Remarkable Watches.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
 man in Switzerland has just made a watch entirely O. ivory obtained from an old billiard ball Works, hands and case are all of the same material. And yet it keeps good time.
 The first photographic watch was made in Paris in 1897. 1t was large and heavy. but was regarded as a great curiosity nevertheless. Now, however, watches that speak the hours in place of chiming them are not at all uncommon.
 They are still somewhat bulky as com parted with the best ordinary modern chronometers, although not so much so but that they can be easily carried in an ordinary waistcoat pocket.
 Beneath the crystal back of valuable chronometer owned by an English trades man six tiny gold and silver fish with ruby eyes are seen apparently swimming about in real water The fish, infinitely small, are beautifully modelled and the effect of movement in their natural ele- ment is due to C combination of hair springs with a background of quick silver.
 Far more wonderful because of It's small size is the watch owned by the Czarina of Russia, originally presented to the Empress Elizabeth on her coronation.
 At the back is inset an exquisitely beau tlful little model of the holy sepulcher, over which is seen standing, stern and motionless a Praetorian guard
 This is viewed through the crystal of the case. On opening 1t the imitation stones roll away from the mouth of the miniature vault the sentry kneels rever- ently. angels appear at opposite sides of the opening and at the same time there Is played. softly and sweetly, the music of one of the sacred Easter songs beloved by all orthodox Russians
 Tie watch weighs only seven ounces but the market is said to have worked at 1t almost uninterruptedly nine years
 One of the most treasured ornaments of q London star of burlesque is an ex- quisitely pretty little blouse watch which play couple of selections from the "trhe Belle of New York The watch is key less so far as it's ordinary mechanism is concerned. but a tiny key has to be used to start it playing. The music is low in tone, but very sweet and clear.

 Masticate well. Five minutes or so longer at dinner may give you better use of an hour afterwards.
 Care should be exercised not to snarl the hair while comblng 1t. The finer it is the more care should be taken.

 Don't fail to massage and knead the hands, always using an emollient, as this will keep the hands soft, white and pliant
 One is apt to shrink from needed ex- ercse when one is tired. A warm bath will do much to restore weared mus cles Try it.
 As a substitute for calomel give lem on trial In families where lemons are plentifully used cases of fever are almost unknown.
 Sleeping under heavy bedclothes is very injurious to the health, as it weakens the body, and also tends to exhaust rather than benefit one.

If You Would Be Plump.

Freedom from care and anxiety is an essential, while ten hours sleep nightly is absolutely necessary to the woman who wants to be plump. The diet should in- clude plenty of starchw foods, oysters, vegetables, butter, cream, potatoes, fish, etc. Olive oil can be used with splendid results both inwardly and outward ap- plcation. Three tablespoonfuls a day, taken clear, is a wonderful fattener but those who cannot take the clear oil can add a little lemon juice or vinegar A massage weekly with olive oil, such as Is given at the Turkish bath houses, is ex- cellent. If the oil rub is followed by an alcohol rub, the oil will not rub off on the clothing. Exercise moderately Don't walk when you might as well ride and don't ever let nerves get the upper hand, for worry does more harm than one can imagine
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-03-31
Dressinu the Hair.

A fashionable way of dressing the hair is the Roman braid. Make slight pom padour, parted at the side. Platt the hair loosely and wind it around the crown of the head. You can add. if you wish, either on the outside or inside of this braid, row of tiny finger curls, which many women now wear, and which are sold by hairdressers on little string.
 Another fashionable method Is to tie the hair at the very top of the head after the pompadour is made, then separate 1t into two parts and roll each over the finger in the same direction into long puff. Catch this down to the head and wear only one comb.

Troublesome BIackheads.

I have become very much interested of late in the articles I read on beauty" and "health," and as I am in sore need of your advice, will you kindly tell me something that will take black heads out of my nose. l have tried everything I ever heard of and they are as bad as ever. I also have brown blotches on my face Will you tell me how to remove them and I shall be very grateful. Very respectfully c. 10. M.
 Look at the digestion, and bar all rich and indigestible food. If taken in time, blackheads may easily be eradicated. Fol lowing is a good lotion, which should be shaken and then sponged on the affect ed parts: Carbonate of magnesia, one dram; zinc oxide, one dram; rosewater, 4 ounces. Soften the skin by washing in hot water. Then press out with the fin gers each blackhead. Never use the finger nails in this operation, as they may cause injury to the skin. Protect the tips of the fingers with layers of soft linen rags. Afterward apply a good cold cream.

About Chest Development.

Deep breathing will help in developing the chest. Every morning upon arising take in at least 50 deep breaths. holding each while you count ten, at night be- fore retiring do the same thing, after wards massage well with good cream, and three times a day take Willard Whites Vaucaire Galega tablets. Drink plenty of cold water. avoiding all drinks containing acids, and within month the bust measure will have increased to the extent of several inches

A Paragraph on Massage.

Mile. Merlyn:
 Will you kindly give me information for massaging the face. l am not able to go to a specialist as often as l would like ana will be grateful for any informa- ton you will give me.
 MRS. C. D. c. To attain the best results, first cleanse the hands thoroughly with soap and water, dry them and apply alcohol or toilet water. This cools the fingers and renders them firm for the work. Cleanse the skin of face and neck with a com- plexion brush and good pure warm water, to remove all dust and foreign matter from the skin and open the pores Then apply Melorose cream, which should be gently rubbed in with light massage of 10 to 15 minutes duration for each part.
 Massaging may be continued for a month or more as required, but the cold cream jar should always be at hand

His Tail Was Gone.

From the Denver Post.
 Two small boys were harnessing a black and white cur dog to a two-wheeled cart out on Broadway yesterday when a man stopped to watch them. The dog was minus it's tail. "Is he well traned?'' asked the man.
 Pretty well" replied one boy.
 What breed is he?"
 Dunno"
 Hasn't he a pedigree?'
 The boy hesitated moment. He didn't understand Then great light came over him.
 "Oh. mo-" he said. Tt was cut of by street car when he was pup"
