TO REMEDY HARD BATH WATER.


And as we are talking about glycerne / may
as we'll point out one other way in which it
be used. It has often been said in these pages
that hardness Of water is responsible for various
injuries TO the skin. Sometimes il is not possi-
bic to distil water, and it may be very inconven-
lent to attempt the softening of water by those
methods which can ve carried out only on
large scale. Under such conditions try the fol
lowin plan:-Cut up ounce of sheet geatine
into small pieces. Place in Jug, and pour
cold water until the geatine is just covered After
some minutes rour on one pint of boiling water,
and stir the gelatine until dissolved Now add
one tablespoonful Of borax. and two ounces of
glycerine. Afto~ ONE stirring place the mixture
in jar with wide mouth. When cold it will
form thick Jelly One teaspoonful of this stir
red into quart Of warm water will render the
latter emollient; and even one teaspoonful to the
gallon will grt.ty lessen the injury wrought by
hardness Of water.
The suggestions are ORIGINAL Some enthusiasts,
grateful for good results affirm that teaspoon
full of this Jelly added to five or six gallons of
warm water whatever the character Of the latter,
makes the bath most pleasant. Opinions may diff
fer on this point, but at all events is dealing
with things t at are cheap and harmless: and
there can be no doubt that when the skin in
clines to roughness this very simply medicated
water is highly useful.
MASSAGE FOR TIRED EYES!
There is something infinitely soothing in this
when rightly applied All that is needed is the
power of using the fingers with infinite gentle
ness. The lids are closed and the "masseur"
using two or three fingers, passes them above and
below the lashes from the inner corner of the
eve outwards. The movement may be followed
by strokes over each eyebrow.
WHAT is THE STRENGTH OF MADNESS?
The muscles of maniac are stronger than

or madness The ordinary person ceases eff

person and the maniac take no count OF pam.
Their will is so strong and their insensitiveness
so great that they use a muscle to the point of
iniuring it; which means in effect that only the
very strong can conquer them. A weak woman,
fighting for her baby, has terrific strength.
