Roosevelt the "Femjnine."

holds up her hands like binders and
sees only the small segment that is

eyes to sweep around the circumfer-

Roosevelt in the course of his seven
years in the White House surveyed
nearly all the known subjects survey

borne nevertheless finds that This LIS

Is variously accused Of causing any
thing from temper to freckles. And
now comes an English scientist who is
trying tn blame 1t for shortness of
stature. By a system of statistics all
his own he has figured that among
boys and girls at the age Of fourteen
the shortest invariably have red hair.
Among girls those with black and
blond hair take first place in height.
and among boys the light browns are
easy winners. The figures look con-
elusive, but those who do not like them
may reflect with Mark Twain that all
statistics are watered stock.

Many persons do not know that sun
shine is destructive to mirrors and pro-
duces that milky appearance which
cannot be got rid of. When a mirror
is being washed the water should not
be allowed to get close to the edges,
for often 1t will leak under, giving a
mottled effect and running the glass.
Hand mirrors should be placed where
the sun will not strike them, and the
cleaning pastes that they are polished
with should not be too moist, for there
are often tiny spaces that will admit
a liquid, and after this happens the
mirrors usefulness will soo come to
an end.

Pork Is not commonly reported to be
a hygienic food, and assuredly 1t has
no aesthetic associations. 1t Is there
fore somewhat surprising to hear a
diet of pork recommended to the beau
ty seeker. Such Is the latest dictum,
however, and in proof of Its wisdom
we are asked to note the clear, vel
vety skins of the country girls with
whom pork is q staple article of diet.
Pork is supposed to produce this vel
vety effect by supplying oily matter to
the skin. 1t actgas a sort Of natural
cosmetic and is much less expensive
than the creams city women employ to
counterfeit the harshness and dryness
OF their compilations. In the absence
of pork bacon is recommended.
