Look to Your little Finger.

The fact that the hand looks shap-
lier aud more graceful when the mid
die and third fingers are slightly curved
away from the index and little finger
is shown by the models in the glove
store windows, and while it is affecta-
ton to hold the hands in such posi-
ton, yet this exercise. to make the
pose natural, should be practiced.
Some one has said somewhere that
the number of cultured generations
back of an individual may be judged
by the degree of curve in the little
finger. Observation will prove this
more or less true. When one seas a
person holding a glass OF cup with
the little finger thrust out and curved
until it resembles hook, little in
vestigation will almost invariably
show that the desire for culture has
just awakened in that particular fam
ily, and in its newness is somewhat
overstepping the mark. Affectation is
sign of lack of breeding.
Some of the old painters understood
hands to perfection. Long, rounded
hands, with slightly curved fingers
and gently bent wrists, are character
istic of the women whose beauty they
have made memorable. Sometimes,
perhaps, the beautiful hands were
those of some other model than the
pictured one; but the painters knew
that beautiful hands were as. neces-
sary as beautiful faces in order to
make Q harmonious picture.

syk:Gontairs 1Iore- TiiIngs Than Any Other
T. Gfty-Dust Enough for Food.
Only by degrees are the marvellous
qualities Of our London atmosphere
becoming known. No city in the
world Gun boast such peculiar aerial
composition as that which the inhabi-
tants of the metropolis have served to
them daily and nightly, without money
and without price-for neither the
government, county council nor ves-
tries have yet attempted to tax the
highly nutritive air which we breathe.
Most people think that our atmos.
phere consists of practically nothing.
Quite mistake. 1t is both meat aud
drink. A paper contributed to the
ssTransactions" OF the British Insti-
,tute of Preventive Medicine states
that even in suburb the dust. parti-
cles number 90, 900 per- cubic cent time
to in the open air, md $4,000 in a
quiet room; while in the city-O for
tunatos minimum the totals per cubic
centimeter were 500, GOO when taken
from roof, 10000 in a court, and
about 400, 900 in room. In other
words, the air of the square mile is
900 per cent. thicker than in the
suburbs, which is in accord with tho
general experience that foss are both
more dense and more frequent over
the centre than in the outskirts. But
what is especially interesting is to
learn that although dust is the great
carrier of micro-organisms, there
is only one of these articles per 49,
600, 900 atoms OF dust. Thus it is
calculated a man could live in the
metropolis for several years and only
absorb 25,OOO,OOO microbes into his
system from the mir, OF about the
same number as he drinks in half a
pint of unboiled milk. Of course,
there are other serious objections to
dust; but it is something to know
that there is only one microbe to
many millions of notes. London Tel

Surgery With n Magnet.

A physician of Canal Dover has
Just performed an extraordinary surg
ical operation here by means of elec-
tricity.
A. girl of five years of age
while romping on the floor acciden-
tally run an ordinary sewing needle
into her leg at the right knee joint.
In attempting to pull it out the father
broke off the bit Of steel, leaving more
than half of it imbedded in the flesh,
and when she was taken to the doctor
repeated probing failed to locate the
fragment of needle. At the latter's
suggestion the child was taken to the
power house of the local electric COM
pany and placed on the dynamo in
such q manner that the right knee
joint pressed against powerful mag
net of 125 horse power. The little
tot was kept almost continuously in
this position for eight hours. The
treatment was heroic, but the joint had
become SO painful and swollen that the
magnet treatment was resorted to in
the extremity of saving the limb.
This powerful force failed to draw the
needle to the surface, and smaller
magnet connected with the dynamo
md having it's full force was made in
such form that it could be inserted
in an incision at the Joint. The baby
was chloroformed, the leg laid open
with the knife, and the magnet intro
duced. When it was withdrawn the
troublesome bit of steel clung to it,
and the experiment was a success

people will often follow of bending
their heads in order to catch each

smallest intervals Of sound can be
much better distinguished with one
ear than with both. Thus the separ.

HOW Earles Fish.

Down among the oaks aud other
timber that lines the shores of Merry
Meeting bay colony of eagles has
lived for generations. During the
summer months they subsist largely
on fish. The mode of procuring them
is very ingenious. Most any day they
may be seen perched upon convent
ent stump or bough near the waters
edge like gray, grim sentinels silently
waiting for something to turn up.
That something is q fshawk, and
when he makes his appearance and
slowly circles around in search of his
prey the eagle eye is following him,
and when at last he succeedsin bring
ing up fish the eagle starts in pur-
suit. Being swift of wing, he soon
overtakes the hawk, who makes slight
effort to get away, but without avail.
The eagle scales under the hawk, who
by this time becomes so thoroughly
frightened that it drops the fish, which
is easily caught in the talons of the
eagle, who flies swiftly to the shore
and devours the stolea meal, s~Kelle.

Antarctic Harrs.

The first Antarctic ice passed in
several years by vessels bound to the
United States is reported by Captain
Paude, of the Norwegian ship Prince
Edward, which arrived at this port re-
Gently from Carrizal, Chile, with man-
ganese ore. Between Cape Horn and
the Falkland Islands the bergs ap-
peured in the distance like mountain
peaks, and for time it was thought
that land was near. The error was
not discovered until the hugo masses
began to roll with the sea, showing
that they were ice which had been
broken away from some far distant, and
perhaps unknown shore. The An
tarctic ice is different from the Arctic
drift, being harder and of a deeper
blue in color 1t is slower in melting.
Both bergs seen by Captain Paude
were in the direct path of vessels
rounding Cape Horn.-Philadelphla

by brick and mortar, to get glimpse

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
IA TALK WITH MRS. prNKHAM.l

A woman with the blues is very un-
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
the blues," nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs OF
generation.
1t is source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense, and is the counsel of a
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs. F. S. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation OF the
womb, and this spring, being in such
weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged oy friends, Iwrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for a short time,
that terrible flow stopped

have had for the past ten years. I
wish to say to all distressed, suffer-
ng women, dc not suffer longer, when
there is one so kind and willing to
aid you."

The Matter of Height.

If you are tall and slender how well
you look in those Is founced skirts,
each one edged with the narrowest Of
black velvet. They all dip little
toward the front, and when "made
up" in white gauze or White silk or
Candle they are looked upon as some
thing smarter than if built of coiors,
because the craze for black aud white
is not yet on the wane. Taking it for
granted that your choice is white, with
black for trimming, your bodice must
be gathered into black belt and your
neck be cut out in such pretty V
back and front; the two narrow flounces
matching the skirt will trim it well
with full ruching of tulle for heading,
the whole giving you such fine width
across the shoulders and showing off
the lovely lines of your neck and the
graceful pose OF the head. Your arms
are rather too long and slender un-
covered, but seen through the trans
parent material in mousquetaire shir-
rings they are faultless. As you walk
across the room your black gauze sash
with its long plisse ends in the back
and its bunch of short loops, with a
big diamond buckle in the middle, is
really quite perfect touch. Your
golden hair, raised up high on the top
of your head, adds to your height and
you excel in the way you have it
waved, and the knot at the top, to-
gether with just the right kind of
short, loose curls, arranged so becom-
;ngly on your brow. Of course you
wear your pearls-nobody's neck is
dressed without them-and your jew
eled ornaments exceedingly choice,
and you never overdo the matter

Over in Japan. the people never have
dared to build their houses or stores

three stories high. If they did the

would tumble them all down. And yet
Japan has recently made long strides

shake it down. No doubt when it is
completed it will be remarkable sight

After All These Years.

The falling of barn door on an
aged minister Mt Macedon Centre, New
York, a few weeks ago, has brought to
light information which Canisteo
couple have for nearly half century
tried to gain, and the accident with
the barn door has played one of the
most important parts Of their lives.
Forty.seven years ago there were
married in Penn Yam Mr.. and Mrs. V.
Reimann. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. Mr.. Kellogg. Ger
ti6cates were not granted in those
days unless asked for, and although
the couple asked for a certificate, they
never got it, as it was neglected by
the couple, and finally forgotten by
the couple, who moved to Canisteo,
where they now reside.
subsequently the Rev. Mr.. Kellogg
moved from Penn Van and all trace of
him was lost. Ever since that time
Mr..and Mrs. Reimann have been look
ing for the minister who made them
as one, but failed to leave written
proof to that effect. Recently they
read an account in a Buffalo paper Of
barn door falling on an aged minis
ter named Kellogg, aged eighty-four
years, of Macedon Centre. The couple
talked the matter over and decided he
must be the same minister who had
married them. An examination OF
Mr.. Kelloggs records was asked for
and made. Their theory was correct,
and they found that forty-seven years
ago the records announced that they
we're made man and wife. The wit
nesses of the marriage were W. L.
Sutton and sister, of Hornellsville,
N. Y, and as they are still living, the
certificate of forty-seven years stand
ing has been duly signed and received
by Mr.. and Mrs. Reimann, who have
placed it in q frame on the wall OF
| their home.
