Miss Vanderbilt's Flame,
One of the finest jewels that society
has seen in many a day was recently
purchased by Miss Gladys Vanderbilt.
At first glance it resembles a tiny
ball of flame encircled by an almost
imperceptible gold rim, but on closer
survey it turns out to be a convex
opal concealing a timepiece about the
slze of a dime. So attractive is it
that her masculine friends—and some

Gold Shoes With Gray Gloves.
Though gray is to continue in
vogue, apparently the fancy for wear-
ing gray shoes to match the gowns
is dying out. When Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth came out of a theatre in
the capital recently she wore a gray
crepe gown embroidered with morn-
ing glories and her slippers seemed of
burnished gold. They are Cuban slip-
~pers, made in her honeymoon trip to
Havana. She has several pairs of
silvery slippers from the West Indies,
and these are to be worn with a
ainty gray cloth gown. These slip-
ers are made of cloth of gold or
fllver, and some are covered with
tiny sequins.
How to Us: Hot Milk.
Hot milk is a cure for many ills.
When you come in tired from an af-
ternoon’s shopping, try how a cup
of it will refresh you. As a pick-me-
ip it is unrivalled, for it not only
timulates but nourishes. The only
point to be remembered is to take it
n sips, and not in one draught. In
ips it is easily assimilated, but taken
a draught it may easily cause a
d attack of indigestion. For the
mplexion milk is excellent. If the

provement in whiteness and tex-

How to Have Beautiful Hair.
“While there's hair, there's hope,”
and no woman should resort to manu-
factured hair as long as she has any
of her own. False hair hurts the
scalp, and retards the growth of the
hair.
With a shampoo once every two or
three weeks, a scalp treatment ip be
tween times, and a regular brushing
every night there is no reason why a
woman should not have hair that is
beautiful and healthy.
For treatment of hair that has been
injured by using “rats” there is noth-
ing better than scalp massage, the
application of a good hair tonic and
regular brushing. Coaxing of this
sort will cause a new growth and
cause the old one to brace up
One of the best tonics for the hair
is salt, and an excellent dry tonic
shampob may be made with it. Mix
a coarse quality of salt with powdered
orris root, using two ounces to a
pound of salt. Sift well in order to
mix thoroughly, rub into the hair and
scalp and brush out with a good bris-
tle brush.
Let the arrangement of the hair de-
pend on the shape of your face, and
don’t dress your hair in the prevail-
ing style just because it is the pre-
vailing style. If it is becoming adopt
it, but if not don’t make a caricature
of yourself for the sake of being in
the fashion.
For an itching, irritated scalp try
applications of a solution of boric
acid. Purchase an ounce of pure
boric acid crystals and place in a
quart jar of hot water. Apply to the
scalp every night, and in a short
time there will be no more trouble.
Although a good sumning is the
best thing in the world for the hair,
it is not particularly good for it to
be dried in the sun after shampooing.
The sun seems to make each imdivid-
ual hair stand out separate from the
others, and, as a consequence, it is
difficult to arrange it nicely. See
that the hair is thoroughly dried and
then given a sun bath. —New York
Mail.

Interest in underground water sup-

is abundant and the soil is naturally
fertile, is given by the program just
prepared for the work of the coming
season by the Geological Survey of
Illinois. A special department of the
work will be devoted to the study of
the underground waters of that state,
>| in order to determine the limits of
what are called the “Artesian basins,”
and the various depths to which it may
be necessary to penetrate in different
localities to obtain good water for mu-
nicipal and agricultural purposes.
All the waters will be carefully analy-
zed and subjected to laboratory tests,
and thus it is hoped that the work of
developing new water-supplies will he
put upon a thoroughly scientific foot-
ing.
Capock, much used in Holland and
other European countries, is a pro-
duct of certain bamboos known in the
Dutch Indies as the “false cotton tree.”
It is a down of a yellowish brown
silky filaments, which is found in the
capsule of the fruit, which it sur-
rounds and protects the tender pulp.
It is not only very light, but it ab-
sorbs scarcely any water even after
months of maceration. Less than a
pound is sufficlent to support a man
of ordinary weight in water. In the
English and German navies the ma-
terial is being used instead of cork
for life-saving apparatus, and French
surgeons now find that it has advan-
tages as a substitute for wadding or
cotton for bandages or compresses.
It is suggested that the price, which is
now high, might be reduced by en-
couraging the cultivation of this va-
riety of bamboo in Eastern colonies.
ARTIFICIAL COD'S EGGS.
Breton Fisherfolk Saved by a Novel
Kind of Bait.
France claims to have at last
solved the problem of the Breton sar-
dine fishery, say the London Globe.
The crisis which has spread such
misery in the province was not
caused by the disappearance of the
shoals, but by their non-appearance
from the lower depths, simply be-
cause the fishermen had not the only
really effective bait for attracting
them. This consists in the ‘spawn,
or “eggs,” of codfish, which are only
prepared in Norway, and sold at the
monopoly price of nearly £6 per bar-
rel. As the Breton fisherfolk could
not afford such a price, they have
used inferior substitutes, which have
reduced them almost to famine. But
at last M. Fabre Domerque, inspec-
tor-general of French fisheries, has
come brilliantly to the rescue by de-
vising an artificial production of
cod’s “eggs.” This artificial product
is identical in size, color and odor
with the natural “eggs,” from which
it is quite undistinguishable. Thrown
into the water it is ravenously sought
by fish in shoals. Mr. Domerque has
taken out a patent, but he has placed
it in the hands of the minister of ma-
rine, so that French fishermen may
now have their bait at about a quar-
ter the price asked in Norway.

WORKMEN AS STOCKHOLDERS.
What Johney Bearrup Accomplished
With His Mill in New Mexico.
In Albuquerue, N. M,, is a man
with an idea, says the World's Work.
He went there twenty-five years ago
from Ohio, a young pioneer, apparent-
ly less well fitted perhaps for success
in the competition of life in a country
where water is a luxury than most
of his fellows. The idea that now
makes him a constructive successful
business man was a Socialistic theory
that co-operation was the only form of
industrial organization with which he
cared to have anything to do. And it
was manufacturing that he had set
his heart on—in a parched .desert
where, outside of the struggling little
the country did not maintain
ge of one person to the

where it is produced.”
with these two ideas matur-
mind that Johnny Bearrup,
tured
his real name—went on con-
tented! ing sheep until a year and
a half ago he was able to start the
v which he calls the Rio Grande
olen Mills, one of the largest man-
ufacturing establishments in New
Mexico. As far as possible it is con-
ducted co-operatively. Most of the
workmen are stockholders. Mr. Bear-
rup advertises in Socialistic papers,
and sells his blankets and other wool-
en goods largely to the co-operative
societies. There are a good many
Socialists In the United States. His
agents visit co-operative stores and
Socialistic societies. They sell not
only blankets, but they sell stock in
the mill on a 5 percent commission.
He invites the stockholders to come
and to work in the mills. For his idea
is expanding. If the Socialists will
keep on buying his blankets, and the
stockholders will keep on coming to -
his little settlement on the outskirts
of Albuquerque, he sees no reason
why his co-operative factory should
not be the nucleus of a co-operative
town or why the co-operative factory
should not be supplied from a co-op
erative sheep ranch as well as selling
to co-operative stores.
If he were simply a visionary, his
experiment would deserve only passing
attention, but he is a keen, wWide-
awalie business man. He has the re
spect and confidence of the other
business men of the town. He is well
liked. There is no apparent reason
why the enterprise should not suc-
ceed—as long as he is at the head of
it,
