GooD.LooKING GIRLS.
Their Drty to be as Beautiful as Thu
Can

Their Drty to be as Beautiful as They
Can.
It is quite proper, quite your duty, girls,
TO be as beautiful as you can. VI course,
your features are Interchangeable, but there
is an everyday beauty of demeanor that
double discounts mere featural beauty.
Suppose YOU are not endowed with pretty
mouth. Although you cannot alter Its
shape, if the lips are kept fresh and the
teeth in perfect condition, you have made
great gain. If your mouth is large you
can cultivate a classic repose OF feature.
Never bite your lips to make them RED or
for any other reason. Bathe them occa-
sionaliy in water with little dissolved
alum or .borax, and apply glyeerine and
tineture Of benzoine. This will keep your
lips fresh. A good tooth beautifier is pow
dered SULPHUR, which is also a good pre-
server. H. may be used daily. For occa-
sionaI use, say once week, the following
IS excellent Pumice stone, one ounce
b-carbonate of soda, one half ounce; pow
dered tale, one-half ounce. Fresh lips,
clean, white teeth, and breath like frank
incense and myrrh, will make up for many
deficiencies in beauty of outline.
1.-THE ear be big and obtrusive, loose ar
rangement of the hair or a few curled locks
brushed carelessly back will help the objec-
tionable organ wonderfully. Never comb
the hair tight back from an ugly ear.
As for the eyes, better leave them alone.
Trimmed lashes often refuse to grow again
Dark eyebrows and lashes are great pro
moter Of beauty, and if yours happen to be
lighter than your hair, especially if that is
red, you might touch them lightly with
sponge dipped in black walnut bark boiled
in hot water with little alum, or apply
simple walnut Juice. The eyebrow may be
given a slight arch and the fine line sc
much sought by simply pinching the hairs
together between the fingers several time:
day.
But it is through the complexion tha
you have the greatest scope for beautify
ing. If every pore of your skin is stuffed
full of lily white you must expect those
dreadful pimples and horrid black specks
The girl with the ugly skin must take {
two or three mile walk every day; mus
wear shoes big enough for perfect comfort
| and, if the skin be thick and oily mus
eschew fats and pastry. In the spring i
would be well to try the sulphur remedy
and at the same time you may rub sulphur
in little glycerine on the face at night
washing it off in warm water and few
drops of ammonia in the morning.
| little camphor in the water will remov
all shine. And remember, girls, all fac
| powders are snares and delusions.-Detroi

Reroiution in Education.

It is a striking fact, the turning of Sc
many frst-rate minds to the subject of edu-
cation and great revolution in scholastic
affairs, however gradual will certainly re-
suit from it. No subject ought to be SO
universally interesting. If none seem SO
tedious to US, it may be because our own
education was bad or that we have re-
fiected SC little about il that new sngges-
tons find in our minds no soil to strike
root in or that the completely and p.ac-
teal difficulties of it paralyze our faculties

Remarkable Discoveries That Some

Remarkable Discoveries That Some Of
Them have Recently Made.
Tt happens now and then that an ex-
plorer makes a sensational and wholly IN
expected discovery. Several unique facts
with regard 10 certain tribes of savages
have recently been ascertained. W. Mon
tagu Kerr, fer instance, has found among
the Makorikori tribe, in Africa, whom he
is the first to describe, gunpowder which
they make themselves for use in the flint
lock muskets which they obtain from ma
tive traders.
The tribe lives far from the east coast
and quite distance south Of the Iambesi
river. Their gunpowder burns slowly and
its explosive force is far inferior to that of
ours, but it answers their purpose very
well. They mix the effiorescence Of salt
peter with charcoal, which they make from
the bark of the mufati tree. This mixture
is baked in an eGrthen pot for several hours.
and then it is pulverized and spread in the
sunlight, where 1t IS left for the time. tits

the Chinese, discovered the art Of making
gunpoWder. Their fathers doubtless learned

gunpowder.
a few years ago Lieutenant Wissman
came home and told a remarkable story
about tribes he had met with south of the
Congo river, who were far more civilized
than most African people. His report is
now fully confirmed by the travels in the
same region of Lieutenants Kend and
Tappenbsck. They found last wear, be-

sleep on wooden bedsteads instead of on

home two wooden cups representing negro

workmanship. Behind the houses of this

WOMEN OF THE HAREM.

What General Lew Wallace says About
these Much Married Wives.
One of the conditions upon which d
woman enters the harem is that she give
up all family ties and connections with the
outside world. While polygamy is permit
ted in Turkey, not more than 9 per cent. OF
his Majesty's Moslem subjects have harems
General Wallace depicted in humorous
vein the curiosity of American women to
visit the harems. They always have
great desire to see the poor creatures at
home, and devise some means to raise them
from their degraded condition. After q
visit many of these ladies change their
minds about the fearful fate of the Turkish
| women. The Turkish ladies assemble in a
common reception richly furnished.
They are attended by throng of slaves,
white and black, who do their every bid
ding The mistresses of these harems wear
| costumes which the speaker, after apollo
! giving for his deficiency on the subject OF
| feminine apparel, undertook to describe.
| Their clothing is of the richest material.
| OF the general intelligence of these women
| their American sisters who have seen them
| do not speak in fattering terms. The con-
versation between the Turkish women and
! their visitors nearly always runs about this
way:
| w mere are you IrOn lNqu Tile
luxurious wives of the Mohammedans.
From America
Where is America"
It's over the ocean,"
DO you ever go out there without wear
ing wells? Aren't you ashamed before the
men ~
We don't pay any attention to the
men"
It is the general opinion that ladies Of
the harem are prisoners. This is merely 9
delusion. Every Turkish woman has hei
own quarters and her own slaves to wait
upon her She can take ride whenever
she wishes, and she wears what she pleaseS
without any interference. The Turkish
head dress is, with due Difference to the
styles of Paris and New York, the most be
coming of any in the world. 1t makes The
homeliest woman handsome and the hand
some angelic. The Turkish women are
next to our own American women, the

of them can be caught on Fridays, The
Turkish Sunday or from their carriages
They do their own shopping. 1t is their:
TO buy as they please, and their husbands
pay for it. 1t is incorrect to say that there
is no home-life among the Turks. Laying
aside the tie of husband and wife, there re
mains that almost as dear-parent anC
child. The residents of the harem, which
means 9 sacred or secret place, are passion
ately devoted to their children, upon whom
they can shower all the tenderness of {

DEATH N THE CELLAR.-A cellar was
never designed to be the receptacle of all
manner of rubbish, yet to this use it is
often put Rubbish in the cellar is death
dealing. 1t poisons the air, which finds its
way into the rooms above, and it poisons
food stored in the cellar Warm pastry,
milk and butter absorb noxious exhala-
tons very readily, and taste disagreeably.
Prudence dictates close inspection of
every part of the cellar every few days, and
the removal of all decaying fruits and vege
tables. Removing these fruits and yegeta-
bic viii pay in another way-the length
ened preservation of the others. OF all
places, the cellar should be clean and

parlor than in the kitchen, and better have
uncleanliness in the kitchen than in the
cellar. Let cleanliness prevail.-Americdn

A Musical Pigeon.

A German weman who resides at
the Belyedere House has a musical
pigeon. 1t is the habit of the woman to
play and sing on the piano every morning
At first the pigeon was rather shy and did
not pay any attention TO the music.
Finally the bird took a great fancy to its
mistress ard would follow her about the
room as a cat or poodle dog might do.
The first sign of superior intelligence the
pigeon gave was to kiss its mistress.
Whenever the lady lies down the bird
comes and puts its bill to her lips and
COOS IN that peculiar sound heard in dove
cotes. This affection grew so strong that
now every morning the pigeon comes to
her bedside and wakes her up by pecking
upon her chin. With this sudden growth
of affection the pigeon all at once became
a musical fanatic. 1t flies upon the keys of
the piano, and pecks at the black and
white worries as il trying TO knock tune
out. When its mistress comes it leaves the
keys and goes upon the top of the
piano, where it gambols and frolics
during the performance as lift were stirred
to its utmost by the melody. Il is Ger
man pigeon and fond of Wagner's music
"Lohengrin' causes the feathers to flutter
upon the bird as if it had bucking ague
of delight. "Tannhauser" is the next IA
vorite. Whenever tune is played that il
does not like IL simply lies down and plays
dead Many of the comic opera airs have
a mortuary effect upon his birdship. The
cry of the sword maidens in "Valkyr
gives the pigeon infinite delight, making il
turn somersaults of joy. After Wagner il
prefers Geunod. The soldiers song in
Faust is its favorite air. Strange to say
Verdi's music does not have much effect
upon the pigeon. Rossini's ''Semiramide'
has some. but none can compare with
Wagners music. The fair owner often
sings, and the bird seems to enjoy it, but
not as much as instrumental music The
pigeon is very esthetic bird, and has
never been trained either as an amateur OF
professional performer.-N. Y. Nal ana

You have asked me TO forget thee,

Then ask it not of me.
Tho my heart is filed with broken hopes,
And love lies woun ded sore,
I'll dream of happier days gone by,
And love thee evermore.
You have asked me to forget thee,
You have said your love was dead,
But yet know you can't forget
The loving words you've said
And in the midnights silent hour,
When thought doth hold its sway,
Ills then you will remember me,
Though am far away.
You have babe me to forget thee,
You have said that we must part;
But could you know the anguish
Those words bring to my heart,
Say, would you not forgive me,
And thy love to me restore
Let not my pleading be in vain
Take me to thy heart once more.
Oh tell me not to forget thee
For my love will e'er prove true,
For since the day met thee
I've only loved but you;
And, as the years go gliding by,
I'll ever faithful be
Ny heart is all thine own, love,
Then give thine back to me.
