The beauty of the cheek Is oftenor
destroyed by the loss of teeth than by
tny other cause. This, therefore, 1h
an additional reason for taking good
ice of thPHR features whoso nerleet-
ess of condition Is essential to every
1 1 andsome face. The teeth, tndjed, are
I given, us not only for the purposes or
I mastication, and to assist us in speak
ing, but to help us preserve tho beauty
md contour of the face.
It Is most Important that the teeth
o brushed thoroughly at night, for K
s then, when the tongue la in repose,
hat the acid of tho tiallva gets In iu
wn good work on the teeth. Milk of
nagnesla should be used after brush-
ng the teeth at night, as It helps to
rotect the enamel from the action of
he aclda that form In the mouth dur-
ng sleep.
In some cases, tartar accumulates
u rapidly that It must be removed
every six months, for neglected tartar
brings a whole train of evils In Its
wake. It consists of lime, and from
first setting around the teeth near the
gums it goes on extending down
around the roots until in US final ac
tion the teeth loosen and fall out.

Tha Olrla Latter Guild.
The plan to establish a Olrlla Lettr
guild In thla country has not met with
an enthusiastic reception. The fail
ure of the scheme, at least so far as It
has gone, is probably due to the too
apparent effort to "Improve" factory
girls, who, with democratic spirit, re
Bist all advances from their richer Bis
ters that savor of patronage.
The Girls' Letter guild is an English
organization, headed by the Bishop of
Coventry. Its object Is to bring the
illiterate and uncultured girls of the
working classes luto touch with wom
en of refinement and culture by a
system of letter writing.
Oentlewomon become members of
the guild by the payment of one shil
ling a year, and the promise to write,
ence a month, a long friendly letter
to any girl who may be allotted to her.
Members of the guild are expected to
ahow an Interest In the daily occupa
tions, amusements, difficulties and
pleasures of their protegees. The
object, of course, Is to correct false
Ideas of life and to inspire a liking
(or wholesome living.

The Itaatoa of Hata.
Not one woman in a thousand stops
to consider the real reason why slid
wears a bat. Savages do not have
any Idea of decorative millinery; their
cbapeaux am Intended for use. The
first hat, it is said, was donned as a
protection from cold and storm by
those whom advancing years bad de
prived of a comfortable thatch of hair
or those whose tender age entitled
them to no supply.
Hate were therefore worn by the
very old or the very young. Borne of
the ancient head coverings were mod
eled on the plan of the protective
l.eadgear worn by warriors when they
went into battle, and were mere plecea
, cf fur. sewed together with thongs of
kin. Aa civilization advanced, decor
ations were added, aud aa refinement
brought with it the Inevitable aubjec
tton of humanity to hair tonics, even
people in tat prime of life were eon
b
pelled to protect their scanty loolis
with coverings of soma sort when
Storms raged.
Then what had once been a reproach
to the wearer came to be made of dis
tinction, like the earl's roronete.l cap,
the scholar's hat or tho monk's hood.
The first trimmings o.i hau represent

WHERE PAlNT HEART WON.

In a I.nva Itomannn
I. uke Maxwell, an awkward farmer
with a heart big enough to love the en
tiro world, yet flllel to overflowing
with 'love for Harriet Weber, was
('own In hl.4 orchard, miserable nnd
Mihappy. Ten years of courtship, with
a passion Mill undeclared, was a hu
morous thing to tiie villagers, but to
l nke. lying prone amid the harvest
Mcnts, It amounted almost to a trag
edy, lint for his hated shyness. Har
riet might now be mistress of the
pietty farmhouse, showing white
through the trees, might have been
there ten years. Now she was going
"out west" to live with her brother
cue shoit week and she would bn out
of his life forever. Ten years of lov
ing, with frequent meetings with his
Idol, were llvahlo at least, but a life
time without a sight of her or the
sound of her voice was unbearablo
even to think of.
"What a tongue tied fool I've been!"
ho groaned. "And oh, heaven, bow I
love her! i must tell her! I can't
let her go! "
With a coinage born of desperation
he dashed like a wild thing through
the orchard and up to tho little vine
i hid cottage. Harriet greeted him In
her sweet, calm way, and thn blush
tl.nt always appeared when she met
him came Into her face,
"Harriet," he begun bravely, "I've
tome to ask you to" Ho glanced
lit her, and then faltered. Oh, Luk'.
you faced your country's foe without
n ttvinor. yet you tremble In every
llbre of your giant body at the Bight
of thU blue-eyed woman! "to ask
;jtt to go with me to tho fair tomor
row," he continued feebly.
"Of course. Luke. If you want me
to." There was a shade of disappoint
ment In Harriet's voice.
Without another word, Luke turned
on his heel. Ho knew now that it
was Impossible for "nlm ever to ex
press bis love. How be nursed the
fate that mado him love; how he
cursed the fate that made him diffi
dent. The country fair was a tremendous
success. Exhibits anil amusements
were high-class, but they palled on
I. uke and Harriet. Late in the after-
rcon tney were following a crowd,
their hearts heavy with longing and
disappointment.
The dapper little man who had at
tracted and was leading tho crowd
paused, turned and begnn a series of
hypnotic maneuver..
"What'B he doing?" whispered Har
riet. "I don't know," answered Luke.
"We'll wait and see."
O blessed hypnotist, verily thou art
a guardian anKul! Hujilenly he paused.
his black eyes snapping and looking
straight at Luke and Harriet. With a
sinuous movement he drew from his
pocket a scroll, which ho unrolled and
held before their wondering ryes. On
this scroll, in largo red letters, wos
printed the following:
"ASK HElt TO MARRY YOU. AND
TAKE HER TO BROWN & GREEN'S
10R THAT HANDSOME PARLOR
Sl'ITE. THEY FEATHER THE
NEST."
Luke read It, then turned to Har
riet, a glorious smile Illuminating his
features. Her face was crimson.
"Will you go there with me, Har
riet?" he whispered, suddenly grow
ing bold. "I've wanted to ask you for
years."
"If you want me to, Luke, murmured
Harriet, a new, glad light In her eyes.
And tho hypnotist passed on to col
lect another crowd, unmindful and
unconscious of the part he had played.

Kwlil tilka American Khea.
According to official statistics, there
were Imported Into Switzerland from
the United States during the last three
years boots nnd shoes amounting to
$28,8t0, the Increase of Imports being
about GO percent each year.
These statistics give only the figures
of the direct Importation and do not
convey a correct idea of tho number
actually Imported for most of them
come from distributing points in Ger
many and are entered at the Swiss
frontier as originating in that country.
Five years ago it was not possible to
buy au American shoe In Switzerland,
but we are gradually getting a Arm
foothold In the country, and now it is
no novelty to see in the shop windows
of the largest towns shoes with a little
American flag displayed thereon and
the announcement that they are Amer
ican made, the inference being that
they must, necessarily be good.
This speaks well for the American
article, when it is considered that one
of the largest shoe factories in the
world (turning out five thousand pairs
of shoes a day) is situated in Switzer
lend and Is an important exporter to
the Latin American countries.
Tha Vegetable Heehtaak."
The notion, long held, that the
mushroom presented the composition
of animal flesh la rudely shattered. In
one regard, at any rate, the mushroom
doea resemble a beefsteak It contains
practically the same amount of water.
This fact, aa ascertained by recent an
alyses, hardly Justifies the mushroom
being regarded as a "vegetable beef
steak." It may be a blow to the vege
tarian, but he would have to consume
at least ten pounds of mushrooms In
order to gain the equivalent of a llt
tlo over one pound of prime beef.
Still, the tender mushroom is un
doubtedly easily digestible, and it
contain an unusual proportion of po
tassium salts. . Few will deny that
the mushroom ia an excellent adjunct
to many dishes; it has an appetizing
flavor, and thla quality alone makes it
dletetlcally valuable, London LfcnceL

If the hardness of the wnter Is only
temporary and due to tlu lime In tne
Ircsh plaster you can adopt Lie plan
used by engineers who wish to soften
the supply of water used by a town.
This Is dune by adding to the water
In the cistern, the object being to rid
the water of the excess of carbon diox
ide which holds the carbonate of lime
; resent In the water In solution. The
lime combines with the carbon diox
ide to form chalk, and the carbon diox
ide being removed from the water can
no longer dissolve the rarbonate of
lime, and this, together with the chalk
formed, Is thrown down. About one-te-nth
part clear lime water Is lined.
Pulling will soften and rid the water
of temporary hardness, but this Is a
more tedious process than using the
lime.

I'nrirrlnt the Cellar.
The woman who understands house
hold sanitation examines all her house
bold premises with a scientific Intelli
gence. She begins In the cellar with
the hygienic coat of whitewash, which
purines the air and drives out the
dampness. This whitewash Is not put
on for appearance, but for effect. It
destroys the dangerous germs which
lurk In the mould found In damp
places. Every particle of old vege
table inntter and all debris that has
luln in the cellar bins must be cleaned
p.wny to Insure perfect sanitation.
When the cellar has a close odor It
Is a good plan to purify the air by
burning a little brimstone before the

siroy mould most effectually In sonio
place where the coat of whitewash
does not reach. If the cellar has been
systematically aired and there la no
sign of mould about tho place, It will
l ot be necessary to fumigate it. . It
only requires a small amount of brim
Blonn to purify the air of a mouldy
cellar, After fumigation open the win
clows In the day time and air tho
place thoroughly. When the air out
efde the cellar is warmer than that
of the cellar the windows must be
open at night and not during the day.
The ceilings as well as the floor of
the cellar must be thoroughly brushad.
At least once or twice a year and
the spring is tho best time the ce
r.iented cellar floor must be disinfect
ed with copperas. This can easily be
done by a strong workman with a mop
cr sponge, after the floor has been
thoroughly swept. Sprinkle a dirt
floor with copperas. Ten cents' worth
nt copperas dissolved in two palls of
Lot water Is sufficient for a cellar of
ordinary size. The same solution
should be poured down every cesspool,

which needs purification. New Yorlc

A self-dumping scow, built on novel
principles, has been put In service at
Havana, Cuba. The scow U built with
a flush deck and a central longitudi

two water-tight compartments. When
the scow, with its deck loaded, is
towed out to sea. a valve Is opened
which allows water to run Into on?
side of the bont. being retained there
by the water-tight bulkhead. As the
barge tills on one side with water it
gets a greater, and greater list, until
finally it has a position of about 45
degrees, by which time the load all
slides off Into the sea. On opening

A most important document on the
subject of acetylene generators has
Just been made public In the report
of the parliamentary commission of ex
perts who have been examining the
merits ot the acctylone gas machines
offered commercially In Great Britain.
Forty-six machines, of different make,
were examined and the report state
they all were found to be safe under
the conditions of the test. The yield
r' gas in the different machines ranged
from over 09 percent of the gas-pro-duclng
capacity of the carbide used
clown to 65 percent. The commission
does not favor automatic machines, as
under the varied conditions of uso to
vhlch the generators are exposed to
under every day conditions, especially
with unskilled labor, trouble may arise
from the automatic apparatus, many
of which are quite complicated. It is
interesting to learn that all machines
offered are practically safe, and that
the type of machinery may affect the
yield of gas to the extent of 33 pep
cent.
Mat flood Way to Kami Money.
The Denver secret service ofpeera
were surprised by being nsked to re
deem a Ave dollar bill wlil'-h had been
cut in half. They were waited on by
a gentleman who stated thut he owed a
man )5. In ordor to do away with the
possibility ot the money being lost, be
decided to send the money in separate
pieces.
He cut the bill in two pieces and
mailed one of them. Tnen he waited
for a reply from his friend, but was
surprised to learn that the halt bill had
not been received. He supposed that
he would be paid $5 by the Denver se
cret service officers. Instead he was in
formed that he bad violated a law. He
was very much disappointed, and stat
ed that in the future he would pur
chase money orders when he wanted
to send money by mail.
The practice ot cutting bank notes
In half and sending them in two sepa
rate envelopes ia much followed In
England, but in the Urlted Stales the
