Maine China.

Few people know that the very best
china made in America to-day is made
from Maine teldspar mixed with fine
clay from other fields, but it is a fact.
One-tifth is feldspar and four-fiths is
clay.
The teldspar is ground up finer than
flour and is mixed with clay and water
and strained through silk cloth GOO
strands to the inch. When the stuff falls
from this sieve it resembles milk. and he
water is strained off by means OF canvas
bags. Then the moist clay is made into
he desired form.

Birthday Heroism.

1t is recorded of little Sydney boy that
he allowed his mothers birthday to dawn
without having anything to give her. This
was to him, terrible state of things and
seemed to call for a desperate remedy.
He began by offering her, one after an
other, every toy he owned, but she was
too good natured to take them. AT last,
after carefully considering the whole mat
ter, he said with degree Of earnestness
which showed how much he felt the sacri-
Zee he was about to propose:
Il know what II do I'll take dose of
castor oil for youI' The resources of hero

A Courteous. Chief Justice.

A young lady spending a rainy evening
at the house Of an old gentleman wanted n
cab To take her home Her host started oil
to fetch the cab. do let the maid so, -
she said. My dear. the maid is also a
woman, was the grave reply.
The man was the late George Higin-
botham, chief justice Of Victoria. His
courtesy toward women was regardless #
rank or personal attractiyeness. He would
take of his hat TO his cook and bow as
eraeiously as though she were a duchess.
a man was trying to Lead heavy
draft horse along the street The ami
NAL refused to be led, and then the man
made several Intellectual attempts to
mount the refractory creature At that
moment the chief justice came along, and
seeing the mans difficulty extended his
hand-as mounting block.
The mar put his foot in the hand and
mounted upon the horse back The chief
justice passed on quietly, but to an OBJ
server the kindly deed recalled the words
of the Master whatsoever will be chief
among you let him be your servant.
His courtesy made his manners good
but it did not soften his sense Of justice. y
lawyer tells this anecdote:
Il had once to appear before him in
chambers on behalf OF q charming client
who had some property, but would not
pay her debts. The case was heard in his
own room and he was courtesy itself, He
stood when she entered. l think she
dropped her handkerchief, and he left his
seat to pick it up. Nothing could lie gen.
tier than his manner, and was coEgratu-
lating myself on an easy victory, but when
the facts were heard the decision came
that my client must pay or spend six
months in prison. Youths Companion.

HOW TO BE HEALTHY.

Rules For the Woman who wants to De
Well.
DR.. II. Wincle, an eminent German
professor. says:
No woman can be well unless she is
sbundantly nourished. She must have
plenty Of blood. To keep up sufficient
supply Of this she must eat an abun.

drink plenty of milk and eat plentiful.

peoially essential.
She should exercise freely, and that
exercise should be taken under the most
healthful conditions possible. She
should wear loose clothing at all timesr
but, above all, when exercising. All he,
exercise should be taken as far as prac.
ticable in the open air.
On rising In the morning let her take
plunge bath in cold water I mean by
that to plunge into the water and out
again without remaining minute or
even o second under the surface. Many
women will imagine that this will give
them GOLD, but it will not il properly
done. The whole point is to have reac-
ton take place Immediately. To secure
this have the room in which the bath
is taken heated to at least So degrees
f. Then. when the fair bather energies
from the water, the warm air will
strike the momentarily chilled sur
face Of her body. and reaction will i'm
mediately take place. This should be
still further promoted by vigorous rub
Ing with Turkish towel and remaining
for few moments between warm blank
cts, etc. 1t matters not how cold the
water, provided the entrance into it and
the exit from 1t be as nearly instanta-
neous as possible. No cold can be taken
where there Ia immediate reaction.
Having taken her plunge bath, she
should next take her exercise. II the
weather permits, she should don loose
robe, so that neither her movements
nor her circulation shall be restricted,
and, stepping into the open air, she
should go through regular set Of calls
thenic movements the Importance of
which can scarcely be overestimated

sistently and perseveringly taken is

morning and evening in the open air
daily for year, and will show you q
woman with an erect, noble bearing, a
firm and graceful walk, q complexion
whose bloom no resource Of art can sim
ulate, and calm self possession that
enables her to meet your gaze without
any evidence of awkwardness, embar-
rassment or self consciousness.

How to Clean Hairbrushes.

Ammonia and water have long been
regarded the staple cleansing fluids for
hairbrushes. But this treatment, though
satisfactory enough as far US cleaning
is concerned, is ruinous TO the bristles,
softening and eventually destroying
them. A better method is to rub them
in dry Indian meal until the oil and
dust are completely removed from the
brush
