YOUNG GIRLS WHO
POWDER AND ROUGE

possesses
AS beauty's lovely bait"
Beauty! thou pretty plaything! dear

That steals so often Ger the stripping
And gives it a new pulse unknown be-
fore"
There'c a true tale going the rounds
of the press, which will bring fright to
many a girlish heart. It is this: A
young husand has deserted his bride
of a few weeks for the sole reason
that he has made what he considers
to be an astounding discovery that
she puts powder and rouge on her
face. The decision is up to a magis-
trate to settle whether or not a man
is Justified in leaving his wife for such
a reason.
There are many husbands awaiting
the decision with secret eagerness.
There are wives too, as we'll as maid
ems, watching with palpitar1ng hearts
What woman considers it beyond par
don to dab a little harmless powder on
her nose If there's a gloss on it? If
her complexion is white as a ghost
and a tiny bit of rouge makes her
it only the proper thing to aid nature
in making herself more attractive
Within the four walls OF home it may
be her own affair. But if on going
out in the street the paint and powder
are plastered on so thick that they
could be scraped off with a knife it's
everyibody's business to comment on it
if they feel SO disposed
It is said that the girls who get
themselves up in this way do so to
attract the beaux. They don't seem
to realize that any young man with
two eyes in his head can see makeup
on a girl a mile off, as it were. He
believes every young girl should have
a natural complexion. And If she has
to resort to paint and powder she
must have an unseern1y crop Of free
kles or scars to hide. Or, worse still,
the fears that she must he years and
years older than she would have peo-
pie imagine. A man may admire for
the moment the dolled UP girl, who
gets herself up to look like the wax
figures in store windows. But when it
comes to marriage his choice is the
girl whose charms are natures own.

vessels were to withdraw from the
fight as rapidly as possible, taking q
position to the west and south of the
combatants. I also sent an air scout
to the fighting green men in the gar
dens below to re-embark and to the
transports to join us.
My commanders were further in
structed that when engaged with an
enemy to draw him as rapidly as pos
stble toward ship Of his hereditary
foemen and by careful maneuvering to
force the two to engage, thus leaving
himself free to withdraw.
This tratagem worked to perfection,
and just before the sun went down
had the satisfaction Of seeing all that
was left Of my once mighty feet gath
cred nearly twenty miles southwest of
the still terrific battle between the
blacks and whites.
Our plan now was to attempt to
make combined assault upon Issus
at dawn Of the following day.
Tars Tarkas, with his green war
riors, and Hor Vastus, with the red
men, guided by Xodar, were to land
within the gardens Of Issus or the
surrounding plains, while Carthoris,
Kantos Kan and I were to lead our
smaller force from the sea Of Omean
through the pits beneath the temple,
which Carthoris knew so well.
To- al fhA A~cf "a
cause of my ten ships retreat from
the mouth Of the shaft. It seemed
that when they had come upon the
shaft the navy Of the Black Pirates
were already issuing from it's mouth.
Fully twenty vessels had emerged,
and, though they gave battle immedi-
ately in an effort to stem the tide that
rolled from the black pit, the odds
against them were too great, and they
were forced to flee.
With great caution we approached
the shaft under cover Of darkness. At
q distance of several miles I caused
the fleet to be halted, and from there
Carthoris went ahead alone upon
one man f1ier to reconnoiter.
In perhaps half an hour he returned
to report that there was no sign Of
patrol boat or of the enemy in any
form, and SO we moved swiftly and
noiselessly forward once more toward
Omean.
At the mouth of the shaft leading to
Omean we stopped again for a mo-
ment for all the vessels to reach their
previously appointed stations; then
with the flagship I dropped quickly
into the black depths, while one by
one the other vessels followed me in
quick succession.
We had decided to stake all On the
chance that we would be able to reach
the temple Of Issus by the subterra-
mean way, and SO we left no guard of
vessels at the shafts mouth. Nor
would it have profted us any to have
done SO, for we did not have sufficient
force all told to have withstood the
vast navy Of the Black Pirates had
they returned to engage us.

THE BITTERNESS OF DEATH

It is not death that some time, in a

That some time, these bright stars
that now reply
In sunlight, to the sun, shall set in
night;
That this warm conscious flesh shall
perish quite
And all life's rudy springs forget
to flow;
That thoughts shall cease, and the i'm
mortal sprite
Be apt in alien clay and laid below:
1t is not death to know this; but to
know
That pious thoughts which visit at
cur grave
In tender pilgrimage: will cease to go

SPRING PRUNING.

Now is the time to prune vines and
trees. Don't delay until other spring
work comes and then say there is no
time to do it. The man who prunes
will reap his reward this coming sea-
son in his crop of fruit.
Grapes.
Grapes should be pruned before it
gets any later in the season. It is
impossible to prune them early in
April because they will bleed badly,
and this will weaken the vines for the
years growth.
In pruning we should look for last
years growth of wood. We should
prune this back until there are only a
few buds left upon it This is be-
cause each one of these buds will start
d shoot when spring opens up, and
each shoot will bear, at least, three
punches of grapes. The amount of
last years wood to leave depends, of
course, upon the strength of the vine.
An average vine should have four or
five branches left. These branches
should be cut back until they are not
more than four feet long. Always
remember, however, that it is better
TO have a few nice punches of grapes
than a large number Of small badly
filled punches. Even strong, Wig
orous vine need not be allowed to keep
more than a quarter Of the wood
which it grew last year. There IS
seldom any danger of cutting a vine
too much
Where vines are being trained upon
arbors for shade as well as for the
fruit they will produce, 1t Is necessary,
of course to sacrifice some Of the fruit
for shade, more wood being left than
otherwise would be the case.
Pea ches.
A well-trained peach tree should
be low-headed, we'll branched. and
spreading, so that large part Of the
crop may be harvested from the
ground. To obtain tree of this form
we must cut off the upper part Of the
limbs every year, even though 1t is
hard work to keep an old low-headed.
If the trees are already high, cut
them back quite severely, in spite of
Its meaning a sacrifice of part of
this years crop. Next season, we
will make up the loss for the new
growth where the peaches will be
born. In removing a top branch, cut
Il lust above a branch which comes
out at an angle. This will tend to
mae the tree more straight. Especial
care should be taken that all dead or
diseased wood should be cut off.
Some Of the tools best adapted to
pruning work are the hand-pruning
shears, the narrow bladed saw pre-
,erably one Of the neat saw type with
swivel blade, and a pole primer for
cutting out the tops Of high trees.
The saw can be used for all the limbs
90 large for the hand shears. The
pole pruner is Of advantage because
t allows the worker to remain on the
ground while removing the top
and he is in better posi-
ion to do the work than If he used
he long handled primers which re-
luire both hands to operate.
Very old trees may be cut back to
stubs and in a year or two an entirely
new tree will be formed which will be
rs vigorous as a young tree, but will
produce a crop Of fruit the next sea-
son If severely headed back. IN
When going through the orchard to
10 the pruning work, make it point
20 remove all dry peaches which still
cling to the limbs of the trees. These
serve as carriers of the brown rot dis
