A Scotch merchant who describes himself
las "having been run down in health and
lspirits," was advised by frien1 to try ma
rine hydropathics" for his recovery. Ma.
rine hydropathics" meant a trip across the
Atlantic in steamer, and the adherence t1
a regime specially applicable for men run
down in health and spirits" The Scotch in :
valid took the advice rendered 10 him, ami
thus recounts his experiences:
Making the acquaintance Of the doctor
on board, We explained the object OF our
"trip, and asked his advice. Well, he said,

Kaiser wilhelm as a Sculptor.

Foreign Letter.
The emperor of Germany, the SSth ami
versary of whose birthday has ju,t been
celebrated, has, late in life, joined the ranks
of artists as a sculptor, or, rather. as a
modeler When he was last at Ems. he gavs
sittingS to the eminent sculptor Professor
Keil, for bust. Among the numerous dec
orations which he wore was the grand star
of the order "Pour le Merite. The emperor,
dissatisfied with the position in which Pro.
|fesor Keil reproduced this star on the clay
model, erased it, and, with his own hands,
carefully remodeled it an inch or two higher
|up on the left breast The new star was not
perhaps, as deftly executed as the old one
had been, for, as the emperor laughingly
,said, it was his first effort; but Professor
Keil obtained permission to leave it exactly
las it had been left, and cheap plaster replicas
|of the model, which thus acquired peculiar
interest, are now being sold by thousands

How They Should BE Cared for Hints
Worth Heeding.

Youths Companion.l
While serving as protection to the ex-'
tremities of the fingers, we'll preserved nails,
add much to the beauty of the hand
On the contrary, nothing renders the hand
more unsightly than thick, irregular and|
soiled nails. But another consideration.
making a proper care of them of the highest]
importance, is the fact that every personI
who labors with the hands is liable to gather,
under the free margin of his nails, foreign)
matter, which may be very poisonous to the,
tissues Of the body. Many cases have oc-l
Cured in which the slightest abrasions of
the cuticle by means of the finger nail have
resulted in malignant, even fatal, infamma- i
|tons.
If, from any cause, the nail becomes thick
AMI inelastic, it soon becomes rough, AMI as
snnes the appearance of an excrescencs
rather than an ornament In this condition
it is much more difficult to keep clean. To
avoid this, the hand should not be subjected
to the action of strong alkalieS, such as
quicklime, etc; neither should foreign sub
stances be removed from the surface by
scraping as, from the peculiar manner of
its growth, this will cause the nail to
thicken
To cleanse the surface and the margin adj
joining the skin, soft nail-brush, mild
soap, and soft water should be applied once
each day, while the foreign matter accumu.
lated under the free margin. should be re-
moved as often as the hands are washed, by
passing the rounded point of a small knife
blade once or twice beneath it.
This being done while the nail is wet, one
movement will generally be sufficient to re-
move the substance completely; but care
should be taken to detach no more of the
nail, as this may, if repeated, cause the de-
tached margin to recede until it is necessary
: to allow a wide growth to protect the end Of
4 the finger
The pairing should also be done while the
nail is soft from washing, with an instru
ment which will make perfectly smooth
edge, and sufficiently often to limit tht
breadth of the free margin to about one
twelfth of an inch This breadth is best, es
pecially in the case of persons who have {,
{ do rough work with the hands, for two sea
/ sons; it prevents the breaking of the nail ant
E also the accumulation of much foreign sub
stance. The corners should not be verl
closely cut, or the troublesome condition
! known as ingrown nail may be produced.

nail,) the skin should be pressei--no
