HERALD CARRIERS
HOW THEY STAND

At THE HANDS OF THOSE

The contest for the prizes among
The Herald carrier boys is taking
some form of interest and the boys
are working with a determination,
and if they seem little persistent
the patrons of the paper should be
patient with them and for this once
yield to the opportunities. Think
how often these lads have plodded to
your home with the paper through
snow and rain and heat without q
complaint Now it is your time to
even up this by favoring them with
lrompt settlements. What they col
lect goes to their credit in the con-
test. They may not be as prudent and
tactful in approaching you as an
adult, but they are deserving of some
consideration for their faithfulness,
and beside you are getting value re-
ceived for every cent you pay to
them.

For Forty Years a Hermit.

Isaac Sheath, who has just died in
the workhOuse at the age Of seventy
eight, lived the life Of hermit for
nearly forty years at Newport, Isle
OF Wight. He occupied a mud-hut
which he erected on a piece Of waste
land in the village OF Chale. but the
hut became so dilapidated that the
rural district council ordered its de-
struction. Sheath WAS greatly exas-
.perated by the councils interference.
and before he left for the workhouse
he burned the hut to the ground. Mice
and birds had grown so accustomed to
the old man and his lonely ways that
they used to come and feed from his
hand.-London Mail.

GHOSTS EVER BOTHER your
II So, Southern Negro Folks Gay These
Simple Precautions VIII Chase
EN-.

As a part of the folklore Of the ne
gro folks the superstitions OF slavery
days are OF great interest. The fol-
lowing are some of the negro's beliefs
about ghosts:
To feel a hot breath OF air strike
you at twilight signified the nearby
presence Of ghost. Should you wish
to avoid him, stop and turn your coat
and trousers and hat wrong side out
and the spirit cannot encounter you.
II, however, he is pugnacious
sprite and approaches despite the
change. turn and address him thus:
I'm the name of the Lord, what do you
want?" Whereupon he will tell you
his business upon earth, then depart
and never, never trouble you again.
II, on the other hand, II Is a prowllng
ghost who crawls under the house,
bumps against the floor, makes
strange sounds. and whispers in tho
midnight hours, you have only to put
In new floor and he will do so no
more.
Some ghosts are obtrusive and will
not only prowl about the house. but
creep In through the crack of the door
in the wee small hours of the night,
and, once inside. expand to vast pro.
portions. To spare yourself any dis
turbance in this way, SOW mustard
seed all about the doorstep just before
going to bed. or place a sieve on the
doorstep.
Before entering. the spirit will have
to count all the holes in the sieve or
all the mustard seeds, and by this
time daylight will come and he will
have to go. AS the counting for one
night will not do for another you are
always safe.-Southern Workman.

Soap and Ointment but without much
hope as had gone so long. There
was marked change the second day,
and so on until l was entirely cured.
The Cuticura Soap we have always
kept in our home, and We decided
after that lesson that It Is a cheap

DemIlohn Lampo.

A couple of old wicker-covered
demijohns are going to do duty this
summer in a seashore bungalow as
the bases Of lamps. One of them re-
ceived only thorough cleaning be-
fore being pressed into service, the
other was treated to a coat Of brown
enamel paint. On the light one has
been fitted a spreading wicker shade,
and on the brown one a Japanese
openwork shade lined with yellow
lowered chintz. The latter will stand
in the family sitting room, which is
done in brown and buff. and the
former will illumine the veranda from
a wicker table at the window, to
which the electric light cord can be
extended. Both demijohns, OF course,
will be weighted so that they cannot
topple over easily.

.snIraI Dress.

Despite reports to the contrary the
slender silhouette still finds favor In
the eyes of the well-dressed woman.
The spiral" dress'is the latest ar
rival; an alluring phase Of It showed
a skirt Of black satin draped with
white crepe de chine. The impression
given. was that a width Of crepe de
chine-no attempt was made to con-
ceal the selvedge-edged- with black
fringe was simply wound round the
figure. Here and there in unexpected
places glimpses of black satin were
seen-ln the vicinity Of the ankles. at
the waist line-and then one-half Of
the corsage was of black satin.
A large white picture hat embel-
lished with a superb osprey gave a
charming finish to the ensemble.

"Mua" Is over~orked Word.

The most overworked word in the
Englishman's vocabulary of slang is
Mug" AS noun It may mean a
face. fool, or student who prefers
reading to sport. AS a verb its mean
ings are still more varied. 1t may
mean to study hard, or to strike In the
face. 1t also means to rob or swindle,
and among actors to grimace or make
faces TO mug up is also, in theatrical
parlance, to make up.
Finally, to mug ones self is to get
drunk, the resulting condition being
one of mugginess. There Is more OBJ
vious sense in this last use Of the
word than In some Of the others, for
alehouses, in the eighteenth century.
were commonly known as mughouses.
Mug is the English equivalent Of the
German Zug. which Mark Twain found
to mean everything. A new sense Of
the verb mug" in the American slang
is to photograph face.

NEWEST FANCY FOR EVENING
Lizard Gown Has Become Exceeding
Iy Popular In Paris and Really
Has Much Merit.

Just as savage woman seeks to dec
ocate herself in semblance OF the
birds and the beasts In her use OF
feathers, skins and war paint, so the
Partisan woman of fashion initiates
the scales of the fish, the wings Of
the butterfly and the tail Of the lizard
in her ballroom fancies. The lizard
tail evening gown is the newest fancy,
and It bids fair to implant q graceful
style in the American drawing-room.
The first model to appear In Chica'
20 Is a vase colored messaline, with
black satin tail" tunic, and waistband
encrusted with black pearls. Black
pearl clusters are worn on the cir
cular black silk hair ornament that
goes with It. The effect is one OF
sinIcus grace, and 1t will add height
to the short and the overly plump.
The style could be carried out even
more suggestively in two shades OF
green, or of brown, or green and
bronze.
Where the gowns cling, as In the
extreme Of the seasons modes, the ef-
feet, the designers say, would be most
undignified were the scantiness
about the ankles not counterbalanced
by a mass of trailing drapery, as
there is q semblance of both mass and
color in the best gowns.-Chicago

Wolfe and Null Popular.

White wolfe has found lasting favor
with women of all ages. 1t is a mate
rial which muses. little and does not
require constant thought Of pressing.
1t has to large extent taken the
place OF less practical fabrics for sum-
mer gowns.
Null. too. is as much in evidence Is
ever and as with wolfe, can be made
into enchanting evening frocks. With
the gown cut little low In the neck,
preferably In V shape, one can drape
It with a fichu Of sheerest net edged
with valenciennes lace about two
inches wide. The fichus are some
what wider on the shoulders than In
the back or front.-HArper's BaEsr.

There are wide plaitlngs OF silk
fringed at the edges, used to cover
wide crowns also. on hats Of the more
substantial braids. Narrower frills OF
plated silk are fashioned with fuzzy
rosettes and are used with flowers as
a part of the trimming of lingerie or
silk braid hats.
For midsummer nothing is prettier
for little girls than the hat OF lace or
embroidery made on a wide frame
and trimmed with ribbon and flowers.
and no style Is prettier than the hat
with soft puffed crown and dropping
frills about the face. II reappears
each summer, varying a little in size,
but remaining the same in general out
lines and as O general thing in choice
Of colors.

Hats OF straw braid, greater num-
Der Of silk braid and many OF lace,
have been made for little misses.
They are trimmed with silk, ribbon
and flowers. Daisies are always fash
ionable for children, and are at pres
emit in high favor. Other small bios
SONS and little bouquets Of field flow
ers, such as children love, appear on
the majority of hats for little girls.
As In millinery for grown people,
more elaboration In trimming is evil
dent than in at least three preceding
seasons. The vogue of lace frills was
sure to find its way into the realm
Of children's millinery, hence the hats
with side crowns covered by rows Of
crisp lace frilling and frightened with
small sprays of blossoms peeping out
from the frills.
