that he was being taken to this house

TACT, OF course, the situation was prac-
tically the reverse: We desired Soy TO
Identify McNlsh, and McNish, under
stress OF tho encounter, to admit his
own Identity. The Euraslan, however,
having been thus misinformed, was at
distinct disadvantage. So, when !

Renose in the Hands.

If you have not paid. especial atten-
ton to your hands do So Watch them
carefully. See if you relax them when
they are not in gesture or use. If you
keep them tense as though you were
holding On to something for dear life
it only means you are keeping your
nerves and muscles on an unnecessary
strain.
Make practice of stretching them
out a little and then relaxing them,
let ing them fall in place with all The
muscles loose. 1t is said that women
waste nerve force to a great extent
through their hands. They may be
able to keep the fact still, but the
hands are never quiet, never in repose,
never loosened.
All this means that nervous energy,
like Bill Arp's courage, oozes through
her finger tips.
Possibly you are not conscious Of
how much perHtual motion there is in
your own hands. Take day off to

do-do give them rest. You will
save yourself hours of energy and
throw back all that force into your
system to be used in more important
things.
Put these rules up on your dressing
table and imprint them in your mind
before you go out among people;
Keep your hands away from head
and face.
Do not pick up articles over the
room and put them down again as you
talk.
Learn to drop the hands in the lap,
on the arm of the chair or at your
side, and do not move them unless 1t
is necessary.
Constant gesturing is foolish. Don't
think it is expressive to talk with the
hands unless you know how to do it.
A few gestures gracefully done are
eloquent. Fidgeting the hand is stupid.

Rerries i'm YOrkYille.

The Himalaya berry, which seed
houses have been advertising so
strongly during the past few years is
not a fake like the "Wonderberry,
which disappointed so many people
few years back. Mr.. A. NJ. Grist OF
Yorkville, put out some Himalaya
berry cuttings in his garden a year
ago last fall, and they have now come
into bearing. The zines grow very
RAPIDLY and now cover a space of thlr-
ty feet. The fruit is very similar to
the blackberry and takes the place OF
the blackberry in all its uses. 1t is
far more prolific, however, and the
berries, which appear in thick clus-
ters, are more easily and more quick
" gathered. MI. Grist has already
gathered more than bushel Of berries
from his two vines and he expects to
gather several bushels more during
the present season. This berry is said
to have been brought to the United
States from the Himalya mountains
less than a dozen years ago, and IS
only just now becoming distributed
over the country. Those who claim
thorough acquaintance with the
Himalaya berry say that after the
vine has a start of two years in a
garden the owner thereof becomes in

Dr.. George Turner, recently knight
ed in England partly because Of his
devotion to the lepers at the asylum
at Pretoria during his long career in
South Africa, is himself victim of
the dread disease, contracted through
his work among the afflicted. For
several years he has been living in
seclusion in England. During his resi-
dence In the Cape Colony he produced
a curative and preventive serum which
stamped out the rinderpest in that
section saving the country millions Of
pounds Then for years he worked
among the lepers without pay, endeay-
oring to find cure for the disease.
On reaching the age limit he retired
to England to pursue his studies into
the psychological side of leprosy.
