Hints on Cleanliness.

Once a week is often enough for a
decent white man to wash himself all
over, and whether in summer or win
ter that ought to be done with soap,
warm water and a hog's-hair brush in
a room showing at least seventy de-
grees farenheit. Baths should be tax.
en- earl y In the morning, for it is then
that the system possesses the power of
reaction in the highest degree. Any
kind of bath is dangerous soon after a
meal or soon after fatiguing exercise.
No man or woman should take bath
at the close of day, unless by the adj
vice of the family phJ siclan. The
best mode of keeping the surface of
the body clean, besides the once-a-
week washing already mentioned. is as
follows; As soon as you get ont of bed
in the morning, wash your. face, hands.
neck and breast: into the same basin
Of water put both feet at once, for
about minute, rubbing them briskly
all the time; then with the towel,
which has been dampened by wiping
the face, feet, etc., wipe the whole
body well, fast and hard, with the
mouth shut and breast projecting.
Let the whole thing be done within
Ave minutes. At night when you 90
to bed, and whenever you get out of
bed during the night, or when you
find yourself wakeful or restless, spend
from two to five minutes in rubbing
your whole body with your hands, as
far as you can reach in every direction.
This has a tendency to preserve that
softness and mobility of the skin
which too frequent washings will al
ways destroy.-HaUs Journal of
Health.

THE Chicago Post saws:

A bill has been introduced in con-
gress to give the heirs OF Gen. Count
G. Pulaski the neat little plum of
100000 He has been dead nearly
one hundred years, and yet 1t seems
the country owes him something. The
Count was Poiander Ga son of the
famous Polish patriot who died in
dungeon), who after futile struggle
for the freedom of his country, was
compelled to fee. first taking service
with the Turks, and then, after an in
terview with Franklin in Paris, com
ing to this country in the summer of
1777. He fought with credit at
Brandywine, was made Brigadier
General by congress, and afterward
was placed in charge of IS light horse
and 200 foot, which was called "Pul-
asks Legion" In the siege of Say
annah, in 1779, he was mortally
wounded. The congress of that year
voted him a monument, which was not,
Of course, erected; but the citizens of
Savannah gave him such a memorial,
and Lafayette laid the cornerstone
when he visited the United States.
He was brave man and a grand aux
iliary to our forces when heroes were
all in embryo; but in what manner the
country is indebted to his heir or heirs
in The sum of 100000 is not clear.
The Count was an outlaw, and his
estates we're confscated in Poland long
before he came, or thought of coming
to America. If his pay as an officer
was not given to him, that should be
made good, with interest, as debt of
honor. Beyond that we cannot afford
to be generous, or the treasury will be
surrounded by an army of heirs of
long-deceased patriots, whose fortunes
await only the naturalization of a
congressional appropriation.

WHAT the next few days may de-
velop in the condition of things in and
about Constantinople and the Bos-
phorus, can be only conjectured,
though it looks exceedingly warlike at
the Turkish capitol England has
been apparently diIatory and seeming
ly afraid to tackle the Russian Bear.
Her action has been so at variance
with her past history as warlike and
maritime power, that she has lost pres,
tige, and to certain extent has be-
come the laughing stock of nations.
But England now seems to be acting in
earnest. She has ordered her power
full fleet to enter the Dardanelles.
which is in direct opposition to the
Treaty of Paris, entered into between
the great powers of Europe, which
prohibits foreign vessels of wa" from
entering in times of peace. Turkey
being at war, England claims the right
to enter, alleging that the treaty has
no binding effect in time of war. Not
outstanding, England made applica-
ton which was refused by the Porte,
consequently her iron monsters gn
without permission. The result pro-
badly will be the occupation of Con-
stantinople by the Russians and per-
haps war with Russia and Turkey
combined. The two enemies may, and
undoubtedly will, form an alliance, the
result of which will be one of the
bloodicst and most terrible wars re-
corded in history. All Europe must
inevitably become involved. and what
will be the outcome is beyond the con-
ception of human thought. Sweden and
Norway are ready to strike IN behalf
of the British lion, and France stands
thirstins For revenge. Austria and
Germany, besides the minor powers,
are looking with anxious eye upon the
complicated moves now being made
upon the great war chessboard of Eu
rope, ready to take hand at an op-
perfume moment In the meantime,
the United States stands back an in
terested observer, ready to sell war
material to either of all parties for
cash.

that of late years the cheese does not re-

years ago. The time has been when, if
the farmer could not find his grindstone,
all he had to do was to mortice hole in
the middle of cheese, and turn it and
grind his scythe. Before the invention

People want rest. o, how we long for

He makes us to lie down in green pas

There was friend of mine in England
who told me that she went out to ride
one day. and met with shepherd with
large flock of sheep in front of him.
Instead of being like the Good Shepherd,
he was not leading them. but driving
them; and if they stopped to eat the
grass by the wayside. dog started out
to scare them on; and she got so inter-
ested, as she thought he was very cruel,
that she watched them for long time
but by-and-by he opened gate, and they
passed into beautiful park, and she
saw beautiful stream running through
that park, and after he had got them
into that enclosure they went down to
that stream and drank, and then laid
down by the side of that river, and then
she understood why he didn't want them
to eat by the roadside-there was dan
ger there. He wanted them to lie down
in green pastures and beside the still
waters. Now that is not good illustra.
ton, for this Good Shepherd never drives
u.s. He will not force us into heaven
But you will find that the sheep who are
willing to follow him-the men and
