GOOD FOR TWITcHlNe HAND.
It's Said That the crappIe Swing VIII
Cure the Trouble.

Hand trembling, an affection akin
to writers cramp," is apt to result
from the long continued exercise OF
certain muscles and the neglect OF
others.
The worst feature Of the trouble,
according to Health-Culture, is its
trick of coming on at the very time
when steadiness Of hand would be
most desirable. The twitch Of map
flnisher's muscles may throw a ma
tional frontier 100 miles out OF
treaty line; type words may get glued
together like the nouns of the VIOLA
puk craze.
Hot baths afford only temporary re-
lief; drugs might as well be pre-
scribed to sufferers; but there is one
never falling mechanical specihc-the
grapple swing cure.
Procure a couple of iron rings-say,
five inches in diameter-and fasten
them high enough to keep the ex-
perimenter's feet off the ground when
he attempts to dangle by one hand for
a second or two. Practice will raise
his score to half a minute, and by the
time the tremors will have vanished
for the next half year.

Had the Ellie.

The following incident really hap
pened in well-regulated Boston a few
days ago: A young lady who tends a
manicure demonstration table was ap-
preached by a woman who seemed
very interested in the toilet articles.
While being told what each and every
article was for, she explained that she
had heretofore had no time to care for
her hands, but that she was going to
begin by purchasing an outfit at once.
She bought complete manicure set,
with the exception Of the flnger-nail
file. When asked If she wanted that
she replied: "Oh, no; you see, my hus-
band Is carpenter, and he has a fine
large rasp, which will do for that
nicely"

THE UNIVERSAL SLOT MACHINE.
ContrIVance was Known to Egyptians
Before Christian Era.

IAN English army officer, Col. Sande.
man, invented the penny-in-the-slot
machine" said an inventor. This ma.
chine now permeates our national life
as thoroughly as does electricity. We
have slot machine restaurants, NOV,
ing pictures, telephones, scales, shops,
saloons and so on. And yet this
slot machine idea is not new. It is
thousands and thousands of years old.
In several Of our museums there are
perfect devices of this kind taken
from Egyptian temples that existed
long before the commencement of
the Christian era.
THE Egyptian slot machine was a
covered stone vase for holy water.
There was a slot in it and a five.
drachm piece dropped into 1t caused
the cover Of the vase to slide back
smoothly, so that the worshiper could
take a little holy water, whereupon
the cover moved into its place again.
So. Col. Sandman deserves little
credit, since the Egyptians, and not
he, originated it. The credit really
is due to the late Percy Everett, of
New York, who was the first man to
perceive the machines possibilities
and to put it on the market"

ADDS TOMCNTANA'S WEALTH
Largest Sapphire Mine on Earth Is at
Yogo Gulch, in That State,
It Is Said,

The geological survey makes the
interesting announcement that the
sapphire mine at Yogo gulch, Mon
tana, is the greatest gem mine in
the world. The Yogo mine is four
miles long on the surface and de-
sends to an unknown depth.
The entire area of workable sap
phire bearing rock approximates TO-
100000 cubic yards. The stones found
are not of large size, ranging from
"culls," used for watch jewels, to
gems ranging from one to three car
ats in weight. They are sent to Am
sterdam for cutting.
The geological survey also notes
that never before in the history Of the
United States was there such a de-
mand for diamonds as during the year
1905. Large numbers were import
ed, and still the demand was not sat
isfled.
The political economists say that
when a nation spends a large sum
each year for precious stones its
people are in a prosperous condition,
and that the condition of prosper
ity may be quite accurately measured
from year to year by the amount Of
money devoted to Injuries of this
character. In 1905, it is said in gov
eminent reports, the people of this
country imported precious stones to
the value of $S4,99S,OOO, an increase
of more than $S,O0O,0OO over 1904.
The importations for the month of
December, 1905, s3,6OO,OOO, were
larger than for the entire year 1879.

An INTELLIGENT Admlrer.

An audience, especially a British
audience, best likes what it most thor.
oughly knows. An anecdote of Pad
erewski, and one which he particular
ly loves to tell himself, is illustrative
of this. At the close of one Of his
earlier recitals in London, in the days
when the great virtuso was not as
famous as now, a lady hammered at
the door of the artists room. She
must see Mr.. Paderewskl, she posi-.
lively must, she had something i'm

or less grudgingly allowed, and then
the important communication gushed
out. "Oh, Mr.. Paderewski, was so

GREEKS A RACE OF SAILORS.
Formidable Competitors Of British

While much public interest has
been shown in the recent celebra-
lions OF Roumanian independence aud
the revival of the Olympic games, no
attention seems to have been paid TO
development, which, curiously

has been left to the British vice con,

petitors of the British in the impor
tant shipping trade Of the Danube.

If one we're to visit every port in the

irony Of the vice consuPs story is to
be found in the fact that many of the
Greeks bought their ships by means
OF profits derived as chambers or run.

THEATRICAL BENEFITS OF OLE
Odd Reasons Assigned by Those For
Whom They Were Given.

From very earliest times stage per-
formances for the benefit Of charities
have been common. The first benefit
for an actress was awarded by James
l., who in this manner paid tribute to
the art of Elizabeth Barry.
Many and quaint are the announce
ments Of these old-time benefits. All
too frequent were such notices as
these: For some distressed actors
lately at this theater," and For the
benefit of a gentleman who has writ
ten much for the stage" In the early
part of the eighteenth century these
notices were more or less confessions
Of personal insolvency.
One actor, for instance, announced
a performance for the benefit OF my
self and creditors" and another took
the public into his confidence and ar
ranged a special night for the benefit
Of my poor relations" Still more con-
fding was the young actor who, stat
ing that his friends disliked his be
ing on the stage" organized a bene-
fit to enable me to return to my for
mer employment"

IMPORTANT TO NAVY YARD
New Entrance for Freight Cars Con-
templated to Facilitate Work
on Ships at Capital.

A matter of great Importance to the
authorities of the Washington navy
yard is now receiving consideration at
the hands Of the engineer commission
or Of the district, the Pennsylvania
Railroad company and the bureau Of
yards and docks Of the navy depart
ment, It is said. The matter in Ques-
ton is the proposed acquiring OF GER
tain lands lying Immediately east OF
the navy yard on the water front by
the government.
The necessity for the acquisition Of
this land has been shown by Capt e.
G. H. Leutze, commandant Of the yard,
and the other naval officers Of that es-
adjustment. It is to be used in con-
nection with the proposed change Of
route of the railroad tracks that enter
the yard now on the west side OF the
Enclosure.
without these tracks, 1t Is said, the
great and important work Of the naval
gun factory would be brought to a
standstill.
The change Of route is made nee
sary because of the new railroad tun-
mel in southeast Washington and to
avoid having a grade crossing, which
would be unlawful 1t is therefore
contemplated to have the tracks that
enter the navy yard approach the yard
from point half way between Penn
sylvania and Virginia avenues, to the
eastward Of the yard, and proceed
thence along a trestle along the banks
Of the eastern branch of the Potomac
to the extreme southeastern corner OF
the navy yard, where 1t is proposed
to make the point Of entry Of the rail-
road tracks.
In order to carry out this arrange
ment 1t will be necessary, the naval
officers say, to procure by purchase
two waterfront lots, which are now
said to be held at $121,O00 value by
their owners. 1t is proposed to secure
this territory by condemnation pro-
ceedings. The expense Of extending
the tracks along the river front to the
yard and of constructing the trestle
will be borne by the railroad company,
it is said. 1t is believed that congress
will appropriate the amount necessary
for the change when the great and inn
mediate necessities of the situation
are explained.
The proposed change Of route will
also necessitate many changes In the
network of railroad tracks within the
navy yard, on which is operated Uncle
Sans little line of railroad cars and
dinky engines, which haul the big and
little guns and ordnance equipment
for his great and growing navy.

Culture OF Bolivia.

La Paz, which is the center Of what
culture exists in Bolivia, is admit
ted by the authorities to contain 90
per cent, Of illiterates, and doubtless
the estimate Is as favorable as pos
sible. Several Roman Catholic
schools exist, where a narrow ele-
mentary education Is given; also a
university with various departments
including law. medicine and theology.
Several able physicians practice in
the city, but they were educated in
foreign schools. The theological de-
partment receives its crude material
from almost any source, and many OF
the priests are literally supplied with
Indian blood, some of them low
browed, immoral loafers, whom any
amount OF training would never con-
vert into men Of high ideals.

GooDLY PROPORTIONS.
A Squeezed-In Waist Ridiculous-H
Waist Is over-Large Bow

l have known about three women
with naturally small waists-really
small, bien entendu. Then nothing
ever looked prettier. But the woman
whose tiny waist u produced by any
degree of pressure whatever Is posi-
tive misery to me, unless she stands
or sits still. When she moves l want

plorable than the result would be?

anything in the way Of waist that
means corsets between 20 and 20
inches will do quite nicely. And, after
all, it Is not the actual inches that
really signify. 1t is the roundness Of
the waist, and the curves Of the hips,
the way the figure Is held in below 1t
and carried upright above it. that tells.
And where the waist comes, not too
long nor too short, that, again, Is OF
so much Importance. And the way In
which the figure "goes in" at the back
Of the waist, too. A great deal mat
tiers where waist is concerned. 90
If it is too large, be very careful
not to draw attention to it. Never let

found the old man as we rushed for

The recent annulment of railroad

very gratifying to the Chinese, and
is an earnest of national development
All will remember that the Chinese
government bought up the first rail
road built in China, from Shanghai
to Moosung, only to tear up the road
bed and destroy the equipment. It
is with very different purpose that
the purchase of the Hankow-C Canton

such exploitation may involve.-Cen-
