Photo by American Press Association.
Last summer there was n baby pa
rade at Jersey City, and among its
many beautiful and interesting ex
hibits was Master John Lamon, who
masqueraded as a hodcarrier. John
was one of tho hits of tho parade. In
deed, ho created more laughter than
anything else in line. Since then John
and his hod have been In demand for
numerous entertainments in which
children took part. So recently as
Christmas John appeared at a costume
Bhow given by a settlement house in
Now York, and needless to say ho was
hailed with delight by all beholders.
John is a good natured lad and Is
pleased whenever he can contribute to
tho happiness of others. Doubtless he
nnd his hod will bo seen many times
this winter in his comical makeup.
Autographs of Noted Men.

vnnces in the direction that he Imagines
the stake to be, then halts and strikes
vigorously at the pot In the endeavor
to break it nt tho first blow.
Each player may hnvo three trials,
but must return to the starting place
for each stroke. A special prize may
bo offered for the one who succeeds nt
the first attempt.
. It Is very funny to see how far from
tho objective point tho player will wan
der nnd how earnestly ho will strlko
luto empty space.
What the Ears Indicate.
The thin, angular ear is said to de
note bad temper and cruelty.
Small nnd thin ears usually denote
delicacy and refinement.
As ago increases the ear becomes
more angular nnd marked.
Peoplo witli musical tastes generally
have largo and prominent ears.
Abnormally large, thick ears nro ns
soclated with a sensual nnd coarse na
ture. Great philosophers and statesmen
have been noticed to have largo and
sloping cars.

TIMELY HINTS
F!
Source, of Hog Troubles.
Hog troubles are due to too much
dirt and too much corn, says Kansas
Farmer. Corn is n fat producer, but
not a muscle builder, and an exclusive
corn diet during the growing period
not only falls to supply the elements
needed by the nnimal, but is produc
tive of digestion troubles and weak
nesses in the system which invite
disease. Corn Is n good element in the
ration of any hog at any time. There
Is nothing better, but It must be bal
anced by alfalfa, clover or some other
nitrogenous feed during the growing
period of pigs and the breeding periods
of hogs. There is only one period In
the life of the hog when an excluslvo
corn ration should bo used, and that Is
at the last end of the fattening period
of market hogs. There is no time in
the life of n hog when lie should not
have clean, dry sleeping quarters aud
pure drinking water. Both worms and
cholera come with filth.
Phosphorus For the Land.
Phosphorus can be secured In no
other way than to buy it. In Its cheap
est form it costs 3 to 4 cents a pound.
There are seventeen pounds In 100
bushels of corn. If fifty bushel crops
are raised about 30 cents per acre
annually would restore tho phosphorus.
This is merely the cost of maintenance,
and the fertility would not increase.
As this element usually limits the crop,
more should be applied than is taken
off. It is considered that 1,000 pounds
of raw rock phosphato applied per acre
once in four years is a reasonable ex
penditure, building up the soli rapidly
and profitably. This will supply phos
phorus about twice as fast as it will be
removed In large crops. Illinois Farm
ers' Institute.
Live Stock and Fortility.
It Is not impossible to build up n
wornout farm without mnklng live
stock raising a feature, but it Is much
easier to do it with live stock and, we
think, unquestionably more profitable,
says Farm and Itanch. Live stock
raising requires n diversified system of
crops, especially of legumes, which
greatly assist in restoring tho laud in
nitrogen, the element most likely to bo
needed; the animals consume the feed
raised on tho farm and reduce tho loss
in fertility elements by returning to
the soil the manure from animals.
SHIPPING EGGS
BY PARCEL POST
Regulations Prescribed
Postoffice Department.
The inauguration of the parcel post
system should serve to greatly stimu
late the business of producing, selling
and shipping by innil sittings of eggs
intended for hatching purposes. For
local delivery it will bo an easy mat
ter to send table eggs in almost any
numbers. But in sending a distnnco
the law provides special regulations ns
to packing. Following are the exact
terms as prescribed by the postoffice
department:
Eggs will bo accepted for mailing
regardless of distance when cacli egg
Is wrapped separately and surrounded
with excelsior, cotton or other suitable
material and packed In a container
made of double corrugated pasteboard,
metal, wood or other suitable material
In such manner as to placo each egg on
its end and to prevent them from strik
ing together or ngainst the side or top
of the eoutniner, with an outer cover
of double corrugated pasteboard, metal,
wood or other suitable material, and
wrapped so that nothing can escape
from tho package. All such parcels
must bo labeled "Eggs."
Sheep Easily Wintered.
Sheep are moro easily wintered than
any other stock. I hnve a long shed
in which I keep tho sheep during cold
weather. Hay nnd screenings make n
good, cheap food that gives satisfac
tory results. I feed the sheep all the
hay they will clean up nicely and ouo
pound of screenings per head. I also
feed somo roots every day. It does
not pay to neglect tho sheep during
the winter, as such treatment is bound
to affect the Iamb crop. Sheep must
hnvo plenty of room, und tho shed In
which they nro kept should bo largo
and then the sheep not crowded. My
biggest profits in this business aro
mado by having enrly lambs, which
commaud high prices. J, Rising, Todd
County, Minn.
Saving the Manure.
Save nil the manure nnd apply it
where it will do tho most good. One
reason why there are so many poor
farms is because there is so little ma
nure to mako the land richer. This
Iso explains why thero nro so many
poor farmers.
Air tho Henhouse,
After n severe spell of cold weather
the poultry houses should be aired nnd
ventilated, for during tho cold weather
n danipness arises from the ground nnd
congeals in the house in the form of
frost.
Milady's
Mirror
Style Versus Beauty.
"Handsome is us handsome does" is
a good old fashioned axiom, and beauty
of soul is a lino thing; so is being good
henrtod. Many a plain looking woman
has found consolation in the two latter
attributes. In ancient Greece thero
were two kinds of women, tho Venuscs
nnd tho Mlnervas. When Venus frown
ed on one consolation was sought lu
Mlnerya. One Is nlways a MIncrvn
from second cholco. Venus sits back in
a porch rocker, calm, cool nnd screno
In the knowledge that her hair won't
got out of curl, her complexion won't
blow off nnd she doesn't have to talk
Just a smile, and everybody basks lu It.
Minerva works hard, her hair is limp,
her nose is shiny, and she can't keep
cool because she engages In heated ar
guments. Vcuus marries tho million
aire and rides in n chaise; Minerva
marries the professor nnd darns stock
ings. What n giddy world it would bo
if women were nil Venuscs, for it is un
doubtedly tho Mlnervas who aro tho
balance wheel of society.
In modern days the next host thing
to being a Venus, if one cannot be n
Minerva, is to bo stylish.
What is His seemingly indefinable
thing cnllcd style? What is It that dif
ferentiates one woman from another?
Why Is it that one woman will bo styl
ish and the other dowdy, though gown
ed In the same manner? Why will a
pretty woman often palo Into insignifi
cance beside her plainer sister? One of
the flrSt things when the desire Is born
to bo stylish or smart looking, as the
English say, is to feel stylish. This is
easier than to feel beautiful, ns is oc
caslonally advocated. Tho feeling thnt
one has style Is bracing. Unconsciously
the body straightens, the head goes up
nnd the step becomps smarter nnd
brisker.
Another point to consider in this
nchlovomeut is the polso of the body.
She who slinks along nnd shufiles her
feet will never nttaln tho desired end,
if stylo bo her desire. Much has been
accomplished when once you have
thrown your shoulders back, your head
up nnd ncquired n smart step, for tho
proper carriage and walk aro the foun
dation of style. '
Beauty Hints For Travelers.
For the traveler there is a neat little
case In pink linen, which is more prac
tical than silk, because It can take
many vlsita to the laundry without in
juring Its usefulness. This little case
when unrolled displays pockets for the
soap, talcum powder, cold cream, tooth
powder or paste nnd toilet water. It
will save many precious minutes in the
dressing room of tho Pullmnn sleeper,
though it costs only $1.50.
Another article which Is sure to bo
appreciated by the traveler and there
nro few not among this number these
days Is the manicure set, with all the
necessary little implements packed
compactly into the buffer. This does
away with those vexatious moments
when the hurried traveler searches
madly among the dozen nnd one nr
tides In the bottom of tho bag for the
nail file or perhaps the orange stick.
By pressing the catch nt the side of the
buffer the top springs up, revealing
n velvet lined compartment containing
n pair of scissors, half n dozen emery
boards, a duplex file, an orange wood
stick, n box of nail luster and nnother
box of the salve. Close the catch and
,tho buffer is ready for use. Many wo
men buy them nickel plated for $2 to
keep In the bathroom, whero tho guest
may use them easily and whero they
will not take up the room that the dif
ferent nrtlcles would If spread out
separately. Tho silver plated set costs
$2.50 nnd the solid silver $0.
Care of the Body.
Castile soap and orris root in equal
parts make n cleansing nnd fragrant
tooth powder.
Don't rub tho fnce with too coarse a
towel. Treat it as you would the finest
porcelain, tenderly and delicately.
A little carbolic ncid added to the wa
ter in which burns, bruises and cuts
aro washed greatly lessens the sore
ness. ltoewater, four ounces, and a third
of an ounce of tincturo of benzoin havo
tho quality of bringing the blood to
tho surface of tho skin and giving it n
dcllcnto pink color.
To make camphorated oil beat four
ounces of camphor In a mortar with
four ounces of Florence oil till tho
camphor Is dissolved. This is an ex
cellent liniment for rheumatism and
nil kluds of sprains.
Toilet Suggestions.
If tho cuticle nbout your nails seema
tough and there Is a tendency to
"hangnails' rub in a llttio vaseline or
cold crenm every night beforo retir
ing. To whiten finger nnlls and Improvo
the hands cut a fresh lemon in two
and rub it well at night. Wash off in
warm wnter tho next morning. This
same treatment is excellent for stains
on tho hands.
Astringent lotions should be used to
reduce the large pores of tho skin,
which become clogged with dust and
grime. These disfiguring pores are
especially noticeable across tho nose,
often extending over the cheeks. If
allowed to go without checking agents
these pores develop into blackheads,
than which thero is no greater enemy
to beauty.
