as I expected to he said but I got hold of two movements that will eradicate wrin kles and remove fat in an incredible way Nubia is a queer place They have bo little water there that they never take baths The masseh or kneading whence our word massage is the baths substitute You strip Ho down and are covered from head to foot with a cream made of mutton fat musk sandalwood powder and ceitaln plant Juices Then you are kneaded you are massaged I studied the Nubian movements thoroughly and learned as I say good things The Nubians are a handsome and queer race They hunt elephants with the sword A hunter steals upon a doz ing elephant and slashes him in the back of the leg ten inches above the hoof This cut severs the artery and the elephant bleeds to death They cook meat on hot stones First they build a Gre then they put big stones on it and when the stones are hot enough they clean them of ashes and embers carefully aud throw on the meat This is a better way of cooking than the broil for it preserves all the meat juices But greenhorns dont know what kind of stones to use Most kinds heated explode The Nubians are shapely and hand some They never wrinkle they never get fat their skins are smooth and fine They Impute these graces to the masseh the massage that they take regularly three or four times a week Every masseur ought to go to Nubia if he wants to learn his business thor oughly GLOBULES One third of the land surface of the globe is covered with trees A Birmingham man named Batchelor has just married a young lady named Widdow A penny Is estimated to

coinage consists chiefly of whales teeth those of greater value being dyed red The natives exchange twenty white teeth for one red one as we change copper for silver Where Vessels Have Eyes Painted on the prow of nearly all the junks or Chinese sailing vessels are to be seen huge eyes It is believed by the superstitious inhabitants of Chi na that if the eye which la raised as in relief was not there the vessel could not see where to go and would there fore come to destruction Even if when at sea the eye got destroyed or damaged another would have to be painted in at once No Chinaman will sail on a junk which Is not adorned by an eye and even an English pas senger boat which piles between two Chinese towns has a huge eye painted on each side of her paddle boxes A Saco Me florist has

little rela tion with tacb other or with the in ward grief which they are supposed to typify Yet by the exercise of a lit tle patience many resemblances may be discovered among them The wid ows cap for example dates back to the days of ancient Egypt Egyptian men shaved the beard and head as a token of mourning The women In stead of cutting off the hair concealed it by a close cap The Romans who were as a race clean shaven shaved the head in mourning and Avore a wig The black band on the sleeve as a sign of mourning comes to us from the days of chivalry The lady tied a scarf or napkin as tho handkerchief was called about the arm of her knight If he was killed in battle she wore the band in memory of him Black has so long been the color of grief in Anglo Saxon countries that it seems a part of the upside down civ ilization of the east that Japan and China wear white But no longer ago than the time of Elizabeth the unfor tunate Mary of Scotland wore white on the death of Darnley Even now the hearse used for children Is white and in England the mourners at fu nerals of young unmarried persons wear hatbands and sashes of white A queer English custom Is that of decorating the black hearse horses with lbntr false black tails They attract no more notice on a street in Liverpool than do the black nets used in this country to cover the horses A great many sensible people protest that wearing tokens of mourning is a barbaric custom that should be abol ished or greatly modified but when loss and grief actually come into the individual life one discovers that there is a strange subtle fitness in gloomy garments and that they answer to the need of the soul for silence and sepa ration ODD DERIVATIONS Carious Hldtory of tlie Word Vote now Reticule Got Its Xanic Vote is a word with a curious his tory To the Roman a votum was a solemn promise made to a deity From the solemn promise itself the meaning of votum gradually became the prayer or Intense wish that accompa nied the promise and then any intense wish vhatever So far the develop ment proceeded in Latin and vote passed Into English with tho same sense When Ben Jonson wrote of public votes to heaven he meant not mass meeting resolutions but prayers Finally vote acquired its present meaning the formal and emphatic ex pression of a wish while the old sense remains with Its double vow That openwork bag for shopping called a reticule gets its name directly from the Latin reticulum little net Popularly however the word ia supposed to owe Its existence to the fact that when an Englishwoman visit ed the first Pari exhibition with her little bag In hei nand the Parisians cried Ridicule The Englishwoman misunderstanding the exclamation is said to have thought It the correct translation of little bag and return ed to England calling it a reticule Philologists claim that the phrase to sleep like a top comes from the French dormir comme une taupe to sleep like a mole It is said too that Cinderellas slippers were not made of glass but of valr the old French word for ermine which in time became corrupted into verre glass Chicago News He Stopped the Couphin One Sunday morning a clergyman tvas greatly annoyed by the unusual amount of coughing among his congre gation He had not a strong voice and could only be distinctly heard when the people were still and attentive As the coughing went on and even grew worse he suddenly stopped right in the middle of the sermon All eyes were Instantly turned to the pulpit every cough was hushed and there was per fect silence My friends said the minister with a smile it seems you stop when I stop This gentle rebuke had the desired effect The people found that their coughing could be kept down when they liked to a great extent and the minister proceeded with his sermon under far more favorable conditions - ly - Y BORN BABE 3 A IliTTY Proprietor McCOOK NEBRASKA V7TCiiJT77rrvB TTrTTirTr iinmnJiimgMtanrawiH iiliii u sr a T JjUJJC NOTHING BUT SHOES - iti
