RELIABLE INFORMATION ON MATTERS
PERTAINING TO HEALTH AND
COMPLEXION.

If you do not try to make youself
look as pretty as you can you neglect
one of your duties. 1t is worth while
to make the most of all the good. looks
you possess but that does not mean
that You should revel in powder and
purchased bloom, or spend hours in
frivolous decoration. To have q clear
skin remember that you must have
good health, and to have good health
and rosy complexion You must wear
thick-soled shoes and spend q part of
every day out of doors.
If you use powder Of any kind on
the face never 60 to bed without wash
ing it of. Sanitary reasons as we'll as
cleanliness require this. To keep your
skin from roughening find by trial
what soap suits you best and use no
other. Frequent changes Of soap are
bad for the complexion. Beware of
those which are highly scented; as
general thing they are of poor quality,
the scent being used to destroy the
odor of the other ingredients used.
If you would keep your face and
hands anwrinkled uss tepid water !;
very hot or cold water is injurious.
Also avoid burying the face in soft
pillow at night, which always pro-
duces wrinkles around the eyes.
A wash which removes the sunburn
acquired by outdoor sports is made
by adding to twelve ounces of elder
flower water six drachms of powdered
borax; apply to the skin, it will make
it as clear and soft as q baby's.
Keep your combs and brushes sweet
and clean. Wash them in tepid water
containing few drops of ammonia.
The grease and oil win disappear ~
II by magic. Place the brushes bris-
ties down to dry, and delicate cellu-
loid handles will not be injured. To
perfume your apparel put few drops
ON s.all pieces Of pumnice stone, and
place in drawers and boxes and
among dresses in wardrObes.
By using the following preparation
for cleaning kid gloves, ribbons and
laces you can keep the above mentien-
ed articles in the pink Of perfeetiea"
with little trouble: To two quarts Of
doodorized benzine add two d1achms

ing that if he removed his hand the
snake would sting him to death, he
pressed his arm downward with all
his strength, At the same time reach

fore he could open the knife with his
teeth the snake had wound itself about

Steam at 100 pounds pressure per-

The average temperature in this lati--

pleasantly hot, and from wasted heat

is badly needed for proper purposes.

The Republic of Venice.

Mrs. Williams lecture on the Republic
of Venice last evening drew very fair
audience, and very appreciative one as
well, if we may judge from the burst of
spontaneous applause which followed
the close of the lecture. The hour was
devoted to study of the history of
Venice which was at once thorough and
brilliant. The sources of the Venetian
power, the causes OF her wonderful emf
hence in commerce and in politics, were
carefully considered, and the whole put
before the audience in that vivid, con-
crete way, which alone can clothe alb
stractions with life. The story of Venice
as Mrs. Williams told it, is a very stir
ring one, and we believe there were few
present in whom it did not Waken a re-
spOnsive thrill. 1t is to he regretted that
our space does not permit full ANALYSIS
of the lecture, especially as there was
much in it which suggested an applica-
ton to our own conditions here.
The last lecture of the course follows
on next Tuesday evening. Subject:

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1888-07-18

The most important matter discussed
in the House yesterday was the resolu.
ton to ask the Supreme Court to give
its opinion on certain matters of law.
The questions to be referred are, in a
nutshell, whether any constitutional
difficulties exist in the way of extending
the licensing system, and whether it
would be constitutional to give any Off
Ger an absolute discretion to refuse Ii
censes. The resolution emanated from
the committee to which the Anti-Asiatic
petition was referred, and the object is
to test in advance the constitutionality
of certain Anti-Chinese legislation.
