Good Manners More serviceablc In So
cicty than Bank Account.
Good manners are not so common as to be
of no weight in society, like good spelling or
good English, says Harper's Bazaar. One
may be as rich as the Rothschilds, one may
be highly educated and not possess them, or
one may have them in degree.
Good manners are more serviceable than
n passport, than bank account, or n lineage
They make friends for us; they are more
potent than eloquence and genius without
them. They undoubtedly spring from kind
heart, and arc the dictates of good humor.
They are not something to be learned from
fashion news and books of etiquette; they are
not imported or borrowed. The good man
ncrcd person does not tells us our failings,
docs not lecture us; he does not merely wear
his manners because they are becoming or
polite, but because he can no more exist
without them than without air.
There are those who may be said to have
a positive genius for good manners as an
other has for conversation; they know how
to sway others by them. Polite people have
an influence that is not due to their position
or possessions, to their learning or their wit.
There are those who believe that good man.
ners are only another name for good clothes
and good food and good homes with the
modern conveniences and luxuries, that they
are tallative and emphatic and snowy; but
We do not always find that the best man.
ncred people live in palaces
Good manners are something which no
body can afford to do without, no matter how
rich or powerful or intellectual he may be.
They add TO beauty, they detract from per-
sonal ugliness, they cast a glamor over do
fects, they amellorate the round shoulders Of
this person and the squint Of the other
whore they exist, Imagination supplies def
cicncics Of every other attraction. They arc
contagious, like the measles, but they must
b. moro than skin deep to be Of any service.

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.
Interesting Facts About the SLin--Popu-

Interesting Facts About the Skin-Popu-
lar Remedies and Recipes.
The beauty and health of the body depend
upon the skin; knowledge Of its structure,
functions and the care it requires is there
forc very important Among interesting
sanitary points, DIR. E. G.. Cooke describes as
follows in Demorest, the oil glands and per-
spiratory system.
The oil glands are imbedded in the skin
and open at the end of each hair on the sur
face of the body and supply it with nourish-
ment. 1t is the thickening of the oil in these
glands which forms the little black spots on
the skin, sometimes called worms or grubs.
When irritated by squeezing, these often in
flame and cause chronic roughness Of the
face Washing with very hot water and
pure soap rubbed freely on the parts affected
with these black spots will often cure them.
For the stiff, uncomfortable feeling resulting
from the use of soap, a little oil or vaseline
may be applied afterward. This should be
done at night. Never wash tho face Just be-
fore going out into the cold. Oiling also
prevents chapping.
The perspiratory apparatus is contained in
the third layer, or true skin, and underlies
the coloring matter. It consists Of minute
tubes which pass through the upper layers
and terminate in its deepest meshes. Each
tube forms beautiful spiral coil, and when
arriving at its destination coils upon itself in
such way as to form an oval shaped ball,
called the perspiratory gland. The openings
Of these glands we call pores.
Psychologists say that in an ordinary sized
body there are about 100000 respiratory
tubes, each tube one-fourth of an inch long,
making drainage of nearly twenty-eight
miles. From twenty to forty ounces Of waste
pass through these pores every twenty-four
hours If from cold or neglect these OPEN
ings become INSTRUCTED, the absorbents carry
this poison back into the system for other
organs to eliminate, giving these organs
more than their share of work, and an en-
tire arrangement of the system follows sooner
or later

House Of the Good Samaritan.

A lot on Hill street near Mint has
been purchased, on which the Good
Samaritan Hospital for colored people
will soon be erected. The funds have
been given entirely by members of
the Episcopal Church in Northern
States, and this charity will be under
the care of the Episcopal Church in
Charlotte. Mrs John Wilkes has,
since 1882, been engaged in collecting
money for this purpose. And has
now sufficient to put up the building.
Work on it is only delayed for want
of brick. The lot is now being en-
closed by a fence. The architect
came here from New York to sec
about the building and has prepared
a plan which will be very convenient
besides being an ornament to the
city. When completed, the citizens
here will be asked to aid in its support,
but the money to erect the work will
be raised elsewhere. This will be
an important addition to the comfort Of
the colored people.

First.-Have the room warm, and every
thing at hand which may be needed during
the operation. The baby's basket should be
carefully looked after, and its contents re-
plenished when necessary. Second.-The
water should be Of a pleasing temperature
neither too hot nor too cold-and pitcher Of
hot water at hand TO replenish it as it cools
The cloth used in washing-if q cloth be pre-
ferred-should be fine and soft, that it may
not irritate the tender cuticle. A soft velvet
sponge is much to be preferred, however, and
few will return to the cloth after once trying
its efficacy. In bathing, uncover but small
portion of the body at time, keeping the
remainder wrapped in flannel, soft old
blanket or shawl answering this purpose
nicely. Wash with gentle strokes Of the
sponge, and wipe instantly with a soft towel

When you find soap that is pure and suits
your skin, continue to use it. Frequent
changes are bad for the complexion.
Pimples often arise from washing with
cold water when overheated.
For roughness, caused by exposure to wind,
sponge the face with equal parts of brandy
and rose water.
Ifyou use powder always wash it OFF before
going to bed.
Many persons prefer almond meal or oat-
meal to soap for washing face and hands.

named naval cadets as the result of the
recent ''haZing' cohrt-martial at Annapo-
lis: Richard II. Leigh, Mississippi; Geo,
H. Shepard, Wisconsin; Bion B. Bierer,
Kansas, and Charles W. Lyle.of Virginia,
son of Hugh F. Lyle, Esq, of Staunton.
The offence with which young Lyle was
charged was making freshman chew
tissue paper and stand On his head. The
latter charge was not substantiated and
was denied by Lyle. His standing at the
Academy was among the first in his class
in everyrespect, but as the authorities are
determined to break up the practice OF
''hazing." however trivial the offence in
this respect and however innocent the
motives of those engaged in it, it seemed it
is to be regarded an offence sufficient for
dismissal. We regret the misfortune
that has befaIlen this promising young
man, but are gratifed that it does not in
vove his mental or moral standing or
character, 1t was technical offence
Wlthout Dad motive, but whicn was re-
edgnized as a serious breach Of discipline,
which had to be punished by a seri GUS

household Comfort.

We stepped Into the Tin and Stove estab-
lishment Of +. w. Hager, on Augusta ST.,
to look at a new pattern and new style of
Cook Stove 1t is called the Grand Oil
Stove, and is recommended by Mr.. Hager
as one OF the most convenient and econom-
ical cooking arrangements he has ever han.
died. 1t is heated exclusively by oil, at
a cost Of not over 40 cents week. 1t bakes,
cooks and roasts to perfection. without the
Inconvenience of ashes, smoke, or other
disagreeable attachments of the ordinary
coal or wood stove. It can be lighted and
heated in an instant, and the fire extin-
guished in as short a time, by child of
eight years, 1t can be placed in the back
porch Or yard. during summer, Or used in
the dining room, when it would be conve-
nIeut or desirable to dose. 1t seems to be
complete in every respect, and on the score
of economy and convenience is complete
auecess. 1T iispenses with the dirt and
filth necessarily attendant upon the use OF
coal and God, and answers a better pur-
pose for all the uses of the housekeeper
than any cook stove we have seen. You
don't have to wait for the wood or coal to
be lighted, and the stove to be slowly
heated. 1t is done by oil in shorter time
than it takes to write this paragraph. In
all respects it is just the thing to have in
the kitchen, and especially convenient in
preserving time and in the summer sea-
son. No family should be without one.
Mr.. Hager will not handle any goods il
his line that he is not willing to endorse
and recommend. and hefu lily endorses the
Grand Oil Stove, as the best inventiol
with which he is acquainted.
It cures headache and settles the nerves
to smoke the NIRGINIA SEAL.

Rev. DR.. w. A. Harris had the misfor.
tune to be thrown from his buggy a few
days ago, willie driving out at the White
Sulphur Springs, and narrowly escaped
serious injury. He attempted to drive past
a house on the lawn in which band was
exercising, and the horse taking fright
plunged forward, pitching the doctor out
with his side and back across the fore
wheel, with his feet in the buggy and head
on the hub. In this condition he remained
helpless for half an hour before he could
recover strength to extricate himself, the
horse, in the meantime, standing perfectly
quiet. The doctor, we are gratified tC
learn. has recovered from the shock and is
out again.
