
is discriminating in his selection Of
literary diet for he refuses to eat any
other kind OF books.
The dog is Ted, an English bull
owned by H. H. Blazer, chief clerk
in the local Offices of the Hope Nat
ural Gas Company. Ted has already
eaten the most Of Mrs. Blazers
Bible and has made good headway
on his masters The dog has thus
far eaten the book of Genesis, Exc
dus and Levitlcus in this Bible. All
efforts to induce him to eat other
books or printed papers are futile.
