Physical Perfection In u Woman.

The greatest and first essential to phys
ical perfection in q woman lisa figure with.
out an angular line. Nature avoids ang
lar lines everywhere, but in the human
figure especially. A perfectly formed WON
an will stand at the average height Of 5 feet
3 inches to 5 feet Z inches. She will weigh
from 1875 to lao pounds. A plumb line
dropped from q point marked by the tip OF
her nose will touch at a point one inch in
front of her great toe. Her shoulders and
her hips will strike a straight line drawn
up and down. Her waist will taper grad
ually to a size on q line drawn from the
outer third Of the collar bone to the hips
Her bust will measure from 2S to SO inches.
Her hips will measure from 6 to 10 inches
more than this, and her waist will call for
a belt from 20 to % inches.
The arms of the perfectly formed woman
will enc at the waist line, SO that she can
rest her elbow on q table while standing
erect, and her forearm should extend to a
point permitting the fingers to mark q
point just below the middle of, the thigh
Her neck and thigh should be of about the
same circumference. The calf of her leg
and arm should measure about the same
Her legs should be about as long'as q line
drawn from her chin to her finger tips, OF
about one-half her height, say from 2 feet
~ inches to 3 feet 919 inches. She should
measure from her waist to her feet about q
foot more than from her waist to the crown
of her head. Her neck should be from L
to ii inches around, her head erect and or
a line with the central plane of her body
and her feet should be of q size and shape
to conform with her hands.-New York Ad.

must resign myself to being satisfied with
keeping my hands clean and try not to care
il they are ugly"
Here she makes a mistake. She may
have her hands pretty MS well as clean; but,
like everything else worth having in this
world, it will be at the cost Of u little time
and trouble.
In the first place, she should wear gloves
as much as .possible-not tight ones that
will impede the freedom of her movements
and hinder her about her work, but n loose
old pair. Let her put in a claim for those
that have been cast aside by the men of the
house, and cutting off the tips of the fin
gers wear them when she is sweeping, dust
ing, cooking and washing dishes. There is
no reason why she should plunge her whole
hand into a dishpan in search Of a stray
spoon when she can recover it by the aid of
n mop and soap shaker. The gloves will
save her hands from burns, from dust, from
CRIME.
When she washes them, she should use
only the best soap and have a little almond
meal or bran in the water. She should dry
them carefully and anolnt them lightly
with such a mixture as Hlycerin and rose
water, or glycerin inc bay rum, in equal
parts. If her skin will not bear glycerin,
she may use frostilla or some similar prep
a%ration, or she may apply cold cream in
very small quantities, rubbing it we'll into
the skin. After this the hands should be
rinsed in soft water and dried gently and
thoroughly. Should the water be hard, a
little borax will soften it. -Harper's Bazaar.

The Best Kind of Exercise.

Now, why not be exercised? The Turk
ish bath is one step in that direction, and
the floor rest" is another.
Any woman who is fortunate enough to
command the services of a lady's maid or
who can call in an attendant at stated
times or can secure the cooperation of one
of her w family can receive exercise in
stead of exercising. When a long and hard
day of social or serious duties is before or
behind her, this royal way of resting the
muscles and stimulating the respiration is
good and most etlicacious.
Have a warm blanket or drugget, kept
especially for this purpose, spread smooth
ly on the floor. Then get into loose gar
ments and place yourself at full length or
| this hard bed for half an hours manipula
ton.
While you lie as limp and Indifferent as
a rag baby you attendant, whom you
have previously instructed, gently rolls anC
kneads your body, lifts and drops ant
twists and swings your arms and legs.
The head-tLe body's fifth limb-receive:
much the same treatment that is given thu
legs and arms, but should be handled will
special gentleness.
Your own duties consist in first assur
ing yourself that your breathing is full
free and controlled by the diaphragm, ant
then in su%rrendering yourself to a nirvana
like indifference to all things. -Marianns
Mccain in New York Press.

Women as GOssips.

who always says to me when am bending
my energies in warfare on some social evil:
Nov, my dear, what is the use of that?
You can't reform the world" Well, prob
ably l cannot, but it would be an immense
qualification to do Il little reforming among
the ranks of gossiping women.
Idle women, women in mail towns and
in boarding houses will gossip, sometimes
with no intent to harm, but 80 often the
tongue wags m~aliciously, the owner taking
delight in the mischief making. 1t is IA
blight on the fair name of woman that
| some should nave such slanderous tongues,
and it behooves our sex to be up and doing,
to work a reformation. One remedy for the
evil is to keep the brain well stored with
the thoughts of good deeds. Draw inspira-
ton from high minded writer's of prose and
poetry, keep well posted on leading cur
rent topics, and above all avoid petty NAL
ice and envy.

The Use and Abuse of Poultices.

Physicians are often surprised at the
ignorance Of patients concerning the use of
poultices. The trouble arises from a wrong
idea as to the curative action of u poultice.
In general, poultices are primarily local
izers of Inflammation. They act by soften
ing and stimulating the tissues with which
they are brought directly in contact. The
fact that their value lies in the amount of
heat and moisture which they radiate to
these tissues is the reason, probably, for
their application by the laity in every case
where heat and moisture may happen to be
indicated as necessary.
Take, for example, two cases-a poisoned
wound and a finger swollen by muscular
strain. 1t is manifest that these two cases
are not parallel, though in both the appli
cation of beat is indicated as u remedy.
In the case of the poisoned wound, we
have the presence of u foreign substance in
the tissues. This sets up n local infam-
nation, which by means of the circulation
tends to spread and become general. We
| place a poultice over the affected part, and
Immediately the application OF the heat
brings to it a fresh supply Of blood contain
ing numerous leucocytes-white corpuscles
whose business it is to make war upon
all foreign matter with which they may
come in contact, and pus is formed. This
finds a proper means of escape through the
softened tissues under the p~oultice and
with it comes the poison.
In the case of the swollen finger, on the
other hand, we have n simple irritation,
md what we need in the way of treatment
il Just enough heat to draw a renewed sup
! ply of blood to the weakened part for it's
nourishmcnt. But we do not wish as in
The first case to confine the heat long
enough to stimulate the l%eucocytes to nc
tiyity, as in that event we should only have
made IA bad matter worse, with an abscess
10 take care of.
The desired result may be obtained by
simply plunging the finger into water as hot
As can be borne for n short time or by rub

The Benefit,

church Monday evening, was brilliant sue
cess both financially and otherwise. Some
thing like $50 we're the gross receipts and as
all talent participating was donated the
same amount is net and will at once be de-
voted,to sending Mrs. Peyton to hospital
for treatment.
Tn ose who assisted in the program we're
Miss Kraft, organist, and who also gave
two very fine organ selections; Mrs. Jennie
Cahill, Messrs. W. W. Campbell and Chat
terton vocalists; Miss Eloise Merrette, elocu-
ZIONIST; Miss Luella Higgins, violinist; @.
W. jackson and Allie Yeager, tuba and cor
net soloists. All these artists have very
high reputation in their line and it was this
combined with worthy cause Of the benefit
that occasioned the large sale of tickets.
The elocutionary effort of Miss Merrette
was especially fine, she resp onding to an
encore with psntomimic rendition OF
"Jesus, Lover of My Soul" The duet o.
Mrs. Cahill and Mr.. Campbell was Listened
to with the greatest attention, the voices o
each never blending more perfectly. In fact
all the numbers of the program were round
