THE GOLDEN MEAN.

A Beauty Finds 1t In Moderation In
Athletics.
A masculine relative of beautiful
society maiden got new point or
view the other day when he ventured
to ask her why she made no attempt
10 excel in sports like other women of
her set. &
II can and do swim and play tennis
well,' she replied. but am not going
to exercise to the degree that most of
the other girls do, because it Coarsens
the skin and overdevelops the muscles.
can swim enough to save my life or
that Of another il it were necessary,
and l can win occasional prizes at
tennis. / can also go to ball or din
ner in a low necked gown and not
look like a Mooress. My forearm
would not remind any one of a black
smith, nor do my shoulders show
humps. / have my slim ankles, which
none of the up to date sporty girls
can boast of, and my foot, in smart
ly made pump, looks far better to my
eye than If it were perpetually in
white canvas, with fat rubber heels.
All these things seem to me Of more
consequence than the excitement OF
making records, and, as for the actual
pleasure of athletics, / think get
more of it than those who go In for
sports as if they were professionals"
The masculine relative recalled the
sunburned necks, the peeled noses
and the overrobust limbs he had seen
among athletic femininity, and he
concluded that moderation in exercise,
as in other things, might be a good
thing after all.

CONVEX LENS OF THE EYE.
A Burning Glass That Adjusts the
Siuht to VARYING Distances.

A Burning Glass That Adjusts the
Sight to Varying Distances.
One of the manifold wonders of the
human eye is the convex lens with
which the focal distances of sight are
made instantly and without mental eff
fort. This lens in the eye is literal
burning glass;" as the small boy styles
the glass lens with which he focuses
the suns rays and sets fire to piece
of paper. Just in this sense, too, is the
lens of the eye literal burning glass.
as may be shown by the simplest of
experiments.
Let the person at midday hold a
straw against the face of the sun and
focus his eyes on the straw. He can
look at the straw, with its background
Of dazzling sun, and without discom-
fort. But the moment he looks at the
fiery ball of the~sun itself subcon-
sciously the lens of the eye comes to
its proper focus, with the result that a
burning sun spot appears on the re-
tina of the eye, and it is said that a
few seconds of such looking would
burn out the retina as il by fire itself.
In the subconscious adaptability Of
the eye lens to adapt itself to different
distances lies its value to the human
sight. The man with camera adjusts
the focus of his lenses by sliding them
forward and back. The lenses of the
human eye, by changing their curva-
lures, allow of one looking at fine
print six inches from his nose and in
fraction of a second 10 look up and
away, probably nifty miles to a noun
tain peak that in an instant is in true
camera focus.-Pittsburgh Press.

Embroidered ScaIIops.


Scallops make a nice finish for kimo.
nos, and many articles Of wearing APP
parel. They are the usual finish for
table embroideries.
These few suggestions for making
scallops may therefore be useful.
When marking the scallops take a
small spool and a soft pencil If the
material you are using is light one or
piece of chalk if the material is dark.
If the scalloping is to be straight
draw straight line just along where
it should go.
Then, taking the spool in your left
hand, press it firmly down on the ma
terial and with the pencil mark half
way round the spool.
Draw the spool back about an eighth
Of an inch, or slightly more If you
want your scalloping to be rather deep,
and again mark the material halfway
round the spool. You will then have
a beautiful clear scallop and can con-
tinue marking out your pattern In the
same way all along the straight line
you have drawn.
If you need small scallop use a
ten cent piece. small bottle, or, In
fact, anything round that Is about the
size wanted.
If doing circular piece Of work
mark the round out first, as unless one
has definite mark to follow the seal
hop marking is almost sure to be un-
even.
Use twisted embroidery silk for but
tonholing. 1t is far more satisfactory
than anything else. and in working the
scallops buttonhole right up to the
end of each. then slip the needle un-
der and begin the next scallop about
In eighth of an inch below the point.
Scallops done in this way never tear.

TO FACILITIES

During 1912 eighty miles was added 10

through the central part OF the state. The
cost OF the work was Sl.65O,OOo- The

about s3.0o0,oOo for repairs TO existing
lines. including some reconstruction.

structed by the Burlington extended it's
Big Horn basin line TO within fifteen
miles of Powder river. where II was the
intention 10 have the line connect With
the Chicago 6 Northwestern. the Bur
lington having arranged TO use the tracks
OF that road between Powder river and
Orn Junction, where the Northwestern
connects with the Colorado & Southern,
a road allied with Burlington. in Sep
tember however. the Northwestern de-
manded OF the Burlington return for
the use OF its tracks, which tho former
considered excessive and their agreement
was terminated, whereupon the Burljng-
ton ceased track-laying on It's extension
which then had reached a point fifteen
miles from Powder river. During the last
month OF the year the Burlington pre-
pared TO resume work on this extension,
and began condemnation proceedings
against property needed for q right OF
way between Powder river and Oriu
Junction.
