HOW TO HAVE BEAUTIFUL EYES


First of ALL you must make perfect
your general state of health. Nothing
is a surer index to bad livers than the
eye. It is dulled. and the white be-
comes yellow, under which conditions
no eye can be beautiful. Bathing the
eyes in sea water or water in which
rock sea salt is dissolved strengthens
them. And another important point is
not to fatigue them.
The eye does not recuperate so read
lily as other parts of the body. and ev-
cry time those delicate muscles ache
from fatigue you may consider you
have done them permanent injury. 1t
is not good to read while lying down,
and you should never read by a flicker
ing light. The light should fall direct
~ on the page. but not so as to strike
the eye in passing. Some foolish peo-
pie like to show the strength of the
eyes by looking at the sun. This is ex-
ceedingly injurious II the eyes are
tired it is comforting to lay a cloth
across them wet with hot water.
Stimulate the muscles at the corners
of the eyes by placing two fingers on
each temple and massaging with a ro-
tary movement Take plenty of sleep
and outdoor exercise. If a foreign sub
stance gets into the eye try to let the
tears flow and carry it toward the nose.
This is the point from which it is most
easily extricated. Never drop anything
into the eye to produce an artificial
sparkle. You may clip carefully the
tips of the eyelashes and rub them with
vaseline at night if you wish to pro-
mote their growth. and for the eye
brows, brush them often and train
them to grow in a proper direction.
To prevent the lids from wrinkling a
bath of boric water after the ordinary
morning ablutions is effective Boric
acid ointment is very healing when
eyes are infiamed, and it is better still
to drop into them a few drops of bOric
water.

HOUSEKEEPING AND EXPLoRA

Mrs. French Sheldon. the intrepid
American woman explorer. combines
housekeeping qualities with enterprise,
for she proudly acknowledges that
there is no duty connected with a
household which she cannot accom-

solute passion. and she has done every
thing in the way of exploring feats in
Africa that a man has done-in fact,
going a degree farther by her wonder
ful descent to Lake Chala. which lies
in the depths of an extinct volcano.
Needless to say Mrs. Sheldon's adven-
lures have been numerous and thrill

where there are no white people the
natives call her in their own language

her way to some OF the west African
colonies, commissioned by Sir Alfred
Jones to investigate their commercial
possibilities.

WOMEN MONEY LENDERS,
New York.

Not many women have been known
as money lenders in recent years. But
there are many hundreds who carry on
the business.
They are of all classes, from the lady
who pays for her dresses and carriages
out of the quarterly interest to the ex-
factory woman who scrapes together
odd sums from her husbands house
keeping allowance and lends them to
poor workgirIs in the district, charg-
ing them 5 cents interest on every %.
Then there are money lenders among
women in business. The deplorable
habit of borrowing money seems to be
increasing among all classes.

Her soul is safe in heaven.

Dives Were Made.
TESTED ON QUICK TURNS.
One Dive Carried the Boat to q Depth
Of 20 Feet In IL Seconds-GasoIine
and Electric Engines Were Used
with Success.

Newport, r. l.. June 2.-After yes
terday's trials of the submarine boat
Fulton, Capt. G. ]. Train, chairman of
the trial board. said that the ma
neuvres were entirely satisfactory
The program kept the submarine
busy from 10 o'clock In the morning
until In the afternoon. The weather
conditions were unsatisfactory, a
choppy sea and heavy rain continuing
throughout the trial.
The Fulton went over the Nara
gansett Bay course twice at cruising
speed and three times at full speed,
the boat being on the surface during
these runs.
While submerged she was sent over
the course three times and covered
the same distance awash and ready
to dive. She was also tested on quick
turns and made ten dives. An OBJ
server stated that one of these dives
carried the boat to a depth of 20 feet
in 12 seconds.
Capt. Train declined to give out any
figures taken during the test. but said
that both the gasoline and electric
engines of the boat were used with
satisfactory results.
The trials will probably not be
completed before the end of the week
The tests were the first under the

gress at its last session.
