when .lack McGeehan. a boy of 12.
wa.ked in leading a little billy-goat by

walk, and asked the doctor in attend

experienced immediate relief from the
operation and was led out by his

THE FIRE PICTURE TRICK

room Yen show ycur fnerds a blank
he-t of paper (the room must be
ight enougn to let 'tta see *hat It

hold. you see on the shee* of paper
a burnt pi *ure or design, which has
been traced by the spark
The secret of th** trick is tha* th* '
paper. »h( ugh it appears blank, ha
rea.ly had the picture drawn on it .
beforehand. It is not drawn with j
pencil or p*en and ink. but with a
fine brush, a pen or a pointed stic*;

Thin whi'e wrapping paper is a good

The soiution is colorless, and leaves
no s'ain. though the picture is really
'here drawn in saltpe'er Now salt
peter, which is also tailed niter and

know, one of the ingred. r.’s of gun

saltpeter (ombines with or burns. the j

SOME VERY QUEER LAKES.
One Is of Pitch. Another Is Rose-Col
ored and a Third Has a
Crust of Sait.
One f the most sing i.ar lakes In the
w<>r’ ! is the r» lehrated Pitch iak<- of the
island of Trinidad Th.s iake sprtads
over aii area of acres, and it-surface
- • otnposcd of one great floating mass
of asphaltiino seamed with veins of clear
w • ■ From it and a similar lake in
\ • ne/uela the world's supply of aspha.t
Is drawn
Th* Pitch lake is a hideous plac
as far a*- smtl.s ar< concerned, ft.r the
air aii a iout it is heavy with noxious
vapors, and fr> m the tenter of the
lake gushes a ftiuniain of liquid asphal
tum in which then float and break hub
bies containing the mi st horrible gases.
The workmen go out on the surface of
t his lake and cut's r< at slab? of asphalt urn.
which are carted away. But the nex*
morning the hole they left is filled up
again with pitch which has risen during
the night, so that the supply seems to be
inexhaustible.
This curious lake was discovered by
Sir Walter Raleigh when he landed In
Trinidad In 1595. on his way to the
mouth of the Orinoco in search of El
Itorado.
Another strange lake is situated on a
peninsula which juts out Into the Cas
pian sea. The whole surface of this
lake is covered with a crust of salt so
thick and strong that a man can ride
across it on horseback with safety.
In central Asia, near the Caspian sea.
.s a .ake of a beautiful rose color, while
the banks are covered w ith salt crystals
as white at snow From the waters
of this lakt there arises flower-like odor.
The color and the odor are supposed to
be caused by vegetable matter in the
depths
There used to be a curious lake on the
top of the Volcano de Agua, In Guata
mala, M.OOti feet above the level of the
sea. It was not fed by springs nor by
rivers, but was caused by accumulations
of snow and rain—in fact, was an im
mense reservoir. It lasted for centuries.
Then, one day. the sides of the lake
gave way, and down the waters rolled,
dealing death and destruction, and dig
ging a great barranca, or ravine, in the
mountain side, which is still visible.

The Happiest Age of Woman.
^ hen a girl is 18 she thinks the
best time of a woman's life must cer
tainly be from 18 to 22. When she ha
passed her twenty-second year, she is
decidedly of the opinion that from
th«n until the age of ns really mark*
the iirni's of the best lime and when
20 comes on the scene she is ready
to give way to al! those who believe
a woman to be then at the zenith or
her life, it is generally maintained
that after 25 the average woman be
gins to a"ain her physical and mental
perfection, and that for some eight or
ten years after this she still retain?
her charms undlrninished. After this
time, of course, it depends en'irely
upon the woman whether she chooses
to advertise her years, or by her
charming personality and clever dress

HOW TO CRY HYGIENICALLY

A real good cry,' said the facial art

face as ,t is soothing to the feelings.

the ustomer in astonishment as she

"Crying, je? sniveling and moping

The Newest Shapes in Hand Bags
NOWADAYS a bag of some de
s« ription—either of leather, silk,
beads or the like—is supposed to
form a part of every woman's stree'
or carriage costume; and this season
seems to have brought forth a more
varied and beautiful array of bags
than ever.
On account of its durability leather
is m :hc long nm the most satisfac
tory material Among the newest bags
shown are those illustrated herewith.
The carriage, or hand bag of tan Eng
lish pigskin (Fig 1). may be had also
in seal, alligator, levant and lizard
In any color to suit the costume. Al
though but eight inches long by five
wide, it is fitted out in a complete
manner with large and small compart
ments. Besides the usual pockets for
cards, bills, etc . provision is made for
an ‘ndexed memorandum book, a flat
case containing mirror and powder
puff, a small purse. The hag. which
fastens neatly with a narrow strap, is
carried by a silver chain and ring. A
smaller bag. made after this design,
' aries only in the number of compart
ments.
The "Peggy from Paris" bag (Fig
-I, which comes in different colors of
seal, gains instant approbation be
cause of its neatness and commodious
ness it is only six inches deep and
a trifle more than ten inches at its
longest point, yet its capacity is quite
remarkable. The fullness—which
makes possible much crowding—is put
into the frame, front and ha. k. in a
double box plait, at each side of which
are three single plaits. Heavy moire
siu is used for lining the bag which
is completed by two narrow strap han
dles and a jeweled clasp.
More of a novelty is the seal bag
