On October 1st ten of the young folks of Mineola presented to a full house at the Minneola school house the play entitled, “A Fortunate Ca lamity,” which was a very clever three act comedy and was well rendered. Each and every actor played their part as only ones with talent can. Their commedian, Clifford Addison, who played the part of “Rastus,” an old negro servant, was a wonder as was also his wife, “Dina,” who was his sister. Leo Orr is not only an actor but an artist. He made all the scenery used which was equal to some of the scenery used by our traveling troups. A great deal of credit must be given these young folks as they did every thing in connection with the play themselves, not even having an ex perienced one to help them in any way. As this was their first attempt at such work they didn’t feel like charging admission, but had a pie so cial after the play which brought them very near $40.00 for their work and expenses. If more communities would do likewise this would be a better world to live in. McGINT Y-FROST.

Parlsiennes tuv going to such lengths to achieve beauty as quite to put in the shade the painful . operation of “dimpling" (making a hole in the chin by means of a drugged needle). Many women think nothing of having their noses broken and reset in a dif ferent shape, says a Paris correspon dent. Others actually have the eye brows moved upward or downward, as the fancy dictates. This necessitates a complete removal of the hair and either a false and forced growth in a different position or makeup. One beauty expert, who undertakes to change the form of a woman’s lips, has performed many operations. His latest experiment is to make the upper lip turn up, giving it an alluring pout. To do this he stretches a thin hair from the upper lip to the tip of the nose. This effect*, naturally, Is limited to actresses, wno use n on mu only. Some fashionable women are being laughed at for their Insistence on hav ing their cosmetics flavored. One has her lip-rouge tasting of banana. Cats and Weather, Are cats weather prophets? Do their highly-strung nervous systems respond to changes in the atmosphere? It Is an old belief that good weather may be expected when the cat washes her self, but bad when she licks her coat against the grain, or washes herself over the ears, or sits with her tail to the fire. In superstitious days pussie’s response to a coming change in the weather was thought to mean that she had some control over it. A confusion of cause with effect. So sailors were afraid to provoke a cat; in fact they did not like a cat on board ship at all. A frisky cat made them quote the saying: "A cat has a gale of wind in her tall.” The way to raise a gale was to throw a cat overboard. Ruffles on a calm surface from a ris ing wind are still called “cats’ paws ” in some parts or mis *iauu a _ name for the stormy northwest wind is tlie “cat’s nose.” Marry Late. Confucius is said to have played the lute at three, discoursed gravely on prudence and rectitude at five, and at seventeen was made Inspector of the marts, distinguishing himself by re pressing frauds and by introducing order and integrity.
