Fitted to Her Position.
Mr. Gladstone once wrote to Mrs. is-
quith, who at the time had just become
betrothed to Mr. Asquith: “You have
a great and noble work to perform. It
is a work far beyond human strength.
May the strength that is more than
human be vouchsafed you." He real,
ized what it meant to lie the wife of
a rising young politician in England,
where the influence of the wife counts
for so much in the career of her ns-
hand. Mrs. Asquith has the rapita-
tion of being quite politic and of at
least never making any enemies for
her husband
and splendid looks.
She must not only have a lovely face
and a graceful carriage and musical
voice; she must have personality,
charm, presence, poise; she must have
cultivation, discrimination and tact. If
she is to hold her own in the world.
A Saving of Rubbers.
Women who have trouble with their
rubbers breaking at the heel after
wearing thorn a short time may like to
know how I make use of mine when
they reach this state. I cut out the
heels as far as the up slope of the
arch, making sandals of them. These
are sufficient protection except in the
case of slush or heay rain. !.

The Story of a Berlin Shrew and Nor
Likeness to Stone.
This quaint equivalent of the Ger-
man term neidkopt to applied by trav-
elers to an effigy carved to stone and
fixed to a niche to the second story
of a house in the Heiligengeiststraase
in Berlin not far from the emperor's
palace. The neidkopt represents a
hideous, harpy faced woman with
snakelike curls and tongue protruding
to mocking derision.
„One day some 200 years ago, the
legend runs. Frederick William of
Prussia, more familiarly known as
Old Fritz, waa walking about the
afreets of the city lu the unconvention-
al way he effected when he chanced
to look through a window and observed
a hunchbacked goldsmith hard at
work The king entered the little shop
for a chat.
The result of his interview was an
order for a gold table service for the
royal household, an order that made
the fortune of the hunchback Later
his majesty made other visits to the
shop to see how the work was advane-

Frederick William, paternal to pun-
ishment as well as to reward, at once
investigated aa to the ownership of
the house to which the ahrew lived.
Ho found that it belonged to her hus
hand and therefore reasoned that there
was little likelihood of the family
moving, an idea that seemed greatly to
please bin majesty. His next move
was to consult a sculptor, whom he
commanded to make the bust of a
woman with the most shrewish, Kan-
tippe-like face he could imagine. The
king then bought and renovated the
house to which the hunchback bad hie
workshop, presented it to bin and
canned the boot to be placed conspleu-
ously above the workroom window.
Thus whenever the envious woman
across the street looked forth from her
casement the first object on which her
eyes fell was this Intended portrait of
her amiable self.
For more than a hundred years the
neidkopt spiteful vixen head, aa one
would say to English stood in proud

Is Irish Golf Champion.
Miss Muy Hezlet last week won the
golf championship of Ireland, this be-
ing the fifth time that the champion
' ship cup has fallen to her. She Is now
I ahead of Mrs. Cuthell, who as Rosa
Adair won the championship four
times Only one other Irishwoman has
ever been able to snatch the champion-
ship from these two ladles, having won
it for one year. There are no less than
five Hezlets who are among the best
Irish players, and in the finals Miss
| May Hezlet was opposed by her sister.
Superintends State Schools.
Miss Helle Chamberlain is one of the
two women in the United States who
hold the position of superintendent of
public instruction. She served ss as-
sistant State superintendent for four
years before being chosen to her pres-
ent position. She is worktag to con
soildate the schools of Idaho into one
system, and it said that she has lost
none of her womanly charm, although
great responsibility reets upon her.
Veung Fashionables are Superficial.
Wealth and fashion are developing
young women of a wholly superficial
nature.
The American beauty of today must
iseem rather tall; she must hold her
head high; she must have a slight su
percilious lift In her eyebrows: her
mouth must have the least suspicion
of boredom at the corners
Her voice must drawl a bit, especial,
ly at the end of sentences Above all.
she must have the air of a princess,
compounded of repose, sublimated
scorn and detachment. Gone la the old
deference to the aged and sad, to the
learned, the patriots, soldiers and re-
formers. Today the American beauty
selfishly reigns on the throne of youth
To Improve Canned Goods.
Some relatives who are large packers
tell me that vegetables and fruit which
have been hermetically sealed should
be opened a couple of hours before us-
ing, in order that the oxygen may re-
turn. This plan will take away the pe-
cullar flavor that nearly all canned
things have.
Substitute for Curtain Rode.
At a hardware store get a copper
covered wire about as thick as your
little finger, and have them cut it the
width of your windows. Also buy two
screw eyes. Put a screw eye in each
side of the sash opening, one of them
so that the wire will slip to. Run the
wire through .the curtain casings and
put the ends to the eyes. Your curtain
will hang aa nicely as though the fix-
turns had root three times fifteen cents,
the actual cost of your “rods."
False Hair.
Falas hair was first regularly worn
to England by Queen Elizabeth, who
bad upward of fifty wigs of different
kinds for bar private use. After her
death a tow women adopted the
French fashion of wearing wigs, but it
waa not until the restoration that
wigs, or. more correctly speaking. peri-
wigs, came to be extensively worn by
the sterner sex. These, were intro-
duced in the court of Louls—XIV.
where a natural heed of hair waa not
considered sufficiently luxuriant for
the artificial tastes of the times. The
term “periwig" is a corruption of the
French perruque. Wigs were original*
ly adopted not as a remedy for'bold-
ness, but in tbs interest of personal
cleanliness. The laws of ancient Egypt
compelled all males to shave the bond
and board. This explains why turbans
were Mt worn by the Egyptians, the
bushy artificial hair bate* regarded as
a sufficient protection against the heat
of the sun. The Romans, on the con-
trary, wore wigs because they were
naturally ball-Ri. Louis Republic.
Hints to Farmers
Now is the time that you realize on
your season’s work.
As you sell your grain, stock or pro-
duce, place your money on open ac-
count with a reliable bank.
Pay your bitts by check, which •
makes the best kind of a receipt, and
avoid the worry and danger attending
the carrying of large sums of money.
Our offices are always at the dis-
posal of our customers and country
friends.
