As warm weather approaches it is
we'll to remember that table salt is q
tonic to the skin. Water, in which salt
has been dissolved. forms a good bath
for the face, ueck and arms, as well as
other parts of the body. Anything is
advisable that will open the pores and
assist the skin in its expulsion of effete
matter. A simple preventive means
like this may spare much of discomfort
from both mental and bodily irritation.

Thursday afternoon an exhibition
was made at the office of Messrs. Haw-

posed to introduce. A number OF
prominent cotton men witnessed the
tlial of the model and appeared salts

of over, the teeth of the gin, and the
claim is made that this brush prevents

Childhood.

Childhood, sweet and happy childhood,
How / sigh for thee again,
When sported in the wildwood,
When gamboIed on the plain.
Childhood, dearly cherished childhood,
How my heart f1utters at the name
I listen to the voice of childhood,
And think am child again.
Childhood pure and joyous hearted,
Peerless gem of inn oeence,
Lost forever, now departed
Gone, alas, know not whence.
Childhood days are only given
For very little while:
A dream of bliss, thought of heaven,
sigh, a tear, and then smile.
