unchanged to 3 points lower Up to
midday there was little variation in
values, but in mid-afternoon feeling of

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

To increase the strength. symmetry
and incidentally the beauty of the
hand. devote ten minutes before you go
10 bed to muscle bending and stretch
ing. Extend both arms at right angles
to the body, the backs of the hands
turned upward. Ia 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 a possible,
then 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-
tion, 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 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
clenched, this latter action increasing
the effect of the exercise. Both the
muscles of the hand and of the forearm
are exercised by these movements, and
after due time if there is not a notice
able gain in suppleness of wrist, con-
tour of arm and shapeliness of the
hand there is only one reason for it.
you are looking for results a little too
soon.--N. y. Sun.

PRETTY BACK YARDS.

out nm Attractive Spot Resem-
bling IA Real Garden.

Even if country garden is denied
us, it is possible to obtain much pleas
ure with what we possess, and it is
surprising that the back yards of city
houses are the forlorn, neglected
places that they generally are, at
best being only square grass plot
utilized for dnying clothes, and
narrow border planted with a few
struggling perennials. If there are
children in the family sometimes
abortive attempts are made at flow
er bed. AS the majority of people
who own town houses seldom leave
the city before the middle of June,
returning by the middle of Septem-
ber, and as the head and bread-winner
of the family practically stays all
summer in town, it is wonder that
these back yards are not generally
made beautiful by little care and
attention, especially as the dining
room windows are apt to overlook
the Enclosure. Not infrequently there
is either small porch or balcony,
where it would be pleasant to sit if
the outlook were attractive.

is an elongated square 25 feet wide.
This might, if properly utilized, con-

leave the center space free, If there
is an even brick wall the task of rem

SIZE OF DRAIN TILE.
Nothing Smaller Than Four Inches
should lie Used for Ordinary
Farm Purposes.

The users Of drain tile are com
ing more and more to use the larger
tile. For a good many years farmers
have dug bitches for and used 2ia-
inch, three-inch and 31a-inch tile.
Now they have come to see that four
inch tile does better service and costs
little more than the other. The small
er sized tiles are being discarded to
such an extent that some of the man.
ufacturers this year will make no tile
smaller than four-inch. The move.
ment is a step in advance. 1t costs
just as much to dig a ditch for a
three-inch tile as for a four-inch, and
that is the principal cost of the tile
drain. Small tile becomes easier
clogged with the sediments. In case
the frost gets at It and chips off some
of the inside it is the easier to fill up.
especially where the fall is sufficient
to give considerable current. which in
turn washes into one piece of tile the
| chips from many. The larger tile car.
ries off the food water much more
rapidly than the smaller tile and the
amount of air thus drawn into the
soil is considerable. The men that are
going to put in tile drains this sum
mer will do well to contract only foT
large tile. Doubtless some of the
manufacturers or their agents will
have on hand small bore tile that they
will want to get rid of and will make
| strenuous efforts to induce farmers to
buy. 1t viii be well for farmers in
such eases to remember that the other
fellows are merely trying to UNLOAD"
on them. Even a large reduction in
price should fail to induce intelligent
farmers to put in tile that will not
do the best of work.-Farmers' Re
| view.

NIBBLED AT POKER CHIPS.
Joke of n Philadelphia Merchant at
the Expense of SpOrtiye
Employees,

Business sometimes drags during the aft.
ernoons down among the Water street
wholesale houses, and on the principle that
when the cats away the mice will play the
clerks often amuse themselves with quiet
little poker games, says the Philadelphia
Record. The proprietor Of tea and coffee
warehouse left the other day about three
o'clock. But he changed his mind about
two hours later, and discovered four OF his
trusted employees engaged in game OF poker.
They were caught dead to rights, and there
was nothing to do but bluff. it out. There
wasn't anything going on" explained the
banker, so we thought we would try little
poker-just for fun, you know"
As matter of fact, they were playing
25cent limit game, and in lieu of chips grains
of raw coffee represented five cents each and
roasted coffee grains were % cents. ii
Just sit and watch you for awhile, said the
merchant, who is something of a sport him
self. He pulled a chair alongside the fellow
who had the most coffee in front of him,
and the game proceeded. AT intervals he
would reach over, pick up couple of roast
ed grains and chew them, meditatlvely. At
the end of half hour he had eaten 1915
worth of coffee, and the erstwhile winner
could make no protest. When he finally
left the store there was a twinkle in his eye.
The banker hasn't succeeded III getting his
affairs straightoned out yet.

Paris. The way the different sections
of the exhibition thread their way
through bits of real Paris on both sides
of the Seine is one of the most charm
ing features, but what appeals to me
and gratifes me most is the undoubted
fact that Chicago has set the pace for
Paris, the mother of exhibitions. The
whole system has been revolutionized
by our worlds fair, and France has
realized that she must plan hers in the
future on similar lines to attract the
worlds interest. This she has done.
The old Palais dIndustrie. which
hitherto was considered adequate. has
been torn down and splendid buildings
have been erected similar in effect to
ours. Paris has utilized the water eff
feet as we did, and has expended money
on space in a manner hitherto un-
dreamed of.
But beautiful as it all is, / do not
consider that they equal us. There is
certainly no view comparing with our
Court of Honor.
"In another way has France imita ted
US, namely. the way in which women
are now recognized. For the first time
in France a woman is on the commits
sion. And women will be placed on
every jury which will have to decide on
all industries in which women are di-
rectly or indirectly interested. This
is a great step in advance. Numerous
women's congresses will be held begin
ming in June.
"The chairman on the women's con-
gress here has just appointed Mrs.
Charles Henrotin, of Chicago, the dele
gate-at-large for America, to secure
:he participation of the American
women"

When it is about time for the corn
and potatoes to break through the
ground go over the field with a light
harrow, not only to loosen the soil and
break the crust if it has baked at all
but to kill all the little weeds that arc
starting on the surface and trying
to get ahead of the crop planted.
When they are up about two inches
high repeat the narrowing, and con
tinue it until it is time to use the cul-
tivator between the rows. The har-
row will not only save much labor
in weed killing, but either crop will
look as if it had a fertilizing within
"a hours after the harrow went over

Peter Jansen, the great sheep feeder
of Nebraska, says: mo man should
attempt to feed sheep without being
prepared to dip them for scab, and the
only safe way is to dip them not less
than seven nor more than ten days
apart There are several very effective
tobacco dips on the market, which, il
used according to directions, will care
scab every time. The old"fashioned
louise and sulphur dip is a dead sure
thing, and probably the cheapest. ]

sion, but wish to impress two or three
important missions upon the uneXperi-
enced: Keep your dip at a tempera-
ture of not less than 40 degrees all
the time, use a thermometer to deter
mine it, keep your sheep in the bath
not less than two minutes by the watch,
not by guessing"
