We tune always hern under the Impression that the English women were blest with one of the Hnest complexions in the world, suys the Electrical Experimenter, but here comes a cable froti. London telling of the popularity accorded io a new fad in the English city—tlint of electrically tattooing it permanent complexion or blush on the face. The report goes on to say that I the pallid nnd sallow faces of London women are being permanently brightened and given a rosy tint by expert tnttooists, whose eleetrlc needle applications ean tie graduated to suit any ptivsiognoiny. and further, that the tattooists report they have never done such a thriving i.ml protiiuhle business

among women as now.

Among the many cities, towns and villages scattered over the world there Is not one which does not have some particular eharacterisiie, some custom which makes it apart from all others. It is the little villa*- of St. Albans, situated among the broad, sloping hills of New' England, which will perhaps bring out lids spirit most clearly, for a Inin t its quaint custom the l•^,lnall(•e , of Anne Bryce and lohn Cameron Is

woven.

On the slope hehlnd St. Albans stands a sinnll church, and by Its doorway one muy read a bronze tablet slating that in 18G5 tin* church was erected by a certain Charles Longworth In memory of his son. who died for the Northern cause in ISfil. As the old sexton conies up on Ids tour of work iiinl inspection he will tell you that whenever any festivity takes place In die village it whs the wish of tlie founder that the bells in the ivy-

covered tower tie rung.

Many times the hells had pealed forilt while white-clnd brides had slipped eluslvely away will) their husbands. and It was on such mi occasion when the minister’s son had been married that Anne Bryce and John Cameron were sitting on a grassy knoll

overlooking the village.

“The Klondike ealls me tomorrow. Anne.” he snid gently. Then looking | toward the Northwest, "\fliat n land i of promise! What shall I not'be able 'to do for you when I return! And then It will be but a year or so before

1 hid hack iignin!”

“But it year or so.” Anne nunmtired "Bill, perhaps the next time the bells of Si. Albans ring it will he for you

and me. Anne.”

The sun was selling. They rose and walked slowly down Into die village. The next morning John Cameron, departed for the Klondike, and, as the ) train slowly drew out from the station. Anne waved a good-bye with her handkerchief. then quickly rubbing her eyes she went home to wait "for u year or

so.”

How Egypt Is Prospering.

In tin Interesting pnpi-r recently rend before the Cu'ro Geographical society by William Wlllncks is described how many of tin* fellnheens' wives hove profited by the rising tide of ngrlcultunil prosperity, to start a little money lending on their own account, and not infrequently to their htishnniK In one thriving village where the value of the hind held by (tie fellnheens amounted to uliotit $1,(mhkmki, mostly in smull holdings, they hud cleared off their indebtedness except for S125.IKKI. In lids community SO per cent of the women had money out on loan, nnd their hushands were found to have borrowed from them hI- * togeiher no lc-- than o.'t0.tiy(l, usually tit very high rates of Interest. The profits ut least remain in the family Instead of going to tin* Greek and Coptic money lenders, and certainly strengthens tin* woman's hold upon her husband, In a country where, according to Mohammedan customs, he can divorce |

How Dike Was Wrecked. For most people the dikes of Holland have held a romantic suggestion of peril ever sinee mother read them tlie story of the hoy who stopped the leak with Ids arm. Some time ago u dike near Amsterdam was undermined, not by the seepage of the sen, hut by heavy rains. The disintegration of the earthen cniimnkment destroyed a milroad line along the top and completely wrecked a loaded passenger train, killing at least 50 and injuring 100 travelers. The cars were rolled to the bottom .of the bank in a tangled mass.—

Three years hud passed, and Anne Bryce's pretty liltle cottage seemed to rellect the very atmosphere of the July day. The front gate creaked, and a tall, good-natured looking man stalked up the path. Anne was sitting

on the piazza shelling peas.

"Miirnin’, thought I'd come to talk

n little bit, do you mind. Anne?”

"Oh. .Ice, of course 1 don’t mind. Sit

down.”

Joe stretched Ills long legs the length of the steps, nle two or three

green pens and then asked:

"Heard anything from John? When’s he coming or isn’t lie coming at all?" She sighed. “I’m waiting. Joe. I i haven't heard anything about him since lie left, except that one letter lie wrote Just before lie got to Alasku; but I tielieve he is safe, and I will always keep to tny promise that I'd

be here when lie came liimie!”

"Utnpb I Anne, If lie doesn’t come hack pretty soon do you think you

could ever look my wny?"

“No, I’m sorry. Joe. hut I snid ! would wait, and the hells of St. Alhatis haven't rung since he went away. M< Imped they would ring for us when he returned, nnd I know they will." And she set the dish of shelled pens down with a thud as If to emphasize her determination. Joe arose awk-

wardly.

"Well. I must he a-goln’; perhaps you may consider my proposal some time, Anne." And tie sauntered off disappointed. "If I didn't have any more to do than to sit on folks’ doorsteps and propose I declare I would—” Anne exclaimed as she hustled nhoiit in the kitchen, and then stopped short and turned around for she saw a shadow fall across the doorway. A very different sort of man stood before her now; pale, tired and hnggared looking, his face partly covered by a long beard, while his hair was streaked with gray. For a moment Anne looked startled, then with a lit tie cry she fairly flew to him. "John. I waited oh, so long. Inn you are here now. It all seems too good to be true!" “Yes—Anne, here I nm. 1 haven't brought hack what I hoped I could goodness knows, hut. In spite of that, perhaps”—nnd ns he looked down Into her face—"Yes. surely the hells of Sr. Albans will ring for us ns they novel have rung before!”

Tin* rapid whirring of tin* sewing machine stopped suddenly, and Kloise turned sharply around in her chair and facet) her sister squarely. “Are you nearly finished?” she asketl with assumed gaiety. "Oh, no.” Virginia answered sleepily, carefully scrutinizing iiic beautiful piece of embroidery In her lap. “Why don't you leave It for a little while?” Eloisc teased. “Oh. I could not possibly do that,” enme the determined answer. With a tinal, wistful glance out of the window at the wonderful snovvcovered world, ihe stitcher’s sigh mingled with the renewed buzzing of the exasperathig machine. But it did not buzz for long, for she soon threw her work aside and jumped to tier feet j

with h laugh.

“Come, now, sis, why not don our | beloved snow shoes and strike off for | the woods? Let us geek some l brill ing romance in the cold, open conn- j try! 1 Just know that romance is only 1 waiting for us. Perhaps some daring j lo ro will he waiting to rescue us flora ; s-nne wild animal in the heart of tlie j

“Romance?” Virginia spoke In disgust. “That word was not meant for i I us! And who ever heard of wild ttni- ! | mills in our woods? Eloisc. please be

sensible and let me work.”

“Very well, fair sister.” Kloise spoke lightly, “hut I must he off for I hear the urging cull of Hie wild,” nnd she ran happily from tlie room. Soon s|i,. returned, becomingly dad in her sport costume, with snow shoes tucked under her arm. The bright red cap matched tlie flushed cheeks and laughingly antagonized the bright sparkle In the fair blue eyes. i “I am only answering the call of the I wild,” she laughed softly, "and seek- I Ing my lost romance.” and the front |

door banged.

Then Virginia was sorry that she had s*, Insistently refused the Invitation for the hike, for her work was already becoming tiresome. She watched her enthusiastic sister strap on her snow-shoes and start gracefully along, stopping only long enough to wave a bright nilttened hand at her. ”1 sball go into tlie woods,” she

thought.

It was not long before the open highway was passed and ihe dusky woods lay before her. With a deep sigli of contentment, she (hissed into their majestic quietness. Blit as she wandered along bet Joyful spirits hegan to lower and her thoughts wandered back to other days. She was thinking of the many happy times passed In these woods with Toni. Some tiny tracks In the snow nttraeted her attention. “Why not follow lids rabbit trail?” she asked herself lightly. Kloise wiped the perspiration from her forehead and smiled at her apparently endless undertaking, mentally resolving to go to the end. She did not notice how rapidly the woods were petting dark, and that only the tip of Ihe sun could he seen below the tiv.-s. She was thinking only of following the trnll. l-’innlly her seareh was rewarded. for her tracks ended at the stump of a tree. She leaned against the tree to rest herself. There was suddenly a rustling In the underhnish. She stood ter rifled and wondered if perelianee there were any wild animals there! ’I lie crunehlng sound emne nearer, and Kloise could stand It no longer! With a fraiilie ery s|| ( . started to run. forgetting that tier feet were encased In large snowshoes. Somehow the snowshoes hernme tangled In some hnlf-eoneenled branches and, with another ery. she fell headlong Into hank of snow. She did not dare to move, for the sound was enmltig rapidly toward her. It was upon her! If It were a hear. It would think that she were deatl, but she trembled at the thought. "Can't you get up?” somebody was asking pleasantly In her ear. It was fully a minute before she could extricate herself from Ihe snow enough to see If the owner of the voice were truly Tom. And his surprise was even greater when he found out who this Marathon anowshoe runner really was. "Why, Tom!” she gasped weakly. "Why, Elolse!” he echoed happily. For a moment they eyed each other silently, and then they laughed. "Why did you run?" he asked, good-

naturedly.

"I beard n rustle in the bushes.” she answered, sheepishly. “Listen, there it

Is again!”

Tom listened, and as he rose to his feet with an Impromptu club In his hand the gentle face of a cow peered at them through the branches. "Oh." they gasped in one breath, and then the quiet woods rang with

laughter.

"Well," Tom laughed contentedly, "I have found my cow and you. I know that I have been a brute, and I am sorry, but I was too ashamed to explain before. You see, I wrote two | Important letters to you, nnd when j you did not answer, I thought you did not core. But n few days ago 1 found my letters In my forgetful brother's pocket, nnmalled!

DOES AWAY WITH WRINKLES How French Specialist, by Simple Operation, Creates a Skin That Is Permanently Smooth. Obliteration of wrinkles in Ihe fore head is effected by Dr. JuJIen Bourget of Paris, hy making a curved incision on either side, a few centimeters from Ihe median line and at tlie junction of the forehead and hairy scalp, removing n crescent-shaped , piece of skin, convex above, nnd closing the wound with fntradermnl sutures. Wrinkles In the temporal region, starting nt the outer comer of the eye. nnd extending outward In a fanshaped figure, are removed by spreading out the external margin or base of the triangle. An angular Incision Is made in the area forming the border of the temporal nnd frontal regions, and resection of a corresponding angular fiiece of skin, followed by intrndermn! suturing, gives the desired result.

REAMS in which tlie sense of smell is present are of the rurest. ' Yet they do sometimes occur and Unit they have attracted attention for h long time is evidenced hy the fact thnt Interpretations of them have been handed down through the centuries by the mystics. They accotinl it a most happy omen to dream that you smell perfumes, and to lids rule there seems to he only one exception—the smell of rosemary in a dream is said to foretell mourning; though to see it and not smell it Is good fortune. All other perfumes mean that you will be well spoken of by your acquaintances and will associate with people of Intelligence and standing: nil your enterprises will turn out successfully. But let the married man whose wife dreams that she puts perfume on her head look to himself; there Is going to lie only one boss in thnt household and

Why I lie dream consciousness, which deals so readily and acutely with most other sensations, should he so chary of handling olfactory tmes is puzzling—something for Professor Freud yet to explain. The scientists have endeavored to excite ‘‘smell dreams” by (he application of odors to (lie sleeper’s nostrils, hut experiments in this direction have not usually been successful and Ellis cites an experiment mad* by Prof. W. S. .Monroe upon twenty women students at the Westfield Normal school. A crushed clove “was placed on the tongue for ten successive nights before going to bed. Of the 254 dreams reported there were only eight "smell ilreitnis," and only three of these actually involved cloves. The real "smell dream” occurs without any "objective” source, and it would seem to be a most difficult matter to force the dream conseionsness artificially to take cogn' znnee of a sense of smell.

How to Avoid Deafness. Keep yourself from retting deaf, of Improve your hearing !f deafness has begun, hy "ear drill." That, at any rate. Is tlu> advice of Dr. J. Madison Tawlor. Here Is the result of an experiment tie made: "I Inaugurated a series of movements that were designed to restore elasticity to the tissues of the neck, the jaws nnd the enr structures. The patient was then sixty-nine years of age; now is eightyseven. After a month of thesp exercises there was a 30 per cent Improvement of the hearing.” Yawning has long been recognized ns a means of aiding the muscles of the throat and chest.
