A Generation Ago

A Generation Ago
An old lady was to be seen working con-
stantly on the Indian patterned cotton
handkerchiefs which elderly men still use'
toning down the too brilliant colors, IN
PRODUCING touches Of gold and silver thread,
employing all sorts Of silks and all manner
of stitches and turning out handsome and
quaint squares Of the most oriental mag
nificence by the time the bandanna was
completed.
This sort of work is admirable for elderly
eyes and fingers, as 1t really does not mat
ter much how it is done; there is no intri-
cate design to be followed. and new effects
always can be tried when the worker Is
bored and colors and materials chosen at

The Best Means

OF inducing deep breathing is rapid walking
or running Special gymnastics also are
useful for the same purpose. Any form Of
exercise which quickens respiration will
encourage deep breathing.
In normal breathing the principal move
ment Ii at the waist. It Is not only tho
chest which should increase In size, but the
whole trunk as well. AZ the diaphragm
contracts 1t moves downward. occupying a
part Of the space formerly occupied by the
stomach. liver and other organs. These are
pushed down. The farther. the diaphragm
can be drawn into the lungs. When the
lungs are filled to the utmost capacity. as
In full respiration. the chest first expands
at the waist and then In It's upper part.
In filling the lungs the diaphragm Is
forced downward in opposition to the alb
dominal muscles. The chest empties largely
by the elasticity or contraction OF the ab-
domdnal muscles which resist the dia-
chest At each contraction OF the dia-
phragm the liver, stomach and other alb
dominal organs are impressed between the
diaphragm and the abdominal muscles. The
blood which they contain Is thus forced
into the chest cavity and quickly finds Its
way to the heart to be again distributed
throughout the body.
Deep breathing is of the highest impor-
lance In maintaining the health OF the
stomach. the liver and other abdominal Or
gans. When deep. forceful respiration does
not occur the blood stagnates and disease
results Deep breathing means strength
and health.
Look After the Nails-
The ugliest nails can be improved by TAX
Ing the trouble to push back the hard skin
that grows at the base of the nails. This
should be done after the hands have been
washed in warm soap and water and are
still moist. A soft towel IL the best thing
to use for the purpose. or an ivory or bone
implement, such as 10 sold in manicure

pleasing change from those made in the

Has Done Good Work for Mexico.

Judge Delavan A. Holmes. general
agent of large packing interests in
this country has been travelling in
Mexico. In his opinion President
Diaz will go down in history as one
of the greatest statesmen of the age.
when Diaz was elected twenty-five
years ago." says Judge Holmes,
Mexico was heavily in debt and the
republic was on the verge of disrup-
ton after years of misgovernment.
Now all is peace and prosperity, due
almost entirely to the efforts of Gen.
Diaz. The school system especially
is a surprise TO American visitors.
There is a law for the compulsory
education of children in ordinary
branches. after which the pupil may
get an education in the National
university-all at government ex-
pense."

Has Done Good Work in China.

One of the most interesting women
visitors in this country in many years
is Lady Hart, an English woman who
has given time and fortune to the
work of the Chinese mission schools
of Hongkong. Throughout the war
Lady Hart remained at her post and
continued her good work of instruct
ing the Chinese into some idea of
modern sanitation. She is not
proselytiZer and though nominally the
mission is for the spreading of Chris
tianity she gives most of her time to
instructing women and young girls in
principles OF morality and domestic
science. She reports a rather con-
fused notion on marital obligations
and on the commandment which deals
with the taking of what belongs to
another, but on the whole she finds
the work compromising She is on
her way to London, where she will set
foot for the first time in almost ten
years.

Enaineer Has Fine Record.

Thomas Ridley of Pittsburg. for
merly an engineer on the Pennsyl-

two years ago. When Andrew Carne-
gle was a poor young fellow Ridley
helped him once or twice and the two
have been close friends for many
years. "Old Tom" as he is called,
visited the multimillionaire recently.
The latter presented him with a book
on the flyleaf of which is the inscrip-
ton, "Old Tim Ridley. one of my first
and one of my best friends. One of

Nine. Loubet Is Popular.

Nine. Loubet, the wife of the presi-
dent of the French republic, is a typi-
cal Frenchwoman, and has become,
since her arrival at the Elysee, ex-
ceedingly popular. Nine. Loubet has
the strong maternal instinct which
always distinguishes southern
Frenchwoman; she is fond and
vigilant mother and is often met
walking about in the neighborhood of
the palace with her youngest son.
From the first she has taken special
interest in all those charitable insti-
buttons designed to benefit the chill
dren of the poor and the orphans of

Premier Thirty Years.

Richard Seldom, whom Sir William
Harcourt once congratulated on hav-
ing discovered the valuable secret of
perpetual power" has just won at the
general election in New Zealand He
is now in his thirtieth year of unin-
terrupted premiership. Mr.. Seldom
was only eighteen years old when he
sailed from Liverpool as a steerage
passenger to seek his fortune in Aus
tralia. On landing in Melbourne he
found employment in the local gov
eminent railway workshops, and
there he remained for some years
until he was attracted with many
other Australians to the newly dis
covered gold fields on the west coast
of New Zealand There he came TO
the front as a diggers' advocate, was
elected to the local municipal council,
became mayor, then NJ. p, then min
lister of mines and finally the per-
petual premier that he is to-day.

Iono Ranoe Electricity.

From the Victoria falls to Wit
watersrand, a distance of 700 miles,
engineers propose to carry electrical
power to mine South African gold.
They are convinced the plan will be
commercially successful. especially as
the dry climate Is most favorable,
while there is no ice in the rivers to
interfere with the working of the tur-
bines and no snow to break down the
transmission lines. It is estimated
that in the driest season 100000
horse power could be developed. The
available head Of water is about $50
feet, but head of 1000 feet could be
obtained by engineering works of a
comparatively light type. This would
produce about 1,00O,0OO,000 horse
power. At present $l5.O0O,OOO is
spent annually on the Rand for
power.

GROWING IMPORTANCE OF MICA
Essential in Electrical Apparatus and
Has No Substitute.

Mica is a mineral with a mission.
It is an essential in electrical apparat-
us and has no substitute. IL is pro-
duced especially in the land where
every prospect pleases." India en-
ploys more persons in mica mining
than any other, and the area covered
by mica deposits is the largest known,
yielding in 1902 6S5 tons from 200
mines. The system followed is to
open cuts along the outcrops of the
mines where mica crystals are found,
and TO alternate with crosscuts at
right angles through the vein forma-
ton. The material is raised to the
surface by rows of native women plac-
ed along the inclined opening, who
pass buckets filed with mica from
hand to hand, or pitchers filled with
water for draining the works. The
rough sheets are crudely trimmed by
knife, done up into packages. and
carried by carts to the shipping
points. The wages paid are scarcely
union labor rates, the women getting
six cents a day. the men eight, and
the oversers sixteen.

Wireless Power Transmission.

Wireless power transmission is
prophesied by one of the progenitors
of the wireless telegraph system. The
history of wireless electricity is to be
but repetition of the wire system.
First crude signals. then intelligence
conveyed over the wires, next speech,
and lastly power. AS soon as the
wireless telegraphy is a little more
improved he expects to bring out a
system of telephoning without wires
which will come into general use.
After that the transmission OF power
through the air without wires will
follow. 1t will come just as surely as
It did in wire electricity. He is work
ing in that general direction now and
can in a sort of way see the end of
the development

gresham who has just been present

half a dozen drinks in his life. Mr..
Sulzer is wont to recall celebration
while he was speaker OF the New
York state assembly. Senator Ed
munds OF Vermont on that occasion
was a principal speaker and before he
began his remarks he had caused the

CHINA SURPRISING THE WORLD.
Civil Service Reform the First Of
Many to Come.

A year of so ago the world heard
that the Chinese civil service was to
be recognized on modern basis.
The world thought it a good joke.
Still later the news went forth that
the old lady was taking steps pre-
paratory to setting up parliamentary
government. Still the world laughed.
Now comes the word that the first
mentioned reform is actually in OPP
Grafton. The civil service eXamina-
tons for this year deal not with Chi
nese classics but with the most prac-
tical of live problems. Candidates
will be asked, among other things, to
state how the resources of China can
best be developed; to describe the
educational systems of western coun-
tries; to speculate on the hearing of
the Siberian railway and the Panama
canal upon Chinese interests; to eX-
plain the meaning of free trade and
protection and TO describe Herbert
Spencer's views on sociology. A year
ago a man who would govern a prov
ince, run a railroad or tend a draw
bridge had only to know his Confu-
cius. The contrast is startling

CASTOR OIL AS A LUBRICANT.
Has Many Qualities That Make II
Best for the Purpose.

Castor oil as lubricant is in eX-
tensive use in some countries. In
Australia. which imported 1898 gal
Ions in 1898, the chief use of this oil
is officially stated TO be as lamp oil,
and the decline in imports in 1902 to
less than 500 900 gallons is attributed
to the substitution of petroleum for
the castor oil. It may also be noted
that in the Cape of Good Hope, where
the oil is probably largely used for
the same purpose, 307,72S gallons
were imported in 1902. To a limited
extent this oil is used for lubricating
purposes in the United States. AS
is well known, the mechanical func-
ton of lubricating oils is to form a
coating or cushion between rotary
surfaces, thus keeping them free from
contact and preventing loss of power
through friction. To this purpose
castor oil, being heavy bodied, WIS.,
