RISING ABOVE AFFLICTION
Paralyzed from her shoulders down,
her useless little shrunken hands lying
quite still on a pillow in front of her,
a small girl dreams of the day when
she will be a famous artist. And
these dreams have brought her a new
power or sense, for this little stricken
one has learned to use her uiouth to
hold her pencils and brushes while she
draws the pictures that are the delight
and pride of the Brooklyn (N. Y.) Hos
pital of St. Giles. The cripple, Ethel
Toussaint, the brave little artist. Is
Just fourteen years old. For seven
years, ever since an attuck of Infantile
parulysis, she has been unable to move
her body. But her mind was busy and
her will to become an artist has
caused her to overcome almost insur
mountable obstacles.

Whether its worth while going
through so much to learn so little, as
the charity boy said when lie got to
the end of the alphabet, la a matter o
taste. I rather think It Isn’t. —Pickwick
Papers.
THINGS WORTH KNOWING.
To remove grease marks from wnll
paper—Make a paste fuller s earth
and ammonia, cover the
spot and let dry; brush
off with a clear, stiff
brush. For delicate pa
per, fold powdered
French chalk In a gauze,
lay the chalk pad on the
paper over the spot and
press with a hot iron;
there should be no mark,
but the grease will have disappeared.
To make shoes waterproof—Melt
beeswax, add a little sweet oil to thin
It. Before the shoes are worn, warm
the soles and pour the wax on with a
teaspoon and hold It close to the heat
to dry In, adding all the leather will
take.
Nickel on stoves should be well
greased with vaseline and wrapped In
paper when It is to be packed from
season to season. When needed to
use. wash In hot soapsuds.
By adding salt to gasoline when
cleenlng spots from garments, there
will be no ring left.
Use warm water to sprlnkie clothes,
and they will be ready to iron much
sooner.
Lemon Juice and salt will remove
ordinary rust stains. Expose to the
bright sunshine and repeat the appli
cation until the spot is removed.
Scorch stains wet with soapy water,
then pat in the sunshine, will become
white again.
Ink stains will often respond to a

It Is an old saying that “It is a poor
pie that will not grease Its own tin.”
but a cuctard or Juicy pie will bake
better and brown on the bottom if the
pan Is buttered a little before putting
the crust in.
To make a good broom holder, take
two large empty spools, two nails an
Inch longer than the spools, put
through them and drive the nails, leav
ing a space between the spools for the
broom to hang In.
When the stove is cracked, especially
if a coal stove, It is quite necessary
that it be mended at once, to avoid
escaping gas. Mix together equal
parts of wood ashes and salt with wa
ter to make a paste, fill the cracks
when the stove Is cold. It hardens
very soon.
When the metal tip comes ofT from
the shoe laces, wax the -end well and
sew over and over with fine thread. It
will answer as well and often longer
than the tip.
It is very strange how like men are
to one another In some things, though
their characters are as different as can
be.

Stops Itching Scalp.
Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff —that awful scurf.
There Is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair

to shrink, loosen and die —then the
hair falls out fast. A little Danderine
tonight—now—any time —will surely
save your hair.
Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton’s
Danderine from any store, and after
the first application your hair will
take on that life, luster and luxuriance
which is so beautiful. It will become
wavy and fluffy and have the appear
ance of abundance; an incomparable
gloss and softness, but what will
please you most will be after just a
few weeks’ use, when you will actual
ly see a lot of fine, downy hair—new
hair —growing all over the scalp. Ady.

BEES MAKE HIVE OF HOUSE
Four Swarms Removed From Building
When a Fifth Arrives at lowa
Home.
Four swarms of wild bees recently
huve removed from tin; two-story house
of Earl Berryman on the East side of
Rockwell City, the Cedar Rapids (la.)
Gazette says. Three of them were lo
cated under the shingles on three cor
ners of the building und one was back
of the weather boarding near the eaves
on the south side of it. About three
bushels of combs were removed, but
the amount of white comb honey was
not nearly so great as the fine yield
this year from good hives in the neigh
borhood. f
A fifth swarm arrived und endeav
ored to gain an entrance to the build
ing at the eaves on the south side.
Failing to find a suitable openiug, this
Bwarm clustered within and around a
four-inch drain tile lying in the grass
aear the building.
