The kaiser's Meal,

About twenty-five years ago. when
the German emperor was travelling In
Austria. he found himself very hungry
after hunting trip miles from his des-
tination and food.
What shall we do?" asked his maj
esty.
His companion. Count Dolma. re-
membered a farmhouse not very far
away.
Yes; follow me-" he answered, and
in few minutes they stood within
the old farmhouse.
well. my good woman. what can
you give us?" asked the emperor.
The woman placed bread. milk. but
ter and sausage on the table.
Milk. bread. butter and sausagew

He and his companion started in. and
the woman had the satisfaction Of see

man. take this and go and buy your.

in her outstretched hand. And" he

will freshen the complexion. even as it
freshens the flowers. and a simple
aperient will do wonders for a muddy
skin. 1t remains for all women to pre-
serve such beauty as they have and to
cure the defects which are peculiar to
them or that time has wrought. Every
skin Is different and must be treated
accordingly, and 1t takes reasoning
woman to experiment carefully and
find out the proper method of treat
ment for her skin.
Lack of sleep ages a woman possibly
more than anything else. Most women
who are inclined to be nervous require
from eight to nine hours. Six or seven
hours Of rest suffice for others. The
hours before midnight contain the
magic wherein beauty Is dispensed
freely. One hour before IL will do
more good than two afterward.
Sleep without pillow, If possible. or
a very small one of couch size.
The feet should be higher than the
head This makes the flow of blood
over the heart even. Sleep on your
right side. with the limbs outstretched
and the arms down at the side rather
than over the head. which. 1t is said
encourages bad dreams.

Starchinq Humans.

From London comes the news that
starch will have the same effect In

stiffen the muscles and smooth out the

for its application:
All you have to do is to buy pound
OF ordinary pure starch from your

a saucepanful Of hot water and pour
the solution into well filed bath Of
water at a temperature Of 95 to 9S de-

Health and Beauty.

It will be absolutely necessary for
you to get good rear view Of your
hat as well as a front view. Don't
count any minute wasted that is spent
at the mirror when purchasing hat
Look at it from every angle. You will
gain much pleasure In wearing hat
that you know is just right and re-
member its good qualities long after
you have forgotten the bill.
Cool baths suit some temperaments
and hot baths bring the best results in
others. Morning baths act as a tonic
for some. and the evening tub is the
most appropriate for others. The best
experiment until she has found which
seems to have the best effect in her
own case and then abide by the rule.
Don't make the rule an unbreakabe
one, however. or you will be laying up
trouble for yourself
If you once get the shower bath
habit you will never give it up. so be
gin tomorrow morning. When using
the regular shower be sure to protect
the hair with a rubber cap. use pure
soap and warm water first; then. when
all the soap is rinsed off. rub the body
with a handful of sea salt Shower
again with water cool enough to give a
pleasurable shock. rub briskly with Il
coarse towel and moderately stiff
flesh brush and then spray the body
with a lotion.

not be worn two days In succession
even while one pair is being repaired.
While exercising In the open air dur.
Ing cold weather the boarding school
girl should wear quite high topped
waterproof boots with heavy soles
rather than lightweight shoes under
rubbers, as the latter are apt to heat
the feet and make them tender If worn
for several hours at a time. But as
heavy soles take long time to dry
there must necessarily be two or more
pairs of such boots always on hand.
The girl who attends the average
priced boarding school can
get along comfortably with two pair
of evening slippers or low cut shoes
one pair in bronze or black kid and the
other in white glace or suede. Satin in
any shade Is much too dressy looking
to go with the sort of evening frock
that sensible girls pack into their

Literary LIE Embraces az Years.

Literary LIE embraces 81 Years.
1t would be hard to parallel the
achievements of M. Francois Fertiault,
the latest chevalier of the Legion of
Honor. who published his first vol
ume in 1880, when he was seventeen,
and his latest in 1912. There appear
to be only two other instances of a
centenarian writer, and neither of
these could show a literary life extend
ing over eighty-two years. Michel
Chevreul, who died in 1889 at the age
of one hundred and three, issued his
earliest publication at the age of thir-
ty-seven and his latest sixty years az
terward. Miss Caroline White, whose
death occurred last September In her
101st year. came nearer than this to
the record of M. Fertiault. She began
writing for the monthly magazines
when she was twenty-five, and con-
tinued her literary labors until within
q few months Of her death.

Prof Hans Busz of Munster has
just published book to help on the
objects of the new society. He urges
that the Rhine, instead of flowing as

erlands, ought to flow from Duisburg.
in Rhenish Prussia, northwest Of EN-
den, the most westerly port of the
German empire. The distance would
be about $50 miles, and no locks
would be needed.
The professor wants a canal of
1rst rate proportions, comparable to
those Of Suez or Panama, and seeks
to show that such a waterway would
capture the traffic which now goes to
a few years Emden would become
world port. Professor Busz estimates
that the New Rhine" would cost
$1S7,500,O00, a large sum; but, he
points out, only three-quarters Of the
extra $250,000,000 is to be spent on
the army under the new law. He cal.
culated that the gross takings during
the first years would not be more
than 100000.
A year ago the Prussian minister
Of public works announced that the
government regarded the project
favorably, and had it under considera.
