"Why is it?" asked the young wife,
'thai a man will never take his wife's
tdvice?"
"fie will," replied the more experi-

"Mine won't," replied the other. "I

pensive one, in which, with the serv-
tnts we are able to keep, we could be
more comfortable, and he just looked

laid he guessed he knew what we
;ouId afford to do and what we
wouldn't. But I know he is running

George, can you spare me a moment?'
Vhat would he have done?"
"Why, he'd have laid aside his paper

"Exactly. Now suppose you had

o true that you wanted to ask his ad-
ice about something What would he

I think he would have kissed mo and
sked me what worried me. He is al-
ways considerate when I am troubled."
* "Quite right. Next suppose you had
isked his advice about letting one of
he servants go. What then?"
"W-e-1-1. I think he'd have asked if
could run the house with only one
lervant."
"Then suppose you had said: 'Well,
the house Is pretty large, and it would
be pretty hard; but if you advise it I'll
try. When I picked out the house. I
did not think—"
"But I didn't pick out the house."
"Of course not; but suppose you had
made the error of judgment yours nev-
ertheless. and said that you hadn't real-
ized how hard it would be to run it in
proper style. Would he have suggested
a smaller house?"
"He might have. Yes, I think he
would. He grumbled once about get-
ting lost in it. He'd probably have
asked if I could manage with one serv-
ant in a smaller house."
"And then suppose you had clapped
your hands and exclaimed: 'Just the
thing! How clever o' you to think of it
Why, wo can afford to keep both serv-
ants in a smaller house, too, and we
can be as comfortable as with six hen*.
Then suppose you had kissed him and
said that lie always did know just what
to do. What would have happened
next?"
"Why, we'd be looking for anothei
house now."
"On his advice or yours."
"His, I suppose."
"Really?"
"Well, I don't know. He'd think so,
anyway."
"Precisely, my dear, precisely. Your

KEROSENE FOR THE HAIR.

tlrcly SutlHfiM'torj-,
A woman recently asserted that th.
fine appearance of her hair was entire!)
due to a persistent and thorough treat
merit with the familiar kerosene of tin
corner grocery commerce. It was ap
plied regularly once a fortnight in Hit
following way: A little was poured intc
a saucer and rubbed with the fingers
into the roots of the hair. The appli
cation was slow and thorough, the gen
tie massage of the roots with the fingei
tips being needed to open the pores foi
the absorption of the oil. The treat
ment was usually made at night, am
the hair afterward tied up in a silk hand-
kerchief.
The silk handkerchief is recom
mended by hair dressers as useful it
retaining the natural electricity of th>
hair. By noon of the following day tin
odor of the kerosene had disappeared
and in another 12 hours the oilinees tha
followed its use had also gone. Tin
effect of this treatment on the hair wai
promptly noticeable, the falling ou
stopped, and some new short hairs wen
found all over the head. As the kero
sene application was continued the hai!
became thick and smooth. When, aftei
several mouths, it was finally discon
tinued, abundant glossy' locks replacet
the dry and lusfcrless hair — the forme:
condition existing, though no kerosem
had been used for several years.—N. Y

What is and what is not worth pre-
serving as a memorial of Shakespearj
must always be an interesting question,
not only to Englishmen, but to Amer-
icans. The Shakespeare's Birthplace
trust has been formed to search out the
truth in connection with each relic, and
see that as far as possible only the plain
truth is told about the articles preserved
in Strat ford-on-A von.
Even Shakespeare's house is in largt
part a restoration, a fact duly stated or
the souvenir ticket given to each vlsitoi
who pays for admission. Fortunately,
the birthplace needed less restoration
than the adjoining and communicating
house, which was John Shakespeare'!
business place, and is now the museum;
yet even the birthplace has had such pos-
sibilities of gradual alteration that tin

The relics In the house vary consider
ably in interest. Not one piece of iti
furniture is known to have been there ir
Shakespeare's time; though some plecei
have been bought by the trustees, be
cause they were in the house early in thi
last century, and were then shown as be
Ing old furniture of the house. The desl
from the Grammar school is franklj
stated to be Shakespeare's, "by old tradi
tlon," and other objects have their clainu
to notice.
The portraits of Shakespeare include
many with incomplete pedigrees, ant
some of undoubtedly later date thai
Shakespeare's death. Yet while on<

portrait, another is frankly attached tt
the "Flower" painting at the Memoria
theater. Only the Droeshout engravin?
in the first folio, and the bust in Trinitj
church have unassailable histories.

Anne Hathaway's cottage, has "cothinf

BRAZILIAN TOWN WIPED OUT.
Uiaiunntiiio, Thi*( (luce I'nrnlwhed
ilif World 111 n 10o 11 <1 ,
It iliucd Two i ; I'm \ftto.
Many of tin inn^r arts d South
America are less known to-day than
any portion of Africa. These regions
of widespread forests and swamps, in-
habited by wild Indians, are almost
unknown to the outside world; even
in southern Brazil large districts of
the big state of Matto-Grosso may well
be said to be on the edge of the most
remote corners of civilization, states
the New York Sun.
Capt. Ludwig Jerrmann has just
been telling in Petermann's Mlt-
teilungen of the destruction of Dia-
mantino in that state during the in-
surrection of November, 1901. The
world has scarcely heard of Diaman-
lino for many years, though it v.as
once a nourishing little pi ice inhab-
ited by Hrazilians who were rich in
slaves and In the diamonds they
washed from the stream.
The district once had a population
of about 4,000, mostly negroes and hnlf-
breeds. The people who still live there
speak a very corrupt dialect of Portu-
guese, but the town was in decline
before its final destruction. Slavery
and diamond washing were at an end
and the well-to-do had departed. The
town had a school house, but not a
soul in that region was competent to
teach school. It had a church, but
for years no priest had been seen in
the town.
No good roads connected it with
fcther settlements and its population
had dwindled to about 900 souls. Only
the plastered houses along the three
streets and the substantial stone resi-
dences of the former diamond washers
remained to testify to the old-time
orosperity of a place that was once the
center from which the world derived
most of its diamonds.
The Insurrection of 1901, when a
large dissatisfied element in Matto-
Grosso arose against the central gov-
ernment at Kio de Janeiro, completed
the ruin of Diamantino. The govern
ment hurried a large number of troop:
into the state, and In a few weeks they
laid the disaffected districts in ruins,
The frantic inhabitants of the little
town heard on November 1 that the sol-
diers were coming, and at once began te
abandon their homes. They heard that
the soldiers were not sparing even wom-
en or children; and so, with bundles ol
household effects under their arms, they
Hurried in wild flight Into the dense for-
ests to hide fr«.m the advancing enemies
On the evening of November 5, Capt
Jerrmann. a sick, old man. and a black
washerwoman were the only human be-
ings left in the town.
The next morning the infantry and
cavalry of Brazil, a wild, ruffian crowd
barefooted, dressed in ragged trousers
without coats or hats, poured into the-
place. They swarmed through the aban-
doned houses, plundering right and left
and after removing their booty to the
neighboring fields, began the work ol
levelling the town.
They knocked down the buildings witl
axes and timbers, an arduous task tha'
occupied a day. Then they set fire te
the ruins in a dozen pla< es and took theh
departure.
It was ten days later before the flames
<?l:d out. There was nothing left bu
ashes and blackened stones and ruim
to mark the place where rjjamantinc
had stood.
Last year only a few of the inhabitants
ft ad returned to begin the difficult wort
of rebuilding the ir town. Some of then
had bee n murdered by the soldiers, manj
had fled further south to begin life again
among settlements that had escaped
destruction and others hud gone tc
Paraguay and Bolivia.
Capt. Jerrmann believes it will be
many years before this region will re-
cover from the utter ruin which has
overwhelmed it. In time, however, he
thinks that various industries will be es-
tablished, for there are good prospect!
for gold and diamond washing, rubbei
trees flourish in the neighboring for-
c.-ts, and the agricultural lands are very
fertile.
It is a curious fact that nearlj
two years elapsed before any detailed
informal ion reached the outer world
of the utter destruction of the little
town that had once been famous, it
shows how utterly isolated is this part
of Brazil from the foreign interests that
are impelling all the northern white
races to send thousands of representa-
tives to the newer parts of the world.
IIimv an Actor Trnln*.
One of the English actors who vlsitei
the United States first two years ago be-
came so popular as a matinee hero, it
spite of his obesity, that it seemed a:
if the day of the fat actor might havear
rived at last. But the star evident])
lost confidence In his ability to hold hii
audience if he grew any stouter. Hi
returned last month thinner by 30 pound
than he had been. To retain thesi
slighter proportions no jockey ever wen
through more strenuous training that
he. He takes a Turkish bath daily, ant
when there are matinees may be fount
in the hot room as early as ten o'clocl
in the morning. He lingers there as loni
as health will permit, and has his re
ward in looking many pounds slighter
and some years younger, when hestepi
on the stage. Hut the treatment Is he
role, and the actor expresses his owi
doubts as to the length of time he wll
be able to keep up ituch a sacrifice for th
sUke of his looks.
