How Women Should Walk.

There Is no doubt that this pastime
properly INDUCED in is saving grace
to womenkind. 1t is the simplest form
of outdoor exercise, and yet the major
ity of American women don't know
how TO take it. They can't walk. They
can't stand the fatigue, and If the truth
must be told they don't know how to go
about doing IL. Eight out of a dozen
will put on an elaborate frock with
skirts that flap inconveniently at every
step, a tight bodice and tightly fttin 2
high heeled shoes. This is well enough
for a short stroll, but if you're going to
walk and enjoy 1t you require differ
ent equipment. Wear q lightweight
frock that has no pullback arrange
meuts, and see that there is no more
than one skirt worn underneath. Bal
briggan tights are quite the best
underwear for such occasions, if one
does not wish to don q silk divided
skirt, which is really next easier to
q pair of wings to get about in. Let
the cord of your stays be loosened, and
wear q bodice that is quite easy and
loose sleeved.
Wear shoes that are entirely comfort.
able and have somewhat broad low
heel Let your gloves be loose also,
and if you carry a sunshade let it be
light in weight, and wear a hat which
does not press down upon and
bind your brow until it gives you a
headache.
Next, mind how you walk. Square
your shoulders, expand your chest
and look out for your chin. That is
the pivot upon which depends the
the poise of the machine. Step out
easily and firmly, letting the ball of the
foot strike the ground first, so that You
get the benefit of that beneficent little
spring which Dame Nature built into
your instep to save the rattle and lar
to the whole system which people who
will walk on their heels inflict on their
anatomy.
Don't exhaust yourself by a long
tramp one day, and then lie on a
sofa or in hammock for a week to get
over the fatigue. Begin with short
stretches and increase the distance
daily. Early morning and late after
noon are the best hours for walking.
When you return to the house a
sponge bath, a rub with alcohol, follow
ed by q liberal application of violet
| powder, cool gown, a glass of milk
and q nap are a treatment that Will
make you feel healthy; happy and wise
all through the Summer DAYS, and

thinking the matter over you will find
that they want water where they can
get it any time; thy want q room

leaves for their grain. Hens are early
risers and want to be fed early in the
morning.

entirely escape injury. 1t has been
found by observations that a ther-

average temperature as thermometer

A Beautiful Skin.

The plainest features become pretty
when clothed with fresh velvety skin.
1t is in the power of every woman to
have soft, fine skin, thus adding much
to her charms, if she will devote little
time and care to her toilet. 1t should
be duty as well as pleasure to every
woman to enchance the powers of at
tractlveness. First of all, one must
keep the face free from those unslghtly
black heads or grubs. Battle the face
In hot water; rub Oh little oil and
then take an old-fashioned watch-key
and pry out all the large ones. After
ward rub on cream or any soothing
ointment. In the morning there will
be no trace of the redness. To have a
clear skin 1t Is essential to keep the di-
gestIve organs IN good order and sleep
as much as possible. Sleep will do
more to preserve the freshness of youth
than any other one thing. at night wash
the face in warm water-never use hot
using soap freely to remove dust of
the day. Then take a pint of cold
water. to which tablespoonful of bay
for five minutes. Dry the face on a
a pleasant friction. Lastly, spread a
little cream Iighly on the the face and
neck. Use only the finest cream and
purest soap in the market. In the
morning remove the grease with plenty
of warm water and soap-followed by a
cold bath as at night. Then apply a
little powder with soft linen rag to
remove the shine. Powder is an essen
tial adjunct to lsdy's toilet-let men
say what they will to the contrary-but
never use a cheap powder. The best
will be found harmless. Avoid all face
lotions, as their use Is sure to ruin the
skin. By following the above direc-
tions you will find IN a short time that
those horrid little specks that give the
skin such coarse look will disappear
and the skin become as soft as a rose
petal.

II had been observed that many of
the rivers of SsIony, which flow
through loose or soft materials, have
8 steep bank on the east, northeast or
southeast, while the opposite shore is
fat Herr Rucktaschel, who has been
studying the subject, attributes this
one-sidedness TO the action Of the pre-
vai.ing southwest, west or northwest
winds, which drive the rains almost At
right angles against the bank sloping
from the east, and wash away the soil
in much greater quantity than from
the western bank. Some of the river

similar phenomena.
