Wheel Conveyor for Excavating.

+ TOM Popular Mechanics.
This ingenious conveyor. consisting of
huge wheel. eighty feet in diameter.
on the rim of which the exoavated mat
ter is swung over the dump. is a new
idea which is proving successful from
every point of view. The rim of the
wheel is connected to the hub by steel
cables. which can be whirIed on the
hub at any angle. Brackets carry
series of plates three feet In width which
extend around the rim. On this surface
the eXcavated material is automatically
dumped by a revolving hopper, and is
carried around until it meets station
airy blade of steel which shoots 1t off
onto the dump.

MAKES GOOD 4suN nARLoR.-

Every woman who takes real In

wonderful help and satisfaction. An

the building opposite, the effect is not
at all unlike that of the sun parlor.

HINTS ON CLEANING IVORY.
Much Care Necessary to Prevent
Spelling Its Tone.

Ivory toilet articles are quite as
fashionable as silver ones now, and
the fact that they are more difficult
to clean in no way detracts from their
popularity. It is not easy to remove
stains from the mellow, creamy ma
teriaI without spelling it's tone Some
useful hints on cleaning ivory are
very slight and do not seem to- be
permanent, though they cannot be
rubbed off with a dry cloth, wash the
ivory thoroughly in warm water and
soap suds and then, without drying
it on cloth, place it in the bright
sunlight for few minutes. This ex-
posture will usually remove the stains
After they have disappeared wash the
ivory again in soap and water, rinse it
thoroughly and dry carefully with a
soft cloth.
Where the stains do not disappear
entirely after contact with the suns
rays the ivory should be washed again
in soap and water, then rinsed in clear
water TO which a little lemon juice
has been added Care must be taken
to have the temperature of the water
right, as too great heat will injure the
ivory.
Very dark discolorations require the
services of an expert to remove,
though one may be fairly successful
by rubbing oxalic acid solution, not
too strong. and applying this to the
dark spots or streaks with a brush
Afterward wash the ivory well in clear
warm water and dry with absorbent
cotton or a soft cloth and then leave
in the sunshine or in a warm place to
bleach.
The acid Of lemon is not harmful
to the most delicate piece of ivory; in
fact the juice of lemon can be ap-
piled with mixture of cleansing pow
der or whiting directly to the ivory
without running any risk of spelling
it's tone or texture. 1t should, how
ever, be removed quickly and the
ivory thoroughly .cleansed afterward
with plenty of warm water. Cabinet
pieces that become discolored can be
cleaned in this way and will be great

FOR CLEAR, vELvETY SKIN.
Plenty of Fresh Air and a Good Mas.
sage Cream Are Essential.

Good teeth, sparkling eyes and beau
tiful hair are all essential to personal
attractiyeness. but probably the great
est charm of woman is a clear, fresh
velvety skin. Queens have paid for
tunes to attain this one charm alone
But cosmetics and artificial beauti
fiers won't accomplish what aiding ma
ture will. A muddy or otherwise un
fortunate complexion is best overcome
by the following plan. Give up greasy
foods and heavy pastries. Take daily
exercise out of doors, or when driving
fill the lungs with good blood-purifying
air. Breathe deep, hold the breath
and then exhale forcibly. This expels
the stagnant air in recesses of the
lungs. 1t is this stagnant air that lit
orally poisons the system, making bad
blood which in time shows on the face

House dust in the country is almost

These get into the pores and work

Maxine Sandwiches

In making sandwiches, bear In mind
that all crusts are removed with a
sharp knife, and that butter just melt
ed but not piping hot, can be spread
with a fine paint brush much better
than firmer butter with a knife. Also
at every house furnishing counter you
can buy fancy cutters for making sand
witches more attractive. And lastly,
sandwiches that must stand should
be wrapped in moist cloths.

AT THE TEA TABLE
METHODS OF PREPARING AND
SERVING REPAST.
Sweet Sandwiches Are a New Idea In
the Line of observation-disclosures
Made Cake an Always Appre- "
ciated DeIicacy.

An ideal spot for the tea table when
the drawing room. The dining room
is reserved for large afternoon teas
or when ten or more guests are ex-
pected. All the paraphernalia for
boiling water and making the tea
should be on the table so that the
brew may be perfectly fresh and with
water Of the necessary temperature.
1t is always a charming scene, even
to other women, TO watch a dainty
hostess prepare tea, from the lighting
of the alcohol lamp to the final bit OF
lemon or pouring of cream.
To man it suggests the delightful
side Of domesticity, and clever girl
wishing to marry should never lose a
chance to let desirable party behold
her making tea-provided she does ii
gracefully.
Sweet Sandwiches.
Sandwiches of all sorts are the best
possible accompaniment to tea Crispy
toast and little cakes come second.
Toast Is often the most agreeable
TO the taste, but it rs so seldom truly
bot and is so greasy with butter. that
It Is by no means an ideal thing to
handle while making a call
Sweet sandwiches are new and may
be made from thin slices of stale or
rather tough cake, having a layer OF
ground or pounded nuts, or nuts
pounded fine in a mortar and held to
the cake by the thinnest possible
layer of jam, marmalade or jelly.
A bit Of preserved ginger placed at
intervals on slices before they are laid
together is delicious. Maraschino cher
ries cut in quarters may also be used.
When sandwiches of different kinds
are served on the same plate they
should be so arranged and marked
that the guest may choose according
to his or her taste.
A sweet sandwich having cherries
inside should have half a cherry on
one corner, and that with preserved
ginger should be similarly marked
with the ginger.
Dolly Over Plate.
Nasturtium leaves make delicious
green sandwiches, and a little lemon
Juice added to sardines in sandwiches
enhances their flavor.
Sandwiches made of greens may be
marked with a bit of the leaves pro-
truding or a nasturtium flower or a
sprig Of parsley.
When a number of guests are ex-
pected and there are several plates of
these dainties, each plate may have
the nature of it's burden indicated with
the nasturtium leaves or flowers or
fruit.
A dolly, should be placed over plates
under sandwiches, but bread and but
ter and cake look better without; be-
sides, when the loaf of cake Is cut the
knife would ruin the dolly.
Homemade cake is always a deli
cacy, even when of the simplest sort,
and the truly hospitable hostess will
see to it when expecting many call
ers that loaf or two IS provided.
For small informal tea serving, If
homemade cake is served, several
pieces only should be arranged on a
plate.
