Power Of tightening.

Lightning has been proved to have
struck building with a force equal
to more than 12.OO0horse power. A
single horse power. in mechanical cal.

therefore, has been proved to be equal
to the raising Of 3S4,000,000 pounds
one foot in a minute. This is equal

MUST TAKE TIME TO REST
Development Of Beauty Depends q
Great Deal on That and on Ones
Environment.

1t cannot be impressed upon us too
often that harmony of surroundings
is absolutely necessary to the devel-
opment Of beauty. It depends on the
soul quality for its inspiration and
growth. The soul quality dies unless
nurtured by such surroundings as are
pleasing.
Each personality must choose the col.
ors and shades that are most soothing
Every woman cannot have her homo
decorated Just as she wishes. But ev.
cry woman can have some one corner
that is her own that is decorated in
the colors and with the things (they
may be very simple and inexpensive)
that appeal to her. When she Is tired
let her go to this corner and find rest
there, reading her favorite authors,
looking at her favorite pictures, sew
ing, crocheting or sitting and thinking.
II It is impossible for such corner
to be had, surely there Is some spot
Of the town or city. some library, mu-
scum, church, park, some place where
she can find rest in the picture that
surrounds her.
Luxury. when you think Of It. is not
of necessity attractive. So often It is
in bad taste that the Joy comes often
in being able not to have to indulge
in It,
Most women are much more attrac-
tive at home. This is because in the
setting of the things they love. which
are part of their personalities, they
are in repose. The woman who Is
beautiful under the glare Of the sun
in all sorts Of places is indeed fortu.
