natural Rock Carving.

One of the most beautiful natural
rock carvings in the world is the
southern cross on the island of Grand
Manan. in the Bay of Fundy. 1t
stands at the head OF a ledge of rocks
jutting into the bay at the southern
end of the Grand Manan. Its shape
is that of an almost perfect cross.

Care of the Finger Nails,

Great attention should be paid to
keeping the nails brushed at least twice
a day, not with a stiff brush, but with a
soft one, preferably camePs hair
brush, and the skin around the lower
part should be kept down by rubbing
with soft towel. In this way the
moons" are exposed, and these are in
dicative both of health and beauty. The
habit of running pointed instrument
around the nail under the flesh is not to
be advised, as it makes the skin tender
and, if the material of the instrument
is a cheap metal, sometimes brings on
blood poison. The sides of the nails
need clipping about once during the
week. If they become stained wash
them well with pure soap, and after
rinsing off the soap brush them with
lemon Juice

HEALTHFUL SLEEP.
1t Cannot BE Secured Unless the
Spring of the Bed Is Level and
Properly Adjusted.

The most important element in solv-
ing the question of how shall we get
the best and most refreshing sleep is
that of the bed. If your bed or mattress
it not right you will not get the best
and most from your hours of repose
Every one knows that it is bad to sleep
on your back, but it is even worse if the
bed is such that your stomach is as high
as your head and your feet are lower
than both, as must be the case on too
heavily wadded mattresses. On the
other hand, if the spring is too yield
ing you will find that the heavy parts
of the body make you lie in a kind of
hollow, whether you sleep on your back
or on your side. 1t is most unhealthful
to have your feet so high as they are in
this kind of bed, when you sleep on your
back, and if you try to sleep on your
side the spine is curved most uncom-
fortably and unhealthfully.
What then is to be done about it?
The spring of the bed must either be

THE LINEN COLLAR.
How to Transform IA SoiIed, Crumpled
One Into a Fresh One in
Five Minutes.

Rail against linen collars as one will
they hold a place for trim morning
or street toilets that has not yet been
neck lingerie exhibited in the shops
just now. To transform a soiled, crum-
pied collar into fresh, clean one may
be made the work of few moments
without so much as visit to kitchen or
laundry. A cheap little affair that fits
on the gas fixture or large lamp will
insure hot iron, and with the aid of
bit of white CASTLE soap and little
powdered French chalk, nice finish
may be given to the linen. The latter,
however, must not be confused with
the high polish no longer desirable.
When the linen has been washed and
starched in the usual way C'elastic"
or cold water starch does away with the
need of boiling water), place the collar
on the ironing board well stretched,
and just before applying the hot iron
rub first with a damp cloth rubbed
over with the soap, then with another
upon which the chalk has been sprin
killed.. This application and the ironing
is all to be done on the right side. Do
not attempt to dry thoroughly while
ironing as this turns linen yellow, but
finish by drying in the sun if there is
no heat convenient. The use at the last
of white CASTLE soap and French chalk
gives a coating to the linen that helps
much in the washing, as after a few
minutes soaking in tepid water the dirt
slips off without having penetrated the
whole. This hint will be found very
practical one, as it insures against the
ingrained dust and grease which is so
difficult to deal with in quick laundry
work. This does not, however, do away
with the need of thorough rinsing.-

LITTLE ROSE CRAIG.
Ellen Terry Is bringing Up He
Grnndchild to lie the Actress
of the Future.

Miss Ellen Terry, who is now playing
in this country with Sir Henry Irving,
is trying an interesting experiment. 1t
is her theory that girl can be SO edu-
Gated that she cannot fail to succeed
as an actress; that if a parent will be-
gin to teach his boy to act at the very
moment when he first initiates him
into the mysteries of the alphabet he
cannot fail to win fame and fortune on
the stage.
In other words, while she does not
entirely disregard the old theory that
men and women are born players, just
as they are born poets, she is of the
opinion that early training is even more
important, and she is now engaged il
making practical application of hel
theory.
No one who has seen Miss Ellen Terry
play the youthful Clarisse de Maulucon
would ever imagine that she was ,
grandmother, and yet such is the fact
Moreover, unlike many actresses, Miss
Terry is not ashamed of her age. She
is proud of the fact that she has been
able TO defy the ravages of the years
SO well, and she openly boasts of tn
little grandchild who is to be the great
actress to whom the world will pay its
honors when she, the grandmother,
shall have ceased to play her parts.
The name of the little child who is
being educated up to this ideal is Rose
Marie Craig, and she is the daughter
of Miss Terry's son, Gordon. AT pres
ent little Miss Craig is but four years
of age, but in spite of this, her training
has already commenced.
When she still lay in her cradle her
charming young grandmother dedi-
Gated her life to the stage, and her ia.
ther and mother are anXiously assist
ing Miss Terry in carrying out the ex-
pertinent. They have full confidence in
her theory. They believe that she can
do what she says she will do, and that
their little girl will yet be the greatest
actress the world has ever seen.
To begin with, the child shall be so
educated that she will have no self.
consciousness. To Miss Terry's mind
this is the gravest of all faults, and Is
fatal to the success of man or woman
on the stage. Already she is learning
to have confidence in herself, and on
her seventh birthday she will make her
bow to the public.
Miss Terry believes that the period
of self-consciousness begins soon after

RIGHT AND WRONG POSITIONS.

made in several pieces, or be made up of
spiral springs, so that all parts are in
dependent of one another, and the
springs at the center are stronger than
those at the head and foot because they
have more weight to support. In this
way it becomes possible for the tired
man or woman to obtain the greatest
possible amount of benefit from the
hours devoted to sleep. If they will
use a moderately hard mattress, of
cotton or hair, never of feathers, and
not too high pillow, seeing that when
they are in bed the body is not curled
up in knot by the poor springs and
that the feet and back are in almost
straight line, the repose gained while
lying either on the right or left side
will prove refreshing and healthful.-

into the cabin, and with an apology to the

me, will the lad live?
CAY, like as not if he has the pluck" he
snapped back, eyeing and lodging the muz-
zle of the fircarm. Faith, I'll do my best
if ye will honor my calling and play that
damn thing to some other point. Have ye
murdered all but myself"
"Nay, ye skewer," / answered, almost
amused by his fear and amazed at the way
it had overcome the fumes of the liquor in
him. 81 but gave the crew rest from duty;
it is their watch below, and if We dare call
me murderer for taking and defending my
own, I'll act the part in truth"
"By me sowl, ye are the devil himself"
he calculated, but | cut him short.
"Whatee er / am, ye are my prisoner. Now
take your choice bebwixt irons and parole;
the hold or this cabin. Speak fast! have
business on hand"
"a prisoner only, is it," he exclaimed
quickly, sitting bolt upright and raising his
hand aloft. Then, on the honor of an
Irish gentleman, / take oath not to sneak
from ye or bear arms" he answered, as
though relieved by the terms l offered.
"And bde in the cabin until allowed the

That same," he answered.
"And care for the wounded lad?"
"Oh, ay! oh, ay! an now"

So saying, picked up the bottle and took
a long draught of what proved to be good
whisky. Twas well-earned and sorely
needed dram, but mighty uncivil way of
taking it, inasmuch as had just cut him off
his own grog. The act may have been the
means of tanning the spark of malice held in
his nature-a spark that glowed, smoldered,
and burst into flame when l least expected.
The cunning in his brain made up for the
lack of sinews in his body, for when turned
from locking up the bottle and sliding the
key into my pocket, | noticed malevolence
in his face; but he shifted his eye from me,
and getting to his feet with an effort,
walked unsteadily across the cabin and bent
over Ames.

Little Miss Craig is to be given

The next two years of the child's Ii

as possible she will be upon the stage
during the progress of the plays. AT
first she will be given no lines, but she
will have her place and she will be eX-
pected to fill it creditably. She will
also be permitted to play about in the
wings. She will become well acquainted
with the uses of scenery and drops.
She will learn all about wigs and paints.
Costumes will become an old story to
her.
During this time no one will be al
lowed to fatter her. Judicious praise
may be given, but little of it, and she
will be taught to believe that the only
way to do a thing is to do it well.
While she is undergoing this training,
however, her physical training will not
be neglected. She will have plenty of
fresh country air. She will play in
the fields. She will wear loose clothing.
Everything will be done to make her
perfect specimen of healthy woman

the stage, she will be surrounded by
the best of people only.
When little Miss Craig is nine years
