TO HAVE PRETTY HANDS. :
Simple Methods by Which They May be
Kept Soft and White.

Any woman can have pretty hands
who is willing to go to the least trou-
BILE with them. The hand is easily
nodded and can be shaped or whitened
or the texture changed almost at the
will of the owner. In the first place
the hand has rounded palm and five
graceful fingers that are bound to be
pretty, no matter how treated. The
only things to be done are to make tho
flesh soft the skin white and the nails
an oval which shall be becoming to the
style of the hand. These are the most
difficult things to accomplish, unless
one knows exactly how, and the easiest
if the secret has been learned But of
ultimate success there need be no doubt
The best hand bleach is pure soap
Get enough to fill a teacup when
shaved fnely-castile is very good for
this-and melt with q pint of water
until it is a thin soft soap, Add
little cologne and set away to cool in
big jar. Now, when washing the
hands, lather thicl1ly with this soft
soap and hold them in water which is
only warm. Wash off the soap with
hot water and after shaking the hands
we'll dry them in box of cracked oat-
meal Rub softly until thoroughly dry
and then dust them lightly with
towel, and if in one week the hands
are not beautifully white they may be
given up as the only hands in the
world that are wholly incorrigible
Bony hands, even, can be improved.
The skin of the hands is very suscepti-
BILE to oils, and if mutton tallow, cream
or quantity of good almond oil is
diligently rubbed in twice day, for
ten minutes at time, in a.month the
hands will begin to be plump and
pretty Vaseline is not so good for
this, as on some skins it is apt to pro-
duce a light though undesirable growth
of hair, Lord Byron's old recipe for a
pretty nail still holds good: "a rose
leaf with crescent in IT," And as
most rose leaves are oval let the nail
he as much that shape as possible; and
if you can shape it so, let it curve at
the tip exactly as it does at the end
where the moon" lies. This will ac.
complish the oval. After woman has
made her hands soft and white and
pretty she wants something else, and
that something is the polish which still
continues to be fashionable among so
ciety beauties, in spite of the verdict
that the maniures are against it. Ii
takes longer to manicure a polished
nail than it does dull one, but there
| Is no doubt that il is more elegant
thus. Post.

How an Elephant Fights.

The elephant although very large
animal, is not good fighter. A lion
can jump upon his back and tear off his
big, loose hide in way which will
make the elephant roar with agony
and the tiger and the panther can do
the same to him. Even the kangaroo,
whose front legs are mere paws, has
the advantage of the elephant, for it
can jump underneath him and scratch
vigorously with its two powerful hind
legs, while its forepaws dig deeply into
his sensitive trunk SO the elephant,
in warfare, has to resort to strategy.
One of his tricks is to stand very still,
until the lion or the tiger, as the case
may be, has jumped upon his back, and
then, before there has been time to do
much damage, Mr.. Elephant lies down
and rolls over, crushing his enemy.
There is pretty story told by an Af-
rican explorer of how an elephant
killed whole family of lions by back
ing with them, one by one, into deep
water until they were SO far in the
stream that they could not swim to the
shore. The elephants who was a cum
Mag fellow, would dip very low into
the water and the lions would have to
give up their grip upon his back. Ele-
plants are very intelligent fellows, and
good-hearted, too, if not provoked
