Care of the Nails.

care OF Cne NallSs
The nails should be cut regularly once
week before washing, for if soft one is
apt to cut them too short. When wash
ing rub diligently every knuckle and
every nail with the rag. The hand can
not be rubbed too long. With the nail
of one finger push down the flesh
around another and clean the nails with
one another while still in the hot suds.
Then rinse and put on glycerine, rub
ibing very long; then rinse this off and
put on almond -four, which will give
ssoftness and gloss to the skin. When
this is rinsed off and the hands dried
carefully the result is success.
Never use either scissors or anything
sharp under the nail, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch If cleaner is necessary, fold
a piece OF the edge of newspaper into
a point and use that. Then polish the
nails with a chamois rubber, and finally
rub the nails upon your cheek and all
the oil necessary will be obtained.
Should any stain like shoe polish OF
ink get under the nail put on some cold
cream, and after rubbing carefully rinse
off with hot water. When fruit-picking
and preserving time comes rub little
butter on the finger tips and under the
nails then rinse off with hot water be-
fore using soap, as the soap is apt to set
the stain.

Care of Ladies' Shoes.

On the principle that "All's we'll that
ends well' the appearance of woman Is
foot is of supreme Importance, says
Helen Jay in Ladies' Home Journal.
Treat your shoes tenderly. Have one
pair sacred to rainy weather, for rubbers
ruin fine leather.
Avoid varnish and blacking of all
kinds and substitute vaseline. First rub
your shoes with a piece of old, black
silk; then apply the vaseline with a
soft, black kid glove.
you insist on your dressmaker fac
ing your gowns with velvet or velveteen
instead of braid you will lessen your
shoemaker's bill and be saved from
the purple blemish on the instep caused
by the movements of the skirts in walk
ing.
When buttons come off, don't hunt up
old shoes and use the shabby buttons,
but invest 5 cents in a card of shining
black beauties. and have them ready for
emergencies. One old button spoils the
style of shoe.
CATERS are charitable things and
cover a multitude of defects. Half-worn
boots will last long time under their
kindly protection. Now is good time
to buy them, and in most shops you
can get a pair for $l.65.
To save your evening shoes and slip
pers invest in pair of white fleece
lined Arctic boots, which will cost 50,
but save ten times that amount in car
riage hire and medicine, not to mention
the shoes themselves.
After removing your shoes put them
In correct position by pulling up the
uppers and tapping the flap over and
pinch the instep down to the toe, bring
ing the fullness up instead of allowing
it to sag down into the slovenly breadth
of half-worn foot gear.
A boot that is kicked off and left to lie
where it falls, or IS thrown into the
closet, will soon lose shape and gloss.

The Decline of the Earring.

There is certain pleasure in watch
ing the decline and fall of the earring,
writes New York correspondent. If l
had written Looking Backward"
should have inserted somewhere remi-
niscence of the last woman who bored
holes in her flesh to permit the taste n
ing of an ornament. The attempt to
revive the Creole or hanging earring has
utterly failed. The faintest suggestion
OF weight attached to the ear now dis
pleases most well-bred women. Occa-
:sionally you see face of such shape
that hanging earrings are temptingly
becoming. Nettie Hooper, the pretty
daughter of Lucy Hooper, the Paris cor
respondent, wore large Creole earrings
set with small pearls at recent recep-
tion, and they accented her piquency,
but the hanging earring, as a rule, is an
abomination. Even the stud earring is
less worn. Fine jewels are less often
set in earrings, and many which have
thus been used are going back to the
jewellers to be reset as pendants or in
brooches. 1t is not usual thing now to
see debutante whose ears have been
pierced, and matrons often use little
articles to conceal the traces OF the
needle

Destruction Of Our Forests

While France and most European
countries spend millions every year for
the maintenance and protection of their
forests, the New York Sun draws at.
tention to the fact that ''the United
States seems to go madly on with the
systematic destruction of its most val
liable timber, such as white ash the
scarcest of all the woods used in the
construction of CARRIAGES and wagons;
old-growth ash so extensively used TO
the interior finishing of houses and
cabinet work; wildwood, Eastwood,
white oak and hickory. for which there
is no good substitute in all the world as
carriage timber. All through the
South and in the State of Ohio there is
every year an indiscriminatc slaughter
of the finest hickories as ever grew, and
it is high time that Legislatures should
open their eyes to this lamentable state
of affairs"

Alfred Trumble in the New York Daily
Neps, but there is crank now making

species of barrel-shaped lifeboat in

cover many merits. It is constructed

1 should advise persons interested in
maritime matters to hunt Graham up,
and give his neat and comprehensive lit
tie model some serious attention.
Stranger things have happened than that
such an idea should come to something,
