How to Preserve Personal Beauty.

An old physician AYERS "that the
two greatest destroyers of complexion
are air and SOAP" There is too little
fresh air properly breathed, and too
much soap. The respiration has much
to do with the dullness or brightness
of complexion.
You may notice any lady who takes
short, quick breaths, and she will be
slightly stopped and have whitish
leaden color about her face. Such
women soon go into consumption or
contract some other lung disease.
The habit is. generally contracted in
school from leaning over the desk,
and to our mind the danger from
this is greater than from curvature of
the spine. n grgr grfs
Another thing is too free use of
soap. You never heard of skin dis
ease among any savage tribes who
were at all clearly, like the Indians
and the New Zealanders. This we
attribute as much to their not using
soap as to their outdoor exercise. If
the ladies could be induced to discard
it from their toilets and supply its
place with ammonia finer and clearer
compilations would be the result.
A little ammonia in the water is
quite as effectual as soap, and has not
the injurious effect as the latter. At
ter the additions an exceedingly
fresh, soft appearance may be given
by an application of oatmeal. If the
oatmeal is moistened and left to dry
upon the face, and then busted of
with soft wooden cloth, the Skin
will have much more delicate anC
natural-looking bloom than can bt
given by the most highly-priced cos
metic.
Now that it is fashionable to b,
healthy, every lady shouldmore thai
ever seek for those aids which vii
improve herself physically. So mucl
has been said about the efficacy o
cold water that thousands have mad
a too lavish use of it, thereby SOWING
the seeds of disease.
Although bath should Away
feel cool to the body, it should neve
feel cold. A cold bath is "a powerful
stimulant, and like other stimulants
should be used sparingly. From
eighty to ninety degrees Fahrenhei
is about the right temperature for
bath. Very coarse towels or brushe
should never be applied to health
skin. Although the towelsshould b
moderately COARSE, the friction shoul
be given by the hands. A spong
bath every morning, according
these directions, will much improy
the health. Instead of feeling
lasitude there will be one of quicl
ened vitality, and the good lool
will be naturally increased.

A Most Remarkable Case.

During the summer of 1884, suffer-
ing from blood poisoning, the result |
of a gunshot wound received during
the 'late unpleasantness," my atten-
ton was called to the. remedy of S. S.
S. through the public press, and I
wrote to the proprietors of that medi-
cine, describing my case, which / re-
peat for the benefit of other sufferers.
The ball struck the elbow joint and
went through. 1t completely crushed
the articulative surface of the humer-
al so that both condyles and say four
inches of the shaft of the bone were
removed by the surgeon. 1t also
severed ulnar nerve. The operation
left the arm much shorter and timber,
but it is very useful. Sometime in
the fall, of 1879 it commenced to swell
and infiame below the elbow, and
soon after it suppurated and dis
charged horribly offensive matter.
The bone spread until the entire fore

How Were They Built?

Men who are most familiar with
steam power and modern machinery
are puzzled to explain how the great
structures of the ancient world were
erected. Builders say that no modern
contractor could erect the great pyra-
mid in Egypt, and lift the gigantic
stones at the summit to the height of
four hundred and fifty feet. A recent
visitor to Baalbec, and the ruins of
the great temple of Baal, doubts if
any modern architect could rebuild
the temple in its ancient grandeur.
Three huge stones, sixty-four feet
long, thirteen wide, stand in the wall
at the height of twenty feet. Nine
other stones, thirty feet long, ten
high, and ten wide, are joined togeth-
er with such nicely that a trained
eye cannot discover the line of struc.
ture. A column still stands in the
quarry, mile distant, which is COM
plete, with the exception that it is
not defaced at the bottom. 1t is
sixty-nine feet long, seventeen high
and fourteen broad, and one canno
understand how it can be separated
at the bottom from the quarry with
out breaking. The ruins of this vas
temple inspire respect for the genius
of former years.

An Heroic Engineer Saved the Baby,

The Pittsburg, Cincinnati and st.
Louis Railroad fast express train was
speeding through Pendleton about II
o'clock a. m. Friday, when to the
horror of the engineer and the per-
sons along the line, a little eighteen
months-old child crept upon the track.
No one could reach it in time, appar-
emily, to snatch it from death. The
engineer, John Sheridan, threw open
the throttle, reversed the engine and
applied the air brakes, but the train,
though it slowed up, could not be
stopped in time to save the child's
life. 1t was evident there was only
one chance left, and the engineer
jumped from the engine just before it
reached the little one and snatched it
from the wheels unhurt. The engine
passed over the spot some distance be-
fore it came to o stand. Placing the
child at safe distance from the track,
Sheridan quickly mounted his engine
and came into the city and said moth.
ing of his adventure. Passengers on
the train told the story.

How President Cleveland and His Party Spent
the Hours of the Day and Night.

PROSPECT HOUSE. ADIRoNDACKs, N Y, Aug.
2.-The guides labored an hour, to-day, in get
ting the steam launch Nellie off a sand bar.
Everybody wondered why there was such a
general laugh when some one in President
Clevelands party suggested that an item for the
improvement of Upper Saranac lake must GER
tainly be inserted in the next river and harbor
bill. The launch is the. property of Mr.. Watts
Cook, of Paterson, NJ j., the contractor
who will build the new Harlem river
bridge. When he left the Adiron-
dacks, this week, Mr. Cook gave the
boat in charge of Capt. D. w. Riddle and told
him to place it at the disposal of the presiden-
tial party whenever they desired to run down
the lake. The two guides brought it alongside
the wharf this morning, and having got up
steam they attempted to get back over the bar
into deep water, an attempt which brought all
the guests of the Saranac Inn to the spot, full
of sympathy and advice A group of children
suspended their efforts at catching minnows
with the aid of bent pins to watch the scene.
A great laugh went up when the dog Jack was
discovered stea!thily devouring the last piece
of meat in their bait-box. The young fishermen
seized the rascal, and as punishment, dumped
him overheard and compelled HIM to swim for
the shore. When the launch was once more in
free water small boat conveyed the Presidents
party aboard, and their trip began down the
lake The launch is just large enough for five
passengers. and two guides, one whom acts as
engineer and the other as fireman and pilot. The
trolling lines and a Winchester rife were car
ried along, but they did little service so much
more enjoyable than fishing or shooting was
the sail among the islands. The lunch was
served at the lower end of the lake, eight miles
distant, and the excursionists returned at
o'clock, after thoroughly enjoyable day. To
night german is in progress in the parlors of
Saranca Inn, under the management of Miss
Jeanette Cutter, of Boston; Miss Henrietta
town, Pa, and Capt. ]. B. Curtis, of Indianapo-
lis. The committee waited upon Mrs Cleveland
at the log cabin and invited her to be present an
invitation which she promptly accepted The
services tomorrow, and the Presidents party
will probably attend.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
PITTsBURG, Pa, Aug 81. Senator Blackburn
in interview yesterday said: 'If Tilden had
put a card in the New York papers declaring
himself President and affirming his intention to
maintain his rights, the opposition would have
melted away and Hayes would never have en-
tered the White House. Tilden constantly sent
emissaries to myself and other opponents of the
electoral bill, begging US to desist, as he had
the strongest case Jerry Black aptly said. after
the appointment of the Commission: we have
the case but they have the court and, upon the
whole, would rather have their chances than
ours Had the electoral bill failed there would
have been no blood shed; that was what was
fighting for, but Randall lost his head, and by
an arbitrary ruling let the bill 20 through"
