Facial Massage.

Persons who declare that facial mas
sage harms the muscles and tissues
fail to understand the method of op-
Grafton, which is to stimulate the in
finite number Of fibers and tiny mus
cles beneath the skin. Unless they are
strengthened In this fashion they be-
come flabby with weakness Of age,
just as all muscles are affected when
n woman is no longer young. The pur-
pose Of facial massage is to prevent
sagging, but unless 1t is properly done
it damages the skin by stretching 1t.
Continued rubbing over and over the
surface may stretch the flesh just as
rubbing over the scalp will tangle the
hair. Scalp massage consists in keep
ing the fingers stationary and moving
the scalp over the skull, not the hair
over the scalp. In precisely the same
way the skin Of the face should be
held firm while tissues are exercised.
This consists merely in holding the
fingers stationary during the treat
ment, bending them at the first joint
When one spot has been done the fin
gers are lifted and placed in another,
repeating this all over the face. To
let the fingers slide around accom-
plishes nothing beyond the likelihood
of stretching the skin. After any mas.
sage astringents should be considered
a necessary application, for by the use
of one any chance of causing fine sur,
face wrinkles is eliminated, and the
complexion is given added tone and
firmness. Cold water is an excellent
tonic, but 1t must be cold and used
plentifully.
Other astTlngents, such as alcoholic
preparations, in the way of toilet wa
ters are good, and to get the most ben
eft for the smallest price one Of these
may be patted over the skin after q
good application with water. A weak
solution of spirits of camphor is ben
ehcial, and camphor water Is even bet
ter. Tincture OF benzoin is another OF
which so small quantity is required
that the cost Is slight. Twelve drops
in an ordinary basin of water ia quite
enough. An ounce of the tincture OF
benzoin to half a pint of pure alcoho
is one of the best astrlngent applica
tions that can be made, using thu
liquid not oftener than twice a day
letting II dry ON the skin.
Facial massage should never b,
given until the skin has been wei
soaked In hot water. So thorough
should be the preliminary bath tina
all the fine pores are opened and thu
skin softened. This makes the rub
bing far more efficacious and the appli
cation OF an astringent more than eve
necessary.

d. A. n. MEMORIAL CONTINENTAL HALL.
More than 100000 in hard cash has
been raised in the eighteen years since
the project was formed. Over $1O0,O00
was raised during the last three years.
BY a resolution of the Continental Con-
gress of the Daughters Of the Ameri-
can Revolution a loan Of $500, 900 was
negotiated, and, unless something un-
expected happens to prevent, the So
ciety will meet in April in a completed
building. That meeting will mark the
completion of the second term of Mrs.
Donald McLean's presidency of the
national society and the fulfillment Of
her ardent work for Continental hall.
The auditorium of the hall will seat
about 1000 persons. Here the annual
congress Of the Daughters will con-
vene. Besides, it is hoped that the
place will become a center for musical,
literary and educational interests in
Washington. The building will have a
fireproof museum and a library. His
toric bits of marble and wood will be
wrought into the walls. The cost Of
the ground and building when COM
pleted will be about $500,000. Besides
the auditorium, museum and library,
there will be a board room, dining
room, children's room, committee
rooms, kitchen, serving rooms, store
rooms, etc.

Pierce Of Brattleboro, was reelected,
but declined to serve because Of Illness
in his family. G. F. Smith of Morris
Vile was then chosen. The sixth de-
gree was conferred on 200 candidates.
Resolutions were passed in favor Of
giving the state cattle commission
power to compel owners to have their
cattle tested with tuberculin where
marked cases occur; also one In favor
OF the bill now before the legislature
placing a tax of 5 cents on all ever
green trees shipped out of the state.
Clement +. Smith, the new master Of
the Vermont state grange, is promi-
nent citizen of Morrlsville and one Of
the most progressive farmers in the
state. Mr.. Smith has not missed a
meeting since he became a member Of
the Order. He was president of the
State Dairyman's association for two
terms. To him the agricultural inter-
ests Of the state are largely indebted
for Merrill hall. This is one of the
buildings at the college at Burlington,
and it was erected in memory of Sen
ator Merrill, "father Of the land grant
college act" Mr.. Smith represented
his town in the legislature in 1894,
served on the committee on agricul-
ture and on a special committee on
tuberculosis, on which committee he
performed valuable service.

A Model Of its kind-Modern and Up
to Date In Every Particular.
Palmyra grange Of New York state
has recently dedicated a new grange
home which has been pronounced the
handsomest building Of its sort In the
state. The building, for which ground
was broken June 8, is built on the
clubhouse style, at a total cost expense
OF $4,000. 1t is a two story structure
Of pressed brick and tile, with large
basement of concrete and tile. In the
basement and other parts of the build
ing girders are used for supports, thus
doing away with posts and eliminat-
ing all distractions.
In the basement is the dining room.
which is 81 by 80 feet, without post or
obstruction, and Is thoroughly modern
In its furnishings and very pleasing in
decorative design. The kitchen and
serving room is eq,<kped with sinks,
draining boards and every convenience
for serving lunches or banquets. In
the basement are a wide entrance hall
and the furnace and coal rooms.
The second floor contains the assem-
bly, room. SO by 33 feet. In this room
is a stage, 25 by IL feet, which is ad-
mirably adapted to grange purposes or
entertainments. Bay windows, II by
8 feet, supply plenty Of light. The
ceiling in this hall Is of steel. At each
side of the reception hall are ante
rooms with modern equipment. At the
main entrance the vestibule is hoored
with mosaic tile work. In addition to
this reception hall, there is a porte CO.
chere entrance on the north. Two fire
escapes leading from the main assem-
bly, room afford ample means Of exit
in case of emergency.

CAPTAIN WILLIAM I. sBALBY OF THE RI
two of the most important inventions
Of the age have greatly reduced the
danger to human life in travel upon
the sea, for 1t was because the Repub-
lie was equipped with the Marconi
system Of wireless telegraphy and with
submarine signaling apparatus that
aid was summoned In time to prevent
a great disaster.
The submarine signaling system is
the result of an idea suggested to Pro
fessor Elisha Gray by Arthur j. Nun
dy Of Boston. After the death of Gray
Mr.. Mundy carried on experiments In
this direction and added numerous In
ventions Of his own, thus perfecting
the system. The idea came to Mr.
Mundy from recollection of the sim
pie experiment often made by boys OF
striking two stones together under
the water when swimming and listen
ing to the sound at some distance. He
knew that water was an excellent
conductor Of sound, and the thought
occurred to him that some system
might be devised which would enable
ships at sea in a fog to signal eacl
other or to learn Of their nearness tC
dangerous points Of the shore. Pro
fessor Gray and Mr.. Mundy conducted
experiments near Gloucester about
nine years ago in which a bell weigh
ing 800 pounds was used and which

strong magnetic current moving the
hammer, gave forth such a volume OF
sound as to be heard at q distance OF
fourteen miles. Subsequent improve
ments made 1t possible to send the
sound a much greater distance.
The system proved such success
that the leading ocean steamship lines
placed the apparatus on their vessels
several years ago. 1t has been applied
also In connection with naval vessels
especially for the purpose of detecting
the approach of torpedo boats. On
merchant vessels by placing transmit
ters ON both sides of the ship it has
been possible to detect not only the
direction but the approximate distance
and character of the sounds. Receiv.
ers are now located in the pilothouse
of q ship, and in the hold Is placed
the transmitter case, where 1t is pro-
tected frol the water and the posi-
bility of accident. The signal bell is
usually located on the side of the ship.
The courage of Captain Sealby and
members Of his crew in staying on
board the Republic as long as chance
of saving her remained excited much
admiration. Not until the Republic
began to settle preparatory to taking
her final plunge beneath the waves did
her captain leave his post. He was al.
most too late to save his life and had tc

The New York Plan.

In New York the delegates to the
state grange are elected on the basis of
one delegate at large for each county
without regard to any numerical basis
of membership. Then there may be
elected one delegate for every 400
members whose dues are paid to the
state grange, and after all such allot-
ments there may be elected one dele
gate for a fraction beyond exceeding
200, and If there be but 200 members
in said county after the election OF the
delegate for the county that number
shall be entitled to a delegate, pro-
vided that each alternate delegate
shall be a matron and further pro-
vided that all fourth degree members
in good standing will be entitled on
attendance at the state grange to re-
ceive the fifth degree. 1t is further
provided, however, that Pomona
oranges may elect each one delegate
to the state grange, but no county in
which a Pomona grange may be stu
ated shall be entitled to q delegate at
large for such county. Fourth degree
members in good standing are eligible
as delegates.
