DOMESTIC. q

COSMETICS. doctors, and chemists.
and Psychologists, all unite in saying
that there is but one proper cosmetic
pure soap and water. Even scented
soap is Objectionable, unless the smell
of an unhealthy skin Is to be hidden.
Complexion is dependent on the quality
and quantity of the blood In the skin,
and the condition of the cells of the
skin, through which the blood Is seen.
The way to insure having proper
quantity of healthy blood in the skin Is
to rise early, to be much in the open
air, especially during the hours of sun
light, to avoid over-heated, artiticially-
lighted, unventilated rooms, and to re-
tire early to rest. To keep the cells
which protect the surface of the skin In
a healthy state, all that is necessary Is
to wash the surface OF the body with
soap an d water only, or, in the case of
some delicate skins, which the alkall
of most soaps irritates, with water
alone. Whoever will attend to these
directions will do all that can be don e
to preserve, rs all ought to try and pre-
serve, their skins in the most healthy
and therefore beautiful conditions. 1t
cannot be too strongly asserted that no
cosmetic, wash, enamel, powder, paste
or lotion, can ever subvert the natural
process of waste and repair which, is
ever taking place In our bodies, and
which is part of a general law observed
throughout animate nature, that every
cell has limited period of existence,
equally as have all bodies composed oi
such cells"

The Ladies FaVorite.

Among the many thousands OF ladies
who have used DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription and pronounced it their
faVorite remedy, because so efficient in
the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to
women, are many who are well and
favOrably known in the world of let
ters, as well as artists, musicians, and
a whole host of names from the bril-
liant ranks of wealth and fashion. 1t
Is pre-eminently the ladies Favorite
Prescription, its use, while being far
more safe and efficient, exempting
them from those painful, caustic opera
tions, and the wearing of those me-
chanical contrivances made like Peter
Pindar's razor-seller's razors--to sell,
rather than to cure.

The Tower Of London.

The tower of London is locked up every
night at eleven o'clock, and the officials are
Obligedto go through an Old-time ceremony
which somewhat resembles the very juv-
emile games of ''Qneen Dido," ''Have you
a chicken?" and ''Shall John marry
Sue?" AS the clock strikes the hour. the
yeoman porter, clothed in long red cloak,
bearing huge bunch of keys and accomp-
anied by warder carrying lantern, stands
at the front of the main guard-house and
calls, Escort keys" The sergeant of the
guard and five or six men then turn out and
follow him to the outer gate, each sentry
challenging as they pass with 'Who goes
there2" the answer being, 'Keys." The
gates being carefully locked and barred,
the procession returns, the sentries exacting
the same explanation and receiving the
same answer as before. Arriving once
more at the front of the main guard-house,
the sentry gives loud stamp with his foot
and asks ''Who goes there?" 'EKeys."
"Whose keys?" "Queen Victoria's keys. ="
Advance Queen Victoria's keys, and all's
well. The yeoman porter then called out,
GOOD bless Queen Victoria" To-which
the guard responds, "Amen." The officer
on duty gives the word, 'Present arms"
and kisses the hilt Of his sword, and the
yeoman porter then marches alone across
the parade, and deposits the keys in the
lieutenant's lodging.

Therapeutic Use Of LiaSeed. DIR. Sher-
wells paper on the use of linseed and
its oil as therapeutic agents in diseases
of the skin, recently published, has
received considerable attention from
the medical press. 1t appears that he
was in the habit OF employing it in a
threefold administration. and these may
be here briefly cited. First, If the
patient were a male and had sound
teeth, the seed itself was the best form
in which to take 1.-THE man would
carry about ten ounces of this in his
pockets, and would probably consume
a tea-cup full in the course of a day
the ordinary domestic linseed is small
and dark in color, and contains only
about 20 per cent of oil, while that from
Bombay or Calcutta-the kind TO be
used-is larger. lighter in color, and
contains ahout30per cent of oil. Second,
i'm the case of women or children, the
ground seed, mixed with milk in the
form of porridge, is more desirable,
and noS unpalatablc. Third, in certain
cases it could be given in the form Of
bread, the bread to be made by mixing
linseed meal with flour in any proper
ton desired this method, however.
being hardly so efficient as the others.

Coloring Brdss-In colorlng and lac
quering brass work, says The Engineer
browns of all shades are obtained by
immersion in solution of nitrate or
the perchloride of iron, the strength OF
the solution determining The depth of
the color. Violets are produced by dip
ping in a solution of chloride of anti
mony. Chocolate is obtained by burn
ing on the surface Of the brass moist
red oxide of iron, and polished with a
very small quantity of black lead.
Olive-green results from making the
surface black by means ola solution of
iron and arsenic in muriatic acid, pol

How Savages Live.

The Uutes live principally on bread and
meat. When they can't get bread they live
on meat, and when they can't get meat
they live on bread When they have a
great quantity of provisions on hand they
eat it all up before getting any more. The
same is true when they have a small quaint
ity on hand. They are dirty. They are
even very dirty Their meat is generally
permitted to lie about on the ground or any
place. Each Indian family possesses any
number of dogs from eight TO fifteen, and
these animals help themselves to the meat
After they have satisfied themselves, and
the Indians become hungry, they cut off
this same piece on which the dogs feed.
They generally boil their meat, but some
times broil it, They put it in water and
let it remain only few minutes, just long
enough to heat, when they take it out and
begin to eat. They use the same water
and the same pail for boiling over and over
again until the water becomes a perfect
slime of filth. One pot generally does ser
vice for the entire family. This particular
pot is a frying-pan. When the Utes get
out of bed they wash their faces and bathe
the baby in it, after which they bake the
bread and boil the lneat. Then they eat
out of the vessel, and then the dogs lick
up the leavings. They clothe themselves
with skins of animals or with blankets
They generally take blanket or skin and
cut hole in the middle of it and throw it
over their heads, cutting arm-holes and
fastening the garment at the waist with a
wide belt, while they close up the neck
with q buckskin string. When the garment
wears out they cut the string and let it
drop, but not before. Sometimes the In
dians will wear as many as five of these
garments at time, always keeping the
cleanest one on the outside.

CABBAGEs FOR SHEEP.-Cabbages are
capital food for sheep at the present
period; old shepherds always prefer
them to turnips-they are such hearty
food, so they say; and it happens this
year, owing to the cool, damp summer
no doubt, that all the early turnips are
bad in quality. | often wonder why
cabbages are not grown more, consider
ing that sheep, cattle and pigs, are ali
so very fond of them, and they are so
highly nutritive in their properties.
Some persons say their landis not well
adapted for them, and others say they
require high manuring; but the fact of
their growing well OF almost all soils
in gardens seems to Indicate that they
might be adopted into field culture
much more than at present.

curiosity with pity was there with the
mourners. To the afflicted widow, in
melancholy voice, she said. When
did you getyour new elght-day clock?"
"I amt got no new elght-day clock"
responded the bereaved woman. "Why,
what is that in the cornerp Amt that
an eight-day clock?" persisted the Gu
rious visitor. "No; that amt a clock,
that's the deceased. We stood it on end
in the corner TO make room for the
mourners."
