THE ACE OF BEAUTY.

The physical beauty Of women
should last until they are past fifty.
Nor does beauty reach its zenith under
the age Of thirty-ave or forty.
Helen Of Trey came upon the stays
at the age of forty.
Cleopatra was past thirty when she
met Antony
Anne Of Austria was thirty-eight
when described as the most beautiful
woman in Europe.
The old saying about sweet sixteen
is exploded By the truer knowledge that
the highest beauty does not dwell Il
immatu-ity; for beauty does not mean
alone the fashion of form and coloring,
as found in q wazen doll. A womsu's
best and richest years are from twenty
sig to forty. No woman is passe at an

JAvANESE METHOD OF
INDUCING SLEEP.

Dr.. Steiner observed In Java a method
employed to induce sleep. It consists in
COMPRISING the carotid arteries. The
operator sits on the ground behind the
patient. whose neck he seises with both
hands. The index and middle fingers are
then pushed forward into the carotids,
which are compressed toward the spine
The patients respiration becomes more
rapid and more profound and his head
relaxes backward. The method is abso-
lutely harmless. anaesthesia is rapidly
obtained and the patient wakes prompt
~ with no symptoms Of nausea or ma
laise.
Dr.. Steiner declares the method to be
well known in lava, where it is used
to relieve headache. sleepIessness. etc.
and points out the fact that the carotid
ar.ery was known TO the ancienta as
areteria soporifera. and that its name
IN modern Russian is artery OF sleep"

VALUE OF THE TROLLEY

a man started from Michigan

short break journeyed by trolley to
New England, It is said that 1t will
soon be possible to make the entire

The rapid progress which has been
made IN this method of travel is likely
to cause more changes in our eiviliza-
ton than any other one thing since
the invention of the telegraph. Tt has
already assisted enormously IN the de
velopment of suburban settlements.
