RECEIVING EXERCISE.
Tcrktxh Bath, Floor Kent and Other Math*
«>ds !>«■<-rlbct In Oetall.
We American women have at last be
come fully aroused as to the importance
of exercise, says a writer, and with
characteristic energy- we all—men,
women and children—have gone at it.
and are exercising indoors and out of
doors as hard and fast as ever we can.
This would lie a fine thing if our lives
were not quite so full and hurried and
if we were as a people a trifle more
stolid.
L'nfortunately we have yet to learn
the meaning of the word rest—until we
do. exercise may prove to the majority
of us, a dubious blessing.
Now, why not be exercised? The
1 url<ish hath is one step in that direc
tion, and the "floor rest"' is another.
Any woman who is fortunate enough
to command the services of a lady's
maid, or who ean will in an attendant
at stated times, or ean secure the co
operation of her own family, can re
ceive exercise instead of exercising.
When a long and hard day or social or
serious duties is before or behind liei
this royal way of resting the muscles
and stimulating the inspiration is good
and most efficacious.
Have a warm blanket or drugget,
kept especially for this purpose, spread
smoothly on the floor. Then get into
loose garments and place yourself at
full length on this hard bed for half an
hour's manipulation.
When you lie as limp and indifferent
as a rag baby, your attendant, whom
you have previously instructed, gently
rolls and kneads your body, lifts and
drops and twists and swings your arms
and legs.
The head—the body's fifth limb—re
ceives much the same treatment that is
given the legs and arms, but should be
handled with special gentleness.
Your own duties consist in, first, as
suring yourself that your breathing is
full, free, and controlled by the dia
phragm,and then in surrendering your
self to a nirvana-like indifference tc
all tilings.
1 happen to know a very pretty wom
an who for some years past has in
dulged herself three or four times
weekly, at bedtime, in this sort of de
licious "first rest.'' 1 recall her when
she was a trifle awkward and con
strained in her bearing, but now she is
as joyously free and buoyant in all her
movements as a forest dryad.—X. Y.
Press.
A BAD PLAN TO SCOLD.
It Makes Women (irow Older Than Tlielr
Years.
Not long ago a man was seen to take
h big dose of quinine as unconcernedly
as he would have swallowed so much
sugar.
"Mercy!'' exclaimed his friend, "how
could you do that?''
"Very easily: 1 have been accustomed
to it. It happened that I began taking
it about, the time 1 had discovered that
1 had married a scold. One dose was
as bitter as the other; now I ean
swallow either without giving it a
thought."
Xot a very gallant speech, but won
derfully suggestive.
The most deluded mortal in the
world is the woman who fancies that
much is gained by scolding, or whining,
<>r complaining. She may seem to gain
her ends fora while (for at first one
will do most anything to avoid swallow
ing a bitter close.) but if she would
stop to consider, site would soon dis
cover that every day she has better
cause for scolding or winning or com
plaining, whichever method she adopts,
and that, as the month rolls by, an
ever-increasing amount is required to
accomplish the sarrie result.
The scolding woman never has things
her own way without a vast expendi
ture of nervous strength—much more
than the object to be gained is worth.
Why can not she realize that and adopt
some pleasanter method?—Philadelphia
Times.
The Itest Shampoo.
A dermatologist of high standing says
that the proper way to shampoo the
head is to use Some pure soap made into
a "good lather on the head,'' with
plenty of warm water, and rubbed into
the scalp with the fingers or with
rather a stiff brush that lias long bris
tles. When the scalp is very sensitive,
borax sml water, or the yolks of three
eggs, beaten in a pint of lime water,
are recommended instead of soap and
water. After rubbing the head thor
oughly in every direction, and washing
out the hair with plenty of warm water,
or with douches of warm water, alter
nating with cold, drying the hair with
a bath towel, a small quantity of vas
eline or sweet almond oil should be
rubbed into the scalp. The oil thus ap
plied is used in the place of the oil that
has been removed by washing, and to
prevent the hair from becoming brittle.

Mrnning of Colors.
White is the color of light, purity, in
nocence, faith, joy and life. Black
means mourning, wickedness and death,
lied signifies tire, divine love and wis
dom. Blue stands for heaven, truth
from a celestial origin, constancy and
fidelity. Yellow or gold is the symbol
af the sun. of marriage and faithful
ness; in a bad sense yellow signifies in
constancy, jealousy and deceit. Green,
the emerald, is the color of spring,
hop*-, particularly of the hope of im
mortality and of victory, tvs. the color
f the laurel and palm. Violet signifies
love and truth, or psssion and suffer
ng. Purple and scarlet signify thing 1 ,
good and true from a celestial origin.—

FASHION'S FADS.
Farewell to the pink tea, for it is
said that "millinery effects" have had
their day.
Hostesses who have been puzzled to
find some new form of entertainment
might try the plan of a London woman
who engaged a silhouette expert. All
the men and maidens hung around in
an unusual fever of impatience to be
cut otit.
At one of the grand balls in Paris
the presents distributed at the cotillon
were rustic hats in coarse straw
trimmed with ribbon and Cowers, and
filled with fresh Cowers. Each bore
the name of a famous milliner inside,
and doubtless a corner lot deed in
some places would have been a less
costly gift.
A forget-me-not luncheon is now
given by the bridesmaids of an en
gaged young woman in honor of her
approaching marriage. The decora
tions arc all of blue, the guests wear
posies of the forget-me-not dear to
lovers, and the flowers at the feast, all
in blue, are arranged in hearts and
true lover's knots.

Don't Blame the Cook
If a baking powder is not uniform in strength,
so that the same quantity will always do the same
work, no one can know how to use it, and uni
formly good, light food cannot be produced with it.
All baking powders except Royal, because
improperly compounded and made from inferior
materials, lose their strength quickly when the can
is opened for use. At subsequent bakings there
will be noticed a falling off in strength. The food
is heavy, and the flour, eggs and butter wasted.
It is always the case that the consumer suffers
in pocket, if not in health, by accepting any sub
stitute for the Royal Baking Powder. The Royal
is the embodiment cf all the excellence that it is
possible to attain in an absolutely pure powder.
It is always strictly reliable. It is not only more
economical because of its greater strength, but
will retain its full leavening power, which no
other powder will, until used, and make more
wholesome food.
