SMALL WAIST CRAZE. Twenty Inches Quite Fnouith and Jklore Than Twenty-Two Not to lie Kutlured, Since it has been decreed that the ehall-waisted, short-hipped figure is the only one acknowledged by fash lon, the necessity for tight-lacing, writes a lady correspondent, has become imper ative. Corsets are worn—often at night as well as all day—which press the waist line in and down to the hips, so that, instead of showing a long, slight curve, they may be forced into short, round curves. Women who wear these corsets live in a kind of torture, and the pressure in time sets up serious in ternal complications, -including heart disease and lung trouble. To such an extent ha 6 the evil grown. It may be mentioned, that at a certain fa mous modiste's orders for gowns from ladies whose waist measurements are over 22 Inches are delicately, but firm ly declined. "We dare not risk our reputation by gowning any but the most fashionable women," explained the principal recent ly, "and no woman with a large waist can look well in a frock designed for one who has cultivated the short-hip figure. So if a customer comes to us wearing the old-fashioned stylo of corset, and does not seem inclined to conform to newer ideas, she must go elsewhere for her gowns. "We have heaps of customers whose measurements are three and four inches emaller than they were last year, and in almost every case this is due to the tightjacing demanded to acquire the new figure. Quite young girls are the worst offenders, and 1 am quite sure we have not made a gown this season for a debutante whose waist measurement exceeded 20 inches." Until women are brave enough to defy fashion the evil will doubtless grow in stead of lessen, and the practice will con tinue to add appreciably to the death roll and fill the incurable hospitals with women who have ruined themselves for the sake of a small waist. —Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. Pnttlnjc the Bnby to Sleep. "I had tried everything to make my little one sleepy at the right time," said one of the progressive mothers, "and all to no avail. He simply would not sleep ■when I put him to bed. I had to forbid the 'romp with papa' after dinner, be cause it seemed to wake the boy up so thoroughly. I tried rubbing his feet and putting a hot water bag in the bed on cold nights. I tried feeding him just before taking off his clothes. Nothing had any effect on his excited nerves. Then the doctor suggested a remedy that worked like a charm. Taking off Jack's clothes. I sponged off his spine in hot water, beginning at the neck and pass ing down slowly and gently, and so over and over again. I kept the wa ter as hot as could be borne, and con tinued the treatment until the skin was red. Then the back was dried gently and the child put into bed. Either the gentle downward stroke or the hot wa ter had a soothing effect on the nerves. Anyway, sleep wa3 sure to follow.

Don't over-manicure the hands, or they will become so tender as to be eas ily reddened and roughened. Don't wash the bauds oftener than necessary, and dry them thoroughly aft er every washing. Don't neglect the palms of the hands. They need attention as much as the backs of the hands. Rub an emollient —perfumed honey is good—into the palms with thumb and forefinger. Don't neglect massaging and knead ing of the hands, in ordei- to secure good circulation, which helps to keep the hands white and make the skin pliant. Don't forget to pinch the ends of the fingers now and then. This will do a good deal toward making the fingers taper. Don't polish the nails too highly, or they become so brittle that the slightest contact with anything hard breaks them down to the quick, thereby causing in tense pain. Don't file or scrape the nails; either process only helps to thicken them. They should be rubbed down with the very fine emery and cinnabar powder, which is used for polishing shell and ivory. Don't allow the nails to remain long soiled with anything that will stain them. Don't always use a nail polisher or buffer. Once in awhile try polishing the nails on the palm of the hand. Don't trim the nails to sharp points. If there is anything that will set the teeth on edge it is to shake hands and feed a slight graze from such claws. It is feline. Don't always use scissors to trim the nails; a file is better to round off the edges. Nothing tends to injure the nails so much as persistent trimming with a pair of scissors. Don't think that one rule applies to all finger nails. No two sets of nails can be treated quite alike, not alone because of their texture, but of their formation. To trim some nails overmuch renders them thick and ugly. To leave others too long uncut increases their tendency to brittleness. Don't wear rings that are too small. The Inevitable result is disfigurement from red and swollen hands and knuck les. Don't wear gloves stitched with col ors. They make the hands look larger. Don't wear gloves that are a size toe small or that fasten too tightly. This prevents free circulation and makes the hands red. Don't think the appearance of the hands a trifling consideration. A beau tiful hand may be even more fascinating than a beautiful face, and nothing more strongly marks the person of birth and breeding.—Washington Star. Settlnic Colors In Fnhrfcn. It is impossible to tell whether a color i is fast before washing, but by far the ' safest plan is to "set" the color before i it goes to the tub for the first time. One of the best methods of settling delicate i colors consists in simply making a | strong brine of cold water and salt and soaking the garment from i 2 to 24 hours. 1 Of course this should be done just before going to the laundry, and the salt should ; not be allowed to dry in it. This is es j pecially good for all shades of pink and 1 green, and colors once set this way will ' be bright as long as it would be possible to expect it. A strong solution of alum and water is good, particularly with blue, and the more delicate shades of | brown, but its effect Is not so lasting as j that of salt and it is sometimes neces i sary to renew the bath after the first ; three or four washings. Some people recommend solutions of lead and cop peras, but as both of these are poisonous drugs, it is better to avoid them. —Chi- cago Daily News. Gfttlns; Around a Diflloultf.

GREEN FOOD FOR PIGS. Engllnli Farmer (Jives IHn Men* off flow to Make Cheap and Ex cellent Fork. A writer in the London Live Stock Journal, who seems to be talking out of { his own experience, says: "Now, it is questionable whether | there is a better and cheaper way of { making pork than to grow a field or two 3f rape, clover or grass and clover root mixed, and run therein a number of strong young shotes during the summer months, shutting them up for a period of from six to eight weeks In the au tumn and feeding them on some good fattening food, when they will be ready for the butcher. A pig should make good pork, running from It to 12 stone, in sev ; »n months from birth, It is asserted. In no way can he do it better than on the : lines Indicated. Frame, bone and form can be developed to perfection, and good pasturage, combined with a daily feed i of grain food or milk and meal. "While good grass, clover or vetches and clover make excellent pasture, I rape gives still better results. Piga | thrive and feed on It amazingly. A | farmer, a neighbor of mine, who keeps ! a herd of approximately 200 pigs, speaks In the highest terms of rape as a green ; food for them. It is a useful crop in | other ways, as lambs do exceedingly well l on it. "It would really appear that the sya- J tern of grazing pigs could be extended ! from its present narrow and restricted limits with decided advantage. A field ! or two of rape, clover, etc., for summer j pasturing, with, perhaps, an acre or so j of artichokes in addition, would well re pay cultivation where pigs are kept In any numbers." SEVERE ROOT PRUNING. System tins Many Advocates and Is Enpeclnlly- Applicable Where Climate In Dry. The advocates of severe root pruning I for trees being transplanted seem to jbe increasing in number. According ! to Luther Burbank this system is espe ' cially advantageous for planting in dry climates. In a recent issue of the Rural New Yorker he says: Every i experienced nurseryman trims all the 1 small side roots off his nursery stock aefore planting. This Is a universal :ustom, and in my experiments I have found that seedlings and very young trees should always be treated in this way under all circumstances. A young leedling tree which has had its roots ! cut off to within a few inches of the collar, and the top almost wholly re moved, will in all cases make a far better growth than the one planted with all its roots, even if the top should be removed. Of course It Is necessary to remove the top in proportion to the amount of roots removed, and, strange as it may seem, it Is especially neces sary to prune the roots short when they are to be planted on land that has little moisture near the surface. For the trees having many side roots divide their forces in starting in all directions, Instead of making a good, substantial main tap root, which the closely pruned seedling will always proceed to do. Though of universal application, these facts are especially applicable to dry climates like California and Texas. The man who takes care of your dalrjr cows should be a gentle man. CHAIN OF SUGGESTION. Onf Ilarhrr After the Oilier Kad mm Idea to Offer the I'ertinaclous Customer. "A man np in my country had a melan aholly experience," declared Senator fc'rye, of Maine. "This man determined to get a shave every other day and to let every barber cut his hair who suggested it. At the end of a week three different barbers had intimated that the hair need ed trimming and were told to 'go ahead Mid trim.' As the hair was now beyond the trimming stage, the fourth barber', advice, 'that clipping would be beneficial, * was accepted. 'Now,' thought the man, 'the next barbar will be satisfied that j when I say 'shave/ I mean 'shave' and | nothing more. Vet when the iifth barber S mentioned 'singeing' he permitted his close i ly-cropped hair to be singed. The si:.th • night was on a Saturday, lie went to still another barber, now satisfied that when he said 'shave' no barber would have the temerity to hint at an attempt to reduce the length of his hair. " 'Did you ever try Dr. Comeup's hair restorer}' questioned the barber as he took up a bottle. "The Indians had a quicker way of get ting at a man's scalp than these barbers," commented Senator Chandler. "Ves," said the Maine statesman, "but we are living under modern, not ancient barbarism." For a Bad Hack. Sabra, Montana, Oct. 19th.—A great many men in this neighborhood used to complain of pains in the back, but now scarcely one can be found who has any such trouble. Mr. Oottlieb Mill is largely responsible for the improvement, for it was lie who first of all found the remedy for this Backache. He lias recommended it to all t his friends and neighbors, and in every J case it has had wonderful success. Mr. Mill says:— "For many years I had been troubled j with my Kidneys and pains in the small ' of my back. I tried many medicines but did not derive any benefit until last fall, when I bought a dozen boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills. After using them a few days I began to improve, my back quit aching and I felt better and stronger all around. "I will keep them in the house right alonp, for in my opinion they are the best medicine in the market to-day, and if my back should bother me again, I will use nothing else." Never Affala.
