Care Of the Hands.

A woman, whose pretty hands are being ruined by washing in hard water, writes to ask remedy.
 Water can be easily softened by few drops of ammonia, or what is better, Q small piece of lump borax. Warm water, into which enough borax has been dissolved to make the water feel 6 little slippery when pressed between the thumb and finger, is very good for washing the hands.
 Hands kept dirty arc never smooth and white. Absolute cleanliness Is ne- essary.
 Many people who do not work wash leir hands but seldom. The days ac- elmulation of dirt is allowed to remain n the hands all night. Upon rising. .ne hands are washed in cold water.
 The possessor wonders why, when she does no work, her hands do not look any better, If as we'll as her chambermaid's.
 .The hands should always be washed in warm soapsuds before going to bed. Whitessoaps are safest. Highly scented and colored soaps are almost invariably made from rancid and ill-smelllng fats.
 After the hands are thoroughly dried, use few drops from bottle of mixed glycerine and camphor, which your druggist can prepare for you. Drop into the palm of the hands and rub on the hands.
 This will be all that will be necessary to show @ decided improvemert--lTke Republic. S

A Marriage Mar. in RoumAnlA,

A remarkable custom exists among the Roumanians living in the westerly Carpa- thians. Every year, at the Feast of the Apostles Peter and Paul, market is held on the crest of the Gaina, from 5000 to 5000 feet above the level of the sea, and here all tn, marriageable girls of the entire district assemble with their parents in order to be viewed and claimed.
 Mothers, aunts, grandmothers, and various other female friends contribute 70 the dowry, and this completed, it is
 irried to the market on the Gaina in
 eatly made trunks, decorated with .owers and carried by the family's best horses. Cattle, bees, and other house. hold requisites are also added to the dowIy.
 On the Gaina every family which has marriageable daughter occupies dis tinct tent, in which tho dowry is ex- hibited, and in which the bride-viewers are expected.
 The bachelors, too, are accompanied by parents or relatives, in whose con- pany they inspect she girls who are ligible. The young men bring tho besi
 eypossess, and each must particularly Jlne with girdle of gold or silver.
 After tho brides arc chosen the public
 trothal takes place, being conducted n- a hermit who lives in this lonely spot. Tho mark of betrothal is not O ring, but beautifully embroidered handker- chief. The betrothal is in many cases pre-arranged, but the ceremony must be zone through all the same.
 If girl goes to the market knowing beforehand that an admirer will be there to claim her, so much the better for her. Still she must take her dowry and oc. cupy her tent and place herself on view like the rest.
