HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

A scald is one of the most painful
INJURIES One of the best healing rem
edies is made by beating castor oil
and white of egg together until a
cream is formed
Talcum was never intended as a tot
let article for whitening the face, but
it sOothes q burned skin. If, however,
talcum is added to face powder the
irritation that often follows the appli-
cation Of face powder will not be no
ticed. 1t makes powder smooth.
For pimples take sarsaparilla or any
blood tonic for two weeks and drink
plenty Of water and exercise the body
daily. Hot baths, followed by shower
baths, will assist in purifying the
blood. One teaspoonful of carbolic
acid in one pint Of rosewater. well
mixed, can be sparingly applied to
pimples and will remove them. For
moth patches mix rum and sulphur
together and apply at night. using care
not to get it into the eyes.

white and clear as one could desire

than a black velvet band around the
neck. Other effects, too, may be pro
duced by the judicious use of this ad-
junct to the toilet A narrow band
around a long neck will make it ap-
pear somewhat shorter, and 1t will
make the complexion dazZlingly white
In contrast. while a wide black band
will tend to lengthen the neck and will
have the same desirable effect upon the
complexion.
A skin whitening preparation that
can be easily made at home is In the
proportion Of two tablespOonfuls Of
oatmeal, half tablespoonful of pow
dered borax and a half pint of rose.
water. Let the mixture stand three
days, strain and add a half ounce of
alcohol The addition of the alcohol
prevents the souring which is the
drawback to so many oatmeal prepare
lions. If preferred, instead of using
all oatmeal 1t can be mixed with half
its bulk of almond meal. Either of
these washes makes the skin feel soft
and smooth If rubbed on the hands or
face after washing.

The Only Time.

We're living once again, we are.
Old lethargy has got jar.
And every blessed mothers son
Is looking for large home run
And things that in such lines are cast
The baseball seasons in full blast!
With checkers. authors and few
Such games we passed the winter
through,
Played SNOWFALL. maybe at a pinch
Pulled off a quiet game of cinch,
But still there was vast and wide
Want that was never satisfied.
That want-well, maybe you can guess
That's right. for it was nothing less
Than quiet roofing and subdued
In language strong and many hued
And all the other things that go
To make the grand and only show.
And now we're in the happy days
When any one may catch the craze,
When any one who has the price
May on the rooters' bench cut ice
Or. failing that, may look across
The fence and grumble at his loss.
Then all in friendly chorus call
To experts uniformed, play ball!'
And let us drop our business cares,
Our labors and such small affairs
And HE us to the diamond where
They play the only game that's square.

PAPER FOR MONEY.

Extreme Care and Secrecy Used In Its
Manufacture.
The various great nations devote
much study to the Improvement Of
their secret processes of manufacture

the principal object being, Of course,
to render counterfeiting more and
more difficult.
Our own government guards with
extreme care every detail Of the man.

Importance upon its secret Of getting
silk thread into the composition Of the
paper itself.
The efforts Of this government, how
ever, are not nearly so painstaking as
those put forth in making the fiimsy
paper used for Bank of England notes,
which are probably the finest paper
money in the world. These notes are
manufactured frolA Zine Irish linen,

texture unsurpassed. The secret of
the security Of the Bank OF England
note against forgery and counterfeit

itself and not in the printing.
In addition, the notes show a water.
mark SO cleverly devised that an ex-
| pert from the mill can tell by a glance
at the date Of manufacture the very
name Of the employee who made it.
The watermark is produced by de-
sign countefsunk In the woven wire
bottoms of the trays in which the hot
paper pulp is poured and dried. 1t has
never been successfully initiated.
Extraordinary precautions are taken
for the security of the mill where these
notes are made, as well as Of every
thing in the mill There is, of course
staff Of police constantly in attend

quarters, nine miles away.
The watchmen who patrol the mill
corridors every night must pass at
each quarter Of an hour clocks Of Won

1t is not a small matter to safely

The WCman's Relief corps is the
only authorized auxiliary Of the Grand
Army of the Republic and the out
come Of the above mentioned aid So
cieties of the sixties. After the war
the work Of relief became more than
ever important because of the perma-
nent disability of thousands of sol
diers, many Of whom had families lie
pendent upon them. After few
years Of desultOry effort by unattach-
ed societies it was deemed best to
unite in one strong organiZa ton which
should be the auxiliary to that of
the veterans and prepared to system.
atically assist them in their philan-
thropic work. Representatives of
many small societies met in Denver in
the summer Of 1883 and organized the
corps, with a charter list of forty-five
members.
During its twenty-siX years Of ex-
istence $3.500,000 has been expended
for relief alone. Families of veterans
have been provided with food and
clothing, homes and employments
have been found for soldiers widows
and orphans, the sick have been cared
for and the dead buried. In several
states homes are maintained where
disabled veterans may be accompanied
by their faithful wives and their de-
clining days be spent together in com
fort.
In addition to the work of relief, i'm
mense sums OF money are expended In
the observance of Memorial day, and
this society was the pioneer in the pro
motion of patriotic teaching as part
of the public school curriculum. That
was in 1893, and since then many
thousands Of flags and patriotic pub
lications have been presented to
schools in every part Of the United
States.

ARAB SCHOOLS.
Their Peculiar Methods In Teaching
and Studying.

Their Peculiar Methods In Teaching
and Studying.
"An Arab school," said a traveller,
SIS one of the most interesting places
in Cairo to visit. The children, with
the schoolmaster. sit upon the floor or
the ground In semicircle, and each
has a tablet Of wood which is painted
white and upon which the lessons are
written. When the latter are learned
they are washed out and replaced by
other lessons.
During study hours the Arab schools
remind one of the Chinese, for the
children all study aloud, and as they
chant they rock back and forth like
trees in a storm, and this movement is
continued for an hour or more at
time. The schoolmaster rocks back and
forth also, and altogether the school
presents a most novel appearance as
well as sound. Worshipers in the
mosques always move about while re-
citing the Koran. as this movement IS
believed to assist the memory.
1.-THE desks of the Arab schools are
old contrivances Of palm sticks, upon
which is placed the Koran or one Of
the thirty sections Of it. After learn
ing the alphabet the boys take up the
study of the Koran, memorizing entire
chapters of it until the sacred book Is
entirely familiar.
"a peculiar method is followed in
learning the Koran. The study begins
with the opening chapter, and from
this it skips to the last. The last but
one is then learned, then the last but
two, and so on In inverted order, end
ing finally with the second chapter.
During the students progress it is
customary for the schoolmaster to
send on the wooden tablet lesson
painted in black and red and green to
the father, who returns it after inspec-
ton with a couple of plasters pasted
upon 1t. The salaries Of the school
masters are very meager indeed."-

Honest Answer.

The stories told Of Snetzler, a IA
nous Swiss organ builder, prove that
he was a man of rare and incorrupti-
BILE honesty. At one time the parish
officers Of country church applied to
Snetzler to examine their organ and
make improvements In 1t.
"Gentlemen," said SnetZler after a
careful examination of the instrument
in question, "your organ be wort

Handy Bread Outfit.

One of the latest additions to the al
ready large number of combination
household utensils is the combined
bread cabinet and cutting knife. This
consists of an ordinary wooden box
or storage compartment, in which the
loaves are kept, with two drawers be-
meath it. These. drawers are pivotalIy
mounted to swing to an open position
beyond the sides. On the side Of the

box is a curved cutting knife. operat-
ing In rotary fashion by means Of a
handle. A loaf of bread is placed at
the edge of the box, and turn Of the
knife cuts off a slice, which drops into
the drawer beneath. When a sufficient
number of slices are cut the drawer
can be swung shut. One merit OF
this device is that the knife, operating
as it does, cannot swerve to one side
or the other, and the slices Of bread
are all of uniform thickness, result
not always achieved by using the old
fashioned bread knife by hand.
