Powder and Paint
For Milady Are Given
|. Severe Condemnation

KINGSTON, Eng.-Rev. A. Welles-
ley Orr, Vicar of st. Paul's Church,
Kingston Hill, has come out against
the use of paint and powder by
women. Writing to his parishioners
the Vicar says:
Even while we are signing the
marriage register in the church YES
try the bride. may get in few mo-
'ments' work before the mirror with
a powder puff, scissors and a bottle.
The man who came into church In
love with a blushing blonde takes
out on his arm a blooming, bobbed
brunette.
Some wives are so constantly
changing their appearance that their
husbands live in perpetual dread of
being arrested for bigamy."
No use being surprised these days
when women paint and powder on
the street, street cars sand any old
place. Bare legs will be fashionable
this summer, and then we may ex-
pect to see knees being rubbed with
pumice stone as freely as the nose is
now rubbed with powder.-Ed.

"St;nging Snakeo q Mvfh.

The biological survey says that the
"stinging snake" myth apparently orig
mated more than 200 years ago and
is reported to have been first pub
lished in an old Report to Lords Pro
prietors of the Carolinas." John Clay
ton also mentions this myth in a letter
to the Royal society of London in
1858. In the first mentioned report 1t
is asserted that there lived in the
Carolinas a snake whose tail was a
poisoned horn or spike. This account
refers to the horn or stinging snake,
which is harmless. The horn snake
is bluish-black with a few red bars
across the belly. The tail of this
snake tapers to a fine point having
the appearance of a horn or spike,
but it is quite incapable Of piercing
or stinging anything.

mouth county, has started suit In the
court of chancery aginst James Boycc,
township committeeman and police
commissioner of Neptune township, to

of all the money and profits which
IGravatt and Boyce made In extensive
real estate operations which he and
BOyce had conducted together for more
than ten years, ard compel Boyce to-
pay TO Gravatt his share of the profits.

Park. They were very successful and
according to Gravatt, they made fairly
large profits.
Boyce took title to the properties In
his own name, but Gravatt alleges he
contributed the capital in large part
for the TRANSACTIONS. a8S
a great many parcels Of real estate

Waverly hotel and Centennial hotel
properties in Ocean Grove.

not sold. It Is also alleged that Boyce
has received a large amount of money
for rents and interest on mortgages for
which he has not accounted to Gravatt.
In the answer which was fled by Mr..
Boyce, he denies that he and Mr.. Ora
watt entered into any such agreement,
and that Mr.. Gravatt has no interest at
