Instructive Lecture on Bugs.

On Tuesday, April 6, the Woman g
club met with Miss A. NJ. Barrows, the
always genial hostess. The roll call
on bugs was responded to by nearly
all present with quotations, witty or
wise, after which the president intro
duced Prof Edwin B. Young, who
spoke on Our Insect Friends and Enc
mics. His lecture was illustrated both
by pictures and mounted specimens and
was very instructive and entertaining,
holding the close attention of all for
more than an hour. Mr.. Young was
thoroughly acquainted with his sub
ject, and it is safe to say that all who
heard him will be more interested in
the ''small things of earth.

Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots.
How to Remove Easily.

Here's chance, Miss Freekle-faee,
to try remedy for freckles with the
guarantee of a reliable dealer that it
will not cost you a penny unless it re-
moves the freckles; while if it does
give you a clear complexion the ex-
pense is trifling.
Simply get an ounce of othine -
double strength from any druggist
and a few applications should show
you how easy it is to rid yourself of
the homely freckles and get a beauti-
ful complexion Rarely more than one
ounce needed for the worst case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine as this is the
prescription sold under guarantee of
money back if it fails to remove
freckles

aire by Grasping an 0ppor-
tunity When He Saw 1t.

The scouts motto is 'Be prepared"
and he should be prepared for what
ever opportunity presents itself. A
Chicago scout master tells Of a boy
who later became a millionaire who
began his career by taking advantage
of an opportunity that came to him as
he was passing an auction shop. He
saw several boxes of kind of soap
which his mother was accustomed to
buy from the family grocer. Hasten
ing to the grocery store. he asked the
price Of the soap. '"Twelve cents
pound,' was the reply. On being press
ed for lower figure, the shopkeeper
remarked in bantering tone that he
would buy all that the boy could bring
to the store at 8 cents a pound. The
boy hurried back to the auction and
bought the soap at cents 4 pound. 1t
was in this way that he made his first
money in trade and laid the foundation
of his fortune.

NAVAL T0RPEDOES.
Intricate Mechanism Of These Awful
Engines Of Destruction.

s"st 'SoAS "oSHAu1Sn OF lneSe Awful
Engines Of Destruction.
At the torpedo's head is an explosive
chamber which holds damp guncotton.
This is fired by means Of rod which,
on contact with the walls of ship, is
driven in upon detonator. This fires
a primer, which in turn explodes the
guncotton.
The next chamber stores compressed
air to the pressure Of 1000 pounds to
the square inch. This is practically
the boiler room Of the torpedo. for it
supplies the motive power to the four
cylinder engine which drives it through
the water on its errand Of destruction.
Next comes the wonderful gyroscopic
control of the air motor by which the
rudders are adjusted. This is where
the Intricate mechanism Of the torpe-
do is so clearly demonstrated. Should
it rise or dip in the water this gyro-
scope actuates a motor which in turn
operates rods related with the rud-
ders and at once readjusts any defec-
ton from the course originally set.
The motor mentioned is but a few
inches In length, yet the power it ex-
erts by means OF compressed air is
such that the pressure Of half an ounce
operated by the steering gear produces
a pull of 100 pounds on the rudders.
This terrible fsh's tail holds wheel
gearing for the driving Of two pro-
pellers and the manipulation Of the
rudders. The propellers reyolve in op-
posite directions, thereby preventing
the torpedo describing a circle.-Lon-

Dan Beard Gives Valuable Advice to
Boy Scouts.
Dan Beard in recent letter to
boy scouts published in Boy Life
gives advice that appeals to all boys.
He says that in the wilderness the
word "carry'' is out of date. You are
asked to "pack pail of water up
from the spring." or to "pack a letter.
to settlement, and when you are said
to he fighting your pack" it means
that you are fighting your load-that
IS. you are whining and complaining
about your tasks. That is a perform
ance for which Mr.. Beard has nothing
but contempt. He says, Don't fight
your pack, don't give in and fall down
under your load and whimper like a
sissy but straighten up, look the
world straight in the eye and hit the
trail like man." :,

linen suits have coats which are long,

Some Of the smart suits have the

these made to flare
The Norfolk style, somewhat modi-
fed, and the short WASTED style are
very much in evidence in the spring
models. -:
The military influence is noticed in
many OF the new coat suits.
While there are two distinct types Of
suits the strictly tailor made and semi
tailored, there is preference for the
simple tailored suits for early spring.
Authorities have given two reasons for
this tendency. One is the fact that
military styles call for severe lines;
the other is the fact that American
women like the strictly tailored suit,
and so long rs they are made by
American tailors they are sure to have
the plain tailored lines. ~

WHO CAN DRIVE NAILS BEST?
Have a Contest and Try Out the Skill
Of Your Friends.

Of Your Friends.
For each contestant provide a ham,
mer, block of wood and a supply of
eightpenny or tenpenny nails. When
all contestants are ready give the sig
nal for the nail driving to begin. The
object is to drive in the nails i'll the
shortest possible time and the first
one to drive home ten nails is the win
ner The head of the nail must be
flush with the surface of the wood be-
fore it is considered in. This contest
may be for either men or women. or
for both. Any number may enter, but
too many contestants scatter the at
tention. Usually most fun results with
three contestants from each side. For
those who are not expert soft wood
may be provided, while hard, seasoned
wood and long nails will tax the skill
of the most experienced. This game,
by the way, will almost certainly dis
pei the superstition that women cam
not drive nails straight. Variation may
be secured by having contests for
boys, girls, married women, and so on.

SILK STOCKINGS.

Lensthen the Life Of Your Hose By
Good Care. !. ...,:
With little care and attention silk
stockings may he made to wear two
and even three months. If before
wearing they are washed through luke
warm water they become more glossy
and also strengthened, rs silk takes
very kindly to water.
After each wearing, also, the stock
1ngs should be washed in lukewarm
water and white soap.
If the stockings are white, they
should be put in a dark room to dry.
Never dry white or colored stockings in
the sun. The Japanese are said to put
all white silks in dark closet to dry.
This will absolutely keep them from
yellowing. The use of hot water, ac-
cording to those who know, is prohibit
ed in the washing of silks. Also avoid
rubbing.
And now as to the wearing of silk
stockings. They absolutely must not
be worn tight If the stocking is pull
ed to it's full length and caught at
the hem there will be few, if any,
runners occurring within a reason
able time. Wear your stockings COM
fortably, not too loose or too tight,
One extreme is as bad as the other.
A stocking with Isle top and foot
will wear better than an all silk one.

TTELEN WAKEFIELD when nine
teen Years Of age, by the.
death of first her father and

leeN years OF age, ny the
death of first her father and q
few months later her mother,
found herself responsible for the sup
port of herself and several brothers
and sisters very much younger than
herself. What should she do to feed
and clothe her little ones? She had
shown some talent in private theatre
calls for histriOnics and had been told
that she would achieve success on the
stage. An old friend Of her mother
offered to advance certain sum by
which she might receive some educa-
ton as an actress. and Helen awaited
herself of it, taking lessons Of an elo-
cutionist.
Her instructor did not encourage her.
He told her that her enunciation was
peculiar to herself and that it was I'M
attractive. AS for her action, especial
~ her facial expression, it was all that
could be desired. But she could: not
hope to please with that alone, and her
enunciation would SO repel an audi
ence that her valuable qualities would
not be appreciated.
.Helen's friends told her that this was
rubbish. She had pleased private au-
diences and she would with the same
gifts please the public. Helen believed
them because she preferred to believe
them. She did not know that intimate
friends, even if competent critics, will
seldom give an unbiased criticism. AS
for professional critics, while they may
judge as to what Is artistic, when it
comes to judging what the public will
fancy they are as much at sea as any
one else.
Helen, encouraged by her friends,
persevered. After hasty preparation
she attempted, with the assistance Of
friends. to get an engagement. She
was offered parts in which she would
have but few words to say, but she
felt that they would give her no oppor-
tunity to show what she could do, and
she pushed on for something better.
Finally, at the earnest solicitation of
a friend, she was given trial 1t was
arranged that she should understudy
for part that would test her powers,
and the person whom she was under
studying agreed to give way to her as
soon as she was ready to make the
trial.
IN due time she appeared in the role
she had been preparing for. She made
dismal failure. She felt her part,
acted her part, but she could not speak
her part. AS her preceptor had warned
her. her enumeration spoiled the whole.
