"A Wise Woman"

Many women wear thin linen under
clothing in winter and then they illog-
ically complain of red noses, enlarged
veins in the face, rough. red hands
and a dry, ill-nourished skin. Now,
the way to maintain a soft, supple
skin and clear and pinky complexion
is to keep up a plentiful supply Of
blood near the surface all over the
body. A wise women knows that
nothing is more destructive to a love
ly skin than cold feet. Therefore,
even if she indulge in the vanity of
spun silk or perforated hose, she uses
cork soles in her shoes so as to keep
up the circulation of the blood, upon
which the skin depends so largely
for its softness and luster. Lack of
warmth in the abdomen leads to a
congested state of the liver and the
huge network of blood vessels which
control the supply of nourishment to
the skin are situated in the abdomen.
The middle of the body should be kept
warm and free from the chills which
cause contraction of the blood vessels

Oldest Livinq Thinu.

An old yew tree stands in the
churchyard at Fortingal in Perth
shire, which De Candolle, nearly CEN
tury ago proved to the satisfaction of
botanists to be twenty-five centuries
old, and another is still standing at
Hedsor. in Buclas, which is 3,240 years
old. How de Candolle arrived at an
apparently correct estimate of the
enormous age of these living trees is a
simple thing, and the principle is
doubtless well known to-day to all. The
yew. like most other trees, adds one
line, about the tenth of an inch, to its
circumference each year. But the
Oldest living thing in the world to-day,
so far as known, is a cypress tree in
Chapultepec, Mexico, that is 6,260
years old.

gagged a New York pugilist to scare
him out of the campaign. and the man
made haste to announce that he in
tended to wipe Van Duzer off de
cart" The candidate arrived in Reno
ignorant of the fellows existence and
was welcomed by a lot of friendly
miners. Two of them, each of them
over six feet tall and neither afraid
of anything, walked with him to his
hotel. where the fighting man was
waiting. The miners passed Mr.. Van
Duzer into his room and then went
over to where the 'scrapper" stood.
He looked them over carefully and
then backed away. The next train

1.-THE Yellow Blessinu."

In a recent issue of a Japanese
magazine, Gicho Sakurai writes under
the title "The Yellow Blessing" He
believes that, for various reasons,
which he lays down in detail, what the
Russians call the yellow Peril" will
be really blessing for the world. In
brief, the argument is to the effect
that, first the present war has proven
that Asiatic races are not morally and
physically inferior to Europeans; sec
ond, that they are not inferior to the
West in matters of lofty moral ideas
and humanitarian conception; third.
that it is their vocation to spread the
humanitarian principles more widely
than they have ever been spread be-
fore; fourth, that the Japanese soldier
Is really fighting for constitutional
government and against despotism;
fifth, that Japanese triumph will
mean a triumph for religious freedom
as against Russian religious bigotry;
sixth, that one of the causes of
Japan's victory is the education which
is given in Japan without any distinc-
tion Of caste or creed; seventh, that
this war is holding up before other
Asiatic races a good example Of what
education and liberal ideas can do;
eighth, that with the termination of
the war. Oriental nations will be in a
position to improve their condition
along the ways of peace; ninth, that a
Japanese triumph will be of immense
advantage to the commerce of the
Orient; and, tenth, that the Russian
people will themselves be benefited by
japanese victory.
