SOUGHT TO ENHANCE CHARMS
Holman Beauties Well Knew she valvs
ef Tine Spent mt the TeiIette
Table.

The toilette of the Reman beauty
was vastly important affair. The
maids who assisted Ina Ii were usually
Greek slaves, and the length Of time
devoted TO it may be judged from the
fact that, like beauties of France so
many centuries later, the Roman
woman often had the poets and the
philosophers Of the day to divert her
during its progress, a favor of which
they seem to have been less apprecia-
tive than their descendants in France.
The equipment for the toilette was
both elaborate and complete. Combs,
mirrors of Furnished bronze, bottles
for perfumes and boxes for rouge and
whitening preparations are all to be
found In collections of Roman toilette
articles, and many are the harsh
words on the subject of the feminine
toilette TO be found in the writings of
their masculine contemporaries who
disapproved of charm i'm their women,
yet seem with masculine inconsistency
to have disapproved equally Of women
without charm.

Flute HtohIy Esteemed.

Among the ancient Greeks, flute
playing was looked upon as the fash
ionable pastime of the elite, and, con-
seQuently, the instrument was consid-
erably improved by various players
from time to time, and flutes OF the
most careful and delicate workman
ship have been discovered and prove
this to have been the case.
From Greece, the instrument ap-
pears to have been adopted by the
Romans whe, indeed, borrowed all
that was beautiful in Greek art; and
we learn from Tacitus that even the
Emperor Nero himself. did not dis
dain the drudgery of practice. With
Roman conquests came also the adop-
ton of Roman manners and art.
Hence the instrument spread through
out the civilized world and its use be

Watch and Wait.

While it is true that we never know
what trouble or disaster may befall
us, we likewise never know what great
opportunity is going to come. into our
lives from an unexpected quarter. If
we read the lives of the men of our
country who have risen from poverty
and obscurity to the greatest heights
of success. we find that there were
certain times in their lives when great
opportunities presented themselves,
that much of the success of these men
was due to the fact that they were
able TO take advantage Of such oppor-
tunities when they came.
How often have we witnessed the
unhappy spectacle of some man falling

opportunity as a result of thriftless-

Thriftless habits will undermine any

BIRDS NESTS IN ODD PLACES
Remarkable BoIdness Shown by Many
Species When They Are Engaged

Every gear some fresh discovery is
made by natuIalists respecting the
curicns habits OF birds. The boldness
shown by even shy birds when domes-
tic duties are concerned Is surprising.
Robins are especially noted for their
boldness, and pair have been known
70 build their nest and rear their
family on beam In school, entering
by the window which was left open.
Swallows seldom build IN odd places,
but a pair have been known to buiI0
their nest against a pane of window
glass. A swallows nest in a funnel
Is an exceptionally queer place for
a bird Of this species to choose.
Wrens are very ingenious. and their
dome shaped nests. which are SO

old kettles and tins, and even in the
pockets of old coats which have been
left hanging about. A hedge sparrow's
nest in kettle was found in bunch
OF nettles close to public footpath.
where school children passed every
day, but the faithful bird, with no
thought of danger, reared a family

Glowing the Tongue.

A glove for the tongue has been
patented by an inventor of Indiana. It
is called tongue shield and is de-
signed to enable the wearer to escape
the unpleasantneSs of castor oil or
other bad-tasting medicines. The con-
triyance might be said to have the
shape of a miniature slipper without
any heel portion, but when placed over
the tongue is inverted. The tongue liz
inserted into the "toe'' part and the
back part Of the sole" extends over
the top OF the tongue toward the
throat. The device is made Of thin
rubber, so as to be liquid proof, and
is so constructed as TO fit the tongue
snugly without discomfort When
medicine is taken it passes into the
throat without affecting the sense of
taste, so that all unpleasantness is OBJ
Waited.

The Human eyroscope.

When you are dizzy things appear
10 go round in a circle. However, the
fault is not with the eyes but in or
near the ear-an organ which ap-
parently has nothing to do with sight
or feeling. Close to the ear is located
the little organ which gives us our
power Of balance, permits US to walk
upright without tottering, and, when
properly trained, to assume postures
which are distinctly outside the regu-
lar routine of our daily lives. Eccen-
tric dancers, acrobats, athletes and
others have uneonsciously trained this
balance wheel until they can do
strange things without, as we say, los
ing their balance. When we spin
around rapidly. this delicate mechan-
ism is disturbed or thrown slightly out
Of gear, causing the eyes TO move in
0ependently OF each other and TO send
different impressions to the brain.
This causes the spinning effect we call
dizziness.

clrcuitina the Earth.

A person making a circuit of the
earth will lose one day by going west
ward, and gain a day by going east
ward. In going eastward the sun is
met before complete rotation of the
earth has been made. Thus the
period from noon until the sun is
again met in the meridian is shorter
than from noon to noon In one
locality. Going westward requires a
little more than twenty-four hours for
the sun ito catch up," so that from
noon to noon by sun observation
covers q period of more than twenty
four hours. In order 10 keep dates
right, day is dropped out of reckon
ing by vessels sailing eastward when
crossing the one hundred and eight
ieth meridian-that is, they live the
same day twice; and a day is added
when they cross the same meridian
going westward-for instance, arriY-
Ing at the one hundred and eightieth

Remarkable Even for Collie.

Many are the stories told of collies'
sagacity, one of the most remarkable
being the record OF one shepherd In
Ettrick, Scotland. What was once the
great forest Of Ettrick was this night
only a dense sea OF mist and fog. The
shepherd in despair exclaimed to his
dog, "Sirrah, my man, they're a away u
He gave no command to the dog, in
fact he only spoke for sympathy. But
the sheep dog dashed or into the mist,
and the next morning the 500 missing
sheep were gathered in and Sirrah
was mounting guard over them. How
the animal got them in the dark was
beyond the comprehension of the shep-
herd, and he adds: IF all the shep-
herds in the forest had been there they
could not have effected it with greater
propriety."

OF the women. Some have quickened
their pace and tried to get away; 9th

who happened TO be behind with
flushed faces and angry glances. One
or two have even complained to the
police. while few have Jagged to find
out what It was all about.
Recently highly indignant woman
complained to a policeman
That man behind me has been
whistling TO attract my attention for
five minutes" she said II wish you
would stop it,
Much TO her amazement the police
man laughed unrestrainedly. He
pointed with his hand to a window
opposite the Hanson Place Baptist
church and there sat the culprft, wink
ing and whistling away. 1t was a
gray parrot with long red tail. He
had learned TO whistle like a mischiev-

tricks for the women passing. For
some time the fiirtatious parrot has

neighborhood.-Brooklyn Eagle.
