physicians oppose the use OF colo
water and advise hot water.
81 must say am much opposed to
heat in any form for the face" says
lady who has made dermatology a
study, and who has a most beautiful
complexion of her own to show for
her care and study. For example,
you wash your face on arising in the
morning with hot or cold water; which
is more agreeable in its results if you
are compelled to go outdoors? After
washing ones face in hot water it feels
drawn and soft if exposed to the air.
Now, what you want is not a soft but
hard skin, firm but smooth and velvety-
looking You can never have a pretty
complexion with soft skin, as it very
soon wrinkles, and who does not detest
wrinkles?
So, ladies, do not use hot water. Do
not eat too much; that coarsens the
skin and makes it assume a masculine
look.
Those who have too much color
should avoid all rich meats and stimu-
lating drinks.
If people would make a study of
dermatology and pay more attention
to physiological laws, there would
probably be more good, healthy COM
plexions and fewer demands for cos
metics. But will that time ever come?
My experience of the past few days, l
am sorry to say, leads me to believe
that the use of cosmetics Is alarmingly
on the increase. AS some one has
said: ''It will soon become a national
eyesore. There was a time when
woman applied her violet powder in
secret, and as to rouge it was relegat-
ed entirely to that one-half of the
world the other half is presumed to
know nothing of. IN. Y. Mail and Ex-

How the Ants Found the Honey.

There were q great many ants in the
house where Charley Vail lived, and
his mother had tried in every way to
get rid of them. They are wise little
creatures, you know, but one day she
thought of plan she was sure would
succeed. She had bought a large pot
of honey, and ants love honey just as
well as any girl or boy you ever saw
From beam in the cellar she hung it
by two strong cords so that nothing
should touch it-and now she was
sure that they could not even know
where it was.
But an old ant who had been travel
ing that way walked down one of the
cords and found out what a prize
was there; and before he touched
it himself off he went to tell
his friends and relations. On reaching
the spot with his company the ant led
them down to the sweets below. How
quickly they attacked the honey need
not tell you; and after eating all they
wanted each took load as large as he
could carry and started for home.
Pretty soon there were two rows of
ants along the cord, some going up
full and others coming down empty,
and they never stopped until they had
cleaned the pot.
Tonight says Mrs. Vail. a day
or two after, ''you shall have some
honey for your supper, Charley" but
10! when she went for it. there was
not a speck there. Every thing was as
clean as u whistle.-Mrs. G. Hall, in
Christian at Work.

DIR. HOLINESS WEAKNESS.
The Autocrat's Vanity and Inexplicable
Love of NOtOriety.

The popular supposition is that Bos
ton worships DR.. Oliver Wendell
Holmes with a passion that is little
short of idolatry. This notion, how
ever, is slight exaggeration of the
fact. There is a considerable element
here which is not at all prepossessed
in his favor. Representing this ell =
ment are very many intelligent people,
who think that the witty poet is alto
gether overrated. His digestion is all
gone, they say. and now he is reduced
to the necessity of living upon his repu-
tation.
This sounds very much like petty
jealousy. Nevertheless it is undenia-
bic that the doctors vanity is the weak
point. There is nothing he enjoys so
much as being advs'tts5ed, although a
person who has justly earned so varied
a celebrity might well dispense, one
would think, with vulgar notoriety.
Not long ago a newspaper man asked
Mr. James Russell Lowell for some
materials wherewith to construct a
sketch of the then British Minister'S S
life and career. Mr.. Lowell politely
declined.
This happened, by the way, just be-
fore Mr.. Lowells celebrated interview
with Julian Hawthorne. The facts in
the latter case no fellow will ever be
able to accurately find out. Here in
Boston it was thought, and is still be-
ieved, that the interview in question
was pretty correctly reported. At the
same time, it is not for a moment to be
imagined that the ex-Minister to Great
Britain made all those scandalous re-
marks about the fat Prince of Wales,
and so forth, with any idea that they
were to be published. The most dis
Greet of gentlemen, over his after-din-
ner port, is apt to relax his habitual
caution in speech, but every body has
always said that Julian Hawthorne
was a goose. He is forever doing
something obsurd, and this was only
an instance in point.
To return, however, to the Autocrat
of the Breakfast Table.
About four years ago the Critic, in
New York, devoted an entire weekly
number of contributions, advertised
for in advance, eulogizing DR.. Holmes.
1t was called the Holmes Number" !"
and contained nothing but letters in
prose and poetry from all parts of the
country, with few editorials in like
strain Now DR.. Holmes is an I'M
doubted genius. Of all her citizens
Boston takes most pride in him. He
stands unquestioned in the first rank
among the literary men of the age.
And yet he could swallow all this cloy-
ing fattery at one gratified gulp, and
write an appreciative letter in reply.
1t would have made any body else sick.

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
HOW SEEDS CAN TALK.

HOW SEEDS CAN TALK.
Twas April, balmy, bright,
And men, from early morn
To night, had worked to turn the burrows
Ready for the corn.
And now twas planting time,
And Tim knew WELL indeed,
His part would be in every hill to
Drop pumpllin-seed.
All how the crows did cav
That bright haIf-ho.iday;
So free to fly the whole land over,
Near or far away;
While he must plod and stoop
Over his weary round.
Tucking the seeds, hilltop by hilltop,
Safely in the ground.
He sighed: ''Who'd ever tell,
Or who would ever know,
If just so many seeds amt really
Planted in each row?'
No one And so he dug
Out a great hollow space,
And heaped the whole fields future pump
Together in one place.
Who did tell! No one. But
When sun and sweet warm rain
Had made the corn-ield's long brown fur
rows
Green with growing grain,
In one far corner grew
most amazing mass
Of stems and leaves, that told the story
Only too we'll, alas!
Rank, twisted stems, and broad,
Coarse leaves in tangles grew;
And how they came there, who had done it,
All the people knew.
They knew and laughed To him
1t was dreadful spot,
And how even seeds can talk, he never
In all his life forgot.

THEIR FORTUNE.

He is but a fisherman,
She an oyster seller;
J-weli, TIL be if / can.
Their true fortune-teller.
BE has lost his heart to her
Love has thrilled his being,
AMI for him her pulses stir,
That is easy seeing.
He is jealous as the South,
Bound with Loves stern fetter;
She-well, watch her rosebud mouth
She is little better.
So they'll quarrel many time,
Quarrel ull the morrow;
Then, like their own sunny cline,
Joy will follow sorrow.
Doubling, always loving still,
They will pass together
To the shore where comes no i'll,
Strife or angry weather.
Simple tale you say this is,
Lacking point or glory;
True, but myriad tales like this
Make the wide worlds story.

Nothing remains of the famous En-
glish settlement of jamestown, Va.
begun in 1907, save the ruins of a
church tower, and this is crumbling
year by year. Tree roots have cracked
the monumental slabs in the church
ward, and thus one of the few localities
recalling the first years of American
history is slowly losing its distinctive
features.

"A man who, for the last thirty
years, had led the life OF miser, and

seven thousand forins-the savings OF
his lifetime-in the lottery.

WHY SOLDIERS DESERT.
A Bad State of Affairs if What a Re.
porter Tells is the Truth.
ohcers NeedIessly Cruel and Oncnsivoly
Tyranncal.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 2G.--Tho Post-Dis-
patch prints page article giving the
experience of a reporter who enlisted as
soldier and investigated the causes OF
so many desertions. The reporter
Frank L. Woodward, formerly of Min
neapolis, served three months as a re-
cruit at jefferson Barracks, near this
city, and then secured his discharge.
The revelations are interesting, owing
to the fact that during the year ending
about June |, out of an army of about
go, 600 men there we're 2,S42 dcsertions,
an increase over the previous year of
372. The story shows that enlisted men
in tho United States Army are treated
worse than slaves, many OF them
worse even than GoFs. 20 tXrible
is this treatment that, notwithst1nd-
ing the penalty of five years imprison-
ment in a military prison, dcsertions
are increasingat an alarming rate. Woo :
ward claims that officers, and especially
non-commiSioncd officers, arc nccdlcssly
cruel and extensively tyrannical; that
the food furnished is unfit TO eat. that
vcrmin make the soldiers couch unfit to
sleep upon; that the recruits money is
absorbed by the sutler and charges that
private soldiers have been murdered by
on-commissioncd officers without as
much as an investigation. Further in
teresting details of the expose are pom
