THE CHINESE COMPLEXION. * The exquisite complexion of the -young Chinese women is due not to en- amelling, as has been suspected, but to careful manipulation of the face done by expert masseuses. They begin by a gentle pinching of the cheeks between the tips of their fing- ers, which lasts fully ten minutes; then apply lotions on absorbent cotton, then an unguent. and finish by kneading the eheeke with an extreme delicacy of toueli ,always proceeding from the nose and commissures of the lips toward the ears. Thie is a. harmless and physiologi- cally correct process which can be re- commended' ire cases, rarer than they should be, where the physicien is con- sulted concerning a faded or other- wise 'unattractive complexion.—From La Presse Medicale. 111.40411—,.. ••••••••—...

The etiquette of Oie membere of the Turkish chamber almost vies with the politences of the young Chinese to his prespective father-in-law, so anrueingly told by Goldemitle At the eommenee- ment of the new era, either by accident or design, a custom arose that when any member of the house - entered all those who were preseni rose from their seats and made their 6alaam to the newcomer. Even if a mtmber ware addressing the house, a breach in the sPeech clon- isidered preferable to a breach of cour- tesy, consequently the orator paused, and, the eivilitiee complied with, proceed- ings resumed. To put matters bluntly, these amentice proved themselves a nuietance, so Mukhtar Paeha took tho matter in hand, with the resuit that the houee agreed that these courteeiee should only be observed before the house was in session.

BONDS WILL THE JEWISH FARMERS., The third annual convention of the jewielt Farmers of America, now going on at the Educational Alliattee building Manhattan, was ntorelly certain to evoke a letter from Mayor Gaynor.

Report received at the Grand Trunk headquarters regarding track laying on the new line in Western Canada up to December 2nd, shows the progress made. On the main line the end of track has now reached 1,057.5 miles west of 'Win- nipeg. On the Alberta coal braneh, which is being built from Bickerdike into the Brazeau roal fields, the trick - has reached mile 21.4 aouth of Bicker- dike. On the Tofield-Calgary branch the steel has been laid 105.3 miles south of 'Wield. On the Young -Prince Albert branch the end of the track is at mile 07.3 north of Young. The entire por- tion of the branch atween Melville and Fegina has been completed, a mileage of 98.4. The 59 milee on the Melville - Canon), branch has also been complet- ed. On the Moose Jaw branch, between Regina and Moose Jaw, track has been laid 1.1 miles west of Regina. On the mountain division steel has been laid to the mouth of Tunnel at mile 104 east of Prince Rupert. - ONE WAY TO SAVE COAL The Pennsylvania Society for the Pre- vention of Tuberculosis sends out the fellewing bulletin: "Don't complain if your coal bills are high this winter. It will be your own fault. To fill one's home with a hot. diy air. as most people do, is both ex- pensive and unhealthful. Tuberculosis, pneUrnonla and colds lie in wait for per- sons living in this kind of atmosphere. On the other hand, properly moistened air does not have to be heated to as great a temperature as dry air In order to he made comfortable. When you feel cold, therefore, instead of seeing whether the furnace needs fuel, find out if the air does not want water. On a cold day the windows of your room should have the perspired look of a kitchen window on washday. In very cold weather the panes ought to be frosted. If you find this is not the case, the air probably needs a drink, Place a pan of water in the room, or it you have steam heat. aliosv a little of the steam to escape. You will aeon feel comfortable, although the temperature of the room will not have risen. With properly moistened air a room, need to be heated to more than 64 degrees."
