ODD DRAMAS OF HISTORY
Man Wagr He Can Watch 81 Executed in Reign of Terror
Without Flinchng but Loses
By J. P. GLASS.

On q hot morning In June, 1894, 81
persons were brought before the Tribu-
nal IN Paris, charged with q conspiracy
against the revolutionary government
headed by Robespierre, with the intent
to kill him.
1t was a motley crowd. In It were
dukes and artisans, ladies and work.
girls, princes and domestics Not one
bit OF evidence was produced to show
that any Of them had been connected
with o conspiracy. But the Tribunal
was not interested In guilt or innocence.
After . half hour Of consideration, it
found the whole lot guilty.
Death was to follow immediately.
But more than four hours was required
to get the prisoners ready for execu-
ton. They were just being marched
out Of the Conciergerie when the ofii-
cials remembered that it was the rule
that such prisoners must wear the red
shirt Of q parricide to the guillotine.
For another hour, the unfortunates
were subjected to an agony Of waiting
while the red robes were being sewed
together for their use
It was o'clock In the evening when
they were finally conducted to the foot
OF the gui1lotine. A crowd had gath
cred to watch the long string Of execu-
uons. Among them was o revolutionary
noted for his great strength and his
hardened nerves.
He was proclaiming loudly that he
would wager any one that he would be
able to watch the killings from nrst to
last without fiinching. No one accept
ed. Time after time the blade fell and
he looked on steadily. But a horror
came too great for even this brute to
bear.
A young girl named Nichole, little
more than a child, stepped forward and
lay down upon the plank. Then she
looked up at the executioner and asked
gently: Am I right this way?"
The iron.nerved revoiutionist reeled
and dropped in q faint.

A Young Neck.

Though we were talking about neck
exercise recently, we did not say much
about the value Of massage and Of
creams in keeping the neck young.
Some women will spend a lot Of time
using cream, and doing massage, which
could be spent on exercising-I don't
know why women dislike exercise so
much, but I know they do. So I write
more about massage than about exer-
else, naturally. Another generation Of
US may be more active; we're steadily
improving.
OF course, one great advantage of
cold cream treatments Is that you can
put on the cream, let 1t stay there and
go on and do something else. II you
haven't q lot Of time, and you know
your neck needs q thorough treatment,
wash 1t first, or. roll q towel wrung
from hot water around it for q minute,
just to open the pores, and then rub a
generous layer Of cold cream all over It..
The pores being open, the skin will take
up more Of the cream than otherwise.
Then, you can do your face, your hair,
your nails, you can read or sew, do
housework, q dozen other things that
may be necessary, while the cream is
on the skin. Simply keep q towel over
your shoulders to protect your clothes,
unless you have on a low-cut dress or O
negligee.

Necklaces and Bracelets
By MARY MARSHALL.

II you have string Of large beads
that yosf no longer wish to wear In their
present form you may be able to use
them TO make necklace and bracelet
similar to the set shown In the sketch.
This set consists Of colored beads COM
btned with pearl beads and pendants
and could not be copied exactly, but
you would have no trouble in getting
the general effect of necklace and
bracelet. The smaller beads should be
round and colorfuI so that when strung
into clusters they will look like ripe
red bunches of grapes. Start your
work by stringing two or three threads

Perishable Foods in Your

BY FLoRENCR "a oANKr

There may be other times In the
year when there is more food In the
house than during the holidays, but
it seems doubtful. What with enter
tanning, keeping open house and feed
ing the family itself there seems to be
no limit to the foods which must be
kept on hand.
And when the refrigerator Is not so
large the cold storage space is at
premium.
Nancy's mother had a cook who had
been with her for years. But she kept

device which she could find. The con-
tainer for fresh vegetables was one of
her hnds. This white enamel contairer
is now sold with many of the mechani-
cal refrigerators but may be purchased
separately. It Is most useful when
fresh vegetables or fruits like lemons
have to be kept in the iceless refriger-
ator. 1t holds In the moisture and keeps
the foods perky and fresh. The dry

taking care Of the end windows-only,
for then the little ones would appear
neglected. If there had been no wall
space 1t would have been possible to use
just the two pairs very nicely. The
valance across the top ties the entire
scheme together. In dining room an
arrangement such as this enhances the
scheme greatly.
Beneath the center windows may be
placed q buffet or serving table. II q
living room had windows such as this,
q sofa could be placed in front of them
without in any way interfering with
the .draperies.

Ink Poisoning.

Many Of the inks used In modern
printing processes are necessarily and
unavoidably poisonous or irritating to
the skin. Printers today suffer more
than ever before from skin troubles
chiefly, OF course, on the hands and
arms. Even mere readers who happen
TO be very sensitive sometimes suffer
from Q rash about the face, neck or
hands from just reading and handling
something printed in color.
Among the ingredients of inks pre-
sumably responsible for the skin irri-
tation In different cases are linseed oil,
used as vehicle of inks, especially
black inks, and least in brown ink: lead
chromates In all but black inks; Prus-
sian blue In green and black inks; ex-
cess Of lead sulphate; also calcium car
Donate and barium sulphate In all but
black ink. Bone black Is used In black
Ink. All inks tested have been found
free from arsenic and mercury. Perhaps
the dryers in inks are an important fac
tor Of skin irritation, as these dryers
dissolve the natural skin oil, which is q
good protective for the skin. Besides,
printers commonly use benzol for clean
ing plates, and this solvent is q severe
one on the skin, so severe that workers
using It should wear rubber gloves for
protection.
Here are some suggestions which
printers viii md helpful in preventing
trouble:
For cleansing the hands, mixture Of
sawdust and green soap Is preferable
to grit cleaners.
Each day before beginning work apply
to the skin Of hands and arms q little
lanolin or lanolin and castor oil, half
and half. This makes q fairly good
protective substitute for the natural
sebum or skin oil.
Each day at the close Of work scrub
up, using the sawdust-soap cleanser
and soft scrub brush, rinse and dry
the skin, and then apply another few
drops Of the lanolin-castor oil.
For the skin rash produced by inks.

Little Practical Joke
Broke Old Friendship

Brown and White (Which of course
are not their right names) not only
were near neighbors, but they worked
in the same office in the Times Square
district One Saturday Brown re-
ceived notice from his superior that
he would have to leave Immediately
for Chicago to close deal.
"Do me a favor" he said to White.
Il generally buy q couple Of books
for the wife to read over the weekend,
but can't do 1t now. VIII you stop
OF at the store and get couple for
herr She'll want them particularly
this weekend because she viii be lone
some"
White promised faithfully, but White
was a practical joker, and besides he
knew quite a bit about the Brown
household, including the fact that Mrs.
Brown did not shine particularly at
preparing meals. So, in sheer devil
ment, he bought two cook books, took
them to Mrs. Brown and intimated
that her husband had purchased them
and asked him to make the delivery.
When Brown returned home there
was the deuce to pay. He hasn't
spoken to White since, but he has
sent the latter a book devoted to
methods Of developing feeble minds.

Old Treasure Chamber

Few who explore Westminster abbey

most ancient and interesting parts Of
which they have never had a glimpse.
For instance, in the eastern cloisters
there is door so guarded against I'M
authorized intrusion that it can only
be opened by seven keys, which are
in the jealous custody of as many gov
eminent officials. Five of the key
holes of this wonderful door, which, by
the way, is covered with human skins,
are concealed from view by stout
iron bar which traverses it. This door
gives access to a vaulted chamber,
known as the "Chapel of the Pyx,"
the walls Of which were standing as
they stand today before even the Nor

chamber was once the treasury of
England, to which were brought ''the
most cherished possessions of the

First Steam Carriage
Met With Disapproval

The London Times reprints the fol-
lowing from It's issue Of August 3,
1929: A Gurneys steam carriage ar
rived on Monday, at the Crawford
Bridge inn, from an experimental tour
to and from Bath. The success Of this
trial much exceeds the most sanguine
friends Of the invention. Mr..
Quincy, his brother, Colonel Whey.
Captain Dobbln, and assistants started
from Crawford bridge about 4 a. m.
They proceeded at most rapid rate
to Maidenhead, which they reached,
notwithstanding two or three delays,
In about an hour and FIVE minutes--a
distance Of nearly fifteen miles. After
this proof Of their capability Of speed.
they Travelled more leisurely, until
they arrived near Malkshem where
they were attacked by some
brutal fellows, who. imagined they
were "come to take the bread out Of
their mouths" To prevent similar oc-
currences, 1t was thought advisable
to draw the carriage the remainder
of the way by horses. Having ex-
hibited the powers and practicability
Of the invention publicly in Bath, the
party left early on Monday morning
to return. Prudential considerations
induced them not to light their fire
until they had passed the place Of
their late annoyance. They then light
ed, and amidst the most provoking de-
lays in securing supplies of water,
coke, and charcoal, came the last "a
miles in about - hours, thus giving
the proof experimental Of the capacity
Of using steam carriages on our ordi-
nary roads.
