The Knack of Selecting a Mirror

| have had some fun seeing woman buying

fectly true hand glaSs-OHe that would reflect
without distortion; but after watching her Il
while, became convinced that she was looking
for one that would not only reproduce her face
without deterioration, but would actually i'm

that is, in age she was just young enough To eN

though she had husband and four children;
she escaped being plain, yet she hadn't beauty
enough to make people stare at her; in short,
she was of a kind TO pass unnoticsd in a crowd.
With woman who is either positively pretty
or positively ugly, the question of looks is set
tied once and for ALL and her mind is calm on
the subject: but with one who is about middlng
there is perpetual and harassng doubt. One
day she is raised to heaven by accomplishment; the
next she is lowered to hades by something that
can be construed as a disparagemeLt. Now she
is perfectly satisfied with herself; again she is
somewhat disgusted; all the time she is in
certainty. Such, no doubt, the woman

glasses, trying her face in one after another

Her nose was tum-up, and the mirrors fairly

Rheumatism and It's Treatment.

rheumatism, like nearly all other diseases, is,
at its commencement, little more than an incon-
venience that is easily arrested by simple RENE
dies, if applied promptly.
We have seen sharp attack of rheumatism
cured in one hour, by keeping the painful part
of the body as near the fire as could be borne
the object being to cause the blood to flow free
~. The same thing may be accomplished by
brisk rubbing, hence the success of what is
known as ''the movement cure
There is no doubt that the condition of the
system which favor- the development of the
rheumatism, may be induced by the too free use
of sugar, milk. and sta rchy food, rs white -four
and potatoes.
Beneficial results usually follow the almost to-
tai abstinence from such foods. IL the quanti-
ties diminished from pounds to ounces there
is still enough left to make an attractive bill of
fare in the way of brown bread, lean meats,
poultry, fish, and vegetables,
As TO clothing, too much Importance can not
be attached to the wearing Of fannels summer
and winter. They are the best protection
against those changes of temperature that 81 Of
ten bring mischief, vi neither rheumatism, pneumo-
mia or other diseases. The greatest care should
be taken to have the feet always dry and warm.
But the most important OF all things in the
prevention and cure of this and many other dis
eases is frequent and active exercise in the open
air. The oxygen of the air we breathe is the
greatest of all purifiers. The more out -of-dOOr
exercise We take the more air we breathe; and
the more air the greater the publication of the
blood, and the better the heath.-HdITs Journal

How Colds are Taken.

A person in good health, with fair play, says
the Lancet easily resists cold. But when the
health flags a little, and liberties are taken with
the stomach. or the nervous system, chill is
easily taken, and according to the weak spot of
the individual, assumes the form of n cold, or
pneumonia, or, it may be, jaundiee. OF all
causes of "coll,- probably fatigue is one of the
most efficient. A jaded man coming home at
night from long days work, growing youth
losing two or three hours sleep over evening
parties two or three times week, or a yoIng
lady heavily ''doing the season, young children
Over-fed and with n short allowance of sleep,
are common instances of the victims OF cold
Luxury is favorable to cEill-taking: very hot
rooms, soft chairs, feather beds, create sensi-
tiyeness that leads to eatarrhs. 1t is not after
all, the ''eold' that is so much 10 be feared as
the antecedent conditions that give the attack
a chance of doing harm. Some Of the worst
colds happen to those who do not leave the
house even their bed, and those who are most
inyulnerable, are often those who are most ex-
posed to changes of temperature, and who by
good sleep, cold bathing, and regular habits
preserve the tone of their nervous system and
circulation.
Probably many ehills are contracted at night,
or at the flag end of the day, when tired people
get the equilibrium of their circulation disturb
ed by either oyerheated sitting rooms or under
heated bedrooms and beds. This is specially
the case with elderly people. In such cases the
mischief if not always done instantaneously, or
in a single night. 1t often takes place insdious-
ly, extending over days or even weeks. II thus
appears that taking coldn is not by any means
n simple result of lower temperature, but de-
ponds largely on personal conditions and habits,
affecting especially the nervous and muscular
energy of the bOdy

Buchanan's Romance.

\ more or less responsible correspondent, writ
ing from Paris, says: Il heard, lately, a curl
Gus and perfectly authentic anecdote respect
ing President buchanan. Ii is not generally
known, | believe, that the White House came
near having at one time an English and titled
mistress in the person Of that gentleman's wife.
While Mr.. Buchanan was Minister to the court
Of ST. James, he made the acquaintance of a
widowed lady of very high rank. A sincere
and irrycut attachment sprang mp between the
pair, and only the opposition of the lady's arts
tocTatic relatives prevented their union. 80
their INITIAL attachment resulted in nothing
more than a profound and lifelong friendship.
\ constant correspondence was maintained be-
tween them till the day of Mr.. Buchanan's
death. The lady hong survived her American
friend, her death having taken place only few
years ago. She was always noted for her kind
IL feeling towards Americans. and for her pre-
objection for American society. In n room apart
she kept a number Of souvenirs of her friend
including II fine portrait, and also some of his
gifts to her, which were mainly of literary and
national character, such as works by American
authors the photographs and autographs 81

The Red Plain at MOSCOW

The proposed coronation of the Car, at Mos
COW. though a polite concession to the rever
encc of all true Russians for what they. still
consider the real capital of Russia, is, histOr-
ically speaking, an evil omen of the worst kind.
The sacred '.Kremlin, or citadel. fronts q vast
square, on which Ivan the Terrible put TO death
by torture several hundred men at once, whence
it took the name of the Red Plain. The curse
invoked by one Of the victims was amply full
filed. Sixty years later, the Red Plain was
again red with the blood of 100000 Russians
and the Poles were browning their King in the
Kremlin On the same ground. close to where
the statne Of Prince Pojarski now stands. Peter
the Great massaered thousands of his insur-
gent Life Guardsmeu. The burning of Moscow,
in Isle, commenced near this fatal place, which
was also rendered memorable by formidable
attempt upon the life of the late Car. A spot
haunted by such memories can hardly he pro-
nounced an au>picious scene for the long de-
ferred coronation Of Alexander ll1.-NeT York
Times.
