THE VALUE OF CLYCERlN.
In Cold Of Winter and Chill Of Spring
Of 1nestimable Value in
Soothing Skin.

Nothing is better for chapped hands
than mixture of glycerin and olive oil
in equal proportions. The softness Of the
oil takes away the smarting property Of
the glycerin. To make glycerin jelly
equal to that sold, and quite pure, dis
solve one-ounce packet Of table gela-
tine in little water; then whisk it into
pint of glycerin. 1t can be colored with
cochineal. Pour into pots. II too stiff
add more glycerin. An ounce packet Of
gelatine stirred into four ounces of gly-
cerin after being softened with water
will cause the gelatine to set like stiff
glue. This, cut into squares, Is excellent
to use in t.-0at troubles. A tin Of con-
densed milk, rsdr ounces of glycerin,
two ounces Of honey .od half pound
Of sugar make a honeyscotch nice to
take, and very nutritious. If a laxative
is required, two teaspoonfuls of glycerin
sw>Sxwed warm at intervals of ar hour
are what is needed. AS cure for indi-
gestion 4 teaspoonful Of glycerin after
meals is perfect cure. For pimples,
flowers of sulphur mixed with glycerin
is splendid remedy. For earache, .
few drops of warm glycerin poured into
the ear soothes and heals, and equal
parts of bellador"a and glycerin mixed
ard rubbed round the ear will soothe
the pain il severe.

LIGHTING WITH ACETYLENE
Rapidly with Which This Industry
Has Developed in France-Forty
Thousand Plants Established.

According to Engineering, there ara
now in use in France more than $1,000
plants for the production of acetylene
gas for Illuminating purposes. A very
few-scarcely more than a hundred
are devoted to the lighting of towns,
and only the smallest towns have in
PRODUCED the system. The great major
ity of the installations have been made
by individuals for their own places Of
residence and business houses. Both
the French government and the French
insurance companies have adopted strict
rules regarding the arrangement and
position of the generator. On the other
side of the Atlantic, as in the United
States, it is not regarded wise to have
the apparatus inside the building that
is to be lighted. Much less damage,
would result from an explosion If the
plant were out of doors. 1t is probable
that the consumption of calcium car
bide, from which acetylene is obtained
by the addition of water, Is larger in this
! country than in any other, but the
method of using it is somewhat differ
ent here. In the United States large
quantities of acetylene are added to
ordinary water gas to enrich" the lat
ter, thus making unnecessary the en-
ployment of certain volatile products of
petroleum which were formerly re-
Quired. Inasmuch as Engineering makes
no reference to the observance Of suc!,
q practice in France, it may be supposed
that most of the acetylene generated In
: that country is consumed without ad-
mixture with any other gas than air.
After the discovery Of q cheap way to
make calcium carbide, about dozen
years ago, q great revolution in modes
of lighting was anticipated. Accidents
which resulted from the careless hand
ling of acetylene rendered it unpopular
for time, and it has come into favor
more slowly than was expected. Among
tho hopes that were cherished for a
time was that lamp for household use
might be devised in which water and
calcium carbide would take the place OF
kerosene Hundreds of devices of that
sort have been patented, but it is hard to
find one that is thoroughly fool proof"
Acetylene gives such beautiful light
and is so cheap that the failure to de-
velop q perfectly satisfactory portable
lamp for its utilization IS greatly to be
lamented. ~ -...

FOR ELECTRICIANS.
"A Metallic Suit Which Is Said % 30

IDEAL OF JAPAN'S SAMURAl
Courage Com bined with Culture Makes
tho Perfect Subject Of the
Mikado.

The national ideal of Nippon for
many, many centuries has been the
union of the soldier and the scholar in
one. A man who is brave, but at the
same time is not cultured and gentle,
is very far from commanding the ad-
miration of his countrymen. The
gentle flower of culture alone is not
sufficient for the making of an ideal
man. to our way of thinking, says a
Japanese soldier, in Success Maya.
zine. .,--
1t was the historic night of the Goth
of May, on the hillslopes of the Nam
shan. We had driven the Russians
down the hillside The Nippon army
bivouacked upon the battlefield atop
of the Nanshan. Camp fires fickered
upon as sad and bloody a field of bat
tie as one could possibly see. An Of.
ficer, who had missed a comrade, was
searching over the battlefield for his
lost friend. He had wandered long far
into the night. At length he came upon
two soldiers who were trying to bury
the remains of a heroic dead man.
As the light of his lantern fell upon
the Hlieless body, the officer who had
been wandering up and down the
field of carnage was electrified by the
discovery of the remains of his old
comrade. Without word he brushed
aside the two privates who were about
to put the body into its last resting
n1ace Around the forehead of the
dead there was piece of white cloth
stained with blood. The oficer who
had been searching united the cloth.
At first it appeared like bit of inno-
cent towel, but when the officer shook
it out in the light of his lantern there
fluttered upon the night wind the ma
tional flag, with the round, red sun OF
Nippon dyed in the center. There was
upon the flag something besides the
sun. In spite of the stains of blood,
one had little trouble in making out
the lines of a classic couplet. 1t was
written with ink of rusty red. I'm
uuestionably, it was written with
blood. The dead soldier must have
written it with his own blood, before
going into action. The couplet= read:
Forever shall we guard thy stand
ard, O sovereign prince. even If this
orr life shall vanish with the dews OF
the morrow"

Agatha's prospective mother-in-law,
II she be a selfish woman, may be at the
bottom of Toms postponed marriage
Mothers sometimes hate the idea of part
Ing with sons, and move heaven and
earth to keep them single. A son who
is fond of his mother, has it may be, not
the manhood to break her bonds. In
proportion as he is good son, he breads

very tactfufand a little SUBSCRIPTIONS, she
may manage her son without his sus-
pecting it, and in one way or another
preserve her ascendancy over him, and
keep that girl" waiting an indefinite
time.
To tell the plain truth, Agatha is in a
very delicate and difficult position. She
cannot take the initiative. No girl who
respects herself can beg her lover to
name the wedding day. This is his pre-
rogative, not hers. He should beg, and
she grant the favor of an early marriage.
A man should be sure of his own mind,
and purse, before becoming engaged

day. II he does, the young woman may
sever the bond. This is her privilege.
But size cannot plead for change of be-
havior on MS part. An unwilling BRIDE
groom would be shanefully insulting
mate for any woman.
Should man, as may happen, discov-
or too late that he has made mistake,
that his love is on the wane, that instead
of anticipation, foreboding is the mood
and temper in which he regards mis-
coming marriage. his only honorable
course is to be candid with the girl he has
sought. He would do her great wrong
if he married her, when his heart was
fu:l of reluctance. Few girls hesitate
to release lover who made this explain

Osteopathic pebbleC.

Thousands of chronic cases have
exhausted the treatment of other
schools of therapy without success
These drug saturated wrecks, the
hardest types in their most wretched
aspect, appeal to osteopathy as last
resort, and it is upon these desperate
cases that osteopathy has won its
greatest victories.
We are encouraged in Gods word
to pray for the sick. So are we to
pray for daily bread, but we are to
work for bread as well. If we are to
work for bread we are to doctor for
disease. Prayer is important in both
cases, but prayer, like faith, without
works is dead, hence if the sick
would be we'll, they must be treated
physically.
Many diseases resist every kind of
medical treatment till patience and
drug remedies are exhausted There
is a treatment, however, to which
you will find your trouble yields and
that is genuine osteOpathy. Osteo-
paths apply that which is practical,
not merely theoretical. Theory is
poor if it will not work results. Peo-
pie are weary of theories; they want
results. OsteOpathy is founded upon
results.
