are both liable to attacks of illness, but
neither is afflicted except at convenient
moments. Whenever the Chancellor
does not wish to appear in the Reich

neuralgia, and whenever Parnell wishes
to keep silent he catches cold, no mat

The Rev. Sam Jones, whatever his
other characteristics, has truly script
ural regard for money. If he is cor
rectly reported, he says: Il have no
use for money; / have all the money /
want. My needs are supplied bounti-
fully. My family is comfortable and
happy, and 1 can't see what on earth 1
won d do with money if 1 had it. A
couple of hundred dollars in bank is an
abundance. and is all have As long
as man has plenty for his wife and
children and himself he ought to be
contented. / don't think the Lord sent
me out into the world to make money,
but He did send me out into the world
to do good. AS far as my wife is con-
cerned, my life is insured for $12, 900,
the interest on which, when am gone,
will be enough to keep her; and as for
my children, don't want to leave
them 81. If they are of any account
they won't need it; if they are no good,
money will be curse to them"

Undervests and Sisirts-Plain Talk for wo
men by "a Woman.

The advocates of silk underwear next
to the skin have much to say in regard
TO the irritating effect of wool upon a
sensitive cuticle. They admit the SUI
perior sanitary influence of wool, but
assert that upon a fine and delicate
skin the hair shirt of penitent is not
more intolerable than contact with or
dinary wool. This is nonsense and
creates bugbears where no bears exist.
A silk skirt in summer is uncomforta-
BILE because non-absorbent, and it is so
expensive IL is nonresident for the ma
iority. 1t also rapidly deteriorates by
being subjected to the washing proc
ess, so that it loses much of its beauty
and softness before it begins to wear
out. FOR these and other reasons silk
underwear il not desirable in warm
weather, and the majority are to be
congratulated upon not being tempted
by it and on being provided of late
years with soft and fine "gauze" WOODEN
underwear, of which even the ordinary
grades (nfty cents per yest) will not
rlitate the finest and most sensitive
skin. These vests are high and

Look to- Your Comp exion.

Ladies who are in the habit Of using
lotions to preserve their compilations
and clear them may find in the follow
ing something OF value on that subject:
Lotions like pomades should be en-
ployed at night and always moderately.
Lotions may be employed in the morn
ing, especially if pomade has been
used the night previous. A pomade for
pimples is made of bicarbonate of soda
two scruples and glycerine one drachm.
A means of preserving freshnesss of
complexion is the use of pastes applied
to the face in the form of mask dur
ing the night. Use barley flour sifted
three ounces, honey one ounce, white
of egg one scruple; mix as paste. To
refine the skin take of blue skim-milk
half pint, slice into it as much cucum-
Der as it will cover; let it stand one
hour and battle the face and hands,
afterward washing them with clean
water. This is an old English cosmetic
and much priced. 1t is said to stimu
late the growth of the hair also. A
shiny polished skin is caused by an ex
cess of fatty secretion beneath the skin.
Soap cannot remove it. A saturated
solution of borax unites with the mi
mute globules of fat and forms soap,
thus removing the trouble. The fol-
lowing is also excellent: Camphor
water, one quart; glycerine (pure), one
ounce; powdered borax, one-hall ounce.
Mix and battle the face morni and
night, let ing it dry and remain for
several minutes, then wash In rain or
filtered water.
