HOW TO BE BEAUTIFUL.


BE born with a pretty face and
keep it all your life.
Do not grow old. This is one of
the first principles of remaining
young and beautiful.
If your hair Is coming out, keep 1t
in g. paper sack and have switch
made of it. Then you can always
say your hair is all your own.
Enamel your face with white ala
bastine and then put the rouge on
top of that.
The best way to tighten your cor
set laces is to put the corset on. tie
the strings to the leg of the bed and
then jump out of the window. In
that way you can get one of those
wasp-like waists. which is hard to
see, but beautiful to look at.
II you have one of those noses
which curve upward, you can make
it behave by tying a flatiron to 1t.
In time 1t will begin to grow down.

HEREDITf AND THE EYES.
Blue or Gray Eyed Parents Cannot
Have Brown Eyed Children.

Since blue and probably gray eyed
parents have no brown pigment in the
outer, surface of the iris they cannot
transmit brown to that portion Of their
children's eyes. This absent character
istic may be one that has been lost or
1t may never have been acquired. 1t
Is known In heredlty language rs re.
cessive. Hence. to repeat, two recess
sives produce in their offspring only
their recessve condition.
The hereditary behavior of brown eye
color. however. Is very different. In
brown eyes actual pigment occurs In
the iris. Here there Is something &C.
cumulated to hand on down to subse-
quent generations. The amount that
can be transmitted. however. depends
on ones own hereditary history as well
as that of ones consort. IL both OF
Smiths parents belong TO brown eyed
strains, then Smith can have only
brown eyes. And since Smith has been
given, as 1t were. double dose of
brown his eyes will be dark brown.
Smith will have. in his turn. only
brown eyed children. whatever may be
the color of his wife's eyes. In the Ian
guage of hereditary. Smiths brown eye
color dominates over blue or gray.
When Smiths brown eye color has
been derived from one parent only.
then his own eyes will tend to be light
or in color and only half of his germ
cells will have the potentiality for maxi
ing brown eyes. Hence. If he marries a
blue or gray eyed wife. only half of his
children will have brown eyes. and
light brown. too, because of two gen
erations of dilution. In case Smiths
wife also has brown eyes derived from
one of her parents only. then three out
of four of their children will have
brown eyes. but only one of the three
will get double dose of brown; hence
Smiths brown eyed children will not
all transmit brown In the same degree.
Thus it is possible for a brown eyed
parent to have one half or one-quarter
of his children blue or gray eyed. But
It is never possible Cor two blue or
gray eyed parents to have brown eyed
children.-lndepende

STYLES IN HANDCUFFS.
The Old Time "Twisters" Were In
strumsnts Of Torture.


II Is in the Aeneid that we find the
first reference to the handcuff. vergil
informs us that Proteus was, by means
of such device. fettered and rendered
helpless by Aristaeus.
II Is Of record that about 400 years
before the Christian era an army Of
victorious Greeks came upon several
chariots of Carthaginians which.
among other things. contained large
number OF handouts
Our term "handcuff' is derived from
the Anglo-Saxon "handcop." In the
Saxon days these handcops were used
In the case OF mobiles. while "footcops"
were reserved for kings. The terms EN-
poyed In the fourteenth century were
''shack bolt" and swivel manacle."
and the specimens thereof which have
come down to us show that the instru-
ments were as cumbersome as their
names.
Only two kinds of handouts were en-
ployed previously to the nineteenth
century. One. the flexible. was very
similar to that now in use. and the 9th
err. which was called 1.-THE figure

prisoners This figure eight was
greatly dreaded. since severe pain was
occasioned the fettered person did he
attempt to move limb.

least struggle on the part of the I'M
fortunate captive resulted in the great
est suffering. for the chains bit deeply
into his flesh. \ similar form OF hand
cuff was that called by the French ia
ligote."
In some parts of Europe there is still
used an exceedingly primitive form of
handcuff. 1t consists of V-shaped
piece of metal. wherein the wrists are
inserted the open ends being drawn to-
gcther by mcans Of q cross hook.
which, however. must be maintained
taut during the whole time the captive

The most inGenius and effective of all
handouts is that used in the United
States and. indeed, adopted by the po-
lice of most civilized countries. 1t is
much lighter and much less clumsy
than the old flexible handcuff and is
not painful to the wearer.-H arper's

FREEZING WATER.
Conditions That Cause the Bursting or

Conditions That Cause the Bursting or
Cracking Of Ice.
Ice never bursts from freezing As
soon as the liquid of which it is COM
posed is frozen solid expansion ceases.
The cracking or bursting of ice is
brought about in this way: When wa
ter is subjected TO extreme cold ice
crystals will gradually form on Its sur
face until the same are covered with n
thin coat of what appears to be wet
snow. From this outer coating of ice
crystals all subsequent freezing goes
downward. the ice thickening accord
ing to the degree of cold. The water
which Is being converted INTO Ice now
begins to expand. creating Il pressure
upon the unfrozen water below. This
pressure Is both downward and out
ward. and in case the water under OBJ
servation Is in a vessel the sides and
bottom Of the receptacle supply the re-
slstance.
As the freezing process continues the
pressure upon the confined water and
air In the interior of the bulk increases
until something yields. II the vessel

has formed over the surface the layer

account Of the fact that the outer
edges OF the CONCEALED mass are frozen

condition the center Of the ice contin-

from the resistance Of the water below.
Could the vessel be tapped from below

300,000,O00 parcels would be handled
of the parcel post system, but it now
appears from the statistics that, in
fluenced by the changes proposed to-
day, the service will be so popularized
that the number of parcels carried
during the ensuing IL months will be
more than double the original esti-
mate.
The rate sheet, which is to be used
as substitute for the parcel post map
will be prepared as soon as practicable
and attached to the parcel post guide.
The rate chart, to be made for each
separate postoffice, will be worked
out from the local point of the unit
in which the postoffice is located. The
simplicity of the plan, it is thought,
will make easily determinable the
rate of postage from that unit to any
other on any mailable parcel and will
greatly facilitate the handling of par
Gel post matter at postoffice windows.

PLAN EXTENSION
OF PARCEL POST
Larger Packages and Cheaper
Rates to Be Allowed
in the Future.

Patrons of the Rock Island postoffice
are greatly interested in the plans for
the extension, improvement and re-
duction in rates of the parcel post.
The changes. which are to become
effective on Aug. Is, include an in
crease from IL pounds to 20 pounds
in the maximum weight of parcels; a
material reduction in the postage rates
in the first and second zones, and the
abandonment of the parcel post map
as a means of computing rates and the
substitution for it Of rate chart in
dividualized to every postofice in the
United States. The plans contemplate
the purchase of a large number of au-
tomobiles to be used exclusively for
the delivery Of parcel post matter.
While, for the present, the maxi
mum weight limit of 20 pounds and
the reduction in rates will apply only
TO the first and second zones, from any
given postofice-a distance Of about
$50 miles - the changes directed
constitute the first long step towards
a universal extension of the system
and general reduction in the rates
or postage on parcel matter.
1t is my expectation and belief
said Postmaster General Burleson,
that eventually-and It may be Is or
20 years-the postal service will han
Ole practically all OF the small pack
age transportation business in the
United States. The maximum weight
limit, extended now from IL 20 q

to proceed with caution, so as 10 af
