profit between COWS giving n normai flow and those reduced io à seant flow.says Professor A.L.Haecker.Briefly this may be explain.+ in the following way: A thousand pound cow requires each day about twelve pounds of alfalfa nay to sustain ber.This Is termed the \u201cmaintenance\u201d part of the ration.If this cow ir producing thirty pounds of 3 per cent milk she will need about torty pounds of alfalfa hay per day to make the milk.This, added to the twelve pounds for maintenance, would mean she must receive fifty-two pounds of hay.The same figures in terms of grass would mean she must vat thirty-seven pounds of grass for malntenance and sixty-six pounds of wrass for production, or a total re quirement to keep up body and milk flow of 103 pounds of grass, which, under the present conditions, is a physical impossibility.This also illustrates the need of feeding grain to cows giving a large flow of milk when on pasture, for they need some condensed food in order to furnish enough nutriment for requirements.It is quite impossible for a cow to eat 100 pounds of gruss per day even on the hest of pasture.The unprofitable result from underfeeding may be explained as follows: Where cows ure given less food than they require for maintenance and milk production the milk production must suffer or the cow.Wortunately our cows protect themselves, and the re sult is tbe cows live, but gradually go dry.The man who would save money by saving feed comes to this sad end- ing-\u2014that be is simply boarding his cows.which receive only enough to maintain themselves and paturally give little or nothing for profit.lf his cows are receiving only enoogh food for maintenance and production equivalent to pay for food consumed and labor expended, then he is receiving no profit from his cows.This is why no man can afford to underfeed a milk cow.npd he had better sell bis animals thap attempt to carry on his business on this pian.Millet Hay For Horses.Millet makes a poor hay for horses if cut when the seeds are hard millet bay is likely to cause n disease like rheumatism or kidney trouble.Tbe hay is coarse and Is fair for cattle, but (nferior to either timothy or clover.It does best on strong, moist land.THE FLOCKMASTER.Caked Udder of Ewes.When caking of the udder of a ews js detected at the start it can be brought back into natural condition by the following treatment: First make applications of warm water at least three times a day a8 warm as the ewe van bear.should be dipped in the water snd thep spread over the udder.When a little rool repeat.This bathing should be continued at least five minutes each time.When bathing is finished wipe the udder dry.Have some pure hog lard warmed up and rub the udder with this gently.as bot as the ewe cap stand it.Do nor leave lard on the teats.Wipe it off wiih a dry cloth so that the lambs will suck again.Milk out all thick caked milk each time the application is made.Fatten Unprofitable Ewes.The ewes that bpve caked udders should vot be maintained ip the flock for another year for breeding purposes regardless of how good they may be.A ewe that has once hud a gore udder will have it again and perhaps worse the second time than the first time.&be should be fattened aod sold to the butcher.Selecting a Ram.In choosing # raw the breeder should not overlook thie fuer that It is ubso- jutely imperative

hundred would probably reply \u2018The Times.\u201d But they would be wrong, that is.if one may judge the importance of a newspaper by the official character of its news, The title really belongs to The London Gazette, the oldest and least read of any newspaper in the old cuuntry It is issued by the Government, and is the channel of communication between royalty, the Cabinet, and the people.Kings and Queens have written for it, while Cabinet Ministers are regular contributors.Its advertise ments are regulated by law, and Do great manufacturer could obtain Aa \u2018puff,\u201d even although he were willing to pay $50,000 a line for it.The Gazette varices considerably in size.Sometimes it consists merely of one page, and sometimes between 400 and 500.In one memorable week.in 1447-\u2014the \u201cRailway Year\u2019 \u2014so many Parliamentary notices had to be published that The Gazette for one week totalled about 3,000 pages; but the price always remains the same\u2014name- ly, 1s., and it is said to yield a profit of about $100,000 a year, in spite of the fact that it has never been sold at a railway bookstall and no newsboy has ever cried its name in the street Practically the only ple who buy it are Government officials and law- vers, The Gazette is the oldest and at the same time the youngest newspaper in the kingdom, as well as bein the most important.It was first pu ligh ed in 1665, in the reign of Charles IT, and has ever since appeared twice a week, with supplementary issues now and then if required.It was first published at Oxford, as the court was in residence there during the Plague, but when the latter abated it was brought to London, and for more than 130 years has been published by Messrs.Harrison, the well-known printers of St.Martin's Lane.At the same time, it is the youngest newspaper on account of the fact that it was only a few months ago that it contained the following announcement :\u2014 \u201cThis Journal has been registered at the G.P.O.for transmission by inland post as a newspaper.\u201d Previously it had been regarded as a Government publication only.and was dispatched \u201cQ.H.M.8.,\u201d in this way escaping postal charges altageth- er; but apparently the Government saw a way to reap a few extra halfpennies., An interesting illustration of the important position held by The Gazette before newspapers and telegraphs were what they are is furpished by the manner in which the péws of the Battle of the Alma was made public in 1854.The news was received by the Secretary of State on Saturday evening.There were no newspapers until Sunday, and it was important that the public anxiety should be allayed by the widest possible cireula- tion of such a piece of news.James Harrison was sent for, and the position explained to him when he reached Downing Street.He immediately thought of the theatres.There wers three of them open; why not have the telegram read out there?The plan was considered excellent.and Mr.Harrison returned to St.Martin's Lane, set up the news with his own hands, and sent men round to the theatres with early copies of The Gaz- ctte.\u2018See the manager,\u201d were the instructions to the messengers.\u2018Take no refusal, Insist on having the performance stopped by order of the Bec- retary of State while this news is read out.\u201d The men obeyed the order to the letter, and at Drury Lane and other theatres the scenes were historic.In the meantime Mr.Harrison made his a dis and communicate 6 glad tidings the Lord Mayor and sheriffs.te The Under Secretary for India.E.8.Montagu, the Under Becretary for India, who made a remarkably noteworthy speech in the British Com- mous recently, is one of the youngest members of the present Ministry.He t£ only thirty-one, and is a first cousin of Herbert Bamuel, the Postmaster- General.Mr, Montagu acted for soma time ux private secretary ta the Primo Minister, and he is a son of Lord Swaythling, who, before his elevation to the peerage, sat for many years as a Liberal member of the House of Commons as Sir Samuel Montagu.The Mantagus are great bankers, and Lord Bwaythling has plwayp been regarded as the lcader of the Jewish Lilerals, as Lord Rothschild is the leader of the most conservative element, Lord Swaythling is a grey-bearded veuerable-looking man, and perhaps his two most dominant characteristica are good nature and an appealing courtesy which is shown equally to the distingnished and to the abscure.Only the Young Ones Did.While the matinee hat problem is stil] unsolved in many parts of the Empire, the social conundrum was simply and expeditiously dealt with in Australia two years ago.Complaints had been showered upon the threatri- eal managers to such an extent that they arranged a conference.The following Saturday night, at all the theatres in Bydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth there was thrown on a cin- ematograph screen the following notice: \u201cLadies under & years of age are requested to remove their hata.\u2019 The theatrical managers up country varied the request according to their taste.At Ballarat the formula was: \u2018Ladies take your hats off, but keep your hair on!\u201d Thus was the '\u2018ridi- eulous hat\u201d killed in one night throughout the Commonwealth, A Vicar's Record.The death is announced of Rev.A.Tighe-Gregory, vioar of

Old Watch Turns Up.Sergt.Beni tt, of the 6th Lancers, recently in camp at Landguard, near Harwich, has had returned to him a watch that he lost in the South African war under very singular circum- stunces.He took part in the relief of Kimber ey with Gen.French's column, and in the course of the operations he had his watch stolen.e reported the fact to Bergt.J.Henderson, of the Cape Mounted Police, who discovered it a few days later, but Sergt.Bennett had then gone on to Paarde- berg, and Henderson, having failed to find his whereabouts, came to the conclusion that he had fallen in action.Henderson, who is now a tradesman in business at Felixstowe, which is close to Landguard, thought it worth while to inquire of some non-commis- sioned officers of the 16th Lancers, whom he met, whether anything was known as to Sergt.Bennett, and to his great surprise learned that he was in camp at Landguard.He accordingly sent for him, and Sergt.Bennett was handed back his watch, to his great gratification, Seeking Treasure Ship.A search was commenced the other week in the sea near the lighthouse on Great Orine\u2019s Head, Llandudno, for treasure amounting to $300,000, which is believed ta have lain burled beneath the waves for eighty six years.On Jan.1, 1824, the Hornby Castle, from Liverpool to Rio de Janeiro, was blown out of her course during a great gale, and at about midnight was dushed against the rugged rocks of the Great Orme, which at that point rise to : height of about 600 feet.Onl one of the crew was saved.In addition to general cargo the Hornby Castle had gold to the amount of $300,000 on board, and it was to endeavor to recover this the Lady Kate salvage stenmer, of Liverpool, arrived at Llan.dudno and started the search under the direction of John

content to make the most of their opportunities, instead of moving to free land in Saskatchewan or Alberta.Commissioner Coomb\u2019s Impressions The commissioner is accompanied on his present trip by Col.Lamb.who is in charge of the Army's emigration work in England, and the study of the problems involved in transferring thousands of people from one side of the globe ta the other is their chief concern.From their experience in the past and from the wider sphere of usefulness permitted by their grappling with the whole question of colonization and settlement these officers are in a position to discuss the immigration outlook with some degree of authority.Commissioner Coombs is unfortunately in poor health at present, and on that account he is not speaxing publicly.But he has intimated in a few sentences his impressions of the probable effect upon living conditions in the west of the rapid and continuous influx.His views are most encouraging.Families Live Nearer to Each Other in Manitoba at the present time.He does not find fault with what has been done in spreading the knowledge of \u2018scientific farming, but he believes that the present system does not go far enough.\u201cPractical demonstration,\u201d he says, \u201coughtto be made of the value of intensive farming.In Ontario it has keen demonstrated that with proper scientific methods and good care the fruit crop can be trebled.Farmers often think that they know it all, and it requires a great dial of effort to convince them that they do not.But there are men in the world who know more than they do.Experts must he sent out to show the farmers what may te done.To Improve Social Conditions The improvement of social conditions is, after all, the greatesj boon that can be conferred uprom fhe western farmers.Material gains may count, and they must ke a factor, but a man cannot be said to be happy, even with a fortune, when he is denied the ordinary opportunities of communing with his fellows.Studying nature is a beautiful theme, and it has its bright side.The touch of human companionship, however, is the element that helps to illumine the life of the plodding husbandman, and the rapid settlement of the plains is a development most comforting to him.Nor is the point of view of the man to be considered alone.The position of tho wo- Elgin, Que, aged 8 years and 38 months.Dr

the balcony she cried, \u201cMen, I am only a defenceless wo- man\u2014have respect for me in protecting the property entrusted to ny care.\u201d The answer came in a volley of stones, which rattled against the building, smashing glass, and extorting a cry of pain from Miriain who moved inside.Axes were being wielded at the stout oaken door, when the ery was heard that entrance had been effected from behind.The door was thrown open by those who had got in by the back entrance.The torches were piled in n heap and on top of them what brushwood, seats, and railings as lay to hand, and the blaze lit up the scene.It revealed several hundred men and boys, who swarmed into the stately mansion to pick up whatever was portable, and whose shouts and screams filled the air.In response to his pounding, Schuyler was helped out of his prison.He was in a towering rage of indignation and made straight for the leader to denounce Miriam as having stolen and concealed the gold.The result of the visits of the erowd to the wine-cellar speedily began to show.Hilarious shouts with snatches of song were heard and bottles were passed from hand to hand in drinking \u201cConfusion to the Tories.\u201d A barrel of beer was rolled out and tapped and with loosened tongues men began to boast of what they had found and show their plunder.The holding up of a silk purse, with gold in one end and silver in the other, found in a bedroom, excited jealousy, and the cry rose for their share of the gold in the Spy\u2019s bags.The assertion of one excited citizen, that the bags had been found and were being concealed by the big men to share quietly among themselves, was believed, and a score gathered round the leader, demanding immediate payment of their share, His denials lost force from Schuyler vehemently declaring he knew the bags were in the building, and his appeal to the boatman, who was one of the crowd, and who repeated his story of carrying them into the cellar.He had looked in the place where he had left them; they were gone, and somebody (with a nod at the leader) knew who took them.The wrangling was hot when a shout from behind the house was heard, and there appeared several men, two of them supporting Miriam.\u201cThat is her,\u201d screamed Schuyler, \u201cshe knows where the gold is\u201d When Miriam fled from the upper balcony she passed through the house with the intention of finding refuge in a clump of evergreens that grew in the rear.One of the stones thrown had struck her squarely on the forehead.She was dazed as she fled, then came a feeling of giddiness, and she fell in a swoon.Lads searching for plunder in the outbuildings saw her prostrate, shook her, roughly assisted her to her feet, and hurried her to the front.\u201cYoung woman, tell us where the gold is\u2019 Miriam looked round on the strange scene as one waking from sleep.The demand was repeated more sternly.\u201cThere are no bags of gold in the house,\u201d she slowly answered.\u201cYes there is,\u201d shouted the boatman and Schuyler, the latter adding, \u201cMake her tell.\u201d By this time all on the lawn had gathered round the group.\u201cPatriots,\u201d said Schuyler, assuming the tone of a stump-speaker, \u201cthe British spy came to that house last night with two leather-bags as full of gold as they could hold.The boatman here will swear to their weight and where he leït them.They never left this day, for I had, at my own cost, a man hired to watch, so that you would not be robbed of the spoil that is your right.I came myself in the evening to help him, afraid that the spy might get away in the dark, and when I forced my way into the house to arrest him this hold woman fooled me, to give the British spy time to escape with her leman, Morven, who deceived ne by pretending he was for the republic.But the bags are in the house yet, enough to give every one of you a score of guineas apiece, maybe more.We must force her to tell.\u201d When he stopped in his harangue Schuyler was white with passion, Excited by passion and their greed for gold, the crowd shouted approvingly and a voice cried, \u201cHang her.if she don't tell.\u201d The leader looked with some degree of compassion on her as he said in persuasive tones, \u201cYou had better tell and save yourself.\u201d Miriam with an effort roused herself.\u201cThere is no gold; it was taken by the officer when he left in the evening.\u201d hrieked Schuyler, and in his rage at t of the fortune he had been count- he clutched the girl by her dress h all his might.d the leader,

DIE AND H£VE BEG''N ANEW.The Archduke Johann of Austria Reported Lost ot Sea Is Believed to Be Still Alive \u2014 General Hector Macdonald Is S«id to Be In the Chinese Army\u2014O;:zar Wilde Is Declared to Be Still Writing.When 1 man has made a \u2018hash\u2019 of his life, one can easily understand how ardently be must long tn be able to start afresh, away from the scenes und ;cople tiat wave witnessed his folly.One is terrnt-d to speculate on this phase of hua an affairs on henr.ing that the Aus\u2018rinu courts have announced that + Aretideke Johann Salvator of Au -irin will be declured dead and Nis co opty di \u201cibuted unless auth tic oof of his existence is forthcoming within ~ix raonths, Austrian aretidultes scem born with a tendency to n»le à :iess of things, amd certiinly th: Archduke Johann did all that wes 'vunnly possible 10 bring about his + nn downfall, He qnarr-llel vit his relatives and the high offieinls about the court, he published ben's a versely criticizing the army, of vh:e he was an officer, and, finally, he contracted a secret marriare wit an actress, When this list indiscretion was discover «i, the oki Emperor was so angry that the archduke saw there was nothing for it but flight.He hurried ty London with his yourg wife, ruticed all his titles and dignities, a! assumed the name of \u201cJohan Orth.\u201d He bovght a sailing ship, which he named the Margarita after his wife, an in this way they sailed to Buenos Ayres, After nn stay of some weeks they left in the Margarita for Val- parniso, vin Cape Horn, and that is | the 11st that was ever seen of them.The idea has «ince gained ground that the archduke simply wanted to \u201cdisnppenr\u2019\u2019 in order that he might make a fresh start, and that he so arrangsd things that it would appear he bd gone down in th: Margarita.Innumerable people have since declared that they have seen him.He has been positively recognized in the South Sea Islands, Australia, Japan, and New Zealand.Nothing definite has ever been discovered, however.and now his heirs have decided to wind up his estate.There are one or two other \u201cdead\u201d people who are declared by rumor to be still alive.The most persistent of these rumors ig, of course, connected with the name of General Sir Hector Macdonald, who has becn declared most positively to be an officer in the Chinese army.Another group of people are equally emphatic in declaring that the genera] did not commit suicide in Paris as was reported, but these give Japan as the scene of his present labors.They can go so far ns to say that he is really none other than General Kuroki.Paris seems to be the centre for this sort of \u201cresurrection.\u201d Mr.Oscar Wilde is another who is said to have started life afresh by \u2018\u201c\u2018dying\u201d there.Every now and then the rumor crops up that he did not die in Paris as was reported, but is still alive and is still writing.Yet another case from Paris is that of Col.Henry, who became notorious in connection with the Dreyfus case.Col.Henry had risen from the ranks, and after a very creditable military career he was appointed chief of the French \u2018\u2018espionnage\u2019 department.He first leaped into wide celebrity when, during the Zola trial, he called Col.Picquart a liar.A duel was fought between the two officers as a result of this episode, and Col.Henry was wounded.Later he professed to have obtained from the servant of a high personage fragments of a letter that seemed to point to Dreyfus\u2019 guilt.After this document had been published with much joy by the anti-Dreyfus party, M.Cavaignac, the Minister for War, sent for Henry and cross-examined him.Henry became restless and embarrassed, and finally, to the horror of the Minister, he admitted that he had forged the incriminating document.There was nothing for it but to arrest him, and almost immediately after he had been placed in the prison of Mont Valerien, Paris,\u2014and, indeed, the world\u2014was startled to hear that he had committed suicide.Some little time ago, however, the curious rumor went round that the suicide had been \u201cfaked.\u201d Another extraordinary case is that of the Emperor Alexander I.of Russia, who died very suddenly at Tagan- rog.Various accounts of his death have been given, and though it is now generally accepted that the symptoms of his last illness point to natural \u2018causes, rumor was long busy suggesting murder or suicide.A still more surprising story gained a certain amount of credence at the time.This was to the effect that the Emperor did not die at Taganrog, and that the coffin that was ceremoniously consigned to the imperial vaults contained nothing but stones.He had seen his country invaded by foreign foes, and the shame of it is said to have preyed on his mind during the latter part of his reign; in consequence of the many conspiracies and secret societies prevalent in Russia, the Emperor became more suspicious and unhappy.He decided, so the story goes, to free himself from the trammels of state.He achieved this end by means of a mock death and funeral, and thenceforward became a wanderer in the wilds of Siberia.A\\Correction.The habit of contradicting sometimes \u2018\u2018o\u2019erleaps itself\u201d unwittingly.\u201cI've heerd it said,\u201d remarked a lounger at the

are hatched from eggs, arriving in batches of from thirty to eighty.The poisonous snakes, on the other hand, are born in litters of from seven to eleven in number.There are exceptions to the rule, of course, but they nrr few a unimportant, for though the deadly Ling cobra lays her ery.to be hat nd by the sun, they are few in nwuber, unlike the colonies du, A by the harmilcss snakes.LAV\"E# IN

office.According to the lawyers\u2019 code of the 1st of July, 1878, a lawyer is charged publicly with certain duties.He is obliged io have his residence in the town or district where be is appointed (so called residence duty).Further, be must conduct himself in and out of office tn u way befitting his professional and social standing\u2014i.e., duty due to bis eank.Thus a lawyer is forbidden to advertise in newspapers.by capvassing, ete, or to buy or take over a practice already made as belug unworthy of his calling.His position in society is between officluls and scholars, and througb cus- tenus and law lie is compelled to keep the \u2018position to tbe last degree.This vompulsion to keep one's rank bas piven rise to the existence of com- wittees called anwiltskamimern, whose duty it ix to keep a strict watch that noe lawyer dixhonors bis calling.These committees have a strict code of punishment.runging to complete expulsion from office In this way the lnw- ver in Gernuiny have u

have to darn their own stckings have given up wearing pum;.The slipping up and down on the heels would wear out any stockings in a Clay, and there was not time at the ond of the week to keep them mended up, Tf trouble is still experienced with all eve: ing slippers and also the Oxford tics it is an excellent plan to bast a sn.all square of black silk on the outside of.the stocking just where the hoe riths, This will be found a wonderful relief as regards the knowing that the heel of one's stocking is sure to be quite whole, and it will also save the lining of the shoe iteslf.When the stocking is rubbed to a hole the creases in turn wear out the lining of the shoe.Just as soon as a shoe lining has become worn it should be taken to be mended.For a very small amount a shoe or slipper can be entirely relined, if necessary, and this will save the stockings extraordinarily.Many girls now have a hit of suede placed at the inner side of the heel of the shoe, thinkin+ it will help to keep a low shoe from slipping.A girl who finds she gets unreasonably tircd and has constant backaches from walking on city pavements may be reasonably sure that the last of her shoe is wrong for her and that the heel is either tno high or placed too far forward.llubber heels are also great fatigue savers in a city.fur summer © hite canvas and white buckskin are generally worn with white gowns, but for the morning russet shoes and stockings are equally smart for young girls.To get their brown shoes to a good color they should take the trouble of always cleaning and polishing them themselves.If it is desired to keep the leather light in color the shoes should be rolished as seldom as possible and the polish allowed to dry thoroughly .when first applied before being rubbed.Tt is more fashionable nowadays.however, for the tan shoes to reouire as quicklv as possible a dark reddish hue.A banana peel rubbed ew) over the surface and the leather allowed to dry out well before being shined with the liquid polish will dai ken the shoes rapidly, and a few application of sweet oil will give_the sare r.sult and also help to make the leather waterproof.The liquid polish aad the pnste must be put on very ev nly to avoid marking and staining, andl a clean rag and soft brush should always be used, Special shoe polish- in gloves are now to be bought, which greatly simplify the process

in\u2019 the district adorned by the residence at Col.Denison.In a shaded doorway stood one locul merchant looking .out into a hot and unprofitable world.There was little to see that was interesting, except that now and then as a car clattered past the man in the doorway recognized an acquaintance among the passengers, with whom he listlessly exchanged signals, admit ting their mutual existence.Presently along College street came a one-horse wagon driven by a whiskered collector of rags, bones and bottles.The driver of the vehicle was m+king good time, as if he had heard ot a place a mile away where he could get something for nothing.Ar the vehicle bustled past the store a cut, having.for some reuson of its own, decided that it wanted to cross the rood, undertook to do so, but mis- calculuted in some way, and a wobbly wheel crushed it to death.The driver.with a frightened look back at the slaughter he had done; struck his horse und shoved on the reins.With a shout the man in the door- w:y sprans into the street, and de- munded that the slayer of euts should stop.Two blocks shend a policeman emerged from beneath a shude tre and sauntered down, drawn by the anny shout of the merchant, UT.rags, bones and bottles man pulled up his horse, declaring with voice, hands, and uplifted eyebrows that he dic t mean to do it and was not to ale, \u201cWhy,\u201d said the shopman,

There is a clever beauty specialist who gives her clients this long desired giftie She has a dummy made exactly 1tke the figure of each client, show- in: with cruel plainness the rounded shoulders, the thickened waist line, the beavy hips and clumsy Hmbs.Then she bus another dummy showing the woman as she ought to be.The contrast is always instructive, and the desire for improvement is increased, A course of corrective gymnastics, reg- ulir exercise in the open air and care- fui dieting follow.Each day comparisons are nade, and as she grows to be less like ber old self and more like the perfect figure the enthusiasm of the patient grows, \\When at lagt she is all beauty and symmetry she is not allowed to throw away the ugly dummy.but must keep it as an awful warning of \u201cwhat has been and what may be again.\u201d The Clothesbrush.Often ou miady's dressing table tbe clothesbrush, with its plain wooden handle (for the silver backed brushes always have bristles entirely too soft), is the only unattractive object.One way of bringing it into harmony with its surroundings is to cover the back with brocade or broche silk.First sandpaper the wood, so that it will take mucilage better, and then paste the silk, which bas been cut out to the exact shade und size, on to the brush back, applying the give only nt the edges, so as to Insure smoothness.This rough edge should be fastened and finished off by a border of gimp or of metal galloon.- Flowered silk or a color to match brush thus treated makes an attractive gift and one that wili be appreciated by the dainty woman.Cretonne, by the way, or even small figured chintz may take the place of the silk if the former is used elsewhere ib the bedroom furnishings and accessories.Homemade Perfume.The French extract the perfume of roses by means of grease, and an adaptation of their method would form an interesting little experiment that could be made at home, Get a shallow wooden box, fairly tight, with a sheet of glass to ft it.In the box upon & dish lay a thick layer of rose leaves, Cover the inside of the sheet of glass with a thin layer of vaseline.Place over the box and let it stand for twen- ty-four hours.In that time the vaseline will have absorbed the perfume of the rose leaves.Throw away the leaveseand put in a fresh layer and let it stand for twenty-four hours again.Allow three separate layers of leaves: to one layer of vaseline.Scrape off the vaseline, put it in a jar and pour alcohol over it.Just as the vaseline has absorbed the roses\u2019 perfume so the spirit will capture it from the vaseline.The Latest Beauty Tip.One of the very latest fads in the beauty making line, a bath of salt sea sand, has beep adapted from the French.The sand is rubbed and sernbhed over the one wbo would retain her youthful looks by her maid, il she hus not the strength or inclination to do it herself.The bath is taken un a rubber sheet on the bathroom fhuut, und the sand, which must first be heated, ts rubbed in in handfuls.After the rubbing the patient, 1f she may be 80 cilied, rolls from side to side in tbe sund for the good of her hips.Next the sand Is blown over her with a huge spray puff.cream is rubbed in, she i# massaged and finally left to sleep, It Is sald that this treatment makes rosy cheeks and banishes wrin- kivs and supertiuvus weight, The rates for the Gleaner for transient advertisements are 50 cents per inch for {iret insertion and 2b cents per inob for each subsequent insertion.No notice taken of Cards of Thanks and other short advertisements unless accompanied by the price, which may be remitted In poste age stamps, Obituaries and resos lutions of condolence, reports of marriage anniversaries, and the Hie, 5 conta a lime, No edvertises abt BOWEEER ah GONSIOR: tEKtian the other toilet belongings is best, The - y "]
