COULDN'T CORNER THE QUACK
Very Evident He Was Used to Getting
Into and Squirming Out Of Elk
eeedinsly Tight Places.

A correspondent of the Lancet tells
Of a man who, when he went to a
"quack" and complained of sharp
pain in the loins after sitting on damp
grass for some hours, during which
he frequently sucked the point of. the
lead pencil with which he was writ.
ing, was told that he was suffering
from "plumbism," and given some
pills. The next day he returned to
the "quack' and said:
you told me / had 'plumbism,
which is lead poisoning and l now
find there is no lead in lead pencils,
only graphite of plumbago."
"Oh," replied the "quack," airily,
did say plumbism is the cause of
your lumbism? / meant to have said
plumbago is the cause of your lum-
bago."
oh" said the man, but anyhow,
your pills are only bread"
"Of course" replied the "quack. "
Don't you know that break is the old
est and finest thing to remove pencil
marks WITH"

DRESSING THE GIRLS HAIR
II a Pompadour Is Not Becoming
Then Part It Softly at the Side
or Middle.

BY the time little girl is a dozen
years old, it is time to tie her hair
back from the face and then braid it
loosely, or else let it hang. 1t should
be drawn back loosely and it should
be softly arranged on her head. II a
pompadour is becoming !: can be tied
with a bow on top of her head in a
pomLadour. II a part looks better it
can be parted and drawn back softly,
or rolled little over the ears. Often
the irregular side parting is more be-
coming than the formal, middle one,
and both should be tried before one is
decided on.
A good deal could be said about rib
bons. This much is certain. By the
time young girl has res ched this last
stage of childish hair dressing, dark or
plain colored ribbons are more becom-
ing. Some mothers wisely insist on
black and white ribbons-black for
wear with street clothes and dark
school frocks; white for wear with
light frocks.
The dainty, Powered ribbons are
very attractive perched jauntily above
baby faces; bright plaid ribbons look
we'll on the little school girl But the
girl of twelve or fourteen almost al
ways looks better in a black or navy
blue ribbon for every day wear, and a
white one for afternoon wear, than in
colored ones.

Sir Roharf Ball

In the death of Sir Robert Ball at
the age of seventy-three science loses
one of those rare interpreters who
bring her wonders within the compre-
hension of the multitude. Like the
late Lord Avebury (Sir John Lub-
bock), Sir Robert Ball had a faculty
for simple writing which he employ
ed in the production of such works
as The Story of the Heavens" star
land" I'm Starry Realms" and in
the High Heavens" These books prob
ably did more than any other OF the
kind to stimulate the study of astron-
omy and make it popular, The people
Of this generation owe a large debt
to Sir Robert Ball. The debt was
freely acknowledged in his own coun-
try, where he received substantial rec.
ignition from the government, from
scientific societies, from schools and
universities. 1t has been less freely
but still sufficiently acknowledged in
his country, where his books have
sold well, and where he was a most
welcome and appreciated guest on
more than one occasion.-Brooklyn

COMBINED TO DO NOTHING
Southern Statesman Tells Good Story
of Two Darkies Who Met at
Henhouse Door.

A southern representative who lives
in a small village says that one night
not long ago, hearing a noise some
where in the neighborhood of his hen
house he arose and, under cover of a
board fence, crept to the place. He
could presently make out dark form,
apparently trying to force the hen
house door. Just then another dusky
shape rounded the corner and there

A very pretty small hat of hatters'

to a means of carrying of a splendid

soft mass of ostrich which surrounds
1t. This is a hat for the visiting tot
lette, the club meeting or reception,
the afternoon tea and the carriage
ride. The model has been developed
in many colors-with the body of the

do not rub. Wash off the Cuticura
Ointment in FIVE minutes with Cuti-

bathing for some minutes. This treat
ment is best on rising and retiring.
