When Ii. Almanac orIalnatsd.

The origin of the word almanac" is
derived from the Arabic words al and
manah-to count-and thus aptly ap-
plies to the measurement Of time. Al
manacs in ancient days Here employ
ed by the Alexandrian GIteks. but 1t is
uncertain when they were actually in
troduced into Europe.
In 1150 A. d. Solomon Jarchus pub
lished an almanac. but the first print
ed one was brought out in Vienna in
1857 by the great astronomer Purbach.
The most celebrated almanac maker
was the dabbler in magic, Nostrada-
mus. aud since his time almanacs with
predictions have been In vogue, and
their weather lore and pictorial proph.
ecies have invariably appealed to a
large number Of people who are apt to
put answering belief in the cryptic
remarks Of Zadkiel and Old Moore.

WOMANKIND
TO PLEASE "MERE MAN"
What q Woman Must DO to Win HI'
Admiration.

What q Woman Must Do to Win His
Admiration.
The woman that man admires must
not be masculine and yet be brave and
active. never moping and languid.
She must be frolicsome, but never
reckless. She must be saucy. but nev-
er sarcastic.
She must be witty. but never rude.
Above all, she must be strong, robust
and healthy.
Always ready is she to do whatever
man suggests and to go anywhere he
fancies, not too ready, however, with
her own suggestions and desires.
But-and here is the real man-she
must have all these sug. estions. abso-
lutely without Jaw, hidden away In
the recesses OF her mere feminine
brain.
She must smuggle the ideas over into
the mans mind in some telepathic way
so cleverly that he will glory in being
the first thinker.
Woman must wear the short skirt
and shirt waist when occasion de-
mands and have a disdain for frills
and rufiles. but these same furbelows
must be forthcoming at the evening
function, else my lord is highly dis
pleased
The damsel must firt without seem
ing 10 do so and must hear a lot Of
pretty things which. IL necessary. mus
be forgotten Immediately. Yet may
she look as If the speeches had sunk
deep into her soul.
All these qualities and many more
men admire in women. Very modest
of them. to be sure. and perfectly ra
tlonal If they can in return offer few
Of the perfections they exact.
Have they qualities. mental or phys
icsl, to equal their demands7

The Bathing Dress.

For women neat bathing dresses OF
dark blue serge made with a short
skirt and bloomers are the conven-
tional thing. but as cotton allows the
water to penetrate to the body more
readily than wool this material is even
better If the bather does not object to
looking draggled on emerging from the
water and does not sit about on the
sand dripping and chilled. Wet cloth
ing should always be removed imme-
diately on coming out from the bath
and the body rubbed briskly with a
rough towel to keep up the circulation.

Substitutes For Sea Baths.

II it is impossible to visit the ocean
good substitute for its water may be
made by dissolving In the water Of an
ordinary tub some OF the sea salt sold
in small bags at the druggists. The
cold plunge is best even for these arti-
fetal sea baths; but. as persons of deli
cate constitution cannot stand the cold
bath, the tepid bath or one at blood
heat may be substituted. Since heat
acts upon the mineral salts disastrous
ly. It must be applied but slightly. and
It is better to dispense with the arti1-
cisl bath altogether rather than take a
hot one.
