Proner Care of tha MALTA. Z

After clipping the corners, take a long
flexible file and shape the nail to an oval,
bevel the edges and after clipping and
shaping the nail soak in hot soap suds
until the cuticle is softened. Clean care
fully with the orangewood stick
1t Is much better to train the cuticle
so that 1t will not grow up around the
base Of the nail than to be obliged to cut
it. OF course, If 1t becomes broken or
ragged, however, 1t must be trimmed. In
drying the hands always rub the fingers
away from the tips. This will do much
toward keeping back the cuticle.
The nails now are cleaned and ready
to be polished. I cannot recommend
ready-prepared enamels and polishes.
Often these render the nails brittle. Take
an emery-b board and on 1t round and
smooth the edges of the nails. Then dip
a finger-the middle finger is best-into
the rouge Be very careful in applying
this that none is got on the cuticle or on
the fingers, for it's only purpose is to help
impart to the nail a transparent and
rose-petal appearance. The powder never
should be rubbed directly on the nail.
After using the buffer, II one cares for
high polish, a little OF the powder may
be placed on the side of the hand and the
nail rubbed in 1t. After polishing, take
a good stiff nail-brush and scrub the
finger tips with soap and water; then dry
them again, using the side of the palm
of the hand to polish them. If ones
fingers are short, the nails should be al
lowed to be fairly long, and made slight
ly oval This helps the fingers to taper,
and prevents them from looking fat If
the nails are corrugated use powdered
pumice, which can be bought at any
drugstore. Wet it with little glycerine.
put it into fiat dish to harden: and
then apply.
White spots on the nails generally are
caused by there being too much acid in
the blood, and corrugated nails arise
often from nervous ability. A small
quantity of olve-oil may be warmed and
rubbed we'll into the hands. Cold cream
rubbed into the hands helps to keep them
soft and white.
Manicuring the finger nails thoroughly
once Il week. and clean and polish them
little every day, will keep them in
healthy condition.
Although the skin on the hands and
arms Is of firmer texture than on any
other portion of the body, 1t Is subject
to much contraction and dilation, ac-
cording to the influences to which II is
exposed If the hands are washed in
very hot or very cold water and then
are Immediately exposed to the air, they
are liable to become chapped.
A good preventive against chapped
hands is to use little almond-meal In
the water when washing. This softens
and freshens the skin. AS a preparation
which has a similar effect and may be
applied with benefit when the hands are
chapped, the following may be recon-
mended Take half pound of good soft
soap, a gill of olive-oil and an ounce of
mutton tallow. Boil together until they
are thoroughly mixed. After the boiling
has ceased, but before the mixture Is
cold, add a gill of alcohol and a grain of
musk. Anoint the hands rather literally
Just before retiring and draw on a pair
of gloves, leaving them on until the
morning.

How to Breathe ProperIy.

Not one person in a thousand breathes
properly. Not one in ten knows how to
breathe properly. And yet it Is the oxy-
gen of the air that brightens the blood
and makes it life-giving. Children run
and romp and shout and laugh and cry.
They fl their lungs with air and empty
, them almost to the last inch, maybe
twenty times a minute If the play be
violent They do as nature demands. The
business man rides when he can, walks
when he must and exerts himself as lit
tie as possible. Very likely half the air
in his lungs remains unchanged for
hours maybe for days at time. He
breathes from the top of his lungs only.
The blood that Is being pumped into his
. lungs every second meets the langud

there is a deadened pulse a dimmed eye

I'VE get them from all over the world.
Only lately one of our inmates was a

diplomas from theological semlnaries,
graduates from Yale Pennsylvania,

We have had men who the second time

Other Causes for Fall.
"Our statistics show that 81 per cent
of our men last year were not drinking

brings a man to want. Gambling, dscon-
tent, lack of concentration, will also do it..

I think the chief reason why so many col

colleges are turning out more educated
men than there is a demand for OF

have no particular line cannot catch hold

when 1t comes to dissipation, the man
whdshas not passed through a university
or a college has a better chance to pull
together, in my opinion. The educated
man knows too many ways of getting Into
mischief nd once ON the downward

had wrecked him. He refused work, lost
his job drifted to New York, and sank
so low that he found it impossible to let
his family know his conditions. The Sec

the hospital, where he died before his
people could be notified.
Not long ago a graduate of a western
university came to New York with small
MEANS intending to take a postgraduate
course of study. The enticements of the
city caught him. his money vanished and
he finally turned to the branch for help.
With five diplomas In his pocket, he took

A rolliclxlng Irish law student who, to
use his own words, had taken a five
years "whirl at the BOOZE" drifted in one
night at the end of his resources, and
with a bottle of poison in his pocket. He
was persuaded to stop drinking and work
about the building. He pulled himself
together and now is doing well. 1t was
discovered later that he was the son of
an Irish clergyman. but he never said a
word about his antecedents.
