HEALTH AND BEAUTY.
Do not begin a long journey until
some breakfast lias been eaten. After
taking a warm drink do not go im-
mediately out into the cold and do not
ion drink anything hot immediately as
you come in out of the cold.
To soften nails, rub the following
preparation well into them each night
and sleep in gloves: Lanoline, one
ounce; vaseline, half-ounce; olive oil,
ten drops. The hands should always
be washed in warm water and the nails
polished with a leather.
The upper part of the arms of a wo-
man should be large, full and well
rounded. The forearm should not lie
too flat. A dimple at the elbow is
very desirable. Correctness of form is
not the most necessary thing for a
good arm. The owner should also
possess the power of expression and
here is a word of advice—the slowest
movements are always the prettiest.
People are most likely to catch cold
in the back than they are generally
aware of and if neglected may prove
a serious matter. The back, especially
between the shoulders, should always
be kept well covered and never lean
t,lvwith your back against anything that
it with your back in a
_aught ai&s^llen warming it

The woman who wishes to retain he
beauty of her face should forego the
use of the smelling bottle. Stand in
front of a mirror and inhale the pun-
gent odor from a smelling bottle and
notice the number of lines which form
about the eyes, nose and mouth. Each
sniff taken from the bottle causes the
sajme screwing up of the face and each
time the unbecoming lines deepen. Re-
njiember, also, that it is an unpleasant
v-uixperience which has called up these
wrinkles. Those caused by laughing
and talking are bad enough, but wrink-
les formed by the use of smelling
salts gives an absolutely undesirable
expression.

SOME LATE INVENTIONS.
A German has patented a wind motor
to assist in the propulsion of a bicycle,
a frame secured to the head of the
wheel carrying a winged wheel which
is geared direct to the hub of the front
wheel.
Gilding is easily applied to signs and
decorations by a new brush, which has
a reel on the handle on which the
metallic leaf is wound, one end being
inserted under the tip of the brush,
which slides along and deposits the
foil on the surface underneath.
An insulating caster and electric
switch for use on tables and chair3
fitted with electric apparatus has the
wheel made of glass, with a metallic
contact arm pivotally secured to the
frame of the castor to form an elec-
tric connecion with a floor plate.
Umbrellas and parasols can be car-
ried without the necessity of holding
them in the hands by using a new car-
rier, consisting of a rod with clasps
at each end adapted to grip the um-
brella, the rod being fastened to the
belt by cords or a chain, ending in a
book
When it comes to handing bouquets
to each other some of the country peo-
pers certainly carry off the prize. Here
celsior deals out to a contemporary:
;‘The grinning chump who comes heie
t0 solfot for the Clinton County Tons-
er the paper that is thrown into the
°utter as soon as it is taken from t ie
postofiice by intelligent people, was m
town last week and sent back a lo- o
political rot to the swill tub he writes
for, but wrote it because ‘it is report-
ed.’ ” ___
Bon Bon Baking Powder. All first-class
grocers sell it, nearly every woman uses it.
Be sure you get the genuine Bon Bon.
