How to have n Good Complexion.
To keep tine complexion and spirits
good, to preserve grace, strength and
agility Of motion, there is no gymnasi-
um SO valuable, no exercise more be-
nefcent in it's results than sweeping,
dusting, making beds, washing dishes
and polishing of brass and silver. One
year of such muscular effort within
the open air, will do more for a wom-
an complexion than all the lotions and
pomades that ever were invented. Per-
haps the reason why homework does SO
much more for women than games seem
to do is because the exercise once begun
must be carried on to the finish. It Of

and makes things seem worth while.

How TO Care For the Isapy.

A very great drawback in babies out
door garments is that they usually have
capes that are cut SO as to fasten round
the neck and leave most of the weight
dragging behind A coat shaped pelisse
In which the weight is partly borne by
the shoulders is far better. Earache is
usually the result of cold, taking chill
dren out in high wind or letting them
sit or stand in keen draft.
II the presence of earache is suspect
ed, just a drop of sweet oil dropped in
on either side will frequently give re-
lief, because it softens the wax that
sometimes accumulates in the ear. Ma
ture does not often provide too much,
but now and then an extra quantity is
secreted. No one must ever be permit
ted to poke anything, not even the cor

water and dabbing dry with a soft hand

How Chalk Is Made.

When received at the mill, the chalk
Is put into great machines and ground
in water, then foated off into watts of
water, where all the impurities and
foreign substances are precipitated, the
water being afterward drawn off by
series of filtering operations and the soft
residuum dried by steam heat and ex-
posure to the air. The substance is then
reduced to a powder of different degrees
of fneness by grinding in bur mills
and betting, when it is ready to be
packed in barrels and shipped for use,
among the largest consumers being the
rubber goods manufacturers. Rubber,
In its crude state being sticky, unman-
ageable and available only for very SIM
pie purposes, becomes vulcanized and
hardened by adding to it chalk while it
Is hot, thus rendering it suitable for the
various uses to which it is put. As is
well known, large quantity of chalk
