warning Against Self cop.oiou.neas.

Self consciousness is probably the
greatest enemy to beauty, either of per-
son or manner, and it is curious it is a
vice flor one really wants to call it that
that American women are mostly affected
by. In them self consciousness usually
arises from a very great desire to please,
which, while c~ommendable, is often just
as nerve exciting as it is to the one CON
cerned. An English woman in her per-
feet certainty that everything is right,
that whatever she does is good form,
gains the quiet of an Attorney COW.
Now, what the American woman wants
to do Is to reach the entire lack of self
consciousness possessed by a well bred
French woman, to gain some of the re-
pcse OF the English woman, and yet to
retain her own special and absolutely in
d~escribable charm. l have seen this
among the young Quakeresses, but ex-
cept among them and in families where
great care was given to the girls, this
case Is seldom seen.-"Bab" in Philadel-
phia Times.

waiting TO BE Eaten.

OF the natives of New Georgia or
Rubiana, Capt. Cheyne AYERS that human
flesh forms their chief article of diet. The
doctor observes: ''1t is difficult to specu-
late on the reflections of the victim, as he
lives from day to day in constant expec-
tation of his fate" There is reason to
believe that this expectation does not
produce h agonizing terror which mo
Europeans under the circumstances
would experience. In the time not very
far distant, when cannibalism prevailed
in New Zealand, it was occasionally, at
all events, the custom of a chief when
starting on a war expedition to take
with him, fastened together, a number
of men whom he already held as cap
tives; these men served as a living
larder. Each of them knew that his
turn to be killed and eaten would come;
nevertheless with the certainty of this
doom before him be partook of each of
his fellows whose death preceded his
own; and Capt. Wilkes, in his account
of his exploring expedition, stated that
King Thekambeau appropriated one OF
the small islands of the Fiji group as a
human preserve. Every man imprisoned
there knew that he would ultimately
serve as a food for his majesty, and such
alike were the loyalty and indifference as
TO death Of these victims that, when
questioned by Capt. Wilkes as to their
feelings on the matter, they expressed a
kind of acquiescence in their fate, and
used words to the effect that it was quite
proper that the king should be thus pro-
vided for.-Westminister Review.

Two colored boys who live on the west

tenn of soliciting business, by which they
hope eventually to ~monopolize the entire

had a circular printed in which they an
nounce that they will call at all private
dwellings for business. This circular has
been sent to every house for a mile
around. They call t the houses for Gus
toners every morning and take away the
boots and return them with a .'patent

eral hundred customers, and as the bust
ness is improving daily they have hired

FOR Freokles and sunbnrn.

Washing the face with acid buttermilk
is a country cosmetic, still in favor for
sunburn, freckles and scaly skin. The
juice pressed from cucumbars is alto
gether preferable, end, though O. old
repute, Is a fashionable London prepara-
ton. The juice of milkweed also is a
proprietary lotion for the face, sold by
modish cosmetic artists abroad. These
vegetable lotions being gummy, protect
ing N defensive, refine the skin, and,
unlike spirituous washes, do not bring
out the hair on the cheeks. A seraglio
secret to take away wrinkles Is to heat an
iron shovel red hot, throw on it a spoon
full " myrrh in powder, and smoke the
face over 1t, covering person and shovel
with a sheet to keep in the fumes. Re
peat this three times, heat the shovel
again. and pour on it two spoonfuls of
white wine, steaming the face with it
three times. This rite is to be repeated
night and morning until the effect Is
gained.
Plantain water is very softening for
the face. But v~aseline rubbed on the
skin of the neck ard face every night
faithfully will keep wrinkles alta distance
for long years beyond their usual appear
ance. 1t should be generously applied,
left for the skin to absorb a few minutes,
and the excess wiped gently off with u
soft cloth. AS vaseline is twenty-five
cents a pound, which lasts a year, this is
the cheapest as well as the safest Coz
metic. This should always be applied
before going into the hot sun, for long
walks OF. rides, as well as domestic work
in heated rooms. The skin must always
be washed clean with warm water and
fine soap, and wen dried before using
any application, and man or woman al
ways wants to go to bed with face and
neck thoroughly and freshly washed.
Sleeping with the imperceptive dust Of
thed day in the skin, clogging and grim
ing, it is q great cause of Wrinkles

cowberls worr on broadway.

An eccentricity of toilet seen in Broad
way, and heard, too, consists of cowbeIls
worn by fashionable women. These Gu
rious adjuncts are shaped like the old
fashioned tinkling bells which were sus-
pended to n cows neck in a herd, SO
that the beasts could be easily found
when they strayed away in the woods,
but they are smaller, being only about
three inches long. The metal is brass,
with embellished surfaces, although in
extreme cases of extravaganza gold may
be used. They dangle at the ends OF
chains from the wearer's belt, and the
clappers tinkle against the inner sides
with more or less noise according to the
gait of the girl. If she treads hard and
fast, there is considerable ringing, but il
she be an easy stopper the sound is only
an occasional clink, something like that
of the brass heels once worn on shoes.
1t is to be hoped that these bells will not
''ring out the old" notions Of modesty.
Or ''ring in the new" M of audacity;
but there probably is no danger of the
style getting into vogue with other than
those who desire to force attention to

o. the fortieth day the baby's head is
shaVed-a ceremony which could scarcely
be performed in our own country, where
thick hair is usually of a later growth.
This operation is considered a very i'm.
portant one, and thirty o forty persons
are witnesses to 1t, for the performance
of certain rites.
The disposal of the first hair is regarded
as a very weighty matter; it must not be
burned nor carelessly thrown away, but
buried, thrown into the sea, or hidden in
some crevice of a wall.
This fortieth day marks a turning point
in the child'st life. Heretofore it has only
been seen by its parents, the slaves on
duty and a few intimate friends of the
family; now, however, it may be seen by
anybody, and is regarded as fairly
launched on the tide of existence
