Never Wash Their Faces.

When woman coniesses that her
really beautiful face has not been wash
ed with soap and water for six years, the
writer's ears are pricked up, and her
eyes open like pumpkin blossoms in
July.
"No, no, | never wash my face.
Wouldn't have a skin fit to be looked at
if did. But John don't know it, Ny
sakes alive, he wouldn't live with me If
lac did. for he il cleanliness itself Tell
you what do: First i rub myself all
over with a dry towel; then / take a
sponge dipped in elycerinc, diluted with
Florida water. That soOthes the skin
and soaks down into the pores. After
that 20 over my face, ears and neck
with a cloth wet with bay-rum, and |
polish up the skin till it fairly glows
with color. Now comes the difficult
thing. You see the skin has nap or
grain, Just like piece of satin or cloth,
and Of course. if you rub the fur the
wrong way SO much beauty of texture is
lost. So get Il piece of chamois and
work the skin down until it is smooth
and healthy-looking as YOU see it now.

(sugar) which the Asiatics made from
cane, without any assistance from bees.
This was the earliest idea the Western
nations had Of sugar; the Jews, Egyp-
tians, Babylonians and Greeks knowing
nothing Of its use.
As late as A. d. $50, sugar was pre-
scribed by Galen, the famous physician,
as a medicine Before the discovery of
America sugar was luxury, used only
on rare occasions. During the wars of
the Roses, about 1855, Margaret PASTOR,
wife of wealthy country gentleman of
Norfolk, wrote to her husband, begging
that he would 'vouchsafe' to send her
a pound of sugar.
As late as the year 100 all England
consumed only twenty million pounds
in The course Of the wear, but since the
consumption has greatly increased, twen-
" million hundred weight now being
used by English people. The process of
refining was not known in England pre-
vious to 1869. That was probably an in
vention of the Arabs. A Venetian mer-
chant learned the secret from the Sara
Gems of Sicily, and sold the art for one
hundred crowns. American Druggist.

HER INTENTIONS WERE GOOD.
Where the Light of Love Made Gas Almost
Unnecessary.

"Of course have no objections 20 your

er to his marriageable daughter, "but you
must not keep him so late. Keeping a
fire running all night lengthens the coal
bill, you know"
That is true, "a, gurgled the fair girl,
"but ! had thought of thet, and conse-
quen,ly have been very economical with
The gas. The saving in the gss will offset
the additional expenditure in coal, and
| must do George the justice to say that
his views entirely coincide with mine IN
practicipg economy in the matter of
light"
"You foolish girl" said the father
"how little you know. Let me inform
you, my child, that the gas bill never
diminisher, no matter how little you
burn"
"Slill you must admit, pa, that my in
tentions were good"

Origins of the Had Lands.

Red Bird, an old chief ofthe Mandan
Indians, visited the city of Mandan,
Dakota. few days since, and in an in
terview with Pioneer reporter told the
following legand Of the bad lands:
"Many hundred years ago what is now
the bad lands was high plain OF table
land, covered with rich pastures and
forests abounding in all kinds of game.
They were the favorite hunting grounds
of all the tribes who annually came to
participate in the chase and procure the
winter supply of meat-the calumet
grounds, where all could meet in COM
mon, and the bloody hatchet was buried
as in the famed Pipestone Valley in
Minnesota, where all nations of the red
men could meet with no enemy to mo-
lest or make them afraid.
"But finally fierce mountain tribe OF
many thousands took possession of
these famed hunting grounds, driving
and keeping all othet people out. Many
futile att mpts were made TO dislcdge
them without avail Many lives being
los; in the numerous battles for their re-
covery, a great council Of all the tribes of
the plains was called, and Their me dlcine
men ordered to invoke the Great Spirit
in their behalf.
"After fasting many days and suffering
sclf-inflicted tortures, applying acts OF
their medicine men, the Great Spirit
heard their cry and shook the earth
with wrath. The earth became darken-
ed, smoke and fire bclched iorth from
the ground, the vivid lightning flashed
and the thunder rolled, and the noun
tains sank and the valleys upheaved to
the sky. The earth rose and fell like the
heavens of storm-tossed ocean, burying
all in one common grave. Towering
buttes and dissolution marked the spot
where once stood the fertile plains. Not
one man, woman, or child was lett to tell
the tale of the naughty tribe ofthe noun
tains who had incurred the anger OF
Great Spirit, leaving these Bad Lands a
monument to his wrath"

When Sugar WINS Invented.

The exact date of invention of sugar
is lost in the mist of fable. However,
sugar is said to have been known to the
Chinese three thousand years ago, and
there is not much doubt but that the
manufacture of the article was carried
on under the Tsin dynasty two hundred
years B. c.
A strong claim for priority has been
made for India. Probably the Hindoos
learned the art from the Chinese, and
from India the knowledge was carried
West, Three hundred and twenty yeas
b. c., Alexander sent Nearchus with a
large fleet down the Indus to explore
the adjacent countries. When that off,

wher the breath of March was keen,
And the woods were brown and bare.
Covered from therrucl air
In a tangled bed of green,
Violets grew unplucked, unseen;
sweet and meet to wreathe your hair,
IL it only could have been.
But Loves heart and hope were strong.
And he smiled and whispered low:
"Wheu the summer roses blow,
And the summers swallows throng,
Though little while be long,
She will come at last TO know,

That tn year hath turned his face

Brooding mists and beating SHOWS
And along the rows
Leaf and petal fall apace,
And with each poor hope goes.

Come, let us to the concert go,
Altho' 'ts Sunday night,
II Is sacred concert, SO
OF course 1t must be right.
Much music to inspire the soul
This programme doth contain,
There's Audran's witching Faranlolc,
There's gay La Belle Helene.
There certainly is naught TO harm
The morals of a mouse
And sacred music has a charm
When 1t is labelled Strauss,
At sacred things, at pray'rs and aims
am the last to mock:
And revere the dear old psalms
OF llervc and LecOcq.
Old Onenbach's religious chants
My shcckcls always win,
So buy the tickets, aud wen take
The sacred concert in.
