The Roof Gardener

DR.. A. f. Christian, a Boston ply
stefan, announces that ice cream is
the best remedy for alcoholism. At
recent luncheon, DR.. Christian, apro-
pos of this fact, told a story.
Roof gardens" he said, land roof
gardening, during the wife's absence
at the seashore. are responsible for a
good deal of midsummer alcoholism.
But, if the wife is home, she can
restrain the roof gardening tenden-
cies on her husbands part.
"Thus, a would-be roof gardener
said to his wife the other evening,
after dinner:
"Tll have to return TO the office
right away, my dear. And I'm afraid
I'll be kept rather late. I've got to
post my books for the entire month
"'Will you be going anywhere else
besides the Officer she said, calmly.
+" 'Er-no,' he replied.
"'Then,' said she. I'll just ask you
to stop in at the corner grocery be-
fore it closes and get me a couple
of nice salt mackerel You can bring
them home with you afterward.'
'Er-all right he muttered.
"Then as he set out, gloomily, his
wife said to herself with a smile:
Well, I guess he won't do much

great big wet mackerel in his peck

checkered variety Many small coll
lections of pottery were found in
caves and. springs where they had
been deposited as offerings.
In the religion of these early in
habitants the bird had an especial
significance, and is found in nearly
all their ceremonies, appearing as a
solid image in pottery and carving,
depicted on surfaces, as a fetish, but
more frequently its plumage is used
in one way or another.
Interesting finds at Bear Creek
Cave We're a number of ceremonial
cigarettes-a symbolic form of in
cense offering made of hollow reeds
stuffed with aromatic herbs-which
burned with a pleasing odor.
In a great sacred cave on Blue
River were. found bows, arrows
painted rods, baskets, miniature pot
terry, cigarettes cotton cloth. beads
painted tablets, etc. deposited in pit
shrines on the floor of the cavern.
These were objects offered to the
supernatural beings, and show the
extremely complicated character of
the ancient native worship
Much of the territory covered by
the report has never been scientih-
cally explored before, and the maps,
field notes and natural history col
lections will throw much light on the
life of the ancient peoples of this
region.

An engineer will tell you, the first
intimation a mechanic has that an
engine is not working right comes to
him through the increase of noise it
makes.
There is something that is not act
ing IN concord; two parts that should
work together are not working In uni
son, though perhaps only by frac-
ton of an inch and IL the fault be
allowed to continue the engine will
wear itself out.
Real energy, wisely directed, is usu-
ally silent energy; no strength is
wasted on fuss or ordinations, no
time is lost by nervous starts or mis-
directed effort. Each piece of work,
however, trifiing, is carefully pre-
pared for, and orderly habits save
endless waste of energy to those who
will trouble to acquire them, says the
Camden Daily Courier.
Untidy people are terrible MASTERS"
where this mysterious power is con-
cerned. If the time spent by even the
most orderly of us during the year in
looking for what ought not to have
wanted looking for were reckoned up,
how amazed and disturbed we should
be!
And it's almost always when we
have been in a mood that we mislay
our property; for once we neglect to
replace 1t at the right moment, 1t
seems to me that an imp from the
land of Nowhere comes to hide 1t in

Eugenics in Switzerland

Health certificates for brides is the
demand of the Swiss Society for Pub
lie Utility for Women, an influential
organization having branches in the
chief cities of Switzerland.
The aim of the society is to obtain
healthy wives and children in order to
better the race and also make for the
happiness of the home. 1t has hopes
that later the government will take a
hand in the agitation and require a
certificate of health from both the
bride and the bridegroom before sane
tioning a marriage. The society,
which is working quietly, is strongly
supported by the medical profession
and the university professors.

Honesty Demands No
Reward
Nc,

One bright morning a poor seam
stress sat on her doorsteps, sewing.
Along came a peddler from the fair
and offered her fair price for some
handkerchiefs. She was pleased with
them, but as she had no money she
refused to take advantage of the fair
price offered her. The peddler was
Just on the point of leaving her when,
on purpose, he dropped a handker-
chief.
The seamstress first noticed it when
the peddler was nowhere to be seen.
She picked up the handkerchief, and,
to her surprise, it was very heavy.
She put it aside and went on with
her work.
A few hours later the same man
came towards the direction of her
house. She ran down the steps to
meet him and handed him the hand
kerchief. in which there lay $40. The
man wished to reward her, but not a
cent would she take.

places where they do repairing.

Fashion Jottings

All skirts are shorter, and naturally
milady must be well shod If she
wishes to be smart.
Many street costumes are made with
long pleated tunics, and not a few
lingerie frocks are pleated all over.
Colored sashes are in vogue, and
add greatly to the charm of the sum-
mer girls white lingerie dresses. Old
rose, brick red, ciel blue, and Roman
striped material are all well liked
for girdles.
Many costumes depend entirely on
a becoming girdle for their smart
ness. I saw lovely light blue and
white striped wolfe gown, made with
a killed skirt, and bodice finished
with a rolling white batiste collar. A
wide black velvet girdle was the
caehet of the frock.
There seems no doubt now that by
autumn fitted bodices will be upon us.
Some of the most authoritative frocks
for summer wear show decided signs
of "nipping in at the waistline and
below the bust in front, and some
times this fitted effect is achieved
with old-fashioned dart-seams.
The pretty girl has lifted her face
veil now to show her mouth and
chin. Smart wells just cover the nose,
and narrow border at the end of the
veil bisects the face in a rather odd
but distinctly fashionable way. With
her cutoff VEIL tiny hat, dragged up
hair, and beauty patch" under one
eye the pretty girl of the moment is
strikingly chic and saucy, if not as
picturesque and demure as in the

curls over the ears and cheeks

To Scour a Table

Dear Margery Doom:
VIII you kindly tell me how to
scour a deal table that was var
nished at one time. the varnish
having partly worn off.
CHARLOTTE.
When securing, always scrub the
way of the grain of the wood.
Silver sand should be used with
soap and will help make the deal a
good color.
The way to set to work is to first
of all wash the table, then sprinkle
the sand over 1t and scrub--using
plenty of elbow grease-with a stiff
brush. Rinse with cold water, and
wipe dry with q perfectly clean
cloth.
Some people use lemon juice with
the sand, as 1t helps TO remove
stains.
