How Joseph Found a Play,
mate

There are four children to the
Brewster family, Edward. Emma.
Nellie and Joseph. Edward is thir-
teen years old. Emma Is twelve, Nell
lie is eleven and Joseph is four, SO,
that doesn't give Joseph anybody to
play with.
One day, as they were sitting
around the table, joseph thought he
heard baby crying, but his brother
and sister said he was hearing
things" All of a sudden, he heard
the pitiful cry again, and this time
tried to locate 1t. He at first thought
1t was on the front stoop. He went
out, but 1t was not there. Again he
thought 1t was in the back yard.
When he went out this time, to his
surprise he found baby, all
wrapped up in blankets, lying on the
grass. He took 1t in the house, where
his mother gave it food and put 1T
in a nice warm bed.
You cannot imagine how delighted.
Joseph was when he found the baby,
and could have a playmate of his own
age. They named her Alice. 1t was
a pretty name for pretty little
girl. ARDELE EGGERE.

Vacation Clothes

For walking use a broad -toed, low
heeled shoe. Country roads are some-
times rough, wood roads always so.
and there are often stones and fur
rows in the fields. High-heeled, mar
row shoes are too apt to slip and turn,
with strained ankle and foot as a.
result The foot must spread out to
get a good grip on the ground. A
rubber-soled shoe is very good if
rocks are to be climbed, writes a con-
tributor of the Camden Daily Courier
Unless your ankles are especially
strong, high shoe is better than an
oxford, and pump must never be
worn for tramping.
Your skirt should be short, with
plenty of room for long stride,
whether by means of fulness inset or
by unbuttoning.
Also there are often fences to be
climbed, and tight skirt is not only
but ridiculous.
A thin blouse, with a sweater or
short coat, allows you 70 be cool
enough while exercising, and guards
against chill when resting.
There are few places where long
country tramps are not regular
part of the program.
Walking on dirt roads or across
country is as different from walking
on city payements as anything one
can well imagine and much less firing
to the feet and back
There is a spring and residence
which stone pavements entirely lack.
However, let me advise you, don't
take a ten mile walk the first time.
Work up to it gradually.

Paper in the Kitchen

Speaking of paper cups recalls that
one woman has successfully used pa
per dishes in her icebox and else
where for a long time. She discov-
cred the paper "snndae" cups, such
as are used by some confectioners.
She bought several dozen in various
sizes and used them invariably in
her icebox to hold olives, lettuce, a
dab of leftover and a bit Of Jelly
instead of the original dish, which
can then be washed and put into
place.
Something new and something long
wanted is the roll of shelf paper tnet
with the finished edges like the old
fashioned kind we know, which hung
over in lacy festoons), roll of firm
white paper, just the width Of the
kitchen shelf or the bureau drawer.
This saves all the bother of cutting
paper the exact size, and 1t Is only
the work of few moments to line a
bureau drawer with this clean look
ing paper or treat our pantry to a
complete new set of paper shelves

A very great mistake is the COM

nothing requires tenderer or more

Hair is most wonderfully and deli

general health of It's owner.
Who has not noticed how soon dur
ing severe attack of biliousness, in
digestion or general weakness it loses
gloss and crispiness, and seems to
waste away to half its previous ap-
parent bulk? The reason is traceable
mainly to the following facts:
Nature has provided suitable glands
round the base of each hair, to Sc
crete oily matter for the purpose of
making the hair soft and glossy and
keeping the scalp in a healthy condi-
ton. In a state of perfect health
this supply never fails, and is al
ways just sufficient for the purpose
for which II is intended But let the
health be deranged, and we generally

Adventures of Dick Harris

Dick Harris was about twelve years
old. He was of light complexion,
had blue eyes, red hair and was very
neat.
One day Mr.. Harris told Dick that
he was going to take him on a trip
around the world. Dick could hardly
believe this, but a week later his
father told him to get ready, as they
were going the next day.
AT 5 a. m. they were on board the
boat which was ready to make her
trip around the world.
Nearly five days later they were in
the harbor of Liverpool, seeing great
steamers sail in and out of the harbor.
The next day they reached Paris.
Here they saw the great national
buildings, and all the latest styles.
They reached Rome two days later.
Here they were allowed to get off
the steamer for a few days. After
taking a good view of the land, they
crossed the Mediterranean and stop
ped at Tunis. Here they were cap
tured by bands of pirates Among
those to escape was M-. Harris,
father of Dick. Mr.. Harris mourned
the loss of his son very much. 1t
was now Dicks turn to show his
bravery One night while the pirates
them without waking any of them.
1t was a dangerous task to under
take. for If he would have awakened
any of them it would have meant his
death.
He stole one of the pirates vessels
and sailed away. After a day of
hard rowing, he landed on strange
island which was inhabited by
savages. The natives welcomed him
as a god; they had never seen a
white man before. They worshipped
him and brought him food to eat and
honored him in the greatest ways.
In a week he was ready to go out
to find his way home. While out in
the ocean his boat was wrecked and
he had to swim out In the ocean.
After swimming two hours, he reach
ed a ship sailing for France and
climbed up into 1t. Two days later
he reached France.
The captain of the ship grew to be
so fond of Dick that he made him
assistant. After staying a few years
in France he grew homesick and
determined to sail home.
Six days later he arrived in Amer
lea. His parents we're glad to see
him and gave a reception in his
honor.

Green Light Detects
Impurities in Sugar

Cube sugar and ivory piano keys
are inspected under the CHASTITY
greenish rays of mercury-va -vapor
lamps with greater speed and accur-
acy than can be attained in ordin-
airy daylight Any impurity in sugar
manifests itself by changing the
white to a shade of yellow. To de-
tect impurities, plates of the crys-
talized sugar one inch thick are ex-
amined by a man looking through
them toward mercury-vapor lamp
of the kind which is a familiar ad-
junct of the galleries of postcard
photographers. When thus viewed,
according to the Electrical World, the
yellow impurities stand out clearly in
the BLUSH green light.
The color of ivory varies from the
outside to the centre of the tusk to
such an extent that manufacturers
sort the pieces into sixteen different
shades. Formerly this sorting could
be done only in bright daylight, but
with the light of the mercury-vapor
lamp grading can be done without
limitation at any hour of the twenty
four.
