Origin Of Letters.
From the Londsn Chronicle.

From the L0nden Chronicle.
We are on the verge of discovery which
will affect no ones happiness or habits,
but which has an unparalleled academic
interest. Sir John Evans remarkable finds
in Crete have already been noted In these
columns. The writing upon the clay tab
lets from Knossos has been thought to
show that letters were evolved from picture
writing on Cretan soil about four thousand
years ago. This, as we have observed
would give to Europe the credit attaching
to the most powerful weapon Of civiliza tSon:
for the letter is mightier than the battery
But possibly we shall have to bow to the
east after all. for now the same inchoate
alphabet has been found at Boeotia, and
the question arises whether Crete or
Boeotia was the first. When that is set
tied we must search Phoenicia and Egypt
for the germ of the idea. Meanwhile we
may back the English explorer of Crete
against the German student of Boeotia

tians is turned against the scorner

Some Important Toilet Hints

No woman is really ugly. though ma
tuer may have denied her the classic
features that typify beauty, in the gem
orally accepted sense OF the word. A
clear complexion and healthy skin
are far more conducive to good looks
than mere regularity Of form and
feature.
Now, the problem of how to acquire
the bloom of youth, once age has de-
manded a toll on the road of life. con-
fronts every woman sooner or later.
Late hours and heavy meals taken
at Irregular intervals are all foes to
beauty, for the pores of the skin absorb
bad air, and are affected by fatigue OF
the body. while food plays most inn
portant part in the beautifying of the
complexion. The wise woman. who
values her skin at any price nature as
sessed it. restricts herself to light
diet, where milk, vegetables and fruit
are prominent factors. She avoids
heavy wines-nay. stimuiants general
ly-and finds in the glass of milk ol

To Acquire Pretty Arms

"a great many girls have what they
call skinny arms. and certainly they
are not graceful or pretty to look on,
but fortunately the evolution from
bony arms to altogether lovely curves
is much easier accomplishment than
one would suppose.
A girl who is in good general health
can develop her arms by dumb-bells or
Indian clubs. She should never exer-
else enough to produce humps OF mus
Gle, which are very ugly.
Fresh air is absolutely essential TO
all physical beauty, and the girl who
wants pretty arms must get plenty Of
oxygen into her lungs.
Sometimes the arm is pretty in con-
tour, but the texture of the skin is
coarse, rough and even pimply, or the
arm will be covered with what is cali
ed goose flesh" at intervals.
In either case there is something
wrong with the skin circulation. and
friction is required. To secure proper
Stimulation of the circulation the arms
should be daily scrubbed with a good
sized brush.
Use hot water and soap for this scrub
bing. and do not be afraid The un-
accustomed friction may make the arm
little tender for a day or two. in
which case apply a little skin food af
ter the operation. Ina very short time
you will have grown accustomed to th'
scrubbing brush. and the result will b'
a soft. smooth skin surface.

towel is an excellent method Of pro
noting the circulation. and also in
vigorates the skin.
For the woman, however. who,
through carelessness or other causes.
has had the misfortune to acquire a
muddy skin or disfiguring blackheads.
the Following prescription win be
found invaluable:
Boric acid ..................2O grains
Camphor water .............4O minims
OIL OF nutmeg ............. minilns
White vaseline ............ / ounce
IAnoline ................t to 2 ounces
Apply by gently dabbing at bedtime
The skin may be fair and without
blemish naturally, yet withal so exqui-
sitely tender that the slightest rough
weather affects it painfully. For such
the following soothing lotion will do
much to allay the irritation. and also
prevent the dryness to which this kind
of skin is heir:
Solution of lead ............1 dram
Calamine lotion .........to 6 ounces
Hot water for washing is not to be
advocated. Tepid water. in which a lit
tie finely powdered oatmeal has been
thrown. should be used for the face
bath, and the woman who follows these
simple directions will soon find her
skin beautiful as a child's, glowing
with the unmistakable glow of health.
