Precipitation is aviation’s worst enemy. Airships have not yet filed freight tariffs. Winter is looking over the fence at us. vtf 1 ' ' ' “ Nicaragua gives signs of refusing to stay put. "The hobble skirt is passing,” says a fashion note. But slowly, of course. One of the requisites of an aeroplane flight is a check for a good-sized amount. One of the shocking new plays brought out in New York is named “Electricity.” The thumping of the steam pipes in the early morning means more noise but not more heat. „• Chinese officials must give up their jobs or their queues. The latter will naturally have to go. A London scientist has Invented a sure cure for a cold. So has everybody else in the world. A Hoosier dentist has planned a tooth insurance policy. He may bite off more than he can chew. In future, when aviation meets are to be stopped by the police, they will have to have more “fly cops.” There are 80,000 rooms in New York without light. And yet they boast of the Great White Way. With aeroplane makers organized the pickets could have lots of fun making faces at non-union craft. King Chulalongkorn is dead. Compositors will be glad to learn that his successor's name'ls Chowfa Maha Vajiravauch. A lecturer declared lately that the perfect woman of the future will not be a mother. Then she will not be a perfect woman. The woman who has a pet boa constrictor 11 feet long shouldn’t kick if her husband brings home a load of snake bite cure. Man Is a useless creature, asserts a Chicago woman lecturer. What? Who’d stay home and tend the baby if it wasn’t for men? Still, there are some young men who are more interested in the price of American beauty, roses than in the cost of beefsteak. About the time a man begins to grow brush heaps in his ears he loses Interest in the changing vagaries of fashions in socks. The Massachusetts girl /who can throw a baseball like Ellam is a factory girl. No college or society girl can compete with her. Shakespeare may have had the manbirds in mind when he mentioned the condition of being “horsed on the sightless corners of the air.” It is alleged that dressed Peruvian monkeys are being sold as rabbits in the London market. What a was to there must be in monkey tails. A Toronto girl who thought she wa* marrying a young capitalist soon discovered that her husband was a burglar. Is not marriage a lottery? The SwiS% are going to construct another tunnel through the Alps. Evidently they do not take much stock in the aerial route taken by Chavez. Three of the last load of deer brought into Bangor, Me., says an exchange, were shot by women. , Who says a woman can’t hit anything she alms at?

They are going to put up another huge building In New York, this time one of 46 stories. Daylight will yet be at a premium on the Manhattan street level. * A preacher says that young women prefer marriage to missionary work. If they tackle the former, however, they’ll find that they're in for a bit of the latter. „ Only scientific institutions or learned chemists will be permitted to buy radium. As it is $36,000,000 a pound, one can readily see what hardship this arbitrary regulation is going to work among the general public, seeking radium bargains. In Detroit a man was arrested because he shot off firecrackers on the twenty-fifth anniversary of his wedding. A man who wants to celebrate because he has been married twentyfive years ought to have some privileges. An Oregon detective has been decorated by China for guarding the Chinese prince on the latter’s recent visit to this country. But a detective sporting a yellow jacket and a peacock feather would he rather hampered in .his business of secret identity.

Willful Cinderella

“When must I go back home?” demanded Bess suddenly as she turned from the window and faced the family. The question plainly disconcerted the family. Mrs. Dudley Graham tapped uneasily on the desk with her eyeglasses and regarded her unruly niece in puzzlement. Winifred frowned and sighed, but was silent. Only Billie remained unmoved, and it was at Billie that Bess looked. Lounging comfortably over in the window seat, he bent forward, stroking the tawny, glossy head of Bruce, his collie. The taming of Bess he had left entirely to his stepmother and sister ever since her arrival from Idaho. And it had not proved • a successful taming. “Understand me, Elizabeth,” began Mrs. Dudley Graham, with infinite tact and patience, “there is no real necessity for your returning to Idaho at all—” “Didn’t you just say it was the only future you could see for me, Aunt Honoria?” demanded Bess, eyes and tone belligerent. "I said if,” responded her aunt firmly. "Your position has changed materially within the past two/,.months. Before your father lost his fortune you were an assured success. Now, if you refuse to accept the changed conditions, the —er —responsibilities of your position—” "You mean if I refuse to marry a man I don’t give a rap for, just because it’s a bully chance and he’s a thundering good match.” Mrs. Dudley Graham raised deprecating shoulders, and shrank slightly from the tone and words; Bess was so uncompromisingly frank jn her point of view that the atmosphere at West Brooksmere suffered. So did the temper of its mistress. But she had accepted the responsibility of Bess and meant to fulfill it to the letter. “Listen, dear,” she began; “this change has happened so suddenly that it is quite natural you should not realize your position. Three years ago your father was the richest silver mine owner In Idaho. The panic came—” “Oh, don’t drag that poor old panic into it, auntie,” interposed Bess, pushing back her brown curls restlessly. “Dad was speculating long before that happened. He wasn’t satisfied with the ranch and just plenty: He went in over his head and swamped everything. Why not tell the truth? New there’s nothing left but the ranch, is there, and the stock?” “Oh, there’s a little bit more.” Billie spoke up for the first time, in his lazy, nonchalant way. “About fifty thousand. Enough for you to be interesting still to Hartley Chambers." “Well, I don’t care whether’s fifty thousand or fifty cents, I won’t marry Mr. Chambers. I'd rather go home tonight.” “Bess, you’re a perfect little idiot,” said Winifred, with sudden fury. "Whether you love Hartley or not, you might at least have sense enough to see that it is a compliment for a man in his position even to want to marry a girl out 'of the west like you—” Bess leaned back her head and laughed merrily, her eyes full of mischief. “He doesn’t love me, Winnie. Poor fellow, he’s simply letting Aunt Honoria here herd him into the corral to be roped and branded. That’s why I wouldn’t marry him—one of the reasons. He’s too tame. He doesn’t even put up a fight. He isn’t worth even Aunt Honoria’s trouble.” Right at this interesting moment in the family council the curtains parted at the end of the room and Barton announced Mr. Hartley Chambers, and from the amused gleam in Mr. Chambers’s gray eyes as he took in the situation it would appear that the last ringing remarks of Bess had reached his ears. But Bess cared not. Tall and dauntless, she arose and cast the burden of the strain on the rest of the company. “I’m going for a ride, auntie,” she announced. “Coming, Bill?” "Where to?” asked Bill the indolent. “Miss Collier owes me a ride,” said Hartley Chambers deliberately. “Since we are to lose her so soon I shall have to claim it. Condolences, Billie.” Billie shrugged his shoulders and grinned sympathetically. He did not envy Mr. Chambers that ride with the girl front Idaho. Scornful, mischievous, daring, she had accepted the challenge; and it was a challenge. She knew he had heard her words, and yet he held her to her promise. Very well. She would ride with him. And the three remaining members of the family council stood in silence for a full five minutes after the departure of the two. Then, as her mother left the room, Winifred suddenly sank down in a chair and laid her head on her folded arms on the table. Billie whistled softly to himself —waiting. He was only twenty-two, but he was very wise, especially in the ways of West Brooksmere. And in his boyish way he was mighty proud and fond of this tall-clear-eyed, blonde sister. “Say, Win, you like Hartley, don’t you?” he asked suddenly. Winifred lifted a flushed, tearstained face. “Billie, there are times when I hate you.” “Perzactly,” laughed Billie. “When I tell the truth as Bess does. I like that girl. Win, even if you and the mater do think she’s an irresponsible kid. It I were twenty-five Instead of

just starting in, I’d set old Hart a pace.” Out on the open road that led hillward it did not appear that “old Hart” needed a pacesetter. He was doing very well alone. For perhaps the first time in her lively life, Bess was silent and listening attentively. Once or twice' a quick flush swept over her face and left it, despite its youth, full of a certain womanliness and serious intent. “But how do you know?” she demanded suddenly. “He has never said one single word,” “How do you know?” smiled back Chambers. “I have never spoken one word to her.” And Bess laughed a low, joyous laugh, and bent low over her horse’s neck, as a sweeping willow branch came below her hat brim with a soft swish. “Love is blind, isn’t it?” she said. “As a bat,* 1 "' replied Chambers, cheerfully. “And the trouble is, we let pleasant old ladies like —well, like somebody we both know, manage the outward view for us. Now, listen to a sage. Billie’s a youngster, and he’s facing college. It -won’t do him any good. What he needs is the fresh toning up that only life out west would give him. He’s an anomaly that sometimes happens here in this eastern society of ours. He’s a primitive, earnest, overgrown cub, with big ideals and great intentions, and he hates the life here. Another thing, he has a couple of elder brothers ahead of him already entering the business game. It’s up to Billie to make good himself, somehow. He won’t do it, loafing around on a football team as halfback, and running a swell “frat” suite for four years. I’m going back to ask Winifred to be my wife. Can’t you manage Billie?” “Manage Billie?” She lifted bewildered eyes to his. “Take him west with you. You don’t like it here. I saw you were homesick, weeks ago, when you first came out. Let the boy tell you what he’s longing to, and take him back with you, and find happiness in God’s country, while you’re both unspoiled youngsters.” Bess rode along silently. She was eighteen, and as she listened to the even, kindly voice beside her, she felt even ten years less. Instead of the low Westchester rolling land, she saw the home ranch, circled by mountain peaks and purple haze that wreathed the foothills, miles upon miles of rich, primeval country, waiting for the newer blood, for newer hopes to stand by it, and believe in its promise. And she thought of the look in Billie’s eyes when she told him of the land she loved. But she said no more. When they rode up to the broad portico, Chambers dismounted, and she watched him as he strolled leisurely along the smooth walks to where Winifred stood, white-clad and fair-haired, gathering the chrysanthemum blooms. Bess stood with one small-booted foot resting on the first step, striking at a clump of ferns with her whip—and thinking. Suddenly came Billie’s voice from the veranda rail overhead. . “Well?” She did not look up. “Is it to be Mrs. Hartley Chambers?” She could have laughed from sheer happiness pt the wretchedness in the boy’s voice. “I don’t blame you,” he went on. '“Any girl would choose this if she had the chance in preference to an Idaho ranch. Of course, the mater is your own aunt, and my stepmother, so I suppose I’m prejudiced against her good advice. But if I dared —’’ Then Bess looked up at him. “Coward,” she whispered. I dare you.” He stared at her for a moment, then took the railing at one spring, crushing the ferns and flowers, and landing beside her, with a new-born authority about his voice and manner. “Bess,” he demanded, “have you refused Hartley?” Bess laughed. "Billie, Billie boy, if you aren’t just like a stumbling cub broncho! He never asked me to marry him. He’s talking it over with Winifred this minute. I’m going back to Idaho—” “And I’m going with you.” Billie’s tone was low. He caught her to him almost roughly. “Bess, look at me.” “I won’t!” She struggled rebelliously. “Billie, don’t. They’ll see you—” "They?” Billie retorted triumphantly. “They’re too busy, themselves!” Mrs. Dudley Graham, on the second verandah above, bent forward to catch the next words, but everything wa* very quiet. She adjusted her eyeglasses thoughtfully, and smiled. Even a willful Cinderella may be disciplined by the right prince.

Egypt’s Lost Art Discovered.

Embalming that will maintain the human body a hundred ages—the lost art of Egypt—is said to have been by Homer J. Paar, a graduate of the School of Pharmacy of the University of Pittsburg. Paar has been experimenting on rodents, and has a number of mummy rats which he uses as paper weights on his desk, and one large one which he uses for a door-check. He claims that a body properly protected can be rendered immune to the disintegrating influence of time and would carry thousands of years Into the future its beauty of today.

TWO WORLD FAMED GRANNIES

One of These Talented Women I* Sarah Bernhardt and the Other Ellen Terry. Two famous grandmothers are distinguished visitors of this country. Referring to these talented ladles th* Rochester Post Express says: "One of the grandmothers is Mme. Sarah Bernhardt; /he other is Ellen Terry. Both actresses have reached an age when it is permissible to retire from active life; but the French actress Is said to be as energetic as a woman half her <age, Ellen Terry is declared to be aslyoung as ever she was In the palmy days when she and Henry Irving ruled the theatrical world of England. Miss Terry has retired from the stage sb far as acting is concerned, and has taken to lecturing on Shakespeare’s heroines. And who could do better than she who has played so many of the womanly women of the great dramatist? Readers of her breezy biography know what she thinks of Portia, Beatrice, Voila, Rosaland and other famous women of the tragedies and comedies, but no printed page could charm as does the wonderfully expressive features and the velvet voice of the greatest living English-speaking actress.”

SAVED OLD LADY’S HAIR

"My mother used to have a very bad humor on her head which the doctors called an eczema, and for it I had two different doctors. Hers head was very sore and her hair nearly all fell out In spite of what they both did. One day her niece came In and they were speaking of how her hair was falling out and the doctors did It no good. She says, ‘Aunt, why don’t you try Cutlcura Soap and Cutlcura Ointment?’ Mother did and they helped her. In six months’ time the Itching, burning arfd scalding of her head was over and her hair began growing. Today she feels much in debt to Cutlcura Soap and Ointment for the fine head of hair she has for an old lady of seventy-four. “My own case was an eczema In my feet. As soon as the cold weather came my feet would itch and burn anti then they would crack open and bleed. I Then I thought I would flee to my mother’s friends, Cutlcura Soap and Cutlcura Ointment. I did for four or five winters, and now my feet are as smooth as any one’s. Ellsworth Dunham, Hiram, Me., Sept 30, 1909.”

TOO BAD.

Sense of Taste.

From a series of experiments recently made at the University of Kansas it is evident that the average person can taste the bitter of quinine when one part is dissolved in 52,000 parts of water. Salt was detected In water when one part to 640 of the liquid was used. Sugar could be tasted in 228 parts of water and common soda in 48. In nearly all cases women could detect a smaller quantity than men.

LAGER TO WORK. Health Regained by Right Food.

The average healthy man or woman Is usually eager to be busy at some useful task or employment. But let dyspepsia or Indigestion get hold of one, and all endeavor becomes a burden. “A year ago, after recovering from in operation," writes a Michigan lady, “my stomach and nerves began to give me much trouble. "At times my appetite was vora:lous, but when Indulged, Indigestion | followed. Other times I had no appeI dte whatever. The food I took did not sourish me and I grew weaker than I iver. | “I lost interest In everything and 1 wanted to be alone. I had always had good nerves, but now the merest trifle srould upset me and bring on a violent lead ache.

The Haman Heart A i The heart is a wonderful double pump, through th* J action of which the blood stream is kept sweeping YS. round and round through the body at the rate of seven fcj’l I miles an hour. “ Remember this, that our bodies will not stand the strain of over-work without good, pare blood any mora»than the engine can run smoothly without oil.” After many years of study in the active practice of medicine, Dr. R. V. Pierce found that when the stomach was out of order, the blood * impure and there were symptoms of general breakdown, a tonic made of the glyceric extract of certain AIHSHHHbjJjM roots was the best corrective. This he called Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery j Being made without alcohol, this “ Medical Discovery*’ helps the stomach to assimilate the food, thereby curing dyspepsia. It is especially adapted to diseases attended with excessive tissue waste, notably in convalescence from VM ”® U * fevers, for thin-blooded people and those who are always ‘ catching cold.

What Resinol Accomplishes Is Truly Wonderful.

I frequently have patients who are troubled with skin eruptions, and have taken occasion to recommend Resinol, and in some cases the cures have seemed miraculous, and had I not seen them both before and after, would scarcely have believed them true. One lady told me that she had spent over 3100 in various remedies, and was cured with one 50c jar of Resinol. It is truly a wonderful cure for eczema and other itching troubles. F. M. Stevens, D. D.

Literary Accuracy.

“You writg of your hero as stealing home in the darkness," said the editor. “Yes,” replied the author. “Well, you ought to know better than that. He couldn’t steal home in the dark. If it was dark enough to be worth noticing the game would have been called.” No matter how long your nvek may be or how sore your throat, Hamlins Wizard Oil will cure it surely and quickly. It drives out all soreness and infla.mmat.inn. There is no playing fast and loose with truth, in any game, without growing the worse for it—Dickens.
