The trouble with those sumptuous, red-chesked
blondes is, that in a few years they grow downy,
and perfect fuzz over cheeks and lips obscures
all good looks To prevent this. hot baths at
least three times a week advised together
with washing the face daily in water as hot as
can be borne, and masking the face in wax
cerate every night. or brushing it with isinglass
dissolved in hot milk. Further, no lady who de-
sires to have and keep good complexion should
ever eat any but the cearest and best Graham
bread or drink any water that is not filtered
Care in these two particulars will show itself In
improved condition in three weeks. To this may
be added the injunction to spend at least four
hours day in the open air, or In some sort of
winter garden, where sunshine, free ventilation,
and abundant space can be secured.

Bottles.
Among the numerous and interesting weak
nesses to which humanity is prone, there is one
of which the gentler sex have surely complete
monopoly. This frailty is a fondness for bot
ties Not for a bottle, or the bottle, but for all
bottles. In every genuine womans house there
is always sacred nook set aside for these cher
ished household gods. The man of the house
accidentally falls upon this carefully guarded
treasure, perhaps in housekeeping upheavals,
when doors are left ajar. He comments: "Good-
ness alive! What are you doing with all those
bottle? Half of them ought to go into the ash
bin"
The woman of the house flies to the rescue of
her pet dsities, and exclaims: mo, indeed;
have use for every one of them"
'Bosh," says the man of the house, ''rll bet
half of them are empty"
mot So" says the woman of the house, 81 can
tell you what is in every one." So she climbs on
chair and holds each bottle up to masculine and
contemptuous inspection, with this running com
mentary: That's my campher bottle and that's
my glycerine bottle; and that's my ammonia
bottle; and that's my shoe polish bottle, and
that's my ol-origanum for frost bites and that's
my chlorate OF potash for sore Threats; and that's
my witch hazel, for burns, scalds, wounds, cuts
and bruises which would be sure to come off if
didn't have any in the house; and that's my IL
delibleink bottle; and that's your hair-tonc
bottle that warranted to make your hair

There! therew cries the man of the house,
''thatll do! What are all those bottles without
anything in them9"
'Oh, those are empty perfume bottles that
keep because they have glass shoppers, and L
might need one some day"
"Well, but what are all those bottles in that
other corner2"
"Oh, those have such cute little shapes

of the house "Women's ways are too deep for

Why?

A baby came into the world one day,
And the parents smiled in pride,
AS swift to the messages flashed away
Came greeting from far and wide.
A baby went out of the world one night,
And the mother moaued aloud
For the stainless soul that had gained the light,
For the form in the pearl-white shroud.
Oh! the mystery here, the problem deep
Philosophers pause awhile!
Why do we laugh when ought to weep
And weep when ought to smel

Nor fret and wound my spirit so
To climb so far above the plain.
To reach the mountain height doubt
That I have eitherIheart or skill;
So should turn myself about
And roll my burden down the hill.
There's beauty on the mountain top;
The world of clouds is bright and fair;
But those who in the valley stop
Find peace and sweet contentment there.
TITS brave to stand where grandeur towers,
Majestic on the peaks of snow,
But fame must climb above the flowers,
And leave their sweetness all below.
He who would seek the upper air
Must, like the eagle, soar alone,
And find the chill and silence there
Turn blood to ice, and heart to stone.
But he who loves the voice of song.
And fain would hear the nightingale,
Must stop below. and tarry long.
To find the singer in the vale.
Let others yearn and struggle long
For plaudits of the coming years,
would not give one thrushs song
For all the music of the spheres.
Iwould not give one daisy flower
For all the laurel wreaths of fame,
Nor change my quiet woodland bower
For proud ambitions altar flame.
Though poverty may have its pains,
Why should scorn my humble cotl
Or why repine while love remains
In gentle dalliance round the spot9
Why should yearn for more, or shrink
From pride's disdain or dread its sneers,
Since wealth, ITSELF must often drink
The bitter water of its tears?
Then he who will may climb above
For wealth or fame-I do not care.
I'll stay below with peace and love,
And find my dearest treasure there.
