A New Soda Fountain.

One of the most expensive, as well
as one Of the neatest soda fountains
in Rock Island. has been placed in
Hartz & Ullcmeyer's drug store, on
the corner oe Twentieth street and
Third avenue. 1t covers space of
nine feet long and five feet wide. and
reaches from the floor to the ceiling.
The fountain proper was manufac-
tured by Otto Zwietusch, OF Milwau-
kee, and the wood work by the Rock
Island Variety wood works: The foun
tain consists of the columbian
Baimoral Body" executed in marble
AS follows: Vert Maurin front. black
Belgian marble ends and covers.
black and gold marble bands, Griotte
mouldings and Mexican onyx tiles.
There are 20 syrup and six drausht
tubes. and the wood work is all hand
carved. 1t is the idea Of the pro-
prietors, and the work has been cx-
ecutcd at a cost of $1,000, which is
an evidence of the progressive spirit
Of the hustling young proprietors OF
the store.
Hartz & Ullemever will have their
new fountain running tonight.

How to Rest

To begin with, women sit too much.
and women stand quite too much. Stand
ing about and sitting are not resting,
however cleverly women may delude
themselves on this point. Absolute re-
pose comes to the tired muscles only
when the body is in a reclining posi-
ZION, and absolute repose comes to the
oyerstrung nerves only when the mus
cular system is perfectly at rest-relax-
ed. The middle aged woman should
learn how to rest. Five minutes of rest
fiat on ones back on the floor or on a
hard, smooth couch are worth half an
honr Of so STYLED rest in an armchair or
in that unreposeful tenpter, the rock
ing chair. Some one has said to the
women of today, Never stand when
you can sit; never sit when you can lie
down. This exhortation, applied with
some elasticity, is the best recipe fol
beauty know of. / recommend fire.

they re cranky enough, Lord knows.
Now, look at me and my profession, for

ShelIey's Feminine Admirers.

Mr.. Graham in his recoIlections Of
Jane Clermont, Mary Shelley half sis
fer, has this transcription OF talk with
her:
''All you ladies', remarked, ''seem
to have formed a kind Of adoring circle
around Shelley
"Yes, she said. 'Shelley had an IL
resistible attraction for all women. His
nature was so pure and noble, the tone
Of his poetry, whenever woman is
mentioned, is of an almost unearthly
purity. Instead OF holding with Byron
that woman is inferior to man, he look
ed up to woman as something higher
and nobler. Many of his poems express
this feeling most forcibly.
1.-THE desire of the moth for the star.
The desire of the night for the morrow,
The devotion to something affair.""
81 can imagine Shelley said, al
most like a pretty girl himself. l am
sure that poetical epistle to Maria CHS
borne is most ladylike.
She replied Indignantly: Not at all.
There was no lack Of manliness about
Shelley. He was utterly without any
sense of fear, always in the open air,
yachting Or taking strong physical exer-
tion. He was the finest walker of any
man of the Byron-Shelley clique and
could tire out almost any Of the others. ;"

HOW TO LOOK YOUNG.
fhe Face May Be Alucl, I'm proved by Prop
eY Exercise.

The facial muscles especially, which
are apt to be almost if not entirely neg
lected, may be so developed that face
that had already dropped into the un-
becoming lines Of age will assume again
the rounded curves Of comparative
youth. The following exercises are rec
commended for filling out and develop
ing the muscles of the face First. smile
as broadly as you can; then place three
fingers on the punched up portion of the
cheek and allow the features suddenly
to relax, raising the fingers at the same
time. Continue to do this until tired.
The fingers should be placed high or
the cheek bone, so that the muscles
when smiling will push against them,
thusgiving the desired resistance, which
is necessary to the enlargement of the
tissue.
The second exercise is to again smile
broadly, but this time, instead of allow
ing the corners Of the mouth to be curv-
ed upward, try to draw them out in
straight line toward the center Of the
checks; then place the two thumbs one
Oh each corner of the mouth and work
the corners backward and forward by
relaxing and contracting the mouth.
Exercise No. 3 is with the chin. Press
the lower lip upward, and it will be
seen that the chin will be raised and
become hard; crook the forefinger SO as
to make half circle and put it over
the point of the chin, pressing it against
the latter as it rises and relaxing the
pressure instantly as it assumes|its nor
NAL position. In this exercise the teeth
should be kept closed. Most faces that
are thin are apt to be hollow between
the upper and the lower jaw, and two
exercises are recommended for filling
out the checks. Take two small pieces
Of india rubber, such as come in the
ends of pencils, and insert on each side
of the mouth between the back teeth,
close the teeth on them and chew,
spreading the teeth only just far enough
apart to keep the Iubbers in their place
and shutting them with all the force
possible. After this put the forefinger
into the mouth and rub it against the
check, pressing it outward in every way,
reaching as far back as it is possible.
1t is said that by regularly following
these simple exercises daily the face
may be kept rounded and firm in its
outlines, and that even old and relaxed
muscles may be greatly strengthened
and improved.
