Pretty Finger Nails.

To have pretty finger nails it Is
necessary to keep them properly man
toured. The nails should be filed in a
curve which follows the shape of the
end of the finger. After the nails
have been filed the finger tips should
be held in hot, soapy water until the
cuticle is soft, when it may be easily
pushed back from the nail by means
of an orangewood stick. To give the
nails a delicate rose tint they should
be polished by applying some good
ointment or powder. In the interest
of pretty nails it is a good habit to
rub cold cream into the cuticle every
night, always rubbing the cuticle
away from the nails. Another little
habit is to always, when drying the
hands, rub the cuticle back with the
towel. These little habits help ma
terially to keep the nails in order and
greatly tighten the weekly manicur-
ing process.-Indianapolis News.

Vanished Floors.

When vanished floors have be-
come blackened in spots and there
arc numerous heel marks, they need
a standing finish, and must be treated
with extreme measures. The old fin
ish must be first removed, and when
the floor is revarnished see that the
liquid is of good quality, and that
several coats are given. A waXed floor
needs only another coat Of wax and a
thorough polishing. Grease spots
can often be removed with turpentine.
1t is best to remove spots from rugs
or carpets as soon as they are made.
Spots made by sticky substances may
be removed by sponging them with
alcohol and salt, a pint Of alcohol to
a teaspoonful of salt. Grease or oil
spots should be covered with wet ful-
ler's earth, and allowed to stand for
two days and then brushed off.
French chalk will remove fresh grease
spots. Cover the spots well, then
spread a brown paper yer them and
apply a moderately hot iron.-New
York Evening Post.

neighbors got their water from the
blue depths of the fine old "big
spring." Nevertheless, the big
spring" would likely last about sixty
minutes if it's waters were pumped
to supply a good-sized tank. So that
the first thing in considering a wind
mill for pumping is, have you"a good.
water supply to pump? A fine water
supply should certainly be recognized
as a most valuable asset, and the
question then arises as to its fullest
utilization. In many cases nothing
more economical than, a windmill can
be found for getting the water to the
surface and forcing it into a. tank
high above the surroundings. OF
course, there are power windmills for
grinding, etc., as wellas those rugged
for pumping, and an immense amount
Of hard work "a be accomplished by
these former.
1t is an inspiring sight to travel
through portions of Kansas and Ne
braska, and see the thousands Of
windmills, all spinning merrily in the
crisp western wind. Many a farmer
in the western part Of these States,
through his few acres irrigated by
wind pumped water, has bridged e
periods of drought on his new farm
and been able to stick it out until he
could get more thoroughly estab-
lished. Some of the mills improvised
by the early settlers are crude enough
but picturesque, nevertheless service
able under the strong prairie winds.
They may have been constructed EN-.
tirely of dry goods boxes, resembling
the paddle wheels of old stern wheeler
river steamers. Others look like big
pin wheels, and some have sails Of old
kerosene cans hammered out fat. In
the Arkansas Valley in Kansas, one
private pumping plant erected about
five years ago at a cost of $4,000, sup
piled water from the overflow of the
Arkansas River for one thousand
acres, and paid for itself the first
year.
The writer has a small, eight-foot
windmill on his Virginia place, and
this, under a good head Of wind, fills
a nine hundred gallon tank in the
attic Of the house in from two to three
hours. Continuous pumping does not
lower the water in the well, and with
the average run Of wind this tank
could be pumped full daily. With a
clay or other retaining reservoir Of
sufficient size to take all the water
from the windmill, enough storage
could be provided by this small plant
for the irrigation Of from three to
four acres.-Guy Elliott Mitchell, in
the American Cultivator.

Niagara Falls, N. Y.-To the grave
alarm Of the Reservation Commits
sioners and the horror of the people
Of both the American and Canadian
cities, Niagara Falls has gained no
toriety as a suicide resort more rap
idly this season than, it's fame as a
place of pleasure has grown in years.
Eleven violent deaths since July
have caused the State authorities to
consider seriously what further meas
Tres may be adopted to prevent de-
spondent persons throwing them
selves into the fascinating whirlpool
or seeking the enhancing beauties of
the isle-dotted cataract as the scene
for taking their lives by bullet or
poison.
The suicide of Mrs. L. D. Draper,
of Saginaw, Mich, by eluding the
vigilance of the guards and throwing
herself headlong over the rail into
the river above the American Falls,
impressed the growing problem on
Superintendent Perry and the COM
missioners. q
The woman's strange actions
caused the guards to suspect that she
was contemplating suicide, and when
she started to cross the bridge to
Goat Island at Z o'clock a. M, an
officer turned her back, giving as ex-
cuse that the reservation was not yet
open to the public. Other officers
we're warned Of the woman's peculiar
actions, and she was watched closely,
although none was impressed with
her grim determination to throw her.
self into the river.
Throwing off suspicion by hiring a
carriage, she returned to the reserva-
ton after the guards had directed her
toward the city. She concealed her
long black cloak and was able to drive
past the guards without being recog-
nized. Near the rivers edge she told
the driver to stop. Leaving the black
cloak in the seat she started to walk
around toward Prospect Point. Five
officers were within sight, but. none
recognized Mrs. Draper as the woman
of the long black cloak until she
started to u toward the protecting
railing. Then an officer shouted TO
her and started in pursuit.
He was too late. At a point where
the railing is at the cataracts edge
she threw herself headforemost into
the river and in an instant was car
ried over the precipice. Relatives in
Saginaw telegraphed a reward Tor
finding OF the body, but no sight: of 1t
had been obtained by nightfall.
Since July 1 five persons, three
women and two men, have been seen
in their death plunge, and three other
men, whose suicide was unobseTved,
have been found drowned in the
