Care of the Skin.

Most women value clear complex
ion, if attainable. Helen of Troy is
said to have bathed daily in wine and
milk to preserve the purity of her
silky skin. Cleopatra used various
medicated ointments and fragrant
cosmetics to enhance her charms.
The bewitching Cathrine of Russia
habitually washed in strawberry
juice while strange and mysterious
tales are told about the preparation of
the mysterious baths Ninon L'Enclos
is supposed to have INDUCED in. Our
fair sex are less luxurious in these
days, and we find that ladies who
value transparent skin, a delicate
complexion, in which the tint of the
rose is softly blended with the snowy
hue of the lily, are now being advised
by an eminent authority on the art
of keeping beautiful forever, to fire.
quently apply the end a raw potato
to the face and neck by gentle rub
bling. After rubbing, the face and
neck should be washed, and gentle
friction is to follow. Ladies are
strongly urged to keep raw potato
on the washstand. One great advan-
tage the potato seems to have over
other skin beautifiers seems to be its
exceeding cheapness, as one potato
can be used over and over again since
it is only necessary to remove little
of the outer surface and to pare off q
thin slice before applying the freshly
cut surface.

AstOnished at the Size of 1t.

Do women know the value of
money? Here is a story that would
indicate that they do not: Mr.. w.
was quite an elderly, wealthy gentle
man, having for his second wife
lady many years his Junior and much
petted. Any expressed wish of hers
he has at once gratifed, if money
could be the medium. One evening,
she remarked in her charming way:
81 saw to-day at -- store love
ly camels-hair shawl that l want
ever 50 much. Would you bring
home tomorrow a check? It's only
81, 800.
eyes, DEAR" he replied, 81 will
bring the money!" and the next
evening with the assistance of his
porter, he did bring home and placed
on the parlor table 1, 5OOs silver dollars.
AT the sight Of this pile of metal,
weighing nearly one hundred pounds
the wife exclaimed:
"What are you going to do with all
that money!"
"Why, love, it's the money you
wanted for the new shawl"
"GoOd gracious! Does it take all
that to make 81 800? Why, 1 had no
idea it meant so much. / will do
without the shawl, and put it all in
the savings bank, if youwill let me-"
And she did so, and has since added
several sums to the deposit. Mr.. w.
affirms on his honor that since that
event she has not asked for a quarter
part so much money as before the in
cident.

Cure for Drunkenness.

Breckenridge News.
Through the kindness of Colonel A.
Fairlie we are enabled to publish the
following English cure for habitual
drunkenness. Take of ground quas-
STA, to be had at any chemists shop,
one-half ounce. Steep in a pint of
good vinegar and take one teaspoon
full whenever the desire for drink is
strong. If persevered in for a short
time the remedy begets a loathing
for all kinds of intoxicants and in
fallibly cures the liquor habit. A
world of misery could be averted by
this simple remedy and we are as
sured that the greatest temperance
apostle of the day is the ground quas-
STA wood.
