How Beauty Is Preserved.

It is stated that a well-known society
woman Of Baltimore, who preserves her
beauty and freshness remarkably we'll,
despite her many seasons pursuit of eX-
citemcnt in the social whirl, attributes
her good fortune to the practice of drink
ing a small cup Of lukcwarm water every
day on leaving her couch. SO strong is
her faith in the efficacy of this remedy
that its omission is sure to cause depres-
sion and languor.
In speaking of this a few days ago a
well-known matron of Baltimore said:
Il have known many ladies to be equally
devoted to some articles which could not
possibly have benefited them except
through their imagination. One lady |
know has a glass of toast water placed
beside her bed by her maid every morn
ing. Another uses Il tablespoonful of
;%incturc of cinchoRa in a goblet of water;
still another takes u pinch of table salt
into her mouth before leaving her bed.
Lots of ladies resort to such common
articles as oranges and lemons and Apol-
sinariS water, or to cool plunge baths,
but the most singular freak ever heard
of was that Of a Philadelphia belle who
every morning regularly garclcd hcl
throat with soapSuds made of white cas-
tile soap, which she believed was abso.
lutely necessary to the preservation Of hel
health. "-Bditimorf -Ncr&.

Neglected Animals that Grow Wild and

imyvortance,in this Territory, says a Fort
Eeegh Montana) correspondent. VAST
ranges are now devoted to their breeding
exclusively. The horses run wild In great
herds, winter and summer, just rs do the
cattle. But for these horse ranches the
stock men would find great difficulty to
control their cattle. The horses "rc
larger and much better than the Texan
ponies. They arc usually bred from
Indian pony mares and Kentucky stall
lions. Most Of the horse ranges are in
the mountains or foothills. Mining cx-
elements and other causcs often causc
hcrdcrs to neglect their horses and they
become wild. Their superior intellect to
other animals when partly bred to good
stock, their faculties Of hearing, seeing
and smelling, coupled with their feet
ness and courage and their ability to
stand DAYS and weeks Of running, make
them the most difficult to capture.
Confirming themselves almost entirely te
the inaccessible mountains, only coming
down to water once IA day, makes it al
most impossible to follow, much less
capture them, and when a band or a por-
ton Of n band goes wild 1t is rarely in
these DAYS that the owner ever tries tn
rccapturc them, knowing full we'll
that it nearly takes horse for horse
in the business, and the wild
horse once captured has been SO run
down and abused to bring him into
snbjcction that they are hardly worth
thc success.
With the wild horses a stallion is at
the head, and is the leader of every herd,
having such full control over them that
no band Of cowboys are able to drive a
band Of horses 50 fast or we'll as a stall
lion can. All in the band are so thor
oughly afraid of him they keep in a
bunch, and their speed is gaugcd by his
