The very best thing to uss for your face
during the summer weather is the cosmetic
which was known before the days of Cleo
patra; it is called Virginia. Milk, and is made
IN this way: "To quart of rosewater add,
drop by drop, an ounce of tincture of ben.
zoin, stirring it constantly" When you want
to use it throw enough in the hand basin to
make the water the color of skim milk, and
then battle your face thoroughly with it, dab
bling it dry with a soft towel Now don't do
as many others have done and get benzine
1t is tincture of benzoin that you want; and
remember especially during the summer,
that your face is not made of buckrah, but is
a tender skin, and should be wiped after it's
bath with a soft rather than a harsh towel.
If the men of the family, who are so rough
skinned that boards grow on them like weeds
In flower garden, like these broom like
cloths, let them have the exclusive use of
them. If your skin is harsh and dry, use
wine glass full of glycerine in a warm bath;
according to noted beauty a few baths of
this sort ought to make the skin soft and
white.-Belus Babble in Sunny South.

A Ruffian Silenced by a Woman.

An incident occurred on an afternoon train
on the Consolidated road the other day that
ought to have found its way into print be-
fore this. 1t has numerous lessons. Among
the passengers were three sweet and quiet
Sisters of Charity in their characteristic dress
A drunken man, very drunk and annoying,
entered the car and sat down beside one OF
them. He talked persistently, drank from a
big bottle that he carried, and finally stuck
mis- disagreeable face repeatedly into the big
bonnet of the sister in most insulting way.
She was evidently much frightened. The
conductor had already been told of the mans
conduct, but did nothing. The other passen-
gers, in true passenger fashion, sat and looked
on. No man stirred
Finally a woman, white as a sheet, and full
of suppressed indignation, got up from her
seat and went to the rescue. She grabbed
the fellows bottle, wrested it from his hands
and flung it out of the window, and size took
hold Of him and, after lively and unassisted
struggle, got him out of the seat. I'm no
Roman Catholic" she said e1citedly to the
spectators, ''but can't sit still and see Sis.
ter Of Charity insulted. "-Har+ford Courant.

Old Fashioned Dou,

An energetic woman is never at loss for
a means of livelihood when thrown upon her
own resources Hundreds of women in this
city are engaged in business, and many Of
them are in direct and successful competition
with men. Female breadwinners of orig
inality have developed for themselves new
fields of labor and they usually make them
pay. One bright woman, who was left des-
titute by the death of her husband with sew
eral small children dependent upon her, re-
membered, after trying to decide what to do.
that she possessed receipt that had been
handed down to her from an old fashioned
New England ancestor for making a superior
quality of doughnuts. She interviewed q
prominent grocer and made proposition to
him to sell the product of her housewifely
skill The result was that a few days later
the grocer's front window was filled with q
batch of the crisp brown pastry and sign
informed the passer by that the old fash
toned doughnuts could be purchased within
for fifteen cents dozen. The first day there
were purchased enough to exhaust the sup
ply, and since that time the doughnut trade
has steadily increased until today several
cooks, under the little woman's superintend-
ence, are kept constantly busy, and her in
come from the doughnut industry averages

IngrOwing Nails,

Various remedies have been proposed, but
probably nothing equals the application of
carbolic acid. Brush the acid lightly over
the inhamed surface and allow it to penetrate
under the skin. In twenty-four hours it will
be found that the nail is partly softened and
can be removed without pain, while the acid
has acted as a complete anRSthetic to the
tender, indamed tissue Applied in the same
way TO a spran or a bruise, in which the
skin is unbrokeu, It affords instant relief

TO A SEA NEW.

Our dreams have wings that falter;
Our hearts bear hopes that die;
For thee no dream could better
A life no fears may fetter,
A pride no care can alter,
That wots not whence or why;
Our dreams have wings that falter,
Our hearts bear hopes that die.
With joy more fierce and sweeter
Than joys we deem divine,
Their lives, by time untarnished,
Art grit about and garnished,
Who match the waves full meter
And drink the winds wild wine
With joy more fierce and sweeter
Than joys we deem divine.
All, well were forever,
Wouldst thou change lives with me,
And take my souls wild honey
And give me back thy sunny
Wide eyes that weary never,
And wings that search the sea?
All, well were l forever,
Wouldst thou change lives with me'

IN ESGINEER's IGNORANCE.

Every effort is made, said a railroad
officer in q recent conversation, to pro.
cure trustworthy, faithful employees,
but all kinds Of receptions are gotten
up to throw us off. I have one case in
mind. There>is a rule on the road fol
which I labor which compels not only
the conductor but the engineer to sign
the receipts of all train orders. When
my superintendent took charge he in:
sisted upon having that rule adhered to,
and in that way he ascertained that
there was one engineer in the employ
of the company who could neither read
nor write, and he had been running al
engine for fifteen years. Had an acct.
dent happened to his train, in which
accident persons were injured, and in
consequence of such injuries an investi-
cation had been ordered, and the fact
of the engineers ignorance Eeen estab.
lished. we could not have saved our.
selves in a suit for heavy damages, and
beside that, would have been fined
heavily for allowing such a state OF
things.
His cunning came into play. He was
q married man and his wife had been a
school-teacher, and through her efforts
he had been able to commit to memory
the rules as printed On the time-cards.
and he had them so thoroughly fixed in
his mind that he could point them
out on the card, but he was just as lia-
BILE to do so with the card bottom-side
up as in any shape. He vas a good en-
gineer, but we had to let him 60. He
went home very much charinged, but
he went to work to learn to read and
write. He spent II whole winter at
it, but he was too far along in years to
be successful, and finally was obliged
to give it up, and to-day he is firing OF
the road.

THE STRANGERS OPPORTUNITY.

The late Judge Walker, of Aurora,
Ind, was, it is said, the personitication
of pomposity. He was proud of him
self, of his family, and of all his posses
sions. Illustrative of this trait of char
acter a story is told Of the old Judge.
Shortly before his death he built a
SPLENDID mansion on the high hill back
of Aurora. Judge Walker was inordi-
nately proud of this house, which could
be seer for miles up and down the
river. One day he was returning home
by steamer from Cincinnati. Judge
Walker no sooner caught sight Of his
residence than his whole attention was
fixed upon it. He wondered if every
one else appreciated the beauty and
striking location of the house. Finally
he walked up to a stranger and said: II
beg pardon, but-ah-ah-can you tell
me who is the owner of that-an-pala-
tial and beautiful mansion on the HILL"
"Yes, sir,' replied the stranger
promptly, shat old barn belongs to
Judge Walker, the biggest fool in In
diana, although he thinks himself a
sage"
The Judges curiosity was entirely
satisfied. The stranger knew him.

HE COULD NOT SEE THE JOKE.

(which would you rather have" said
Jones to Brown, "a five-pound note, or
five sovereigns?"
Seems to me there was nc differ
ence," was the reply.
"Oh, yes there is! I'd sooner have
the note, for when you put it in your
pocket you double it, and when you take
it out you will lind it IN c~reases!"
Brown was so licked with the riddle,
that he went into his club and promptly
asked it to the first man he came across.
"Give it up" said the latter, hope
lessly.
"Why, the note, of course, for when
you put it in your pocket you fold it in
half, and when you take it out you find
it all crumpled-ha, hal!
But his friend looked more hopeless
than before, and to this day Brown
can't make out why he did not see the
joke-Pick-Me-Up.

Very Risky INDIAN.

To tamper with symptoms indicative Of grow
Ing kidney disorder; to neglect for a brief time
needful stimulation of the renal organs when
their inactivity points, as it always and unmis-
takably does, to their eventual permanent dis
ease, is certainly very risky indeed. This is,
however, a risk that many persons perceptibly
drifting into Bright's disease, diabetes, catarrh
Of the bladder, etc., constantly incur. To those
who read, reflect and heed the lessons Of record
cd experience, the advisability of using Hostel

generally admitted by the medical profession
and the public than its efficacy for the preven-

neys when inactive. The Bitters subdues ma
