For Beautiful Hands.

Mrs Jameson, the well-known au-

hands and thus expressed herself on
her favorite point in a woman: "a
white hand is a very desirable orna-
ment. and hand can never be white
unless it be kept clean; nor is this all.
for if a young lady excels her COM
panions in this respect she must keep
her hands in constant motion. which
will cause the blood to circulate freely

ton recommended is working at the

Rare Remedies.

In some parts of England the ma
tives say the best way to cure a stiff
neck is to wrap a live snake about it
In some of the Hebrides islands great
faith is had in perforated, water-worn
stones called snake stones" These
are dipped in tepiu water, which is
then given to cattle which have been
bitten by snakes. If no stone can be
obtained the head of an adder dipped
in the water gives just as good results

it is equally good as bandage for a

Among the many students at the
University of Kansas who are earning
their way through school, is a girl who
pays her room rent with the money
she gets for reading aloud two hours
a day to an old lady living in Law
renee. Occasionally her work is
varied by the writing of letters. Stats
tics which have been gathered by Chan
cellor Strong show that about so per
cent of university students are at
least partly self-supporting Most of
them earn their money during the vaca-
lions, but a large number improve the
spare hours which they can find dur
