A central office for the supplying OF
trips by trolley in the vicinity of Dos
ton, has beer opened in that city by a
man who also undertakes personally to
conduct parties around the country
near Boston. These trips cover from
one to three days and takes in all the
interesting points within easy reach
The travelling is done exclusively by
trolley.

Beauty and Soap.

In your desire to be beautiful don t
underate the power of soap. The girl with
the clear, delicate skin uses a great deal of
soap, and if she takes the advice Of beauty
doctors, she applies it not with her hands
or cloth, but with shaving brush. She
puts it on just as man does who is going
30 shave. and when she is finished she
knows that it has gotten sufficiently into
the pores of the skin to make them clean.
But she doesn't forget to remove the
lather when it has done its cleansing work,
and she knows that this can't be done in
one or two or even three waters, but that
it will take nearly dozen, and that in the
last there must be little borax powder.
Then the skin, though clean, is in a
very tender state and blast of chill air
will chap it, and she knows what horrid
thing a chapped face is. So, after it has
been mopped-not rubbed-dry she rubs
a little cold cream into the skin and over
this is busted a good face powder Then
with a novel or magazine or with her own
thoughts, if they are pleasant, she places
herself before the fire, and for an hour
she allows the gentle heat, the cold cream
aud the face powder to do their hardening
work
The skin is very sensitive, and nothing
short of the house burning down would get
her into the cold air But at the end of
an hour she is ready to go out, her skin is
clear and healthy and hard enough to stand
even the wintry blasts, if they are not too
strong. In the latter case veil is a very
necessary article of apparel.

Progress in Use of Iron.


Civilization can be gaused by progress
in the use Of iron. In recent paper to
the London Institution of Mechanical En-
gineers, Mr.. J. II Wieksteed showed that
spongy malleable iron, made direct from
the ore, was much employed for tools and
weapons about 1000 B. c., the time of
the earliest records OF accurately known
date, and received great attention in the
time of Homer, $50 B. c. Until about
400 years ago. however, bronze held the
field for objects that could not be shaped
by hand hammering. The best authorities
have decided that cast-iron was discovered
between 1890 ard 1900 and from that
time iron became as tractabe as bronze,
and the iron foundry was added to the
forge. 1t is remarkable that this discovery
exactly corresponds with the revival of let
tiers in England

Keep Clocks on Time.

The Western Union Telegraph Com

keeping 20, 600 clocks correct, charging
for SO doing sl5 per year for each clock
These are set at noon each day BY an auto
matte arrangement in each electric equip
ment, which responds to the beat of the
sidereal clock in the naval observatory
when its hands point to II and let the
time current 90. \ few minutes before
this hour business over the Western Union
wires is suspended, and operators through
out the country put their instruments in
shape to form an unbroken circuit from the
observatory to every place where ticks a
clock to be electrically influenced. There
is hush over all the great telegraphic
system. Then the time ball strikes, and
instantly the time messages flash over the
wires.

Don't Let Wife Thrash You.

Il have no patience with man who
lets his wife thrash him, said Judge Tu-
ley, of Chicago, last week, after listening
to the petition of Frederick A. Jahnke for
divorce from Anna NJ. Jahnke, on the
ground of extreme and unusual cruelty.
"It is the duty Of the husband to make
the wife obey, the Judge declared. ''He
should exercise corrective sternness where
necessary, and show that he is master of
the house. Make plain the fact that she
is exceeding her wifely obligations, and i'm
press upon her the fact that the man is the
ruler of the home to an extent that pre-
eludes any right of violence from her. .
Jahnke testified that his wife frequently
beat him with shoe, He got his decree,

Leap Year Love Test.

There is a little token called the Glove
test, which the firtatious maiden makes
early in leap year and sends to the young
man she fancies most, Or, if she is the
typical girl of 1904, practical, heart whole,
and fancy free, she sends several of them
to as many of her admirers.
A piece of cardboard seven by nine
inches is selected and gashed in nine places
to admit ribbons from an inch to an inch
and half in width. These are selected
in colors corresponding with those in the
couplets which are either lettered on the
ribbon itself, or on the cardboard above it.
The girl who is something of an artist may
carry out the color scheme of the ribbons,
in border of flowers, painted around the
sides and top, cutting the cardboard away
from part Of the flowers to make an irreg
ular edge. Blue cornfowers, black pan
sizes, orange blossoms, yellow daisies, fern
leaves, little brown button NUNS, red car
nations, hehotrope, and violets are painted
in over the ribbons, which hang in long
irregular fringe and which, if well selected,
make a beautiful color scheme when ar
ranged in the order mentioned.
