WAYS WOMEN HAVE
"My wife Horn." said Cnjoncs tho
other day at lunch to his friend Ker
amlth, "Is n hummer. She's taken tno
to tho museum. I'm a regular art
rrltic now. I'm thinking of getting out
a certificate in that line and hanging
It up over my desk."
"It would look funny along with tho
other things you've got hanging there,"
said Kersmlth. "Ilut tell mo nhout
your time."
"Well, it was this way," began Ca
jones. "Last Sunday afternoon Hern
says to nio, 'George, I want you H go
out to tho art museum with mo this
afternoon.'
'"For heaven's sake,' says I, 'what
for?'
" 'What for?' she repeated Just like
an echo. 'Why, to soo art and pic
tures and statuary and so come under
tho ennobling inllueuces of tho ideal
and tho beautiful.'
"'Go way,' says I in disgust. 'I'm
going to read tho paper, and then I'm
going downtown.'
" 'George Cajoncs.' she says, straight
ening herself up and looking at mo
square, 'you will go out to tho art
museum with me or you will stay at
homo. I'm not going to have It said
that my husband isn't as highly edu
cated as any of tho other club's hus
bands, nnd they all said they were
going to have art discussed in their
homes, and things like that, and I'm
determined wo shall too.'"
"What'd you say to that?" put in
Kersmlth, with a grin.
"Oh, I Just thought that utter all
there might bo some fun in it," replied
Cajouos, "so I Just laid the paper on
the table nnd said, 'All right.' I've
discovered that tho best way to man
age women is to let 'em think they're
having their own way."
"Yes, of course," said Kersmlth, "but
go on."
"Well, wo got there," ho continued,
"and the first thing wo wore taxed to
get in. Say, that show ought to bo
free to tho public. It is in New York.
Hcl'n says, and other places too. It
was fine, though, when you got In.
The main hall Is full of statues stand
ing around on blocks and looking as
If they wished thoy wore some place
else. Ilel'n said they were Greek.
Those Greeks must have been dandles.
Every one of them was lots more than
six feet high, nnd they had muscles
that looked as If they were all gymna
sium trainers for a living. There were
some queer looking women statues,
some of them without heads and some
with wings, nnd sonio had their arms
or may bo half an arm outstretched;
looked to inu like tho men were all
training for races or fights or some
thing, and the women were urging
them to go on or else begging them
to stay at home, I qouldn't tell which.
"But, say, though, there's one thing
you ought" to go out there nnd see.
Jim. One statue, or I guess you'd cull
It a group of statues, is a terror
There's three men and a brace of big
snakes, and I tell you they're having
a time."
"I believe I'll go out nnd look at
that some time," said Kersmlth.
"What else did you see?"
"Oh, heaps of things," replied Ca
joncs. "Ilel'n Insisted on dragging me
through a room tilled up with gold
and silver candlesticks nnd vases and
things. 'Are these tho elevating and
emiobling things you were telling mo
about?' I says. 'For tho feeling they
inspire in me is tho desire to smash
tho glass and take a few away with
mo.'
" 'George,' says she, 'you have no
high ideas about things. These beau
tiful creations aro poems,' says she,
looking tho way she does when she
tries on a new hat before tho glass.
"'That may be,' says I, 'but I
wouldn't mind having this silver bath
tub to sell.
" 'Gracious, George,' she says, 'that's
a wiuo cistern! Can't you read the
label?'
"Well, we went upstairs and saw a
lot more things ivory chessmen and
lots of vases, and things like that.
There was a plaster cast of Napoleon's
face, made after he was dead. I be
Hove it was a fake. It didn't look a
bit like him when he was alive. Then
we saw an Egyptian mummy. Say,
those are tho things that make you
feci queer those old boys, been
burled hundreds and thousands of
years, and there they are, Just as If
they were grinning at you. You can
see their teeth, Jim. They must have
been false or they wouldn't last all
this time. Ilel'n says, 'Now, we'll go
In and see tho pictures,' but I drew
tho lino there. I'd seen enough. 'I
really don't think I'd better, my dear,'
says I. 'The strong lights and tho
bright colors are so trying to my eye
sight.'
" 'Oh, you poor dear!' says she, fall
ing right In. 'Of course you oughtn't
do anything to lwjuro your health.'
"So after we'd seen a few more
beautiful creations wo went homo.
"But, say, Jim, I forgot to tell you
about the rug department. That was
really nice."
"Tho rug department?" said Ker
smlth blankly.
"Yes, whero they havo nil tho rugs,
you know. They havo them hanging
up on tho walls all around. Tho colors
aro not very good some of them look
pretty faded, I must say and there
aro not any fringes on thom, but the
patterns aro all right Ono of tho labels
said that theso rugs wcro hung nil
round tho walls In tho castle years
ago. Funny thing to do, wasn't it?
I'm glad that isn't tho fashion now,
It would kill tho wall paper trade, and
wo still have to eat,"
"George," said Kersmlth solemnly,
"I'm going out there next Sunday
Maybo I can got somo tips on the mar

THE PERFUMED BATH
KEFRESniNG TONICS
MADE AT HOME,
EASILY
The Benefits to bo Derived from
Camphor, Oatmeal, Milk and Soda
Bntlis Particularly Commended 1
for Deprcsslngly Dot Weather. j
I
A delicately perfumed bath of .
Eoftened water is a tonic that Im
proves the texture of tho skin and
Improves tho complexion. Tho ex-,
pense of such a tub need not neces
sarily bo large, and the refreshment I
irom It Is great owing to tho relaxa-;
tion of the nerves. ,
A Camphor bath Is the ono to be I
commended for the deprcsslngly I
arm days of u rum or. It Is made '
from a mixture of an ounce of tine- ,
turo of camphor, half as much tlno- '
turo of benzoin, and two ounces of j
toilet vinegar, Such a bath as this I
may bo taken In tho morning, at
night, or, If preferred, In tho after-
noon. Better effects will bo gained
if the Immersion Is taken at such ,
time as to permit of lying down for !
talf an hour or so afterward.
A vomnn wno Is fortunate enough
tc npend her summer on a farm
where milk is plentiful should not
I ..so tho chanco to ndulged In milk
baths, for nothing will moro quick
ly soften and whiten tho skin than I
this slmplo wash. A tub not being
always at hand In tho country, It may j
be necessary to use a basin. In i
either raso tho solut'on need not bo !
more than half milk, aand tho water i
should bo hot enough to warm i
tho milk sufficiently to inako it
a
comfortable tomnoraturo. No soap
Is used -n a soap cloth, rather than
a orubh should bo used in applying It.
A strong tonic bath is made by
mixing a pound of muriate of soda
with half a pout d of sulphato of so
da and a quarter of a pound each of
chlorides of ilme and magnesia.
These Ingredients may bo put into
tho tub and water poured on to dis
solve them. Thon tho tub must be
lllled In tho usual way. This par
ticular tonic should not be used of-
toner t..an once a wecV, or Its ef
fect upon tho skin will bo drying.

ing five pounds of any of tho "steam
ooked variety o oarineal to a
pound o: powdered orris root to a
pound of almond meal, and half a
pound of castlle soap scraped. A
small quantity Is then sewed into a
cheesecloth bag and ono of these
may bo used several times by tossing
It into tho bath for fifteen minutes

Old-Time Recommendation.
"All of our ancestors," said a phy
sician, "were pock marked, and
smallpox was a recommendation if
you wero looking for work.
"What J mean Is that you couldn't
get a Job If you had not had small
pox. No one wanted a servant who
was liable at any niument to be
stricken down w'th tho loathsome
disease." Hence: :
Ho opened a newspaper volume of
1774.
"Hence, 'help wanted' ads read
like this:
"Wanted a man between twenty
and thirty years of age, to be a foot
man and under butler In a great
family. He must havo had tho small
pox in the natural way. Also a wom
an, middle aged, to wait upon a
young lady of great fortune and
fashion. Tho woman must have had
the smallpox In the natural way.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.
To Sew Hoolca on Dresses.
In sewing on nooks, whether used
in connection with eyes or peets, al
ways spread the hooks, all sizes, be
fore sowing on; it not only makes
tho strain come'on different parts of
the material, but it prevents them
from pushing forward and showing
at the edges of collars, plackots and
such things.
When sewing them on a boned lin
ing the bone can be slipped between
the front curves and tho back of the
hook, after they have all been sewn
on, making It very taut, thus saving
tho labor of fastening the bono In
the usual way. It must, of course,
be fastened at elthor end after It Is
inserted, otherwise it will come en
tirely oft during the process of hook
ing tho dress.
For a Doublo Chin.
Tho aindom ch.n Is ono of tfcp
most determined tell-tales of ap
proaching age. To rid yourself of
this chin with social tendencies one
should massage the throat each
night. The method prescribed Is to
egln at the point of tho chin and
rub hard toward each ear. Tho fin'
ger tips should be together at the
beginning of tho motion and should
tbon push -away from each other.
Repeat tho motion under tho Jaws
and remomber to alwayo rub upward,
Either cole cream or an astringent
lotion should be used. Bo sure that
during the massage tho head bo
held well tip.
To Induce Sleep.
If you cannot sleep well, try eat
ing an onion sandwich early In tho
evening. Slice tho onion thin, nprln'
klo with salt and place between two
Bllces of thin bread and butter.
A man may feel that he Is stand

A Qood Definition.
In ono of tho New York schools sev
eral of the children In one class failed
on the definition of the word bachelor.
The teacher, to Impress tho meaning
of tho word on the minds of tho pu
pils, told the class to look up tho word
that night nnd come prepared with n
good definition the next day.
When the question was taken up nt
the next session the first llttlo girl
who was asked to define tho word an
swered with a confident and smiling
air, "A bachelor Is a very happy
man."
The teacher grow Interested. "Are
you sure that Is correct?" sho asked
the little one.
"Oh, yes," wns tho prompt reply.
"Father told mo so."
Knew Who Used It.
Charles U. Hoyt, Now England's
great playwright, once visited a smnll
town in Pennsylvania whero there is
a hotel thoy say George Washington,
tho Father of Ills Country, used to
stop at when ho passed through. In It
they havo n room he Is said to havo oc
cupied nt times.
Hoyt came through there onco with
one of his attractions. He arrived at
tho hotel nfter nil tho members of tho
compauy hnd boon assigned rooms.
Ono of the company was given tho
Washington room, and Hoyt received
a poor room on tho top lloor, tho pro
prietor not knowing who he was.
When ho caino downstairs later the
gentleman who had got tho good room
said, "Mr. Hoyt, they havo given me
tho room that they used to give 'Joorgo
Washington when ho came here."
"Well," said Hoyt, "tho one they
have given me must be the ono they
gave Deuodlct Arnold when ho came."
A Stickler For Rules,
Billy Grimes was a sailor, and he
know a sailor's duty and how to obey
orders. Off a foreign port one night
Billy Grimes leaned over tho side in
answer to a hall.
"Ahoy!" he said.
"Ahoy!" was tho reply. "Lower
down your ship's ladder, shipmate."
"You can't como aboard here to
night," said Billy.
"Lower nway, you lubber," said the
voice below impatiently. "Iimust come
aboard. I'm tho rlvor pilot."
"I don't care." said BUly, "If you're
Punchus Pilot, I'll stick to tho ship's
rules."
Top Eager For Work.
Dr. John S. Bulst, the southern sur
geon, said In ono of his surgical lec
tures at a state college:
"It Is always in rather bad taste for
a physician to boast of being busy.
Physicians, undertakers and gravedlg-
gcrs only cause discomfort when they
alludo to good times and prosperity.

the price, finally accepting It
"'But will I get steady work? he
