"Why, Adamp exclaimed Eve
aghast, "What do you mean"
"Er-well," ventured Adam, don't

NO." said Eve rather snappishly,

Dear me! Do you wish me to wear q

Adam did not answer this last sally,
but sat down to the table and poured
out cup of coffee.
"This coffee is too weak" he said
irritably.
"You are very touchy to-day,

CARE OF FINGER NAILS.

To be her own manicure a woman
requires velvet nail file, a pair o.
curved clippers, chamois covered
polisher, an orange-wood stick, nail
powder, cosmetic, and, if she chooses
a nail polish, although this last is no,
actually necessary.
Before beginning the treatment ol
the finger nails the fingers should be
held for few minutes in warm soapy
water. This part of the operation is
to render the nails soft, so that the
file will not break them. The curved
clippers are used to cut the nail and
partially shape it. 1t is best to cut
straight across the top OF the nail first,
and then follow the curve of the scis.
sors at each side.
Very expert manicures never use
scissors or clippers at all, but always
do the shaping with the file. A velvet
file is the only one that should ever
he used for the nails. These files are
now to be had at any department shop
and cost about 20 cents.
After the clipping the file is used to
q symmetrical almond shape to the
nail. The next step is to gently push
down the outer skin around the out.
side OF the nail, and the orange-wood
stick, sharpened down to fiat point
and covered with tiny bit of antisep
tic gauze, should be used for this pur-
pose.
Dip this stick into weak nail bleach
or better still, into little lemon juice
and gently press down the cuticle OF
selvedge around the edge Of the nail
Pass this same stick moistened with
the acid under the nail. Dip the
fingers again into the soapy water and
dry them. Next apply very little
nail cosmetic. Always put this on BY
lightly touching the finger nail at the
base and smearing it toward the top
This prevents the cosmetic from being
crowded under the selvedge at the
base of the nail.
Now spread very little of the nail
powder on each nail, and little also
on the polisher. Polish with q brisk
movement back and forth, not omit.
ting the side of the nail. Proceed in
the same way with the other hand
and when both have reached this stage
give them a scrub in warm soapy water

ROOSEVELT TRUSTS.
The President Recognizes the Fact They are an
Aggressive Evil at Times.

The President Recognizes the Fact They are al
Aggressive Evil at Times.
Next to reciprocity and the Nicar.
aguan Canal the President discusse,
with all his callers the subject ol
trusts to an extent which shows how
important he considers this topic
Most of those called into conference
in the White House consider the de.
tails of their talks as strictly conf
dental, but it appears to be quite evi.
dent, from the various reports which
filter out from time to time, that the
President has rather strong convic-
tions on this subject.
He fully recognizes, his callers say,
the gravity Of the problem, and, while
he is full of the idea that something
must be done, he, like many other
men, is somewhat dubious as how
and when the remedy for trusts must
be applied.
The President, it is said, is extreme
ly anxious to do something to curb
the power of the trusts so far as their
operations tend to raise prices and
crush competition. At the same time
he does not desire to inaugurase a
crusade against corporations merely
because they are companies and not
private firms. He is fully aware, his
callers declare, of the great danger
which would come to the country
from legislation which would tend to
restrict the ordinary uses of capital.
At the same time he has expressed
himself again and again as being in
favor of legislation, either by the fed
eral government or by the States or
by both, which will tend to keep the
trusts within legitimate bounds and
make them merely organizations to
cheaper production, which is their
legitimate sphere, instead of becom-
ing conspiracies to crush competition
and create monopoly.
The President has requested great
many men in different parts of the
country and in different walks of life
to feel public opinion for him and let
him know not only the conditions of
public sentiment regarding the trusts
themselves, but more particularly to
secure suggestions as to the best
methods of restricting the operations
of the trusts to their legitimate
sphere Of action. The President fully
recognizes the difficulties growing out
Of the limited power of the federal
government, and of the consequent
diversity OF legislation by the States,
but he believes, it is said, that the
time is ripe for judicious agitation
of the subject, so that in the end some
method may be arrived at which will
cure the manifest evils OF the trusts
without in any way attacking the
natural rights OF capital to combine
in legiti mate manner.

A STEAM GIANT.

Hercules, the Iron Man." is q
steam mechanical walking man on
exhibition at a Cleveland CO., summer
resort. He is eight feet high, and
when the oil fire inside him 10 lighted
and steam generated, he walks about,
pushing sort Of iron-wheeled cart.
He wears a plug hat and fiendish
grin, and puffs exhaust steam through
HE nostrils. Late one night some of
the campers at the park lighted the
fire in Hercules" after the resort was
closed and Hercules" owner had
gone away. The valve had been left
open when Hercules" fire was put
out, and when he got up steam he be-
gan to walk about the park. He beat
Frankenstein's monster for while.
No one knew how to to stop him,
and he walked all over the park,
through the shallow lake, over the
tents of the campers and the sideshow,
tents Sleepers in his path had to be
awakened to get them out Of the way,
for it was impossible to control the
steam mans movements. Inequali-
ties in the ground, trees and other OBJ
structions turned him aside, but could
not stop him. He terrorized the
park for an hour, but came to grief at
the bar. He marched up to it just rs
though he had money, bumped against
it and knocked it over. Hercules" fell
with the bar and alighted on his head
on the other side. He stood there on
his head, kicking his feet in the air
until his steam went down.

THE SCRUB DAIRYMAN.
He Makes Poor Quality of Butter

Doubtless the storekeeper is in a

brings in his country butter. In order
to ascertain the amount and charac-
ter of the country butter sold in Man
haitian population, $500, plus 1000
students for threefourths of the year,,
six grocery firms were interviewed.
Country butter amounted to about Is
per cent. of the total sales. This was
usually divided into four grades. The
average results show SO per cent. of the
amount received in grade No. l (the
best grade), 23 per cent in grade No.
2, II per cent. in grade No. 3, and 81
per cent. in grade No. 4. On an aver
age 20 per cent. of the amount of coun-
try butter received was unfit for local
sale and had to be RELOCATED to the
renovating factories. One of these
firms stated that with a little more

Cement Floor for a Cellar.

While it is not at all difficult to
Jay a cement floor it is well to have
the advice and assistance of local
mason. The main thing is to get a
good foundation of broken stones or
bricks at least six inches deep. The
cement can then be mixed dry with
it's bulk of coarse, sharp sand, or
fine gravel. Add water and mix very
thoroughly until it is a, soft uniform
mortar. Pour over tAe foundation,
tamping down well until it fills all
crevices between the stones. In
about "a hours another thinner coat
may be smoothly spread over the
surface, making everything level.
Cover with hay or straw for several
days to avoid too rapid drying and
cracking. There is nothing better
than cement for the purpose.-Rural
New Yorker.
