The Use of Cosmetics.

wonder me much, as | meet on the
street, richly dressed ladies of perfect
dress and form divine, but whose faces
are powdered so thickly that the artifice
used can be easily seen, why they use
stuff. Deception that does not deceive
is useless. The world does not dislike
that which covers q spot of doubtful
beauty. The world may see the cover
ing, but the very artifice used in its con-
cealment is a piece of flattery. We only
conceal our defects from those we wish
to please, or in whose eyes we wish to
appear well. But the excessive use of
this powder for the face is both unskill-
full, harmful and unsightly. Men are
dropping into the same habit. l sar
dropping to make my meaning clear as
to the effect it has on my estimation. 1t
lis well known that numbers of society
young men not only powder, but paint
their faces and walk with the mincing
gate of courtier fop, whose only bust
ness and ambition is to say soft, sweet
nothings and act in unison. The age
we live in has tendency to increase the
growth of this effeminacy in men.
Oscar Wilde-here's wish for his obit-
uary-set the ball a-rolling, and no man
ever stepped on the horizon of the
worlds view and posed but he had a
following. | have a love for the bronz-
ed beauty of a man that passeth admir-
alton, and l smile and smile again when
q girl-man passes me in my walks.

The name of Sir Charles Wyville
Thomson is inseparably associated with
the first explorations of the depths of the
ocean, and with having proved that
abundant forms of animal life lived there
where it had been believed that only a
few scattering organisms were able to
maintain an isolated and precarious ex-
istence. Professor Thomson was born
at Ronsyde, Dinlithgowshire, Scotland,
March 5, 1880, and died on the 10th OF
March, 1882. His father was surgeon
in the service of the East India Com
pany, and spent most of his life abroad.
His grandfather was a distinguished
clergyman of Edinburg; and his great
grandfather was Principal Clerke of
Chancellary" in the time of the Rebel
lion of 1745. He went to school at Mer-
chiston Castle Academy, which was then
conducted by Mr. Charles Chalmers, a
brother of the eminent Rev. DR.. Chalm-
ers, after which he entered the medical
course of the University of Edinburg, in
1845. After three years of study here,
he began to feel the effects of overwork,
and, as a means of gaining year s rest,
we are told, he took the lectureship on
botany in Queens College, Aberdeen.
In the following year he was appointed
to lecture on the same subject in Maris-
cal College and University. In 1858 he
was chosen to the professorship of Nat
ural History in the Queens College,
Cork, and year after that to the chair
of Mineralogy and Geology in Queens
College, Belfast. He distinguished him
self from the very beginning of his active
career as an investigator among lower
forms of animal ife.-Popular Science
Monthly.

Larre Loss in USING Damn rnsl.

Burning wet or damp wood, or coal,
instead Of dry Is much more wasteful
and expensive than most people imagine
and the subject is worthy OF attention.
An extensive series of experiments, re-
Gently made at Bochum, Germany, shows
that six tons of finely broken dry coal
gives as much heat as about seven tons
burned as wet as it would be IL water
were dashed upon it and drained of for
q short time. And this is the condition
of much coal kept in damp vaults, leaky
sheds, or out-of-doOrs. The lesson is
obvious; keep the coal in dry place
and condition, and 5 to IA per cent less,
according to its fineness, will be needed
to obtain the same heat. -.
There is good scientific explanation
of this. Water, in changing to steam,
or cold vapor even-that is, in driving
off-conceals, or makes latent, about
1000 degrees of heat. If heated to 212
degrees, the boiling point, the steam
really contains about 1900 degrees of
heat, although only 2l2 degrees are SEN
sible, or are shown by the thermometer
The waste of heat is still greater in
burning green or wet wood. The sap or
water uses up--that is, carries off in a
latent state-a very large portion of the
heat produced by its carbon, or its dry
material. As much man and team pow
er Is required to haul three or four cords
of green wood as for six or eight cords
of dry wood The lesson is: cut the fuel
and split it as finely as it is to be used,
in the grove; haul it home when well
dried, and keep it in dry place for use.
1t will be worth far more for heating
purppoes than if burned green, or wet,
or damp even. The only exception to
this rule is only when, by reason of cas-
ier hauling on snow, and on account of
the leisure of men and teams in Winter,
it may be expedient to haul home the
green wood then; but in all cases let it
be well dried before it is used.

Smokers the Unselfish Ones,

Selfshness appears almost invariably
to accompany abstinence from tobacco.
The man who for long series of years
abstains from tobacco seems to lose all
sense Of what is due to other people,
and to be absorbed wholly in seeking
his own ease and comfort. The ferry
boats afford forcible illustration of the
fact. The cabins designed for ladies
are habitually crowded with men who
occupy the seats and compel the ladies
to stand. These men never smoke.
The smokers withdraw to the other
cabin which is usually dirty and dis
agreeable place. They never force their
way into the ladies cabin to occupy
seats to which men have no right. It
isonly the non-smokers who exhibit this
offensive variety of selfishness, and no.
thing could more clearly demonstrate
the degrading moral effect of not using
tobacco.-Neao York Times. !.
