Care of the Arms.

Pauline.-To be kept soft the arms need soap and fine towels quite as much the face does. A skin food, that Is to say cold cream. is also an essential and should be applied at least once day. A bath brush will be found good for fric- ton tends to smooth the skin. Tepid water Is better than either extremely hot or cold and the best quality of soap is none too good.
 Roughness is not infrequently caused ny carelessness about drying the arms after a bath.
 An arm that blushes, and I have seen many perform this distressing trick, is generally traceable to a tight glove, d tight sleeve, shoe or corset. Nowhere as with the hands and arms does an out ragged circulation so soon take its re- venge.
 Habitual redness Is a different matter, and Is generally to be treated with a good cream. very good home remedy Is to rub 1t daily with equal parts of almond paste and honey. Massage cream or skin food will do equally well.

The bath of the August meteors shown

The path of the August meteors shown of the bright comet of 1862; indeed 1t is nearly certain that this comet is only the densest part of the swarm It is known that when a comet is forced by the pull of one of the planets to revolve in ! closed orbit around the sun, it will be gradually torn apart by so-calfed tidal action and spread out along it's path. In the course of time it will become merely q long uniform stream with but little con densation at any point. The stream of the August meteors is much longer and less condensed than that of the meteors of November 1t is therefore believed that the comet which formed the former stream entered our solar system very long time ago.
 It would be matter of great inter- est to obtain the remains of some of these shooting stars, and so to actually examine the materials of which comets are composed. It is probable that each particle is so small that 1t is entirely burnt up and only finally reaches the' earth as an impalpabe meteoric dust. This dust has been searched for, both by deep sea dredging and by melting great quantities of polar snow, and in this way minute globules of iron have been found. But 1t Is as yet uncertain whether these are of meteoric origin or whether they have merely been elected from the volcanoes of the earth.

SOUTH.

jects. The first of these is the remark able variable star Algol at a Fig. l. This usually shines out as second magni- tude star, but at a regular interval of little less than three days it suddenly loses five-sixths of it's light remaining faint for twenty minutes and then slow ly' regaining it's original brightness. Algol is made up of two great suns whose diameters are slightly more than one million and about eight hundred thou sand miles respectively, but one of these suns is comparatively dark. At perfectly regular intervals the dark sun passes between us and the brighter one. and the light of the latter is nearly all cut off. Eclipses will occur on August II, at five minutes past F; on August 17. at six minutes before 10, and on August 20. at forty-three minutes past T.
 Above Persues is the bright group Cassiopoea, the Lady in the Char, and above this the faint Cepheus. of which the bright star at D Is a very beautiful double. Then comes the beautiful north ern cross E. r. H. K. lying exactly in the milky way and now almost overhead to the west of which is the Harp with the magnificent blue star Vega at L., and the two doubles at M. and N., the first of which is a remarkable quadruple system of suns. At the point P on the straight line R. T. and one-third of the distance from R Is the Ring Nebula, which in a small telescope Is seen a small greenish. hazy ring of light.
 Below the Harp is the arrow. of which the weather Is at and and the point at z. and east of this the curious little group of the Dolphin. which is some times known as Jacobs Coffin. The stars at V and Y are pretty doubles in small telescope.

About the Hair.

NJ. M.-The first essential to healthfnl growth of the hair is cleanliness. Too much water-particularly soapy water has a tendency to wash out the nat ural oil of the scalp and so weaken the roots The best method of keeping the hair clean and sweet is to use good stiff brush we'll and regularly. The hair should be carefully parted in sections and brushed from the very scalp, out to the ends with smooth. even strokes. If this is done, then once a month Is quite often enough for washing.

Throughout this month and September the early evening sky is filled with the typical summer consultations. The last of the winter groups to finger with us was the lion, which in the beginning of August is just sinking from view in the northwest, and it is not until October that the magnificent Tauraus, the first of the long train of brilliant winter stars, will appear. Many of the most interest ing consultations lie along or in the summer branch of the milky way, which now forms a beautiful arch spanning the whole heavens from the north to the south

Line Of instruction.

Part two of the instruction is divided into elemntary and advanced work. In cluded in the elemtns of office work are the care of desks and office furni ture. answering indicator calls and the care of messages, the use of telephone and switchboard. and instruction in all methods of letter copying and letter. book indeXing. Incidentally, stress is laid on personal appearance. neatness cleanliness, carriage and address, as well as courtesy and politeness in re- ceiving visitors. No boy who gets through the course is likely to receive the card of business caller with fingers that leave huge smudge on it. or tell one of his employers friends to "G'wan, the boss aint in" The ad- vanced work includes all systems of letter filing and file indexing, instruc- ton in manifolding and the various duplicating machines, mailing desk work. shipping desk work in its vari- ous phases, cash ier's department work with instruction in banking routine, and general office routine, with elemen- tary bookkeeping and simple commer eial correspondence.
 Business men have shown even more interest in the office boys school than the boys themselves. As a consequence many more places were offered to grad uates of the school during the past year than the limited number of boys could possibly fill and the unplaced boys who completed the course all had a choice of several good positions. The other boys who were already employed ma terially bettered tn cir positions, and in some cases they were able to triple their salaries while taking the course.

The Average Boy.

"All the average boy could expect ten years ago." he said. was an elementary school education. Then the boy was ready for the office. Nowadays. practically all the better boys go to High school, or take up some sort of special training. By the time they get through that they can command something a step higher than the ordinary office boys job. So that the cream of the yearly output of boys never become office boys"
 The degeneration of the office boy has led to Re appearance of the office girl, U who A clean and neat, and, In business ,parlance, very much on the job. She is increasing in numbers every day. EX- aminations for office girl now have q regular place on the local civil service list, and she is satisfactorily doing her work in many city departments. The girls show a keener disposition to improve themselves for advancement than their brothers, and they do not care to absent themselves for baseball games. Perhaps in time the office girls will crowd out the office boys altogether.
 The demand for office boys who know something about an office has led to the establishment of an evening training school for office boys by the West Side Young Mems Christian association. which seems to be filling a long felt want. The instruetioneis designed to turn out polite, reliable and promotable youngsters as of- flee assistants.
 Part of the instruction consists of such elementary things as business arithmetic, spelling, correspondence, business Eng fish and commercially geography, with em- phasis on the geography of New York City.
 This course is designed to meet the need of business men who find them selves unable to procure boys familiar with ordinary business nomenclature and lawyers, handicapped by office as sistants ignorant of the whereabouts of any of the courts or how to get to them.

Boys In Plenty.

Boys enough there are, then, but bus mess men lament the passing of the old fashioned office boy, who, as a type, is taking his place with the dodo and the mastodon. He was the boy who came early and stayed late, who dusted, swept, scrubbed, cleaned the windows, filled the inkwells, and, In short, was chamber maid and waitress and office assistant all in one. If there was an errand 10 be run he was there and back in q jiffy He apparently had mother who kept him immaculate in all details, from finger nails to shoes. He said "Yes, siry' instead of sure" and, incidentally, he could add and write a flair round hand and had a working Knowledge of geography. He rose rapidly from the of flee boys job, and of course, married the boss's daughter and became head of the firm in time
 This paragon of q lad, according to bus mess men, has passed. Of course busi- ness conditions have changed, too. The windows in a modern business house are cleaned by the window cleaning trust, tho offices are scrubbed and cleared up by armies of scrub ladies'" The average boy has a habit of getting down to the office after the boss and his eagerness to leave early is only equalled by his gross ignorance of the uses of ordinary office apparatus. The mortality among his relatives during the baseball season is something stupendous. And he must be constantly adiured by his employer that soap and water are good things for the health
 This is the indictment that the average business man brings against the average office boy. But there is another side to the story, as a prominent department head in the public school system pointed

A SCHOOL FOR TRAINING

New York, July 2.-In about one month. with the ending of the summer season. the metropolis will be crying for bOOOO office boys the old-fashioned kind preferred. Each year the cry for boys that goes up from the skyscrapers be- comes more insistent New York s greedy business maw gobbles up some 70,6O0 youngsters a year as office boys, and though there are just about enough boys to supply the demand, business men com plain that to secure the right kind of boys is a very difficult matter indeed.
 It is q curious fact about New York's great army of office boys that a very small proportion of them are graduates of the public schools. The schools grad nate less than 10000 boys q year, and fully Ealf of these enter the high schools to equip themselves for business or other careers, so that probably not more than 1000 of these annual graduates become office boys. The average age of these young business men Is IA years, 6 months.
 Of the residue of the annual contingent of office boys, the great majority are youngsters who. for some reason or other, have been compelled to drop out of school before completing the course
