Beauty Rules OF a Princess.

As rule, though, the way Of sleeping
is responsible for ugliness or beauty, if
the word Of those who have studied looks
can be weighed. q Amelie Rives Chanler,
now the Princess Troubetskoi, regards
the way Of sleeping all important. Her
method of sleeping her beauty sleep is to
begin an hour before she goes to bed with
q bath in cool cologne water, deepening to
chilled water more highly perfumed than
the first. The alcohol cleanses the skin,
and the cold water prevents the bather
from taking cold la the skin next day.
When sleeping the head rests upon a pill
low of flowing hair, not twisted upon
curriers' or touched 10y hairpins. The pill
low is pine-needle one; with down un-
derneath 10 make sOftness. The room nu-
which the beautiful authOress sleeps i a
cold one, made hot an hour before time TO
rise. Another cold bath in perfumed
water, and the beauty sleep is over, and
with most beneficial results, for no one is
more beautiful than the newly-married
princess.

Horse Meat as Hen Food.

Hundreds of barrels OF cooked horse
meat gre sold every winter 10 poultry
raisers. The horseficsh j. cooked in
tight tanks under steam pressure of a
pounds. This penetrates every particle
of the meat, purifying and cooking it
thoroughly. In this form the meat will
keep from one TO four weeks, according
% the weather. There is no practical
way Of preserving horse meat for any
length Of time. Where il can not be
cooked by steam it should he boiled. The
meat might be salted the same a. beef,
but il would have to be freshened before
being used, and it is question whether
il would then be a safe feed for hens. IL
is good food for egg production. One Of
the most popular brands Of poultry meat
on the market is made from carefully
prepared and well cooked horsehesh.-

An Industrious Mole.

Down along the river bank, after the
water had receded into narrow chan
mel, through which il tumbled and
eddied and belched up great rings,
there WAS left a broad sand fiat. This
sand fiat fell of in broad steps, in
which, here and there, were left shall
low pools. Big gnariy stumps of trees,
probably grown many miles up the
river. had occasionally stranded, after
floating down on the rivers surface,
and gathered piles Of driftwOod about
them. Barrels and boxes and all sorts of
strange piunder were 10 be found, and
it i not altogether unlikely that one
by looking closely might have found
more than one article OF value.
The sand had dried down rs hard
aud firm ~ on any Atlantic beach. Ii
was springy, too, just the thing for
brisk walking. And walking on il
was Joy. There were neither jostling
elbows, nor sweet smells, nor sounds.

wind and the yellow river oozing along

Traversing this flat was remarkable
little ridge or welt 1t started in the
sand where the last river bank had
hegun, jast before the river recedei.
Above il the grasses hung over the
five-foot hank, and towering aloft was
q large cottonwood tree. The welt ran
straight out toward the river l,W0
yards or more, then turned west and
wound in a waving line up stream. For
nearly two miles il could be followed,
waving here and there, never disap-
pearing below the surface and neyer
changing in appearance until ii sud-
drnly lost itself in another bank Of

Scientific Sewing.

In the Chicago Jewish Training
School, says the ChGutdnqHan, sewing
and garment cutting is n part OF the
regular curriculum, and the pupils are
given credit for good work in mathe-
matics or any other study,
III the first grade the pupils work on
what is known n the railroad canvas
and are taught TO take the different
stitches used in sewing with precise ac-
curacy. In the second grade new
stitches are added and the canvas is
fashioned into little bag. In the
third grade the first cItting is done.
The fourth grade is devoted to stock
ing and linen darning, which is 80
beautifully done that il resembles art
needlework more than mending. In
the fifth grade patterns are drafted,
first on the blackboard and then on pa
per. II is astonishing how quickly
girls of from 10 to II Years can draft a
pattern. Many of them after the
measures are taken aud tabulated, will
draft perfectly fitting dress waist pat
tern in three minutes.
In the sixth grade the cutting and
making OF underwaists and all sorts of
undertaking are taught. In the
seventh grade instruction is given IN,
cutting and fitting gowns and other
clothes for little children, huge doll
being used a. a model.
The eighth grade white patching is
taught and the graduating dress made
The time occupied by pupils in this
school in the sewing department is 10
minutes twice week by pupils of the
first two grades, aud 80 minutes by
those OF the other six. The work done
10y the girls who take this course and
who have had no previous training Or
of any sort is, not excepting
the mending, exquisite.
