AHecdOte of Josh Billings.

The late Josh Billings was once on a
passenger train bound for his old home
at Lanesborough, Massachusetts,. On
the train were several commercial trav-
elers, who, to while away the time,
proposed game of whist. A fourth
man was wanted, and gentleman sit
ting near was requested to take q hand.
"No; L do not play. But there is
an old fellow who is a capital player
try him"-pointing to the "old fellow"
who sat demurely on the seat in front.
"Good player, is hep" said the COM
mercial man. "Then we'll have some
fun with old Hayseed;" and accosting
the quiet, farmer-like passenger, the
young man, whose cheek was his
fortune, blandly said: "My venerable
friend, we would like to have you take
hand in a game of cards with us,
just to while away the time. Will you
oblige us?"
Looking the young man in the face
moment, "old Hayseed" answered,
"Ya-as, we'll be there in about three
hours"
"You don't understand, my friend
we want you to take hand"
"Ya-as, the stand O. corn is very
good-oncommon handsome"
The commercial man was annoyed.
"Speak little louder" suggested the
gentlem an in the seat behind; "he is
somewhat hard of hearing"
"My friend!" shouted the young fell
low, Observation-Disclosures
gamer
"Ya-as, game is uncommon plenty
all you vans is
"Oh, go to the devil You're -
deaf AS postl" and the man of cheek
subsidized, amid the laughter of his
companions.
When Lanesborough was reached,
"old Hsyseed" arose to depart, when
he quietly handed his card to the com
mercial man. who sat glum in his seat
and in a particularly comical way re-
marked: young man, when you
travel on your cheek, don't get hay
seed in your eye. See?"
The young fellow glanced at the
card. The subscription was-"Josh
Billings"
Josh got off the train, and the man
of cheek had to find seat in another
car to escape the "run" on him by his
companions. Editors DrdlOer, i1l

A Hint to the Girls.

There are more chances of making a
possible husband out of fool or a
crank than out of drunkard or vicious
person. The fool, if not too egotistical,
or too silly for anything at all, can usu-
ally be led, coaxed or driven, but the
vicious person can not. The woman
who undertakes to reform a man in
order to get a husband has undertaken
a task that is not successfully accom-
plished one time in thousand. In the
first place, man who needs to be re-
formed before he is fit for companion
is lacking in some of the elements
which are necessary in the makeup OF
even the average man. Frequently il
is just as impossible to supply these ele-
meats as it is to replace a gougedout
eye or missing leg. Substitutes may
be devised that improve the appearance,
but they are insensible.

The Story Of Ann Hutchinson.

/ have often read with grief and in
dignation the story of Ann Hutchinson,
the first great woman in the New World
of our race. She admired her minister,
who was q good deal of coward and
sneak Cotton. He was the first Cotton
who was king in this country. The sec
ond King Cotton stood upin manly way
for war. but the first King Cotton ran
away and left the woman to her enc
mics. The woman sold her household
effects, and had the force of character
enough to draw her husband into
ship with her, and she came out to
Boston to enjoy the preaching of John
Cotton. He was so much of preacher
that they named Boston for him. Ann
Hutch nson lived in Boston, and was
the daughter of preacher herself.
That was an age when bigh-minded
people were starting up under the cul-
tivation of the pulpit, preaching, and
exhortation. Ann had read the Script
ures for herself, was good critic, and
resembled many of the women of our
day, like Lucretia Mott and, perhaps,
Anna Dickinson. There lived in Bos-
ton, when she arrived there, a sour old
preacher named Wilson, who turned
the air bilious by breathing on it. He
had to divide Cotton's pulpit with Cot
ton, and Ann got tired of his windy
blow, and she m micked him in little
meeting she got up among the Boston
women at the time the crows were
drawing the protiles of that city, and
the goats were indicating the paths Of
opulence. In q little while Ann Hutchin-
son had become strong enough to start
O revolution in Massachusetts, and elect
Henry Vance Governor, who was
boy. She became the victim of the
most malignant conspiracy of all our
p ovincial period, conceived in cold
blood, carried odt with a stony pur-
pose su" h as the Duke of Gloucester or
the Duke of Guise or their followers
could hardly have matched, and this
woman was banished because she did
not like the preaching of dullard nor
the rule Of q uninterrupted justice of
the peace" Cath" an Cincinnati
Enquirer.

The Complexion.

Lotions like pomades should be en-
ployed at night and always moderately.
Lotions may be employed in the morn
ing, especially ii a 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 fresh
ness of complexion is the use of pastes
applied to the face in the form of a
mask during 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 cucumber 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 Eng
lish cosmetic and much priced. 1t is
said to stimulate the growth of the hair
also. A shiny, polished skin is caused
by an excess of fatty secretion beneath
the skin. Soap cannot remove it. A
saturated solution of borax unites with
the minute globules of fat and forms a
soap, thus removing the trouble. The
following is also excellent: Camphor-
water; one quart, glycerine (purel, one
ounce powdered borax, one-half ounce.
Mix and battle the face morning and
night, letting it dry. and remain on for
several minutes, then wash in rain or
filtered water.-DetrOit Free Press.

The strong-willed Woman.

No doubt the men will smile when
they see this heading, and say they dc
not want one of that kind. L think
that before 1 am through they will
have changed their minds, and, if mar.
ried, will compare points in their own
wives with the ideal strong-willed
woman to see if they correspond. The
term strong-willed must not be con.
founded with self-willed; or, again.
strong-willed women are not to be
classed as "bossy." Woman. particu.
larly, more than man, needs strength
of character to help her through the
part she has to play in life. Parents
should take into consideration the ia 4
that girls as well as boys need training
in developing strength of character. II
is as necessary as strength of body.
Yet girls in great many families are
allowed to grow up with the idea that
as long as they are single they can de.

the hard fact remains that in actual
life something more is needed. A
woman need not be less loving or less
womanly TO be strong willed; on the
other hand, she who has developed 9
strong will, will have brought nearer

support. Having never been accustom
ed to doing anything for themselves
