THE SKIN.


There's skin without and n skin within.

But the skin within is the skin without,
Doubled inward and carried completely

Which through every part is mNte to extend,

Good people all, have a care OF your skin.
Both that without and that within;
To the first, give plenty of water and soap,

The skin contains millions Of perspir-
atory tubes, through which pass every
hour pound or more of greasy refuse
and efletc material and two pounds or
more of sensible perspiration. These
waste materials must be washed away.
These excretions must be removed, or
II permitted to remain, they will choke
the outlets OF such waste and compel
1t TO seek some other way Of leaving
tho system, The lungs and kidneys
will be compelled to do double duty.
The proper way of relieving the surface
of waste material is washing, or bathing
Of the skin, that not only purifies and
refreshes, but confers health and vigor,
especially in warm seasons of the year
Cleansing daily the surface Of the body

of good2 Cold water only partially
cleanses. II does not open the mouths
of the countlesspores, but rather closes
them; while warm water opens the
pores and tends to take away the i'm
purities Of the skin. Evidently warm
water and soap should be freely used
to remove the impurities Of the surface,
and cold water should follow to give
tone and vigor TO the system, and
protect II against. the usual
changes of temperature. The latter
should be quickly applied that the de-
lightful glow of warmth should at once

of the summer months the chill OF

should be diminished, especially II their
delicacy is so great chat their surface is
easily congested.
Very hot water for bathing purposes
is equally injurious. The proper way
for all infants and children is to begin
with warm water and gradually from
day to day reduce the temperature.
And in changing the food the same
process should be pursued. Sudden
changes of food or temperature are al
ways injurious. Bathing or sponging
with cold water is salutary, If wisely
used. 1t lends the skin rosy hue and
conduces largely to health and comfort.

ton TO the men who controlled the
corporate capital of the state.
Threats of personal violence were not
lacking.
There were those who recalled the
fact that more than once in the history
of the State, thieves, blacklegs and bal
lot-box suffers, even those who as
sumed TO have been elected to high
offices, had been hung upon hastily
erected gallows by men whose only
authority for doing so was their natural
right to protect themselves and families
from being robbed and insultcd by or
ganized bands of plunderers. A large
majority. however, favored only legal
means for the protection OF their
homes. and il was finally agreed TO
build dam across the gorge through
which the debris from tho mines
flowed, ut n point above tho agrcult-
ural settlement, and by cutting
through the hill, turn the mass OF slick
ings into another gorge. which would
cause them TO enter the river at a
point below, and where no damage
would be done TO occupied lands.
During the discussions at these meet
ings John Parsons had said little, and
that little only when appealed 10 for
his opinion; but when tho building OF
the dam and the cutting Of new way
for the Overlooking debris had been
decided upon, he called Erastus aside,
and after comforting with him mo

CHAPTER XIV.
BUILDING THE DAM.


The events recorded in our last chap
ter served. for a time, to arouse John
Parsons from the unhealthy mental
condition into which he was sinking;
for SO long as the lads life was in dam
ger every other thought gave way be-
fore the one great fear of losing John
ny, his baby, his only boy. But when
the more imminent danger was past,
the fear of losing their home came again
with redoubled force as he realized that
his child must always remain a cripple,
dependent upon Others for every neces-
sity and enjoyment in life.
1t was at thought Of this, too. that
Mrs. Parsons broke down.
Always heretofore she had been the
one to preserve cheerful countenance
and to encourage her husband with ex-
pressions of hope that the danger to
their home might not be SO great as he
feared, or if so there would come some
way out of it
"The law will compel the company to
make good the damages if they occur, :"
she would tell him; "and even if we
lose the land we will still have the stock
and household goods and nice ilttle
sum of money in the bank, and we are
not very old yet and will manage to
live comfortable, ! am sure; so don't
worry, dear, it will all come out right
in tine end"
But now!
When she got down from the spring
wagon, and Johnny was lifted out and
carried in and laid upon the cot, from
which, unaided, she knew he was never
to rise again, an awful feeling OF desc
lation came over her. She was as one
bewildered and lost in the woods The
sky, the hills, everything about her,
took on the look they have when seen
through piece of smoked or stained
glass. The house itself, nay, the very
faces of her husband and children.
seemed strange and unnatural, and she
moved from room to room as If in a
dream. and when she spoke she heard
her own voice as if it came from afar
off, and was the voice Of another.
All day she was in this condition; but
the second day she aroused herself by
