Care of the Hands.

When washing the hands always use
a pure soap containing no free alkall
and rinse the soap thoroughly away.
Chapped hands are common to indi-
viduals with poorly circulating bLood,
and also to those who frequently i'm
merse their hands in either hot Or cola
water. This cosmetic jelly should be
used frequently as a preventive of d
rough. sensitive surface Thirty grains
of gum tragacanth, seven ounces of rose
water, one-half ounce of glycerin, one
half ounce of alcohol, one teaspoonful
of pure borax and two drops of oil of
rose. Let the tragacanth stand in the
rose water for three days, strain and
add other ingredients. This makes ,
delightfully."- lovely clear jelly, which
dries Immediately upon application and
which never leaves the skin oily. It
can be used on face or hands.

HOW TO USE OLD CHINA.
A Novel Way to Change Broken Btu
into q Decorative
Piece

The next time anyone in your fam
lily breaks a piece of china do not
throw away the pieces, but save them
carefully. If the piece broken should
be a large plate, it will be especially
valuable to you, although anything OF
the sort will be Of use.
If you have no paints of your own,
wait until the family have some paint
ing done about the house. Then get
a little of the paint and a small
brush.
For five cents you can buy at any
grocery store a small package OF
china cement, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean. This will fasten together the
edges of the broken china until the
plate or other piece looks as good as
now. However, it would not do to
use it as if it had never been broken,

COUNTRY GIRL COSMETICS
Right at Hand, the Country Girl Has
Materials for Beauty
Lotions.

The girl living on farm has SO many
materials at hand with which to make
acceptable gifts to city friends, and not
the least of these are the ingredients for
harmless but helpful cosmetics. And.
by the way, asks the Pilgrim, did YOU
know that word cosmetic was derived
from a Greek term signifying skilled in
the art g. decoration or ornament?
From the first, rhubarb sprouts and let
tuce leaves on through spinach (for col
oring creams and lotions), strawberries,
cucumbers. WatermelOns and ounce,
with honey and milk and nuts, the girl
on the farm has the best and pures:
materials to choose from and work with.
An expensive Italian cream is made
from the ground green seeds OF cucum-
bers, melons and pumpkins made i1to
flour which is slightly perfumed and
made into paste with sweet cream.
The basis of nearly all washes for
chapped hands is ounce seeds, so one
can make their own at slight expense by
..uding extract of witch hazel to the
emulsion. With care the girl living on
a farm should have the prOverbial rose
leaf or peaches and cream complexion
until she is at least IS years of age. The
Juice of cucumbers enters largely into
the preparation of many face creams and
watermelon juice is a famous southern
face wash. Tomato juice is fine for an
oily, greasy skin and the acid of straw
berries rivals that of lemons as bleach
ing agent. The basis of the most salts
factory cream is clarified mutton tallow,
which, made creamy with almond oil.
sweet with your favorite perfume and
colored with the juices of lettuce, spin
ach, rose petals or currants, will give
both beauty and pleasure to the re-
cipient. Try out mutton suet in dou-
bic boiler just as lard is rendered, and
when it is cold use the top portion, melt
ing it in a bowl set in hot water, strain
through hair sieve, then through
cheese cloth, and heat in the almond
oil or other ingredients while still
creamy. The addition of one dram Of
tincture Of benzoin or one-half a dram
of salicylic acid will prevent the emul-
sion from becoming rancid.

con was called out of town, so he ar
ranged with Mrs. Brown, neighbor,
and straight-laced orthodox, to enter
tain Mr.. Ballou. AS the hostess and
her eminent guest sat at tile supper ta-

It Is the sunset hour, and floods Of light
Pour their full radiance Ger the west

Giving the clouds a glory new and bright

Is hushed in slumber solemn and

As the last moments of departing day

Enshrouds the splendor of the rosy

While all the stars upon their thrones of

With shining finger touches yonder

And links with gold the passing day,
And the still beauty OF the coming

SEEK TO DEVELOP THE YAUT,A.
New Vegetable Of Enormous import
ance to Porto Rico.

Efforts are being made in Porto
Rico to develop new vegetable Of
economic and commercial importance.
1t Is called the "yautia,' and is nearly
related to the taro--the plant that fur
nishes so valuable a food to the ma
tives Of Polynesia, and which. under
the name Of elephant ear" is famil-
iarly known as an ornament in our
own gardens
Yautia was well known to the ma
tives Of the West Indies long before
the landing Of Columbus and was
cultivated by the Caribs when the
Spaniards first arrived It's starchy,
tuberous root, which Is the part that
Is good to eat, looks somewhat like
sweet potato, and is six or eight
inches long, with a diameter of
couple OF inches. When cut into
pieces and boiled it resembles, boil
ed white potato in appearance.
The people of Porto Rico use the
root as substitute for the potato,
usually boiled, though there are sew
eral other ways Of preparing it for
the table. 1t costs one and half to
two cents a pound-twice the price
OF taro root, which itself is used as
a food throughout the West Indies.
The plant has long, spear-shaped
leaves. instead of the broad one re-
sembling elephant ears, which dis.
'inguish the taro.
There are about twenty-five varie-
ties OF the yautia. 1t takes very
long season to mature the plant
which would not produce a plant in
the United States unless it might be
in the south of Florida and along tie
gulf coast.-New York Herald.
