An old mountain preacher used to
tell of a lawyer a friend of his, who
lived at the county Beat of a mountain

the client always invited the lawyer to

the hills one winter day, and. late In
the afternoon he found himself in the
vicinity of his client. He decided to
accept the often-repented invitation.
After inquiry, he found the shack
one of the poorest he had ever seen. As
there was no sgu of barn or shed, bo

the big fireplace with the backlog, and

fire.
The coals brightened as he stirred
them and ndvl"d kindling. The sparks

fetching and becoming.
All the newest collars have ruflles

Buttons are a most favored trim

tailored gowns nnd summer frocks,
but upon the more elaborate evening
costumes. They are oft-times placed
(ho full length of the clinging sUirt at
one side, in the center front or iu the
center back. This line of buttons Is
a continuation of the buttou trim
ming upon the bodice portion, and Is
one of the little tricks employed to
give tho much-desired "long-line" ef
fect. One of the prettiest fashions of a
year of pretty fasnlous is that of
threading the skirt of a frock with
ribbons at flounce depth. Instead of
using the beading which was formerly
employed in carrying out this Idea,
this present mode demands that ne
tual silts be cut in tho dress. These
are buttonholed and the ribbon or vel
vet Is then passed iu and out. The
fullness of the skirt is drawn In to
suit the figure of tin wearer, a result
which is the reason for discarding the
less troublesome bending. The ends of
tho ribbon are either tied nt Intervals
or aro all looped at tho loft side.

Insomnia is not the uncommon fate of
the bralnworker, who, after years of
continuous mental strain, retires from
active life. The real reason Is that
mental activity deinaiiils a large supply
of blood for tho brain, aud the. blood
vessels gradually accommodate them
selves to this hirs:o supply. But, when
the hard work is over, tin brain docs
not always realize that It needs less
nourishment, and hence the condition
of excessive mental activity, which is

That excessive talking Is the cause

theory cbilsirated before tho Psycho

vicar. "An excessive talker Is a human

are great talkers, who discuss Imagin

Camphor to Cure Cold,
One of the most efficient remedies tot
breaking up a cold during lbs earliest
stage is camphor. When the eyoa begin
to water and there Is an accompanying
tingling of the nose and feeling of
chilliness, place three drops of caxupbar
on a lump of loaf sugar nnd place the
sugar In the mouth.
Repeat this every fifteen minutes till
four or five doses have been taken. At
the samo tlnio place the feet where they
will become thoroughly warm. Tills
will usually prove effectual in breaking
up a cold If the cold is taken at Its
very beginning. For a child but one
drop should be placed upon the sugar,
and five or Blx doses administered.
