A record kept according to this theory for

wrong, and one third of the time neither
right nor wrong. 1t would be safer to pre-

The afflicted part should be washed

before the on-coming of redness or ten

THE lips, tongue and gums, when dry

A ROse-Jar.

When rose petals or sweet herbs are
not to be had, the following mixture
may be used in scent jar-though it
is chiefly liked for pertaining chests or
linen. Bruise together four ounces
orris root and sweet flag; add three
ounces of sandal wood, one ounce of
cedar, one each of gum benzoin styrax
and nutmeg powdered; half drachm of
essence lemon, twenty drops of oil of
lavender, ten grains each of musk and

bags. A more delicate and delicious
perfume can not be imagined.

Max O'Rell on American Women.

That which struck me most in Amer
lea from first to last is the total absence
of stupid-loOking faces. All are not
handsome, but all are intelligent and
beaming with activity. In my opinion,
it is in this that American beauty
mainly consists. In the large cities of
the East the first thing which caught
my attention was the thnness of the
men and the plumpness of the women.
This seemed to hint that the former
lived in furnace of activity and the
latter in cottonwood. This impression
soon deepened into a conviction. 1t
seemed to me that her lot was as near to
being perfection as an earthly lot could
be. A respect amounting to reverence is
shown for her, and it appears to be the
chief aim of her protectors to surround
her with luxury and make her path
through life sunny one. So far as
adding to her mental and physical
grace goes, this plan of making every
woman an uncrowned queen has an
swered completely. Seeing her high
position, she has set herself to work to
fill it becomingly, and it is the cultiva-
ton of Americas daughters, it is their
charming independence and conscious
ness of their power that make them so
attractive and render American So
ciety so delightful to the stranger. In
their treatment of women the Amer
leans might give more than one lesson
to the men of the Old World, even to
the Frenchman, who, in the matter of
politeness, lives good deal, | am afraid,
on the reputation of his ancestors. The
respect for women in America seemed
to me to be perfectly disinterested,
purely platonic. In France this re-
spect almost always borders on gal
lantry.' A Frenchman will always
stand back to let woman pass, but he
will generally profit by the occasion to
take good look at her. If an outsider
be competent to form an opinion, ven
ture to say that the American woman
does not render to man 1.-THE of the
devotion she receives from him. The
French wife repays husbands devo-
ton by protecting his interest. An
American one too often repays it by
breaking into his capital Forum.

Neatness is good thing for girl,
and if she does not learn it when she is
young, she never will. 1t takes great
deal more neatness to make a girl look
well than it does to make a boy look
passabe. Not because boy, to start
with, is better looking than girl, but
his clothes are of different sort, not
so many colors in them; and people
don't expect a boy to look so pretty as
girl. A girl that is not neatly dressed
is called sloven, and no one likes to
look at her. Her face may be pretty,
and her eyes bright, but if there is
spot of dirt on her cheek, and her fin
gers ends are black with ink, and her
shoes are not laced or buttoned up, and
her apron is dirty, and her collar is not
buttoned, and her skirt is torn, she can
not be liked. / went into little girls
room once, and all her clothes were on
the floor, and her playthings, too. Learn
to be neat, and when you have learned
it, 1t will almost take care of itself

An Incident.

On railway train the writer noticed
the entrance of a mother and little son
who were unexpectedly greeted by a
friend of the mothers. The friend was
only going from one way-station to the
next, while the others were on a long
journey. There happened TO be but
one vacant doubles eat in the car; and
into this the boy slipped, taking the
seat next the window. His mother,
eager to improve the ten minutes with
her friend, asked her son to give up his
seat and take another for that little
time, so that she could sit with her
friend. mo, won't; because / want
to sit by the window, and all the other
seats have people already at the win
dows." But, darling, only for ten
minutes, and then you can sit by the
window all day." "No, / won't 90.
l want to sit by the window no,c."
But, dear, not to give mamma pleas
ure?" " No" Not for just ten lit
tie minutes, when mamma wants so
much to talk to her friend, and you can
sit by the window the whole day long?"
NoP-with impatient empha sis.
And in spite of humble entreaty from
the mother, and good-natured urging
from the friend that home nurtured bit
of selfishness kept his place, the mother
never dreaming of insisting on the
right and courteous thing, but murmur-
ing gently that " Bobby did so enjoy
looking out of the window" When
seven-year-old Bobby becomes Robert
the husband his sad little wife will
wonder, " Why is it that men have so
little tenderness for their wives?"-

Kind-Hearted Monkeys.

In Hindoostan, where three kinds Of
sacred monkeys enjoy the freedom of
every town, these four-handed pen
sioners often help the police to keep
order by charging en- mdSSe for the
scene of every dog-fght and school-boy
scutlle. They will rescue worried cats,
and, for greater security, deposit them
on the next roof, or suppress rowdyism
in general, the stout Rhesus baboon,
for instance, being physically as well as
morally qualified to quell the aggressive
disposition of the fercest cur. On the
platform of public warehouse the
British residents of Agra, a few years
ago, witnessed a scene which put that
character-trait in even a stronger light
A little street Arab had spread his pal
let in the shade of a stack of country
produce, and had just dropped asleep,
when the proprietor of the Planters
Hotel strolled up with a pet leopard
that had learned to accompany him in
all his rambles. A troop of tramp
monkeys had taken post on the oppo-
site end of the shed, and, like the beg
gar boy, seemed to be enjoying COM
Portable nap, but at signt of the
speckled intruder the whole gang
charged along the platform like
squadron of soldiers, and, instantly
forming semi-circle about the little
sleeper, faced the leopard with bristling
names, evidently resolved to keep him
from hurting the little boy.-POpulor

The World Pm Passing Through.

Few in the days of early youth
Trusted like me i'm love and truth.
I've learned sad lessons from the years,
But slowly, and with many tears;
For God made me to kindly view
The world that ! am passing through.
Though kindness and forbearance long
Must meet ingratitude and wrong.
still would bless my fellow-men
And trust them, though deceived again
God help me stlll to kindly view
The world that am passing through.
From all that fate has brought to me
strive to learn humility
And trust In him who rules above,
Whose universal law is love.
Thus only can kindly view
The world that I am passing through.
When approach the setting sun,
And feel my journey well-nigh done,
May Earth be yelled in genial light,
And her last snile to me seem bright.
Help me till then to kindly view
The world that am passing through
And all who tempt a trusting heart
From faith and hope to drift apart
May they themselves be spared the pain
OF losing power to trust again.
God help us all to kindly view
The world that we are passing through.

To CLEAN FUR.-Some rye flour is
put into pot and heated upon a
stove, with constant stirring as long as
the hand can bear the heat. The flour
is then spread over the fur and rubbed
into it. After this the fur is brushed
with a very clean brush; or, better, is
gently beaten until all the flour is re-
moved. The fur thus resumes its nat
ural luster and appears absolutely as if
new.-Ld Science Ilustre.
