To obtain beautiful skin one must begin
and diet properly. Butter, fat meat and
greasy food of every kind must not be eaten.
Coffee and tea must be given up, so must
claret and all kinds of wine and milk or
lemonade substituted. Fruits and vegetable,
should be eaten in abundance, rich candies
and cakes avoided, pie never should be
touched. and pickles and acid food generally
should lie dispensed with. A woman who
follows the above rules will find that her
skin will become smooth and clear after
several months have passed OF course, the
dieting must be thorough and careful. No
Improvement can be made unless it is.

One thing is certain, however, milk is always

little browning and freckling is oftentimes
very beneficial, but when the face is exposed
to too great measure of the suns rays the

salt air and sun together are bal for the

The face should always be washed in

water is not good for the complexion,

makes the skin flabby, and In time wrinkles

washing the face AMI hands in. The meal
softens the skin and gives it a delicate flush
which is very becoming. The majority of
women will also find that salt water will

The Havre aquarium has put on exhibit
ton one of the most curious, and especially
one of the rarest of animals-the prehensile
tailed Coendon tSynethere prehensits). 1t
was brought from Venezuela by Mr.. Equi-
dazu, the conmissary of the steamer Colon
bic. Brehm SAYS that never but two have
been seen-one of them at the Hamburg 10
illogical garden and the other at London.
The one under consideration, then, would be
the third specimen that has been brought
alive to Europe. This animal, which is
allied to the porcupines, is about 81 feet
long. The tail alone is / q feet in length.
The entire body, save the belly and paws is
covered with euills, which absolutely hide
the fur. Upon the back, where these quilts
cylindrical, shining, sharp pointed, white at
middle The animal, in addition, has long
and strong moustaches. The paws, anterior
and rosterior, have four fingers armed with
strong nails, which are curved and nearly
cylindrical at the base.
Very little is known about the habits Of
the animal. All that we do know is that it
passes the day in s,umber at the top Of a
tree and that it prowls about at night its
food consisting chiefly Of leaves Of all kinds.
When it wishes to descend from one branch
to another it suspends itself by the tail and
lets go of the first only when it has firm
hold of tn, other. One regularity is that
the extremity of the dorsal part Of the tail
is prehensile. This part is deprived of quilts
for length of about six inches. The
coendou does not like TO be disturbed. When
it does it advances toward the intruder and
endeavors to brighten him by raising its
quilts all over its body. The natives of
Central America eat its flesh and employ its
quilts for various domestic purposes. The
animal is quite extensively distributed
throughout South America. It is found in
Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia Guina and in
some of the Lesser Antilles, such as Trinidad,
Barbados, Saint Lucia, etc. 1t seems to lie
cpossiim and sloth combined.

They are beginning to do so in this country

more than quarter as much in the first
