TO BEAUTIFY THE hands.
simple Exercises That VIII Speedily
Increase Their strength and
Symmetry.

To Increase the strength, symmetry
and incidentally the beauty of the
hand. devote ten minutes before you
90 TO bed 10 muscle bending and
stretching. These exercises can be
taken by my lady at her ease, seated
in her most luxurious chair before her
fire of blazing logs.
Extend both arms at right angles 10
the body, the backs of the hands turned
upward. In this position the hand is to
be bent upward. downward and side
ways. With fingers first together and
then extended and without moving the
arm, bend the hands upward, from the
wrist, as far as possible, In the direc-
tion of the backs of the hands, then in
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 the swinging Of the hands up
ward. downward and sideways 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 fin
gers are slowly but vigorously bent
enough to form a fist, and are then
opened forcibly.
For finger spreading, hold the tips
of the fingers apart, with arms extend
ed as before, and perfectly straight.
After the spread, the extended fingers
are brought together again, or are
tightly clenched, this latter action in
creasing the effect Of the exercise. Both
the muscles OF the hand and of the
forearm are exercised by these move
ments, and after due time, If there is
not noticeable gain in the supple
ness Of the wrist, contour of arm and
shapeliness Of the hand, there is only
one reason for it-you are looking for
results little too soon. Persevere and
still persevere, pondering upon such
wise saws as "Rome was not built in a
day."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

A FARMERS STORY.
Tne Effect of Bad Roads on Country
Life Is Disheartening In More
Ways Than one.

Good roads bring the farm close 10
the city line. This is what farmer
In Lincoln county, Wis, has to say
about the effect of bad roads: The
farmers in the town Of Russell can
not get to Merrill with load OF hay
or a load Of potatoes-the produce
they get their money from-and by
not being able TO market their prod
uce they are compelled TO get along
without clover seed, timothy seed,
some choice seed barley or spring
wheat. or some new variety Of farm
seed that may be very profitable to
them If they could get their truck to
market when there is a market value
on IL. There have been number OF
new settlers TO start in this spring, ana
while these parties were moving in 1t
was very common 20 see one team get
mired and lie down. The first team
that happened to come along would
hitch on 10 the team and draw them
ont. and both teams draw the wagon
through by hitching it TO a long chain,
allowing the horses TO get on solid
ground. 1t takes two days 10 make
a trip Of IS miles, and 1900 pounds
Is a big Load for a good team; so by
the time the farmer gets home he has
been to more expense than the load
brings In the market. He has there
fore given away his load and worked
himself and team for two days for
nothinp"

NEW WRINKLE IN BEGGING.
An Exceedingly smooth Individual
Who Finds Chicago business

He came into the office with a stride
that one learns TO expect in people of
consequence. 1T was easy to infer that
he would not have tiptoed into the pres
ence of the president of the United
States, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
"Ah, Mr.. Jones?" he inquired, with a
Chesterfieldian bow.
That's my name" granted the man
at the desk, who made no pretcnsions
to style and whose time was worth
money.
Here is my card" said the stranger,
laying down a slightly soiled paste
board.
81 am thinking of locating publish
ing plant here" he remarked, as he
helped himself to a chair, "and want
your advice on it,"
This was the beginning of it, and for
ten minutes the distinguished publish
er sat with his feet on the register and
expounded his pl for investing hun
dreds of thousan' of dollars. lie incl
dentally smoked one of the editors 25-
cent cigars. The stranger knew all the
old-timers in newspaperdom appar-
emily and his "reminiscences were not
so very bad.
"Well, / mustn't keep you from your
work any longer the visitor said at
last, as he rose to go. I-er-Mr. Jones.
the fact is, / am without small change
nothing less than 500 bill-have to
get out to the South side-can you
kindly loan me a dime?'
Jones mechanically fished a dime
from his pocket, the stranger received
1t with bow and a smile of thanks,
and hurried out.
"Well, II must be behind the
times" murmured Jones, as he looked
at the card. This is a new wrinkle in
begging"
Mr.. Jones later found that eight of
his friends had contributed dime the
same day under precisely similar con-
ditions.

LESSON FROM MARYLAND.
An Excellent Presentation OF the
Economy Effected by the Con-
struction of Good Roads.

A report recently made by the high
way division of the Maryland state
geological survey affords an excellent
presentation of the economy effected
by the construction Of good roads. The
report shows that the cost of building
extensive roads is exceedingly small
compared with the saving effected by
the reduced cost of transportation.
The main country roads of the state
are 1900 miles in length, and the cost
of thoroughly improving these roads
being placed at $4,000 a mile, which will
provide the best kind OF roads, the
total expense 10 the state would be
$1,000 900. A computation Is made OF
the cost of hauling freight from the
farms TO the markets. The report
states that "the average distance each
ton of freight is hauled to or from the
Maryland farm is 6.7 miles; the aver
age cost is % cents a mile per ton, or
Si.74 q ton for the whole haul. There
are about 100000 acres of farm land
In Maryland, and there is about one
ton of freight hauled annually per
acre to or from each farm. The total
cost, therefore, of the transportation
is over Ss,5OO,oO0 a year. The cost OF
hauling in New Jersey has been re-
duced one-half since the roads were
improved. Therefore, by improving
Maryland roads one-half of this sum
could be saved"
This calculation makes It appear
that the construction of good roads
would effect an annual saving TO the
Maryland farmers of over S4,000,0oo
every year, whereas the total cost OF
building 1900 miles Of improved roads
would be but s6,OOO,oO0. The returns
on this investment would be tremen-
dous. This calculation as made In
Maryland applies equally well to Wis
consin and other states. The money
put in good roads pays enormous

MY FATHERS HOUSE.

Ny Fathers House not made with hands
Above the empyrean stands:
Its esplanade's the Milky Way
Where up and down the angels stray;

With Saturn. Jupiter and Mars,
It's borders girt with crystal seas;
Its porticos the Pleiades;
OF fairest azure IS its dome.
SO splendid is my Fathers HOniel
Ny Fathers House IS also here
In this familiar lower sphere
For Nature with its smiling grace
Is but the lighting Of His face.
Confirmed is this divine belief
BY every gently stirring leaf,

Which bears "a thought Of God to me;
The rising of each newborn day

But I must have Him nearer stil

For Him my inmost soul doth cry,

gle horse should pull this leyeler with
out difficulty, but, of course, one long

old plow or cultivator handles can be-
utilized for this leveler while the

LITTLE DOLLMAKERS.
when Hardly More Than
Babies.

Over in Germany there are 5000 chill
dren in one district alone who are EN-
ployed to dress dolls and help in the
manufacture of various kinds of toys
says the Philadelphia Record. All the
children who do this work are under l.
years of age. They are taught the art
of dressing a doll at the tender age OF
four. At the same time. according TO
the compulsory education law. they are
obliged to go TO kindergarten school
for at least one year, and that term is
devoted TO such things as making dolls
and dressing them-doing everything
in fact, except molding the heads, which
is done by men expert at the business
After that the German children have
three or four years of study, when they
are allowed to go into the doll or toy
factories to add to the daily income oi
the family to the extent of few cents
a day.
The children who go to the kinder
garten have lots Of fun making clothes
for the dollies, and so fond do they get
of the little wax-faced creatures that
they are often sore at heart when the
matron comes around to collect then
all to be sent abroad.

COAL MINES IN INDIA.
No Danger of Fire Damp Exists I'm
Any of the Principal Pits of
That Country.

Coal is widely distributed through
out India, except in Bombay and Sind,
the northwest provinces, and Oudh.
Rajputana and Mysore. where the
product is either scantily distributed
or entirely absent. The seams in Ben
gal and Assam are frequently from 80
and so feet TO as much as $50 feet in
thickness. The pits are often of con-
siderable depth. At present the deep
est appears to be about 700 feet. In
many cases the working of the seams
leads to the escape of little or no fire
damp. so that the miners are able to
work with naked lights. At the pres
ent time Bengal produces more than
three-fourths of the coal mined I'm IN
dia. Indian coal varies much in COM
position and quality. Most of II Is
quite suitable for ordinary purposes.
while some of the samples, e. e.. GER
tain of these from Bengal and central
India, are of excellent quality, equal
TO that of the best British Goals.
The fixed carbon of the Bengal coal
ranges between 80 and 60 per cent, ano
the calorific value exceeds 5000 caiories
equal to about ten British thermal
units-while the ash often does not
much exceed ind in some instances
falls below ten per cent. and the sui
phur frequently present in but very
small proportion.
A great deal of the Bengal coal is
serviceable steam coal. Many samples
cake well and contain little sulphur,
and the coke is therefore suitable for
iron smelling.

PRINTED PANNE VELVET.
Effective Material for Handsome He
ception Gowns for the
Season.

Printed panne velvet is the latest ma
terial to be used for princess recep-
tion gowns, and in peacock greens and
blues was truly moyenage in effect.
The scant long train dragged heavily,
and the only trimming was panel OF
rich ecru guipure over cloth OF gold,
which covered the front and formed
a very deep and wide yoke, and also the
choker and sleeve tops. It's wearer car
ried a very large bunch Of violets, and
her turban of peacock breast feathers.
with a large gold buckle as the only
trimming, was certainly beautiful. A
white lace veil was tied about it with
careless grace, as though its useful
ness was of primary Importance.
As final novelty, this gown
shows the latest use to which stitchings
are put, stitchings done so perfectly
as to direction and effect that they
look like pcnned lines. The gown was
an afternoon one, of the tailor variety,
in pale tabac brown, and was fairly
covered with clusters of stitchings in
several colors and in both directions,
making a delicate plaid over the whole
skirt. which was of the one-seam va
riety. The bolero was of plain cloth,
plated on the sides OF the front. where
il was tucked down under belt OF
black satin with a gold buckle. The
stitchings plaided a quaint shoulder
collar and cuffs on the tight cloth
sleeves, while black velvet cravat gave
a smart touch to the throat. Is not
the art of stitching in this case carried
to the point Of perfection?-St. Louis
Republic.
