that can be easily noticed as she pro-
ceeds.
A very simple method is to hold
the finger tips in warm oil for about
ten minutes at a time and then rub
them about vigorously as il washing
the hands; press the oil in and about
the cuticle, so that all the surround
ing flesh will be thoroughly fed.
Should agnails appear after the
nails start to grow out properly. clip
OFF only what is absolutely necessary,
as clipping too deep is likely to cause
a thick growth which is not easily
gotten rid of without first having
sore fingers. After clipping wrap a
bit of cotton about an orangewood
stick. dip it in peroxide. then rub over
the clipped cuticle; when dry press
a little cold cream over the spot. If
the cuticle is sore enough to be
troublesome it may be touched light
iy with colodion. Iodine is also very
good, but, as it stains the skin, it is
not used quite so frequently as the
first mentioned lotions. However. as

hats let them soak overnight in good
soapsuds, then wash thoroughly and
let dry. You cannot buy finer material
for making soft white shoes for the

and can easily be kept clean. When
soiled they can be washed on the

Tintinq Curtains.

White crutains are apt to soil very
quickly, especially when the windows
at which they hang arc in the vicinity
of a railway. 1t is good plan to tint
them an ecru or yellow shade, al.
though their appearance may not be
quite so dainty as when their lace is
of snowy hue. Rinsing the curtains
in weak tea or coffee results in pref
ty shade of ecru, but. as the stain
washes out the tinting must be repeat
ed each time the curtains are cleaned.

MAKING SMALL CHANGE.

They had an ingenious plan for
meeting shortage of small change
in the old days before copper coins
existed. Until the reign of Edward
l. the silver penny was the smallest
coin minted in England, to the great
inconvenience of the small purchaser
of the period. But the difficulty was
to some extent got over by the issue
of pennies indented with a deep
cross. The coin could then be brok-
en- into halfpennies and farthings.
Our first real copper coinage only
dates from 1872, and until the time
of Edward vi. farthings of silver
were coined, growing smaller and
smaller as the value of silver in
creased.-London Chronicle.

NOT HIS TIME TO PASS ON
Return 70 life Of Supposed Dead
Man Gave a Shock to Mournera
At His Bedside.

The residents of Kells, county
Meath, ireland, are much excited
over the coming to life Of a supposed
dead man. Philip Fitzpatrick, a
cattle drover, dropped, apparently
dead, in a field, and the body was
removed to the local hospital. There
arrangements were made for the fu-
neral, and the body was afterward
taken to the workhouse mortuary.
Meantime a telegram had been sent
to the dead mans brother, asking
him to come to Kells. The message
was Considerably worded, Brother
dying" but while on his journey he
overheard two travellers talking
talking about the sudden death in
Kells. He asked the name of the
dead man, and receiving confrma-
ton of his suspicion, he hurried to
Kells. On his arrival, however, he
was agreeably surprised to learn
that so far from being dead his
brother was very much alive. While
a cord which Fitzpatrick wore round
his neck was being cut preparatory
to his being 'laid out" the man
woke. He had been some three hours
"dead" at the time, and his unex-
pected return to life gave those by
the bedside a more or less severe
shock.

What became Of the people who
built the Cuzco ruinsP Were they
the ancestors Of "those stolid and
downtrodden Indians whom one sees
today peddling their rude wares in
the market place of Cuzco?' Mr..
Bryce discusses the question in his
"South America" He says: @The
sudden fall Of a whole race is an
event so rare in history that one
seeks for explanations. 1t may be
that not only the royal Inca family,
but nearly the whole ruling class
was destroyed in war, leaving only
the peasants, who had already been
serfs under their native sovereigns.
But one is disposed to believe that
the tremendous catastrophe which be-
fell them in the destruction at once
of their dynasty, their empire and
their religion by fierce conquerors,
incomparably superior in energy and
knowledge, completely broke not
only the spirit of the nation, but the
self-respect Of the individuals who
composed it.
'"They were already a docile and
submissive people, and now under a
new tyranny, far harsher than that
of rulers of their own blood, they
sank into hopeless apathy and ceased
even to remember what their fore
fathers had been. The intensity of
their devotion to their sovereign and
their deity made them helpless when
both were overthrow, leaving them
nothing to turn to, nothing to strive
for. 4
"The conquistadores were wise in
their hateful way when they put
forth the resources of cruelty to out
rage the feelings of the people and
stamp terror in their hearts,"
