JVlilady's JMtrror HUNTING THE CARIBOU. TO BEAUTIFY CINCINNATI. A Planning Commission Haa Been Cre ated to Improve the City. A city planning commission nnd city department of llnaneo are created in provisions recently adopted by the charter vViiiuiIskIoii of Cincinnati. Tho ului of the planning commission Is to make Cincinnati n "dty beautiful." The department of finance Is placed under a dins-tor appointed by council, whose duties In general will be similar to those of the present city auditor mid treasurer combined. The report on the creation of a city planning commission, which was adopt ed, provides as follows: Tho commission to be of seven mem bers, four appointed by the mayor from the citizenship and three ex offi cio, the mayor, the director of high ways and tho president of the board of commissioners of parks and recreation, with power to vote. Tho term shall be six years. The body shall draw maps showing streets, alleys, bridges, etc., and ulso locations proposed by It for any new public building, civic centers, parks, playgrounds, etc. It shall hare power to control and preserve land marks and plan and design location of public buildings, harbors, viaducts, etc. Council ami u" boards und commis sions shall supply it with copies of ordinances as to location of public buildings, alteration of streets, boule vards, pnrks, etc., when Introduced. The same shall apply to any ordinance as to location of bridge, viaduct, tun nel, subway or elevated railway, etc. If the planning commission does not approve of the plans it shall report to council In writing with Its reasons for such uoiuipproval within ten duys from tho Introduction of ordinance, nnd such disapproval shall act as veto unless council or the board or commission shall pass the objectionable ordinance by not less than two-thirds vote of en tire membership of council or four fifths of the board or commission It may make recommendations to cor porn 1 1 ons or Individuals ns to location of buildings. et Curiosity Often Luree the Watchful Animal to Its Fate. In hunting the caribou ipIetnesK Is essential. Never break n twig If you can avoid It. for a cracking branch makes ii noise which carries far and may give warning of your approach to the very stag you particularly want. Dtpially important is If to keep n slurp lookout at all times, especially when entering a barren, where a -ilirj limy be sleeplliv;. for under sin h .-oiiditions they are h ud to see. mona the nu merous gl.lj dead -tlll.lps null in.is." covered low lues ilie i-o oi ol the carl boll Is -. me, , i, .;;, ih.:; t!ie un trained eye will l.ili to uete. t (he Ulll -lual even ill rinse rmi'.-e.

All these Ihiiis considered, the curl Imu of New foundland is not ns alert as any other itcer that I know- of mid is therefore more readily approached. There is. of course, great variation among them, some being extremely alert mid difficult to stalk, while oth ers are so ahsurdly tame that they will allow a inn ii to walk right up to within a few yards before taking flight. Curi osity Is often a noticeable failing with them. When once it is aroused they will go to almost any length to satisfy It. I do not. however, advise tho hun ter to count too much ou It. for the very thing which you Imagine will tempt this curiosity will as likely as not frighten iheiu away. Sometimes a strange noise will make them very inquisitive, and they will come within n few feet to find out what It Is. Then, occasionally, a white handkerchief will have the snme effect. A. Rud cilfie Dugmore in "The Romance of the Newfoundland Caribou." Misleading Bookkeeping. Even bookkeeping is not an exact sci ence. For behold! how often Is it that one man will put Into the expense ac count a given expenditure say, the rebuilding of u machine thus reducing bis profits by this amount, while an other will put such an item to the asset account, nnd each can advnnco weighty urgumeiits and reasons as to the logic of his methods. Rut the net results of operation will differ widely with tlie same actual occurrences, so that even bookkeeping may be said merely to present results dependent upwi the aspects of the situation us rendered by those who have the au thority or opportunity to Interpret Benjamin A. Franklin In Engineering Magazine. Points of the Crescent Moon, Why does the moon sometimes ap pears with points turned upward and nt other times downward? There is one cause only the rotation of the earth. If the moon rises with points turned upward then, when It sets, the points must turn downward that is. the western horizon meets the points In Its apparent approach; they point toward It. apparently dow nward.

When you wont to rest yon should never curl up on a sofa with cushions, but you should always lie qullo flat, If possible, with your hands above your bend. This expands your chest nnd hollows your back and makes your figure grow Into good lines. It is n splendid thing to lie like this for a few minutes every morning and do deep breathing exercises. Regln with your arms at your sides, holding them straight; bring thetn up till the tips of the fingers touch. When they are extended above the head yoa breathe In, and then bring tnem down again as you breathe out Each breath should take ns much time as you spend in counting four slowly. If you arc Inclined to be too stout you can reduce by the following exer cise: Lie quite flat on your back with your bands on your sides. Rend your legs up slowly Into what Is the kneeling i position when you are upright and let. them slowly go down again. j Then do breathing exercises, trying while you do thetn to draw In the part i of your figure below your waist as much us you can. Then do the leg ex-1 erciso ngiiln. and so on. i These two exercises together are splendid for your digestion and general health. Resides improving your fig ure they will improve your complex-. Ion und make you stronger and more vigorous thun yo'i have been for a long time. J Besuty Gloves. 1 Reauty gloves ure useful adjuncts to the toilet, especially In the spring, when delicate skins are likely to chap and roughen. One sort Is made of rubber und by simply keeping in the natural oils and moisture of the skiu.t which would otherwise evaporate und be rubbed off, whiten und soften the skin. Another sort Is to wear with a inedl cuted cream. This style Is made of kid, in elbow and wrist length, and can be worn while shopping and walk ing as weil as while resting und steep ing. Au old pair of kid gloves, worn ut night lifter an astringent bus been applied, will do wonders in keeping the hands small nnd also in breaking down the fatty tissues. Howiver, If the bones are large, 1 reducing the flesh will only succeed iu making the bones look more prominent and the hands look old and even larger. It would be better to pass the j time making them soft and white and In keeping the mills well manicured. Treating Hangnaile. When a hangnail appears do not pull It out. but use the sharp nail scissors clipping closely, but never so as to break the skiu and bring blood. This should be done before soaking. For the purpose of softening tne nails All h small bowl with warm water, add a cae of fine, fragrant soup mid a toaspoonful of pure glycer in. Stir until a good suds Is formed, remove the soap and place the lingers of one hand to soak. This may be done while the other hand is receiving the filing, if one has help. If alone do the tiling on both hands first. Soak the fingers of one for ten minutes, wipe and proceed to use the round pointed stick of orange wood, this wood being selected because it is hard and does not splinter readily. Ear Treatment For Red Nose. If you go out In the cold wind and get your nose red you can easily tone it down again without putting any powder on it. When you get home do not go near the fire for n few minutes, but sit down first nnd ruli your ears briskly with your hands. This will help to promote the circulation In your face which has been stopped by the cold and make the blood run away from your nose so that it Is left nice and white. The girl who often has a red nose should rub her ears every morning for it few minutes, she will find that the plan answers splendidly nnd does a great deal of good. Felt the Power.
