The Complexion.

/ asked druggist what particular article
or line of goods he sold the most of. He
replied without hesitation, Compounds
for improving the complexion. The num-
Der of these preparations Is surprising
they must be generally employed. have
noticed that while nine gils out of ten
have singularly smooth, perfect skin upon
their face, the doctor is constantly con-
suited with references to roughness nd
eruptions on other parts of the body. Girls
are not generally as healthy as boys, but
the skin of their faces seem much smoother
than that of boys, This difference, it is
fair TO presume, comes of the bottles and
boxes found at the apothecary's. | have
read, and you have all read, of the analy-
sis which careful chemists have made Of
great number of these preparations, and in
this way We have learned that they are
poisonous. Arsenic is very common in
gredlent. Not one of them, the analysis
of which have examined, is fit to rub on
the human skin. We all rejoice that tine
hair preparations so generally employed to
color the hair few years since have gone
out of fashion. They poisoned us, doing
a great deal of harm TO the brain and nerv-
Gus system. These preparations were gen.
orally less poisonous than the complexion
fluids are, but were taken into the system
i'll the same way, by absorption through the
skin. The impression is gaining ground
among the medical men that certain class
of nervous affections, too common among
our girls, originate in the fluids and pow
der which they employ to improve their
complexlons. What gain it would be
every way if they would keep their faces
clear and bright by frequent bathing, exer-
else, sunshine, and pure air AS things
now 60, they are not what they seem: but
if they depend upon the natural methods,
they would not only secure bright, beauti-
full face, but they would be bright and
happy from top to toe, all the way through
and not simply on small portion of the
surface.

Pitch Pine.

From Wilmington, N. G, southwark and
nearly all the way TO Florida, the pitch
pine trees, with their blazed sides, attract
the attention of the traveller. The lands for
long stretches are almost worthless and
the only industry, beyond small patches of
corn or cotton, is the " boxing" of the
pitch pine trees for the gum, as ii Is called
and the manufacture of turpentine and re-
SIN. There are several kinds of pine trees,
including the white, spruce, yellow, Rou-
many and pitch pIne. The latter il the only
valuable one for boxing, and differs little
from the yellow pine, with which it is
sometimes confounded at the North. The
owners of these pine lands generally
lease the privilege for the business, and
receive about 1925 for crop, which con
sists of 10, 900 boxes. The boxes arecavities
cut intothe tree near the ground in such a
way as to hold about quart, and from one
to four boxes are cut in each tree, the num-
bcr depending on Its size. One man can
attend 10 and gather the crop Ct 10000
boxes during the season, which lasts from
March TO September, About three quarts
of pitch or gum Is the average production
of each box, but to secure this amount the
bark of the tree above must be hacked
away little every fortnight. Doing this
so often, and for successive seasons, re-
moves the bark as high as can be easily
reached. while the quantity of the gum
constantly decreases, i'll that it yields less
spirit, as the turpentine is called, and then
the trees are abandoned. The gum is
scraped out of the boxes with sort of wood
af al x~f In
after the pitch on the exposed surface of
the tree has become hard, it is removed by
scraping, and is only tit for resin, produc-
ing no spirit. The gum sells for $l.50 a
barre TO the distillers. From sixteen bar
rel of the crude gum, which is about the
average quantity of the stills, eighty gal
Ions of turpentine and ten barrels OF resin
are made. The resin sells for from 81. 40
TO 50 per barrel, according to quality, and
just about pays for cost of gum and distil-
ling, leaving the spirit, which sells for for
ty cents gallon, as the profit of the busi
ness. Immense quantities of resin await
shipment along the line, and the pleasant
Odor enters the car windows as we are
whirled along. After the trees are unfit
for further boxing, and are not suitable for
lumber; they are sometimes used TO manu-
tacture tar, but the business is not very
profitable, and is only done by large COM
panies whe can thus utilize their surplus
labor. The trees are cut UP into wood,
which Is piled into hole in the ground
and covered with earth, and then burned,
the same as charcoal is burned in New
York. The heat sweats out the gum,
which, uniting with the smoke, runs off
through spout provided for that purpose.
A cord of wood will make two barrels of
tar, which sells for $l.5O a barrel,
and costs thirty seven and half cents to
make. The charcoal is then sold for cook
ing purpose.

Outdoor Games.

Physical exercise can be, and often is,
carried to excess but every one should
practice it within reasonable limits. A
gentleman should not only know how to
fence, to box, to ride, to shoot, to swim,
and to play at billiards, he must also know
how to carry himself, and how to dance, if
he would enjoy life to the uttermost. A
good carriage Is only obtained by the help
of drilling master, and boxing must also
he scientifically taught. A man should
make himself able to defend himself from
ruffians, and to defend women from them
also. What fencing and drilling are to man,
dancing and calisthenic exercises are to a
young woman. Every lady should know
how to dance, whether she intends to dance
in society or not; the better the physical
training the more graceful and self possess
ed she will be. Swimming, skating, arch
cry, or games of lawn tennis and croquet,
riding and driving, all help to strengthen
the muscles, and to take the young out INTO
the open air, which makes these games
desirable. The subject is one that too
much cannot be said of by parents, teach
ers, and educational reformers. Such
training should commence in childhood

ONLY A DREAM.

had dream. l thought that you and
Walked side by side along q murmuring
stream,
1t wss in early spring; the sweet wild flowers
Nodded their heads above the waters hem
The happy birds sang out for very JOY
or living. And we two wandered idly on
Or stopped to pluck n wayward flower which
chanced
To fringe our path; sang merry songs in
snatches,
Or grew as silent after. Till, suddenly,
We came to where the brook and river meet,
And mingling, flow rs one forevermore.
We stopped to rest ere we should homeward
turn;
And then, with sudden impulse, turning
round,
You lookd with your dear eyes into mine own,
And said THE brook and river flow rs one,
And why should our two lives less perfect be ?"
answered not word my lips were dumb;
But, suddenly, into my life there came
A gladness that had not known before.
And then you stopped and kissed me Oh the
mouth;
trembling sighed-snd with the sigh awoke J.
And then knew that had only dreamed.

Rules for Living.

am no doctor, quack or pill-vender, yet
/ have had pretty good long life and a
happy one. May not, therefore, just
give my sImple rules for health in hopes
some poor traveller on the up or down hill
may look at them and perhaps be benefited
by them? Ipracticed them for many years
and they have done me good; perhaps
they may do good to others. They
are inexpensive, and may be easily aban-
doned if they cause any harm.
l. Keep in the sunlight just as much as
possible. A plant will not thrive without
the sunbeam much less a man.
2. Breathe as much fresh air as your
business will permit This makes fresh
blood, but it will never be found within the
four walls of your building. Beneath the
open sky, just there, and there only, it
comes to you.
8. Be strictly temperate. You cannot
break organic law, or any other law, with
impunitY.
4. Keep the feet always warm and the
head cool. Disease and death begin at the
feet more commonly than we think.
6. If out OF order, see which of the
above rules you have not observed, then
rub yourself all over with towel, Satu-
rated with salt water, and well dried, and
begin upon the rules again.
Z. Look ever on the bright side which
is the heaven side of life. This is far
better than any medicine.
These seven simple rules, good for the
valid or invalid, if rightfully observed,
would save, | apprehend, great deal of
pain, prolong your life, and SO far as health
goes, it makes it worth having.

a stranger to religious prejudlces, for in
stance, recalls his reply TO the address Of the
Roman Catholics, who engaged their lives
and fortunes to achieve American Indepen-
dence, as well as that OF the Jews. At the
same time the religious opinions of Wash
ingtOn were not colorless. lie was bred in
the system of the Church of England, as it
obtained in Virginia, where the system was
tolerant, as some have thought, lax. Yet,
whttever may have been the tendencies
there during the last century, the system
was preserved in its integrity, and Wash
ington was in sympathy with the established
order observing all the forms. In the earlier
portion of his life, before his time became
otherwise absorbed, he was an active vest
ryman. He was also an attendant upon
communion. In the French and Indian war
he would ofiiciate in the absence Of the chap
lain. He read the burial service at the
funeral of Braddock; and Lee Massey,
whose discourses, preached in the hearing
OF Washington, are carefully preserved,
said that he never knew SO constant a
churchman" as he, saying also that his be-
havior at church was deeply reverential,
and produced the happiest effect upon the
congregation. Ia advanced age he may not
have attended the communion in public as
formerly, but of this we have no proof.
The proof however, is also wanting that
he actually did maintain his former
practice. When the period arrived in
which all eyes were fixed upon his
movements it would appear as though
his natural reserve modified his Gus
toms in general, and that he retreated
more within his own deep nature. The
same was true with regard to his Masonic
connection, for though remaining a true
member of the brotherhood he seldom Wis
tied the lodges to take part in their affairs.
He, however, never relaxed his habit of
church-going, and was in his place on Sun
day morning with unfailing regularity.
When travelling, as for instance in New
England, after attending the Episcopal
Church in the morning, he would appear at
the Congregational house of worship in the
afternoon, showing what is called his free
dom from religious prejudices; while hislas
words in his chamber at Mount Vernon
were: ut is well. :"

They Don't Know Me.

A ragged man of leisure who was sun
ming himself on the warf at the foot of
Grlswold Street, Detroit, was accosted by q
second, who was a little more ragged, if
possible, with the inquiry:
"And which party are you hollering for
this fall?"
Neither" was the brief reply.
"What, aint you fixedE"
"Not fix The best offer have had is
the promise of two dollars for two months
of hollering."
"Only two dollars? Why, what sort of an
election is this going to be, and Presidential
year, tooI Did you take it2"
Take itR" echoed the other, as he pulled
a loose patch over his naked knee, 81 did
not. I've been thinking and thinking for a
whole week past, and do you know what
I've made up mind to do2"
'tNo."
'I'm going to let the country go to her
destruction! Yes, sir; Pm going to see her
plunged into the depths of anarchy and
never raise hand to prevent. Two dollars
to save this countryl They don't know me,
sir-they don't begin to know mel"
And then the pair sat down on salt bar
rel and made dinner of hard apples and a
piece of salt Goldfish.

Poison i'm Food and ChIIdreu'S Toys.

The Paris authorities have recently been
preaching crusade against the use of poi
sons. 1t seems some fragrant instances
have been detected. The poisons which
have been selected for suppression by the
Partisan police include kind of yellow
sackClOth in which American hams have,
in certain cases, been packed for the Euro
pean market. Many of these are quite
harmless, and keep the commodities fresh
and pure, but in some chromate Of lead has
beel used to render the sacking water
proof, if not air-tight, and, though the re-
suit has been attained, the hams have been
poisoned. A peculiar kind OF salted her
ring has also been placed on the schedule
of dangerous comestibles, as the analysis
shows that the color is obtained with bl-
chromate of potash. But a more insidi-
GUS attempt has been detected in the case
of children's toys colored with poisonous
paints. The French authorities when they
commence crusade, generally continue it
to the end, and their efforts differ both III
energy and success from the capriclous and
dilatory proceedings by which, in this
country, slightly poisonous food is often al
lowed to be sold with impunity.
