rae New and the beautiful.

"That is the most peculiar and as
founding faculty of the mind that calls
the new, the beautiful" said Charles
Truax. "Now, just think minute.
Look at the change in fashions, and then
you see it perfectly. The hat that You
wore last season-the one with the stiff
rim and soft crown-how nice and nobby
it looked then! Now, when you tried it
on again the other day, accidentally run
ming across it in the locker, why, it
looked hideous, didn't it? It's impossi-
bic to define why this is so. You can't
say it is because the mind dislikes old
things Some minds DON'T nor that all
minds love the new, the change. Itisn't
exactly because persons dislike to be odd
or our of date, for some take great de-
light in looking strange and odd.
"Others do not wear the new things
first simply to be the first. While | do
not think this sense comes from or guides
itself by any one of these influences, yet
the sum of them all goes to make up a
circle of harmony inside of which one
would rather dwell than out. There are
a thousand little things that the mind
comprehends almost unconsciously and
acts accordingly. 1t is this reflex action
of brain work that makes it possible for
one to understand why we do these
things. st. Louis Globe-Democrat

The Expansion of Solid Bodies.

An ingenious instrument for measur-
ing the expansion of minute solid bodies
is found in the list of inventions. The
substance is placed in the field of a mi
croscope and an image Of it magnifed
several times is thrown on q screen.
This image is further magnifed by two
rnicrometer microscopes which accur-
ately determine the expansion. The
substances heated in a little platinum
oven through which an electric current
passes, and the temperature of the oven
is arrived at by observations on the
melting of standard substances. By the
use of this instrument the thermal ex-
pansion of any substance even to the
smallest diamond can be determined I'M
til the temperature Of combustion is
reached. -Exchange

General Grants Quick Percepttons
One afternoon during the siege Of VicAw-

tar shells dropped into the earth, which
exploded and raised clouds OF dust that
obscured everything in the vicinity for
some moments. :
In this instance few Of Us had watch

A Paradox Explained.

Why does not a man weigh a pound
more immediately after eating pound
weight of food? A little reflection will
readily explain this apparent mystery.
During the process of mastication. de
glutition, etc., certain muscles are
brought into active play, and the exer-
else of any muscle necessitates a tempo
rary waste of its tissues, and certain
amount of carbon is eliminated and
passed off during the course of the meal
This loss, however, is trifing as CON-
pared with that due to respiration and
perspiration, both of which are increased
during the various operations of making
a meal. 80
The length of time one may take to
consume a pound of food makes but lit
tie difference to those losses, for if it is
eaten leisurely there is but slight in
crease of respiration or perspiration,
whereas if it is hurried through both are
abnormally accelerated. Hence by the
time the pound is eaten the consumer
has lost appreciably in moisture and car.

FOR ROUGH HANDS.

A Certain Cure as Simple as it is Effective.
Here is a sure cure for rough, red,
hard hands. 1t comes from a woman
who spent last summer at Warrenpoint,
a famous watering place thirty miles
from Belfast:
During the season Irish girls leave
their chickens and COWS and come to
Warrenpoint to mind children for the
guests. They are big, strong, merry
hearted creatures, green as the country
grows, with pink and cream compilations
and h most beautiful hands imagin-
able. l couldn't account for them be-
cause they were frequently misshaped
and disfigured by ugly, often claw-like
nails. The texture was superb and I
made up my mind to get at the secret.
Here it is: In every farmyard there are
two bins, one containing bran for the
cattle and the other oatmeal for the
chickens. When the girls go to milk
they wash their hands at the pump and
dry them in the CHI; :ken-fecd. The re-
suit is superb han0s-smOoth, soft and
white. When | left the village | took
away as much Irish meal as | could
carry. Now buy the stuff in the feed
store and I use it. | keep it in a bowl
in the bathroom; l wash my bony hands
with CASTLE soap and a pinch Of meal,
mop them with d towel and dry them
in the bowl. My hands are not soft
bones never are-but look at them!'
They were beautiful-smoOth, warm,
fne-skinned and as white as bread

IL often serves to Put an Ofhcer on a
Criminals Track.

Criminals Track.
When flying from justice a criminal
rarely escapes through a disguise. In
very many cases the buying OF the
things selected by him as being most
helpful to conceal his identity affords
a cfew which insures his capture. IN
most cases shaving off the beard or
mustache is relied upon to hide a like
ness, but the police always recognize
such a proceeding as probable, al n
expert thief-taker is we'll able t o iden-
tify his mar minus such adornments.
In some cases, indeed, the wanted
persons likeness is put into the detec-
tives' hands with the mustache and
whlskers removed, showing what the
man will be like without them. An
~absconding bank cashier a short time
ago attempted to leave the country
dressed as a IN His dis
guise was seen through by a keen-cved
detective, who was watching outward
bound vessels, and although he did not
recognize the nan he detained him on
suspicion, and communicating with the
head authorities, the prisoner was soon
identified.
In that case the disguise itself actual
~ led to the detection Of the criminal.
In two other recent cases men wearing
false boards and mustaches were Sc
cured by the policemen anxious to dis
cover their reasons for wearing them.
These afterward proved to be so unsat-
isfactory that one of them received
eight and the other eleven years penal
servitude. The thing'which most stands
a criminal in good stead in making his
escape is his having a Common face
one with no marked popularity, and an
iron nerve, to enable him to carry him
self like an innocent person.-Irish

BE Ready for breakfast.

A friend was asked the other day
how he happened to have his breakfast
SO on time every morning that he was
as a rule always ready to start for bust
ness at the hour appointed. The an
swer was: For twenty years | have
been keeping house and l never in all
that time have had to wait a moment
for my breakfast. / believe the reason
to be that in all that time l have eve
failed to be ready for it at the hour
that l had appointed. Tell a servant
that you want a meal at a certain hour
and then be sure yourself to be on hand
at that hour. One trouble in families
is hat they will say, for instance, that
they breakfast at eight o'clock: that
means that they will come down if they
feel like it; one morning at half-past
eight, the next at eight, possibly the
next at a quarter to nine, and then if
the man is in a hurry perhaps he will
scold if he does not get his meal at Il
quarter to eight. The result is that the
servants see hat there is no order in
the household and they do not care to
be regular themselves. | have never
vet failed to be on hand at the hour,
and although we have had a great num-
Der and variety of servants have eve
had to wait five minutes for a very early
