Many nervous, irritable, dissatis-
fed, unhappy women would become
calm and contented If they would
store, give or throw away half Of their
belongings. Some have abandoned
elegant residences and taken their
families into hotels or boarding
houses, who could have continued to
keep up their homes if, instead of CIV
ing up the houses themselves, they
had done away with the super1uous
furnishings.
Some one often the mistress her
self, must clean and care for every
article Of furnishing, no matter how
humble it's use or how ornamental its
function, and this round Of duties
proves many times to be a grieyous
burden on delicate shoulders.
There is such a thing possible as
having too many utensils and tools to
work with, SO that taking out, re-
placing, and keeping them clean and
in order, adds to the daily labor;
too much furniture in a room, so that
walking through it seems a perilous
attempt to steer a course without dis
aster, too many garments to wear, for
time is consumed in caring for them,
and ever in choosing what to put on"

THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, emove crusts, scales and dan
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty Of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment Is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura Oint-
ment into the parting with a bit Of
soft flannel held over the end of the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura Oint-
ment or the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. 1t is we'll to place a light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.

parent, but in winter or spring the
signs of people, habitations, domestic
animals, cultivation, wherever the eye
rests, are striking beyond all else in
the Egyptian landscape. In the winter
there are crops to be sown, watered
and tended, and by early spring the
first of these crops are ready for har-
vest.
Great golden masses of corn are al
ready to be seen near Luxor, and bar
ley already bearded even near Cairo;
tomatoes are fit for gathering, great
p~urple-black aubergines ripe for pluck
ing, opium peoples in flower, field after
field of them of all colors; and, above
all, there are onions everywhere, acres
of onions, lucerne and grain.
The winter is not past, indeed, be-
fore the fellah is planting in the un-
covered stretches of rich black Nile
mud and in sandy spits where the
larger wild birds ~congregate the seeds
of the watermelons, which in summer
are almost the staff of his life. To see
those watermelon plants from day to
day used to remind us of an old
nursery rhyme, three lines of which
ran thus:
And with gardener man,
And the watering can,
Says, Gracious! how fast he grows!''
For they grow almost visibly, fostered
by the hot sunshine and .nourished by
the fat Nile mud.
1t is doubles this c~easeless life and
activity of the Nile and not merely the
sense of vast limitless space, the
boundless horizon, nor the atmospheric
effects changing with the time of day,
which prevent the Egyptian scene
from ver wearying or becoming mo-
notonous. l do not think l speak for
myself alone when I say that l have
spent day after day in the bows of a
Nile steamer doing nothing whatever

By Christmas the narcissus and the

possess anything approaching to the

came to a clock tower, and paused and
looked up at the illuminated dial to
see the time. AS he did SO, the clock
began to strike. One-two-three-

the strokes carefully, and when, at
last, twelve sounded, he said, as he
prepared to stagger on again:

Amid loud laughter Mr.. Henry sat
down, and the pompous man made a

There is DO yoke in back or front,
but the cloth is SO cut that it will
hang loosely and broadly from Shout

betting of blue cloth, which is some
what below the normal waist line.
There is a straight turnover collar of

If you are planning to take a pleas
ure or business trip during the sum-
mer, try getting pillow and KNAPP
sack" ready now. Cravenetted ma
terial is a good choice for the pillow,
as it is impervious to occasional wet
tings, and can be laundered. Or the
pillow may have an extra V of
smooth linen or silk, to be slipped
over and fastened securely with but
tons or snap fasteners. This should
be about half a yard square, with
strong straps at the upper corners by
which to hang it over the chair top,
preventing it from slipping down. The
knapsack is just a fit bag, with a
stout strap to hold or hang it by, and
can be made to sling over the shoul-
der, if desired. 1t should have a few
small pockets on the inside and a flap
to fasten down. In this n a carry
small accessories, a book, or other
articles, which a traveller always finds
a use for.

ALARM BOX LOCATES FIRE
New Signal System Flashes Message
to All Parts of the
Building.

A fire alarm box which indicates the
floor on which the fire is located, and
also in what part, designed particular
ly for factory buildings in which a
large number of women are employed,
has been brought out by a Brooklyn
inventor.
Boxes are placed on each floor. In
case of fire, the alarm is sounded by
pushing the button indicating the part
of the floor where it has started. If
the fire is at the east end, for in
stance, the button marked least" is
pushed. This sets off an alarm bell
on all the boxes in the building and
Eliminates a number and letter to in
dictate the fires position. If, for ex-
ample, the fire is near the center of
the third floor, &c" will be illumi-
mated on every box. This tells every
person in the building the location
of the fire and enables them to deter

FURNISHINGS OF WHITE
IDEAL BEDROOM MUST HAVE NO
TOUCH OF COLOR.
Not at All Hard to Acquire, and II
Must Be Acknowledged That the
Effect Is Infinitely
Pleasing.

All-white bedrooms are a craze
among young girls. Fortunately they
are easily acquired provided one has
a room, some fresh calcimine for the
walls and ceiling, and a sufficiency o.
white paint with which to enamel the
floor and the furniture. If the room
has already been papered, every shred
of the decoration must be scraped of
and the walls clearly washed before
the calcimining is applied, as other
wise their surface, when dried, will
not be of virgin wilderness. The idea
of an all-white floor may at first seem
an absurdity, but it will keep clean as
long as a dark surface if white rag
rugs are placed before each window,
door and piece Of important furniture
and, as every housekeeper knows, to
wash a small rug is an easy matter.
Having given each piece of furni
ture a double coat Of white enamel
paint, make the counterpane, the val.
ance and the hollow pillow roll of the
bed of muslin embroidery, using the
all-over for the spread and the roll
cover and the half-yard deep f1ouncing
for the valance and the long ends of
the pillow holder. The top of the dress
ing table, if of glass, should fit over an
eQual-sized mat of all-over muslin en-
broidery, but If the table is wholly of
wood, its spread should be of the all
over banded with St. Gall galloon and
fnfchnd of noOh Ond with foninnh ndo
ing. When this table has the regula,
ton three-leaf mirror, it's ends only
need be lined with white cambria
yelled with ~all-over, but if there is a
single-leaf, detached mirror, it must
be hung against a dorsal of >cambric-
lined lingerie, edged at top and sides
with St. Gall. If possible, keep the
chiffonier in the clothes press, as at
best it is an ugly piece of furniture,
but if it must be given bedroom space,
cover its top with a scarf matching
that on the toilet table, and veil its
sides and front with curtains of st.
Gall suspended from slender white
rods screwed against the tops edges,
and be resigned to the nuisance of
pushing the draperies aside whenever
1t is necessary to open a drawer.
Drape the windows from top edge to
stills with slightly gathered widths of
the all-over finished at both ends with
eight-inch edging and use similar ma
terials for the shades of the lamp and
conces which are cheap in white
china.
Nothing in picture and photograph
frames is daintier than those in all
white muslin embroidery basted over
strips of heavy white cardboard and
easily taken off and washed when
kust-soiled.

FIXING OF TANNING ISLANDS"
Father Emmanuel Rougier, Known by
the Above Title, Said to Be
Worth 100000.

Father Emmanuel Rougier, known
in the South Pacific as king of the
Tanning islands," was among the pas
sengers on a liner from Honolulu.
The islands Of Christmas and Fan
ming were sold recently by Father
Rougier to a British syndicate for
$500, 900.
Il am still interest in Christmas
and Tanning islands, which 1 sold to
a British syndicate. They are now
being developed for copra on a large
scale" Father Rougier is the owner
of other coral dots in the far south
seas, which are rich in copra and
p~hosphates and which he appears to
dispose of as a real estate dealer
might a corner lot.
Father Rougier went to the south
Pacific islands as a missionary a quar-
ter Of a century ago. His life's his
tory among the natives has been one
of adventure and evangelical work
among the wild tribes.
Father Rougier, who is said to be
worth more than one million dollars,
is known all through the south Pa.
ciic and the antipodes, where he &C.
casionally pops up after a quiet SO
journ in Europe.
The romance Of the south seas
clings to him wherever he goes, and
although he makes frequent trips to
the outside world, he always returns
to the isle dotted waters of the trop-
les.
1t is said that Father Rougier knows
more about the strange islands that
iut above the bosom Of the Pacific
south Of Honolulu than any other
white man who has been in the wa.
tiers. He knows their location and
has visited the majority of them. Fa
