This machine should cr taiuly appeal to ull lovers of aquatic sports. Torture Hoonis In Ilussln. Are the torture chambers of the middle ages to bo found In Itupsla to-day? According to the Anglo Russian, a magazine published In London, they are. The Anglo-Russian says: "From Independent Rus sian. Ocrman, French and English sources come heart-slckentng ac counts of systematic tortures prac ticed In Russian prisons upon 'politi cals' with the object of compelling them to betray their friends and sup porters. For a long time such tor tures have been reported from various prisons all over the empire, but the worst atrocities seem to bo habitually perpetrated In tho prisons of Poland and the Baltic provinces. "In Riga, for Instance, a special chamber has been fitted up with all the Instruments of torture known to tho Inquisition of old. Rubber sticks, long pins, pinchers, a rack, and so forth, are used in the process of making the victim 'confess and all this not only by permission of the higher local authorities, but fre quently even In their presence and under their personal guidance. Such things as knocking out the teeth, tearing out the hair and pieces of flesh are ordinary usage. "Camllle Huysman states In the Parisian Le Peuple as a positive fact that women are not exempted from these tortures, that in their case a red hot Iron Is mostly used as the in strument for inflicting pain. No torture In Russia Is legally Inflicted without the knowledge and permis sion of the central government In St. Petersburg, which In such cases never acts without the sanction of the czar himself." "Strangers in New York often comment on the number of stout women they meet, and I believe this Is largely due, to flat house and apartment life." remarked a physi cian with a large family practice. "Take the woman, for Instance, who lves on the top floor of a house with out an elevator, and If she is of a phlegmatic nature a week or more will pass without her leaving tho house. I have some patients or mothers of patients who admit that Sunday or Saturday Is the only day In the week when they go out. Even with housework to do In the average New York flat a woman does not secure exercise of the right sort to keep down her flesh. In tho suburbs or the small cities the house wife climbs the stairs, one of the best exercises for reducing flesh, and sho goes to market dally. Here in New York the average flat house has no lnore than a 80-foot hall to traverse If she wants to visit a neighbor, and she does her ordering through her hutiband or children. This sate meut will be confirmed by any grocer, bakor or manager of u deli catessen shop. Children become very shrewd shoppers, while their mothers take on superfluous flesh." New York PreBS. High Grade Chinese Tea. "Many of the highest-grade Chi nese teas never leave the country that Is, are never exported in com mercial quantities," says a writter, "Tea specialist in Europe and America manage to obtain specimens through corresponding firms in Chi nese export centers, but these samples are not for sale. These rare teas are preserved for occasional comparison and testing with the gen eral commercial teas. They are known as 'unexported teas.' I have known of only one person outside of the tea-producing countries who sup plies the trade or tho general publlo Mth specimens of the rare tens. His prices range from 176 to 1100 a pound. - Nursing Mothers and Ovcr-burdenod Women In all stations of Hfo, whoso vluor and vitality may have lieen undermined and broken -down by over -work, exacting socltil duties, the too frequent lienrliin of children, or other causes, will find In Dr. riereo's Favorite Prescription tho most potent, Invltfnratlnst restoratlvo strrngth Blvoroverdovlsed for their special bene fit.

ATTACHMENTS l'OIt PAN'S. Pimple Method of Raising Cover Without Injury to tho HuimW. So many housewives have suffered burned Angers while examining the contents of a boiling pot that It is small wonder they are anxlotm to LEVER LIFTS COVER. procure some utensil which would obviate this disagreeable feature of housekeeping. An Ohio Inventor seems to have attained the coveted utensil in the very simple attach ment shown in the Illustration. As here shown the cooking pot Is pro vided with a handle of more than the average length. In connection with the handle, In close reach of the user's hand is a small lever. By grasping the latter and forcing It down a connecting rod raises the lid of the pot, the lid being hinged to the edge of the pot close to the han dle. ' There la absolutely no danger of burning the fingers or hand. An other advantage Is the fact that any liquid In the pot can also be drained off Quickly and with ease. GUIDES TO HEALTH. Don't dry your face In a hurry; a quick, anyhow rub coarsens the skin and injures Its beauty. If the nose is shiny use borax water or wash It with cornmeal in stead of soap. For hoarsness beat up the white of an egg. flavor with lemon and sugar and take some occasionally. Hay, sprinkled with a little chloride of lime and left for an hour in a oloaod room will remove the smell of new paint. There can be no health without exorcise and a system of exercise should be practiced that will bring tn play all the muscles of the body. For feet that perspire too freely put a tablespoonful of vinegar In tho foot bath; the soles of the feet may also be rubbed with spirits of camphor. A Curtain Bffect. A pretty way to arrange bedroom window curtain Is this: The ujpe ash la hung with a dainty flowered m as tin. and the lower with a filmy mtvdraa. Doth are simple aaah cur tains and thna will be easily launder ed. Tto colored ourtaln la protected from the light by the shade, which Is usually drawn to the middle of the window. Por this reason the col ored curtain will not be liable to fade. The colored curtain la much pret tier U ruffled with white. This scheme gives a charming touch of color at the wlndowa, but admits of the use of the sash curtain as a soreen for the lower part of the window. AUDITOR'S NOTICE.
