BEAUTIFYING THE HAND.
Simple Exercises That Will Increase
Its Symmetry, Appearance
and Strength. .

To increase the strength, symmetry
and incidentally the beauty of the
hand, devote ten minutes before you go
to bed to muscle bending and stretch
ing. Extend both arms at right angles
to the body, the backs of the hands
turned upward. In this position the
hand is to be bent upward, downward
and sideways. With fingers first to-
gether and then extended and without
moving the arm, bend the hands up
ward, from the wrist as far as possible,
hen back to the original position, then
downward as far as possible. For the
sideways movement bend alternately
toward the thumb side and the little
finger side. Continue this swinging of
the hands upward, downward and side
ways for some minutes.
Hand rotation next follows. In this
the arms are held as for the bending
and stretching exercises. With even
and constant movement the hand per-
forms all the previous motions, that is,
from the bending position upward into
the bending position sideways, down
ward, sideways in the opposite direc-
ton, and so on; first the fingers are held
together and then extended.
Finger bending and stretching comes
next. With arms extended the fingers
are slowly but vigorously bent enough
to form a fist, and are then again
open fOrcibly.
For finger spreading, hold the tips Of
the fingers apart, with arms extended
as before, and perfectly straight. Aft
er the spread the extended fingers are
brought together again, or are tightly
c~lenched, this latter action increasing
the effect of the exercise. Both the
muscles of the hand and of the forearm
are exercised by these movements, an6
after due time if there is not a notice
able gain in suppleness of wrist, con-
tour of arm and shapelinesG of the
hand there is only one reason for it,
you are looking for results a little too

durable fastening may be made as fol-
lows:
Cut from a piece of canton flannel or
chamois a disc ten inches long, Make
a large knot in the end of the cord.
Gather the flannel OF channels about
the ball and knot. Tie firmly by bind
ing the edges of the disc close to the
cord above the knot. Paint black cir
Gle one inch wide six feet from the base
of the pole.
Bore a hole three inches from the top
of the pole; push the end of the cord
through and then knot it. This makes
much the best fastening.
To play: Toss up to see which player
shall have the choice of court. The
courts consist of half the circle about
the pole. If the winner of the toss pre-
fer he may forfeit the choice of court
and choose in which direction he will
wind the ball.
After deciding this point the two
players take position in their re-
spective courts. ION no account must
either make an off-side play by tres
passing into the court of an opponent.)
The player to whom has fallen the
choice of direction now begins the
game by knocking the ball around the
pole in either direction he may de-
sire.
His object is to continue the play IN
til<the cord is entirely wound round the
pole. His opponents play is to, if pos
sible, interrupt this and start the ball
in the opposite direction. The last de-
Cisive turn of the cord which brings the
ball against the pole must be above the
black ring mentioned.
If a player strike the cord above the
ball, and so winds it around his racket
and stops it altogether, his opponent is
allowed a free serve.-Boston Globe

NOsEBLEED.
Some Facts That Everyone Should
Know About a Common
Addiction.

NosebIeed is SO common in childhood
that little account is ordinarily mads
of it. Where it occurs repeatedly with
out apparent provocatiOn, however, eff
fort should be made not only to check
the immediate attack, but to ascertain
the cause of the trouble. 1t is well
Known, says the Medical Journal, that

and other conditions affected by, OF

PredispOse to nosebleedB and consider
able anxiety is frequently felt lest the
nosebleed of childhood may be the re-
suit of serious constitutional causes.
Most commonly the cause is local
The best means of checking the inn
mediate attack is pressure with the
finger on the upper lip, just beneath
the nostriIs. A small pad of absorb
emit cotton OF a piece of handkerchief
may be placed inside the lip and tight
ly pressed against the gum from with
out, thus COMPRISING the two small
arteries Of the upper lip that supply
the nose. These can ordinarily be felt
p~ulsating in this locality.
If the bleeding is Profuse or pro-
longed, the child should be placed in
a restful position, but with the head
elevated, while ice may be held to the
forehead or the back of the neck. To
decrease still further the blood pres
sure within the vessels Of the nose a
mustard fOOtbath is of service.
In the meantime, blowing the nose
must be avoided Plugging the n~ostrils
both in front and back is a last resort
to keep the sufferer from actual peril.
The p~redisposing causes of nosebleed
are, as has been said, commonly local.
Careful examination of the nose by the
physician is, therefore, always neces-
sary in recurrent attacks. Diseased
areas In the o are usually found, in
which the vessels are spOngy and I'M
naturally turgid.
The depression Of the child's health
caused by repeated attacks of nose
bleed not infrequently requires atten-
ton. If the trouble is due to sys+emat-
10 weakness, attention is to be espe-
cially directed to an improvement Of
the general condition: while If the
lungs are themselves weak, repeated at
tacks of nosebleed are sometimes indf-
cations of the need Of a che=ge of eli

Even if a country garden is denied

who own town houses seldom leave
the city before the middle of June,
returning by the middle of Septem-
Der, and as the head and bread-winner
of the family practically stays all
summe in town, it is a wonder that
these back yards are not generally
made beautiful by a little care and
attention, especially Is the dining
room windows are apt to overlook
the Enclosure. Not infrequently there
is either a small porch or balcony,
where it would be pleasant to sit if
the outlook were attractive.
