Staniey's Qualifications.

IFrUW CHe NeW HHVcH aauIuIu'J
The enterprise of the New YORK HERALD and the
London Daily telegraph in organizing an expedi-
ton for African exploration, under the command
OF Mr.. Stanley, is highly creditaDle to American
and English journalism. Mr. Stanley intends to
take up the work at the point where Livingstone's
death left it unfinished, to solve the remaining
problems of African geography, and especially to
report upon the slave trade 1t is task for which
Mr. Stanley has rare qualifications. II he lacks
literary style which is matter of very slight con-
sequence compared with the possession OF other
qualities he has indomitable perseverance, rare
courage and boundless enthusiasm. BY the enter
prise Of these two journals he will start better
equipped for his long and arduous journey than 1t
was ever poor Livingstone's fortune TO be, and 80
the world may expect valuable results.

In these days Of sharp and bitter competition

acatlon OF this tendency is the announcement that
the NEW YORK HERALD and the London telegraph
have united in organizing an expedition OF African
discovery, under command OF Mr.. henry M. Stanley.
The purpose of the enterprise is to complete the
work left unfinished by the lamented death Of DR..
Livingstone; to solve, If possible, the remaining
problems OF the geography OF Central Africa, and
to investigate and report upon the haunts OF the

Keeping the Complexion.

The best way to preserve beauty of
complexion, says a French book, is to
avoid Us 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 or sorrow. Generally speaking,
cold air is mortal enemy of the com
plexiOn nevertheless there are excep-
tions with persons of high color, who
support il 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 iniure 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
hycienic rules will be- found the best
means of preserving the delicacy and
purity of the complexion. 1t is well 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 a 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. \ 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 rs bad
MS not - sleep enough. A too active
life has rs many disadvantages as a too
inactive one.
