You might brush your hair back
in a soft pompadour with big bow
at the crown OF the head; then
draw it oil back and tie another
bow at the nape of the neck. This
fashion would not be too old for
you If you used bright-colored rib

instance.

Absolute cleanliness is the only
safeguard against reaches. Not
particle of garbage should be left
in the kitchen at night. Turpentine
added to water when washing
around the sink and cupboards and
a little poured into the drain pipes
is a preventive.
There are many excellent insect
powders on the market. Am sorry
/ cannot mention proprietary arti-
cles in this column.
Borax is a good non-poisonous
exterminator. Sprinkle it freely
about the infested parts and it will
drive the reaches away. Cucumber
parings are also said to be effective
Corrosive sublimate sprinkled
around the infested parts will kill
reaches almost instantly Be care
full with this substance, as it is a
deadly poison.
Here is a powder that Is said to
be good:
Wheat flour, 4 ounces; powdered
sugar, ounces; powdered borax,
2 ounces; unslaked lime, 2 ounces.
Mix and keep dry. Scatter about
on papers and leave no vessels con-
tanning liquids uncovered, as the
poisoned reaches will get into them

The Ashland Shriners,, who have
been in Roseburg since Friday, have
had a very enjoyable convention in
that town. Saturday they gave a
street parade and drill, and excited
much praise from Roseburgers.
Much entertainment was provided for
the Ashland guests by their Roseburg
friends. In the evening several new
names were added to the roll of mem
bers. ...
After leaving Roseburg the Shriner
party from Ashland continued their
way to Marshfield, where another
ceremonial will be held. This con-
vention takes place Tuesday. Most
of the party intend to come back to

Natives Wash Themselves Clean Before

Partial accounts Of the luxury Of a
japanese bath lead us to believe that
we have something yet to learn about
what is regarded by many in this coun-
try as necessity and by more as a
supererogation-in Japan the bath is
not only necessity, but a delightful
recreation.
The japanese have a way of their
own Of taking a bath. They have a
system that in some respects resem.

If you are in public bathhouse, you
may smoke and doze and chat with
your friends in a dissipation that is
said to be exceedingly refreshing. The
water is kept hot, perhaps increases in
heat, and when you leave the tub it Is
still regarded as fit for the next Gus

The first mayor of New York, Thom-

June, 1865. Governor Richard Nicolls,
the first English executive Of the fu-
ture Empire State, was responsible for
the appointment Of Willett, who was a
wealthy merchant and trader and had
a town house in New York and coun-
try estate in Rhode Island, where his
body was buried in 1874. Willett, who
was a shrewd business man, governed
New York honestly and well and after
his first term Of one year was made
mayor again in 1867. The municipal
government of which he was the head
was composed Of five aldermen, three
Dutch and two English, and a sheriff,
although police duties devolved largely
upon the mayor, and he was police

Curious Incident of an Explosion That

Curious Incident of an Explosion That
Wrecked Fifty Homes.
1t happened that in the last month
of the reign of Charles /. a certain
ship chandler of London was foolish
enough to busy himself over a barrel
Of gunpowder with lighted candle in
his hand. He paid the price of his
folly. A spark fell into the gunpow-
der, and the place was blown up.
The trouble was that the man who
did the mischief was not the only one
to perish. Fifty houses were wrecked,
and the number of people who were
killed was not known.
In one house among the fifty q moth
er had put her baby into its cradle to
sleep before the explosion occurred.
What became of the mother no one
ever knew. but what became of the
baby was very widely known. The
next morning there was found upon
the leads Of the Church of Allhallows
young child in cradle, baby and
cradle being entirely uninjured by the
explosion that had lifted both to such
giddy height.
1t was never learned who the child
was, but she was adopted by a gentle
man of the parish and grew to woman
hood. She must surely all her life
have had a peculiar interest in that
church.-Sir Walter Besant's Lon

Misplaced Sympathy.

Sitting near the door in a subway
car was a middle aged man reading a
newspaper. At one station there got
aboard this car mother and her son,
a small boy maybe four years old.
AS those two came through the door
way and into the car the small boy,
quite by accident, of course, hit the
middle aged gentleman reading the
newspaper good, smart kick on the
shin, causing the man to vince, while
the boys progress was checked for a
moment by his thus kicking up against
something.
The mother looked down, but she
said nothing to the man. 1t was to the
boy she spoke:
did you hurt yourself, dear?"
Which seemed a case of misplaced
sympathy.--New York Sun.

New York city-the length and
breadth of Manhattan-and Boston,
from the Fcnway in three directions to

to grow up in as the basement of a

be hay enough on such a floor for a
calf, as there is doubtless air enough
on New York city street for a child.
1t is not the lack Of things-not even
air-in a city that renders life next to
impossible there. 1t is rather the null
titude of things. City life is a three

and peanuts and pink lemonade. 1t is
