Always Neat.

Some folks are very charming at even
ing parties, but surprise them in the
morning when not looking for company,
and the enchantment is gone. There is
good sense in the following advice to
young ladies:
Your every day toilet is part of your
character. A little girl who looks like a
''fury" or a ''sloven," in the morning, is
not to be trusted, however finely she may
look in the evening. No matter how hum
BILE your room may be, there are eight
things it should contain: q mirror, wash
stand, soap, towel, comb, hair brush, nail
brush and toothbrush. These are just as
essential as your breakfast, before which
you should make good use of them. Pa
rents who fail to provide their children
with such appliances not only make q
great mistake, but commit sin of omis-
sion.
Look tidy in tbe morning, and after
dinner-work is over improve your toilet.
Make it rule of your daily life to ''dress
up" for the afternoon. Your dress may
not, or need not, be anything better than
calico; but with ribbon or some bit of
ornament, you can have an air of self-re-
spect and satisfaction, that invariably
comes with being well. dressed.
A girl with fine sensibilities cannot
help feeling embarrassed and awkward in
ragged and dirty dress, with her hair
unkempt, should a neighbor come in.
Moreover, your self-respect should de-
mand the decent apparelling of your
body. You should make it a point to
look as well as you can, even if you know
nobody will see you but yourself.

To Remove Particles from the Eve.

Whenever fly, or other insect, a small
flying seed, quickIime, dust, or auy other
minute object, gets into the eye, do not
adopt the common habit of rubbing or
even of washing with water, but gently
raise, or get gentle hand to raise for
you, the eyelid, and bend the head forward.
In keeping thus the eyelid elevated, and
the eye quiescent for few moments, one
feels the flow of tears starting from the
organ which seldom fails to bring along
with it the cause of the pain, or at least to
carry it toward the corner of the eye next
to the nose, from whence it may be re-
moved by a fine handkerchief folded to a
point. If this operation is not sufficient,
then finger ought to be passed frequent
ly, yet gently, over the eyelid, from the
exterior corner of the eye to the interior
corner, by which means the substance is
made to descend toward the lachrymal
glands, from where it may be drawn by
fine hair pencil. If the irritating sub
stance still remains, then we are further
instructed that the upper eyelid must be
taken as before, and kept elevated as
much as possible, and the eye being then
turned toward the nose very fine camel's
hair pencil, dipped in cream, oil, or per-
fectly fresh butter (without an atom of
salt in it, remember), must be introduced
between the eyelids and the body of the
eye, beginning atthe exterior corner, and
ending at the interior corner. If the fine
hair pencil is not successful you will be
almost sure to succeed with one rather
larger. Should all these efforts fail,
which is extremely unlikely if they are
properly performed, do not set to work
rubbing or washing the eye, as you must
obtain professional assistance. Be sure
to bathe the eye frequently in cold water
as soon as, and for some time after, the
irritating substance has been extracted.

Beautiful Things.

Beautiful faces are those that wear
II matters little If dark or fair
Whole-souled honesty printed there
Beautiful eyes are those that show,
Like crystal panes where hearth-hres glow,
Beautiful thoughts that burn below.
Beautiful lips are those whose words
Leap from the heart like songs Of birds,
Yet whose utterance prudence girds.
Beautiful hands are those that do
Work that is earnest and brave and true,
Moment BY moment the long day through
Beautiful feet are those that go
On kindly ministries to and fro
Down loWliest ways, If God wills 1t SO.
Beautiful shoulders are those that bear
Ceaseless burdens Of homely care
With patient grace and daily prayer.
Beautiful lives are those that bless-
Silent rivers Of happiness,
Whose hidden fountains but few may guess
Beautiful twilight at set Of sun,
Beautiful goal with race we'll won,
Beautiful rest with work well done.
Beautiful graves where grasses creep,
Where brown leaves fall, where drifts lie
deep

Eating and Brain.Work

In spite of the example set by Scott
and Goethe, let me observe that nothing
interferes 30 much with brain work as
over-eating. The intellectual workman
requires nourishment of the best quality,
but the quantity ought always to be we'll
within the capacity of his digestive pow
ers. The truth appears to be, that while
the intellectual life makes large demands
upon nutrition-for cerebral activity can
not go forward without constant supplies
of force, which must come ultimately
from what we have eaten-this kind of
life, being sedentary,.is unfavorable to
the work of digestion. Brain-workers
can not eat like sportsmen and farmers
without losing many hours in torpor,
and yet they need nutrition as much as
if they led active lives. The only way
out of this difficulty is to take care that
the food is good enough for a moderate
quantity of it to maintain the physical
and mental powers. The importance of
scientific cookery can hardly be exagger-
ated. This is one Of those matters which
people can not be brought to consider
seriously; but cookery in its perfection
the great science Of preparing food in
the best way suited to our uses, is really
the most important of all sciences, and
the arts. The wonderful theory that the
most ignorant cookery is the most favor
able to health is only fit for the dark
ages. 1t is grossly and stupidity untrue
A scientific cook will keep you in regu-
lar health, when an ignorant one will
offer you the alternative of starving or
indigestion. -Hamerton.

PRESIDENT SEELYE the other day in
his speech at the Congregational Festi-
val in Boston told how at Calcutta he
was the guest of cultivated Hindu
gentleman, on the occasion of brilliant
social festival.
"But among them all no females were
present. We were welcomed very cor
daily by the host, who was very Guilt
vated man, judge of the high court at
Calcutta, who spoke English as well as l
did, but who was, with all his culture,
devout participstor in this service OF
idolatry. In the course of OuF>conVersa
ton, 1 asked him why he did not take
his wife out with him when he went to
ride upon the Madam (the Madam being
a superb driveway in Calcutta, where at
the close of each day the wealthy resi-
dents, with magnificent equipages, are
seen, but among whom no woman OF the
better class would ever appear with her
husband) His reply was at once: She
does not wish to CO. Which l suppose
was the literal truth. She had not
thought that it was possible for her to
appear in public with her husband, and
no Hindu would think of such thing"
"She does not wish to go" to the polls
is lot a conclusive argument against te-
male suffrage.-1he Independent.

The Agent and the Dutchman.

1t is a smart agents business to know
(and be able to give very glibly) all the
reasons why q customer should buy; but
the smartest agent sometimes meet hard
heads, who can answer as fast as he can
argue:
A young mau3 whose business it was
to sell railroad guides to any one who
would buy them, found a Jefferson Avenue
clothing dealer sitting in an arm chair
in front of his door, and after q kindly
salute the agent handed out one of his
guides and said
There is the handiest little book in the
world; it contains the name, timetable
and route of every railroad in this coun-
try"
al neffer puys no such kind Of books, +"
replied the dealer, as'he glanced through
it.
"But you want the book, my dear sir.
No traveller can get along without one of
these guides"
II don't care to guide no railroad, T" said
the dealer, shaking his head and turning
away.
"Hold on now-just look through it
once. Suppose, for instance, that you
want to go to New Orleansl"
al shall neffer go there so long as l am
born"
awell, suppose you want to go to oma-

"Den I don't go.p
"What do you do when you want to go

A STRANGE PLACE FoR PErs.-Tw

A STRANGE PLACE FOR PErs.-Two
years ago George Bidwell, the noto-
rious Bank of England forger, was
transferred to Dartmoor Prison. Soon
after he was apparently seized with
paralysis of the lower limbs, and has
ever since been an inmate of the
infrmary. Lately new governor was
appointed to Dartmoor, who was skeptical
as to the genuineness of Bidwell's illness.
The other day, therefore, the prisoner
was ordered to get up and dress, but pos
itively refused thereupon he was carried
down to cold cell and left there un-
clothed until he chose to dress. Within
an hour he jumped up and put on his
clothes, and evidently perfect cure had
been effected, but when he was being
stripped curious discovery was made.
Beneath his armpits were found tame
mouse and a rat. These he confessed he
had caught in the infrmary and had pet
ted and fed with crumbs for many months.

SENIOR FELIPE GARLIC, of Monterey
county, is meanly designated by a
contemporary as "the viIcst wretch
that walks unhanged," because he
poisoned his mother with strychnia-
ted pumpkin pie in the tenth decade
of that lady's life. Some journalists
appear to think a woman has the right
to live forever. We do not share that
opinion. Even Ninon de PEnclos, the
most beautiful. admired and elegant
woman Of her century-of accommo-
dating morals withal-had the delica.
cy to die at ninety. If her son had
had the spirit of Senior Garlic she
would have persisted earlier. Unfortu-
nateIy he became enamored of her, and
instead Of performing the filial duty of
assassination selfshly seized the low
er's privilege of suicide. So passed
from earth the sole suitor to whom
this amiable lady denied the favor of.
her preference. Heroic, no doubt, aid
commendable; but in homely, SUBJ
stantiai common sense. the act Of
Senior Garlic transcends it, even as
the solid merits of the comestible by
which it was wrought surpass the
lippant virtues of an omelette soufle.

rs HAYES TITLE ANY BETTER THAN
- PACKARDS.

This seems to US a dead ISSUE
Packard seems to have no title at all
to the Gubernatorial chair of LOUISE
ana. If he ever had any he has aban-
doned it, and Nichols is the dgfdcto
Governor, whether the legally elected
Governor or not, and we are content
with him if the people of Louisiana
are, and they seem to be, as a genera
thing. :,
HAYES has been, by law, declared
President of the United States, has ia
ken the oath of office, and has 80 far
discharged his official duties to the
satisfaction of the people generally.
IL, was not our choice; but there be-
mo some doubt in relation to the vote
of three of the Southern states, a COM
mission was agreed upon by MAORI
tv of the members of Congress, to
whom the matter was submitted.
This commission was the child of the
Democratic party, and readily adopted
by a majority of the Republican par
ty in Congress. Its decision was
against our favorite, and we feel IN
duty bound to submit to that decision,
Notwithstanding we still believe that
majority OF the voters of the country
cast their ballots for the Tilden cleo
tors. But having agreed to submit
the matter to the arbitrament OF tins
commission, whine comes with bad
grace from us after the decision is
against US.
The New York Sun and some other
Democratic papers argue that if Pack
ard was not elected that Hayes was
not. That may be so, but one le-
gally constituted tribunal decided
that Hayes was elected President of
the United States, and another state
tribunal has decided that Nichols was
lected Governor Of Louisiana.
President Hayes has not by any act
of his decided the question as to who
was elected Governor of Louisiana;
nor do we understand that it is his
province to decide the question. He
has simply said that the situation in
that state was not such as to require
the presence of United States troops
and they were Withdrawn. This left
the people of Louisiana free to settle
the Gubernatorial question peacefully
among themselves, and Packard was
not long in Withdrawing his preten-
sions.
1t should matter little to true pa
triot whether the President is called a
Democrat or Republican. His acts
are to be the standard by which we
will Judge him, and so far we are fa-
vorably impressed and agreeably dis
appointed by R. B. Hayes.
