its finger in the Spanish pie, having sent
fleet to Spanish waters, with the object, it is
said, to stop supplies of weapons anu money
to the Carlists. The movement, it is further

is secretly sending the Carlists such supplies.
In this same connection the Vienna journals
say, that Austria has received n circular note
from Germany, urging the great powers to
combine to prevent the continuance Of Car.

Keeping the Complexion.

The best way 70 preserve beauty Or e01A-
plexion, SAYS French book, is to avoid as
much rs possible all occasions which soeaer
or later trouble the mind to accu.tosn
ores self eariy to resist denonstra.ive
emotions, either Of great joy or sorrow
Generally speaking, COLI air is q mortal
enemy of the complexion nevertheless
there are xceptions with persons Of high
color, who supported it easily while those
ofs pale tint find themselves better in
wurm air. The m amer OF living IN point
of view Of nlImentation has great iutiu
ence on the complexion, becaune thers Is
an intimate relation between the state o!
the stomach and the tin, Of the complexion.
Persons of high color spoil their complexion
ny using irritating ailments. Others AL
into the excess Of eat .ng insufficient, hoping |
TO preserve freshness of complexion they |
only injure theT stomach, and give them |
selves pale, blsish tint. Even tight /
clothes base an imp ,rtant Influence on the |
complexion From what ] have said, il
viii be easily understood that the ohserv
,nce os hygienic rules will be found the |
best means of preserving the delloacy and /
purity of the compilation. 1t Is well not to |
give the stomach all it Graves. Persons
subj, ct to rush Of blood to tie head
should tat plain food, aud avoid all ftimu-
sting drinks, such as pue wines, liquors, |
etc. For those of pale complexion It IS
quite the contrary. Many are IN the habit
OF taking something streng thening III the
the morning, an sleep afterward. This is |
wrong. A glass Of cold wat'r sakea 90
rising, and fast an hour after, is very good.
As to the general rules of hygiene, they
are applicable here. To sie.p too much is
as bad as not to sleep enough. 4 tao active
life has as many Disadvantages as u too in
active one.
