A German lady who recently was admitted
INTO tho presence of the khedi res wife de.
scribes her in The Vienna Neue Freio Presse
as follows: "She is still young, at most "a to
~ years old, and has an extremely charming
face. Her whole appearance would be be-
witching were she not an Oriental, and there
fore, young rs she is, already too stout to be
perfectly beautiful, according to European
notions. She has large dark eyes, with long,
heavy eyelashes, dazzling complexion-to
which art has contributed nothing-and the
loveliest little mouth and teeth Her neck
and arms, as well as her small fat hands,
ghttered with diamonds, and her dark, fash
ionably arranged hair was encircled with
wreaths OF precious stones, ana yet somehow
her toilet seemed not overladen. On the left
side of her white surah dress whose long
trail was completely covered with rich lace,
she wore broche of fresh orange leaves and
white roses, and below it a miniature of the

The most important point to get the
value of your money Is not to be induced
to enter the small stores to limit your
buying to the dry goods stores of the
Louvre and Bon Marche, for they keep al
most everything that woman can think
Of The price is marked on each article
and always put at the lowest rate. Al
most everything lies on counters and
tables, so you do not have the worry of
asking for things. You are not bothered
with officious clerks who try to persuade
you to get one thing when you want an
other. When you have received the goods
ut home, and after having examined them,
no matter after what length of time you
change your mind you can return the
goods and without the asking of oneques-
ton those stores refund you the money.
No matter If the goods have been cut in
the store, so 1t has not been touched or
cut by you or been worn, the money is i'm
mediately handed back to you, while in
small stores you are sure to be imposed
upon. Those sEopkeepers have two prices,
one for their own countrymen and one for
foreigners, especially for Americans. They
imagine that every American possesses /
chicken that lays golden eggs, aud that
they are entitled to as many of them a.
they can rob from the nest In their peck
cts. Beware Of being cheated, so go t.
the Louvre or Bon Marche for all yol,
want.--Paris Cor Brooklyn Eagle.

Dom Pedro ana His liver.

The emperor of Brazil has come over
here chiefly for the sake of his health.
His liver is ailing terribly. AS result
he has no appetite, and his digestion Is
faulty. He has had his blood analysed
by Dr. Henoques, the specialist, who tells
him frankly that he is in bad way. Not
only is his liver out of order, but his kid
neys also, and at his age there is not
much chance of curing him, though the
maladies may be held in check. Dom
Pedro is only 90 years old, although he
has been emperor fifty-six years, and is
in length Of reign the senior sovereign OF
the world. But he was born and has al
ways lived In part of the world where
people grow old quickly. At 02 he is
really older than an Englishman at ~.
DR.. Henoques asked him what was his
favorite drink. Dom Pedro replied that
1t was the juice of oranges and lemons,
iced, and favored with Jamaica rum.
Better give 1t up" said DR.. Henoques
II can't" said Dom Pedro, land you
wouldn't advise me to if you knew how
good it is. ~ The emperor thinks he has
done we'll in living SO long in tropical
climate without falling prey to the dis
enses that run riot there, He has never
had yellow fever or cholera, though many
inmates Of his palace have been stricken
down by them. Indeed he has not had
any serious illness In his life, and his
present complaints are only the natural
and inevitable Accomplishments Of old age
In his native climate. Paris Cor, Chicago

Pimples and blackheatss on the face are &C.
casioned says Herald of Health, by the
torpid state of the skin; or, in other words,
by tho inability Of the skin to perform its
proper functions Tho cause Of these spots
is nothing more or less than an obstruction
of tho pores of tho skin; tho perspiration
being allowed to accumulate, the mouths Of
the pores getting clogged, irritation ensucs
and pimple or black head results. The
only way TO be rid of them is to allow the
skin to do its own work, by preserving it in a
healthy condition and by keeping the whole
system in order. Tho following ointment is
recommended: Take ali ounce of barley meal
the finer tho better, ono ounce of powdered
bitter almonds and sufficient quantity Of
honey to mako a smooth paste, and apply

some interesting literature ON the subject OF

the causes Of tho semi -invalidism and increas-
ing number of nervous diseases that exist
a.-ong even young girls, it enumerates the
following:
l. Social dissipation and excitement 2,
Habitual loss of sufficient and healthy sleep.
8. Irregularity and haste in taking food, the
omission of breakfast and the use of stimu-
hitting, innutritious diet, such as condiments,
pastry, etc A. Tight, heavy or insufficient
clothing. 5. The ambition of parents and
daughters to accomplish much in little time
1t states that inquiries made in school
rooms revealed great neglect of the laws OF
health on the part of the pupils. In New
York academy class of sixty girls between
the ages of ~ and Is years CHANGED to be
asked by a visitor ct what time they retired
the night before. Tho Average was found to
be twenty minutes before midnight, but no

eaten no breakfast; of these twelve, six had
brought no luncheon, the other six had cake,
pie or similar indigestible food.

The Equatorial Telescope.

An equatorial telescope is telescope
mounted upon fixed axis parallel to the axis
of the earth, and turning also upon second
movable axis parallel to the equator, for the
continuous observation of heavenly bodies,
and for noting their right ascension and de-
clension. The motion of the telescope around
its fixed or polar axis is necessarily parallel
to the equator, and this gives the instrument
its name. In order to maintain the Object
observed steadily in the field OF view, tho
telescope is made to revolve around inc
polar axis by an attached clockwork, which
admits of regulating so as to vary the veloci-
ty of rotation according as the object under
examination is the sun, the moon, planes
or fixed star.

According to the Darwinian theory when
ever any body of animals becomes too nu-
merous H. e., when they threaten the extinc-
ton of some other species Of animal) they
are destroyed by the workings of law called
natural selection. By this law the fittest sur
vive and the weak perish. This law being in
operation, an infinite period of time has
evolved from the lowest forms of animal Life
the highly organized and intelligent animal
known as man. This process of evolution,
according to the theory, is still going on con-
tinually and will finally develop men in the
