A Caution About BenZine.

According to The American Review, it is
q little known fact that hard friction can de-
velop sufficient heat to inhame benzine va
por, especially if the surface rubbed be var
Iished with shellac. The information is also
given by competent and truthful mechani-
cal engineer that the head of soldering
iron," which it is well known is far below
tired heat" had, in his own experience, been
sufficient to set fire to an escape Of benzine

Fine Lines and Wrinkles on the Face.

DR.. Anna Kingsford suspects that in many
cases fine lines and wrinkles of the skin are
mainly due to habitual use Of hard water
for toilet purposes. She advises ladies who
value their good looks to use distilled water,
which may be bought at any drug store, if
naturally soft water cannot be had. More
harm is done to the skin by the use of hard
water and strongly alkaline soap than can be
easily told

Sage Leaf Dentifrice.

A leaf of pure, simple sage is the best tooth
brush and preserver that nature has given to
man, says writer in Dress.
Keep a sage plant in your dressing room
or branch of it on your dressing table, if
you have not gaRden from which to pluoie
it ad lib. You may use the sage leaf fresh
or dry, it is immaterial how you use it, so
long as you use it some way every day
The water with which you rinse the mouth
during and after the sage leaf friction should
be just tepid, and drop or two of myrrh
may be added to the water, as this helps to
strengthen the gums and imparts pleasant
odor to the breath

To prevent undue perspiration of the head
and to strengthen the hair and promote its
growth, bay rum and quinine in the proper
ton of one pint of rum and one dram Of
uuinine well rubbed into the roots, once a
week, is excellent.
Among useful remedies for removing dan
druff is soap bark. A lather is made with the
soap bark and water and the scalp cleansed
with it. The yelk of an egg well worked into
the scalp, a little at time with the fingers,
and then washed with water, is favorite
use and quite efficient, is little gum cam

About three weeks ago, Miss
Fanny Bradsher, daughter of Mr..
Benjamin Bradsher, of this neigh
borhood, went with o servant,
young colored girl, to a field near
her fathers house to gather some
snap beans, and while engaged ic
the work, the two being near to-
gether, a dove flew over the head OF
the colored girl and alighted on the
head Of Miss Fannie. After some
little effort, she rid hrself of the
bird, and both the girls being much
excited, fastened to the house and
told the family OF the incident, q,
which all wondered. That evening
the colored girl went TO her grand.
fathers, complained Of being i'll, and
Notwithstanding good medical atten'
ton, she grew worse, and in ter
days died. Miss Fannie, a day OF
two after the contact with the bird
also became sick, though she suffer
ed no pain. Dr.. Thompson, Of Leas
burg, was called in and gave the
case special attention, but her ail
ment bafled his skill, and she con
,inued to grow more seriously i'll
and on last Friday evening died
She was, during the latter part o
her sickness, almost continuously de
I%lrious, frequently abiding to tn,
dove and often enquiring for ,h'
colored girl, asking if she had ye
got home.
Miss Fannie's death is a sad be
reavement to Der family aud on
neighborhood. She was q beautiful
and cconplished young lady, jus
entering her nineteenth year.
