 The Japanese woman has a habit of resting her hands and although she is always busy she nevertheless gives them time to rest.
 one of the chief charms of the Jap anes womans hands is their color. They are a delicate brown, the color of the pale tan of sunburn. You might call them a soft ecru tint, and their beauty lies in the fact that they are all of one tone.
 The girl with the sunburnt hands can take heart of grace. for she has in her possession that which may be- come her greatest charm if sine will take the trouble to even the tone of her hands. She must make the sun burn regular and beautiful. If per

 If one wears the wide mandarin coat or kimono with it's spreading sleeves. one must have hands that are in keep ing with the picture qualities of these garments. A pair of freckled. wrin- kled. nervous American hands will never in the world look well when framed in these oriental adornments.
 To acquire good hands is not such a difficult matter The fingers should curl like the petals of a flower. Along the back Of the hand there should be a row of dimples and not a knuckle should be visible. The nails should not be very long and very oval and tinted in the very tips.
 All this sounds difficult to the wo- man who has let her hands go wrong, but in d few days. so the hand cultur- ists say. the hands could be restored tO their normal beauty.

Though present day men show no desire to return to the plumes and laces of cav alier days. the fact Is realized that a well-dressed and, above all. a properly dressed man, Is a commercial asset not only to himself. but to his employers. To be well dressed does not mean to be got up regardless. any more than il does to ape the flop. Herewith are a few hints that may prove valuable:

Trade Talks. The Structural honworker.

One of the trades that have obtained f.c greatest importance within recent years Is that of the structural iron worker-a trade born Of the steel sky sctaper. the steel bridge and all building operations in which steel Is the fGnda- mental material. It follows that. as steel Is growing supreme In all pratentous building construction. the demand for men in the structural iron trade, except in the depth Of winter. continues great.
 The ironworker, riding a steei beam high In air or perched with his pneu- natic hammer on the twentieth story of c skeleton skyscraper, has quite naturally come to be regarded as being In one Of the most dangerous of trades and one that hes the highest mortality. This Is not borne out by stntistics-and Is probably due to the fact that all accidents In this trade are spectacular. It is. of course. tue that the workman who is careless will find death here quicker than any where else from falls.
 Two virtues of the trade lie in the fact that apprenticeships are short and the wages paid while learning are compara- lively high. Men who feel that they are too old or have too many family expenses to start as an apprentice ard learn tnnde. may find an opportunity here.
 Apprentices usually range in age from 21 to 25 years of age and are paid about 25 cents sn hour for an eight hour day under favorable conditk.ns. In many cases the hours are slightly lower and the wages spaller. yet the weeks en- veIope of the iron workers apprentice Is usually fatter than his fellows ID other trades.
 He has also the privilege of taking examination after serving only two nonths-though usually apprentices walt SIX months before undergoing this ordeal.

The British Museum contains books written on oyster shells. bricks. tiles. bones. ivory. lead iron, sheepskin and palm leaves.
 England spends s1o.Ooo. 900 a year re- pairing highways on that little Island. Yet France has the best roads of any country in the world.

 New Zealand. which has an official death rate of a trlfie less than twelve persons in the thousand of population. must rank as one of the healthiest coun- tries in the world.
 England was first in the worlds trade until 1898. In that year the United States for the first time took the lead of the entire world. beating Great Britain by s1OO.OOo.oO0 on trade totals and we have since always kept in the van of commercial rivalry.

Growth by Billions.

We say we are prosperous and gloat lovingly over the fact. but even the student of facts and figures may well be staggered by the figures that indicate the immense interests under community of control. For instance. If deposits In the national banks of the country have swelled from $1.9J0. .OOO.O0O in 1895 to s5.- OOO.OoO.000 ten years later-the fact tells concrete story nf the country's progress The number of national hanks have near ly doubled In this period. which Is with in the memory of everyone.

 The American woman Who goes to work upon her hands with a stick of wood is apt to use more vigor than discretion. She presses the stick too firmly into the base of the nail and the result is that she makes a big white scar which forms itself into a white spot on the nail.
 Worry makes veins upon the back of the hands. The Japanese woman wears loose sleeves and her armhOles are loose. so that her hands never grow livid like the hands of the woman whose armholes are too tight and whose neck is compressed.
 The hands are generally pretty mp to the age of %. but at 90 a change be- gins to take place. The knuckles get big. and the fingers begin to twist This means that the hands are growing old.
