IsraeliEes would probably not be con-
tent to lose the smallest tip of their re-
dundant bealZs. The Tartars, having
no noses to speak OF. affect to consider
the deficiency a beauty. The wife OF
Jenghis Khan was esteemed the most
charming woman in all Tartary, be-
cause she only had two holes where her
nose should have been.
The tip of the nose often reddens,
even in the youngest girl, without any
apparent cause. Exercise and a pro-
per diet, and all other means of invig-
Grating the body and equaIiZing the
circulation, are the b st remedies. The
nose becomes often inordinately en-
Iatged from the habit of touching 1t
with the hand, either from mere ca
price or for the sake of squeezing out "a
most dangerous practice) little pim-
pies. The nose should never be han
died by ones self. his friends, or enc
mics. The best means of getting rid of
the pimples is by washing every morn
ing with this lotion:
sub-carbonate OF grains.

People of delicate and irritable
complexion should not use cotton or
silk handkerchief, but a linen one.
The hairs which grow from the nos
trils, and are sometimes so abundant as
to be ugly and inconyentent, should
be never pulled out, for dangerous con.
sequences may ensue. but always cut
with pair of scissors when they pro-
trude.
THE EYEBROWS.
A good supply of hairs, and deli
cately curved outline, with the inner
extremity thicker than the outer, are
essential to fine eyebrow. The union
of the two eyebrows was esteemed by
the Romans beauty. They admired
the air of severe dignity it gives to the
face. The emasculated taste of modern
times dislikes 1t for the same reason.
The color of the eyebrows should be
chestnut or black. The eyebrows are
or greasy, and require similar treat
ment. II is ordinarily quite enough to
brush them daily with a tooth brush
dipped in a little diluted Cologne water.
II the eyebrows are naturally too thin,
nothing can be done by art to repair
the defect; If, however, the hairs nave
dropped from any accidental cause
whatsoever, good result may be rea-
sonably expected from shaving, rub
bling them several times day with an
Infusion of mint in wine, or moisten-
ing them with the following lotion: d
sulphate OF qulnine grains.
EYES AND EMPHASIZES.
The most common colors Of the eyes
are the blush gray and yellowtsh ha-
eel. The most beautiful are the pure
blue and black. The beauty of the eye
depends chiefly upon its expression,
but owes much OF It's charms 10 the
eyelids and eyelashes. The former
should be OF a regular rose hue, not too
thick, and never SO prominent than TO

always shade the pupil by partially
covering it. The eyelashes must be
long, regular, and abundant.
There Is no safe means of making the
eyelashes longer and more sIlken than
nature has made them. When they
ton, the only remedy is TO get rid OF
them by cutting.
Apart from the serious diseases to
which the eye is exposed, and of which
it is not our purpose to treat, It Is liable
to various disorders which are more
fatal to beauty than to health. Young
lymphatic girls are often affected with
red and swollen lids and weeping eyes.
Such should avoid prolonged study,
reading and combining labor OF all
kinds. In the morning, on first
awakening, the eyelids feel heavy, and
are occasionally slightly adherent to
each other. tits bad practice to rub
che lids become Redeemed and irritated,
and the lashes are apt to fall. Cold
water is the best application, and is al
ways to be preferred not only to the
warm but the Iukewarm. Excessive
sedentry work by artificial light, all
kinds of fatigue, prolonged wakefal;
ness, and abuse OF pleasure, reveal
themselves at once in a dark rim about
the eyes. This Is what the French call
les yeur ceITeS, and is with them es.
teemed, if persistent, n sure mark OF
the rake, male or female.
The best of all eye washes is cold
water, but when the eyes are excess
sively fatigued, and trimmed with an
unusual depth of blackness, the fol-
lowing lotion may be used with adj
vantage:
Infusion OF roses....... ounces.
Lemon juice. dtoLs.
THE EAR.
The ear to be beautiful should be
small, round, regularly convoluted, of
clear rose tint and closely attached to
the side of the head. Its shape Is often
deformed in infancy by the careless
ness of the mother or nurse. In adj
iasting the hat, cap, or bonnet the ears
are not seldom disregarded. They thus
crumpled up under the tight rim of the
covering of the head, or left awkward
ly beyond. The careful nurse should
take the precaution to smooth down
the ears of the child below its cap. and
see that they are held in their proper
position at the side of the head, where
they ought to nestle snugly. People
who have ugly ears have no alterna-
tive but to conceal them with their
hair, and take care not to bring them
into undue notice by snowy or jingling
trinkets. The skin of the ears should
be kept sleek and smooth by washing
them every morning with water In
which few drops Of cologne, or better
still, of lemon juice, have been put.
The hairs which are apt to grow at the
entrance of the ear should never be
plucked out, for this will make them
come thicker, but always cut. The
habit ofboxing and pulling children,s
ears is cruel one. The former, II
violent, may, by the sudden forcing OF
the air upon the drum, burst 1t and de-
stroy the hearing. The latter is no less
fatal to the beauty OF the ear.
MOUTH AND LIPS.
It does not matter, SO far as appear
ance is concerned, what shape the male
mouth may have, as with the present
style of wearing full mustache ana
beard little of It can be seen. In the
smooth face of a woman, however, the
form of the mouth has a great deal 10
do with its beauty or ugliness. Accor,
ding to our Caucasian notion 1t shouid
be small. regular, dry, sweet, ana IN
laughing or speaking not snow more
than half of the length OF the four or
five upper teeth. The standard IN TASTE
in regard to the lips varies in dtnerent
nations. The lips should be neither
very thin nor full, and form when the
mouth is closed an obtuse angle al
each corner and in the center tn men
