Ear Rings.

The query who invented ear rings
does I OF rise so often in the minis
intelligent people as does the inquiry,
why will persons in this enlightened
land continue to wear them. 1t is an
easy matter to give a full and comprr-
hensive answer to the former question.
Ear rings, nose rings, and rings from
every angle of the body were, and are
still worn by barbsriaus and semi civ
ilized races. The love of adornment so
Characteristic of the human race, in its
primitive condition, not satisfied with
teeth and tusks, the skins and furs of
wild animals. grot. s1uely arranged
plumage Of birds and highly colored
products from the vegetable kingdom,
conld not be satisfied till the morbid
desire reached one step further, the
body was purctured and the glittering
gold was made pendant from every
prominence. In the process of dsvel-
opnent the mind came to dwell on
things more subjective, and these out
ward adornmeLts were Cast aside as
things of the past. suitable objects to
be thrown into one oblivious pit with
all :he useless accomplishments of the
darkness and primitive origin from
which they were introduced. Where
native ignorance holds sway, can still
be seen the untutOred son of Adam,
wearing on his person all the gro
tesque ornaments and gaudy colors
which his crude ingenuity Can devise.
Happily among the more favored de-
scendants of the original nan, who
have enjoyed and protited by the teach
ings OF centuries. no vestige of this
primitive taste exists, excepting the
impertinent earring. And still, to re.
tain this auricular appendage, the
young are duped and the old are hood
winked by the false love of beautify-
ing their persons. The obedient little
girl is made to protrude her tongue to
its greatest extent, that she cannot err;
under the excruciating pain caused by
tho pointed instrument which pierGes
her ears, her older sister will faint at
the sight of bo3ily Injury, but with
the UTMOST gravity and elf-possession
she can look on while holes are being
punched into somebody's ear. The
mother who in every other way would
protect her daughters FROM wrong or
injury, gladly consents to her little
girl having her ears distigured, and at
taching to the torn member some glis-
tening ornaments. The responsibility
OF u reform in this line, rests wholly
with the mothers. If earrings must
be worn, something other THIN that
at ornament must be offered as
an apology for wearing them. -Hauk-

DR.. Tanners Wife.

DR.. Tanners wife, according to cor.
respondent of the st. Paul Pioneer Press,
seems to be about as queer character
as the doctor himself. Writing from
Duluth the correspondent says:
AS the. papers are full of incidents
relative to DR.. Tanner and the estimable
lady who was his late wife, permit me
to relate feature of the idiosyncracies
of that lady as medical practitioner in
this city, and also as an evidence of
what tie too frequent use of pork and
cabbage will have upon the habits of
individuals. With Mrs. Tanner every
patient had, to her mind, an attack on
the liver. 1t mattered not what the
ailing of the patient was. chill, fever,
sprain, Group, or tumor prolapsus
uterus, a bunion or q corn, she inva-
riably said, " Let me see your tongue,
and after feeling the pulse would cay,
as certain as she spoke, Your liver is
affected" and Immediately she would
advise her sole prescription, an anti
dote for bile. 1t was common saying
in every family she visited, as we'll az
the gossip of every family circle who
were acquainted with Mrs. Tanners
PECULIARLY. that Mrs. Tanner must be
u pork eater to imagine that the only

of the liver, and that her educated
eye would detect in her patient what
no other physician could sea case of
liver complaint in every ailing person,
from mashed finger to an overgrown
corn on the toe, all IN fact to be the
outcome of diseased liver. In fact,
Mrs. Tanner lost her practice in Duluth,
where she lived several years with DR..
Tanner, in consequence of her liver
mania, and all, too. from her excessive
fondness, it may be called passion, for
the use of pork aud cabbage in every
mode il could be used. The people
here all know that DIR. Tanners asser
ton about pork and cabbage in his
family was as true as it had become
amusing.

receive assurance of the most friendly

failure of the Sublime Porte to execute,

zation of European provinces of Turkey,
and on the principal reforms required

on the fact that the concert of Europe
has been steadily maintained in regard

THE BEST soap for toilet use
ever manufactured. BEST because
it contains all tho excellencies OF
tho most expensive foreign or
American soaps without their de-
fccts. BEST because it combines
strength with delicacy in such q
way that its strong defensive quail
ties do not injurc the skin. BEST
because it is the result of years OF
study and experiment in tho soap
manufacturing business, assisted
by modern chemical discoveries.
BEST because it contains lngrcdl-
ents beneficial TO the skin, which
unite chemically with the soap
in such q manner as to increase
its saponaceous qualities. Every
chemist familia: with soap manu-
facture knows .5at some lngredi-
ents which are II themselves bene-
fetal to tho skin .,hnnot he seponl-
fed some are partially neutralized,,
while others in.:ure the quality or
the soap. There are soaps In the
market which are to some extent
beneficial to the skin, but they are
inferior articles for toilet use.
PHOSPHATE SOAP is the ONLY
article offered to the public which
combines all tho oest eleme:2ts or
toilet soap with medical ingredi-
ents beneficial to tho skin.

The Young HOusekeeper.

One source OF disbursement to q
young housekeeper is the fact that,
after she has done the best she knows
how, her housekeeping reminds her of
the action OF scale; when the front
steps, parlor and sitting room are up,
the back steps, kitchen and pantry are
down. 1t may be comfort to her to
know that in the best regulated families,
where one woman does all the work.
this sometimes occurs, but experience
helps to remedy the matter somewhat,
Beginning after breakfast, let the table
be cleared, the food all put away, and
the dishes placed in an orderly way on
the kitchen table. The tank should be
filled with the water, and the fire all
right to keep the water hot, while she
goes to the front part OF the house and
does the necessary work there, not neg
Letting anything which in the event of
visitor will cause her annoyance.
Get all the work as even as possible
narrowed down to the kitchen. This
plan should be pursued regularly; the
day on which it is departed from will
be one of defeat and humiliation. She
is certain to have one or more neighbors
VINO nave plenty OF help and who enjoy
running in to chat with her in the
morning. If it cannot be avoided she
can wash the breakfast dishes and attend
! to the lamps while cooking dinner. 1t
must not be understood that by
pushing oil the work back into the
kitchen this room is to be neglected.
Above all things keep the kitchen
clean-ia great measure the health of
the family depends upon this. A
pleasant kitchen, convenient and in
viting, is an inspiration to thorough
work; better meals will be prepared
there, and all that it costs TO make this
workshop what it should be will be
amply paid for by the increased COM
fort afforded the faithful housewife,
and through her to each member Of the
family.-E. w. 3. in Ne,r York Post

Care of the Hands

A well-for med hand, white ard soft,
with tapering fingers and polished
nails, is rare gift; but where nature
has denied these possessions it is easy,
by proper attention, to give at least
softness and delicacy of appearance to
the hand and improve the symmetry OF
the nails. An exchange recommends
the wearing of kid or soft leather gloves
at every opportunity, light being pre-
ferable on account of the uuctuous
substances with which they are pre-
pared: although not so healthy, and
the application Of warm bran poul-
tice to the hands once a week. They
should be washed in tipid water, as
cold water hardans and predisposes
them to roughness and chaps, while
water beyond certain heat makes

ing them they ought to be rubbed with
a moderately coarse towel, as friction
always promotes soft and polished
ivory appearing surface. The soaps 10
be preferred are such as are freest from
alkaline impurities. TIE beauty Vi the
nails depend Oh the treatment they re-
ceive. They ought to be frequently
cut in circular form, and the whitened
portion at the root, next the vessels
which supply the nail with nutrimert
for its growth and preservation, should
be always visible. When the nails are
disposed to break. some simple pomade
should be frequently applied and salt
freely used III the daily diet.

OF virtue. Amidst the thousands whom
the great panic turned loose upon the

were unable to starve with appropriate
weakness. Men suddenly turned out

Little wonder that, being only raen
