BEAUTY PRESERVERS.
What Some Society Ladies Drink
Before RreakfasI.

1t is stated that a well-knOwn society
woman of Baltimore, who preserved her
beauty and freshness remarkably wen des-
pite her many seasons pursuit of excite
ment in the social whirl, attributes her good
fortune to the practice of drinking small
cup of luke-warm water every day on leav-
ing her couch, says the News of that city.
So strong is her faith in the efficacy of this
remedy that its omission is sure to cause de-
preston and languor.
In speaking of this a few DAYS ago a we'll
known matron of Baltimore said: II have
known many ladies to be equally devoted to
some article which could not possibly have
benefited them except through their imagi-
nation. One lady l know of has a glass of
toast water placed beside her bed by her
maid every morning. Another uses a half
teaspoonful of tincture of cinchona i'm COB
let Of water; still another takes pinch of
table salt into her mouth before leaving her
bed.
Lots Of ladies resort to such common ar
ticles as oranges and lemons, and Apollin-
arts water, or to cool plunge baths, but the
most singular freak ever heard of was
that of Philadelphia belle who every
morning regularly gargled her throat with
soapsuds made of white CASTLE soap. which
she believed was absolutely necessary to
the preservation of her health"

GIRLS WITH GRIT.
EnteTPrisiuE American Feminine
Farmers in Dakota.


The American woman has not only rights
but she takes advantage of them in very
sensible way. She has the right to take
up presumption or tree claim in Dakota,
for instance, and about three hundred
women have improved their opportunities
i'm this way. These tree-claims can be
proved up''in from eight to thirteen years,
when they will have largely increased in
value. \ woman must be 81 and unmar-
ried TO exercise the privilege of taking up
land. But she may take up claim and
then marry. and 1t is still hers. A number
have done 50, and there are cases on record
where betrUthed couples from the East
have first occupied separate claims and
then married and settled down on their $50
acres. IL being the custom of the man to
lake up either a homestead or presumption
and tree claim at the same time.
Some of these enterprising women pion-
GERS have shown their ingenuity by living
in one house, and yet complying with the
law that each shall reside on her claim for
six months. -Four of them took up a sec
ton of $40 acres, and built cabin contain
ing four corner rooms. The center of the
house was over the point where the quarter
sections met, and each woman lived in the
room located on her 100 acres. The plan

THE SONG OF THE SEA WIND.

How ii sings, sings, sings,
Blowing sharply from the sea-line.
With au edge of salt that stings;
How it laughs aloud, and passes,
AS it cuts the close cliff grasses;
How il sings again, and whistles
AS il shakes the stout sea-thistles-
How it sings!
How it shrieks, shrieks, shrieks
In the crannies of the headland,
In the gashes of the creeks;
How il shrieks once more. and catches
Up the yellow foam in patches:
How it whirls it out and over
To the corn-feld and the clover
How il shrieks
How 1t roars, roars, roars
In the iron unuer-cGverns,
In the hollows of the shores:
How it roars anew, and thunders,
As the suong hull splits and sunders;
And the spent ship. tempest driven,
On the reef lies rent and riVen-
How it roars
How il walls, walls, walls
In the tangle of the wreckage,
In the tapping of the sails,

Like the tired child after Gliding;
And across the grOund-swcll rolling,
You can hear the bell-buoy ,olling-

One step at time, and that well placed,
We reach the grandest height;
One stroke at a time, earths hidden stores
Will slowly come TO light;
One seed at time, and the forest grows;
One drop at time, and the river flows
Into the boundless sea.
One word at q time, and the greatest book
Is written and Is read;
One stone at a time, and palace rears
Aloft its stately head;
One blow at time, and the trees cleft
through,
And a city will stand where the forest grew
few short years before.
One foe at q time, and he subdued,
And the conflict will be won;
One grain at time, and the sand of life

One minute, another, the hours fiy:
One day at a time, and our lives speed nv
