doubtless, will be made with the Billings

WashIng the Face.

Helen Herbert in The Household-1
There are some who object to washing the
face often, especially with soap, thinking
this an injury to the complexion But those
who have made a speciality Of skin diseases
say no part Of the body needs soap SO much;
that the face, being constantly exposed to
dust, collects SO much it is not enough to
wash 1t in clear water. They say II soap
makes the face shiny, as so many claim, it
only shows hat 1t is the more needed, and
that the work Of drying after the bath has
not been properly performed The face,
however, should not be wet Immediately be-
fore or after going out. Its most thorough
ablution should be performed at night, be-
fore going TO bed, and the following method
should be observed in the process:
Fill a basin with soft, warm water, lather
n medium size sponge with good soap, and
wash the face carefully. Then AXE fresh
water, without soap, and wash again with
the hands, and rub thoroughly with a Turk
fish or crash towel until the face is dry and
tingling. This will do much toward improv-
ing and preserving the complexion; and the
little, %vexntious, black spots, called "flesh
worms will usually disappear after a time,

"Why Aro homely girls always the best
scholars, the best workers, and make the best
wivesfl This question was propounded by
an obsoryant and intelligent gentleman who
has been twice led TO the hymeneal altar. and
Is ready TO DO sacrificed again.
IA such really the casof'
Il have reason 10 know that It Is. II Is
natural enough, lint III Thu girl Who Is
handsome in feature and form concludes
very early In life that these are her stock in
trade, and with them she enters the mAtri-
monial market Nine times out Of ten she Is
soon off the books and at tho head Of a house.
Her homely sister has hardly entered her
teens until sho discovers she is made 70 stand
aside for the prstty-faced girls. All that
n~eatness Of dress, elegance OF manners, and
proficiency in the arts OF making ones self
attractive she does, deliberately and for a
purpose. perhaps, or possibly for no other
rOason than, Topsy-like. she grew that way
The chances are she does 1t solely for the
purpose Of compensating for her lack Of
physical beauty"
my observations lead directly TO the op-
posits conclusions" replied the Intelligent
observer. There Is among the great laws
OF nature one known rs tho law OF compen
sation, and am thoroughly convinced that
to 1t the homely girl Is indebted for the tastes
and disposition that prompts her 10 make
herself useful when she can not be ornamen-
tai"
Then II you had the choice OF two ladies',
ono beautiful and the other homoly, you
would take tho homely oneln
Experience and observation both teach
me that would be the wise thing TO do. The
first impulse would naturally be to take the
prettier Of the two, but ! would give the first
impulse time TO pass of, and act upon sober,
second thought"
The old gentleman may he entirely right t
this matter.

lfhrenological JournaLJ
As a child approaches maturity, the parent
should try in every way 10 win their full con-
hdence, especially In those little persona
mat en- that young folks generally keep 10
themselves They may feel sure Of their
love, but they want more than that; they
should have their confidence and trust, full
and u~nwavering.
Young girls standing
On the brink with trembling feet,
Where w~omanhoo and childhood meet,
have many new and perplexing emotions.
They are swayed by impulses and feelings
they do not understand. Life Is becoming a
new revelation to them, There is an actual
ttnidity and manufactures at tho discov-
cry OF these new emotions. They know not
what TO think Of themselves. They talk
freely with their companions and compare
notes, but they ahnte to talk to mother. "
They feel they can't speak to her; they are
ashamed.
It is a critical period in a girls life. Moth
ers should then do tie wooing. Talk 10 their
girls In a confidential way; tell them how
they felt at their age; confess the mistakes
they made, and acknowledge the blunders.
Let the daughters know that the mothers
were, and still are, human, and can sympa-
thize in their little tribulations. The mother
should come down TO the daughters level
and put herself on an equality with her. In
n short time the heart and confidence Of the
daughter are won, and the mothers fears, il
she ever had any, are gone forever.

Abusing the Hands.

liltulln JOuIIhll
The recent health exhibition in London has
called attention 10 a most dangerous fashion,
1t is said, which, beginning with actresses,
has crept into the upper circles OF fashion.
which is that Of deadening the skin with bis
muth 70 produce the deadly paleness charac-
teristic Of consumption Actresses and actors
have always. used some pigment
for the hands 10 make them unnat-
urally white, and this has produced a
disease of the nails. 1t Is curious that among
savages and civilized people equally the skin,
which is the most important windo OF the
body, is systematically stopped up with COS
metics. Now there is a morbid fancy for re
pulsivo ghastliness in English society, and
this pallor is produced Ivy bismuth powder.
The poor skin has beon heretofore patched
and rouged and stained with antimony, but
now 1t is covered with bismuth. The results
may DO better imagined than described. OF
course the face and hands, II covered with
any pigment 70 keep them white, cannot be
often washed, therefore one Of the best means
OF Kidding the body Of its perilous gases is
cut oil.
