CHAPTER II.--Cont'd)
Two strong arms lifted the alight, tremb-
ling Perm o..t or the tere.1uug waters up
to hie throbbing breast, tightening their
chap about her before he took the peri-
lous leap back into the water with his,
clingiug burden.
"Little Gay," he whispered hoarsely,
resting his white handsome face cur one
brief second against tee girl's dusky
cheek—•'I have come to save you—because
I love you. Yon are all the world to
me. If you were to die my life would
be wrecked. Yee, I love you, Little Gay."
He clasped the little white arms close
around hie neck, commanding her to cling
to him and not to let go, for he was go-
ing to br6"ir,st the mad waves with her.
"Will yen trust your life to me. Gay?"
he asked tenderly.
"Yes," she sobbed faintly, catching her
breath with a shudder, her clasp tighten-
ing round his neck.
if we perish, we perieh together, my
darling, he said solemnly, straining her
to hie heart.
The next instant he had plunged back
into the roaring waves with his lovely,
terrified burden, striking boldly and
bravely out for the beacon lights that
lined the shore, where a vast throng bad
gathered.
How the people anxiously watched the
two forma that were struggling at the
wild mercy of the waves and the etorm,
which the fitful flashes of lightning re-
vealed to their strained eyea.
"Oh, God! would it be life or death with
them?" was the terrified cry that rose to
every lip. Mothers knelt down in the
pitiless storm and prayed for them. Strong
men cried aloud, weeping as they had,
never wept in all their lives before. Young
girls held their breath in piteous sus-
pense.
They dared not cheer the noble hero, or
utter any cry lest it might unnerve the
brave swimmer and cause him to drop
his burden.
Five minutes—ten—that seemed almoat
an eternity to the breathless watchers—
passed. Now he was near enough to
catch the rope that was flung out to him.
Strong hands pulled with a will, and
amid rousing. cheers, Percy Granville
gained the shore, and laid his lovely,
dripping burden in her joyful ais.er'a
arms.
One instant after poor Gay had struck
the water she had lost all sense of her
deadly peril, falling heavily back in his
arms in a deep alveoli.
The sun was shining brightly in the
small room the two sisters occupied, when
Gay opened her dark, dazed eyes the
next' day. Hazel was standing over her.
with a white, seared face.
"Oh, Gay, my darling, I thought yon
would never oome to," sobbed Hazel, sink-
ing on her knees by the white couch, and
tenderly stroking the brown (surly head.
"Then it wasnot ream after?"

Gay whispered, in a low, hushed voice. "1
really stood en • the window-ledge—with the
cold, dark water rising higher aua itestter
around me, and he came to my rescue—
he saved me?"
"Yes, kir. Granville saved you," reepond
Hazel. "Oh, Gay, how grateful we
X11‘.: -It be to him through We—good, wind
noble Percy Granville, the true friend of
the dependent working -girls."
Gay's face, which she hid quickly in
the white, ruffled pillow, flushed burning
hot.
Should she tell Hazel what he had said
to her when they stood face to faee with
death together, and the cold, dark water
eddying around them?
Should ehe tell Hazel that he had whis-
pered to ber that he loved her—yes, loved
the little working -girl who earned ber
bread in his uncle's mill—the mill that
might one day be his own?
It ie bard to tell the sweet love -secrets
of a girlish heart even to a sympathetic
tender-hearted sinter like Hazel. Gay
wanted se much to tell her, but a tender
bashfulness sealed her rosy lips
Handsome Percy Granville had been the
hero whom the bad always worshiped from
afar since first she saw him, and could
it really be possible that he cared for
her?
* *
The Passaic mills would not be fn a
oondiiton to resume work until the follow-
ing Monday morning. Hazel was thank-
ful to have that much time to devote to
nursing her sister back to Health and
strength.
Gay was possessed of youth and won.
derful viltality, and despite .he shock and
the chill, she was almoat as well as ever
when the sunlight crept into their Tittle
mem that afternoon.
She seemed wonderfully happy. too,
Hazel thought as she watched her while
she busied herself about preparing their
frugal supper.
Hazel was jest about laying the snowy
cloth. when a loud knock Upon the door
startled both.
it was one of the reeds eye bearing e
huge bouquet.
Prom Air. Granville, with hiscompll-
manta, to Miss Gay," he said, banding it
Os Hazel.
She wondered why Gay flushed so, and
why her little hands trembled.
If Gay had made a confidante of her
sister, whispering to ber of the now sweet
dream of love that had crept to suddenly
Into her girlieh heart, if she had but
told her, a terrible tragedy near at hand
would have been averted.
"lfow kind of Mr. GranvilIe to send you
earth a superb bouquet," exclaimed Hazel,
admiringly; "white rosebuds and forget -
me -nets; oh, aren't they fragrant"
At that moment the .sound of carriage
wheels was heard in the street below,
wreathe to a full atop, before their humble
lodgings. A proud, imperious voice was
heard inquiring for tri 'two sisters; there
watt a swieh .of a silken dkirt off the stair-
way, followed by a. tan , en the door.
'Hazel answered "the surseschs, blushing
and eourtesiing in confusion, as she aaw
that their visitor was Misr; ,St. Claire, the
heiress. -,a tall, handsopie blonde—who
•lived In the" greet stone hottee on the hill.
"I hive come to inquire abut your, sia-
ter," the *aid - in a voice that had a
haughty ring in it, "fay I be permitted
to ccrnc In?"
"Certainly,' replied Hanel, in ember-
resetnent; "Goy will be pleased that you
have taken such a kindly interest in
her recovery ---she is teeling' very well this
afternoon,. thank you:
Evelyn St. Clnteo folltrwed Hazel into
.he inner apartment, taking in over'
retards detail of those plainly furnishpd'
toms -girlish fingers had 'so teetotally
decorated. Gay sat In the sunshine by
, the window; she turned and started alight-
ily as her visitor entered, and in that mo-
ment the eyes of these two g,rls--whose
Paths were to cross so cruelly,, and who
were to be such bitter Mee tor love's sake
—met.
The cold, steel -blue eyes of the haughty
heiress gazed intently into the dark, vel-
i very eyes of Little C?ay, and the thought
that 'clashed through her mind as she
clinched her jeweled hands tighter, was:
"Heaven! this girl whom Percy Granville
risked his life to save, is as gloriously
beautiful as a dream."
And ajealous pain, swift and sharp as
death itself she. through her heart.
"1 am glad to find you so nearly recov-
ered, Misa—Miss Esterbrook," she said
coldly, taking the seat that had been
placed for her, and shaking out her violet
silken skirts. "You have had quite a
narrow escape from a terrible fate."
"Yee. kir. Granville saved my life," re-
sponded Gay, her crimson lips quivering,
and I shall be grateful to him as long
as 1 live."
Evelyn St. 'CIaire's' face darkened, then
turned a shade paler.
"You must not express your gratitude
to Mr. Granville in that earnest way,"
she said quickly; "I am sure he would
not like it at all. He Mete that one ought
net to be praised for purely doing one's
duty—I advise you not to annoy him wi;h
such profuse thanks."
Gay crimsoned painfully. Miss St.
Claire noticed her heightened color—then
her cold eyes fell on the superb bouquet
Gay held in her hand.
A. sudden suspicion shot through her
heart.
"fur. Granville sent you those?" she said
interrogatively.
"Yes," faltered Gay, blushing still
rosier, her pretty dark eyes drooping
shyly.
"I requested him to do so." remarked
Miss St. Claire. without a single quiver
in ber voice at the audacious faleehood
she was telling; "you may .;hank me for
-them, Miss—Mise Eaterbrook.
From that moment the white rose -buds,
and golden -hearted forget-me-nots, ;hat
had seemed to infold such sweet messages
in their fragrant petals, lost all charm
in the eyea of Little Gay.
A few moments later Evelyn St. Claire
took her leave. Gay watched the elegant
equipage out of eight.
'She sent me those flowers, Hazel," she
said, calling her. sister from the other
room; "it was quite a mistake believing
they were from Mr. .alar. Granville."
"No doubt; she fa his sweetheart," re-
turned Hazel; "I have often seen them
riding together. Did you notice the big
glistering diamond
g g she were? More than
likely it's an engagement ring. She is
an heiress, and lives in the big atone
house on the hill. Oh, Gay, my darling,
how I would like to see you dressed like
that—you would look like a little queen,"
she went on enthusiastically.
Then she remembered that it was not
right to pub longing notions fo; silks,
laces and jewels in the romantic Head of
Little Gay, for such luxuries were not for
struggling factory girls, were they ever
so lovely.
The fair sunlit beauty of the day was
lost upon Evelyn St. Clair as she bowled
swiftly bomeward in her natty. plush -
lined basket phaeton. She could see no-
thing—think of nothing but the dark,
dimpled, gypsyish face of lovely Little
Gay.
"I—I--hate her!" the cried. "Something
tells me that girl will come between me
and my love," she muttered hoarsely. "If
she does, let her beware, for as sure as
fate I—I—would kill her!"
The next moment she laughed a wild,
mirthless laugh that startled the birds in
the green .leafy trees above her ,Bead.
"Why should I, an heiress, fear a mis-
erable little Ractory girl because she has
a pretty face?" she cried aloud. "What
madness to imagine even she could ever
be a rival of mine! She would not dare
aspire to the love of Percy Granville, even
though be did save her life. I—I hate
her! I almost wish she had died in the
dark waters that night."
CHAPTER M.
.A. week later, life had fallen into the
name old rut again in the Presale Cotton
Mills. Havel and Gay were once more at
their looms in the weerviug-room.
Everything was progressing just as it
was before the thrilling episode narrat
ed In our previous chapter had transpir-
ed.
There was, however, a great change in
Gay Esterbrook. The beautiful little
madcap 'of the mill was not so hoiden-
ish, so saucy, or so mirthful; and, as the
hours of each day rolled on, her eyes,
with a e.range light in their dark depths,
would turn toward the counting -room
door.
More than once handsome Percy Gran-
ville had walked home with Gay from the
mill, and soon the forked tongue of scan-
dal -mongers began to whisper lightly the
name of Little Gay.
"Of couree"—they said with a knowing
nod—"the girl ought ;,o know better than
to encourage bis attentions"—he was so
far above her socially. he had no thought
of marriage; when it came to choosing a
Wife, ' be would certainly never think of
mating with a factory girl though she
were beautiful as an hone.
One afternoon Mies St. Claire had met
Hazel going home alone from the mill,
and to her she repeated the story the
herself had been the means of circulating
—the story which she said the people were
telling of Little Gay.
Poor Hazel was horrified—indignant —
bowed down with the bit,ereet shame.
"It is, unfortunate, a very natural thing
of a free -and -easy young man like ]kir.
Granville to admire a pretty face," Masi,
St. Claire went on glibly, "but for your
sister's' sake and your own, 1 advise you
to remove her as quiekly as you Can from
his influence, Ieet her life be wrecked
and her heart broken."
"I have no place to take her," replied
Hazel, weeping. "We could not make as
monuchey.'anywhere as we make at piece.wnrk
in the Passaic Mills; besides, I have no
m
if I"should furnish you with the money
required, would you take her so far away
that Mr. Granville would never hear of
her more?" Miss •St, Claire asked quickly
"Remember your eister'e future la at.

1 should evert a solemn promise from
you that there should be no eurreslion-
dence between them; they mast be sever:

kit. J. l'3ERPONP MORGAN,
The Great American 1?inaueier.
"Yes," murmured Hazel, faintly.
"I would advise you to plaee her in a
convent,' continued Miss St. Claire; "even
were he inclined to attempt to trace her
he would never think of looking for her
there; the young ladies placed in those
institutions are strictly prohibited from
wri.iug to or receiving letters from any
gentleman.
"Remember, you must take her away
from here suddenly, and without warning,
so suddenly that she will not have time
to acquaint Mr. Granville of her intended
departure or her destination. Do you
quite understand?" she asked again. •
"Yes," sobbed Hazel, covering her farce'
with her hands.
I am Percy Granville's betrothed
bride," she went on, "and for that reason
I should 'be sorry to see harm befall your
pretty sister through him."
The terrible falsehood did not barn her
lips as she uttered it. What were a few
spoken words to the desperate. haughty
heiress when love and happiness were
weighed in the balance?
If this girl Hazel repeatedthem it would
be easy enough to deny it; who would
credit the assertions of a, working -girl
against her word?
"Come to my house tomorrow evening
and I will give you what money you will
require for the journey," said Mies et.
Claire.
Poor Hazel was profuse in her tearful
thanks, and Gay's cruel enemy. who had
so deliberately set about wrecking two
lives and thrusting two hearts asunder,
was glad to break away from Hazel's
thanks, she was blushing so guiltily.
Hazel walked on to her humble lodg-
ings like one dazed.
People spoke harsh things of Little Gay,
who was as tender as a white dove, and
as guileless as one of the white angels
in heaven.
Oh, how dared they do it!
Yet Li tle Gay must never again come
home with Mies St. Claire's betrothed
lover.
Yes, she would go to -morrow night and
accept the money to take Gay away. She
must do it for Gay's sake!
Her sister should not know her inten-
tions until they were' safe on some out-
going train, speeding far away from the
Passaic Cotton Mill, and from handsome
Percy Granville forever.
She gained her lodgings, and had scarce.
ly laid aside her wraps before Gav burst
into the room, her face all aglow with
excitement, her pretty dimpled cheeks
flushed, her red lips smiling and her splen-
did dusky eyes shining like stars.
"Oh, Hazel!" she exclaimed breathless•
Iv. "there's going to be a ball at the
Highland House to -night, and I'm invit-
ed. Don't object, Hazel, dear. I have set
my heart on going—yes, I must go; I have
never been to a ball in all' my life, you
know, and I ,am nearly seventeen years
old."
Hazel gazed carefully into the beautiful,
flushed, dimpled face.
"who invited you?" she asked uneasily.
"Per -Mr. Granville," replied Gay. blush.
ing furiously as the corrected herself;
"he's on the committee. He's to call for
me at half -past eight."
"You cannot go," said Hazel, slowly,
stroking the brown, curly head.
Gay started back in bewildered dis-
may; she could never remember a time
in all her young life that her sedate sis-
ter, who 'was more like a mother to her,
had deliberately refused her anything.
"But I have set my heart on it, Hazel,"
she cried. "I want to go to a real ball,
see lights and music, and enjoy myself
just for once in my life, as other girls of
my age do. Oh! it would be like a
glimpse of heaven to poor little me."
The next moment two soft, white arms
stole caressingly and coaxingly around
Hazel's neck, a soft glowing cheek was
laid against hors, and two irresistible.
dark, velvety eyes were looking appeal-
iugly into her own.
No,"" said Hazel, determinedly, harden-
ing herself to the task; "you would be
out of place, my darling, among those
fine ladies, who are all so wealthy and
so haughty in their satins and jewels."
Gay. threw her head back with a merry
rippling laugh, her roguish eyes dancing.
I knew you would say that, Hazel, so
look here: I was telling one of the girls
that I could not go, for I had nothing fit
to wear; my old white mall dress was too
badly patched and darned, and—wasn't
she very, very good, Hazel?—she was
kind enough to loan me one she wore last
summer. I brought it home with me, and
it's'a perfect beauty. I tried it on, and
it leeks just lovely on me, and fits mo
perfectly by -taking it in a little at the
neck, and gathering it a li:.tle tighter et
the belt"
And in a glow of triumph she flew to
the other end of the room, and in an
other moment was standing before Karel,
laughingly shaking out the glowing folds
of a rose -pink tarlatan dress, with stream-
ing pink satin ribbons.
"Now you won't may 'nn; you dear old
Hazel?" she cried, Iaying her curly head
coaxingly on Hazel's knee.
But for once in her life Hazel was firm
--Little Gay's pleadings were nil in vain.
"Write to Mr. GranvilIe a short, polite
note, and send it to him at oneo, telling
him' you cannot go, or 1, shall be obliged
to call upon him with that verbal* mes-
sage," elle said.
At last the little tear -blotted note. was
written, and Karol herself went to deliver
it, leaving poor wretched Gay drowned in
tears and sobbing as though her heart
was breaking.
How cruel it was to be kept Pram the
grand ball—and a ball was a great event
in the life of Gay Esterbrook.

next feeding. The same is true in "" sees
feeding hay and grain, writes Mr.
W. J. Fraser,
Another great.advantage is the
large, unobstructed haymow. With
the self-supporting roof there are
no timbers whatever obstructing the
mow, which means no dragging of
hay around or over, posts or gird-
ers. The hay carrier rune on a sir-
eular track around the mow, mid-
way between the silo and the out-
side wall and drops the hay at any
desired point, which means the sav-
ing of much labor.
1 r construction isthe
The c reals
strongest, because it takes advant-
age of the lineal instead of the
breaking strength of the lumber.
Each row of boards running around
the barn forms a hoop that holds
the barn together. Any piece of
timber is 'many times stronger on
a lineal pull than on a breaking
stress.
All exposed surfaces of a round
barn are circular, as both the sides
and roof are arched, which is the
strongest form of construction to
resist wind pressure. Besides, the
wind in striking it glances off, and
can get ne direct hold on the walls
or roof as it' can on the flat side or
gable ends of a square or rectangu-
lar structure.
If the lumber is properly placed
in a round barn ranch of it will per-
form two er more functions. Every
row of siding boards running
around the building serves also as
a brace and the same is true of the
roof boards and the arched rafters.
If ,the siding is put on vertically
and. the roof built dome shape, no
scaffolding is required inside or
out. These. are points of economy -1
in the round construetion.
Another item of economy in the
circular barn is less framing lum- ,
ber. This form has the strongest
possible construction with the least
lumber in the frame and the least
bracing, not a single timber larger
than a two by six being required.
above the sill. The arched circular
roof requires no support and no
scaffolding is needed inside during!
-1,its construction. In comparing the
60 -.foot round barn with a rectangu-
lar barn of the same area, the two
barns should afford the cows the
same amountof space on the plat-
form. Allowing each cow in the 60 -
foot round barn three feet six inch-
es in width at the rear of the plat-
form, it will accommodate 40 cows
and leave space for two passage-
ways. But, in a rectangular barn
only three feet four inches plat-
form space need be allowed for
t'-
each cow and the 78 ., foot barn,
with two three-foot passageways
across it for convenience in feed-
ing, will accommodate 42 cows.
While the rectangular barn has
stall room for two or more cows,
the round barn contains space in
the centre for a silo . eighteen foot
in diameter.
The complete bills for materials
for these barns show the exact sav-
ing in lumber on the 60 -foot round
barn over the plank and Mortise
frame rectangular barns, 86x78%
feet.
Thelumber bills of the rectangu-
lar barn show an increase in cost of
28 per cent. for the plank frame
and 54 per cent. for the mortise
frame. The round barn 60 feet in
diameter, contains 1181, and the
rectangular barn 225 lineal feet of
wall.
The 90 -foot round barn would
hold 100 cows in two rows, headed
together, 65 of which would be in
the outer circle and have three feet
six inches each in -Width at the gut-
ter. This leaves sufficient room for
feed alleys and walks and two pas-
eageways, one three feet and the
other seven feet wide for the ma-
nure and feed carrier. An of this
is outside of the central space for
a silon w in diameter
t etyfeetnds
'71 feet high, with a capacity of 620
tons of silage and in the mow there
would still be an excess above the
capacity of the rectangular barn of
33,000 cubic feet, which would hold
66 tons of hay or as much as the
entire mow of a. barn 32x36 feet
with twenty -foot posts."
In the final summing up of the
cost of all the material for the com-
pleted dairy barns with silod show
the saving of from 34 to 58 per cent.
in favor of the round barn and silo,
or an actual money saving of from
$379 to $1,184, denending upon the
size and construction of the barn.
Thoughtless men go on building
rectangular barns, but what would
this reckless disregard of a pos.
Bible saving of 34 to 58 per ' cent.
mean in a year's business on the
farm? If the dairymen discarded
the idea of a rectangular barn and
built a round barn instead, with
the money thus saved he could

BRAZIL'S TURN IS COMING.
on
Larger By 50,000 Square biles
Than the United States.
While we have heard a good deal
lately about the growth of the Ar-
gentine Republic, says the Spring-
field Republican, leas has been said
of the rapid progress made by Brae
zil, a country of enormous possi-
bilities. In estimating its future it
is well to remember that it is
larger by some 50,000 square miles
than the United States, excluding
Alaska and our island possessions,
while in natural resources it is
probably not inferior. Its develop-
ment, of course, has been much
slower, but its turn is now coming.
A recent British consular report
calls attention to the fact that San
Paulo, which ten years ago had but
100,000 people, has now a popula-
tion of 380,000 and expects in fif-
teen..years to reach the million
mark.
Twenty year's ago it had no in-
dustries, to -day there are 300 con-
siderable factories' representing a
capital of $50,000,000 and having an
-annual output of $60,000,000.
This is a hopeful •symptom, and it
must be considered' that in its in-
terior regions which have hardly
been explored Brazil possesses an
enormous wealth of valuable raw
material, vegetable and mineral.
The success of the United States in
reclaiming the Panama : zone has
been taken by many teak._ a new
era for the tropics; certainly as the
world's demand for tropical Pkt-
ducts increases Brazil will increase
steadily in prosperity and popula-
tion.

His Majesty has throe valet's—a
chief and two assistant valets. The
chief valet has been with his Majes-
ty for the past twelve yi:ars. His
deities are to superintend the caro
of the, Royal wardrobes, to attend
on the King in the Royal dressing
room, and to take all instructions
concerning the King's clothes rvhich.
may be given hien either directly by
his . Majesty or by one of the private
secretaries, says London' Answers.
His Majesty's clothes are kept in,
a large room adjoining the dressing'
room,. The walls of the room are
lined with wardrobes, which are ..di-
vided into two sections—one 'sec-
tion contains the King's uniforms,
and the other his Majeetyis ordi-
nary morning, walking,, ail I't vensng

Overnight, the chief valet j is in-
structed regarding the ttnifor'ms, if
any, and the suits of oloth•os. 7hich
the King will require for wear the
following day,'' and' these are"pi, ted °;
by theassistant valets in the Ro ;a1 '
dressing -room, Before a suit oar
uniform is sent into the Roya ,
dreasing-room it is inspected by the
chief valet9to` see that it is peeper
ly brushed, ironed, and ready fore
wear;
No Assistance Required.
Every morning the suits which the
King has worn the day previously
are brushed and ironed by the assipr
tent valets. '
The King,it may be noted, never,
wears the same suit two days run-
ning. As a rule his Majesty would
not wear the same suit oftener than
once in the week, and when it has
been worn about two dozen times it
would be put out of the Royal ward,;
robes.
The present King keeps earlier
hours than did his late Majesty..
King George customarily rises at
seven o'clock, when he takes a cup
of light coffee, which the chief valet
brings him directly the King enters
his dressing -room. His _ 'Majesty
then has his bath, .which is always a
cold one,' whilst the Ring'"is iii. his
bath -room, the chief valet puts, the
links and studs into his Majesty's
shirt, puts out an assortment of .ties
on the dressing -table, • and plat .
the boots or shoes the King iii en
to wear on a mahogany boot-etand,
and then retires.
The King dresses himself without
the aid of'a valet, 'except' whph put-
ting on a uniform, when thio chief
valet is generally in attendance.
When the King traveler', the chief
valet superintends. the acking of
his Majesty's ]uggag which is
done by the assistant valeta. A list;;
of everything that is to be packed is
made out bythe chi valet, .
�et,' and on
the arrival of then
e at the
King's destination the list is check-
ed over by the chief let whilst the
portmanteaus ;are ing unpacked.
"Trying -On" ul&; Easy.
The King's• chief v let is a well-
educated and very well -ham -Med
man. He is a .fir -rate Iinguist,
speaking French, Ge man and .Ital-
ian, in addition to his native
tongue, perfectly. He has travelI•ed
all over the world with the King,
and is known and held in high es-
teem by all the great European
monarchs, from whore ie •,
ceived during their, visits to Eng-'
land many tokens of their esteem.
King George rarely . or never tries
en a suit of clothes, and seldom is
' seen by the tailors who have the
honor of his Majesty's custom.
When the King desires to order
any new clothes he informs the chief
valet of the fact, who gets patterns
for the King's inspe tion, when
his Majesty has selected the pat-
terns, the chief vales gives the or-
der to the tailor, and the clothes,
when ready for trying on, .are fitted
on dummy figure of the Ring. The
chief of valet inspects the suit when it
is fitted on the model, and gives the
'tailor allthe necessary 'directions
concerning it. A suit is generally
! fitted on the model three times.

'Scent for Sleep. " ,y';
Scent has other attractions than a
mere appeal to the nice. •Anybody,
for instance, who suffers from in -
Bonnie may find relief .in perfumes.
Collect a number .of fresh pine,
needles, and fill a bas; with them.'
carefully rip'open your pillow and
place the bag amidst the feathers in,
the pillow. The perfume of the
pines 's 'ofteti an excellent soporific.
A bag of dried hops used in the
same way is just as good. Dried
rose -lea des, mixed with dried
clover -Roads, .give out n, delicious
perfume, and helps a weary one to
wc>O tilt god of sleep. A teaspoon-
ful of eau-de-Ooloazne in a warm
bath is most refreshing, while scent
placed on the forehead of anyone
who suffers from headite re general-
ly gives.relief. •
