CARE OF THE FINGER NAILS.
Few Minutes Time Daily Will Keep
Them in Perfect Trim.

When it only takes few minutes
week to keep the nails looking nice
and we'll groomed it is surprising how
many people neglect the nails. In the
first place the hands should be
scrubbed once day to keep them
clean. Even people who have no man
ual labor at all to perform with the
hands will find that they will become
dirty from merely coming in contact
with the articles which every one must
handle. Wash the hands, especially
the knuckles and nails, with a nail
brush and warm soap sudS until they
glow and dry them carefully. Then
take piece of orange wood stick and
carefully loosen the cuticle around the
nails, being sure to get it all loose,
but not to use the stick roughly
enough to injure the young nail, for
this will produce the white spots
which are so ugly on nail. Then
with scissors and file shape the nails
carefully, making them round instead
of pointed. If there are any hang
nails they should be carefully shipped
away with the scissors, but if the
orange wood stick is used every day
there will be no hangnails. Then rub
tiny bit of vaseline on the nails and
rub it in well. Now cover the chamois
skin buffer with the powder polish and
rub the nails briskly until the desired
amount of shine" has been produced.
Then wash the hands carefully again,
pushing back the cuticle which you
loosened with the towel Now rub the
nails of one hand on the palm of the
other and the shine will reappear. Ten
minutes devoted to the nails each day
will keep them in perfect trim.

The kneII of the "Frou-Frou."

The time was when woman was un.

Broken Heart Led to Suicide.

New York.-Broken hearted because
the Children's society had taken from
her the infant she could not nurse and
was too poor to feed, Mrs. Mario ST.
caria, only 16 years old, killed herself
in the miserable room she and her
husband, laborer, occupied in Long
Island City.
The child-wife was so desperately
tired of life without her infant that
she tried suicide in three different
ways before she succeeded in ending
her existence. First she soaked a
bundle of sulphur matches in a glass
oe water and then drank the mixture.
Next she swallowed bottle of cheap
stuff used in cleaning clothing. Find
ing these of no avail, the woman shot
herself in the breast with her hus-
bands revolver, ran down the front
steps and died there.

in surprise. He sent for policeman,
thinking that the gray-haired man

John Barrett needed few dollars to

of securing it. INTERESTINGLY, he ac-
companied the policeman to the sta

the captain that suicide was far, far
from his mind.

was an absurd one. He points out
that many times college hospitals pay
$50 for bodies on which to experiment,
and the money would be more useful

A Mammoth Uncapping Box.

all round, nailed fast and pounded
down so as to make a smooth edge
and tight joint. At each corner is
nailed a piece of board as long as the
end pieces are wide at the middle.
These pieces furnish what might be
called legs, and keep the box firm in
an upright position. Each section is
furnished with handles made from
tugs cut from an old harness. There is
a honey gate at one end of the lower
section.
Here are some of the advantages
of this box, explains a writer in Bee
Keepers Review. The cappirgs can
be spread out over a large surface,
which allows the honey to drain out
much more freely than it does in
small box or can; there is not only
plenty of room to spread them out, but
they can be stirred occasionally with
a garden rake; there is room and a
place to hang the combs after they.
are uncapped where the drip will go
into the box, and they are in very
convenient position for the man who
has only to reach out with his right
hand and pull comb towards him;
there is room for three, or even more,
men to work at uncapping at the same
time; then their toes can go under
the edge of the box, which allows
them to lean against the side of the
box. The latter may seem like small
point, but it counts for lot in a long
days work. The box may be painted
black, furnished with a cover made
from sheet iron, when, if set out in the
sun, the heat will go up from 40 to
100 degrees, and practically all of the
honey will run out, especially if the
cappings are stirred occasionally.
The uncapping knives should be
kept as sharp as possible, and some
means provided to keep them in hot
or warm water. An extra knife or
two is an advantage, as it gives oppor-
tunity to exchange a cold knife for 8
hot one Knives ought to be as light
as possible, yet strong enough for the
work; and a support in the shank for
the thumb and finger is an advantage.

When She Refused to Accompany Him
He Threw Her Down Stairs.

He was apparently keeping tab with
police efforts to catch him, and the
trap failed to work.
Miss Evans is from Dumas, Ark,
and for the last few years she has
been teaching in the public schools of
that state.
The man known as Everington first
came into her life about three years
ago. He was a friend of her only
brother. They had worked together
in Texas, and when they came to Ar
kansas Everington went with his
friend to spend few days.
At the Evans home he met Miss
Alice, in the first bloom of young
womanhood. Her charms took him
by storm. Miss Evans says she never
encouraged his attentions, but he per-
sisted in forcing them upon her.
When Everington left he endeavored
to renew his courtship by correspond
ence. Boxes of candy found their way
to Miss Evans. Tender missives also
were frequent. To the letters Miss
Exams sent no reply. Receipt of some

Recently Miss Evans came to Mem
phis and entered business college.
She thought she had lost track of her
persistent wooer.
Everington followed her here and
saw her on the street Wednesday. He
called her up over the phone. Il am
Claude, tell her." he said to Prof.
Kirkpatrick, who answered the call.
Miss Evans fatty told Everington
she did not wish to see him.
His answer to the refusal was to
call in person at the business college.
Miss Evans left the main room and
asked Prof Kirkpatrick for protection.
He pretended to give her some dicta-
ton in an anteroom. Everington waited
around the building, lodging from one
door to another.
While Prof. Kirkpatrick was hear
ing a class, Miss Evans started out Of

He Refuses to Utter Word

Washington.-Be John Barrett,
Job was an irritable and complaining
person.

closely by misfortune all his life, tried
as few men have been tried, his faith
never has wavered, and although he
has been followed by a fate relentless

in little wooden cradle in an old
Connecticut farm house 65 years ago
the star Of hope shines as brightly for
him to-day as it did when he was a
youth of 20.
What's the use Of compiaining?"
he says, and the simple philosophy ex-
presses a depth OF patience and infin-
tie fortitude
Although driven to condition
where he offered to sell his body for
$50, when he saw dire want staring
him in the face, John Barrett uttered
no complaint. He simply accepts
things as they are. He gets along as
best he can, and when the worst comes
to worst, he just bows his venerable
head and says: 1T might be worse
there's no use of complaining" On
his mild and gentle face there is a
smile of resignation. He may not have
had a bountiful breakfast, but you
never would suspect it. The gentle
smile is always present.
He is too ill to work now, but with
that well-spring of hope that is with
in him ever bubbling, he feels that
soon the tide will change, that he may
be able to start some little business,
or that when congress convenes next
December some of the Connecticut
congressman may aid him to secure
a position.

Georgetown University hospital and

BAD EGGS BARRED.
How They Spot the Careless Farmers
in Denmark.

Although the average person has lit
tie chance to guard against bad eggs
in the United States, in Denmark they
apparently have solved the bad egg
problem. In that country there are
syndicates which control the egg i'm
dustry and it is their duty to keep tab
on the farmers who are in the habit
of shipping bad eggs to the market.
The headquarters of this egg syndi-
cate, of course, is Copenhagen, and the
members of it are the farmers them
selves The members of this egg syn
dictate throughout the country are pro-
vided with rubber stamps which bear
the serial number of the members
certificate as well as a number for the
egg Each egg is thus stamped with
the farmers name on it, with indelible
ink No eggs are accepted that do not
bear a stamp. So this stamp is a
guarantee of quality. When the eggs
are examined in Copenhagen, if they
are found to be bad the shipper re-
ceives notice and is compelled to pay
a fine averaging about one dollar of
our money. If he makes many ship
ments of bad eggs he is very quickly
expelled from the syndicate; thus all
bad and not perfectly fresh eggs are
either sold to the village grocer or
used at home. 1t has been found that
this system works admirably in keep
ing the open market stocked with eggs
that are guaranteed to be in good con-
dition. 1t is likewise stated by Off
GERS of the syndicate that very few of
the members have ever been delin-
quent with their fines.

FOR THE MAN WITH BEES.
An Uncapping Box Possessing Many

ton, that holds the cappings, is six
feet long, q inches wide and Is inches

ter to rest the frames upon when un-
Gaping the combs. The corners are
halved together in both sections.
There is cover that fits on bee-tight.
The bottom section is the same size,
only much shallower, the sides being
only five inches deep. The ends are
seven inches deep in the middle, but
are reduced to five at the ends. To
help support the screen above, a board
seven inches wide is placed lengthwise
OF the lower section. To the bottom
of this frame is nailed a sheet of gal
vanized iron six feet and one-half inch
long, and enough wider than the bot
tom so that an edge can be turned up

ln,nrovised Baby Bib.

There are often occasions, when one
is travelling or visiting for instance,
when one has no bib for the baby, and
the napkin which one must use will
not stay in place. 1t is unsatisfactory
to tie the napkin around the baby's
neck, for this leaves it bulky and un.
comfortable. If a small knot is tied
in one corner of the napkin and the
knot is slipped under the neck of the
cnild's dress, there will be no danger
of the napkin losing its position. The
knot must be slipped low enough so
that it does not come at the tight part
of the neck and thus prove uncom.

REGULATING a ChiId's Sleep.

1t is harder for a child to sleep in
summer than it is in winter, just as it
is for an older person, and this fact
should be remembered when you regu-
late the hours for sleep. The child
should go to bed at seven in the even
ing when the sun has gone down and
the air is cool and should rise at six
or half past six for his breakfast and
play out of doors until about H. After
his lunch he should sleep from IL I'M
til four and then play outdoors again
while the heat is less intense. This
should be the daily program of any
child between one and one-half and six
years.
