The Mice Did It.

An interesting exception to the distress re-
ported as prevailing in the building trades of
Paris is presented by the case of workman
there who has just been the victim OF what, it
is hoped, will prove a not irreparable msfor
tune. The honest fellow had saved 1000
francs, but very foolishly had not banked his
riches, and carried them about in notes on his
person. For safety, he hid them one day last
week ia the cellar of a house building in the
Avenue de Versailles, where he was working.
When he went to look for them the pocket
book which had contained them was lying
open, and the notes were gone. A few small
fragments of paper, however, were seen lying
about, and il occurred to someone that mice
might be the thieves and on search being
made mouse's nest was discovered lined
with the notes nibbled into small pieces. The
Bank OF France is trying to put the pieces to-
gether, and if the numbers can be ascertained
will give other notes in exchange.

PRESERVING PRETTY FACES.
Much Harm Done the Complexion by the
Improper Use of Powders.

Much Harm Done the Complexion by the
Improper Use of Powders.
From Letter in the Newark Advertiser.
The desire to improve the appearance or
preserve her beauty is implanted in every
woman's heart. Nothing can be said against
the desire; it is perfectly legitimate. But
very much can be said against the methods
wildly seized upon to reach the wished-for
end. A moderate use of simple violet pow
der for the bath or used lightly on the face is
not injurious to the skin. 1t has a pleasant
feeling and takes away the glossy look from
some faces; but chalk and paste that are too
frequently used give the skin an unnatural
and panty appearance, and when the folly Of
using rouge on the cheeks is added pretty
face is vnlgarized Many ladies have an in
delicate manner Of powdering in public, and
il you are a careful observer you will fire.
quenty see young woman on boat or train
or in a waiting-room take out handkerchief
with powder in one corner and deliberately
chalk her face, very often before men who are
standing about. One Of the most beautiful
blondes ever saw contracted the habit of
powdering to excess. Her natural complex
ion was exquisite and she had no need OF ar
tihcial aid, but she thought it added to her
appearance, and so she powdered to such an
extent that every one noticed it and gave her
no credit for what nature had neatly done for
her A proper care Of health and diet will
add the most Of anything TO ones appearance,
and the laws of health are entirely opposed to
filling the pores of the skin with chalk and
paint that are frequently composed of poison
Gus Ingredients, which are not only danger
Gus, but vulgar. Mrs. Labouchere's
advice to ladies is to wash their
face in very hot water if they wish
a beautiful skin and no wrinkles has been
widely read and adopted by many women.
The complexion, because it is one of the first
and foremost attributes Of feminine beauty, is
more tempered with, more subjected to every
conceivable style of treatment than the care oil
the hair, teeth, eyebrows, lashes, nails and
hands would amount to altogether, if summed
up in one. Such various treatments of the
skin often result in doing it more harm than
good. Washing in hot water is undoubtedly
very beneficial for the skin in certain cases,
but with all due respect to..Mrs. Labouchere, il
is not 10 be recommended universally 1t is
self-evident that each type requires a treat
ment particularly adapted 10 its own needs,
and women must exercise their own judgment
in such matters and study what sort of skin
they really have.
1t is not well to use much soap, notwith
standing some women preach another gospe
in reference to this; but il you have a very
fresh, tough skin you may be able to stand
frequent gatherings Tor few years and imagine
you owe your freshness Of coloring to that
but you will soon see the folly.

How Co Loosen a Tight Screw.

The London Builder says: Zone of the
most simple and readiest methods for loos-
ening a rusted screw is to apply heat to the
head of the screw. A small bar or rod of
iron, fiat at the end, if Redeemed in the fire and
applied for couple or three minutes to the
head of the rusted screw, will, as soon as it
heats the screw, render its withdrawal as easy
by the screw driver as il il was only a recently
inserted screw. As there is kitchen poker
in every house, that instrument, if heated at
its extremity, and applied for a few minutes to
the head of the screw or screws, will do the
required work OF loosening, and an ordinary
screwdriver will do the rest, without causing
the least damage, trouble or vexation of spirit.
In all work above the common kind, where
it is necessary to use screws, and particularly
in hinge work and mountings, fancy faSten-
iugs and appliances affixed to joinery or fur
niture work, we would advise the oiling OF
screws or the dipping of their points in grease
before driving them. This will render them
more easy to drive and also to withdraw, and
it will undoubtedly retard for longer time
the action of rusting."

Why They Did 1t.

The Chicago Tribune, referring to
the passage of the high-license law
in Missouri, says;
"This law was framed and actu-
ally passed by Democrats, who are
anti prohibitionists, but who
know that failure to enact a law
restraining the abuses of free
liquor system would result in such
popular demand for prohibition
that it would subordinate all party
control to that question, imperll-
ling the Democratic ascendency."-

Treatment of Trees.

Every cherry grower must be
fully aware of the great necessity
to observe the utmost care in pro-
tecting cherry trees from injury of
any kind, especially bruises. 1t
is, therefore, not for them, but for
those that do not know, that we
give these hints. A blow from the
hoe, the scratching or barking by
the singletree in blowing or har-
rowing, or even a kick by the heel
of boot, will almost invariably
cause damage that the tree will
never outgrow. A kind of ganggene
sets in, which all the effort of the
tree, however young and vigorous
it may be, will never recover from.
We had a Downtain tree as thick
as a mans arm, which having a
few 1ipe cherries that we wished to
jar off to TASTE, it being the first
fruiting, we struck the trunk with
the heel Of the boot, which broke
through the bark. 1t seemed to be
so trlfing as not to be worth
thought, but the following year the
bark was dead two inches in diam
eter The following year it was
three inches, and in four or five
years after, one half Of the wood
was exposed and dead, and in a
year or two more the tree itself
died, clearly from the one slight
blow of a boot.-Geymantoaon Tele-
graph.
