THE MOUTH LIKE
THE RED ROSE.
Secrets Ttut the Telltale Lines
About the Lips of a Woman
Reveal. _
HOW TO MAKt THEM FRAGKANT.
There are women whoee moutha do
noi- euggeat roaea. The main fault ia
the shape. The roaebud mouth should
be rather ahort and a little wider than
it ia long. It ia a little ahort tobe claa
sic. The trouble with the faulty mouth
ia generally F.rat ita ahape, then its ex
preeaion, and lastly ita appointmenta.
The mouth should be fllled with rowa of
white, eren teeth. The lips ahould be a
deep pink, morepink than red.
The roaebud mouth suggeata the roae?
bud in other waya than in ahape and
coior. It muat have the scent of the
roee. Women who can afTord it acent
the lips with a drop of attar of roaea.
The attar being slightly oily will not
dry out the lipa. It may keep them
from chapping. and it certainly makca
them pink and fragrant.
Women who do not want to spend
half a dollar a drop oo attar can do
very well with aubetitUtee. A drop of
any oily perfume will do the work
nicely. Oil of roae geranium iaone aub
atitute.
Of oourae one muat not uae a heavy
aweet odor. Then the peraonality of
a woman muat be taken into account.
One drop of the oil of jeaaamine just
auita one woman. Othera prefer apice,
and if not uaed crudely there ia a cer
tain faecination about thaalight odor of
ipice.
The woman of judgment will be care
ful of the ck?ve or the atick of cinna
mon. She can uae both or either, in
connection with violet. A atrong clove
odor ia not to be deeired by the woman.
The roaebud mouth muat hare no
wrinklee around it. There are women
who carry a great number of dtop
wrinklee alwaya around the mouth.
Theae are the aet wrinklea of deter
mination. Theae are the ahape of pa
rentheaea, and they aurround the mouth
sa though one had marked around it
with a pencil. The determination wrin?
klea look aa though they were there to
?tay. aa they generally are unleaa
treated.
There are wrinklea that are really
marka of happineaa. They are the
smtHng wrinklea There are alwaya a
few dtmplea along theae happy linea,
and the laughing woman need not
worry about them. They are pretty,
and people wiil tell her ahe haa a happy
look.
There are other wrinklea that are not
of happineaa. There waa a woman
who once had a roaebud mouth. One
day a couple of teeth were taken out
on the aame aide of the mouth. The
reeult waa a erooked mouth.
No mouth can atand two mieeing
teeth on the aame aide. The lips drew
a little to one aide, and when the woman
amiled there waa an expreaaion of
eourneas.
It took a dentiat and a maaseuae to
atraighten her face.
If a woman has a erooked mouth her
ftrat trip ahould be to the dentiat. She
will of courae aeek a coametic dentiat
who airas to make ber face better look
ing. Moat dentiata merely aupply fill
ings regardleaB of looka, but the right
kind of dentist will do work that doea
oot show.
No mouth looks like a rosebud aa
long as there ia a deep wrinkle extend
ing from the noae to the mouth. It ia eel
dom aeen in the young, but it ia almoat
alwaya preaent in the face of maturity.
Mouth wrinkles are treated entirely
diff erently f rom other wrinkles because
they are of diff erent origin. They are
dispoaitioo wrinkles. You can judge a
woman'a disposition by them.
"Don't marry a woman whose mouth
ia set in deep round and round lines,"
advised a phrenologist. "Such a woman
will have too much of a will of her own.
"Don't marry a woman with a line
running down one side of her mouth to
her chin. Such a woman will be cranky.
She will have opiniona. Marry a woman
with an evenly balanced mouth.
"Don't marry a woman whose mouth
iinea are heavy and whoae upper lip ia
long. Thia means aelfiahnesa. The
prominent mouth and the retreating
chin in all caaes mean that a woman ia
looking out for heraelf and her own
intereata.
"Don't marry a woman whoae Iinea
are like apider weba encloaing the
mouth aa in a network. Thia meana
that the woman ia a worrier.
"Marry a woman with a ripe red
mouth set in a tranquil face. Don't
be afraid to tell your wife after you
are married that you married her for
her pretty mouth. The woman who
knows that her mouth is pretty will be
much more apt to preserve her beauty
than the one who is in ignorance of the
fact that a good mouth ia her chief
feature."
BEWARE. YOUNG MEN.
We heard one of our young men mak
ing sport of religion in front of our
affice the other day. His moustache
had just began to aprout and judging
from his talk his mental faculties were
not aa well developed as his moustache.
During our brief atay upon earth we
have aeen many just such young men
:old in death. We have seen the
atheist at rest in his casket, but before
being consigned to their last resting
place they have all been carried through
the doora of a church and had prayera
said over them. This young man could
scoff at religion in his strength and
beauty of health, but if the dark angel
ihould get after him he would instinc
tively regret what he said and look into
the future with fear and trembling.
When one stands before the open door
of eterntty hisdesire to scoff at religion
vanishes. We admit there are bad men
in the church, but even theae black
sheep in the fiock might be blacker if
they were outside. No young man or
old one either, shouldcondemn the noble
efforts the army of Chriatian men and
women are making towardB bettering
the condition of things, and whether we
attend church or not but few of us
would deaire to live in a community
arhere there was no church. Young man,
in the future, if you must scoff at re?
ligion, please get a JittU? further from
our office if you do not want to see your
name in print.?Exchange.

DISINFECTION BY SULPHUR.
At this aeaaon of the year, at leaat
in early apring the premiaes of the
houaehold in the process of cleaning,
ahould be disinfected as well. Though
formaldehyde and formalin are chiefly
uaednow, avery cheap affective method
is disinfection by sulphur. Cellars,
rootue which have been closed and
unused through the winter may very
properly be treated by this method.
Moisture is eaaential to convert the sul?
phur dioxide into sulphurous acid aa it
comes in contact with ateam. This may
be accomplished by aetting a large
aized wash tub, two-thirds full of boil
ing water in the center of the room to
be disinfected, stretch lines across the
room?avoiding the center as a precau
tion against fire?upon which to hang
cloths dipped in the boiling water. For
a room ten f eet square use three pounds
of common roll sulphur, broken into
lumps size of a hickory nut, put it into
an iron pan, pour a little alcohol over it
and aet it on a board placed across the
tub (an additional precaution against
fire) and after all the openings in the
room?including the keyhole?have been
cloaed, touch a match to it and leave
the room. closing the door tightly after.
The room should remain closed for
about six hours, after which the windows
and doors can be thrown open, the room
aired and it is again ready for occupancy.

THE LAND OF REGRET.
There ia a city, whosegatea are wide,
U's pavements pure and clean,
Where shadow's lorms flit aide by aide
On the road called "Might Have
Been.''
But folks walk there with their h(ads
bowed 'ow,
And heavy eyelids wet,
For every corner is haunted so
In thi8 "The Land of Regret."
They meet the ghosta of thoae other
years
In dreama of memory sweet,
And wet with passionate. frenzied tears
The gravea which He at their feet;
But never. long aa their lives shall last,
Can they again forget,
Who once have walked with ghosts of
the Past
In thia "The Land of Regret."
They feel the touch of a hand grown
8t.ll,
(Its fingers softly press) ?
The tender paasion of kiases thrill
Their own in a fond caresa.
Ah me! but pity the folks who atray
Where long the sun hath aet,
And walk with the ghoata who're laid
away
In thia "The Land of Regret."
"CLOD-HOPPER" NOT
THE RIGHT NAME.
Last week, while I waB harrowing
the land for com, which quite natur
ally, waa very rough and cloddy, and
managing to step upon and to cruah as
many clods as was possible while walk
ing back and forth through the field, I
was hailed by a gentleman driving along
the road, who exclaimed, "That does
not look very much like hopping clods!"
And while I stood there woodering what
he meant, he further explained that
he'd rather think I waa a clod-crusher.
Then I caught on, and said "Very
fine, I never thought of that before."
But, I wantc.d to know more, so I con
aulted the dictionary and learned that
the name clod-hopper applies to a rude,
ruatic fel)ow, a plowman.
I preBume the gentleman who hailed
me thought I should be hopping over
clods to correspond with my name,
"Clod-hopper."
Very well then, I'll be a "clod
crusher" hereafter, and I tell you fel
low farmers, it would be a very good
idea for us all to be clod-cruahera, or
at any rate acquire the habit of cruah
ing clods one way or other. In driving
acroas the country one obaervea how
many acres planted to com without
loosening and mixing the soil whatevtr.
That's not scientific farming, and one
cannot expect the best resulta from
the land.
A great future is aaaured the young
man who learns to farm intelligently
and scientifically and he need never be
ashamed of himself to wear over-alls or
walk across the fields crushing clods or
pulling up weeds, with the sweat on his
brow, for he ia answering to a high
calling. ? A Fellow Clod-hopper, in Sua
aex Standard.
CONCERNING COMETS.
What is a comet? It is a heavenly
txxly mostly surrounded by tail. A
:omet's tail haa length and breath, but
10 thickness, being so thin you can see
;hrough it. Astronomers have not yet
liacovered whether the comet wags the
:ail or the tail wags the comet, and
Lhey are not trying to, becauae it would
fo on just the aame if they did. The
iifference between a comet's tail and a
:ocktail ia so apparent that if you went
jp to the rail and called for a comet'a
:ail, the barkeeper would be likely to
tell you that you had 'em again and
to get out of there. The part of a
turkey that gets over the fence laat ia
the tail end, but the tail end of a comet
ia not so easy to locate. Usually a
comet's tail is as harmleas as a rabbit's,
but the one now awishing through the
sidereal heavens is said to be compoaed
targely of twenty-eent gas and is dan
gerous to life. Thia aounds like a Con
solidated Gas Company's hint for doijar
gas, and maybe it is. We shall know
more about it when the earth gets into
the gas-belt of the comet.
Do not attempt to step on a comet's
tail, becauae no one knows what might
happen if you did. And do not try to
drive a comet the way you want it to
go, as you would a steer, by twisting
its tail. The reason is obvious. A
comet does not use its tail to shoo the
flies away, becauae there are no fiies on
a comet, even when it gets near the
Milky Way. Several million persons
have recently suggested in print and
elsewhere that a comet may be caught
by putting aalt on its tail, but nobody
has done it becauae nobody seems to
want to catch a comet and wouldn't
know what to do with it if they did
catch it. Besides, it may be a joke to
say that.
However, a comet's tail ia no short
story and cannot all be told in one
writing.
P. S. We do not believe any editor
in this country would havespace to print
a comet's tail, anyhow.

Workmen in the big distilleries of

more than two mugs of beer a day

lesson to drinkers.
In the early days in Virginia every
body had the right to make and sell
liquor. A little later a Iicense to keep a
tavern carried with ittheobligation, not
the privilege, to furnish the gueata with
a specined amouht of rum or wine at
each meal. When nnally the traffic in
intoxicanta waa made the subject of Ii?
cense and tax it was a revenue measure
and waa viewed as a restriction on the
general right rather than the granting
of a particular favor.

Went into a dentist'a and asked how
much he would charge to pull a tooth
that was aching. "Two dollara," he

the dentist said he would pull two teeth

AVERAGE STRENGTH OF MAN.
The average strength of a man increa
ses with age, and then begins to de
:line. The average youth of seventeen
has a lifting power of 280 pounds ac
cording to Harper's Weekly. By his
twentieth year his power has increased
to such a degree that he should be able
to exert a lifting power of 320 pounds,
while his maximum power is reached in
his thirtieth or thirty-sixth year, 355
pounds.
His power then falls but eight pounds
by the time he is forty. From forty to
fif ty the decrease of power has dropped
to 330 pounds. The average power of a
man of fifty is equal to that of a youth
of twenty. From fifty to sixty on it be?
gins to decline more rapidly.

carbon filament in the incandeecent
lamp givea only 43 per eent of the en

the humble firefly givea no leae than

that so great a light can be produced
with next to no perceptible heat. Here
