A BEAUTIFUL WoMAN.-The perceptive fac
ulty of women is usually keener than the same
chronological organ in men. Women know
that beauty rather than genius is worshipped
by the sterner sex. A man may talk of the lat
ter to his lady-love, but the keenness of the
woman knows that he is thinking of the form
er. Women are fond of admiration; hence one
of their longings is to be beautiful The grand
secret of female beauty is health the power to
eat, digest and assimilate proper quantity of
wholesome food Take VINEGAR Buffers Tt

Every brush is warranted not to annoy the
user by loose bristles in the mouth, and by the

Handwriting.

To write an ugly hand
may be called misfortune, YOU will;
but to write an iilegibie hand is q
crime against society. Every one who
chooses can form each letter distinctly,
can make a difference between an a
and U, between and c, can dot rs
and cross t's. Therefore. no educated
person who wishes for employment as
an amanCensis or cOpyist can be ex-
eused for writing badly. He ought to
be able to write letters and CODY man
uscripts clearly and legibly; II he can-
not, he has only himself to blame.
To those who feel their deficiency and
wish to improve, here are few hints.
Write two or three copies every day in
q large hand. Look at your COPY up
side down, when the turns OF the let
ters should appear as well shaped as
they did when you looked st them
ia the right way. Thus, let the letters
nu, when turned upside down, make
e good clear mi, only wanting the adj
ton Of the dot to the i. Never leave
an to be dotted or a to be crossed
till you have finished the line or SEN
tence. Dot your Ts and cross your ts
when you finish the word, at latest.
Remember that the lines Of legibility
in writing, as Of beauty In nature, are
pretty, seldom legible. Never indulge
In making Over-lOng tails to g's, q's,
US or oveI-long heads to rs, t's, and
similar letters, running them into the
upper line. Indulge not in turns,
cuTls, or fiourishes Of any kind.
Study to make your writing compact
without being cramped; free, without
struggling. To write rather upright
than otherwise contributes to the
union Of compaetness and freedom,
Never initiate another PERSONS writ

than your own. Many 3 person has

eschew hurry. Legibility must never

Ten Hard Dollars.

Those people who are interested in
hard money will perhaps be prOfited
by reading the following story from
the Christian Weekly, by DR.. 'Spauld-
ing:
my father was a poor man. A
large and growing family was de-
pendent on him for its daily bread.
Coming home one wintry evening
from a weeks toll in neighboring
town with ten hard-earned dollars in
his pocket, he lost them in q light
snow. Long and fruitless was the
search for them. After the snow was
gone, again and again was the search
renewed, with the same result. The
snow fell and melted again for a
whole generation, and still the story
of the lost dollars was fresh in our
family circle; for silver dollar to a
poor man in those days was larger
than q fun moon.
about mile away lived another
father of family in similar circum-
stances. He, too, knew how much
a dollar cost dug out of the heart of a
rocky farm. At least once or oftener
every week for forty years he had oc-
casiOn to pass our door, giving and
receiving the common neighborly
salutatiOns, and every time with a
weight increasingly heavy on his
conscience. But ali such pressure has
its limit; and when that is reached
the crash is the greater for the sever
ity of the strain. In this instance if
was as when an old oak rends its
body and breaks its limbs in falling.
zone day, completely broken down,
he came to my father in tears, con-

HoW They Live in Sweden.

A writer visiting the residences of
the people in Sweden speaks warmly
of the comfortable manner in which
they live:
1.-THE houses are warm, being built
OF strong thick walls, generally of
brick, with high stone foundations.
They are small, commonly of one
story, and meant for but one family.
Their houses are not 50 very simple;
but they are simply furnished, there
often being, especially in the north
eFn part, where the houses are fire.
quently of logs, and covered with
turf or straw, no more than one room
in the house, and that with only the
coarsest homemade furniture. The
sleeping room there is rarely more
than one) is provided with ranges of
beds in tiers, one above the other,
the women generally sleeping below
and the men above. You rarely see
any carpet, but the floors are sprinkled
with a clean, white sand, which dries
up moisture, gives off no dust, and
may easily be removed, Sometimes
the floors, as in Germany, are paint
ed, or of wood mosaic; though this
luxury, except in large mansions, is
very rarely indulged in. Occasionally
the best rooms viii have q little car
i
which cross each other in the centre.
The land is generally good, and four
fifths of all the people subsist by
agriculture. Great quantities of
wheat, rye, and barley are raised, the
stubble fields being now stretched
out in every direction. Much of this
grain is exported to Germany and
Great Britain. Large droves Of cattle,
sheep, geese and ducks may also be
seen in the fields, though the stock is
far inferior to that of Denmark, where
it was real pleasure to see the mag
nificent drOves in their pastures. The
cattle and poultry are commonly
kept in the same field, the ducks and
geese being in and around the ponds,
while the sheep and cows are scatter
ell through the meadows, a shepherd
boy commonly sleeping in some fence
corner. In the evening these docks
are all driven to the barnyard, where
they present lively scene for q few
hours after sunset. I spent q little
time at the country residence Of a
large land owner in this neighbor-
hood, were the noise of the ducks and
geese in his barnyard was like per-
petual horse-hddle serenade.n
