American Refinement.


If the American people are still SOME
what crude and provincial, il is not
because they are lacking in sensitive
ness to impressions, but rather because
of the circumstances of their surround
ings in Il country which is sill com
paratively new. Your tue American
really possesses lively Imagination.
lie is restless, sanguine and dissatis-
fled with results. II would be a great
mistake to regard him rs above all
things practical. The early struggles
of the pioneers and the rapidly pro-
crossing development OF the country
have by the force of heredity and en-
vironment turned his attention to ma
terial enterprises. AT heart he is an
idealist. A very few generations hence
and we shall see his artistic longings
struggling for higher expression. In
deed, they already are.
Long ago he manifested this temper
ament in that which came nearest to
him by shaping in fitting and graceful
forms the implements of his daily toll.
American tools have been for years the
models for the world. OF only in their
adaptability for use, but also for their
artistic forms. For several years We
have been giving unprecedented at
tcntion to the problem OF identifying
our homes aud OF adjoining our cities
with the most pleasing forms of archi-
lecture. This Impulse will 90 on,
growing broader in its application and
more earnest and concentrated in its
purpose.
The true American, according to his
lights, really cultivateS n spirit of re-
| iincment. He is not surrounded and
impelled by the tr ditiouS which have
built up and guarded social systems in
the old world. He has very little of
that sort of refinement of manner which
becomes ingrained into Il man by me-
chanical force of long training. But
the innate refine ent is there. The
men of no other nation SOW such real
ly chivalrous and polite attention to
women. A woman in this country may
travel 10000 miles and meet with moth
| ing but the most considerable and unob-
| trusive courtesy from all classes and
conditions of men; while under the
same circumstances IN Europe she
would be insuted or annoyed hum
dred times by those wh0arc called gen.
tlemen. Scarcely less is tho agreeable
courtesy which exists between man
and man among Americans when they
meet rs strangers.
The seeming rou.hnesS and inartis-
tic quality of Americans is only appar-
ent and superficial. We and our faith
ers for generations before Us have been
fighting a tough battle with Nature.
We are still great deal absorbed and
somewhat confused in the struggle.
We have hardly taken breath and re-
Taxed our efforts for a cool look around
us to see what life holds in the way of
her enjoyments. But the time is COM
ing when the din of battle will slacken.
Then it will be found that the Ameri-
can people have the native tcmpera-
ment that will be frlili,l soil for the
growth of humanitics. Then we may
expect in art and in litcratu,eall which
makes life beautiful an desirable.
America will lead, ~ see :ow leads in
the field of material progress. - Aibany

ton of the pig family. approximate;
that's all. These pigs are weary of
life. They court death every day in
thousand different ways. When an en-
CINE or a train starts up anywhere in
tho yard score OF these pigs will dash
recklessly up to and under the wheels.
Sometimes they get run over, but they
never find it out. They are ferocious-
looking beasts. The biggest part OF
the Flamaton pig is that which runs
from his high intellectual brow out to
the tip of his nose. Ii he would stand
on his hind legs he would be very tall.
As for thickness, he has none. You

in stamping it the postmaster would

BEAUTY AND ITS PRESERVATION.

pEh'ti hNb no h'sN'~hA' -Nii'A'
Grief, as well rs all agitation of the
mind, is detrimental to beauty, says a
writer in the Sacramento Record Union.
Too much excitement of the tear ducts
dims the eyes, and traces of the work
ing of the passions are lett upon the
face. Those persons who are happily
gifted wit IN cquablc temperament
grow old much less quickly than those
whose disposition are the reverse.
Girls sometimes bite and suck their
lips in order to make them red. 1t is Il
foolish habit which may injurc their
shape. Dryncss and cracking of the
lips, rs well rs "fever Sores" are
usually due to disordered stomach.
Persons liable to such troubles should
apply to their lips every night II salvc
of glycerine mixed With lard, which is
the best application known for that
purpose. A fever sore begins rs n hot
and painful lump on the lips, soon
changing into blister Ii is both an
noying and disiiguring. The sore should
never be rubbed or scratched. AT tho
very outset it should be touched with this
preparation every few hours: Carbolic
acid, ten drops; glycerine, II teaspoon
full; altar of roses, two drops. Beauty,
it is said, is only skin deep. Accord
ingly, she who would be beautiful
should pay the utmost attention to the
rules above set forth. Beauty is not,
however, in reality, skin deep; it is
only scarf-skin dcep-as deep as the
epidermis. Blister n negro, and when
the epidermis comes away you will find
the spot white. The epidermis con-
tains the coloring matter which dis
tinguishes the negro from the white
man. the blonde from the brunette. In
this brief article the writer has only
treated of the skin troubles which may
affect those who are in health. When
affections of the skin spring from con-
sttutional disorders, constitutional
remedies must be sought.

representation were ordered to get

flee until the last hour before the initial
performance. Well, Drew is truly a
frightful object. His revealed mouth
