AS chow to be pretty" is a subject
which more or less eXcltes all woman
kind. we reproduce for their benefit,
eminently sensible DR.. Harwood's
lecture on this interesting topic. For
those having thick, oily skins, broken
b. pimples and comedowes or black
headed worms, there is no alternative
but careful diet, if they would have
it grow smooth and fine-grained. But
little butter must be eaten, no fat
meat and the food consist for the
most part of vegetables and fruit A
tablespoonful of sulphur taken every
other morning for week, then omit
ted three mornings and taken again,
will clear the complexion in a couple
of months, but will probably make
the black specks more numerous for
a week or two. A mixture of powder
ed birthstone or sulphur in diluted
glycerine, rubbed on at night in con
nection with the other treatment, will
soon cause them to disappear. Wash
off carefully in the morning with soap
and water IN which there is a little
ammonia. After this, if the face
seems oily, wash it at night with
spirits of camphor reduced with half
as much glycenne and few drops of
ammonia. In the morning battle the
face as before with a little ammonia
in it, and after wiping it carefully
sponge it over with camphor and
water and in a short time the fairness
of your skin will delight yourself and
surprise your friends. There are
many simple embrocations that may
be used in connection with the fore
going remedy to great advantage, and
which are almost magical in their eff
fects. One highly commended for
whitening and softening the skin is
one part myrrh, four of honey, two
of yellow wax, IN six of rose water;
heating the wax, rose. water and honey
together by placing the dish contain
ing them in another of hot water,
adding the myrrh while the mixture
is still hot Rub this over the skin be-
fore going to bed

lie Dues Tea Farm.

1t was, three years ago says New
York man writing from Summerville,
s. c., that Gen lie Due, the late com
missioner of agriculture, leasted for
twenty years, from the Middletons,
family of revolutionary fame, 100
acres of land near Summerville, for
the establishment of an experimental
tea farm. The agreed rental of this
land for the twenty years was 81, and
a silver one was specially coined for
the purpose, commemorative OF the
occasion. Congress appropriated S25,-
600 to carry on the experiments, more
than half of which sum lie Due spent
on this farm. He was rather QulXo-
tic in his schemes, and the bulk of the
labor was devoted to preparing a
show" place rather than for the
furtherauce of the main object, which
was the tea growing. This it was, as
much as anything else, that caused
the partial abandonment of the ex-
pertinent. Now from neglect the tea
plants, Of which several hundred
thousand were planted out in nursery
beds, are growing wild, and so close
together that they are more like crop
of wheat than the bushy habits that
the tea plants assumes when properly
/ taken care of while in this light, sandy
loan and crowded condition, the only
root they seemed to make is an inn
mense tap root, which foot under the
ground is twice as thick as any por-
! ton of the stem. Seedlings just three
years old. measured seven feet high.

him the appearance of having ele-
plants ears. The one on the right ear
measures eight inches across and
twenty five inches in circumference.
The one on the left ear was about six
inches across. The weight of both
tumors when removed was three

The janitor announced that some
evil-minded person who had sought to
enter Paradise Hall the evening be-
fore by way of the side door had put
his foot in a bear trap waiting there
for just such an emergency. The jaws
and teeth of the trap were stained
with blood, proving that the fellow
had been considerably astonisheI in
his mad career. He had managed to
pry open the jaws and drag himself
away, leaving nothing behind by
which identity could be suspected.
A vote of thanks was given the
ianitor for his vigilance, and the sec
rotary was instructed to advertise for
information concerning the victim
If he will come forward and state how
it feels to step suddenly into bear

recipe for removing the marks left by
the teeth.

The origin OF Mosquitoes.
The Manhattan.


The Indians have a very saustacto-
nv account of the origin of mosqnit-
oes. The legend runs thus: There
were in old times, many moons ago,
two feathered monsters permitted by
the Manitou to descend from the sky
and alight on the banks of the Seneca
river. Their form was exactly that of
the mosquito. They were So large
that they darkened the sun like a
cloud as they flew toward the earth.
Standing on either bank they guard
ed the river and stretching their long
necks into the canoes of the Indians,
as they attempted TO paddle along the
stream. gobbled them up, as the Stork
king in the fable gobbled up the frogs.
The destruction of life was so great
that not an Indian could pass without
being devoured in the attempt. 1t
was long before the monster could be
exterminated, and then only by the
combined efforts Of all the warriors
Of the Cayuga and Onondaga nations.
The battle was terrible, but the war
rors finally triumphed, and the mann
moth mosquitoes were left upburrled.
For this neglect the Indians had to
pay dearly. The carcasses decompos-
ed and the particles, vivifed by the
sun, flew off in clouds of mosquitoes,
which have filed the country ever
since.

The sudden, though not wholly uneN-

has cast gloom over us all. "Our sor-
row seems like an untimely frost in the
springtime, while all nature is eXuberent
with life, blighting the buds and BIOS
SONS, and hushing the singing birds; so
to our dim vision seems the change which
has come to life upon the threshold of
a beauteous womanhood. But we re-
member we are on the wrong side of the
lOhm to understand fully the design of
the Master. We see through a glass
dimly, and only the tangled thread; He
sees the perfect pattern" The funeral

TEEN had assembled to pay their last re-
spects to the remains of the departed.
Rev. II. Il. Beach ofliciated. He gave
expression to thoughts very appropriate
to the occasion, although with much eff
fort, as he felt more like going as
mourner. The deceased was in her 18th
year. She has been the Sunday school
secretary for more than year. She was
a bright, genial, warm-hearted girl, and
leaves many loving friends TO mourn her
loss, beside the deeply afflicted father,
mother and two sisters. But her hope
was in Christ, and "Only Waiting" was
the last piece she sang. The floral dec
orations were more than ordinarily elab-
crate. An unusually long procession
wended their way to the village ceme-
terry, where the grave was beautifully
trimmed by sympathzing hands till it
seemed bed of tlowers-a fitting place
of repose for her whose life was typical
of theirs
