arious causes combine to make the
hands very coarse and rough. Curl
ously enough, less attention is given to
the hands than to the face, although
they really require more care, on ac-
count Of the hard work they are called
upon to do. And yet white and deli
cate hand is very charming and worthy
of quite as much attention as the face,
if not more. Even a cook may have
less coarse hands, if she will, by always
using glycerine or honey after washing
her hands. and by never using coarse
yellow soap, but little bran or oat-
meal, which will clean the hands quite
as well as soap and keep them soft at
the same time, whatever may be the
amount of work she may have to do
and to whatever exposure to heat and
cold the hands may be subjected. These
same precautions may be adopted by
women who occupy themselves with
any rough work in the house, and,
moreover, they should always wear
gloves, which will more than anything,
keep the hands soft and clean and thus
dispense with the necessity of too fire.

keeper held them in custody until he
could telegraph to Somerville to learn
their antecedents and relationship.

Women who swim

Inc scene was vivid and not without
prettiness. A fringe of girls in very
cllnging short clothes, their arms and
legs shining white and their faces viante
with iollity, hung about the lower end
OF the tank where the water was shall
lowest, sticking their feetinto the water,
and with little preparatory shrugs max
ing ready for the scream that was sure
to announce every drop made by a
swimmer from the edge of the plat
farm.
why do those girls all gather at
that end and hang back SO long before
they take plunge?" was query put
to the popular teacher by reporter of
the st. Lonis Republican,
well, that's their way. Women al
ways stand and toy with their toes in
the water to feel its temperature down
at the shallow end: they are so different
from the men. Why, the men walk
straight up here where they can get the
full depth of the tank ana make the
plunge. That's their way of testing
the temperature.
A CLEAN OF white round arms, raised
high, and a dash OF bright red raiment,
dropping through the air from the gal
lery and sinking through the waters,
which closed in little circling white and
green eddies, followed the words like a
flash. The jump had been taken by
Miss Clara Cecil, who is as graceful as a
trout in water and as pretty as maid
of old Greece. The bright color in her
cheeks and lips, her brilliant black eyes
and dark hair, and, above all, her
rounded figure, set off by her bright red
dress. relieved only by trimming of
white braid. make of her a perfect
picture as she swims about the pool or
leans over the railing, her red Neapoli-
tan cap pushed back from her moist
locks.
Other girls were there who disported
themselves with grace as swimmers. 1t
is noticeable that the most graceful
swimmers are all possessed of well-de-
veloped limbs, while dangling, knock
kneed. sharp-elbowed girl or woman
seems always to be shying away from
her own angularity and cutting the
water about as four -bladed knife would
do.
DO you think women ever learn to
swim as well as men?" 1 asked a
trainer.
No; they are always thinking about
how they look, while a man goes in for
all the pleasure he can get out OF it."

Feminine Fancies.

The Vassar girls would be awfully
tickled to have nice bachelor for their
President.
The relatives and friends of Mrs. Sur
raft do not countenance the proposition
to erect monument TO her.
A Brooklyn belle, who will not go to
the country for fear of getting tanned,
sits on the piazza of her residence every
evening and wears different dress each

If the example of Lady Randolph
campaigns in this country, there will be
a great deal more lively talking, but
much less whisky, at political meetings.

woman fire a revolver they were
frightened away.

No Encouragement for Women.

Margaret O'Donnell of Corning was
fined $40 for walloping her husband.
The same old story. No encouragement
for woman to brace up and be some
body in this country. Public spirit
seems to be against woman rising to
an exalted station in life. If some
loafer of a man had pounded O'Donnell
people would have said it was good
enough for him.

AN EMPRESS IN GUM BOOTS.
Her Investigation of the GrievancesI of
Her Subjects.

Her Investigation of the GrievancesI OF
Her Subjects.
The details of the peculiar pilgrimage
of the Empress of Austria have just
been made public. :.d have created
much amusement mixed with admira-
ton for the royal lady.
1t has long been the custom of the
reigning house of Austria to initiate the
ddngs of the Caliph of Bagdad at the
beginning of the Lenten season. The
custom gives the royal rulers an oppor-
tunity, which they would not other
wise have, of mingling among their
subjects without being known, of
listening to their complaints, and get
ting an insight to their grievances.
This year the handsome and popular
Empress disguised herself in an old suit
ami a pair of gum boots belonging to
one of the palace washerwomen. Her
valuable jewelry was left at home. and
she slept with her hands in pail of
water for two nights in order to give
them rough appearance. Her maids
of honor did not recognize the Empress
as she pulled the cloak of her water
proof over head, and walked down the
back stairs.
The Empress took her way to the
poorest quarter of the city. where the
tumble-down shanties and big tene-
ments are jumbled together.
In front of No. Is Strasse de Raven
ma pretty girl stood crying bitterly.
She looked up as the Empress APP
preached. and eyed her curiously.
What is the matter, my dear?" ex-
claimed the Empress. ''Tell me what
troubles you. and / will remedy it if it
be in my power.
Il want a pair of roller skates"
sobbed Beatrice Vincenzo. ''Oliv.tte
MurpherIo has pair of nickel-plated
ones and she has taken all my beaux
away from me-"
The Empress promised to see that
Miss VincenzO got the skates and made
a note of it in her diary.
Crossing over to that part of the CITY
whose residents spent their time tear
ing up the pavements, putting them down
again, and voting for the Commissioner
OF Public sWOrks, the Empress walked
up several flights of stairs in tall tene-
msnt Hearing q woman crying in a
small room she opened the door and
walked in.
my daughter has run off with an
organ grinder" exclaimed the weeping
woman. '-and our family viii never get
over the shock. We are rag-pickers,
