skin, and this with very little troubl1
almost all of us can attain.
The first thing necessary for good
complexion is good digestion; indeed,
there are few human ills that cannot be
laid at the door of badly-working
liver To remedy this one must Of
course apply to ones doctor. Next to
this comes cleanliness. Everyone
should take warm bath once a day.
Not jump in the tub and then CUT again,
but take a scrubbing with first quality
of soap. Afterward one should sponge
off with cold water; but there is no dam
ger anyway of catching cold, if one does
not go out for an hour. This rubbing
opens the pores and let's out all over the
body many imp,~ities which otherwise
would find a vent through the face.
The face itself should be washed night
and morning, good soap, and oat or
corn meal. After this rub gently but
firmly into the skin for about five min
utes little cold cream, and the soften
ing effect of this treatment is almost
amazing. If one could wear flannel
mask for an hour or two during the
"a, so the skin would become very warm,
it would be of great benefit. Last, but
by no means least, avoid carefully
catching cold or sitting in damp shoes,
clothes or draughts.
Strange as it may seem to the cas-
ual observer. one of the greatest skin
beautifers is an equal temper and a
regular life. / have seldom seeE a
| Quaker or woman belonging to re-
| ligious order without a good skin,
often to the age of so; and am firm
| ~ convinced that it is entirely due to
the equable, passive lives they lead.
| We can't all be Quakers or Sisters OF
Mercy, but we can get up, walk, take
our baths and eat our meals at regular
times, and this rule, if followed with
the other suggestions / have made,
| is bound to have a most identifying
effect on the slxin.-Amy E. Hull, In

GOOD WINTER RATION.

Green Cut hone Il n Good subsssseto
for Worms and Insects.
Now that the supply of bugs In tho
fields is inaccessible, fowls must be pro-
vided with substitute which will form
a meat ration. That meat OF some sort
is necessary for both old and young
stock is a generally-accepted TACT.
There is nothing in our opinion which
so thoroughly fills this want as green
cut bone. With the invention OF the
modern green bone cutters the problem
of feeding this most excellent meat ra-.
ton is easily solved. Different breeders
have different ideas as to the manner
of feeding. We advise three times q
week, and little at first until the hensl
become used to it. Fed as separate RAJ
tion it gives better results than If mixed
with other foods. In this way we can
easily control its consumption, and it
answers the purpose of meat ration
more thoroughly. 1t is good for both
old and young stock. and especially val
liable for growing cockerels. AS COM
pared with other food. we consider it
very cheap. The material, the green
bones, can be had for an average Of
half cent pound in any butcher
shop. Cutting them up is matter OF
but little time and labor, depending
upon the number Of hens to be fed. The
best bones to bug and which cut the
best are ribs. These. if chopped into
small pieces an inch or two long, will
fit the machine and are easily cut up the
required size.
There is nothing in modern poultry
culture that has gained SO firm hold
among the fanciers and breeders as
green cut bone. That it is not used as
much as it should be we are convinced.
A few hesitate to use it because of the
cost of the machine, but if one stops TO
consider that this expense can easily be
made in the increased egg yield We
think this objection will be overruled.
From experiments in medt Of different
kinds, both cooked and raw, we are in
clined more to the latter. Raw meat
is a more natural substitute for bugs,
worms and insects. Fowls crave for
raw material and devour it more raven
ously. Green cut bone is raw meat RAJ
ton. 1t is cheap, it is beneficial in
many ways, both as food and tonic.
1t is easily obtained and easily fed, and
is a paying ment.-Country Gem

and tack it all around with fine tacks
driven an inch apart; after trimming
off the ragged edges, put a stiff
gimp around the edge, and fasten it in

The appearance OF the tack heads and

LIVELY RUSSIAN GAME.
1t Has an UnpronounceabIeN Name, Blu
1t Looks Like Our Zip Cat.v

1t Looks Like Our "TiD Cat"
p. Kitty Kondacheff writes of "Some
Russian Games" in ST. Nicholas. One
of them, bearing the name ''Tchijick, y
is thus described:
The game is like your game "tip
cat" The word Tchijick, properly
translated, means "finch;" and whether
the game is so called on account of the
constant hopping of one of the players,
or from the way in which the wooden
'cone" is made to jump up and fly, is
not known. The players may amount
to any number, but five or six is the best
combination, so as not to keep the
otbers waiting 100 long while the
STRIKER" and hopper as ! will call
them, are at work. A circle of about six
feet in diameter is traced on the ground,
in the center of which is deposited the
so-called tchijick, or finch, a round stick
of wood, six inches long, having each
end shaped something like cone. 1t
is either placed across small hollow
in the ground, or with one end resting
on bit of stick or stone an inch or two
high.
The players, armed with short, stout
sticks, then draw lots SO as to determine
By chance who is to begin the first serv-
ice, and who is to do the hopping; the
others range themselves in order
around the circle, the striker taking his
place near the finch The signal given,
the striker serves the finch-that is, he
gives it a smart rap with his stick over
one end, SO as to make it jump high up
and while in midair follows this with
one or more sharp raps, sending it as
far out of the circle as possible-the
farther the better. The hopper then
sets off, and must arrive at the exact
place where the finch falls, hopping
along on one foot. Lifting it up from
the ground, he must send it back, with
the aid of his stick, into the circle again.
If it fall on the line, 1t is reckoned in.
Should he fail in doing this or in arriv-
ing safely on one foot to where the
finch lies and back to his place agairt,
he remains hopper to the next service.
If, however. he passes both ordeals
safely, he takes his place among the
players again, while the striker turns
hopper, the boy next in order taking his
! place.
The score is reckoned in the follow
ing way: A certain number is fixed
| upon previous to beginning the game
say, rs. Each time the striker hits the
finch he scores one. Now, good players
manage to touch it several times while
in midair, short, jerky cuts from the
wrist following swiftly on each other;
sometimes as many as five raps are
given in quick succession, the striker
always remaining within the limits OF
the circle. He scores the number OF
raps given, and the player who first
reaches the number previously agreed
upon wins. The striker is thus changed
after each service, while the hopper, m.
less he has good muscles and sure aim
often has to go through the hopping
process during many turns, thereby
sometimes missing his own turn OF
serving. If the stakes are nuts, candy
or anything of that sort, then each boy
loses to the winner as many as are
wanting In his score to make up the rs

! thickness, planed on all sides; also two
pieces IA inches long and OF the same
width and thickness as the long strips.
These are for the feet, while the other
pieces are to form the frame. In two OF
the long strips cut laps as shown in Fig.
1. A. AT the ends of the other two,
which are cut to length of 40 inches,
make lap cuts as shown at b. Secure
these joints with glue and screws, so
that firm union will be the result, and
at the bottom of each leg cut lennon,
as shown at c. In the center of the
foot pieces cut mortise, as shown at ID.
The lemons can be cut with chisel
and saw, while the mortise should be
made with large bit and afterwards
trimmed square with sharp chisel.
Cut the parts accurately, SO that
they will fit snugly and make good
joint with glue. Then long steel-wire
nail can be driven through the edge of
the foot-piece into the lennon, and into
the other edge of the bottom piece.
This nail--or long slim screw, if you
prefer-will give much additional
strength to the union.
Have a blacksmith make four scroll
brace-irons, curved at the ends and
bent after the shape shown in E, which
is side view of a single brace. Where
the dotted lines are drawn, quarter
inch holes should betbored to receive
the screws that will fasten it to the
woodwork. These braces should be
made of tire iron one inch and half
in width and one-eighth of an inch in
thickness.

white wood, or birch, and it is thought
| desirable to stain it before vanishing,
a suitable stain can readily be OBJ
