When the eyes become very tired and
infamed from sleeplessness and from
close and fine work, such as reading fine
type or doing fine needlework, etc, take
soft linen cloth, wiring it out in boiling
water and press il on the eyes as hot as
can be borne. Wet the cloth in hot
water again 40 soon as it becomes cool,
and repeat the application until the eyes
are relieved This is very quick way
of relieving tired or overstrained eyes
Generally in half hours time the eyes

The habit Of biting the finger nails is
not confined to children. Grown-ups
often cultivate it at times OF extreme
nervousness. You no doubt have known
women who have held the habit in check
until the nails grow to be of reasonable
length, then in one little half hour of
nervous and absorbed thoughtlessness
bite them down to the quick before be-
coming conscious OF the act Many rem
edes have been tried. Probably the
most sensible treatment is to manicure
the nails regularly once week until
they become strong and uniform in their
nature. At first keep them filed rather
short As they strengthen and thicken
allow them to grow longer. The fling
may need to be done oftener than once
week. The same treatment is good for
old and young

A cooked potato is excellent as a

and rubbed over the backs and fingers
after they have been soaked for min

be used in this manner instead of soap.

late years when both these commodities have
mounted on more than one occasion to fancy prices
the income has swelled SO remarkably as to prove
revelation to the farm mistresses. Women who
had only spending money heretofore from this
source suddenly found themselves with indepen-
dent bank accounts of their own.
The to-be-expected sequel was the result. The
women of the farms receiving such object lessons

strain upon woman's strength, and materially to
the bulk of her pocketbook. Not a few of the
abandoned farms of New England which have
lately been rejuvenated owe the transformation to
women who have worked out their salvation
through sort of intensive farming in which more
often than not the fair have had little assis-
tance-for be II known, hired help is as scarce in
some of the farming sections of New England as
it is many hundreds OF miles farther west
An interesting side light the situation is that
upto-date agricultural colleges are now fitting
girls for work in the fields anywhere else on the
farms. In these institutions the young women are
studying side by side with their brothers all the

Of the craft
must be admitted however that few of the
european women who work in the fields appear
In the least dscontented with their lot. To be
sure the explanation In many may be found
IN the fact that they know other life and
seemingly give nary a thought to the possibilities
OF an easier existence. Their mothers and their
srandmothers before them went into the fields
IN this wise and with a proverbial adherance to
precedent and custom they accept the RESPONSE

the heart trouble is caused by an un-
