OF the frequency of such occurrences'
But perhaps settler whom I once
encountered, and at whose cabin /
lodged upon the hea iwaters of the
Kentucky river, could beat even nv
friend Bill Short, in his placid content
ment with short commons and other
disabilities, always more or less Incl
dental to an endeavor to make one of
the army Of occupants or skirmishers
on the outposts of civilization. As was
so often the case, we had heen driven
into harbor with him by stress of
weather, and the slim chance there was
to reaching any more eligible place I;
and after lodging myself and compan-
ion in bed that had about two inches
of straw ON the boards, and that stood
at right angles to and almost touched
that of himself and wife, all he could
furnish us besides was some frostrbitten
sweet potatoes and tin cup of water.
II didn't appear to discompose the good
couple at all. He said he chad intended
to take some corn to the mill and get it
ground; and he had intended to go
and shoot deer, but he had put it off"
My friend thought that his cabin was
something like what is said of the bot
tomless pit If not "paved with good
Intentions" it was-for any traveller
driven to it-"tophet" all the same.
However, / consoled both him and my
self finally with the suggestion that if
the mountaineer could stand such the

Care Of the Hand.

A handsome hand is charming OBJ
iect in itself and seems to indicate re-
finement in it's owner.
To be perfect, the hand should be del
icate and somewhat long.
The back should be just plump
enough to prevent the veins from being
too prominent.
The fingers must be long and taper.
ing, forming little graduated columns OF
perfect proportion. :,
When the hand is open there should
be little dimples OF the knuckles, which
ought to be slightly prominent when
the hand is closed.
Much of the beauty Of the fingers
and hand depends upon the proper care
of the nails. These, if cut too close,
deform the finger ends, rendering them
stubby. The upper and free border OF
the nail should always be left project.
ing line or 80 beyond the extremity OF
the fingers, and should be pared only to
slight curve, without encroaching too
much on the angles. Soap and the nm
ger-brush are all that is necessary for
cleaning and polishing the nails. The
habit If biting the nails is as ugly as 1t
is fatal to them. !,
When the skin Of the hand is hard
and rough they should be kept almost
constantly gloved, and washed fre-
quently-but not too often--with luke
warm water and fine soap, to which may
be added little bran. A little cold
cream before going to bed is a common
and useful application. The skin Of
the hands should be always soft and

John Phnnix, Little Beggar.

John Phoenix Hieut. Derby, Of the
United States army was sitting one
evening in the lolling-room Of the old
Oriental Hotel, when a little beggar-
girl came in, and, with the keen dis
cernment Of little people in general,
noticed his child-loving, benevolent
countenance, and approached him, ask
ing aims. She was very young, inno-
cent. looking, and had none OF the ju-
yenile whine and persistency Of most
young mendicants whom one meets in
the streets and the halls OF our public
hotels.
Phoenix at once assumed mournful
expression of face and began to talk, as
it we're, confidentially with her. He
told her his father was long since dead,
and that he was then but little boy
with nobody to look to, and often had
not known where to sleep at night.
The little girls blue eyes began to
moisten; the lolling guests, most o.
whom knew Lieut.. Derby, gathered
