" All she lacks of beauty

All she lacks Of beauty
is a little plumpness."
This is a frequent thought,
and a wholesome one.
All of a baby's beauty is
due to fat, and nearly. all of a
woman's -we know it as
curves and dimples.
What plumpness has to do
with health is told in a little
book on CAREFUL LIVING; sent
free.
Would you rather be
healthy or beautiful? "Both"
is the proper answer.

The court asked the district attorney
If he was prepared to maintain that
entrance had been effected in any
other way than through the window
in question. The attorney answered
in the negative and the judge seemed
on the point Of doing as the lawyer
for the defense had requested.
At that moment the district attorney
rose, and in a commanding voice told
the prisoner to stand up. The prisoner
:obeyed.
''sHold up your right hand gas high
as you can reach" said the district at.
torney. It was done. - ..,&
''Put your left hand down by your
side, That was done.
Then, while every one was wonder
ing what the unusual proceeding meant
the district attorney seized the window
frame, threw it over the prisoners g
uplifted arm, and with sudden jerk
brought it clean over, the shoulders;
then, with both hands, he pulled it
down over the mans body taking of
a button or two and calling out an ex-
clamation Of pain or anger. The next
instant the frame lay about the pris.
Oner's feet unbroken.
The court declined to- order an ac.
| quittal, and in due course the jury
| brought in a verdict Of guilty.

An Old. Fashioned Game.

Our parents and even our grandpar-
ents used to play "Hunting the Whis-
de.' It may be new to our young
folks of the present day. In the Month
ly Transcript we find description
which implies that all the boys and
girls of to-day do not know about it.
It is necessary to select some one who
knows nothing Of the game; if posi-
bic, pompous or sedate old or young
gentleman Or lady, or a bashful young
man. While all cluster around talking
and laughing some one with very deft
fingers must with safety pin fasten
to the, back Of the mans coat or. the
Woman's dress, small whistle at
tached to a string, SO that it will hang.
AL the others take their seats in two
rows, facing, with. a narrow aisle be-
tween, the hunter starts down the
aisle, and some one sounds thewhistle.
The one who is hunting it turns around
'u1oI4 seIHoo >9s!ou 9ql o19qA eos ol
and by that time some one on the
other line Of seats leans forward and
blows the whistle which is fastened
to the victim. All are pretending to
be passing something, and the unhappy
hunter jumps from one to the
other, thinking he has found it, whiIo
suddenly it sounds behind him agaia.
1t is Immense fun for all but the uI;-
fortunate one.

Spanish Lltecut3lre,

The outlook for the future of Spanish
literature, particularly the novel, seems
good. The attempts Of twenty-five
years ago, not always successful from
the point Of view Of sincerity, even
when made by professional novelists,
have been followed by such an advance
toward perfection, that good novels
are now written by writer's primarily
critics, such as Valera and BaZan; and
steady advance in conception and in re-
suits has been made by those who oc-
cupy themselves chiefly as Valdes does,
with the writing of novels. Tor Ameri-
cans, who either love a. good story for
itself or have ambition to enrich our
own literature on the side Of the novel,
there is and apparently will be for
SOME Tine to come a great deal II con.
temporary Spain worthy of their at
tention. It was the oninion Of the late
Spanish element in our nationality
there should be a Spanish influence
upon our literature AS matter OF
history Spain has always been favor
ite field for American poets and Schol
ars. Longfellow, Lowell, Ticknor, Pres
cott, and recently Howells as a critic
have enlightened their own country
men or awakened the gratitude of Span
ish hearts by their interests in SDanist
literature and Spanish history. For the
Spanish nature, misrepresented as un

Removing Scale From Boilers,

A method of removing scales from
boilers has been bro ught before the
Scientific association of SaNony by one
OF It's members. . After trying 4 great
number OF materials for this purpose,
he decided on liquid carbonic acid as
the most eficacious. The acid is held
in a tank connected with the boiler,
which is filled with connected cold
water. The water is soon saturated
with the acid, and the carbonc acid
water dissolves the carbonate Of lime,
the. principal component of boiler scale,
forming acid carbonate of lime The
gypsum combined with it is also pre-
cipitased, and on the water being drawn
off it is found that all scale has been
removed from the boiler.

But all this isn't telling you about

of course, but I~didn't know exactly
what to do with so much time. had
been so used to getting up early that
I found I couldn't sleep wink after
6 o'clock, and the days seemed as
though, they never would, end. I was
sitting in my room one morning about
fortnight ago when one of my friends
who was staying home with a felon on
her finger, dropped in and proposed to
go up to the worlds fair
tits a lovely day." said she, ''and
We'll have a grand time; come along!'
At first I thought I oughtn't to go,

The way to the entrance gates is
lined with showmen who exhibit eY-
cry ware you can think, from red lemo-
made to two-headed calves. I thought
we never would get through the
crowd, for I, am not used to being out
in a celebration of any kind, and was
a little shocked by the universal rude
ness. AT first tried to step out of
everybody's way and beg pardon for
pushing, but my friend said we would
never get there if we didn't push with
with the rest, SO I had to go back on
my manners and elbow my way rather
rudely We didn't have a speck of
trouble getting through the gates. I
had read good deal in the paper
about the guards and the gatekeepers,
and expected we might be brought up
Short by some of them, but they were
just as gentlemanly and kind as they
could be all through. a..

woman's building first" said my friend.
Its right close at hand, and I see
you're tired" So we entered the big
doorway of q white house that was
covered with angels blowing trumpets
and waving wings, and walked straight
through to a hall where there were
lots Of beautiful pictures.

hope you understand that every one of
these pictures you see before you was
painted by: women!'
''Good gracious!' said I, IT never
knew they could do it!'
Indeed, women can do anything in
this day. They can whip any man
that's going, with his own weapons,
too, and no favor"
But they can't VOTE" said I, and
/ after awhile added, 'and I'm glad Of
| it,"
My friend was going to say some
thing in reply, but just then heard
some one near us say, "There goes
Mrs. Palmer!' We turned quickly, but
she had gone into little room and shut
the door before we had chance to
look. 1 was real sorry, for I have a
great respect for Mrs. Palmer. I
think she is very capable woman, be-
sides being a right good one, and
wanted to see her.

in the Woman's Building and I never
saw so many lovely things in all my

She is going to ride a mile or more

squares before she. suddenly turns
around to see if the conductor is where

He is there, and she feels relieved, but

She crosses the left foot over the right,
uncrosses, idgets with her shopping
bag and parasol, and twists around to
see the conductor. Up goes his hand
to the strap, but she suddenly decides
not to get of-not just then.
'Hang that woman! Does she want
to get off or no?' growls the conductor
under his breath.
She moves parasol and bag over on
