Putting the Baby to sleep.


Il had tried everything to make my
little one sleepy at the right tlme," said
one of the progressive mothers, "and all
to no avail. He simply would not sleep
when l put him to bed. Ihad to forbid
the 'romp with papa after dinner, be-
cause it seemed to wake the boy up so
thoroughly. tried rubbing his feet
and putting hot water bag in the bed
on cold nights. tried feeding him just
before taking of his clothes. Nothing
had any effect on his excited nerves.
Then the doctor suggested a remedy that
worked like charm. Taking off Jack 8
clothes, sponged off his spine in hot
water, beginning at the neck and pass
ing down slowly and gently, and so
over and over again. kept the wa
ter as hot as could be borne, and con-
tinued the treatment until the skin was
red. Then the back was dried gently
and the child put into bed. Either the
gentle downward stroke or the hot wa
ter had soothing effect on the nerves.
Anyway, sleep was sure to follow. A
week or two of this treatment will usu-
ally effect a permanent cure."-Chicago

Oldest Mines in America.

The great clock Of Wells cathedral, in
Somersetshire, England, is very nearly
the oldest and certainly one Of the most
interesting of clocks in existence. 1t
was built in 1922, by Peter Lightfoot,
one of the monks of Glastonbury abbey,
six miles from Wells, where it ran for
$50 years, until the abbey was dissolved
by Henry VIII, and its last abbot hanged
over his own gateway. The clock was
then removed to Wells, where It has
been running ever since.-St. Nicholas

MORE BEAUTY DoN'7s.
Secrets Of Having shapely and Pretty
Nails and Soft and Delicate
Fingers.

Don't over-manicure the hands, or
they will become SO tender as to be cas-
lily redeemed and roughened.
Don't wash the hands oftener than
necessary, and dry them thoroughly aft
er every washing.
Don't neglect the palms Of the hands.
They need attention as much al the
backs Of the hands. Rub an emollient
-perfumed honey is good-into the
palms with thumb and foreflnger.
Don't neglect massaging and knead-
ing of the hands, in order to secure good
circulation, which helps to keep the
hands white and make the skin plant.
Don't forget to pinch the ends of the
fingers now and then. This will do
a good deal toward making the fingers
taper.
Don't polish the nails too highly, or
they become so brittle that the slightest
contact with anything hard breaks them
down to the quick. thereby causing in
tense pain.
Don't file or scrape the nails; either
process only helps to thicken them.
They should be rubbed down with the
very fine emery and cinnabar powder,
which is used for polishing shell and
ivory.
Don't allow the nails to remain long
soiled with anything that will stain
them.
Don't always use a nail polisher or
buffer. Once tn awhile try polishing
the nails on the palm of the hand.
Don't trim the nails to sharp points
If there is anything that will set the
teeth on edge it is to shake hands and
feed a slight Craze from such claws.
1t is feline.
Don't always use scissors to trim the
nails; a file is better to round of the
edges. Nothing tends to fnture the
nails 80 much as persistent trimming
with a pair of scissors.
Don't think that one rule applies to all
finger nails. No two sets Of nails can
be treated quite alike, not alone because
of their texture, but of their formation.
To trim some nails overmuch renders
them thick and ugly. To leave others
too long uncut increases their tendency
to brittleness.
Don't wear rings that are too small.
The inevitable result is Disagreement
from red and swollen hands and knuck-
les.
Don't wear gloves stitched with COL
ors. They make the hands look larger
Don't wear gloves that are size toe
small or that fasten too tightly. This
prevents free circulation and makes the
hands red.
Don't think the appearance Of the
hands a trifling consideration. A beau
tiful hand may be even more fascinating
than beautiful face, and nothing more
strongly marks the person of birth and

SMALL WAIST CRAZE.
Twenty Inches Quite Enough ana
More Than Twenty-Five Not to
BE Endured.

Since it has been decreed that the
shall-waisted, short-hipped figure Is
the only one acknowledged by fash
ion, the necessity for tight-lacing. writes
4 lady correspondent, has become imper-
alive. Corsets are worn-often at night
rs well as all day-which press the
waist line in and down to the hips, so
that, instead of showing long, slight
curve. they may be forced into short.
round curves. Women who wear these
corsets live in q kind of torture. and
the pressure In time sets up serious In
ternai complications, including heart
disease and lung trouble.
To such an extent has the evil grown,
it may be mentioned, that at certain ia
NOUS modiste's orders for gowns from
ladies' whose waist measurements are
over % inches are delicately. but firm
ly declined.
I'VE dare not risk our reputation by
gowning any but the most fashionable
women" explained the principal recent
~, "and no woman with large waist
can look well in a frock designed for one
who has cultivated the short-hip figure.
So If q customer comes to us wearing
the old-fashioned style Of corset, and
does not seem inclined to conform to
newer ideas, she must 60 elsewhere for
her gowns.
I'VE have heaps Of customers whose
measurements are three and four inches
smaller than they were last year, and In
almost every case this is due to the
tight facing demanded to acquire the
new figure. Quite young girls are the
worst offenders, and am quite sure we
have not made gown this season for a
aebutante whose waist measurement
exceeded 20 inches"
Until women are brave enough to defy
fashion the evil will doubtless grow in
stead Of lessen, and the practice will con-
tinue to add appreciably to the death
roll and fill the incurable hospitals with
women who have ruined themselves for
the sake Of a small waist-Cincinnati
