these ends pass through buttonholed

or they may be slipped beneath cords
or other ornaments.
Concerning Women.
A bachelor who died a few days ago
at Frankfort. Germany, left an endow
ment for a unique annual prize. This
prize of $125 is to be given to the man
who weds the ugliest woman. If the
woman is lame as well as ugly the
bridegroom will receive an additional
$125.
Miss Margaret V. Kelly is Uncle
Sam's highest paid woman official.
She gets $3,000 a year. She is assistant
director of the mint. Actually the sec
retary of the treasury has little to do
with our coin. Miss Kelly attends to
that There are but four persons be
tween her and the secretary of the
treasury, and in their absence she runs
things. Really, she does that anyway
every day in the year.
The Toothbrush league of Baltimore
Is said to have been thought out and
organized by two trained nurses when
the playgrounds were opened at the be
ginning of the season. The object is
to encourage children in the care of
their teeth. The members at present
number 1,000. Tbey. hare alt been
taught how to use their toothbrushes
and have entered a contest for the best
kept teeth. Prizes will be awarded in
each branch of the league.
Lady Duff Gordon gays that the Pari
sienne is losing all her taste and style
and that English women dress very
much better. She says that a man in
Paris has invented a sort of funnel af
fair that is on the order of the crino
line, and there is no telling to what ex
tremes Paris women may go before the
end of the present winter. English
women are said to disdain the idea of
crinoline, but no doubt Its appearance
in Paris would soon be followed by its
adoption by both English and Amer
ican women. .
Ida Lewis and Punch.
The late Ida Lewis, keeper of the
Lime Rock light at Newport, saved
many sailors from drowning and saved
many, too, from drunkenness. She
once rebuked a half dozen sailors who
were preparing to brew a bowl of
strong punch.
"It will get you Into trouble," she
said. "These strong punches always
do. A fine young sailor but he's fill
ing a drunkard's grave today once of
fered me a glass of punch, saying:
" 'Drink It, ma'am. It's food and
drink In one.'
" 'Yes,' said I, 'and a night's lodging
as well If you take enough of it' "
Exchange.
Hard Smokers.
The champion cigar smoker In Paris
kept a cigar alight for two hours and
seventeen miuutes. Nothing is said as
to the length of the cigar. It was a
California miner who wagered that he
would smoke six cigars, six cigarettes
and six pipes of strong tobacco within
an hour. He accomplished the task,
was seized with an attack of heart
failure immediately afterward and
never smoked again. The tenor Mario
smoked from twenty-five to thirty or
dinary sized cigars a day." and In Italy,
where he could" not obtain Havanas,
he used to smoke dally a hundred Ca
vours. They say that Edwin Booth
smoked twenty-five cigars a day. Mark
Twain ran him close. Boston Herald.

him. While walking through the pas
ture he noticed a coat hanging on a
fence. The body was found near the
coat.
That Sharp carefully planned tak
ing his life was shown by a letter
which he left. He wrote that he
could not make a success of the road
work because sufficient money was
not available, and he feared that he
would be criticized.
Sharp lived on a farm which was
a part of a claim taken up by his
father many years ago, with his aged
mother and brothers, Alfred, Frank,
Edward and Walter. He is survived
by three sisters, Mrs. Minerva Mays,
of Willamette, and two who live in
Seattle. The funeral will be held at

ants has different ideas as to the best
way to win the $785 automobile.
While everyone is working hard, some
of the entrants are casting all the
votes they obtain as fast they are
issued, while others in the race, who
really have as many votes are holding
the majority of them back for future
usev Either plan is perfectly legiti
mate, but those who are near the top
of the list must not overestimate
their strength and think they will
have an easy time to win the Ford,
if they only work hard now.
There are at least six well known
men and women who are. contemplat
ing entering the contest as soon as
the first special ten day contest is
ever Friday. One of these men works
in the mill and he can count on the
active support of every mill worker.
Another, prospective candidate is a
man prominently known all over the
county, . whose interests are associat
ed somewhat with educational work.
Either of these men would give the
other entrants a mighty interesting
run for the auto, regardless of the
week's start the late comers would
have to overcome.

Oil Bath For Baby.
This story begins like a fairy tale. It
v not a fairy story at all, but a plain
statement of a very Important subject
the oil bath for a delicate child.
Once upon a time there was born a
tiny baby.
At birth this little mite of humanity
weighed less than five pounds, and the
physician, nurse and parents all' de
spaired of her life..
The child's mother was a frail, deli
cate little woman, who, after a few
weeks, was forced to stop nursing her
infant daughter.
It was only by the most infinite care
thdt baby's life was saved when this
calamity befell her.
Pure fresh cow's milk was modified
and pasteurized, and by a careful study
of proportions a food at last fouud that
agreed with the little one.
Even then much difficulty was en
rountered trying to get the Imby to
feed from a nursing bottle, and th-
troubles of mother and nurse were
many.
Baby lost weight, not much, but a
gradual decrease was noticed until one
week showed a loss of one and a half
ounces.
it was while the mother was bathing
her tiny baby one morning that an old
colored woman who bad nursed the
mother and grandmother before her
came in to see the new arrival in the
family. ' ' ,
It only took a minute for old "Mam
my Harriet" to see the condition of the
child. Raising both bands to her head,
she said: "Laud, honey, you must ruo
dat chile wif goose grease if you wants
her to live: Yes. inn'am. rub her atl
over wif nice warm goose grease an'
git some fat on ber pore little bones."
Old Mammy Harriet then went on to
tell how one of her little charges had
been very near the borderland of heav
en when she had started to rub the
child with goose fat or mutton tallow
every day. and bow it bad waxed fat
and strong as a result of the treatment.
The little mother thought it uo harm to
try, but instead of using animal fat she
warmed a tablespoonful of olive oil
and bathed the baby's body all over
with It just before the little one was
put to bed.
A few days showed a marked change,
and at the end of the week she bad
regained the lost ounce and a half.
Physicians agree that the oil bath is
excellent for delicate children.
When the child is very puny it is a
mistake to bathe the body every day
with warm water, using soap. A lath
er of soap removes the natural oils
from the skin, thus decreasing the fatR
of the body.
Cleanse all soiled portions of the
baby's body with warm water and a
little pure soap, tut give a sponge bath
of clear tepid water over the rest of
the body. At bedtime give baby a
thorough rubbing with pure warm
olive oil.
This Is n good rule to follow when
older children are recovering from an
Illness, are suffering from pulmonary
troubles or are anaemic.
An oil bath taken flatly will put flesh
on a erson as no' bins else will do
Try it for your delicate -?hlld.
The Baby's Pon.
In such a device a mother may place
her little one. with its (oys. and the
child will be quite content for hours at
a time, while the mother is saved wor
ry and anxiety by knowing that her
baby Is safe.
Have you ever noticed an older per
son walking on . the street pulling a
child along by the arm? JBave you
stopped to remark on the way In which
the little arm is held, so high that the
child's whole weight is resting on the
shoulder, muscle which connects the
arm to it? Or perhaps you are one of
the groups who help children along In
that way. If you are just stop to think
of what you are doing.
The strain put on that young muscle,
much more tender than is your own
arm, for Instance, lsv enough to cause
the muscle to give way. No child
should be hurried along. He knows
just bow fast be can walk, and it Is
only harmful to force or to drag hlra.
Lifting him by the arm or arms la such
a way might result in permanent in
Jury. Here Is another suggestion to save
the young muscles from overdoing: A
child should never be allowed to lift or
to carry anything which he cannot raise
with the greatest ease. Such straining
bas been known to result in injury that
undermined the health for a lifetime.
"Baby Bunting" Sleeping Garment.
Now that the healthful habit of sleep
ing out of doors has become so general
that even the tiniest babies take their
daytime naps as well as all night sleeps
In the open many devices for keeping
their little bodies properly protected
are suggested in the shops. One of the
most attractive seen is a sliplike gar
ment called a "baby bunting." fash
ioned of white eiderdown, with edges
bound in ribbon, pink or blue. The gar
ment is closed below the feet, and- the
head is covered with a red riding hood
cap, snug and close. Opening the lit
tle wrapper In front, baby is slipped in
and kept there with only the wee face
visible. The garment is sleeveless, thus
preventing the possibility of cold bands.
