"Every dog has its day." The first person who said so, many good Shakespeareans may have supposed, was Hamlet, who observes "The cat will mew and dog will have his day" s his exit words in the church yard scene. But two earlier instan ces, of the saying were unearthed for Dr. Murray's dictionary. Forty years before 'Hamlet" Heywood wrote: "But, as every man saith, a dog hath his dale;" and the first recorded per son to say it was none other than Queen Elizabeth, who remarked: "Notwithstanding, as a dog bath a day, so may I perchance have time to declare .it In deed." The origin of the -saying is lost In antiquity. Lon- jdon brcmicle. First to Reach the Top.

BACK TO Tl LriT What Food Did For a Clergyman. A minister of Ellzabethtown tells how Grape-Nuts food brought him . back to his pulpit: "Some 5 years ago I had an attack of what seemed to be La Grippe, which left me in a complete state of collapse and I suf fered for some time with nervous prostration. My appetite failed, I lost flesh until I was a mere skeleton, life was a burden to me, I lost inter est in. everything and almost in everybody save my precious wife. "Then on the recommendation of some friends I began the use of Grape-Nuts food. At that time I was a miserable skeleton, without appe tite and hardly able to walk across the "room; had ugly dreams at night, no disposition to entertain or be en tertained and began to shun society. "I finally gave up the regular min istry, indeed I could not collect my thoughts on any subject, and became almost a hermit. After I had been using the Grape-Nuts food for a short time I discovered that I was taking on new life and my appetite began to Improve; I began to sleep better and my weight increased steadily; I had lost some 50 pounds, but under the new food regime I have regained al most my former weight and have greatly improved in every way. "I feel that I owe much to Grape Nuts and can truly recommend the food to all who require a powerful rebuilding agent delicious to taste and always welcome." Name gives by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. A true natural road to regain health, or hold It, is by use of a dish ot Grape-Nuts and cream, morning and - night. Or have the food made into some of the many delicious dishes given In the little recipe book found . In pkgs. Ten days' trial of Grape-Nuts helps many. "There's a reaBon."

One of the latest variations oi me sntri waiBt is me one- that gives the suggestion of a coat It is double breasted, plain, finished with tailor severity and is altogether chic and smart for certain occasions. Made from linen, French pique, duck or similar material it makes a most satisfactory waist for j golf, tennis, riding and the like and also for general morning wear. Made from light weight flannel it is admir able for outings in the mountains or by the seashore.while it suits both the separate waist and entire gown equally well. As ilustrated white butcher's linen is used, held by pearl buttons. The waist Is made with fronts and back and Is finished at the neck with coat collar and lapels. The left front is supplied with a pocket and the sleeves are in shirt waist style. The chemisette is entirely separate and closed at the back while the waist is closed at the front with but tons and buttonholes. The quantity of material required for the medium size Is four yards, twenty-one, three and a half yards twenty-seven or two and three-, eighths yards thirty-six inches wide. PONGEE PARASOL EMBROIDERY. Quite oriental is a 'pongee parasol embroidered with the characteristic old Chinese dragca. One may not be over anxious to display a fondness for these dragons but I have seen some waists with these dragons done on the front In self color that were very handsome. . EMBROIDERED BABY CAPS. The baby caps cut from a straight piece of embroidery, shaped at the ends, and trimmed with lace around the face, are very nice for the small baby whose caps so soon become rumpled, for they Bpread out flat upon their draw strings, and may be wash ed and ironed with very Jfttle trouble. The particular point In their con struction is to shape the ends p.-opar-ly to that the cap fits well about the back of the little head. Fancy Blouse Waist. The fancy waist is in constant de mand and new and fresh designs are therefore quite certain to find a hearty welcome. This one is abso lutely novel and can be treated in various ways. In the Illustration white mercerized batiste Is combined with a simple all-over lace edged with frills of Valenciennes, the effect being as dainty and chic as well can be. All the many lingerie materials are, however, appropriate, and the trimming portion can be ot embroidery quite as well as of lace, or it can be cut from the material and embroidered by hand. Indeed, countless variations might be sug gested. In addition to all these uses the waist makes an admirable one for the popular thin silks and serves equally well for the separate blouse and the entire gown. There is a fitted lining which can be used or omitted as material ren ders desirable and the waist itself consists of the front and the backs that are tucked to form a deep yoke. The front portion of the trimming Is cut In two sections that are lapped one over the other and are held by ornamental buttons, while that of the back consists of straight straps and curved portions. The closing is made invisibly beneath the box pleat at the back, and there is a choice allowed of elbow or full length sleeves. .The quantity of material required for the medium size is four and one half yards twenty-one, three and a quarter yards twenty-seven or two and a quarter yards forty-four Inches wide, with one yard of all-over lac and twelve yards of edging. SKIRT AND -WAIST ALIKE. Skirt and waiBt a'.lke are favored for sporting costumes, and are made of light weight flannels and serges. There are many days when even light weight flannel is burdensome," how ever,, and for Such weather linen or pongee are bew liked for all-alike suits. NTCW MOTOR WRAPS.

Despite our familiarity with meer schaum, as used in pipes, it is safe to say that few of us have more than a vague Idea of the peculiar proper ties of this substance, or the condi tion In which it occurs In nature. Nor may Its chemical designation as a hydrous silicate of magnesia of the formula Mg2S13032H20 prove very enlightening. The ancients believed the substance to be petrified sea foam, hence the German name Meer schaum, meaning sea foam; and a very apt name it Is, for the mineral is very white and so light that it will float when dry. Pieces of meer schaum hove been found floating in the Black Sea which were evidently washed out of their matrix by the waves. This may also have had its influence on the sea foam theory of Its formation. Meerschaum Is found in best qual ity and most abundant quantity In Asia Minor, though it also occurs in Greece, Spain, Moravia and Morocco, and even In this country In South Carolina. The riches mines are on the plains of Eskishehr, 250 miles southeast of Constantinople. One of these mines Is said to be a thousand years old, and consists of about two thousand pits within an area of six miles, nil but about 150 of which have been exhausted. The miner oc curs in nodules or lumps of various and Irregular sizes, burled In the al luvial deposit of the plain. Another mine comprises three thousand pits, only one hundred of which are being worked. The material is mined by the inhabitants of surrounding vil lages, and transported in the rough to Eskishehr. The meerschaum pipe factory of this city illustrates the process of forming the material Into pipes. The largest pieces are cut with a band saw to a convenient size, after which the meerschaum Is soaked In water until it becomes quite soft. Meer schaum when wet becomes very soapy, and will produce quite a lath er if rubbed. In fact, the material serves as a very good substitute for soap, and is thus used In Morocco. Meerschaum dust makes an excellent cleaning powder for removing' spots from fabrics. After being thoroughly soaked the meerschaum can be cut like cheese, and it is then shaped with a knife to the form of a pipe. When dry the bowl and stem shanks are drilled. In the selection of a meerschaum pipe one should be careful not to pick a dead white specimen. That which Is of a slight creamy color will soonest take on that beautiful rich yellow brown shade which so delights the smoker. Nor should the meerschaum be too light, as that is an indication that It is too porous to color properly, while on the other hand, a very heavy meerschaum may be almost too dense to absorb the coloring nicotine. A great many so called meerschaum pipes are made from artificial meerschaum, a mate rial composed of chips and dust of meerschaum bonded with some solu tion and moulded into . blocks. The artificial product Is Bomewhat heav ier than the genuitie. There are still other ways of imitating meer schaum, and a novice will find diffi culty In successfully selecting a gen uine meeschaum pipe of good qaul ity Scientific American. Fish Hawk's Nest on a Buoy. Of all places that a bird would select to make a nest the top of a day bea con, a,channel mark, bolibing up and down on the waves of the river, seems to be the most remarkable, but this is what a fish hawk has done In one of the buoys down river. Ths steamboat men have noticed for sev eral days past a mass of twigs, straw, rags and 'other odds and ends in the top of the beacon marking the Me tompking shoal, off Riverside wharf, and a day or two ago they saw a fish hawk light on the buoy. Closer ob servation disclosed that his mate wax sitting on the nest. The buoy ihas a conical-Bhaped top, with a depression in It, and surround ed by wlrework forming a sort of open cage. In the depression the nest has been placed, and here the birds will raise their family, free from moles tation, for they are two or three miles from the nearest land. The bird home Is near the base of food supplies. The father bird has but to step out to the door of his house, either front or back, and, watching the wa ter lawn for a moment or two, make a dive and come up with a supply of food for his family. It looks as if it were a pair of wise birds which se lected a nesting place. Washington Star. How Senator Tillman Lost an Eye. Although his brothers were old enough to serve in the Confederate army, Benjamin R. Tillman was a schoolboy of 15 when the great strug gle began. He knew that at 16 he must join the Confederate forces, and his brothers wrote back from the field entreating him tc get as much educa tion as possible, because the war might last so long that he would never again be able to go to school. Even at night young Tillman would continue his studies, frequently carry ng a lighted pine knot into the wocls tad lying down with his books beside t. He was a lank, tall, silent boy, llctatorial and brusque, but a natural ituaent. The heat of the pine torch injured his left eye and a plunge In ;old water brought on a tumor that de frayed It. It was the almost two rears' illness following this mishap :hat prevented the youth from serving ,n arms against the Union. Pearson's Magazine. - Kitchen of the Sultan. The imperial kitchen of the Sultan ef Turkey is more like a fortress than a place to cook his meals, tor it has an armor plate door and is fitted with locks which can be opened by only one man. As each course Is prepared It is placed on a sliver dish, which is sealed with red wax by the krelardjhi, the official responsible for his sov ereign's food, and then a black vel vet cover Is placed over the dish to keep It warm. A procession of peo ple follow the meal Into the Imperial chamber, the seals being broken In the Sultan's presence, and often the kelardjhi is requested to taste some particular dish. The cost of the Sul tan's food does not exceed 1,000 a year, for it Is mostly entrees and boiled eggs, but to feed the numerous members of his household and pay al. domestic expenses lessens his annual ineome of 2,000.000 to 14,000 a week. New York Herald. To Cure Thumb Sucking. Taking an appropriately sized thin rubber ball, an oval hole Is cut to loosely fit the wrist, and the surface ventilated by very numerate punches with a stable harness punch. A cheesecloth bag is sewed on to the oval hole, and a tape run In and out of the cloth at this aperture, which can be gently tied at the wrist. A woolen mitten can be worn within this If required for cold weather. Sav eral sizes have to be made at Inter vals of two months, to allow for growth. For half an hour night and morning these are removed and the child taught gradually to pat a cake and play with her own hands. After four months the child will be com pletely broken of the habit, but still "must wear them at night as a pre cautionary measure. New York Medi cal Journal. Qrammer of the Home. In many families the education of the children Is committed almost ex clusively to the schools, and this suf ficiently accounts for the atrocious er rors of speech otten noted In circles Where we might expect better things.
