Haiti's Sans Souci.

The palace of Sans souci, erected
by Christophe, the black leader OF
Haiti, Is situated in the hills above the
level vale of Milot, with a background
Of forest and a foreground sprinkled
with the palms and huts Of simple cul-
tivators. Dilapi lated ruins and a tan
gle Of tropical trees are the rueful rem
nants Of the glory that was once the
palace without care and the garden Of
delight of the king Of slaves. IS
1t was of the coast of Haiti, near the
site of this palace, that the flagship of
Columbus was wrecked, and here he
left most Of his men when he returned
to Spain for aid. Upon his return to

Tho Vampire.

This Il the vampire: Always inert,
sitting still, spending five to seven
hours a day looking out the window
on the street. Nothing to give, and al
ways giving it. Seeking amusement,
entertainment, but never affording any.
Taking, but never giving. Sitting
quietly and listening to others con-
verse and confer, even when her pres
ence Is unwelcome, but saying nothing
but an occasional yes or no. Primitive
minded and narrow, with nothing to
give, she drains others Of ideas with
out retaining them-like sieve.
Thought passes through and beyond
her without stopping. She acquires
nothing, gives nothing. takes every
thing. One person alone with her be-
comes exhausted while she is revivi-
fied.-New York Globe.

Whitening Winds.

The name ''harmatan" has been
given to a wind which periodically
blows from the interior of Africa
toward the Atlantic during Deem
Der, January and February. 1t is
heralded by fog or dry haze, which
sometimes conceals the sun for
whole weeks together. Every plant,
every bit of grass and leaf in its
course is withered as though it had
been scared by heat from furnace.
Often within an hour after it begins
to blow green grass is dry enough to
burn.

How to Transfer.

Here are suggestions for transferring
a design to any material.
Perhaps the easiest way Is the "win.

when the material is thin, like linen,
batiste, etc. Pin the sheet of paper
and the material together and hold
them up against the glass Of window.
With sharp pencil draw on the mate.

seen through the goods. If one-half OF
the design only is given unpin the paper
and turn the other side to the fabric.
If you have carbon paper you should
place the sheet between the fabric and

With a sharp pencil go over the outline
Of the design. The impression will be
left in fine lines and will last until
worked. ...

THE DOCTOR Tells
BATH SECRETS
An Expert Lays Down a Regime
For the Businsss.A n Woman-Ex-
cellent Recipe For Making Oat-
meal Bags For the Toilet.

~ GOD grooming, without correct
- bathing, is almost an impossi-
III bility. The society woman can
battle when she likes. The
business woman must arrange her
baths SO that they will not interfere
with her business hours. And both
women must be careful to select bath
best suited to their physical and nerv-
GUS condition as well as their occupa-
ton.
All baths are not cleansing. This is
particularly true of the cold bath. The
woman with an oily skin gets absolute
~ no results from cold bath, and
when one has skin disease, like acne,
eczema, ETC., the cold bath irritates and
increases it.
The sponge as an aid in bathing has
been generally condemned by latter
day physicians and beauty specialists,
as It is said to harbor germs and the
skin excretions. Fastidious women
now use bath mitten of porous tex
ture or loose woven Turkish toweling
In the place of the sponge, and unless
the skin Is tender q camers hair flesh
brush can be used. There is also what
ia known as the air bath, which means
using basin or small tin tub instead
of the regulation bathtub and sponging
of in a room flooded with sunshine and
fresh air. -. -. ....9,..,. &C.,.
i good regime for baths for the bust
ness woman is this: Three times &
week at night take either, tepid or a
warm bath, using good soap or soap
powder. The tepid bath ranges in tenn
perature from IS to 80 degrees, the
warm bath between 90 and SO. This
tempera ture can be ascertained by the
use OF thermometer, which can be
bought at any first class drug store or
hardware store. Both the tepid and
warm baths act as sedative. When
the water is below So or above 9S it
stimulates or shocks and is not an aid
to sleep. If a business woman, if the
skin Is very oily, pinch Of borax, Il
few drops Of benzoin or toilet ammo
MIA may be poured into the bath. High

ton Is the one you want to use for

When the skin is much irritated by
contact with dust and CRIME use oat-
meal bath bags instead of soap. Buy
cheesecloth In quantities and cut the
bags about four inches square, ill then
loosely with the following mixture and
never use bag but once, throwing it
away after once used:
Oatmeal, i've pounds; powdered for

Get Plenty Of Sleep.

Too often does the girl who has nat
ural beauty in her youth squander it
prodigally, keeping late hours, overex-
erting and eating irregular food, rich,
but not particularly nourishing. Health
and strength are the props on which
beauty depends for support, and when
inroads are constantly made on these
it quickly fades. To continue in the
possession Of health and strength no
new laws are needed, but the old rule
Of plenty of sleep, nourishing food
eaten regularly and much exercise
must be observed.
Sufficient sleep is more conducive to
good looks than any artificial means
yet discovered by the Leauty doctors.
If you would keep your eyes bright
and your face unlined obey the eight
hour law Of sleep.

ART OF SAVING MONEY.
Tho Wisdom Of Building Up Instead Of
SIicine Down.

otSin9 6o"u'
In the American Magazine a writ
er on the art of saving money says:
"When an old uncle of mine died
and left me little bequest of $5A5
my first impulse was to even it of,
and if it hadn't been for an old
friend of my fathers | think I
would have succeeded in neatly par
ing it down to zero.
"What were you thinking of do
ing with that money! he asked cas-
ually one day. buG Grgo,. aoItm 9sl
"sWen,' l replied, II think In
just take that SIS and 60. fora little
lake trip, and then III have $500 to
put in the bank y ~
"'Why $5oo?' he said. why not
s545"' - - r.
"'Oh, T replied, you might as
we'll have an even amount?
"Do you suppose you could spare
me S. p he asked suddenly.
"'Why, yes I replied, a little
surprised that he should ask to Dor
row money Of me, but I handed it
to him.
"FAll right, then,' he said; there's
$5,' handing me back that same
bill. If you'll just put this with
that $545 you'll have $3.50, and
that's a nice even amount. Now,
if you'll put that in the bank, in
three months it will have earned
so more, and surely in the mean
time you can scrape together $44.50,
and then you'll haye an even $500
instead Of $780, 49,
"sWell; what could I do with
SCOOP I asked not very much i'm
pressed, as the difference didn't
seem worth the trouble.
"'Onc thing you could do re-
piled the old gentleman, would be
to ask your banker to buy a thou
sand dollar bond for you or, rather,
to lend you the extra $4o0, keeping
the bond as security, and then it
wouldn't be long before you would
have $1,000, which for "even
amounts" is . little better than
$780,
''Then with pencil and paper
he showed me carefully just how
long it would take.
"Of course you don't have to do
it if you don't want to, but l have
noticed he went on thoughtfully,
that this business of having a little
by you is pretty much matter OF
the way your mind works. Some
people always want to even things
off in money matters, others want
to even them up, and once you get
started at it, thinking up isn't much
harder than thinking down. For in
stance, if I showed you ID cents
you might say, Il can spend 8 cents
for popcorn, and then I'll have a
dime," or you could say, IF I put z
cents with that I'll have Is cents"
"Tt's the downhill people, the
people who follow the path of least
resistance, the people who slice off a
little instead of building up little,
who never get anywhere in life :"

INTERESTING SOURCES.
How Some Of Our Commonest Fabrics
Wero Named.


Calico used to come from Calcutta,
India. Sailors would present their
sweethearts with a pattern of calico
and expect the lady to be wearing the
same dress when they returned from
their next trip, three years later. It
would wear three years, but now any
cotton weaver turns out calico that
hardly lasts three months.
Satin came from Zaytoun, China,
damask from Damascus. Baize could
only be properly made in Baza, Spain.
Cambria was French importation,
and muslin was made on hand looms
at Mosul, Asia. The valley Of Kash-
mir. in India, sent us Himalaya cash
mere that Yankee ingenuity can never
initiate.
Serge got its name from Spanish
word, verge, and jersey cloth was first
called serzey. Foreign countries now
buy their fabrics from us to great
extent, and we feel such pride in goods
made in America that we are ashamed
to sigh for the real bona fde article
of grandma's day.
