Listen to This, Girls.

DIR. Carbally, eminent physician and
chemist, testifes that the cosmetics which
the fashionable bellies of the present day
are so iond of using, and deem SO indis-
pensable to their beauty, are the most
deadly enemies to the vital system. Par
alysis, that fatal and frightful form of
bodily iafirmity, is said to be the result
of the continual use of the paints or
washes used for enameling or otherwise
arti6cially Whitening the skin.
Dr.. Carbally further tells us, seriously,
that the peculiar droop of the hands,
sarcastically called the " kangaroo style, :"
and one which was supposed by the
community to be mere freak of fash
ion, really and truly has its origin in a
partial paralysis Of the extensor muscle
of the forearm, produced by the use Of
those outward poisons. Some fashiona-
bic belle, no doubt, had suffered in this
terrible way for her folly, and all the
fashionable geese OF her acquaintance
followed suit by crooking their writs and
dropping their hands, like SO many hens
with their wings broken.
We learn also that all powders, paint
and liquids which impart a polished,
scintillating Whiteness to the skin, con-
tain metallic poisons, and are extremely
perilous. The more beautiful, the more
dangerous.

A Bit OF Zine.

By the analysis of some OF the most
ancient coins, and of metallic vessels
taken from the excavations at Hercula-
neum, it is found that they contain a
portion Of zinc; yet, to the moderns,
zinc is a new metal. Less than a cen.
fury ago zinc was not considered as q
metal at all. Homberg, a philosopher
who wrote about that period, says
"Zinc is compound of iron and tin :"
thus implying that it had no Individual
existence, but twas compound. Such,
however, is not found to be the case by
modern chemists.
Indifferent as we are to "a bit of
zinc" there are few substances that
have rendered more service, OR been more
instrumental to the cause Of science and
the progress of knowledge than this
metal Considered in relation to its own
qualities, it possesses rare interest. Ger
tain combinations of this metal with
copper, under the euphonious names of
tombac," " brass" pinch-beck," have
been used in the arts, especially in
China, from time immemorial In the
celestial empire, zinc in great purity is
used for current coin. The money has
frequently Tartar characters on the
reverse.
Certain combinations of zinc, one called
white vitriol Il. E. sulphate of zinc) and
another flowers OF zinc (oxide of zinc) are
of great Importance in medicine. The
mechanical uses of metallic zinc are very
numerous, and have given rise to regular
trades for the fabrication of zinc ware.
The white oxide of zinc has come much
into use as harmless substitute for the
poisonous white lead i'll painting. Iron
chains and wire exposed to the air or
water, are now all dipped into melted
zinc before they ave put TO use. This
operation, which is called "galvanizing,"
entirely prevents the iron from rusting.
There are many other uses of zinc, which
we can not detail here. The great SER
vice, however, which zinc has rendered
to man is in the galvanic battery.
Without electricity many arts would
cease to exist; yet, Tor practical and
commercial purposes, we could not gene
rate electricity without zinc. What
steam owes to coal, electricity owes to
zinc. Whenever steam is used, coal is
consumed. Thus we find that electro
plating and the wonders of telegraphic
communications are indirectly indebted
to zinc; and by the use of the telegraph
we are enabled to answer Job (xxxviii.
35), in the affirmative, who, two thou<
sand years ago, asked, "Canst thou send
lightnings, that they may go and say
unto thee, Here we are!

Bird Engineering.


Walter SchWeikart, who lives on
Jefferson avenue, half mile beyond the
Hamtramck toll gate, relates that he has
noticed two robins of late at work in his
back yard trying to carry away email
toy basket which. considerably worn and
tattered, had been cast aside. Evidently
thinking it would make palatial nest
the birds hsd rolled it along and carried
it q short distances, but were unable to
get hold of 1t in such way as to make a
long journey with it. Yesterday morn
ing Mr.. schweikart as usual went out to
look at the work in which he was deeply
interested and saw his birds busy with a
piece Of string about eight feet long.
Soon they had pulled the string through
the grass-woVen basket, and chattering as
if wonderfully pleased with their scheme,
each robin took an end Of the string in
its bill and flew away with the basket
hanging on its WINGS Free Press.

Interest Laws.

The passage of a law in New Jersey
reducing the rate Of interest to six per
cent, and allowing no contracts at 8
higher rate, makes eight states which
have adopted 60 low a rate without
allowing the parties to settle upon a
higher rate. In six states the legal rate
is six per cent, with no restriction upon
contract rate. and in nine other states
where the legal rate is six per cent. the
contract rate is limited to eight or ten
per cent. There are in all fifteen states
which do not limit the contract rate, and
fix no penalty Tor usury.

THE SUICIDE.
BY JOHN MORAN.

That man was once as handsome as you,
With the trankest face and the happiest heart;
And they spoke of what he was sure to do
OF the brave-souled way he would play his part
In the struggles and trials and strfes of men;
They said such things, and they thought them
then.
Yet you see him now with his bloated face,
His unkempt beard and his vupine eyes,
While his tremuous fingers twining trace
The game, as the roulette flags or flies;
The gray, gaunt look that at times gives room
To an aDatnetic and awful gloom
A sullen, synical, shameless sneer
Has changed that sensitive mouths proud curve ;
those eyes, once rowing go bright and clear,
With quick surmise and sunny nerve
Are dulled and bloodshot, or only glow
With the greed or envy gamblers know.
His brain once burned with high intent,
His soul was shaping out noble ends,
And all the dreams of his life were blent
With love and honor, and fame and friends
And these are the heaviest stones that roll
To seal the grave of that murdered soul.
Yes. look at him well as he reels away
With muttered curse and savage glare
The outer temple in dread decay,
The inner altar profaned and bare,
Haunted by phantoms with gliding face
Hopes cast away and ungarnered grace,
But tonight, when he reaches his squaid den
Some memory flashes across his brain;
lie recalls himself man among men,
And his nerves are strung to intensest pain:
" Lost, oh my God, all lost - he said,
And they find him there in the morning-dead
Do you know that woman wrought all tiAis-
woman he loved with his whole SOULS strength,
Who gave him her red curled mouth to kiss,
And called him lover, until at length
She left him, as Samson was left of old,
Shorn of his strength? Well, the story is told
"Only woman!" "Only" you say2
Do you know the might OF those little hands?
Do you know they can torture, and starve, and
slsy;
Can scar mems souls with burning brands
Can scatter the seeds Of a pestlent blight,
Dre1rer than death and darker than night?
wonder whether, when men shall rise
70 give account at the end of days,
His mother shall meet those siren eyes
With unspeakable stern, yet sorTowful gaze,
And in judgment ask atonement just
For that ruin wrought by caprics ana lust'
But the world ways on yet methnks tonight
The silence speaks and the room is crossed
By ghost! An, quick. let me strike light,
For the air is echoipg, Lost Lost! LOST"
nd feel, in a voiceless and utter dread,
That my soul has talked with the man that is dead.

FARM AND HOME.
A Farmers Savoy Stew.

A Canadian journal remarks: "Ir
Canada we have learned something from
the French about cheap living. Perhaps
our pot>pie came from them, because
they are famous for their rich, wholesome
stews. Take a joint of any kind of fresh
meat, some like beef, others like veal,
like mutton, because my father kept
long wool or mutton sheep. In the city
you can get such joint for dime, and
in the country it ought not to cost more.
In all cases put the meat in cold water,
add enough water to cover it, and boil
until it is tender, for beef and mutton
say two hours, for veal say one hour.
Add salt and pepper. About half an
hour before serving, put in six potatoes,
pared and quartered, and let them boil
with the meat. In the meantime
prepare the dumplings by taking
one quart of -four, tablespoonful of
butter, and two teaspoenfuls of sifted
baking powder; wet with milk enough
to make stiff halter, so it will drop from
spoon ten minutes before serving drop
the batter into the stew, a spoonful at a
tire, until all is in, and then cover
tightly and boil ten minutes. IF the
meat is not sufficiently fat, add butter,
but not otherwise; it is generally rich
enough without butter. The batter
thickens the gravy as we'll as makes the
dumping. Serve, of course, on large
platter. Here you have meat and the
Juice of the meat, bone and the juice of
the bone, potatoes and flour, all healthy
and nourishing, good for brain, muscle
and bone. Enough for large family
does not cost twenty-five cents; all like
it; and we at home have this stew at
least twice week.
