Woman's Weapon.
Woman'e weapon is her eye, and the
• lateen importation is a code for the mani-
pulation of that organ. Charts have been
prepared, showing that the eye has 729 dis-
tinctive expressions, conveying as many
different shades ot meaning.
The proper thing to do is to procure one
of these obarts and reproduce with our
own eyes the 729 expressions before a
mirror. When you have _mastered them
all, try them -on otherpeople and see how
they work. It ie popularly imagined that
the eyeball itself is an expreosive thing, but,
att a matter of fact, the ball of the eye has
scarce any expression at all. That all
depends upon the lids and brow% The
' upper lid aoes the intellectual ; ite position
is regulated by the sort of thinking you
are doing. The lower lid expresses, by its
drawing upor otherwise, the senses. The

The Hug -Me -Tight.
The hug-motight is the name of a new
lounge pillow whioh everybody is after just
now. It is a soft bolster pillow designed
for beauty and comfort ae well. It can be
covered with almost any material. An em-
broidered lining is preferred by many,
being clean, cool end durable. They can
be stuffed with down, feathers or wool. A
wide, easy lounge is now deemed a neves
city in almost all rooms devoted to family
comfort, but large, soft, easy pillows, so
made and dressed as to look neat and tidy
and yet admit of careless treatment, are
not so common. Pillows for every -day
service cannot be used long without becom-
ing badly soiled unless proteoted by tidies
or covers of some sort, whioh are &constant
source of annoyance, they are so liable to
be displaced and rumpled up, if not wholly
thrown aside. „ The embroidered linen
" ling -me -tight" cannot be easily displaced
(as its name indicates), and, being an end-
less cover, the pillow is protected on all
eider; and can be washed.

Adding to these measurements one

proportion of their head to the height

ernment has offered .200 piasters for its

Leet year the manoater swallowed 52

It is absolutely without fear and does,

him. The natives of the locality are para-

'understand that as Boon as they cease
to perspire while working or march
ing in the hot sun they are in
danger of sunstroke, and they should
immediately drink water freely and
copiously, to afford matter for cutaneous
transpiration; keep the ekin and clothing
wet with water. Impending sunstroke
may often be warded off by these simple
measures. Besides the caseation of perspir-
Mien, the pupils are apt to be contracted
and there is a frequency of mioturition. If
there is marked exhaustion, with a ,weak
pulse, resulting from the cold water appli-
cation, we should administer stimulants.
The free use of water, however, both ex-
ternally and internally, by those,exposed to
the direct rays of the ems is the best prophy-
lactic against sunstroke, and laborers and
soldiers and others who adopt this measure,
washing their hands and faces as well as
drinking copiously of water every time
they come within reach of it, will generally
enjoy perfect immunity from sunstroke.
Straw hate should be worn, ventilated at
the top, and the crown of the hat filled
with green leaves or wet sponge. It is
batter to wear thin flannel shirts in order
not to check perapiration. We may expose
ourselves for a long time in the hot sun and
work or sleep in a heated room and enjoy
perfect immunity from sunstroke if we
keep our skin and clothing Wet with water.

The Turf,
The:Ontario Jockey Club has signed an
absolute lease for ten years at a fixed an.
anal rental of the whole Woodbine Park
property, buildings, stands, eto. It has
not been found practicable hitherto in
America for trotting and galloping associa-
tions to use the same grounds, and the plan
has nowhere eueoeeded. A track soaroely
hard enough for the trotters is too hard
for the gallopers, and it is likely the Wood-
bine Driving Club will find other quarters
during the coming winter. For the rest of
this summer they will not be disturbed.
It is the intention of the Jockey Club to
fill up the space between Queen street and
the Hendrie stables solid, and it is on the
oarda that they will construct a cricket
ground, quoit ground and cinder path on
the inside field. As the club's rams must
be run at the end of May, when generally
the field is too soft, 11 18 likely that hurdle
races will be substituted for steeplchases
a,nei the orose-country course abandoned.
Great improvements are contemplated, and
the gentlemen in charge are not likely to
be idle. Mr. Duggan has offered the trot-
ting people to conetruct a half -mile track>
for them on the north side of Queen street,
turning his old residence on the hill, now
occupied by C. Gates, into a club. house.
Hints on Homeshoeing.
Never fit the foot to the shoe, but At the
shoe to the foot.
Never put a hot shoe to the hoof ; many
good hoofs have been ruined by burning.
Never pare the frog.
Never twist off the nails ; use nippers
for cutting them off.
Never drive large nails.
• Never drive the -nails too high in the wall
of the hoof.
Never trim the hoof incre than is necee-
