In the eighteenth century pages were employed em-ployed to open doors and hand books, etc., to save their mistresses' fine, delicate deli-cate hands. Luckily, we are far more sensible now, and honest work and healthful recreation are widely indulged in, but with the swing of the pendulum we must not neglect and have uncouth hands. Try to cultivate repose of the ha ids. There is a type of restless woman wo-man nowadays who is alwavs plucking pluck-ing at her dress or fidgeting' with her hands. She will never have long, restful-looking hands. Wear loose gloves out-doors, looser gloves indoors, whenever you are doing any rough or dirty work. Never omit that precaution. So many women will garden without gloves, or rub up silver or dust a fatal mistake. The nerishlnp- and srinr, e comes more quickly from using hot water wa-ter and sitting over hot fires than anything. any-thing. The hand should be treated, at any age, as carefully as you would treat a baby's skin. If you bear that ever in mind, you can hope to have a beautiful hand into old age. To sum up the whole position: Soft tepid water never hard, never cold, never hot. The finest and softest of towels, which, if impracticable as a luxury, you can find an excellent substitute sub-stitute in soft old silk pocket handkerchiefs, handker-chiefs, and a cream well rubbed in at least twice -s day. if the hands are stained a very little borax or ammonia may be added to the water, but sparingly. spar-ingly. Do not be persuaded ever to wear gloves at night. Skin foods nowadays, now-adays, if the right one be used,' do not dry greasily. They sink in, so hot, un-ventilated un-ventilated gloves are uite unnecessary. unneces-sary. The love of glycerine dies hard in a w6man. It is a good old-fashioned remedy for. Vo ugh, red hands, handed down from our mothers and grandmothers, grand-mothers, but it really is harmful for the skin. It makes hairs grow freely, and coarsens in time the texture. If, however, how-ever, it must be used, this prescription will make it comparatively innocuous: Glycerine 114 drachms Borax 1 drachms Mix these thoroughly all together, and then apply daily to the entire hand and wrist, especially round the knuckles knuck-les and nails.

We keep in memory mem-ory The days and months that came witn thee, And learn the lessons they have taught To help in days that yet shall be. Some days it seemed that pleasure's cup Was brimming full of love and cheer, And all earth's songbirds were in tune To make a glad and joyous year. But others came so filled with care " We scarce hnrt time to ftiinlr r.f a,mi.r But wearied mind and body, too, And chafed at what he day had brought. Then with no warning trouble came. And gave us days so wrought with pain That hope and comfort fled far out of reach And joy was drowned in sorrow's heavy rain. Still other days came, too, with broken vows, And stinging words and friendship so untrue It seemed earth's sky had grown so dark The sun couid ne'er again Thine through. Yet all are gone in unreturning flight, And he who rules the years always Doth teach us that the darkest hours Are stepping-stones to glorious days. So. dear Old Year, a last good-bye; Take with thee all the wrong and strife, And may the New Y'ear bring to us The way which lords to higher life. Sizing Up Woman. It is one, of man's joys. He thinks he does it well. Much too often he is all wrong. He fails for a number of reasons. First he takes the charmer that appeals ap-peals to him. , i He likes her pretty and with a lot of ruffles. He prefers one who devotes her time to dazzling him. Naturally such a sweet thing is not the many-sided type. She may even fib about a friend in order to gain his entire devotion. Then, when he finds it out, he feels himself aggrieved to the point of declaring de-claring all women false. i I Wisdom's Whispers. !

She Knew. J A Washington public school teacher was quoting to her pupils the sayings of various wise men touching the value of silence on certain occasions, when fhe gave them the proverb to the effect that w ehave one mouth and two ears, in order that we may listen twice as much as we speak. A day or so after the instruction the teacher, to see how well the lesson had been learned, asked a girl pupil the question, as above: Little Mabel had forgotten the philosopher's philos-opher's maxim: but the1 quesiton did not seem a difficult one to answer. "Because," said she, "we should not have room in our face for two mouths, and we should look too crooked if we had only one ear." "No, Mabel," said the teacher, "that is not the reason. Perhaps Rosalie can tell us." ' "Yessum," responded Rosalie, "it's that way so we can let what we hear go in at one ear and come out at the other:" For the Eyes. Vaseline is one of the very best, things for improving the growth of both the eyelashes and brows, but, perhaps per-haps it costs so little, few try It. In the first place, it is one of the few applications that helps the eyes. If the lids are inflamed and sore, vaseline vase-line reduces the inflammation; if the eyes are tired, hot water baths, followed follow-ed by a speck of vaseline, helps to rest and restore them. , i |
