Dean Swift Dies AGAIN,

In the process of expansion press
kilograms often undergo wonder
full transformation, says Chambers
Journal. Some years ago the first
three horses in the Lincoln handi-
cap were Oh, Dean Swift and Rose
ate Dawn. A press agency in Lon
don wired the result to an Aus
tralian paper as follows: Lincoln
Oh Dean Swift Roseate Dawn" The
subeditor who was in charge had
never heard of the Lincoln handi-
cap, and for some time puzzled
vainly over the mysterious message.
Finally he came to the conclusion
that sob" must stand for obit, the
Latin word expressing death no.
tice. He accordingly turned out the
following paragraph, which duly APP
peared in print: eve deeply regret
to announce the death at Lincoln Of
the celebrated Dean Swift, the au-
thor of that favorite hymn, THE
.Roseate Hues Of Early Dawn.

Confessed Their Poverty.

Among all the relics that changed
ownership in Browning sale in
Lcudon the only things that could
bear the name Of jewelry were the
husbands, not the wife's-a ring
o. two, sleeve links, studs and such
trihes. Mrs. Browning probably
never owned a jewel-a little cheap
gold brooch, but nothing more. She
did not live to share her husband
better prosperity, and her own ha5-
its as maid and wife were frugal. A
passage in the letters records the
misgivings of the lovers, each OF
whom supposed the other to be ac-
customed to some degree of luxury.
At last Browning had the courage
to tell Elizabeth that he was ex-
tremely poor, and she, delighted,
told him that the whole dress she
was wearing cost something very
small in shillings.

kimono Rival.

A rival to the kimono. which is so
convenient and which has so long held
sway among dressing gowns, has been
found in the seamless djibah, so well
beloved by women artists, Quite as
artistic as the kimono, the new gown,
which is a kind of cover-all, is per-
haps more convenient, and rs a sub
stitute for a morning or breakfast
gown it leaves nothing to be desired.
A red shade of chocolate brown Is
chosen in a soft wooden stuff and Is
ornamentcd by a printed bold design
In black at the hem, the yoke and
sleeves. The gown is fastened en-
princesse down the back, and the up
per part is made kimono fashion with
h half sleeve Oriental and japanese
styles are copied in the designs that
trim the djibahs, and the colors are
mixed, gray being patterned with
crimson, greSn with orange, blue with
brown, and so on.

The old idea Of sprinkling bora1
about to kill reaches is often used
but with meager success. by the house
wife whose kitchen is overrun by
reaches.
The main point to consider is the rule
of absolute cleanliness. An expert
enced housekeeper is quoted as say
ing that only by diligent fighting OF
the pesky things from one years end
to the other can they be eradicated
No corner or crevice must be over
looked and, even though the varmints
seem to have disappeared. vigilance
must not be relaxed. Rag carpets
which become saturated with grease
are vermin breeders and will almost
invariably cause trouble"
A well known librarian. who found
that his books were coming apart be-
cause of the inroads of reaches. which
fed upon the paste or glue. amused a
company of friends by telling how he
got rid of the insects. He made paste
Of -four and plaster of paris, placing 1t
In a small bowl in the library. and not
far away he put another bowl full OF
water. The reaches fed upon this de-
lectable dish with aviditg. which ere
ated an intense thirst. The water near
it was eagerly drunk, and plaster
cast formed inside their bodies. which
naturally hardened and caused them to
die.
In this way the bindings of the books
we're saved however strange may seem
the means Of their salvation.

"That is not the reason" replied
Jackson.
Because the air currents caused
