Some time in the year 1724 Thomas LOngman first hung out his Signs of the Ship and the Black Swan. emblems which are still the crests of the house. That big prices were paid authors in those days, is shown by the fact that Thomas Longman the second offered Thomas Moore f3,OO0 for ''LaIla Rookh" before a line of it was written. I get my information from James Milne, who contributes a most entertaining article on the subject to the London Daily News.
 The third Thomas Longman visited Walter Scott in 1902 and bought the copyright of the Border Minstrelsy," and was also interested in "The Lay of the Last Minstrel" for which, after the first edition had been exhausted, he offered $500. Scott accepted the of fer, and afterward the publishers added E100 more in "their own unsolicited kindness" to supply the loss of a fine horse which broke down suddenly while the author was riding with one of the worthy publishers.
 Macaulay, who published Lays of Ancient Rome" with Longmans' thought so little about the verse that he made them a present of it. The work was. of course, given back to him and became very valuable both to Ma caulay and his family. In 1S43, Mir. Milne says, Macaulay was doubting whether his History of England" would be of any permanent value. He was wrong. because the history became famous and was such a success that on March 13, 1856, the author got check from Longmans for f20,000 as his share lon account" of the profits of the third and fourth volumes.-W. Orton TewsOn in the New York Evening Post.

BEAUTIES OF NATURE

It may be observed that what we call beauty of nature is mainly nega- tive beauty; that is, the mass, the huge rude background, made up of docks, trees, hills, mountains, plains, water, has not beauty as positive character, visible to all eyes, but affords the mind the conditions of beauty, namely, health, strength, fitness, etc., beauty. being an experience of the beholder. Some things, on the other hand, as flowers, foliage, brilliant colors, sunsets, rain- bows, waterfalls, may be said to be beautiful in and of themselves; but how wearisome the world would be without the vast negative background upon which these things figure and which provokes and stimulates the mind in e way the purely fair forms do not !-- John Burroughs.

Relieving Pain

e6T DON'T see the sense of putting " my feet Tn hot water and mus
 tafd when it's my head and throat that hurt.' mourned Agnes White, who was thirteen and inclined to argue about everything.
 Her mother, too busy to engage in debate, hurried around collecting bath tub and warmed towels, a pitcher of hot water and another of cold, as well as old newspapers to protect the rug near the bed, and soft old blanket to fold around the girls feet after they were immersed.
 Agnes had made her complaint after she was lying in bed with her feet safely placed in the hot mustard bath and carefully shielded from any pos sible draught across the foot-tub by the blanket, folded around it beneath the sheets.
 Her mother. with one hand dabbling every now and again in the hidden tub, would add a little trickle of hot water to the foot-bath using her own hand as a bath thermometer so that she should not scald the girls feet.
 Honestly and truly" said Agnes, suddenly, ''the pain seems to be going away. Anu 1 Ieel SO tlEcu anu slccpy, mother. If my feet were dry I think l could go to sleep"
 So the bath-towel that was wrapped around well-filled warm water bot tie lying on the foot of the bed was brought into action, and after the bath was deftly removed from the bed. Mrs. White wrapped Agnes feet in the warm towel and patted them dry. Then she placed a warm water bottle (covered) in the foot of the bed, not touching but near enough for the girls feet to feel cosy.
 Almost before her mother had set tied the pillows under her head more comfortably and drawn the light silk comforter up around her neck, the sick little girl was asleep.
 Her mother smiled a little as she Semptied the foot-tub and put away the old blanket, hanging it where it would dry and air.
 "No wonder the poor child marvelled at giving her feet bath when the pain was in her head. But there isn't any thing better than a good old-fashioned mustard footbath, to draw the pain away from the head.
 Mrs. White knew the value of coun- ter irritant

valuable to medical science and is un- derstood fairly generally.
 A counter irritant relieves pain be- cause the irritation of the skin surface (by n mustard plaster or mustard foot bath) causes the blood vessels at and around the area of application to expand This relieves the congestion at the point of pain, as the extra blood rushes to the area of the counter ir- ritant. That is why pain and conges- tion in the throat or head is quickly relieved by counter irritant applica- tions at such a distant point of the body as the feet.
 Counter irritants may be general or local.
 The former are various kinds of baths, or footbaths, while the latter are mustard plasters, blisters, or the ap- plication of poultices or Concentrations. Hot water bottles, hot-air baths and electric pads are also counter irritants.
 Any applications of heat, whether in the shape of baths or bottles, fomenta- tions or poultices should always be made with caution to avoid injury to the skin.

taurants that didn't believe were made any more; huge hats, they were, cov- cred with ostrich feathers, balancing on top of the head. It seemed incredi- ble. One rarely sees smart woman during the day in London, but in the evening they appear totally different. The men are still we'll turned out, al- though not so markdly so as before the war. But they are undoubtedly still far ahead of their countrywomen.a
 Of course, I went to the much talked of Empire Exhibition at Wembley, but it was disappointing. All the English people l saw, agreed with me, so I feel no hesitation in saying so. At Wembley the exterior is really ugly and looks as if the buildings had been thrown together in a few days and with little attention paid to the grounds. The interiors of most of the buildings Ire equally unattractiye. One, however, impressed me deeply-the Canadian building. This has long hall, done entirely by the Canadian government, believe, which gives enc feeling of T certain impressiveness and grandeur. It was striking.
 The Queens dolls house, about which there has been much publicity was in- teresting because of the artists who had contributed. But one was forced to walk by it very quickly in line, (like the animals going into the ark ) whereas we would all have liked to examine it minutely. It is undoubtedly an unique thing. Everything imagina- ble is complete in miniature-done by the foremost people. There are wine cellar, linen closet. store house, day and night nurseries, the strong room with replicas of the Grown Jewels, not to mention all the regular rooms and bathrooms. In fact, it is complete house, furnished with linen, china and glass, books, portraits, household arti- cles. toys, kitchen utensils and goods:

You'll Get Rid of
 Blackheads Sure

There is one simple, safe and sure way. that never fails to get rid of .blackheads, that is to dissolve them.
 To do this get two ounces of calonite powder from any drug store-sprinkle a little on a hot, wet cloth--rub over the blackheads briskly wash the parts and you will be surprised how the blackheads have disappeared. Big blackheads, little no matter where they are. simply dissolve and disappear. Black heads are a mixture of dust and dirt and secretons that form in the pores of the skin. The calonite powder and the water dissolve the blackheads they wash right out,- leaving the pores free and clean and in their natural condftion.-Adv.

Social Fashions Well Dressed
 x Women
By MARGARET WADE

A forecast of winter fashions from the point of vantage of Washington drawing rooms or in the morning hours along Connecticut avenue, would lead to the conclusion that every one had new smart costumes for day time and nothing new for evening. The facts heinz that even at the numerous smart dinner parties, usually for some visit- ing guest, the visiting guest and her en- tertainers are wearing the dinner gowns of the past summer, evening gowns as rule showing little change in six months or even a year, but street clothes, either the serviceable coat suit of the morning hours or the afternoon toilets for formal luncheOns, receptions and teas, such as mark all season in Washington, are so radically changed from the early spring that a gown that did duty in May is quite out of the picture in October.
 Skirts are shorter for everybody and sleeves are not longer, but long also for everybody including such smartly gowned brides as the foremr Miss Elsie Freeman, daughter of the bishop of Washington, now Mrs. Raymond Lee Wolven and the former Miss Louise Food, now Mrs. Parker Gilbert. Both these gowns were direct from Paris, as were the going away gowns of the respective brides. The latter were the ensemble gowns of the between sason- Mrs. Wolyen's in new tawny brown Mrs. Parker's in an equally new and modish blue, each showing a gay top to the skirt and narrow frock with the long straight coat lined to cores pond.
