Keeping the Complexion.

The best way to preserve beauty of
complexion, says French book, is to
! avoid as much as possible all occasions
which sooner or later trouble the mind
to accustom ones self early to resist de-
mOnstrative emotions, either of great
JOY OF sorrow. Generally speaking,
cold air is a mortal enemy of the com
plexion nevertheless there are excep-
support it easily while those of pale
tint find themselves better in warm air.
The manner of living in point Of view of
alimentatiOn has great influence on the
complexion, because there is an init
mate relation between the state of the
stomach and the tint Of the complexion
Persons Of high color spoil their COM
plexion by using irritating ailments
Others fall into the excess of eating too
little, hoping to preserve freshness of
complexion they only injure their
stomach, and give themselves a pale
blueish tint. Even tight clothes have an
important influence on the complexion.
From what have said, it will be easily
understood that in the observance of
hygienic rules will be found the best
means Of preserving the delicacy and
purity Of the complexion. It is we'll not
to give the stomach all it Graves. Per
sons subject to rush of blood to the
head should eat plain food, and avoid all
stimulating drinks, such as pure wines,
liquors, etc. For those of pale COM
plexion it is quite the contrary. Many
are in the habit Of taking something
strengthening in the morning, and sleep
afterward. This is wrong. A glass Of
cold water taken on rising, and fast an
hour after, is very good. AS to the
general rules of hygiene, they are appli-
cable here. To sleep too much is as bad
as not to sleep enough. A too active
life has as many disadvantages as a too
inactive one.

Pretty Feet.

The celebrated anatomist, Professor
Hyrtl, of the Vienna University, recently
opened one of his lectures to his class
with the singular question, (Which is
the most beautiful foot, considered from
the anatomical standpoint % and then
said cit is remarkable that there can
be so many divergent opinions on this
subject. While the sons of men look
upon small, slender and graceful foot
(if ladys FOOT as an ideal one, the an
atomist utterly rejects it as beautiful,
and only the large, long and broad foot
is the ideal one in his eyes. Even the
greatest classical writer's of antiquity
Horace, Catulus, and others-who had
great appreciation of feminine beauty,
never mentioned, in the description OF
their beloved, their small feet. The
people belonging to the Celtic race have
small feet, and the Hindoos especially
have such small feet and hands that they
may be envied by many European
countesses. The native troops OF the
English army in India possess IN Eng
land their own armory, where peculiar
kinds Of of weapons are constructed for
them. The sword hits made for them
are much too small for us to. grasp with
ease. The greatest beauties of Europe

songs and dances bore the two away-a

mention, my learned Jesuit friend, to

is too long and too learned to quote,
but he connects the ceremony with the
world-old myth of Venus and Adonis,
and claims that it is all a form of sun
worship,
The show went on for some time

A San Francisco Scene.

A Chinese fsh-peddler was recently
travelling his round on Brennan Street,
anticipating nothing more than the Gus
tomary pelting with stones from the
sportive urchins of that vicinity, when
some jocular person, just emerged from
a corner grocery, and brim-full of glee,
thought to vary the monotony of the
everyday diversions by setting vic
ious bulldog upon the Mongol. The
brute readily took its prey, and the first
intimation that the China1nan had of an
attack was the closing of a pair of say
age jaws upon one of his wrists. A rat
thing combat ensued, and for moment
it was doubtful which would gain the
mastery, until presently the blade Of an
eighteen-inch knife cleaned for an in
slant, and then was buried in the body
Of the dog, producing breach that per-
mitted the canine vitality to subside as
with q breath. At the very moment
of this sang11inary work, another huge
brute of the Newfoundland breed, came
dashing up, and made a spring at the
Chinaman's throat. The gladiator stood
ready for the attack, and caught the
second foe by the throat. In moment
the Newfoundland dog had received it's
death wound. The victorious China
man, reeking with blood and painting
with the exertion of mortal combat, then
shouldered his baskets and shambled
away, without soliciting any more pat
ronage in that neighborhood. To the
credit of the spectators be it said that,
after vanquishing the dogs, he was no
bly, granted the boon of life, and depart

A JavaneSe Poison.

The natives of Java are said to possess
a fatal poison, which acts in a purely
mechanical way, and yet, when admins
tered to any animal, is said to produce
certain death. 1t consists of the small,
black filaments obtained from the stalk
of the bamboo. These filaments, or
needle-shaped spines, are covered with
an imperceptible furze, which acts as a
propelling medium, SO that when the
needles are swallowed they catch in the
victims throat, from which they work
their way to the respiratory organs, and
there produce irritation, followed by a
violent inflammation, and eventually
death. The needles are so fine that
they may be mixed with any form of
solid food, and thus be administered to
the unconscious victim.

/ see in a paragraph going around tell
ing Of a girl who fell out of window
while listening to serenade. This re-
minds me of Peter Lambs adventure
down our way a year or two ago. He
was serenading one OF the Metcalf girls,
and she was leaning out of the window,
with shutters bowed so that he could not
see her. Lambs little tune contained
one high note, and he struck it suddenly
and with such terrible force that it made
her Jump She lost her foothold, fell
out. and described half somersault,
one foot hitting Mr.. Lamb squarely in
the face, aud the other smashing in the
TOP Of his guitar, Simply calculating
"Gosh" he leaped up from the gutter
and fed, under The impression that old
Metcalf had thrown a bedstead at him,
while Lueretia picked the catgut aud
brass wood from her toes, twisted up her
hack hair and went into the house.
Lamb stopped visiting her, and last year
he married the widow Jones who has
four children and a cow-hck. - Adz

1t seems the leaves Of the California
chapparal are gathered in great quanti-
ties upon that coast, and packed in bales
and shipped to China, whence after
being dried and prepared by some pro
cess unknown, it is returned to San
Francisco properly put up in packages,
branded and sold as a superior quality
of tea. No doubt this tea, which is said
to closely resemble the best black,
reaches this market; in fact, is sold in
all parts of the country. Latterly there
have been, in different quarters, several
mysterious cases Of sickness, after drink
ing the so called tea and in Chicago two
fatal cases. Other shrubs beside the
ohapparal (which is not poisonous but
very debilitating aud nauseating) are no
doubt employed in the nefarious trade,
and it is not likely the swindlers are
particular about avoiding those OF q
destructive character. Congress would
do we'll to enact general law Furnishing

articles as tea with severity, and provid-

ouro for Dr,.nkenness.

There is a curious prescription in
England for the cure Of drunkenness, by
which thousands are said to have been
assisted in recovering themselves. The
recipe came into noioriety through the
efforts of John Vine Hall, father Of Rev.
Newman Hall aud Captain Vine Hall,
commander of the Great Eastern steam
ship. He had fallen into such habitual
drunkenness that his utmost efforts to
regain himself proved unavaiing. AT
length he sought the advice of an emf
nent physician, who gave him a pre-
scription which he followed faithfully for
several months, aud at the end OF that
time he had lost all desire for liquors,
although he had for many years been led
captive by most debasing appetite.
The recipe, which he afterwards pub
lished, and by which so many have been
assisted to reform is as follows; Sui
phate of iron, 5 grains; magnesia,. 10
grains; peppermint water, ii grainsi
spirit of nutmeg, drachp, to be taken
twice a day." This preparation acts as
tonic and stimulant, and so partly sup
plies the place of the accustomed liquor,
and prevents that absolute physical and
moral prostration that follows sudden
breaking off from the use of stimulating
drinks,
