I’m a regular tiger at it, a w’hale.”'” Friends of Virgil Covault, 14 a son of "Doc” Covault, will be pleased to learn that an examination of his eyes by a specialist at Fort Wayne Thuisday afternoon, gives hope for the complete restoration of his power of vision, without an operation.

In the September Woman's Home Companion, which by the way is called a “Fashion Forsecast Number," the fashion editor comments in part as follows about the changes in coiffure this fall: “There is to be a decided change in the coffurc this autumn. Simplicity has been the mode these past two or three seasons. Now there is a return to the pompadour and putts and curls. This should be welcome news to many women, as this new style is far more becoming than the severely plain coiffure recently favored. The new pompadour ‘is interesting as it is so different from the pompadour so popular in the past. It is called the! slanting pompadour because it is very low in front and rises gradually until it reaches the crown, where it is finished with a group of small puffs or eurls encircled with a soft coil.”

ALLOW NOTHING TO WASTE everything »f the Slight*** Value la Utilized by the Thrifty Peeple •f Fmam. What become* at old aardlae boiaa. tomato cane, meat cut, fruit can*, aad cans of all kind*? In thia country they are usually tumbled Into some waste lot or down 4»y the side of the road, where they are left In unsightly heaps. But the people do better tn France, where nothing le allowed to go to waste. They gather them up, and use them—to cut Into tin soldiers. The making of tin soldiers Is not an Insignificant or unimportant business, by any means. There was published not long ago an Item saying that the manufacture had reached "great artistic excellence," and that "a certain eminent German officer has found it possible to represent military operations on a large scale by their means." He has "thirty-five thousand tin soldiers,” foot soldiers, horsemen, and artillerymen, with all necessary equipments, and toy scenery; and with them he goes through evolutions, and worka out interesting problems of military tactics. Tn France, too, the old boots and shoes are collected, and every part is used over again. The work ia mostly done by convicts In prisons. They take the boots and shoes to pieces and soak them; then the uppers are cut over into children's shoes; or, if they are too far gone for that, a peculiar kind of pressed leather Is made by some chemical action. The nails are saved and sold, and the scraps go to the farmers to fertilize the soil. Who would have thought it possible to make anything out of old eawe? Yet it IS said that many of the finest surgical instruments, and some of those used by engineers, are manufactured from the steel that first did duty In saws. The steel of saws is of th* very best quality and finest temper; and since it is good In the first place it is always good. After that It Is easy to believe that there is a place In Canada where they make paper from sawdust It Is a kind of paper pulp, rolled out tn great sheets, for the purpose of sheathing; that ta, for using on buildings before the clapboards are put on. Wood pulp, made of poplar and spruce, has lons been used, mixed with the rags In the paper mills, in the process of manufacture ' but it Is a new thing to convert sawdust Into paper. Where the largest quantity of lead pencils le made, the sawdust of the cedar wood 1s saved and distilled. “A valuable oil is extracted, every ounce of which is sold at good figures.” So an old sardine box, a tomato can, a cast-oS shoe, and a rusty pruning saw may be made over Into something entirely new; and a heap of sawdust and the waste from a lead-pencil manufactory may furnish employment and be of actual use in the world.—« Youth’s Companion.

Father Knickerbocker's 250 Year*. New York city celebrated last Thursday the 250th anniversary of Its municipal government under a mayor and board of aidermen. When Thomas Willett was sworn In aa mayor, with his five aidermen, on June 24, 1565—the date appearing M June Id, according to the old calendar form. In the early accounts — by the English governor, Richard Nicolla, the last vestige of Dutch rule was obliterated. There was. Indeed, one break, but of so short duration that Its Influence was negligible, tn 16T3, while England and Holland were at war, Captain Colve, with a small Dutch fleet, appeared in the harbor. The English recognised that the fort was no more able to resist an attack than it was in the days of Stuyvesant, nine years before, and the Dutch again captured New York. In less than a year, when the European war ended, it was restored to the English. Safety In Summer Drinks. On the whole, then, we hsve reason to be proud of the progress that has been made tn the production of summer drinks. Ingredients actually harmful or even deleterious have been mostly eliminated. The chief danger that besets the habitues of the soda fountain is laek of cleanliness on the part of the dispenser, especially in the rinsing of the glasses. With due regard for this and for the temperature and condition of hie stomach the thirsty one may face the fountain without fear and pick out from the fancy names upon the mirror whatever seems most enticing at the time. —New York Independent.

Interesting War Contribution. Among the funds which are pouring into the committees in every city of Italy to provide comforts and necessaries for those who ire suffering directly or indirectly through the war, an interesting contribution of nearly 1500 has been received by the committee for etvll preparation at Bologna. The committee existed during the war of Independence in 1866, and this sum, which was then only |BO, was the balance which remained to the fund after the war was over. It was deposited in the name of Count Salina, a well-known patriot of the town, and in 49 years it has mors than quintupled itself. , You Can’t Foot Her. “Do you believe that there is really eomething which ean invariably tell when a man is lying?” “I know it.” “Ah. perhaps you Hava seen one of Jie instruments?” “Seen one? I married one.'’
