GETTING READY FOR TRANSFER
Municipal Authorities Preparing to
Occupy New Home.

What might be looked upon as the first
step toward moving the seat of the local
government from its quarters in the Dis
trict building on Louisiana avenue to the
handsome new Municipal building at 14th
street and Pennsylvania avenue was
taken this morning. when all of the pic
lures that have been adjoining the walls
The majority of the pictures were on
the walls Of offices on the fifth floor OF
the District building. which floor is
known as the administration floor, and
most of them were lkenesses of former
Commissioners. governors, mayors and
other citizens of Washington prominent
as pubic-spirited men in their day. Be-
fore these pictures will be hung in the
new building they will be cleansed and
reframed.

Japanese Sleeves in Tailored Coats.

Although the latter does not seem to be
suitable in a tailored coat, can fancy its
being much worn, for the wide armholes
will be convenience. as with them one
can wear blouses with the fussiest sleeves
and have no fear of crushing them.
The fairly long. short-sieeved coat so
popular just now is a perfect boon to the
woman who likes to be well dressed. In
fact, | should get extra material with
every kind of dress bought. whether silk,
pongee, family cloth or linen, and make
such a jacket.
The model is easy of construction
and takes really very little goods. Any
amat may attempt to build such a
wrap. and if short of material. can open
the side seams from the lower edge nearly
to the waist line, or until any tightness
has disappeared, and connect the edges
with cords Topped over buttons and then
slash the bell sleeves and finish them in
the same way. There will be quite saw
ing of material by doing this, and the
effect will be prettier. In fact. Slashings
may be made almost anywhere off prac
ticable), Supposing the coat is found to
draw at any point
Ball fringe makes a pretty finish to the
sleeves.
Think of the convenience of having a
smart wrap for wear with every gown,
and at such slight expense, too.

Feeding Baby.

very careful how you begin feed
K ing a breast baby. If he seems to
- require more nourishment than he
is now getting, once or twice day give
him a cupful of broth made of beef. chick
en- or mutton. Do not let him have ce-
reals yet. Vegetables may be cooked in
the broth, all being strained out before
feeding.
Crackers or soft bread should not be
given: let him have zwiebach instead.
The strained juice of half an orange in
the morning will be good for baby.

To Reduce Flesh.

Give up eating any kind of sweets or
starch stuffs. Substitute a soft boiled
egg. Take coffee without either cream or
sugar. or take tea. instead. No coffee at
lunch. At the midday meal do not have
sandwiches. Bread, except that specially
prepared is very fattening. Have some
soup and ZWieback. Eat an orange in
place of sweets. Take no water with
meals. but three pints at least a day be-
tween meals.
At night have only thin soups. no
purees. rare meats, watery. not starchy
vegetables. and finish with a salad.

Eating Green Peas.

Green peas should always be eaten with
fork. The origin of using spoon for
them is the fact that the first forks made
had but two tines. and small grains. etc,
could not be held by them Since three
and four tines have been made, il becomes
possible to substitute fork many times
for a spoon. and with all vegetables this
should be done

Substitute for Salt Baths.

An excellent substitute for natural
warm salt baths is secured by combining
two pounds of muriate of soda, half a
pound of sulphate of soda. and half a
pound each of chloride of lime and chic
ride of magnesia. This is put into two
gallons of water to dissolve. The whole
quantity is required for bath If 1T is to
have the desired effect.
If a practice is made of taking any OF
these baths a woman should buy the In
gradients at wholesale. The difference in
cost will be marked.
Daily immersion in something of this
sort will greatly improve the complexion.
If the temperature Is hot, excessive per-
spration is induced. and the pores are
enabled to throw off impurities that clog
them and thicken the complexion. Rub
bling afterward with coarse towel stimu-
lates circulation to a desirable extent.
and a beauty treatment is had at little
cost If taken before going to bed any OF
these baths is likely to induce sleep.

Tonic Baths Refresh
and Rest Tired Nerves

IONIC baths are decidedly refreshing
when that tired feeling of early
spring first overtakes a person. For
the matter of that. warm bath, not hot
enough to be weakening. but of low
enough temperature to relax the nerves. is
always beneficial, and may be INDUCED in
whenever woman is fatigued.
Camphor Bath a Joy.
When to the restfulness of warm water
is added soothing properties. the body re-
wives under them and elasticity of muscles
returns with that of the nerves.
For instance, a camphor bath Is a JOY.
1t is made from an ounce of the tincture
mixed with half an ounce of tincture
of benzoin and two ounces of cologne or
pure alcohol.
The whole compound is then poured into
a tub of warm water just before one steps
into the bath. This is not to be used as a
cleansing bath, with soap.
Instead, the person should lie at full
length for fifteen minutes giving herself
up to the soothing and gratifying In
f1uence of the warmth and tonic. Such a
bath as this may be taken without danger
of contracting cold. If going out of doors
Immediately afterward.
Pine Baths Eficacious.
Pine baths are highly commended, and
for those persons who are sufficiently for
tunate to live in region where the trees
grow this luxury costs almost nothing.
For such bath Norway pine is the best
but the more common kind is an excellent
substitute For the latter the needles
should be gathered fresh from the trees
for those on the ground have little nour-
ishment left.
To make this pine tonic a gallon kettle

solution is ready to be used. There should
be little less than a quart of liquid. :
Luxurious Herb Bath.
This alone may be poured into bath.
but If an ounce of tincture of benzoin is
added 1t will increase it's virtues. The
effect upon the health Is marked, If this
is INDUCED in daily, and it is also soften
ing and whitening to the skin.
A herb bath is luxurious without being
expensive. To have it, mix an ounce each
of dried thyme, rosemary. mallows and
linden with an ounce and half of bicar-
Donate of soda. Over this pour gallon
of water and cover the kettle. 1t should
stand over night. In the morning strain
the liquid. A quart of the mixture Is suf-
ficient for a bath.

Live Mule. Dead Boar.

An odd hunting adventure recently
befell a British officer in India. He
was mounted ON fleet mule and was
running down a wild boar, intending
to lance 1t, when the animal turned.
bit the mules leg and then fed again.
The mule screamed savagely, and in a
minute she had deposited the officer
on the ground. Then, kicking out
vigorously five or six times, as If to
see that her legs were all right, she
started after the unfortunate pig at
lightning speed. with fury in her eyes
and vengeance in the crook of her
ears. The race was not long, and the
wild boar soon realized that he had
exasperated relentless enemy. He
was soon winded, and the mule. COM
ing up with him, caught him by the
backbone with her teeth, crunched it
and threw him to the ground and
then, before he could rise, kicked him
so viclously that he was a dead boar
in less than no time. Then the mule
returned TO her master and gave utter
ance TO "heehaw" of triumph.

The pon,t Worry rhsnru.

The usual advice given to the wor-
rier is, Don't worry" This advice Is
foolish because impractical. No one
can stop thinking one type of thought
except by substituting for it another.
Besides, it is dangerous advice, for,
even snpposing one could mechanical
ly put an end TO a worrying state of
mind, he would simply be like an en-
gineer who should plant himself on the
safety valve of his engine. The energy
expended in worry, turned inward on
itself, would tear the mental mechan-
ism to pieces. No! What the wor-
Fied man or woman needs evidently
is TO be tanght how to find health
ful outlet for his or her nervous power
thus going TO waste II we say "Dont
worry" let us also be careful to add
but work." and let us also point out
what kind of work should be under.
taken and the spirit in which it ought
TO be done. In other words, what the
worrier needs is re-education.-Rev s.
