Illllon Dollar Bond Issue Resolu
Resolution on Calendar.
HCl INIERESf IN THE QUESTION
Some Members Seem to Do Consider?
ing Malter Seriously, and There Will
be an Argument?History of the
Movement.
The all important matter on tho
calendar for tonight'* regular meet?
ing of the bonfd of aldermen la the
resolution adopted ly the common
council directing the lire department
and water committee to Inquire Into
tho advisability nnd feasibility or the
city owning water works, and further
authorizing the committee to prepare
and send to the legislature n bill au?
thorizing the city to ls!-)e bonds for
?1.000.000 In tho event) the water
works proposition Is round to be ad
vlsnblc ami feasible.
Considerable Interest in this matter
has been manifested, and It Is prob?
able that there will be a large number
of citizens on hand to hear the alder
tttcjti discuss It. A strong eCTorl ?111
t?o made to get tho action of Iho com?
mon council concurred III, but He re
wilt be soino hard work ngniust It,
and there Is no unanimity upon a
prediction of the result.
The million dollar resolution comes
to the aldermen as an nniondmeni ol
tho resolution they passed at a recent
special meeting. The original reso?
lution was practica?) identical with
tho substitute except for the fact Hint
Hie former mentioned :i bond IssUO for
only (100,000.
?ldormun Walker offered Iho ori?
ginal resolution with the view of hav?
ing the city purchase certain ponds
in tho nelghlorhood of Wllllamaburg.
Ho declared that be was not prepared
to Hiiy Unit the ?lt}' should own water
works at this time, but thought Iho
ponds should bo purchased while they
wero nvallable. When the resolution
reached the council, however, munici?
pal ownership resulted. Some mem?
bers thought ui the time that the
Kcfehum resolution was simply a
measure or getting rid or Mr. Walk?
er's movement, but later It developed
that the minion dollar proposition wa
receiving serious consideration.

SPIRITUAL BEAUTY.
it Lenvent a Whole Lump of Physical
Homeliness.
While the desire f<?r iiersonnl at?
tractiveness hi a proper one, ? c should
remember Hint physical beauty Is not
the chief or only thing. It Is a gift of
Ood and should lx; cultivated by every
legitimate means.
In general there are three wide?
spread theories In regard to this no?
tion-first, that beauty Is subjective
end entirely wltblu US; second, thnt
It is objective mid that it Is due to the
qualities of the thing which awakens
pleasure witbln us, and, third, that It
I-? halfway between these views and
thnt It represents that thought which
is aroused within us by the contem?
plation of n worthy thing. A subjec?
tive und nu abject Ivo element lsjth
combine to make up the beautiful.
And this accounts for the seemingly
separate tastes 'among different Indi?
viduals, for. na Is well known, the
mother never has anything hut n iwnu
tlful child. It Is the clement of appre?
ciation and love which ruler* here.
I.ovo cnu make us co'or blind. Love,
which bides the deformities and
smooth the wrinkles of old age. Is all
prevailing.
There are, broadly speaking, three
conditions which tend to the establish?
ment and maintenance of personnl
beauty,
First of these Is good physical health,
It ought to be a matter of supreme
Importance for women to cultivate
good health, And wnthen of the pres?
ent time are wiser than those of past
ages In this respect, for they recognise
the value Of proper outdoor exercises
nn?l take part In these accordingly.
While dolug this It Is Just ns essen
tlal to avid the bnrmful activities,
such nn dissipation, etc.. which have a
counteracting effect on tho constitu?
tion.
Further, you cannot too absolutely
turn your back on the numberless ti"
'rum medicines and Ihptors thnt are
often the direct cause of a ease of
broken down health. Above all. live
nccording to the rules of health.
A second condition of physical beau
ty Is mental activity. A cultured and
retlncd mind will reveal Its beallaful
effect on the fnce.
Thus In many old women, where
mentnllty no longer exists. It Is not
strange that we find n countenance
that is ugly and unattractive.
The third coudltlon of beauty is char?
acter, which will sooner or loter reveal
Itself In the human visage. Every
phystoguomist knows tbi?.
The young woman who Indulges lu a
resentful disposition will show It In
her face, while n pure. Christlike char?
acter will reveal Itself with a light di?
vine. In support of thin assertion mini
lierloss cases could be cited.
These three, then, are the conditions
of attaining personal beauty.
A USEFUL INVENTION
That Will Be Hailed With Joy by tht
Cook.
In tho average kitchen there are never
to be found enough dry towels when
the process of dishwashing Is at band.
The towel thnt ought to lie ready for
FOU nnn.to TOWELS,
use Is usually bnnging on a rack, soak?
ing wet. To obvlniO till Ulis trouble an
Invention baa recently been made that
will l>e a Joy to the housewife. It Is
nothing more than a band that (Its
around the holler attached lo the
range. On this band arc prongs placed
nt regular Intervals on which the
towels are bung. Coming In contact
with tho bent from tho boiler dries the
towel lu a few minutes.
When the Nose Bleeds.
When the nose Is bleeding never hold
It over a basin or hold the bead down
in any way. This only causes further
rush Of blood to the broken tissues In
the nose. Tho head should be held up
and back, tho flow being caught lu
haudkerchiefs or cloths. One of the
most effective and simple means of
cheeking a nosebleed Is to press on the
upper lip. Near the tinder surface of
the lip runs the artery thnt supplies
the Interior nasal passages where the
ruptures occur. If this is pressed the
flow of blood Is mechanically checked,
thus allowing the blood around the
broken tissues to coagcnl and seal up
the opening. If merely prcssiug with
the finger docs not succeed, place a
wad of paper Under the Up and fold
the Hp over It, holding down tight,
says Womnn's l ife. Again. If this does
not succeed and a drug store is near,
get some adrenalin, saturate a piece of
cotton with It nnd apply to the interior
of the nunc from where the blood
flows.
The happiness of life consists In
something to do. something to love
and something to hope for.?l?r. ehal?
