To Have White Han6s.

Every woman can have pretty hands
no matter whether she be compelled
to do her own homework or not.
Washing the hands in little mustard
water and then rinsing them well is
excellent for cleansing them after
handling substances with an unpleas-
ant odor. A lemon bath, too, is de-
ightful luxury for both the hands and
face and gives the skin an enviable
short, the lemon is cure for nearly
all the ills that summer woman's
complexion is heir to, and she who has
not adopted it will do well to do so
immediately. 8.

Dainty Jeyveled Wells.

Wells with jewels caught in their
meshes are among the extravagances
of the seasons fashionable woman.
The jewels are, Of course, not of the
first water, but their effect is good and
their novelty allows them to be costly.
The jewel-studded wells are made o.
fine net and may or may not have a
border Of point lace. If lace is used the
jewels are traced through it's design; if
lace is Lot used the design of the veil
is picked out with tiny rhine; tones or
bits of imitation turquoises, emeralds

is because American goods have such
high reputation in all eastern markets.
They are universally recognized as the
best. 10 the orientals the mere fact
that an article is American is a guar
antee of it's worth and value. The con-
ditions which have described, that ex-
list to-day, are what we may expect to
have continued until treaties shall be
enacted which shall put an end to this
style of swindling and robbery.
ITO promote and extend our foreign
trade we should have keen business
men and practical artisans at the prin-
cipal points in the far east to learn
what the people want, to ascertain how
they make their goods, and the de-
signs and patterns of goods which are
most in demand in the different dis
tricts, and thus practically learn what
is necessary to meet the requirements.
I have always thought that perma-
nent exhibition of American products
should be established in China, to which
consignments of American-made goods
could be sent, and every article in which
there is profit for the manufacturer,
the merchant and the exporter dis
played for the instruction of the or
iental purchaser

HOME GYMNASTICS.
Some Simple Exercises That Bring
Grace and Are CerR.in to I'M
prove Ones CarriaSe.

Nowoman in ordinarily good physical
health should exercise for strength.
But every gymnastic instructor of the
best modern school will agree that if a
woman exercises for grace about the
best results will be attained.
In the new school of physical develop
ment no apparatus or implements what
ever are required, but the utmost use is
made of free gymnastics. The setting
up drill of the West Point cadets and
of the militia organizations is a good
basis for such drill, and the most i'm
portant of these exercises is the old
familiar one of STOPPING to touch the
floor without bending the knees. This

Hints to Wheelwomen.

Lady cyclists should always be pro-
vided with needle and thread in case
the dress comes to grief. A stitch in
time saves nine, and sometimes: a Nasty
fall. Matches are another thing that
should not be forgotten, and also an adj
dressed luggage label, and sufficient
cash in case rain comes on or i; one
wishes to return by rail. If going for a
long ride, a small waterproof cape
should always be carried. q gos

FINLAND.

S. Schandorph, a Danish poet, has
written a song to the Finnish people
in their present troubles. Their bravery
is lauded in high sounding tones and
their civilization is referred to as Sec
ond to none. ''That ignominious mes
sage" of the car is laid at the door of
his evil councillors, "a pack of manda-
rines." Defiance is out of the question
on the part of the Finlanders. The
only thing that is of any avail is 1.-The
patient, silent perseverance that en-
dureth forever" The poet finally calls
the attention of the Finnish people to
the passive yet successful resistance
which the Danes of South Upland are
making against the endeavors of the
Germans to Germanize them by main
force: ''Behold our modest Jutes and
then behave as them, ye Finnish men!
The body may be locked in chains-the
mind unclaimed forever reigns."
Some Finnish societies forwarded
their constitutions and bylaws to the
governor general for approval, and he
in turn sent them to the car. They
were returned with the following omi-
nous lines from the very hand of his
majesty: "Under the present circum-
stances I do not see any benefit to the
people in the existence of societies."
La Finlande is the name of a new
paper published in London. Its aim is
to advocate the cause of Finland and
it is printed in French.
The Finnish senate made appropria-
ton for new railroad from Meaborg

means of a bridge across the Neva
river.

Copenhagen has been almost flooded

The Danish seamen are contemplate
ing united move for the purpose of
raising their wages. P. Clausen, q
professor at a naval academy, has
warned against a strike in the follow
ing terms: ''Some of our most impor-
tant shipowners are already operating
their ships under foreign colors, Nor
wegian or Russian. and in case a strike
should occur, resulting in laying up
of vessels for lack of men, these ship
owners would change flags" Clausen
advises the sailors to learn their trade
to perfection and to practice economy,
and they will soon find it easy to ma 90
a living.
