civ Outerowiue Water system.

Probably no better conception can be
formed of the growth Of Idaho Springs
Than in considering its water supply.
The starters .f the present gravity sys-
tenn had no conception what the future
would bring forth. as evidenced by their
selection of Warren gulch for the supply
stream as well as by the size Of some of
the water mains in our streets.
Idaho Springs since the completion Of
the water sysiem of~the esriisr days. has
nearly irebled in size. The growth has
been gradual and healthy, which fact has
enabled the different town boards to en-
large the water syst, m in proportion and
at a moderate expense.
The original system consisted Of 4
headgatc at the junction of Soda and
Little Bear creeks, supply pipe line less
than mile in length leading to the one
reservoir. and the necessary mtims and
laterals through the town THIS system
was all right for time. but laier on an

Cream for Chapped Hands.

"A cream for chapped hands, which
Is also whitener, is made as fol-
lows: One ounce white wax, one ounce
spermaceti, one ounce nut oil, all add
ed to one-quarter ounce camphor gum
dissolved in one ounce olive oil. Nett
together and beat to a cream. Rub
into the hands after bathing them in
warm water and CASTLE soap. The
cure is aided by sleeping in loose kid
gloves after the application, as this
prevents the cream rubbing off during
the night; it also causes slight per

What a Blush Really Is.

Not long since we were asked to give
scientific definition of the word
"blush." We have made an effort from
an anatomical and physiological point of
view to give the definition. A blush is a
temporary erythema and caloric efful-
gence of the physiognomy, aetiologized
by one perceptiveness of the sensorium
when in predicament of uneauilibrity
from a sense of shame, anger or other
cause, eventuating in paresis Of the
vasomotor filaments of the facial capil-
laries, whereby, being divested of their
elasticity, they are suffused with a radi-
ance effemanating from an intimidated
praecordia.- Medicine.

cHEAPNESS SPELLS WASTE.
Buying Cheap Clothes Is the Kind Of
Economy Which Only Fool
ish Women Practice. III

There is no economy in buying cheap
material or in having a poor but cheap
dressmaker make your gown. If there
is only a certain amount of money for
clothes, far better have one good gown,
well made, than three which will fade,
get out Of shape, and lose their beauty
in half a dozen wearings. A tailor suit
which is we'll made and of a material
which will not only wear we'll, but
which is Of soft, pretty shade which
is not conspicuous, will give the wear
er more real enjoyment and keep her
looking trim and neat more than any
other sort of costume. There are
many women who think that the fussi-
ness of gown tells the story of the
money spent better than the natty
tailor suit. These women spend their
little all on the accessories, leaving but
little to buy the foundation and pay
the dressmaker. The material is cheap
but showy-two of the worst features
in gown for a woman in moderate
circumstances. Combined with this
are the effort of a poor tailor, and
after three or four times wearing, par
t1cularly if the gown is worn in damp
weather, it has the appearance of be-
ing ready for the rag bag, and no
brushing or pulling will help it. Then
the snowy material and elaborate
trimming call attention to it every
time it is worn, whereas it might, at
A woman frequently has to wear the
same suit more than one season, and
again that snowy material tells a
story, but this time it flaunts itself
before all as second season costume
All who saw it last year remember it
Brown is wearing that same tailor suit
with the green and red trimmings and
brass braid.
Moreover, says the Cincinnati Com
mercial, there is an art in dressing to
suit the time. The business woman
who understands the art eschews ali
frills and furbelows, and above all any
display of jewelry during business
hours. Her costume is such that she

Empire, Tho principle Of the arch was
known even before the Roman period. but
tho Roman engineers were the first to
recognize It's value and TO develop It as
the most important Of all bridges build

outline was so early recognized, however,
that the ancient Greeks used the effect
In many OF their structures without mp
plying tho principle OF horizontal thrust
that makes the true arch.'
This principle, which underlles so much
OF modern architecture as well as bridge
building, Is nevertheless very simple ana
is very well represented by the old Hin
doc saying. The arch literally never
sleeps, for Its efficiency lies wholly In tho
constant pushing exerted by each block
