One has only to lock throngh tho list
of the most e.-ipensive toilet luxuries to
find that rigbtlnlly cucumber prepara
tions bold a very important and expeu-
eive place, and jnst now it tb« time for
the wise housekeeper to preserve their
pooling nud healing qualities, not only
for her own and children’s use, but for
the comfort of the pater also.
To make cucumber oreum. which not
oulycleurs and cleanses the complexion,
but is also vety healing, proceed as fol
low»: Remove the »oft part from two
or three cucumbers, warm sufficiently
and squeexe through a hair sieve. To
hulf a tcacupful of this and a teaspoon
ful of glyierin uud five drops of salicyl
ic acid. Both the lutter are preserva
tive», and if glycerin does not agree
with the skin tho acid alone will
be soffleient. Aud a few drops of «.uy
perfume liktd, and the ointment is
ready for uho .
While cucumt c’s are plentiful it is
well to have thick iliccs of the softest,
with tlie soup on tho wasb.taud, anil to
use ufter the former, to rab fnoe, hands
and throat, finsiug afterward. “ The

the awful solitude in which she lived
nutil she was nearly 14 year, old.
What has been accomplished with her
in that short timo is almost incredible.
Not long ago Miss Huguewood was
presented with a beautiful typewriter,
and the other day, at the request of the
correspondent of the Chicago Timei-
Herald, she wrote a letter to tho editor
upon it. bhe wrote this note without
any aid whatever, never missing a let
ter und handling her machine as expert
ly us might bo expected of a girl in tbo
full possession of all her five senses.
There is not a single misspelled word
in the com muni cation.
At 14 she was taken to the asylum
for tho blind ut Vinton, la., and al
though at thut age she was yet unable
to walk she wus in perfect health.
When she entered the asylum, she wua
unable to commnuicate a single thought
to unntber bnmun being.
The Iowa legislature appropriated
$600 and Miss Donald devoted ail hor
time to her pupil.
Miss Haguowooil is able to cot and
sew her own garn ents, to write letters
on a typewriter, to read readily her
¡Sunday school paper and her Bible and
to write slowly on the tablets which are
provided for the blind.
By her delicate sense of touch she is
able to lecoguixe her friend» and even
to remember on second meetiug those
whom she has noticed before. She ia
able to recognise at the first touch those
whom she knows woll.
,
She is passionately fend of flowers, of
dress and jewelry, and, next to her type
writer, her dearest possession I n a gold
ring with a beautiful setting, presented
her by the iuuica of Sioux Falls

A novel p bceof jeweiry is the ptiralc
lock brurelet, the chain of wLich ia se
cured by a lex k formed of three revolv
ing pieces co| raved with flgurrs or let
ters. Only by urranging these in some

a» the figure, may make an immense
number of eetnbiusliejns, tlie "op.“ **■
same" Is vy cll nigh impossible of attain
ment except by the owner. The idea of
this device Is that tho bracelet can be
taken off aud ns«d to chaib a bicycle to
the railings while the rider is in a house
it store, ns a fusttuiug to a traveling
bug and for many other purposes of the
sort. Most people would be apt to » ifer
Cfnaims of anxiety in leaving it aa a
loi k to a bicyclo but le t the maker’s as-
suraDco that these brace lets, which are
mail« in a variety of design«, are so
strong as to render the length of time
required for filing them through a risk
which the bicycle thief would act ven
ture to tacur, while it is impoasible to
brvitk the lock or to open it in any other
way than by the mysterious code. — Ban

moans that the fellow who 1» making
tho awkward over is down, and the game
begins anew. In ease "hats" is pawed
successfully, tho next step is an over,
and the hats arn placed on the ground.
After thu next over they must be picked
up with the teeth and toHscd backward
over the hoy who Is down. To touch
the hut of any other hoy in tho game,
either picking up or ufter the toss ho»
been made, is a fault The game ia sel
dom played through, for tho mischief,
and therefore the enjoyment, consists in
placing obstacles in the way of one's

tai,ie from which the leap is made. But
this is a dangerous pastime and should

It happened in a Missouri school.
Little Dick had been caught throwing
paper woun . and tho teacher ordered him
to step forward. Dick camo rcluetoutly,
hanging his head.
"Who would like to go out and get a
switch for me?"
Instantly every boy in school rose up
in his Beat and lifted his hand as high
as he could. Getting switches wus a
keen Joy.
"You may go, Walter,” said tho
teacher, and Walter strutted out vwy
proud indeed. A few minutes later he
came back with a huge switoh and
banded it proudly to tho teacher. The
larger the switch the more excitement
there-mlght he wlieu the teacher enme
to use i t The errand being done, Walter
went back to hta scat and sat virtuously
looking on.
Dick was switched. In tlie course of
the punishment he jump« d up and down
and «creamed a good deal. The switch
struck his shoe and suddenly auappud
off short. The end went whizslng across
the room straight for Walter’s scat,
where it hit him squarely on the none,
cutting a slight gash.
Dick, who had been wailing aloud,
saw the accident and burnt out laughing.

Ot^edieQt to thu slightest hint giveq by
his mahout.

bis shuffling way at thu rutu of 16
miles an hour, when hu likes.
There in tine thing that hu is riot—bo
is nut a really clever animal, in spite
of ull thu talus in the story hooks to tbo
contrary; otherwise ho would not »tiller
hims-lf to be so easily captured in tho
kheddaht, tho hugo forest Ificlosures in

Ail the notion» which are apparently

ear» it is very easy to imagine that the

him on the toe nail with a billed cf
wood, or—if free from risk of discutety
by his European master—prinking hi»
trunk with a »pear till blood How*.
An elephant has rarely been known
to retaliate suvq when it tnust. When
that curious madness comes on him, no
ouu dnres approach -him in his pickets.
If bo bo token in must, and tbo tac* es
