Origin of Veil Lost.
It is hard to tell where the wearing
of the veil first had vogue; many
think it originated In Egypt, for It
was worn there centuries ago. The
Greek brides wore chaplets instead of
a veil. These wreaths were plucked
by the brides themselves for good
hick. They usually were made of wild
thyme, myrtle, evergreen, and roses.
Roman maidens wore yellow veil
crowned with a wreath of verbina.
To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new things
who is reasonably satisfied with the
old. we would suggest that a trial of
Defiance Cold Water Starch be made
at once. Not alone because it is guar
anteed by the manufacturers to be su
perior to any other brand, but because
each 10c package contains IS ozs.,
while all the other kinds contain but
12 ozs. It is safe to say that the lady
who once upes Defiance Starch will use
no other. Quality and quantity must
win.
Wash Sheep With Fire Engine.
. A remarkable use for the fire en

There a little steam fire engine throws
100 gallons a minute oa the fleece of
each animal. Even horses are washed
in a similar manner.

noon for Russell Safe.
Russell Sage seldom takes any amuse
ment. His pleasure is working and
athering in the gold eagles'. Yet
Uncle Russell not only had to pay for
ckets for an entertainment but he
had to pay the second time.
A few years ago Miss Helen Govld

son for the benefit of the aavy branch
of the Young Men's Christian associa
tion. The tickets of admission were
Si each. Mr. and Mrs. Sage are close
friends of Miss Gould, and she often
entertains them. Mr. Sage bought
two tickets.
On the afternoon of the lawn fete
':e and Mrs. Sage left New York for
'rvington, and thence went to Miss
Gould's by stage. Miss Gould's orders
v.ere that no one should be admitted
"j the grounds without a ticket. The
police were on band to enforce this
command.
The stage that Mr. and Mrs. Sage
came in was full "of people. Tickets
vrere demanded, and every one showed
v.is excepting Mr. Sage. He fumbled
around in all his pockets, and kept the
stage and its occupants waiting for
nbont five minutes.
Finally he said: "I'm Russell Sage.
I bought two tickets, but I have for
gotten to bring them."
The ticket man replied: "Miss
Gould's order is that every one mu6t
have a ticket You are blocking the
way; so please give me 12 or stay
out."
Mr. Sage reached down deep and
brought out two old dollar bills and
handed them to the ticket man. heav

the story was that Mr. Sage found the
two missing tickets after he was in
the grounds.
Signs His Name But Seldom.
It may seem strange, but for fifteen
years John D. Rockefeller never
signed his name to a check. All his
business was done by trusted men. In
fact his signature is unknown to many
banks in New York city and vicinity.
A small bank did a few years ago re
ceive a small amount of money to de
posit in his name. It remained in
the bank untouched for some time,
when one day Mr. Rockefeller stopped
in and going up to the cashier asked
if he had not some money on deposit
there. When told that he had, he
asked how he could draw out some.
This appears like a fable with a
man so wealthy, but it actually hap
pened. When told that he could draw
a check, he seemed greatly pleased,
and wrote one out for $100. He. did
this at different intervals until all the
money was gone. Then the bank ne
gotiated with the head office for an
other deposit. When told that Mr.
Rockefeller had drawn out all the
money, the chief clerk became indig
nant and refused to place any money
in the bank, saying: "We do not want
Mr. Rockefeller going around draw
ing out money in that way." It is not
so now, for Mr. Rockefeller has his
private account and carries a bank
book with him.
Water Drunkards.
"Do you see that man across the
street?" asked the doctor. "Well, he
is, in many ways, a most estimable
person. He is attentive to his busi
ness and successful at it; he is a
leader in his church; he is a good
husband and father; he doesn't smoke
and never touches alcoholic liquor.
And yet that man he doesn't know
it, but it's true is a drunkard.
"How can that be? I'll tell you.
He's a water drunkard. Fact. At
this time of year there are lots of
them who never suspect it. As the
season grows hot they get to drink
ing more and more ice water and at
last they literally 'get the habit.'
They can't get along without the
pleasant shock which is given their
system every time they dump into
their heated stomachs a glass or two
of ice cold water. It means the end
of their digestions; it .upsets their
nerves, and it ruins their tempers,
but they like the effect just as the
ordinary drunkard likes the similar
effects of alcohol and so they must
have it. Water drunkards, that's
what I call them, and there are thou
sands of them right here in Philauel
phia." Philadelphia Press.
At Rest.
Servant of God, well done!
Rest from thy loved employ!
The battle fought, the victory won.
Enter thy Master's joy.
The voice at midnight came.
He started up to hear.
A mortal arrow pierced his frame;
He fell, but felt no fear.
Tranquil amidst alarms.
It found him on the field.
A veteran slumb'ring on his arms
Beneath his red-cross shield.
His sword was in his hand.
Still warm with recent fight:
Readv that moment, at command.
Through rock and steel to smite.
At midnight came the cry,
-To meet thy God prepare!"
He woke, and caught his Captain's eye.
Then, strong in faith and prayer.
His spirit with a bound
Burst its encumbering clay:
His tent, at sunrise, on the ground.
A darkened ruin lay.
The pains of death are past;
Labor and sorrow cease.
And life's long warfare closed at last.
His soul is found in peace.
Soldier of Christ, well done!
Praise be thy new employ;
And while eternal ages run.
Rest in thy Saviour's joy.

Smokers Jubilee.
In May the people of Berlin cele
brated an anniversary which is a fa
vorite one with them. Before May 23,
1S32. no smoking was allowed in the
streets or parks of Berlin and offend
ers were punished by a fine for the
first infraction of the rule and by im
prisonment afterward. The king of
Prussia in those days detested smok
ing and the police and the military
men were under strict orders to ar
rest anyone who dared to smoke in
public It is recorded that when Na
poleon occupied Berlin a hundred
years ago the Berliners eagerly took
advantage of the opportunity to
smoke and took a special delight in
puffing smoke In the faces of the po
lice, who had then no power to arrest
them. In 1832, however, the restric
tion was withdrawn and since then
the people have celebrated the anni
versary with great joy.

When Might Made Right. "
What difference that, somewhere
beyond the hills,' men were fighting
and castles were burning? At Ivars-
dale, in the shelter and cheer of the
lord's great hall, the feast 'of the barrJ
ley beer was at its height.
Where the glow lay rosiest, the
young lord sat in" the r great raised
chair, jesting with his Danish page
who knelt on the s'tep at his side
Now the boy's answering provoked
him to laughter, and he -pat out a
hand and tousled the thick- curls in
his favorite caress.
Like a quieting hand, the first of
the melow chords from the harp, fell
upon the noise of the revel. The
servants bearing away the dishes be
gan to tread the rushes on tiptoe, and
a dozen frowns rebuked any clatter.
Through the hush, the gleeman be
gan to sing the "Romance of King
OfTe," the king who married a wood
nymph for dear love's sake. Lord
and page, man and maid and serf,
strained eye and ear toward the
harper's tattered figure. What mat
ter that outside an autumn wind was
nowling through the forest and strip
ping the leaves through the vines?
Within sound of ihe mellow harp
music it was balmiest springtime, as
the castlefolk followed the gleeman
over the hills and dales of a flowering
dream-world.
For a space after he had finished.
the silence remained unbroken, then
gave way only to an outburst of ap- uvhis hands. And now the messen
plause. rger had recovered his wind and his
Above the confusion rose the voice'
of the brawniest of the henchmea.;f
passing his judgment on the ballad.
"Now that is my own desire of songs,?
he declared. "That was worth uw
sessing the love of that lass. Drink
to the wood maiden, comrades, bare
feet and wild ways and all!" Swing
ing up his horn, he drained off the
toast at a draught. "Give us a mis
tress like that, my lord,," he cried
merrily, "and we will hold Ivarsdale
for her though all of Edmund's men
batter at the doors."
The Lord of Ivardale shook his
head indolently against the cushion.
No wood lass for me, friend Celric,"
he said. "The lady of my love shall

of woman's ways. Deliver me from
your sun-browned, boy-bred wenches!"
The henchman would not be
downed; again his voice rose above
the others. "In soft days, my lord,
in soft days, it might easily be so.
But bear in mind such times as these,
when grief happens to a man oftener
than joy. Methinks your lily-fair lady
would swoon at the sight of your
blood; and tears would be the best
answer you would get, should you
seek to draw comfort out of her."
White as a star at dawn, the page's
face was raised while bis wide eyes
hung on his master's.
The young noble laughed with gay
scorn. "Tears would be in all re
spects a better answer than I should
deserve, should I whimper faint-hearted
words into a maiden's ear. What

Disputing aad agreeing, the clamor
rose anew, and the Etheling turned to
his favorite with a jest. But the
page was no longer in his place. He
had risen to his feet and was stand
ing with his head flung back like one
in pain, both hands up tearing the
tunic away from his throat. Sebert
bent toward him with a question on
his lips.
He forgot the ouery before he could
speak it, however, for at that- mo
ment there was a sound of hurried
steps on the stone stairs, and one of
the armed watchmen from the top of
the Tower burst into the room.
"Lord," he gasped, "some one is
upon us! We thought first it was
naught but the noise of the wind
then Elward saw a light. We swear
Ihey came not over the bridge, yet "
His words were cut short by a
horn-blast from the darkness, loud and
clear above the whistling wind. Jests
and laughter died on the Hps that
bore them, and with oae accord the
men turned in their seats to watch
their master.
His face had sobered as be listened;
before the first echo. had died away

"Danes!" For the first time in the
history of Ivarsdale, the word was
spoken with an accent of relief.

a cry of bitter rejoicing: "If it is

men went to aad fro with hasty steps.
When all was ready the messenger
was brought, ia between, guards.
Wrapped ia dirty sheepskins, he
swaggered to the center sf the room.
Pitching his cloak higher on his
shoulders, he fastened his eyes on a
'hole la the tapestry behind the Ethel

to t recite his lesson: "Kothgar. the

In spite of himself, he was obliged to
stop to take in breath.

his master, his face alight with a sud
den fierce triumph. "Lord," he whis

and quiet. "If we go In peace," he
repeated slowly. "And If we do not?"
The Dane shrugged his burly shoul

r seuert put ais last question: "How
long does the son of Lodbrok give

The man shattered the silence with
his boisterous laughter. "My chief
gives you no time at all. So long a
time, he has studied out, will it take
me to come in to you ; so much longer
to do my errand; and so much longer
to get back. At the end of that time
he will blow his horn, and if your
gates do not fly open in abedience,
he will take that for your answer.".
The Lord of Ivarsdale rose with
sparks flashing from the steel of his
eyes. "By Peter, he is right! I do
not need even that long." he cried.

luting with some appearance of re
spect, he joined his conductors at the
door aad passed out of sight down the
stair.
TJke smoke in the wake of a fire

din of exclamations loosed on the
air and the clangor of weapons caught
down from the wall. Through it, the
Etheling's voice sounded strongly.
"To the palisade, all of you! They
may not wait till morning. To the
forest side; and keep them from it
as you would keep off death!" He
bent and shook the crouching page.

band toward a window, where a bright
light had suddenly shot athwart the
darkness: "Lord, they have set fire

"Mr. Carleton," she said. "I want to

"Why, what on earth do you want
that for?"
"I am very poor. Mr. Carleton." she

Mr. Carletoa stared. "A year! You
shall certainly have it," and the old
woman rethed with the handkerchief,

most isolated parts of tue State.
During a recent visit to New York
Mr. Parrish said:
"I stoDDed overnight at a lonely Ver
mont farm last month. The house
commanded a barren and desolate
landscape. It was -anything but gay.
"I 'remember the brief conversatioa
I had with the farmer as he showed
me to my bed.
" 'A very quiet place,' I said.
" 'It is,' said he.
'"Does a newspaper ever find its
way here?'
" 'Seldom.'
"Then. I said, 'yoa dou't hear
much ot what is going on in New
Yorkv eh?'.
" 'No,' said the farmer, grimly, 'but
then, you see, they don't hear much
in New York of what is going on here,
either.' -
The Lesson of the Brook.
The girl from Dakota was spending
the spring months in a rural city in
New England. She had never been
East beforf) and was breezily enthusi
astic over the delights of the New
England farm and woodland, and espe
cially lavish in expressing her joy in
a little brook that ran through the
farm.
"Do you know," she said, when her
hostess protested against so much en
thusiasm; "do you know, I never saw
a real brook before. I used to read
Tennyson's 'Brook,' and think it rathei
foolish and meaningless. I never saw
a brook rush and gurgle and dash and
sparkle and prattle until I came into
this part of the country. Where I live
the so-called brooks are merely slug
gish, thick, muddy r-treams, with noth
ing picturesque about them. I'm read
ing that poem all through again now,
and I am appreciating It for the first
time."
The Value of a Side Remark.
A. S. L. Shields, Philadelphia's well
known criminal lawyer, once turned
a case in his favor by the happy in
spiration of a side remark. '
George S. Graham, then district at
torney of the Quaker City, was mak
ing his plea to the jury. Suddenly
pointing to the prisoner, he shouted,
"He has been in politics too long to
be honest!"
He paused for a moment to let the
full significance of the words sink
home, when in a quiet but penetrat
ing voice, Mr. Shields, leaning to
ward the speaker, said:
"You've been in politics some little
time yourself, haven't you. George?"
The jury shook with laughter. Mr
Graham sat down discomfited, and a
few minutes later the twelve good
men and true brought in a verdict o!
not guilty. .
Took the Warning.
"Charles," said a sharp-voiced wom
an to her husband in a railway car
riage, "do you know that you and 1
once had a romance in a railway car
riage?"
"Never heard of it," replied Charles
in a subdued tone.
"I thought you hadn't; but don't
you remember it was that pair of slip
pers I presented to you the Christmas
bcforecfwe were married that led to
our union? 'iou remember how nice
ly they fitted, don't you? Well,
Charles, one day when we were going
to a picnic, you had your feet up on a
seat and when you weren't looking 1
took your measure. But for that pair
of slippers I don't believe we'd evei
been married."
A young unmarried man. sitting by,
immediately took down his feet from
a seat. London Tit-Bits.
Raw Eggs a Tonic
A raw ess is an excellent tonic and
is very stiengthening. If prepared
in the following way it is really a
delicious drink. Put the yolk of an
egg into a dish with a teaspoonful of
white sugar and a teaspoonful of
orange or lemon juice, and beat light
ly together with a fork. Put the
whites on a plate and add a pinch of
salt; then, with a broad-bladed knife,
beat it to a stiff froth. Now, as light
ly as possible, mix all together in the
dish, then as lightly transfer it to a
clean tumbler, which it will nearly
fill if properly made. It must not
stand In a warm place, as It soon be
comes liquid and loses its snowy look.
Any fruit juice may be used in place
of orange cr lemon.

printed at the head of the editorial
column each afternoon a Scriptural
text The editor of one of the sensa
tional newspapers instructed a re
porter to interview Mr. Shepard and
outlined the questions the young man
was to ask. All went well until the
interviewer asked:
"Why do you publish Bible extracts

"I do," emphatically responded Mr.
Shepard. "It is news to a great many
people 'especially so, I believe, to
the gentleman who sent you to ques
ttoa me."

He Never Saves the Bands.
- When King Edward smokes a cigar
the bands are religiously torn into
four pieces every time. The reason
is that once, at Marienbad. at came to
the ear of the king that a send from
round one of the royal cigars, which
was stamped with the royal arms, had
been sold by an indiscreet waiter for
5 guineas. The man who bought it
attached the band to a similarly-made
cigar, and went round showing the

" Dear Mas. Piskbam : Last winter I
broke down suddenly and had to seek the
advice of a doctor. 1 felt sore all over, with
a pounding in my head, and a dizziness which
I had never experienced before. I bad a
miserable appetite, nothing tasted good, and
gradually my health broke down completely.
The doctor said I had female weaknes. but.
although I took his medicine faithfully. I
found no relief.
" After two months I decided to try what
a change 7culd do for me, and as Lydia E
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was
strongly recommended tome I decided to
try it. Within three days I felt better, my
appetite returned, and I could sleep. Ia
another week I was able to sit up part of

rounds, and felt better and stronger thaa
