Not Sist ee Now and again you see two women passe ing down the street who look like sisters. You are astonished to learn that they are mother and daughter, and you realize that 4 a woman at forty or forty-five ought to be at her finest and fairest. Why isn’t it so?

Furs and Vanity. “Fur trimmed overcoats are an all the year round adjunct to a photo- grapher’s property room,” said the photographer. “Men’s vanity turns to furs just as surely as women’s does. They think they look better in a picture with a fur collar snuggling up around their faces. Most of them do, too. For years we have kept fur boas in stock throughout the summer for women to be photographed in. Now they have been joined by the fur trimmed coat. A temperature of 100 in the shade won’t drive a man away from that overcoat if he thinks it will 3 to his good looks.”’—New York un. A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.

From time immemorial, the im- provement of harbors, building of wharves, and provision, of the appur- tenances, necessary to enable a port to engage in deep- water traffic, have been at the expense of a nation, a province, a city, or other community. Such expenditure has been incurred in but few cases and at few places by private corporations. In the con- tinental countries of Europe even down to the present day this practice has undoubtedly been justifiable, inas- much as the seaports have often been the commercial metropolises, the en- trepots for merchandise collected for export or imported for distribution throughout a nation having compara- tively little interior commerce, de- pending for its prosperity in the main upon that moving by sea. This tradi- tional practice obtain@ even in the United States, where the domestic traffic is by far the more important, with the result that the national gov- ernment is continually besieged to im- prove one port that it may more suc: cessfully compete with another, which in turn makes demand upon the na- tional treasury.—Atlantic Monthly. At Last It Has Come. A furniture dealer in Paris is show- ing a novelty in the form of a bed, which is an improvement on a similar | one which attracted attention at the last Paris exhibition. It is to all ap pearances an ordinary bed, but the weight of the body upon it sets clock- work in motion, thus operating a mu- sic box which gives forth soothing melodies. The ‘lullabies which it plays are supposed to induce sleep. By means of a dial at the head of the bed the person who occupies it fixes an alarm for the next morning. This produces, when the hour arrives, discordant sounds, to which the per- son in bed must pay heed, because failure to rise within five minutes af- ter the noise has begun, will cause the bottom of the bed to fall out.— New York Tribune. | The Appetite Calls fot more Post Toasties Let .a saucer of this delightful food served with cream tell why’ “The Memory Lingers"” Pkgs. 10c. and 15c¢.

We modern Americans are the most unhappy people that have ever lived on the face of the earth, because we are the most prosperous people; we are the freest people; we are the most highly educated. Misery does not make people dissatisfied as much as prosperity. It is not those who are the most miserable nor those who lack the most of social or material wealth whose dissatisfaction over their condition breaks out into revolutions for reform. Take the great revolutions of modern history, the French revolu- tion or the civil war for example, and you will note that the respective coun- tries in which these agitations devel- oped were not ripe for revolution until they had come to a certain degree of prosperity, which developed the idea of personal rights and liberties. The main reason why, in my judgment, there will be no revolution in Russia for a long time to come is the fact that the common people of that coun- try are so miserable that they have been, and will be, unable to develop a dissatisfaction acute enough to break into forcible resistance.—Albion W. Small, in Leslie's. Awful Burning Itch Cured in a Day. “In the middle of the night of March 30th I woke up with a burning itch in my two hands and I felt as if I could pullthemapart. In the morn- ing the itching had gone to my chest and during that day it spread all over my body. I was red and raw from the top of my head to the soles of my feet and I was in continual agony from the itching. I could neither lie down nor sit up. I happened to see about Cuticura Remedies and I thought I would give them a trial. I took a good bath with the Cuticura Soap and used the Cuticura Ointment. I put it on from my head down to my feet and then went to bed. On the first of April I felt like a new man. The itching was almost gone. I con- tinued with the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment and during that day the itching completely left me.
