KEEPING HANDS IN CONDITION
During Frosty Weather They Need
Much Care and Will Repay A.
tention Given.

1t is very difficult to keep the hands
soft in frosty weather, especially If
one Is ones own housemaid.
An inexpensive wash If one has
some leftover milk on hand is to soak
them in warm milk. A bottle Of
glycerin and rose water kept on the
bathroom shelf and applied when the
hands are wet after washing, will
help also. Vaseline may promote a
growth of hair on the hands, but there
is nothing better for loosening dirt
under the nails than a little vaseline
pushed under the nail at night before
retiring; it not only removes the soil,
but lubricates the nail itself and pre-
vents it from becoming brittle.
Bedmaking is hard on nails and 1t
Is advisable to wear an old pair of
washable gloves when tucking in the
sheets.

CURE FOR NERVOUS people
physieians Have Found Work 70 es
- Effective 40 Rest, u Not
More So.

Some physicians are finding that
work y quite as effective a cure for
nervous disorders as ret ever was-if
not more so. How one doctor is prov.
ing this is told in the Survey. He is
Dr. Herbert J. Hall of Marblehead,
Mass.
Doctor Hall discovered that the pa
tent must feel "the call of the job" if
. cure is to be effected. So in 1895 he
established workshop in Marblehead
wherein patients, supervised and
taught by experts, are now making ar
ticles that are salable and are getting
wages for their products. Weaving,
cement work, dyeing and pottery have
been the most successful trades. Jew
elry and metal work have proved too
trying for unframed and unhappy pa
tients to carry through and sell profit
ably. But in the other occupations
about seven thousand dollars worth of
merchandise has been made and sold
each year, although the workshop has
never contained more than thirty-eight
workers at time, many of whom
worked only q few hours day.
Commenting on this DR.. Richard c.
Cabot says: when Doctor Hall joined
his squad of Inconsistencies to the ranks
Of the industrial army he added his
contribution not only to therapeutics,
but to sociology. He attacked the
problem of the sub-standard worker
handicapped in the race Of industry,
but not necessarily excluded from that
inspiring company. He attacked a
problem which faces all who deal with
the consumptive, the alcoholic. the
chronic insane and in fact all chronic
invalids, no matter what their disease.
Rich or poor. they all need work, for
without It they degenerate mentally
and morally"

DESERTS NO LONGER KNOWN
How Modern Man Has Successfully
Removed Natures Obstacles
to Progress.

Nature has set up four kinds of bar
riers to mans conquest Of the earth
mountains, forests, deserts, rivers, an
exchange remarks. The first he can
not remove, so he bores holes through
them for railways. The second he
has, most unwisely, largely cleared
away altogether. The third he is be-
ginning to treat like the forests. The
fourth he is shifting to suit his pur-
poses and to regulate their flow at
will.
Man flies now over all boundaries.
He cuts through isthmuses to remove
the barriers between the seas.
Into the deserts man sends rail
roads, telegraph lines, irrigation en-
gineers. The Great American Des-
ert" marked upon the aliases of our
fathers has ceased to exist. The vast
desert" of northwestern Canada has
become a boundless prairie of waving
wheat. The Landes of Gascony are
now much more than half covered
with pine trees. In 1902, $4,000 square
miles Of the Algerian desert had been
made fruitful by artesian wells. The
"Australian desert" is rapidly being
irrigated and turned into grazing
land. Almost 10000 square miles Of
desert" in India has been reclaimed.
Sir William Willcocks is now engaged
In retaining 10000 square miles Of
the delta of the Tigris and Euphrates
and more than 1000 square miles Of
the Gezireh plain between the Blue
and White Nile are being transformed
into cotton plantations.
Thus is man, by obliterating natural
barriers, improving upon nature.
