The Toilet.

CHILBLAIN LOTION.-Dissolve ounce
of muriate of, ammonia in a pint OF
cider vinegar, and apply frequently. A
half pint of alcohol may be added to
this lotion with good effect.
To DESTROY VERM1N IN CH1nDRrN's
HEADs.-Take l ounce each of vinegar
and red precipitate q ounce each of
vinegar and sulphur and 2 ounces of
sweet oil. Make into a liniment and
rub the head with it.
Should the feet be frostbitten and
itch thereafter, take one ounce of n.y.
drochloric acid mixed in seven ounces
of water, and wash the feet with the
solution two or three times daily, or wet
the socks with the preparation until re-
lieved.
Oil of cinnamon will cause the disap-
pearance of warts, however hard, large
or dense they may be. The application
gives rise to neither pain nor suppura-
ton. I removed 30 off my hand with
five cents worth of the oil.
A CLEAR COMPLEXION.-Ladi who
are anxious to have clear complexion
may attain the desired result by taking
teaspoonful OF powdered charcoal,
we'll mixed in water or honey, for three
nights, after which use simple purga-
tive to remove it and the impurities it
absorbs from the system.
The feet should be washed as regu-
larry as the hands, every night and
morning. It preserves their strength
and elasticity, and helps to keep them
in shape. A piece of sand stone would
be very useful, and the feet should be
Amounted with sweet oil afterward.
There should be a frequent change Of
stockings. Each person should have
two pairs of boots or shoes, and these
should be changed often, which con-
duces to health and economy.
To DESTROY BODY LICE.-Mercurial
ointment we'll rubbed on the infected
part and we'll washed off with warm wa
ter and soap. In the army common
practice was to wear string saturated
with the ointment around the waist, and
this usually afforded protection, though
it sometimes produced salvation. An
other remedy il corrosive sublimate, l
drachm, sal ammoniac, drachms; wa
ter, 8 ounces; to be used as the first.

A New Picture Of the Camel.

An American in Turkistan, in de-
scribing what he saw, in Scribner'S,
gives us this entirely new picture of
the camel, the ship of the desert ::
Ungainly, unamiable, and disgusting
in odor, they are set down as a sort
of cross between a COW and cas-
sowary. Seen in the distance they make
one think of big overgrown ostrich,
necks, which they turn about so as al
ways to observe everything which comes
by, and stare at you with their big va
cant eyes until you have passed fully
out of sight. They seem to stand cold
very we'll, although they will take cold
and die if allowed to lie down in the
snow. Hence, during the winter on
the steppe, their bodies are wrapped up
in felt, which, when taken off in spring,
carries most of the hair with it, and
they then look entirely naked. If they
get an idea into their heads that the
road is long or the weight too heavy,
or that some part of the harness is
wrong, they commence to howl. 1t is
not exactly groan nor cry. but very
human. shrill and disagreeable sound !;
and this they never cease--they keep it
up from the time they start until they
reach their destination, varying their
performances by occasionally kneeling
down and refusing to advance; or if
they do go on, holding back in such a
manner AS to make progress all the
slower. In this case there is nothing to
do but to unfasten the animal, turn him
loose, and tie his legs together, when
he will begin to browse about, poking
the snow away with his nose, and his
driver will find him when he comes
back. Camels are much too stupid
to go home, as any other animal
would, but they will continue to
walk on in the same direction their
faces are turned, without ever thinking
of master or stable or anything else.
They are very revengeful, and in the
spring season the male camels are very
often dangerous. Many instances are
known where they have bitten eprsons
to death, and they then have to be care
fully muzzled. There was one CON-
fort to be got out of them notwithstand-
ing--their walk was so quiet and saun-
tering, that in the morning, when it
was not too cold, we could read with
eSse in the carriage. as there was not
motion enough to jolt the book.

An Irish Arcadia.
THE MODEL TEMPERANCE MANUFACTURING
VILLAGE OF BEssBROOK.


John G.. Richardson, the great Manu-.
facturer of linens, seems to have sue
cessfully solved the problem of giving
employment to community of 1900
persons, whilst at the same time greatly
benefitting them by surrounding them
with every incentive to temperance and
moral restraint.
Mr.. Richardson is the owner of 5000
acres of land at Bessbrook, Ireland, on
which are quarries of blue granite and
farms that are successfully worked, and
in the midst of which is the village of
Bessbrook, with the great mill, Offices
and warehouses of the Bessbrook Spin
ming Company.
The village is laid out with streets
that are lined with little cottages for
workmen, with larger houses for the
mill officials, and there is also beauti-
full villa. occupied by the owner of the
vast estate.
Every cottage has door-yard decor
ated with beautiful flowers; and the
property includes public square to
add to its attractiveness. There are
shops of different kinds for the sale Of
articles required to meet the wants of
the village, but the sale of beer and
ardent spirits is forbidden; and there is
not police station in the village neither
is a pawnshop to be found.
The different denominations of which
there are five-including the Catholics
all live together in harmony, and four
churches stand in close proximity upon
a hill that looks out upon a beautiful
landscape with its green fields and I'M
dulating surface as far as the distant
Newery mountains.
The streets of the village are kept
scrupuously clean, and the whole aspect
OF the place is one of extreme neatness.
Mr.. Richardson is prominent mem
Der of the Society of Friends. and is
now on visit to America, and expects
to attend yearly meeting of this soci-
ETY. in Indiana. He has given so large
ly of his means and time to further the
great cause of temperance in Ireland,
having recently served as the presiding
officer at the meeting held there, that
he will be welcomed in America by
many who believe that next to slavery,
temperance is the greatest curse our
fallen humanity has to contend with.

No doubt many woman has gone in
to her room and had "good cry" be-
cause her husband called her by her
baptismal name, and not by that alb
surd nickname invented in the days of
their folly; or, because pressed for time
he hurried out of the house without 60
ing through the established formula Of
leave-taking. The lover has merged in
to husband; security has taken the
place of woOing; and the woman does
not take kindly to the transformation.
Sometimes she plays dangerous game,
and tries what flirting with another man
will do. If her scheme does not an
swer, and her husband is not made jeal-
Gus, she is revolted and holds herself
that hardly used being. neglected
wife. Then she will perhaps sulk. and
no longer greet her husband with
cheering smile after the labors of the
day. He notes the change of conduct,
and feeling he is not to blame hesitates
to take the initiative of smoothing mat
ters. Nothing is in reality more annoy
ing than the display of affection which
some husbands and wives show each
other in society. That familiarity of
touch, those half-concealed caresses,
those absurd names, that prodigality OF
endearing epithets, that devoted atten-
ton which they faunt in the face of the
public as kind of challenge to the
world at large to come and admire their
happiness, is always noticed and laugh
ed at, and sometimes more than laughed
at. Yet to some women this parade of
love is the very essence of married hap
piness. They believe themselves ad-
mired and envied, when they are ridi-
culed and scoffed at; and they think
their husbands are models for other men
to copy, when they are taken as exam
Piles to avoid. Men who have any real
manliness, however, do not give in to
this kind of thing; though there are
some as effeminate and gushing as wo-
men themselves, who like this sleepy
effusiveness of love. and carry it on in
to quite old age, fondling the ancient
grandmother with gray hairs as lavish
ly as they had fondled the youthful
bride, and seeing no want of harmony
in calling an old dame of sixty and up
wards by the pet names by which they
had called her when she was a slip of q
girl of eighteen. The continuance of
love from youth to old age is very cheer
ing; but even John Anderson, my J."
would lose its pathos if Mrs. Anderson
had ignored the difference between the
raven locks and the snowy brow of her
venerable John.-NeU York Sunday

MEIGGs' FoRTUNE.-Mr. Henry Meiggs,
the enormously wealthy railroad contrao-
tor of South America, is native of New
York State, and about sixty-five years
old. He first sought his fortune in Cal
ifornia and opened up the great lumber
interests of that Western coast. He en-
gagged in many schemes of public bene-
fit. But being obliged to borrow money,
the usurious rates Of interest then pre-
vailing in California took him beyond
his depth, and he went to South Ameri-
ca leaving behind him heavy liabilities.
There he made large sums as a railroad
contractor and then settled the Califor-
MIA claims. He owns two residences
one in the City of Lima and the other in
the suburbs-where he dispenses hospi-
tality to every American or foreigner,
and especially to Californians, on every
possible occasion. No American was
ever hard pressed for money without Mr..
Meiggs coming to his rescue and supply
ing him with means to 60 to any part OF
the world he might desire. His "Quin-
ta," or private dwelling house, is stu
ated in the midst of sixty acres of plea
sure grounds, filed with the rarest fruits
and fiowers.-E.r.

Why they Lost their Fortunes.

If we trace the real causes of the dis
asters which, of late. have overwhelmed
so many of our rich men, says an ex-
change, we will generally find that these
disasters are mainly attributable to
"outside speculation" Outside specu-
lation is as essentially an American ex-
preston as it is peculiarly national
weakness. In Europe, where business
is conducted on more conservative
basis, where the merchant is content
with more modest rewards, devotes less
time to business cares and does not
yield up his whole life to the pursuit
of wealth with that feverish intensity
which characterizes the American, out
side speculations are comparatively un-
known. Each one pursues his own par
ticular avocation or line of business, in
vests his gains in properties with
which he is familiar, and does not risk
them in doubtful speculation with the
hope of doubling the accumulations of
years by some lucky hit. In this
country, on the other hand, great vicis-
STUDIES in fortune mark our commercial
history. In prosperous times the
American business man makes large
profits. At certain periods of the year
he has very considerable capital lying
idle. Seasons ofexceptional prosperity
engender all manner of new enter
prises-such as railroad and mining
companies, and the like. Our thriving
business man hears daily of the enorm
Gus rise in the shares of these COM
panies. He has ample funds on hand
and stands in good credit. Others
have made money in this manner, and
why should not he do likewise? Thus
he embarks in outside speculations,
which for years may be successful, but
which in nine cases out of ten have
ultimately been the ruin Of those who
tried them. Those rich men and wealthy
families in New York, living on incomes
derived from accumulated wealth or
the returns of legitimate business,
never speculate. The Astors don't
speculate. A. T. Stewart never specu-
lated. All of this class-more or less
wealthy-owe their immunity from the
disasters which overwhelm the less
cautious to keeping aloof from out
side speculation.
