Take a Chance.

Dear Miss Fairfax: l am a young man
80 years old. In order to make the most
OF certain business opportunities / have
hitherto denied myself the privilege of
marriage But, OF course, have contin-
ued my social activities. ] have espe-
cially cultivated the frienship of three
young ladies', whom l shall call Minerva,
Venus and Vesta. Minerva is the pro-
verb lover of the arts--cultured, refined
and with a certain strength OF beauty and
character that can not help but admire.
Venus Is a dream a perfect nympth with
her glowing, voluptuous lovable beauty.
Yesta is MISUNDERSTANDING, dainty, trust
full and home-loving. All are leaders in
their respective cliques.
Now my problem Is: am almost Ideally
established in business. and receive a
handsome income. long for home
/ am by nature OF a very affectionate
disposition, but my age and practical
experience have taught me 10 control and
direct my emotions Thus / could learn
10 love and am in position to make
happy either OF the three girls to whom
have introduced you. / believe that
either OF them would listen 70 my suit II
were to tell that / loved her, But |

their respective appeals. So. Miss Fair

400 times farther away, and since the ap-
parent, or angular. diameters of bodies
vary inversely with their distance the
sun doesn't look any bigger than the
moon.
This, however. is not enough to ac-
count for the difference between the
tidal powers Of the sun and the moon

quantities Of matter. or substance, that
they respectively contain. ana then the

The sun possesses. 25 100000 times more
mass than the moon. If it were as near
to the earth as the moon is it would ex-
ercise 25,6OOOOO' times as much tidal force
upon the ocean waters as the moon does.
But being 400 times farther away than
the moon, what is the consequence? Is
It's tidal force reduced to 1-4O0 of what
it would be if it were as near as the
moon is? No, that cannot be, for in that

LADIES' HAIRDRESsIMG IN

Ry constanee

When was in Europe this year I
found both cities so thickly dotted
with hairdressing parlors and hair
goods stores that l wondered If the
women ever had time for anything
but care Of the hair. Personally was
chiefly interested in finding a really
good shampoo and l found that they
never use makeshifts but always some
item made for shampooing only. and 1
was happily surprised when several in.
quiries each brought the suggestion that

The Smelling Pot

Forth from this great smelling pot,
Where all nations flung in,
Shall by Times strong hand be brought
Types to make the whole world kin.
Fling them fling them in,
Gold is mingled with the dross;
There shall be gain than loss;
North and south and and west,
All shall give of their best.
Destiny controls the pot;
Fling them in.
Three centuries of unmixed blood left
Our brave New England Puritans bereft
OF impulse and emoton afraid
To give those tender feeling which God made
In all his children outward sign.
They pluck lfes grapes but drink its wine;
Face boldly swords, but quail before kiss;
And miss most in not knowing what they miss.
They by honor, and they cling duty,
But veil their and turn away from beauty,
Fearing it may be Pagan. In the fine,
Fair of their women turks sign
OF human passion yet their love will stand
Defyng death If Duty command.
Into the clear, cool waters of these souls
Year after year Vesuvan rolls
Peerng beyond the futures rim.
To see the England a dream.
Old ever youthful Italy has brought
Unto shores to lure feet along
A merrer pathway, music. dance and
And she has taught
Passion to produce; a touch of fire
On lips too pale; and darkened Gas gray
With smoulderng flames that speak the hearts desire
the sharp, fine outlines with the

The subtle charm of Latin Temperament

With sterling virtues human hearts,

And devotees of beauty joy and mirth

All hail the coming stock

this adds another difficulty 10 the ques-

best results are obtained when the switch

be uncomfortable to wear and look arti-

changed TO match. We all recognise the
horror OF the old time false front, OF diff

attractive when used with bread, and in one instance exhibited better kill ing effects than formalin.
 Sweet milk without the addition of other material seems to have little if any advantage over sour milk in the point of attractiveness to flies. Combined with bread sweet milk was strikingly attractive but not so much so as were formalin or alcohol mix lures used with bread.
 Beer was found to be a very at tractive bait for flies under certain conditions. As already mentioned it combines readily with formalin but not with alcohol Fresh beer, con- trary to the common idea, was found to be far more attractive than stale beer. Bread added greatly to the at tractiveness of various liquid fly. foods and poisons.
 Wheat bran was found by the ex- periments here recorded and others to be inferior to bread as a fly bait. OVerripe or decayed banana was found to be superior to ordinary ripe banana and to both good and de- cayed oranges and apples as a fly bait EFl Commercial dried blood moistened with water was found in the experi- ments to have attractive value great CT than fresh and decomposed meat or fish. It is noteworthy that de-

attractive as equal parts of sugar and vinegar An attractive combina- tion poisonous to flies can be made with formalin and vinegar but furth CT tests are necessary to determine the best proportions.
 Formalin GAO per cenD differs greatly on different days in it's at tractiveness to flies. This variation is evidently not due directly to tenn perature conditions, and it suggests the possibility of the flies themselves differing from day to day in the de- gree of the sensitiveness of the sensory organs. F'ormalin, as is well known, makes an excellent fly poison when combined with other sub stances. The usual dilution of the commercial or 40 per cent formalin at the rate of about one part to about ten parts of water seems to be as good as at any other rate. Beer,

milk and bread, in the order named, are excellent materials to use with formalin increasing it's attractiveness many times. The addition of sugar increased the attractivenss of the formalin solution but not to a satis- factory degree.
 Commercial alcohol (95 per cent and water at the rate of one to 20 appears from the experiments to be of about equal value with formalin and water mixed at the rate of one ten, both as to attractive power and killing effects The addition of sugar to the alcohol mixture gave a more marked increase in the at tractive power than did the addition of sugar to the formalin mixture Beer and alcohol did not make an attractive mixture, while the ad dition of bread to alcohol and to alcohol mixtures increased the at tractive power even greater than did the addition of bread to formalin and to formalin mixtures.
 Bichromate of potash solutions gave practically no results either in the tests of it's attraction or of it's poisonous qualities.
 Cobalt gave variable results in the tests but appeared rather peculiarly
