New Sanitary Drinking Fountain.

A new type of sanitary drinking
fountain has been erected in Lafayette
square, Washington. The fountain
has a large basin into which the over
flow from the "nozzle cups" discharges.
The nozzle cups are at the outer ends
of flexible tubes whose inner ends con-
meet with the water supply, and the
water flows up freely through an open
ing in the center of a domelike plate
rising almost to the top of the cup, so
the user can drink without touching
the metallic parts Of the cup, out of
which the water constantly flows In
cleansing stream. The cups are
shackled by individual chains to an
upper portion of the foundation, so
they cannot fall outside the basin when
released by the drinker, Thus the
cups when not in use discharge into
the basin instead of on the ground sur
rounding the fountain.

Cultivate CheerfuIness.

There is no greater everyday virtue
than cheerfulness. This quality in wo-
man is like sunshine to the day or gen.
tie renewing moisture to parched
herbs. The light of a cheerful face
diffuses itself and communicates the
happy spirit that inspires 1t.
The sourest temper must sweeten in
|the atmosphere of continuous good hu-
NOR. AS well might fog and cloud
|and vapor hope to cling to sun illumin
ed landscape as 'the blues" and mo
roseness to combat jOvial speech and
exhilarating laughter.
There is no path but will be easier
travelled, no load but will be lighter, no
shadow on heart or brain but will lift
Boomer In the presence of determined
bheerfulness. 1t may at times seem
ifficult for the happiest tempered to
#eep the countenance Of peace and
+ ontent, but difficulty will vanish
khen we truly consider that sullen
DOM and passionate despair do moth
hg but multiply thorns and thicken

Biblicai Measures,

The discovery near the site Of the
house of Caiaphas, in Jerusalem, Of
various ancient Hebrew weights and
measures seems to end the uncertainty
that has long existed regarding many
Of the weights and measures mention
ed in the Bible. According to the Scien-
tific American, the vessels unearthed
include cab. hin. seah, bath or
ephah, homer, as well as a complete
set of the fractions and multiples of
the homer. Most of the measures were
found in small chamber next to a
mill, and a careful examination OF
them shows that the Jews had differ
ent sets of measures before and after
the captivity (B. G. 606). Biblical
scholars will undoubtedly be able now
to determine the equivalent. in modern
weights and measures, of talent of
gold or silver or Of homer or an
ephah Of wheat.

Aviation Record.

Since 1908 the speed of the aeroplane
has advanced from 25 miles an hour to
over 1OS miles an hour in the latter
part of 1912 and has more than quad
rupled. From the modest height of 200
feet previous to 1910 maximum alti-
tude of 10000 feet, ninety-five times
the earlier record, now stands
The year 1912 also saw a distance of
627 miles accomplished, amounting to
sixty times the record distance of fifty
miles scored in 1909 The most practi-
cal advance in the science of air navi-
cation is shown in the jump of the du-
ration record. 1t was less than an hour
until late In 1908. At the beginning Of
1909 it was nearly two and a half
hours. The early part Of 1912 saw it
stand at close to twelve hours. The
present record for sustained flight is 13
hours II minutes.-New York Sun.

How to Retain a Correct Figure.

How to Retain a Correct Figure.
The surprising fact has been pro-
claimed to the modern woman that her
figure more closely resembles the clas-
steal ideal than has been the case for
many generations past and that she
has the corset maker to thank for the
fact says the Cincinnati Tribune. And
she Is amazed at the audacity of the
corset maker, for she knows he only
does as he is hidden, and he is now bid
den to retain her perfect figure and not
make 1t.
Where Is the perfect figure to be
found, after all?
Is 1t the ideal of the sculptor as
shown by the Venus Of Milo? Is 1t the
plump ladies found In Rubens' paint
ings? Did Gainsborough or Reynolds
discover it, or is 1t possessed by the
modern women pictured by Shannon
and Sargent! Or is 1t, again, the Ideal
figure from the doctors point Of view,
perfectly healthy, well set up, the
shoulders held we'll back, the back fiat,
the body carried we'll? Perhaps this
last is the perfect figure Of today. The
ideal of the sculptor is a well devel-
oped unmarried woman in her early
twenties. After thirty the single wo-
man shows signs Of becoming either
angular or overdeveloped; she has ei-
ther been too ardent a sportswoman
and has become muscular or she is
frankly too fat.
As far as can be, the healthy young
woman Of the upper and middle class
es Of today has a perfect figure, grant
ed that she is not long bodied In COM
parison with the length of her legs.
She has been trained to hold herself
well, to walk easily and with natural
grace. She has been encouraged to
take her part in all athletic pastimes
within reason. She swims and rows
and plays golf. Her exercises have
taught her to breathe deeply. and, IN
spite of certain uncouth dances which
are passing crazes in the ballroom, she
is a good dancer. All her life her body
has been free from the restraint OF
stays, the modern mother wisely hold
ing that girl does No. want them,
therefore when the debutante days
come has no consideration for the fan
cy Of a corsetiere who would pinch
here or squeeze or pad there. Corsets
she must have to aid the hang of hel
clothes and to keep her tidy, but they
must be perfectly comfortable In every
respect.

is screwed into it in the center and
chain attached. The chain should be
long enough to reach over the largest
log and down to the ground in front of
the buck. A lever is hinged to the
hardwood crosspiece near the center
and extends to the front side of the
buck A hook is fastened in the front
end of the lever in which to hook the
links of the chain.
A log is placed in the crotch of the
buck in the usual manner, and the
chain is brought over the log and a
link placed in the hook of the lever,
while the latter is raised several inches
from the ground. The lever is then
pressed down by the foot and the saw
ing started.

Snow Baths the Latest.

The latest fad among women in Rus
sian society is snow swimming. The
"snow bath" is said to he marvellous
as a beautifying aid and as a cure for
rheumatism and other troubles. Wrap
ped in rich furs, the beauties of st.
Petersburg step from the screened ex-
its Of the bath and, doffing their warm
covering, plunge like Ewes into the
cold white snow. The proprietors of
the baths are winning high revenues.
After the plunge, pink and warm, the
women join their friends In the gen
eraf reception room, TO which men are
admitted on proof of social standing
and a substantial fee.

Thin Arms Mada PIump.

To improve thin arms massage with
the following cream. This cream may
also be used for the neck and shoulders
If desired:
Lanolin, 80 grams; oil Of sweet aim
oRds, 20 grams; tannin, half a gram.
Melt the lanolin, heat the oil and add
to it, stirring until thoroughly mixed;
then, as the mixture cools, beat in the
tannin. Place in small glass or china
jars.
Remember that in massaging the
arms the movements should be upward
from wrist to elbow, and on the upper
arm they should be from elbow to
shoulder. 1t is well to change from
one arm to the other SO as to avoid
getting too tired.

Her Awful Crime.

A curious old law, which dates from
ITO, has been used to sentence the
owner of vineyard at Capestang, near
Beziers, France, to fine and costs for
picking her own grapes. She was pick
ing the grapes which had been left on
the vine in her vineyard after the au-
tumn gathering, when the local police
man told her that she was committing
an offense against the law, as all
grapes left on the vines after the har-
vest We're the property of the poor.
The court at Beziers confirmed the po-
hceman's opinion. and the woman was
convicted.

The versatile woman is not the rara

prominence, a dramatist and the wife

Modern Rifle Wounds.

Wounding an enemy in war Is better
than killing him. for unless he is cap
tured it imposes on his side the burden
Of taking care of him. The Balkan war
has again proved that the bullet Of the
modern high power rifle with its ter
rife speed will go straight through a
man, penetrating the most vital organs
without killing him, and it has even
been found to go through from four to
six men. one behind the other. This
puts them out Of the fight, but at the
same time it is good thing for the
fighter, for 1t gives him a far better
chance for his life.-Popular Mechanics.

VITALITY OF FISH.
The Transportation of Live Fish In .
Frozen Condition.

Frozen Condition.
Fishes belong to the class of animals
that have variable body temperature,
depending on the temperature of their
environment, says Scientific American.
In extreme cold they assume a rigid
condition, in which all of the vital
functions are suspended, while life
still remains present. During several
months of each year some Of the great
rivers of Siberia are frozen solid to the
bottom, but many of the fishes impris.
oned in the ice retain their vitality and
resume their active life when the ice
melts in the spring.
This fact has suggested experiments
in the freezing of live fish for transpor-
tation, which are discussed in the
Fischerei Zeitung. Many years ago the
celebrated physicist Pictet Of Geneva
put fresh water fishes into a tub Of
water. which he kept liquid at the
freezing point for twenty-four hours
and then allowed to freeze slowly into
solid block of ice, which afterward
was cooled gradually to - 20 degrees
@. ( degrees F.. When the ice was
melted, month or even two months
afterward, the fishes began to swim
as briskly as they did before freezing
and showed no symptoms Of i'll health
Similar experiments have recently
been made in France. The fishes are
placed in water which is kept near the
freezing point for a few hours, then at
the freezing point for fifteen to eight
cen hours, and finally frozen by i'm
mersing the vessel into freezing mix
ture producing a cake of ice few
inches thick. in which the frozen fishes
are embedded This cake is wrapped
in cloth and surrounded with heat in
sulating packing to prevent melting
during transportation. 1t is necessary
to thaw the ice very slowly and to
keep the water near the freezing point
for several hours, in order to preserve
| the life of the fishes. Even those which
do not survive are in perfect state of
preservation.
