NEARST0NE FOR BUILDING.
Beton, or Imitation Granite and Sand
stone, Said to Be Durable-For-
mula for Former.

United States Consul Kehl, in Stettin.
Germany, tells about the first imitation
sandstone or beton building in north
ern. Germany, says the New York
World. It is to be used as government
insurance building. The staircase rail-
ing of imitation red granite has a DOL
ish equal to that on the real article:
only by close inspection can one detect
that it is in imitation. Even the halls
and stairs will all be of beton. The
framework is of cheap brick faced with
pieces Of imitation sandstone, cement
being used in setting the pieces. All the
blocks, window frames, stills, columns,
roof, balcony and portal ornaments are
so exactly cast that they fit with little
chiseling. To obtain the effect of gran
tie ground black marble is used; for red
granite red marble is used. The outer
shell of stonework is from 1.18 to 1.97
inches thick and is Of flne-ground quail
ity, while the filing is coarse-ground.
Wood forms are used for block work:
for fancy pieces plaster of paris molds
are used. The stones are sold by meas
urement and ornaments by the piece,
and the claim is made that the imitation
is SO per cent. cheaper and Just as dura-
BILE as the real article. The best form
ula for mixing beton is said to be one
part cement, three parts sand, five parts
ground stone.

IT'S THE WAY YOU PUT IT,
Hair Dye Finds Sale as Boot Polish
When introduced as
Such.

Grigsby was splendid agent in his
own trade, but lately he has taken up
a new line-a patent hair dye, relates
the Chicago Tribune.
He called at several suburban dwell
ings, but as soon as he proclaimed his
business-hair dye-the door was
slammed in his face.
At length he felt he must alter his
tactics, when the next door was opened
by a fearful looking female with a forbid
ding scowl and a few scanty gray locks,
he commenced alphabetically:
Il beg your pardon-I was about to
introduce a new and wonderful hair
dye, but see it would be something for
which you would have no use.'
The lady blushed and stammered, not
to say simpered:
mo, suppose not; but if it is good
perhaps it might be used for something
elsa brown dye, think you said. I
should like some good brown boot poll
ish."
The very thing; it is magnificent for
both purposes. Two shillings-thank
you" And Grigsby had no difficulty in
getting rid OF his hair polish. He never
says dye.

Properly Followed.

Sweeping, busting, .scrubbing and all
that must be done with the shoulders
thrown back, but as q rule the first thing
q woman does is to contract her shout
ders. Then she grows narrow chested
and walls over her shape lost in doing
drudgery.
When sweeping, especially, bear in
mind that one must stand straight. Then
grasp the broom, and instead of doing
work from the elbows down, as is so
commonly the case, let the strokes be
broad and firm, the strength coming
from the shoulders. It is enough to
bend the head to watch the broom; it is
quite unnecessary to stoop, so says the
Chicago Journal.
1t will take woman who has swept
for long time some practice to over
come the wrong way, and adapt herself
to the right, but she can. And after q
time she will find that her chest is broad

AS THE NOSE IS BENT"

nor make it red, inflamed or sore. But
at night, before going to bed, massage
the sides of the nose, lifting it and
pressing it into Grecian shape The
straight Grecian nose is the pretty
nose Of to-day. And the woman whose
nose turns up or down, or lies fiat, is
the woman who needs to put in lit
tie time massaging her nose.
Remember always that the cartilage
is soft and that you can flatten the
nose at blow. In the same way, you
can lift it and mold it into nice shape.
The eyebrows can always be made
nice, and in the case of a little child
the eyebrows are susceptible of much
treatment. They can be curved and
made as pretty as one would want to
see.

nEPRIVED for awhile Of the delights
of basking in the sunshine of Me-

J. wondering how I, the creature OF habit
whose every action had the sanction OF

futile plans by means of which I hope
to regain Melinda's favor.

said Melinda, raising her pretty eye

you know, but I never play now, nobody

But when / had mastered the brutali-

Housekeeper's Slate.

The housekeeper's slate is so useful
that it is q wonder it was not thought
of years ago. 1t will make suitable
and valuable gift to the bride. An older
housekeeper might be glad of one for
Christmas, and the gift, at the worst,
may prove a bit of kitchen missionary
work which is in most cases badly need
ed. Buy a good slate, one that is thick
and well-finished. Take of the slate
frame, If there is one, and have the
slate framed in an attractive plain fem
ish oak frame. Upon the back place
screw eyes, two for hanging, one for
stout cord for the pencil, and one for
another cord which holds a sponge.

New Species Of Potato,

A new species of white potato is be-
ing cultivated in France from q pecu-
liar variety found in Uruguay. It 10
believed that it is destined to replace
even the Irish potato. Originally a
very bitter tuber, the new vegetable
becomes, after three or four years OF
cultivation, an admirable food proauct.
Its yield is enormous and it Ia exempt
from maladies that attack the ordinary
potato. It grows best in moist soil, its
native habitat being the marsny shores
of the river Mercedes, In Uruguay.
Its flowers have a jasmine-like odo1.
and delicate perfume has alread,
been extracted from them. After ono
planting the species perpetuates itself
from the broken roots left in the

HOW TO DRESS THE HAIR.
The Pompadour Still with Us, But It
Il Not Worn So High a.
Formerly.

The couture is the puzzle Of the hour
to the feminine mind. Mime. ia Mode
has issued her edict that the pompadour
with the rat must go, save for the grande
dame with her white hair, patrician face
and velvet gown. But for once the FEM
mime world rebels.
The pompadour, properly dressed,
gives girl an air of distinction. Very
few faces can stand hair demurely part
ed in the middle and knotted low on the
nape Of the neck. AS result the really
clever girl works out compromise be-
tween the high dressed hair and the low,
while the girl who does not know how
to do the correct thing clings to her
pompadour in the front and drops her
back hair on the nape of her neck-a
combination which is startling, to say
the least, and leaves an ugly space be-
tween pompadour and knot.
One of the most pleasing compromises
shows the rat removed from the POM
padour and the front hair Marcelled just
as if the rat were to be used. 1t is then
parted on the side (and, by the way,
neither the right nor the left side is
obligatory; a girl must study her face
before deciding where to place the part,
then the hair is drawn back lightly and
knotted on the nape of the neck, but
not too low.
Sometimes no part appears, but the
pompadour, minus the rat, is waved in
three puffs. These puffs are not tight.
but the finger or comb is run through
them to secure light, fluffy, waved ef
feet. One puff is drawn down slightly
over the forehead, and the other two run
back from the temples, or, if the face
needs q different treatment, the three
puffs run around the brow like frame,
fluffed and waved so that they practical
ly overlap each other. With this dress
ing of the pompadour the hair may be
worn in fiat figure eight on top of the
head, or the waving may continue over
the crown and back Of the head and
be caught in with the back hair in
figure eight OF the nape of the neck.
This figure eight should not extend be-
low the junction of the collar with the
gown.

ening, and her whole poise is better in
stead of being worse.
busting is an exercise that will do as
much to teach a woman to lean properly
as any that is taught in a gymnasium.
Here again the thing to remember is that
any leaning must be done from the waist,
not from the shoulders.
In busting the furniture Of a whole
room many different pastures are taken,
and II q woman cares enough about her
looks to take little pains she can learn
q great deal about grace in bending side
wise and down.
Done from the waist and hips it will
develop the hips and give good waist
line.
One thing would say here is that q
woman cannot be too particular about
having the windows open, so that she
can get plenty Of fresh air while doing
housework.
The work is invigorating, and there
should be good air taken into the lungs
while they are supplying the body.
= Moreover, cleaning, of course, makes
a great deal of dust, and as much as pos
sible this should be driven into draught
and so out, that it may not be taken into
the system.
Scrubbing is one of the best exercises
for developing the muscles of the arms
and making the arms we'll rounded. 1t
also calls the shoulder muscles into play
and develops the chest so that hollow
neck will fiji out to pretty lines.
The lungs are given opportunity to ex-
pand and the whole frame benefits.

The cars were being pushed out and

If Charley had not said that all might

to contest the road with him.
At that moment Phoebe's voice floated

The car swung out into the road and
dashed off at good pace; which every
moment increased.
After a few minutes heard Charleya
machine snorting and changing behind,
and minute later heard him yelling
something. Melinda clutched at my
arm and shouted in my ear, but the
rushing wind carried her words away.

for it impeded my control of the ma

Suddenly, as If it had lost nerve, l felt
the car slacken. Slower and slower it
went, until I had hopes of being able to
take my eyes of the road and of giving
some attention to Melinda, who seemed
to be gradually recovering. Then of
it went again, and there were moro
gymnastic animals and policemen.

our enemies chance to catch US up.
