SuEDerfluouS Hair
Why Not shave It off: If You Do It Right, IL Does IL Better Than
 Most DepilatorieS

You might just as we'll shave as use a pasty substance which is to be ap- piled to remove superfluous hair. This simply removes the surface hair; there- fore the effect is the same as shaving, only the razor is more convenient and takes 1t off cleaner. of course it does not matter which way you do it: you only remove the surface hair, which will return stronger after each remov- al. The same applies to other worth less compounds and so-called liquid cures" De Miracle is not like these; 1t is the only method that gives proof that it is absolutely poisonous, safe and sure. You are not asked to buy it on our BARE WORD. 1t is the only preparation of it's kind which is en- dorsed by physicians, surgeons, der natologists, medical journals. promin- cnt ma gazincs and newspapers. Re- member, the longer you use such treat nents as those referretb to above the stronger the hair will grow and the h harder 1t will be to remove 1t. De Mira : sle is sold at all good stores including Collier Drug Co.
 No honest dealer will offer you a substitute on which he makes more profit.
 We will send you a 52-page booklet containing full information concerning this remarkable treatment You should read lnls Duoh1at betJre you try any thing. Write to the De Miracle Cheni- cal Co.,.

A Puzzle Tea

Hostesses are ever on the lookout for something new to anuse their guests at afternoon parties Every one cannot af- ford an expensive entertainment. and the following simple ideas may be of service to such as these:
 There is a childish game called hands, bodies and legs in which heads are drawn on paper which is folded over. The slips are passed around, bodies and legs being drawn in their turn. and comic pie lures result when the paper is unfolded.
 For your puzzle tea collect figures Of any description from advertisements in magazines. Cut off the heads, bodies and legs, keeping these members separate from one another in different trays. Each guest is provided with cardboard box or lid in which to keep the puzzles and a sheet of foolscap paper as well. The hostess then hands round the tray or heads and each person selects one. When the heads are distributed it is explained that every one can go and search the tray that contains the bodies and try to find the correct one. A good big bowl Of paste is ready on the table, with several brushes and the first person who sue ceeds in securing a body to At rushes to the paste pot and with a dab of the brush sticks the head and body on to the fools- cap and Is then eligible to search for the legs When the carrect legs have been pasted to the picture, which is then com plete, a fresh head may be sought. and so the puzzle making aces merrily on until tea is announced. It is we'll to have large quantity of cut up figures so that the guests may not ind it too easy or bs stopped for want of materials. The pug zles are examined and the competitor who has made the greatest number of correct pictures is declared winner.
 After tea another puzzle is introduced Envelopes are distributed. and each per- son on opening 1t discovers a quantity of letters taken from the game called word making and word taking"
 These letters represent a sentence which is written on paper and put into a small sealed envelope which fits into the envelope containing the loose letters. The box lid again comes into play for shifting the letters about in the effort to find the words to form the hidden sen- tence.

New Brain Facts

Sir Victor Horsley gave an explanation of a curious habit when delivering the Cavendish lecture before the West Lon- don Medico- Chirurgical society recently
 Our habit of swinging the arms when walking-which, Sir Victor stated, is quite unnecessary-wa relic of the days when we walked on all fours. Then we had to use our arms as well as our legs. Although their use serves no pur- pose when walking upright, we still keep on moving all four limbs alternately, in progression.
 Sir Victor set forth some new facts con cerning the functions of the cerebellum. the mysterious and little understood hind part of the brain. Primarily, the eerebel- lum must be regarded, said the lecturer, as a sensory organ which has an i'm portant part in the correct performance of many of our automatic actions. Standing, walking and running are good examples of such actions, which cannot he accurately carried out without a nor nal, well-balanced cerebellum.
 Newborn animals, the lecturer con tinued, tannot stand: they sprawl and before they can stand. walk, or run they must acquire this power For the con- venience of life this ability to stand must be secured without the animal hay ing consciously to think what he is doing The fully developed eerebellum supplies this power unconscously
 In proof of this Sir Victor pointed out that the cerebelum of full grown cat showed fully developed cells and fibers whereas in the newborn kittens brain the cerebellar portion is not yet organ ized into active nerve tissues.

Oldest Horseman in the
 Country

Dad Walsh of Plymouth, Wis, has the distncton of being the oldest horse- man in the country.
 Dad" is 104 years old, Less than two years ago he drove one of his horses in a regular race. He is known by horse trainers from coast to coast, having made many trips around the racing circuits.
 In Plymouth two years ago MT. Walsh, watching one of his horses race. thought the driver was not using his best efforts 10 win. When the first heat had been finished and the horse had crossed un- der the wire in the ruck, Dad rushed out upon the track and upbraded the driver. When it came time for the sec ond heat he was in the sulky and he won the race handily, as the horse appeared to have the other racers outclassed
 MT. Walsh was born in Ireland. He came to this country 42 years ago and settled in Plymouth.
 Despite the fact that q century and more has rolled over his head. Dad IS far from a feeble and deorepit old man. While the passing years has furrowed his face and thinned his hair, perhaps, they have not dimmed his faculties.
 Tilted back in chain, swapping tales of horsefiesh and puffing his cob pipe then Dad Walsh is in his clement

 Of course while I think that compll- ment was surely intended to the fair sex in the suggestion Of men mending their own clothes, still there Is lurking sus- plcion in the mind that there is some thing of a reflection in the attitude. It is attuned from the fact that the gentle man from Chicago seems to think that

 "Oh, it's just little sentiment on his part she replied So sweetly that I wanted to shake her. He likes to have me do every blessed thing can for him. she continued proudly.
 And I was morally sure that then and there he was sitting at his club sastori- cally correct in the latest fashions, puff ing away at a good Havana and telling one of his best stories to a let of good fellows"
 Well if I were you," I declared, as she picked up the iron again and com menced her work, "Id press the creases so crooked in those pants that Jacks legs would like they'd been put up on curl papers, or done into jig saw puzzle and he'd mighty soon employ an expert ironer and let you rest from such arduous dl- ties"
 There's a happy medium to be reached in such cases-between the slavery some women are subjected to and the sugges- ton of the gentleman from Chicago, who wants the men to do their own sewing.

 "If I were Mrs. Blount (and I don't even know that there is cne) and I should happen to come upon MT.

 puted to have said. They should make
 them as happy as possible. No wife can
 be happy who has to spend her time sew ing on buttons and patching trousers.
 Every man likes for his wife to be cheer
 ful and entertaining and pleasant when
 he comes home in the evening. And if
 she has spent the day bending over 9
 needle she is not in such frame of mind when he arrives at his domicile for his evening neal.
 Now this man Blount belongs in Exhibit A. in the Catalog of Curios, and no doubt his particular type will be sought by many aspiring females, like the young l widow who declared once upon a time 1 that the next time she married she was | going to wed a man who could sew cn the sewing machine and make fudge, - and thereby prove an efficient assistant I in household affairs

Treasures of English Ca

What hidden treasures chiefly in ths way of ancient documents, still lie buried and undiscovered within the walls of our ancient cathedrals it would be difficult to estimate said a traveller recently That there are such is proved by the recent [ discoveries at Worcester cathedral, where some thousands of documents hitherto lying unnoticed in the Edgar tower of the cathedral have beer brought to light Through the influence of committee especially formed under the presidency Of the bishop these documents have been cleaned and cataloged and packed in boxes for preservation Many of these papers are of great value. bearing upon the history of the see and Illustrating re- ligious life in early times. One of the most interesting of these documents is four pages of a very early copy, sup posed to have been written under Italian influence in the south of FrancG of the rRomaunt Of the Rose 1t is surprising that all these papers wore not previously unearthed; their discovery now should prove an incentive for the possibility If similar discoveries.

The Carpenter Bee

The carpenter bee is not one whit more clever than any of her kindred, but she certainly shows a wonderful intelligence in the ways she bores Her nest out of solid wood. When the times comes for her to lay her eggs she makes a deep tunnel quite 15 inches long, taking only few days to complete her task. She then divides this curious dwelling place into 12 small cells or compartments, and lays an egg in each. not forgetting to leave beside it sufficient honey and pollen to carry it through the lava stage.

 And mingled hopes and fears; And then she found that egg had lain In storage all those years.
