band I am rudely pushed from him
and told to act my age. My hair has
turned white under the strain and I
have artificial teeth, and he says,
Who the devil wants a woman with

AnSwer-What can you do about 1t
that won't make your situation worse2
To break up your home because OF
your hurt pride and your wounded
heart will not better matters. It will
simply be jumping out Of the frying
pan into the fire, as the honey old
proverb puts it. Certainly it is a
humiliating thing for wife to realize
that her husband is tired Of her and
would be glad to be rid Of her, but 1t
would be an even more humbling
thing to wish yourself on other peo-
pie for support on whom you have not
the claim that you have upon your
husband.
GO TAKE counsel with prudence and
- common sense rather than with
your anger before you take any dras-
tic steps. What would you do II you
left your husband? Have you any
trade or profession by which you could
support yourself and your child? You
are middle aged. Do you think you
could compete with the bright, quick
witted young girls? Have you parents
who are willing and able to provide
for you and your child?
Don't you think your husbands
temper and grouches and even his
philandering would seem o small thing
to worry over when you were agoniz-
ing over where the next meal was
coming from?
Why not use some philosophy in
dealing with your problem? If your
husband doesn't want to be kissed and
petted, for Heavens sake, let him
alone. II he doesn't want to talk with
you, leave him to sit up in silence of
an evening while you step out and
amuse yourself.
There are lots Of other people In the
world besides husbands and plenty Of
agreeable things to do besides trying
to propitiate one who gets kick out
Of saying mean things to you. Keep
your home clean and comfortable.
Feed the brute. Then regard him in
the light of boarder whose tantrums
you have to put up with because he
supports the house.
Better to endure the ills you have
than to fiy to those you know not OF.

to have a good time have been ruined
by the fact that have bowlegs. Can
any one help me get rid Of my ugly
legs? This deformity has made me
very self-conscious and am even
ashamed to 60 out on the beach in a
bathing suit because people laugh and
whisper about me. MADELINE.
Answer-Your beauty problem should
have been corrected years ago before
your bones hardened. You can, even
now, however, do something to i'm
prove your legs. Here Is an exercise
that you may do so times a day lnot
all at once): Stand erect with heels
an inch apart and toes pointed out
ward. Tense leg muscles and try to
force your knees together; hold the
tense position a moment and then re-
lax and repeat. Your knees cannot
touch, Of course, but you must try to
make them do so. Keep up the eXer-
else regularly for a year or more.
There are many ways to make bow
legs inconspicuous in these days of
long evening frocks and Stacks for
sports and the beach. In cases of ex-
IRENE deformity it may be advisable
to have q surgical operation t.
straighten the legs. OF course, the
work should be done by a first-claSs
surgeon. LOIS LEEDS.

harmful for my skin? When I wash
my face with soap is it better to use
my hands or a washcloth? A. B.
Answer-The cleansing cream is
not harmful If used merely for cleans
ing the surface CRIME and makeup
before the soap and water washing.
Use soft complexion brush or Turk
ish face cloth to rub up the lather
on your face. Rinse well. Follow BY
cold rinses for several minutes and

RARE COLLECTION
 OF WEDDING RINGS
M. A. Green Sponsors Most Unique Exhibit of
 Historical Interest

Wedding rings behind which lie centuries of tradition, romance and tragedy are now on display at the store of M. A. Green, jeweler, at 73 Grand street. The collection is one of the most unusual ever assembled both for the sheer beauty of the wedding bands themselves and the stories of love and hate, life and death connected with them.
 Some of the rings date back as far as the early Christian era, the fifth and sixth centuries. In the display are rings used by the an- cient Romans, the Hebrews. the English. Greeks and Germans. one ring is a reproduction of one dat ing from the 18th century and found in the ruins of Folkerngay castle. It is the band used by Mary, Queen of Scots, and her beloved Lord Darnley.
 A Roman wedding ring in a sig net effect with both the bride and bridegroom's names inscribed and used in the fifth century, is in the display. Other interesting exhibits
  ring, wrought of gold with a dome shape reproduction of wide band; an elaborate French ring with the inscription "It is spoken she holds me-; a seventh cen tury Saxon band found in sepAl- cher at Harnham Hill, England; a fifth century Roman wedding ring found in Swarthe. France; and beautifully inscribed: 18th century German wedding ring studded with precious stones, and inscribed What God has joined together let no man put asunder"; ; an Etruscan wedding ring with a mounted dove raised on a hand chased wide gold band and in- scribed God Helps" with the names of the bride and bride groom and the date of marriage. The inscription of the names and date is similar to that engraved on present day wedding bands.

Commissions Report
 Stirs Local Barbers
3l6 Shops Placed on Undesirable List-Recommend- ations no Prices to Be Debated at Convention Here

| by the special commission author ized by the last session of the leg islature to study trade practices, sanitary conditions and so forth in | Connecticut. The commission, in its recommendations, called for the closing of 316 barber shops in the 1 state becauce of unsanitary cond!- tions and 1t was feared that many places of business in Waterbury were affected.
 The commission also recommend ed . minimum proce of 40 cents | for a haircut and 20 cents for 8 shave In all barber shops. It Is fig i, ured that more than 60 per cent of the local shops would be affect ed by this regulation if 1t was put into force by the barber commits sion.
 Commission Named
 The closing of the 316 shops would mean the shutting up of ap- proximately Is per cent of the bar ber institutions in Connecticut. If Governor Cross approves the re- port, the state board of examiners is expected to make the recommen- dation effective and a part of Con- nectlcut's barber shop require ments.
 Therefore, when the state con- Vention of the Master Barbers' as- sociation of Connecticut takes place in Waterbury a week from Sunday the report of the special commission fig expected to be one if the outstanding matters up for discussion.
 The special commission arrived at it's conclusions after study of the 2107 barber shops in the state. In 547 shops it was found that conditions were fair. Unfair competitive practices were found in many instances and the profit of the average shop was discovered to be low, with v per cent of the shops making a profit of less than $25 a week. Thirty-three per cent of the shops are making less than $15 week, according to the com mission, necessitating low wages for the journeymen. 79 per cent of whom are earning less than $25 a week. Price-cutting was found by the temporary commission to be the reason for the depressed state of the barber industry.
 Recommendations
 Other recommendations of the committee were: Appointment of a deputy in each town over 10000 population and in each county to make regular inspection of shops in the territory; requirements of an annual health certificate from each licensed barber certifying he is free from contagious and in fcctious disease; that no owner of a barber school be permitted to charge for any service given by the student or apprentice in his employ; more strict enforcement of shop registrations; establish ment of headquarters for the state board of examiners in the state capitol with complete records and full-time clerk.

RAIN INFLUENCES
 CR0PSAM SOILS
Less Rainfall in WkAer Months Raised Yield
 on Treated PlatS

Weather conditiGS between October, 1884. and April, 1885. ap- parently influenced crop yields this summer. according to the re- port of H. G. M. Jacobson of the Agricultural Experiment Station at New Haven. Results of experi- ments in vegetable growing at the Windsor Substation indicate that less rainfall in the winter months raised the yield on plots treated with manure by an aver age of 52.4 per cent over the five previous seasons.
 "The Windsor vegetable experi- ment was planned to study the re- sponse of the leading vegetable crops to different types of fertiliza- ton on sandy loam soils typical of the level terrace lands of cen tral Connecticut" MT. Jacobson states. Average crop yields of radishes, spinach, lettuce, beets, carrots, onion sets and sweet corn are now available.
 For five years the crop yields ran along showing about the same results each season. Eight diff 
 tried. Six of them were com mercial mineral fertilizer, one stable manure with mineral fertil- ixer and one stable manure alone.
 Stable manure is applied in the autumn and is therefore subject to teaching or washing, by win ter rains. For five years by far the largest early crops were har- vested from plots treated with mineral fertilizer. This year the results were reversed. Crops from manured plots ran as much as as 50 per cent higher than in any previous season. They outyielded the crops produced by other treat ments as much as SO per cent.
 MT. Jacobson, soils expert, stu died the possible causes of this phenomena. Among other things he consulted the Windsor lysi- meter. an instrument which catch e the drainage from the soil af- ter . rain. He found that the amount of drainage between No vember, 1894 and April, 1885, had been markedly less than in any year since 1880. Consequently he concluded that az far as may be determined, the short winter rain fall was responsible for the excel lent vegetable crops on manured plots.
