Care Of the Hands.

There are not nearly as many secrets
in hand treatment as people imagine
A little ammonia or boraxin the water
you wash with and that water lust
lukewarm will keep the skin clear and
soft. A little oat meal mixed with the
water will whiten thehands. Many peo-
pie use glycerine on their hands when
they go TO bed, wearing gloves to keep
their bedding clean, but glyccrine
does not agree with every one. 1t
makes some skins harsh and red
These people should rub their hands
with dry oat meal and wear gloves in
bed. The best preparation for the
hands at night is white of an egu with
a grain OF alum dissolved il. Ouacks
have a fancy name for il, but all can
make It. They also make the Roman
toilet paste. 1t is merely the white OF
an egg, barley flour and honey. They
say 1t was used by the Romans in
olden times. At any rate. it Is q first
rate thing; but it is sticky, and does
not do the work any better than oat
meal. The toughest and hardest
hands can be made soft and white in
the space OF a month by doctoring
them little at bed time; and all tools
you need are q nail brush, a bottle
OF ammonia, box of powdered borax
and a little fine white sand to RIB
the stains off, or a cut OF lemon, which
will do even better, for the acid OF the
lemon will clean ANYTHING.

could not but be impressed with the
truth OF what had been said. She
was gay with the gay, silent when any
one else wanted to talk, laxative with
the shy, always good tempered. never
TOO animated, and never, never yisibly
IN pain nor in tears. She was ALWAYS
charming, bright, sympathetic and
sweet. She was witty, too. but not
terribly so. She kept her wit to isu-
mine conversation and to tighten dull
spirits; not to burn hearts, nor scorch
sensitive feeling. Every body went
from her presence feeling comfortable
IN spirit and with reasonably satisfied
hearts. She was a peacemaker and a
courage-strengthener. There are two

A shopping or knitting bag is some
thing the use OF which will soon prove
its value. Seyen-eighths OF a yard Of

will be needed for the foundation of
the bag. The center square is OF stiff
canvas or buckram, covered with plush
or silk, with embroidered bands. or an
arobesque done i'll outline. This is
stitched to the center OF the satin
foundation. The bag is lined with
thin silk, or it may be left without
lining and joined at the sides with a.
drawn cord effect. The hems are
deeply turned at the top, and casing
Tor double ribbons put in to draw
the whole together. For u shopping
bag, the colors should be dark-brown
or gray embroidered with yellow silk
and gold thread. An open cayas for
the square to be worked with cross
stitch, can be bought at the art stores.
and also small leather handles, or
straps, which are fastened to the
canvas. The bag should be made q
good size, or it loses its purpose. as

We once read of young rabbit that
slipped into a garden of cabbages. The
garden was inclosed with a wire fence
The young rabbit had good and jolly
time in that garden as he Toasted daily
on the luscious cabbage. He had heard
of the danger of traps and wire fences
but he did not seem to see any imme-
diate danger around him. so he con
cluded to remain all summer in that
delightful place The more he ate Of
the cabbages the larger he grew. He
never dreamed that he might grow too
large to get ont through the hole he
came in at. But that was just pre-
cisely the danger that was soon TO
overtake him He fattened daily upon
the delicious food. He soon became as
large as a grown rabbit, but the only
hole of escape didn't grow bit larger.
One day he heard the football of man
coming into his garden and he con-
eluded he would slip out and disappear
