a wELL.kEPT HAND.
No Woman of Refinement will Neglect

No Woman of Refinement will Neglect
Manicuring.
To paraphrase an old epigram, a
well-kept hand does not necessarily be-
speak a woman of refinement, but no
woman of refinement will have other
than a well-kept hand. The gentlest
lady's hand may be hard of palm and
red of knuckle, because they are no
strangers to the broom and dish mop,
but they need never seem coarse or
neglected. just at present gloves are
being sold to meet the special needs of
a practical housekeeper-big, loose,
red gauntlets. that are for slipping on
when tender fingers must go in hot
water. There are white rubber ones.
too. for use when kneading dough; big
chamois skin ones to wear on days
when the family silver must be pol
ished or the brass andirons touched up.
The outside surface of these last acts
as polishing cloth on all metals, and
when the chores are thus effectually
handled with gloves and more or less
completed for the day, let the finger
mails be brushed in tepid soap and
water and manicured.
Nails that are tough, lusterless, dot
ted with white bruises, surrounded
with hangnails, or are painfully brittle
and ragged, tell simple story of neg
lect. One dollar and half will pur-
chase all the manicure tools and sup
plies necessary, and these will easily
last three years, SO no great expense is
involved. This estimate includes a
cleaner and file in one, pair of small
curved scissors, a large woodbacked
polisher, box of nail paste and one of
powder After nails have been brushed
in tepid suds and dried, use an orange
wood toothpick to gently push back
the skin about the sides and bottom.
With the scissors clip close off all the
hangnails and then cut every nail to
the shape you wish, beveling the cut
edges with the file. Rub ever so little
paste on every nail, dust pinch of
powder on the polisher and then polish
with an even stroke few times. Don't
let either paste or powder work into
the skin around the nails, and don't
manicure two mornings and neglect
the hands for four. Don't try to have
long nails or glittering ones. Be satls-
fed if they take on pink, healthy
glow, have white, rounded tips, and
grow as strong. yet aexible, as the
best whale bone.-St. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat.

are covered with mud and the milk en-
dangered-for the ordinary mixer is
not careful to get all the dust and dirt
off the cows udders before beginning
to milk. Bridge the pasture streams.
This can often be done by throwing
a couple of logs across and placing
planks crosswise upon them. Where
the stream is little too wide for this
the plan shown in the cut can be used
"a simple bit of engineering that can
be put up by anyone who can WELD an
ak. To make the sides less steep, put a
larger log crosswise under the lower
ends of the planks. Notch the side
logs so that the crosswise logs will
be retained by them without slipping.
Spike the planks to the logs and the
bridge will last for great many years.

MOVING FARM CROPS.
Their Primary Transportation Is the
Farmers Heaviest Tax.

Their Primary Transportation Is the
Farmers Heaviest Tax.
Speaking recently at meeting on
the subject of good roads at Newburg,
n. Y, Hon. G. E. Harrison (of the
United States department of agricult-
ure bureau of roads, said he had spent
50 years on a farm, in New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, and ten years in his pres
ent position; he was therefore, he
thought, qualified to speak The road
question had doomed up because ii had
been found that it takes third OF their
value to move the crops, the cost OF
primary transportation being very
large. On an average it costs 25 cents
per ton to pay for primary transporta-
ton. In 1895 it cost 1916, 10000 to move
produce, to pay for its primary trans
portation. Farms could not be put on
lines of railroads, and railroads Will not
60 into farms any more than they now
are Investigation had shown that 1t
costs 7cents per mile to move farm prod
ucts over country roads. Farmers do
not think of this, or if they do, they
figure that it does not really cost them
anything, as they do the hauling with
their own teams. The government
found that the cost of transportation
from the farm could be reduced two
thirds by having good roads, and had
issued "a bulletins giving information
on the subject. New Jersey was the first
to adopt the state aid law, and it is
economical, and produces the best re-
suits. That law was started by farmers.
The speaker gave the wheelmen credit,
but remarked dryly that they don't
move the national government. The
wheelmen knew nothing about the
state aid act. and it was passed without
their help and hardly their knowledge.
BEING asked about wide tires on good
roads, the speaker replied that the best
rolling any road could be given was
by wide-tire wagon. In New Jersey
men who use wide-tired wagons are
given a rebate of one dollar per wheel
per annum on their taxes.

1T is MAJOR PETERSON.
He Was Elected Major of the Third
Battalion.

The captains and heutenants of 10 COM
panies in the First Regiment, Maine Ma
tional Guard, met at the headquarters of
the Montgomery Guards yesterday after
noon to elect third major of the regi-
ment, which duty is made possible by the
addition of the new Westbrook company
to the regiment.
1t was intended to have held this cleo
ton several months ago, when the
Cleaves Rifles of Westbrook first came
into the regiment, but from time to time
there have been vacancies in several of
the companies, as it was deemed advis-
able to wait till there was full quota
of officers entitled to participate in the
election, the matter has been deferred till
the present time. Even now there are
two vacancies in the Augusta repr esenta-
ton here, as the election of ca plain and
first lieutenant in that company did not
take place in season for the successful
candidates to qualify and participate in
the balloting for major Capt. William O.
Peterson of Brunswick was elected on the
first ballot, he receiving 10 out of the
80 votes
The detailed vote is as follows: Capt.
William o. Peterson, Brunswick, Co.
K, 10; Capt. Michael J. Moriarty, Lew
iston, Co. 1, IA; Adjutant Davis of Port
land, 2, and one blank.
