How to be Handsome.

Most people would like to De hand

to improve their looks.
Now all can not have good features
they are Us God made them-but
almost any one can look well,
especially with good health. 1t is
hard to give rules in very short
space, but in brief these will do:
Keep clean-wash freely. All the
skin wants is leave to act freely, and
it takes care of itself. Its thousands
of air-holes must not be closed.
Eat regularly, and sleep enough
not too much. The stomach can no
more work oil the time. night and day
than horse. 1t must have regular
work and rest.
Good teeth are help to good looks.

c;aliv at night. Go to bed with clean
teeth. OF course. to have white tet th
it is needful to let tobacco alone. All
women know that. Washes for the
teeth should be very simple. Acid
may " hiten the teeth. but it takes of
the enamel and Injuries them.
Sleep in q cool room. in pure air.
No one can have cIeanly skin who
breathes bad air. But more than all.
in order to look well, wake up mind
and soul.
When the mind is awake, the dull,
sleepy look passes away from the eyes.
l do no, know that the brain expands,
but il seems 80. Think and read, not
trashy novels, but books and papers
that have something in them.
Men say they can not afford books,
and sometimes do not even pay for q
newspaper. 10 that case i, does them
little good. they feel SO mean about it
while reading them. But men can
afford what they really choose. If all
the money spent in selfiudulgence. iu

or papers for selfimprovement, we
should see a change Men would
grow handsome, and women too.
The soul would shine out through the
eyes. We were not meant to be mere
animals. Let US have books and read
them, and sermons aud heed them.

THE LEGISL4TIONA ASKED FOR THE
DISTRICT.
The Grounds for II.

AS the question of legislation for the District
oil Columbia is now UP before the District
committee OF the House, il seems to be proper
to recapitulate briefly some of the points pre-
sented in the memorial of the Citizens Commit
tee to Congress, setting forth the Onerous ma
ture OF the burdens resting upon the people OF
this District, and the imperative necessity of
legislation for their relief. The appeal was
made to Congress, because the Federal Consti-
tuition has invested that body with supreme
and exclusive legislative power in this Dis
trlct-Wlth the same absolute control and au-
thoflty as ii exercises over the National forts.
