How to Make Convenient and Attrac-
tive Washstanrfi
In this day of hygienic care when
many housewives refuse .to harbor
stationary or closed washstands it
often becomes necessary to provide
something to take their place. Beady
made stands are to be bought by
the score but a most satisfactory
one can be utilized at home by two
boards and four iron brackets. The
boards should be of " smooth pine
wood nd cut .the necessary size to
make generous shelves. The upper
one should have in the center a cir-
cular opening large enough to 'con-
tain the washbowl. Both Bhelves
should be painted with white enam
el two eood coats and when thor
oughly dry screwed to the brackets
which are screwed to the wall.
These shelves are placed at a com
fortabie distance apart tne upper
UNLUCKr "COPPERS.
At St. Asaph's theTace trade
side of Alexandria it used to be the
custom to give return tickets for 17
cents. Most of the patrons would
hand over a quarter and get in
change a nickel and 3 cents. This
copper money according to the av-
erage creed of the gambler was un-
lucky so that the Potomac between
Washington and Alexandria was fill-
ed with the copper thrown over-
board by fhe men who were going to
bet on the races. There is an old
time race course man who swears
that the stretch of water between
the two cities is so overloaded with
copper currency that it is well worth
while dredging. He says;
"There is more copper money in
the bottom of that river than all the
mines in Colorado will produce in a
year. If the government would only
take a tumble and look things over

'Artists often sigh for the secret
of the rich lasting colors used by
the ancients. A French chemist
has been analyzing the famous Alex-

that the pigment was composed of
aand and carbonate of chalk subject

mixed with copper. He has exactly

The Germans are resenting pun-

was nevertheless suspended and put
