A GIRL'S NATURE.
Little Sbxas That, It Is Said,
Fbaacs of Character.
Much' of a girl's nature is betrayed
by the little act of brushing a speck
off a man's coat. If she picks off the
thread or imaginary bit of lint very
carefully between the thumb and fore
finger it is nu indisputable sign that
she is a woman of a vor:dJracticaI and
executive character.
On the other hand, if a girl should
brush the coat lapel of her fiance very
softly and tenderly with the second
and third finger of her band in her en
deavor to remove an invisible speck it
is a sure sign that she is more senti
mental than practical. The man wh
marries her will live in a continual at
mosphere of romance and bad house
keeping. There Is still another type of girl
who will brush the speck off a man's
coat with n broad sweep of the hand
in which all tho fingers and thumb play
a part. She is in all probability an
athletic girl wha excels at tennis, golf
and the links and who will prove a
high spirited, strong minded woman
after marriage.
Then, again, the girl who puts a
flower in a man's coat with her hand
held jauntily upturned from the wrist
and the flower held in the tips of her
fingers is sure to be something of a
coquette, while the maid who gives
3'ou only the tips of her fingers when
she greets yon in the drawing room or
public street is probably an ambitious

BATHING AND HEALTH.
Benefits to Be Derived From Cold
Water aad Itabbiaa.
A cold bath we might as well get at
the straight of the thing is not really
a matter of cleanliness so much as -a
matter of getting the skin livened up
and the capillaries and veins next to
the surface full of blood. Ice cold
water or scalding hot water will do
that, but tepid water no, no!
The skin is almost exactly the same
kind of an excreting organ as the
lungs. The same products seep
through the pores as are carried off in
the breath, and the air purifies the
blood in the same way. But the great
er part of the skin is smothered up in
clothes day and night What the cold
water of the bath dissolves is matter
well away. And the rubbing dry is
pretty vigorous exercise if yon want
to know. Any rubbing Is bound to
push the blood along toward the heart
and help the circulation, because there
are valves in the veins which prevent
the blood 'from going in any other di
rection than toward the heart. What
ever loose flakes of outer cuticle are
rubbed off we needn't worry about;
plenty more where they came from.
The extra food the increased appetite
demands will make good that trifling
loss. Eugene Wood in Everybody's
Magazine.
THE HEART MUSCLES.
How They Do Their 'Work aad Why
They Sever Tire.
It is generally supposed that the
heart is an organ which never takes a
rest. But this is not so. The muscles
of the heart are not incessantly work
ing. The heart contains four cham
berstwo upper, called the auricles, and
two lower, the ventricles. In the beat
ing of the heart the auricles first con
tract and force the blood into the ven
tricles; they then relax while the ven
tricles repent the process. Then fol
lows a pause, during which the heart
is perfectly at rest.
The contraction of the auricles takes
one-fifth of the time between one beat
and the next, the contraction of the
ventricles two-fifths and the pause two
fifths, so that the heart is really rest
ing two-fifths of its time. Sleep also
aids in relieving the muscles of the
heart, as it considerably diminishes
the rapidity of its action.
This alternation of rest and activity
endows the heart muscles with their
capacity for untiring work.
