Big Men.

Don't think that because a man happens to
be big and brawny and healthy he has no
feelings. Such men are sometimes regarded
as if made of door hinges and leviathan hide,
and sash cords for nerves 1t may be a mis-
take. There are men whose spiritual and
physical make up is after this fashion, and
some of them are big men. But the big
men are not all so. There are some who
are as tender as girls-as sensitive as the
mimosa, and as quick TO receive an impression
as the down covered skin of a ripe peach. 1t
is worth while to be gentle with such men.
Kindness is not thrown away on them. They
may be growing old, but as they advance
they retain much of the boyish feeling they
had when they weighed fewer pounds than
they do now. If they are not trodden upon
they may make happy old men when they
are little further on in years. But it is
easy to sour them and crush them and make
them disagreeable. Don't do it. Few people
ever think of big man as one who has any
feelings worth considering, and yet many
are as tender hearted as babes-Woman's

Take frequent recreation.
Preserve the feelings and habits of youth
Keep free of intense excitements
Keep a clear conscience, and lead life
void of offense.
Insist upon an abundance of regular sleep.
Avoid excuses of all kinds, whether of
work, pleasure, eating or drinking.
A man cannot long keep young who gives
up all the active, health giving exercises of
youth.
1t is the intense excitement, the excitement
of social life, the ball room, the theatre, and
the various forms of fashionable dissipation,
that make our American girls fade SO rap
idly.-True Flag.

MYSTERIES of the Toilet.

A softly shaded room, Oriental perfumes, a
vevety carpet shelves covered with dainty
boxes and bottles of all sizes, and delicate
faced lady in black with lace hood worn in
a picturesque style round her face. This is

B., in Bond street, London. Nine du B

ribbon of the Legion of Honor since the
founding of that order. Under the First
Empire but two women received it and both
for military achievements. One, Virginie

strong enough to endure the fatigue Of a

colonel from the enemy. Up to 1851 but four
women had received the decoration. One of
the next to be accorded the honor was Rosa

A Hermit's Legacy to Needy Women.

l.. B. Eaton, very ecosntric man, died at
his home near Fren ont, Steuben county. He
settled in that county in 1887, and by tia
closest economy in living the life of a hermit
succeeded in acquiring over 900 acres of
good land and much other property. His
strange will is in keeping with the oddities of
his life dis land is to be divided into lots of
ten acres, and ON each lot there is to be
erected cottage. These cottages are in
tended for homes of friendless women of good
character over b years of age. The county
commissioners are named as trustees, and in
case they do not wish to serve, the court is
authorized 10 appoint an executor, who must
serve without compensation. She money ac-
qpired from sales of other property after
btilding the houses is to be held in trust for
the support of the good women.-Indiana-
