Cold Weather Suggestions.

As cold weather approaches women
try to devise means for preventing hands
and lips from chapping. An excellent
remedy to prevent chapping is cold
cream. Amanicure says that itwhitens
the skin more than any preparation. 1t
has taken the place of the old time rem
edy-mutton suet. 1t should be well
rubbed into the skin, and gloves, pref
erably white, slipped on. The palms of
tho gloves should be slit in several places
to allow the air and prevent cramps of
the muscles, and the finger tips clipped
off. Vaseline should never be allowed to
touch the hands. 1t turns the skin yell
low and leaves stain on the nails that
is hard to clear away.
In winter cold water should be used
sparingly. Its action roughens the skin
unpleasantly. Tepid water, with very
few drops of household ammonia and a
good lather of CASTLE or borax soap, is
advisable. If the hands are inclined to
redness, the trouble lies in the way Of
circulation, and slight gymnastics will
relieve it.

FJEi. FOR PARIS.

The Ccsl From Three Countries Is Mixed
Tor Domestic Use.
Whenever possible the Seine is util
lied for the transportation Of fuel to
Paris. Nearly all the great wholesale
firms have their yards in the neighbor
hood of tho river The railroads also
bring a great deal of wood and coal to
the city. AS the trains move slowly
through the yards Of some of the lines
of railroad the passengers can see in
closures filed with cord wood, store
houses of sacks of fuel; also cars loaded
with these sacks, which all seem to be
of the same size. The opening of tho
sacks is secured by lacings of cord, and
the cords fastened by leads. Here also
may be seen, stored On cars, large un-
perforated briquettes for use in engines
and manufactures. Along the embank-
ment of.the Seine may beseen hundreds
of cords of wood piled in such regular
order that one could well believe that
the spacings were measured off with a
rule.
The coal is from English, French and
Belgium mines Sometimes the three
kinds are mixed for use in the kitchen
ranges.
The shops for the sale Of fuel by retail
are almost as numerous as the bakeries.
They are always neat, and the wood,
coal and kindlings are arranged i'll a
most artistic manner. The wood is piled
SO as to show the evenly sawed ends.
The samples Of coal are arranged in
glass dishes. and in some of the shops,
where orders are taken for the whole
sale places, wood is arranged in the
windows and decorated with growing
moss and ferns. Indeed the chief aim Of
the French shopkeeper is to make his
shop attractive. ve.-Ladies' Home Jour

WEIGHT OF BIRDS HEARTS.
They Are Heavier In Proportion Than
Those of Animals.

They Are Heavier In Proportion Than
Those of Animals.
Most people will be surprised to learn
that the hearts of birds are far heavier
proportionately than the hearts of ami
mails, including man, but little ex-
PLANTATION will show that this is quite
natural. The more the body works the
greater the demand upon the heart, upon
which falls the duty of driving the
blood through the body; hence the heart
develops and becomes heavier. Every
body knows that birds are among the
most active and hard working of living
creatures The swallow can overtake an
express train. The falcon will carry a
load weighing three pounds in the air
without hindrance to its power of flight
Or its speed. In short, they have tre-
mendous capacity for work.
The celebrated ornithologist, Marcy,
states that a sea gull Weighing 11a
pounds is capable of performing in one
second work equivalent to raising q
weight of nine pounds one yard high. A
man weighing 1870 pounds, to be equal
to the sea gull, would have to lift 78C
pounds one yard high in one second. II
man becomes an athlete or carries
heavy loads, his heart grows proper.
tionately. No wonder, therefore, that
the hearts Of our active feathered friends
are strikingly heavy as compared with
the bulk of their bodies.
The average weight Of the humar
heart in normal circumstances is FIVE
one -thousandths Of the total weight Of
the body. DR.. Carl Parrot has lately
weighed the hearts of various animals
and birds and has found the averages tt
be as follows, the figures representing
the one-thousandth parts of the tota
weight: Pig, 4. SO; OK, 4. SO; sheep, Sol
horse, 6.31. The domestic animals thu
come fairly close to man. The wild
roebuck has an exceedingly heavy hear

Most birds are long way ahead O.
animals. The carrier pigeon comes ou
at 1925; the common sparrow, 16. 30
the hobby, an extremely active specie
of falcon, 16.9 98, and the song thrush

five times heavier than that of man il
