THE HISTORY OF MANKIND.

king asked the chief doctor, Zeb. what
the train might mean.

piled the sage.
The king babe them return and

read it and not spend the residue of
his life upon the task.

The doctors began their toll again.
Many died, and while the book was
still unfinished, the king, too, fell sick
with a mortal malady. On his death
bed he summoned Zeb, for a consum-
ing desire had come upon him to know
the history before his spirit left him.
The doctor came.

Exercising For eraee.

To be graceful n must learn how
to relax readily. Stiff, hard muscles
are aver foes to grace. for, as a rule.
grace should mean relaxation well
controlled. To this end all of the mus
cles of the body should have more
or less exercise. not necessarily vio-
lent, but at least sufficient to bring I'M
used muscles into play.
One excellent exercise for bringing
into play unused muscles is that of
steadying oneself by holding light

then kicking. not exceedingly high.
eight times with each leg-twice for
ward, twice backward and twice to
each side. 1t is said, too. that besides
exercising unused muscles this exer-
else frees and stimulates the large
nerves of the lower portion of the spi-
nal column. and this, Of course, makes
for health. This exercise may be re-
peated every day or every other day

Care of Arms and Neck.

Since fashion has decreed that wo-
men shall wear gowns in which there
appears not the vestige of q sleeve.
waists that are cut low in the front
and more than low in the back, it be-
hooves the who wishes to wear
them to pay a good deal of attention
to the of her neck n
arms.
Most women who have not bestowed
some care on this part Of the anatomy
will find the elbow hard, callous and
%unsightly, but a nightly massage OF
the joint with a good cold cream after
the elbow has been thoroughly cleansed
with pure soap, warm water n a
brush will drive away the callous spots
and make the skin soft, pink and
beautiful. When massaging the arms
always remember to rub downward
with long, strong strokes.
AS for the neck, any disfiguring
marks should be dabbed with lemon
Juice or diluted peroxide. In fact, to
sponge the entire neck and shoulders
with some powerful astringent Of this
order would be a good idea before be-
ginning treatment, as the lemon juice
or peroxide will do much to whiten
the skin. After this bleaching fluid
has been allowed to dry and remain
on the skin for an hour or more the
neck and shoulders should be washed
free of the astringent with a good o
and warm water and a good cold
cream rubbed into the skin.
Remember In m~assaging the throat
that a downward stroke is the one to
employ. As for massage of the shout
ders, no woman can do this for her
self, and If she needs this treatment
to improve her appearance she will
have to call to her aid a mother, sis
ter or a professional masseuse.

Care Of Eyebrows and Lashes.

Don't neglect your eyebrows and eye
lashes. allowing them to get straggly
and thin. Use an eyebrow brush reg
ularly, brushing the brows smoothly
and firmly and gently brushing the
eyelashes upward.
Petroleum jelly is splendid for thick
ening and darkening the brows and
lashes, and so, for the matter of that,
is cocoa butter. Apply a little every
night, and you will find in a very short
time your eyebrows and eyelashes viii
improve.
Be careful, though, how you apply
either petroleum jelly or cocoa butter
to the lashes. You require only the
least little bit. Take a match, round
the edge of which a tiny piece Of cot
ton wool has been tightly twisted, and
dip into petroleum jelly or cocoa butter.
Apply under the eyelashes, working
upward. This will cause them to take
a pretty upward curl. Never clip the
~eyelashes. BY doing SO you will work
them lasting harm.

Royal Beasts.

No other race Of animals al show
such a history as the black oxen that
draw the funeral carr of Japanese en-
perors. They are Of a special breed
and for centuries have been kept for
the sole use of the imperial family.
The cream colored Hanoverian horses
reserved for the British royal family
are nearly as famous, but some OF
these animals once wore the yoke Of
an alien and an enemy. When Ma
poleon occupied Hanover In 1904 ne
seized all the cream colored horses in
the royal stables and took them to
Paris. The state carriage at his coro-
nation was drawn by eight of these
animals.
This insult. as he regarded It, made
George III. so angry that he would not
use the others of the breed that were
stabbed In London. Until the fall of
Napoleon the state coach was always
drawn by black horses when the king
opened parliament
