LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS BY BLANCHE BEACON. A FINE CARRIAGE MEANS A FINE MIND. I must again refer those people who are always talking about "leaving na ture alone" to the fact that walking upright la man's Improvement upon nature. It la not natural for man to walk on two legs, but because he did It ho has developed a thumb and a pre hensile hand, and he has also developed a power to think which no animal, which atlll walks on four legs, possesses. I do not think there Is anything which has as great an Influence upon the brain as the way one carries one's self. The slinking sort of a carriage always belongs to the person who has a slinking sort of temperament. The woman who walks with her head up and her chest out la one to bo trusted. Now here Is a theory that Is gain ing ground with some of our greatest scientists. The mere physical fact of your holding your body upright will strengthen your mind and will. The person who shambles and halts la losing his power to decldo. The woman who allows herself to settle Is undeniably growing old. One of the best ways of keeping the figure perfectly upright Is to walk about your room with a book on your head. This will give you the pose of body and poise of mind which you peed. Pon't fall Into the silly fashion which seems to prevail just at present among so many young women who are trying to look uncorseted, and who are walking with sunken shoulders and protruding knees. It Is not only un graceful, but It will surely have a bad efTect upon your mind and tempera ment. Already it seems as though I can see a difference In the way the fash ionable talks.

"Of what use will a hand glass be to me?” you ask.

Kor just a few little blackheads, It Is probable that a good •crubblng of your face with a camel’H hair face brush and green soap will be all that is necessary. Take the few' straggling hairs out with a pair cf tweezers and rub the place over with peroxide of hydrogen and ammonia In •qual parts. That same hand glass will probably tell yw' to brush your eyebrows care fully and that your teeth need atten tion from your dentist. It may ap prise you that you are getting an ugly wrinkle between your eyes from squinting. He sure that you look at your ears —I have seen a woman’s ears that were full of blackheads, whose face and hair wore otherwise Immaculate. This woman would have been much ashamed If some one had told her of this. After you have powdered your face and neck, (don’t neglect your neck,) take your hand glass and look at the places powdered very carefully and dust off all superfluous powder lightly with a baby's hair brush. There Is nothing that looks more vulgar than a woman with patches of powder all over her face. You can make your hand glass your best friend, and don’t forget to smile back your gratitude for Its kindness before you put It down, for that smile may remain on your Ups all day.

ENGLAND ARMS HERSELF AGAINST AIR INVASION Gun mounted on submarine boat (top left), a dirigible as seen from below (fop right); a 6.5 cm. air snip gun for field service (bottom). Monstrous, mysterious shapes, loom ing up large and dwindling again into the star-spaces with whir of propel lers and a throaty purr of petrol en gines have aroused many Englishmen to a terror that amounts almost to a craze. ‘‘To us, the sea; to our foes, the air,” they cry. They fear that Eng land’s proud isolation is to be lost be fore the searching flight of French and German airships, which in times of peace can spy out the secrets they will use to deadly advantage should war ever come. England is weak in aerial navy, and for the present seeks merely to de fend Itself against the possibility of such a state of affairs. To that end parliament passed an act forbidding the unauthorized flying of air craft over certain specified districts wherein lie important fortifications; while for eign airships before flying over the Isles must get passports from British consuls. Parliament would warn of Infringe ments of this law by pillars of smoke by day and signals fires and rocket* at night; with penalty for disregard, * fusillade from guns that swing their muzzles from nadir to zenith upon carriages' of marvelous ingenuity. The shells by day would emit smoke, which, hanging upon the air, would indicate to the gunner in case ho had missed the correction he must make In hi* aim.

Different books In the canon serve different uses. The most "practical’’ counsel In the whole collection Is found lp the book of Proverbs. Whitelaw Reid once said that this was the best volume ’of business ad vlco that a young man setting out In the world could read. It has less to do with the heavenlles than with this present life. The proverbs are the crystallized wisdom of observers of mankind. They know the world. They warn the reader of the way to failure and they give good counsel for the sort of conduct that wins. ThlB Is the best collection of maxims on "Buccess” ever written. The mind that 1b thoroughly saturated with the book of Proverbs has mastered an education In sagacity. Like all great treatises on life, the book of Proverbs postulates God. Character and conduct are, at base, matters of re lationship with the Highest. Any wisdom which stops short of heaven Is not ade quate for earth. 1 dom's ways are set forth fully and In detail by the proverb-makers. These terse truths are as direct and sure as the counsel of the policeman to a strang er bewildered In the city’s streetB. The “fool” appears often In these trench ant utterances of the proverb-makers— wise men blink no facts. Their day Is not limited to the rosy sunrise of op timism. They accept the existence of folly as of wisdom, of evil as of good. Through this labyrinth of realities they chart a path for seeking feet to follow. Since It Is better to let the bible speak for Itself than to speak about the bible, I quote some characteristic passages from the book of Proverbs, instead of merely commenting upon them: "The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge; but the foolish despise wis dom and Instruction.” “My son, If sinners entice thee, consent thou not.” “My son, If thou wilt receive my words, and lay up my commandments with thee; bo as to incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thy heart to understanding; If thou seek her as silver, and search for her as for hid treasures; then shalt thou un derstand the fear of Jehovah, and And the knowledge of God.” "Trust In Jehovah with all thy heart, and loan not upon thine own understand ing: In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and Ho will direct thy paths.” "For whom Jehovah loveth he reprov eth; even as a father the son In whom he delighteth.” "Wisdom Is the principal thing: there fore get wisdom; yea. with all thy get ting get understanding,” "But the path of the righteous is as the dawning light, that shinoth more and more unto the perfect day.** "Go to the ant. Uiou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise; which having no chief, overseer, or ruler, provtdeth her broad In the summer, and gathcreth her food In the harvest. "Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as a robber, and thy want as an armed man." "He that walketh uprightly walketh Burely; but he that perverteth his ways shall be known." "The blessing of Jehovah. It maketh rich; and he Rddeth no sorrow therewith.” “When pride oometh, then comoth shame: but with the lowly Is wisdom.” “As a ring of gold In a swine’s snout, ■o Is a fair woman that Is without dls cretion.” “There is that scattereth, and increaseth yet more; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want.” * “Walk with wise men and thou shalt be wise; but the companion of fools shall smart for it.” “He that is slow to anger Is of great understanding; but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.” “He that oppreeseth the poor reproach eth his Maker; but he that hath mercy on the needy honoreih Him.” “Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people. “Better a dinner of herbs, where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.” “When a man’s ways please Jehovah, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. Better is a little, with right eousness, than great revenues with injus tice. 0 “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man. but the end thereof are the ways of death.” “He that Is slow to anger Is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit, than ho that taketh a city.” “A friend loveth at all times; and a brother is born for adversity.” “Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise; when he shutteth hi» lips, he is esteemed as prudent.” A Ghastly Sport. From the Christian Herald. That prize fighting is a relic of barbar ism and should be legislated out of exis tence is brought home to the average mind with intensified conviction by the killing of Luther McCarty at Calgary, Alberta, recently. A champion in full health enters the roped arena and a few moments later Is dead of a neck-breaking blow, received in what the professionals denominate a “fair fight.” This is the eleventh Instance in recent years in which a fistic encounter has ended in manslaughter. Such occur rences cause only a passing thrill; they rarely arouse sufficient indignation to make them an object of prohibitive legis lation, and the mankiller usually gets off with a nominal punishment. And we call ourselves civilized and humane; although when the old savage that is hidden in most men comes to the surface In a modern prize ring mob, one would hardly suspect that it belonged to the Twentieth century. How Hagenback Filled Contract. From the Christian Herald. , Karl Hagenback, who died recently, was the most renowned animal collector and dealer In the world. He supplied nearly all the menageries and boos in three con tinents. He kept his animals in a large park at Steillngen near Hamburg. Dur ing his last years he did not go far from home, and took no risks from wild ani mals. In 1905 the German government asked him if he would furnish 1,000 drome daries, provide saddles for each, and trans port them thousands of miles from Hast Africa to German Southwest Africa, and have the first shipment of 800 beasts ready In three months. He said that he could. He sent his brother and other trusty men to do the buying and set sail in a vessel he had chartered and fitted up especially for the purpose. He could not find any saddle to suit him, so ho invented one and had the saddlers of Hamburg make them. He had his first shipment delivered in three months, and then the rest of the 1,000 were furnished. The German gov ernment was so pleased with the animals, their quality, and the speed of their de livery, that it took another 1,000 of them from him. Nightfall.

MOST OF US WAKE UP EVERY MORNING WITH THAT TIRED FEELING People Do Not Get Enough Sleep, One Health Expert Declares. HE SUBMITS HIS REMEDY Once Each Week Man Should Spend 24 Consecutive Hours In Bed to Recuperate, He Says. Prom London Answers. Two thousand years ago, when Brit ain was peopled witn a strong, rough race of men and women, sleep was ta ken as seriously as hunting the for ests for food, and the Briton awoke from his deep slumbers with a splen did stretch, as the red sun rose over the hills! But today it is a very different story. Most of us wake up with “that tired feeling,” rebelling against the com mands of our alarm clocks, and feeling very often that we would give all our small change for just one little extra half hour between the sheets. The reason Is not far to seek. We do not get sufficient sleep. Eight hours is generally regarded as the utmost necessary for our health; yet even this meager portion is often, through the necessities of w'ork, cut down to seven hours, which reduces our annual per iod of rest by an average clerk's sum mer holiday. One hour a day for 365 days equals more than a fortnight. This is why we are not able to watch the sun rise in summer without paying dearly for it in yawns later on. And this, also, is why, in order to get even with nature, we have to resort to doc tors’ medicines, special physical exer cises and dogged “srrrile cures.” All very well in their way, certainly, but all quite unnecessary. Sleep For 24 Hours. Once a week,” a health expert re cently declared, “every man should spend 24 consecutive hours in bed.” Whether we agree with this state ment or not, it is evident that we were never intended or built to live such strenuous existences as the Average person lives today. We have only to glance around at the examples which many animals set us to see how very far away from original nature our civ ilization is leading. A marmot sleeps for a whole month at a time without having to worry about losing its berth or place in the world when it wakes up again. The grizzly bear practically snores through an entire winter, because he knows that while he can keep his health and strength he can always ob tain his food when he requires it. Ris ing and falling shares don’t affect him. In the same way the caterpillar takes a lo ngbeauty sleep in its chrysalis during the period of its life which cor responds more or less to the cramming schooldays of the human boy. Tack On a Few Hours. What w'ould the human being be called by his associates if he allowed himself to relax to this extent? , The writer does not suggest that, from this day onward, you should en deavor to emulate the marmot or the bear or the caterpillar. But if your condition in life allows you to tack on your usual allowance an extra seven or 14 hours of sleep a week—that is to say a fortnight to a month a year—bet ter health is bound to follow. Of course, the “rest student” must be guided largely by his special char acteristics. He cannot disregard his age and sex, any more than he can at tempt to copy the bird, which divides its 24-hour day into four alternate periods, of rest and activity. The ex tremes of youth and age, for Instance, require more sleep than is necessary to persons in their prime. Individual considerations and characteristics must always be taken into account and weighed in the balance. The best test by which one can as certain whether enough sleep is being obtained or not is the test of energy. Energy the Best Test. If you can spring from your bed with the freshness which most of us only gain fully after a cold morning tub and rub, then you have slept your due. If you feel tired and sluggish, you may be nearly sure that you do not spend sufficient of your life In bed, and the sooner you set about repairing the evil the better. Remember, too, that your revised sleeping hours will have to get into good running order before they show what real benefit they are pro viding. People are too apt to give up a good thing through being over-im patient to see the beneficial effects. Blarney Saved the Day. \ Dublin Letter In the Brooklyn Eagle. An Interesting Incident of the visit to Ireland of Mr. Peake, Australian pre mier, and Mr. O'Loughlin, speaker of the Australian legislative assembly, has just come to light, it appears that a young barefooted boy was selling newspapers one day outside the Gres ham hotel in Dublin. After proffering one to Mr. O’Loughlin he started a con versation about Australia and asked: “Would your honor take me there?” The speaker said he would be glad to take the youngster If he could be sure his mother would consent. The next morning the young hopeful, washed and scrubbed, but still bare footed, presented himself at the hotel, asked for Mr. O'Loughlin. and told him he had got his mother’s consent. "But your mother doed not know who I am.” said the speaker. Yes. she does,” replied the boy, and then came a touch of native blarney: “Saw your photo in the papers this morning, and says you must be a very good man.” In the afternoon the sealter inter viewed the mother, and as result has arranged to pay the expenses of the bov out to Australia and give him a start in life under the southern cross. 4 WILD FLOWERS. ♦ 4 - ♦ 4 Thoreau. 4 4 How fitting to have every day 4 4 in a vase of water on your table 4 4 the wild flowers of the season 4 4 which are just blossoming.

Here are some of the questions putl to the members of the graduating class:'. Do you smoke? Have you stopped smoking since en-< tering college or have you adopted the! habit since entering?

What man in the street knows or cares anything about valency? Or] perceives in, let us say, the allotropicj modifications of Bulphur an analogy' to anything of practical Interest to] him? Yet these things have much to! do with our daily bread, and may fig ure largely in tho statement of somei bakers’ strike. Thus Professor Katz, of Amsterdam,, in studying the question of what chem ists call valency, has been invesiga tlng tho reactions. He finds that the] fresh bread which most men prize and; tho stale bread which only some dys peptics tolerate are simply modiflca-: tlons of the same substance, compar able with the aforesaid nllotropic mod-. Iflcatlons of sulphur. But what causes: the chango? Nothing but tho change of temperature. If bread is kept at a' high temperature it remains un changed. Or if it is immediately re duced to a very low temperature and] is kept there, the chemical changes are: so slow and slight ns to be negligible.! It is, therefore, proposed in Holland to utilize this discovery through the establishment of large storage ware: houses, either hot or cold, in whioh reserves of bread shall be accumulated and kept perpetually froBb, for use in1 case of such emergencies as a general1 strike of bakers or a temporary scarc ity of supplies of grain.
