1t is best to bathe just before 60
ing to bed, as any danger of catching
cold is thus avoided, and the COM
plexion is improved by keeping warm
for several hours after leaving the
bath. A couple of pounds of bran
put into thin bag, and then into the
bath tub, is excellent for softening
the skin. 1t should be left to soak
in small quantity of water several
hours before being used. The intern
al aids to clear complexion are most
of them well known, and the present
season is the best for thorough
cleansing and purifying of the blood.
The old fashioned remedy Of sulphur
and molasses is considered among the
best, Charcoal powdered and taken
with water is said to be excellent, but
it is most difficult to take.

Some phonographs win be next in
use in Astoria. Yol can rent one of
these magical contrivances for $3.50
a month. Suppose you want to order
goods in New York or. San Francisco.
Sit down and talk your order into the
phone: take out the cylinder, nnwrap
the little sheet, put it in a letter: send
it along. The recipient will put it in
his phonograph, turn the handle, and
your silvery soprano or tremulous
tenor or deep bass tones will be pro-
duced, and he will hear your exact
voice giving the order that you talked
into the phone at Astoria. Two hun
dred years ago they'd burn man or
put him in a dungeon for such capers.
The world moves.

The Dog and the APES.

Rather an interesting occurrence is told
by correspondent in the Field eng
land) of his experiences with the apes on
the Rock Of Gibraltar: GA few days ago
I was climbing on hill here, the sides
of which are precipitous in places, with
two friends and my two dogs. We all
saw troop of apes at a distance of about
fifty or sixty yards from us. My two fox
terriers set off in full chase. The older
of the two dogs "a fourteen pound dog,
two years old) seized and killed three
young apes, about the size of cats, in
about ten seconds, taking them across
the loins and killing them instantly.
While at the third, or Immediately after.
ward q was not quite close enough to see,
owing to bushes), one of the apes, about
four feet six inches high, seized the dog
and threw her over the cliff precipice.
The ape picked her up in both hands and
deliberately threw her over, without pre-
viously biting or damaging her in any
way. This was seen by several men at
work. With much difficulty l managed
to keep the other dog in. We afterward
found the body of the dog, quite dead,
below; she having fallen between 100 and
and $50 feet. The apes above were chat
tering, and apparently much excited" It
may be interesting to note that the Rock
is the only place in Europe where these
apes run wild. So much are they thought
of that special law was passed for their
protection. This particular ape showed
commennable reason in using his strength
instead of his teeth, in which case he
might have Jared badly.

SHE SWEETLY SLEEPS.

Night wind that grieves and sweeps
Along the dark, deserted streets,
While Natures heart in pity beats
Ger. sins and sorrows of the day,
And those whose erring footsteps stray,
Beset with perils, passion blind,
Through ways and woes of human kind;
oh, wind no need that wailing, thou,
Disturb that calm and placid brow;
For there around that precious head
The dews of sinless sleep are shed;
The restful zephyr softly creeps,
She Sweetly Sleeps!
She Sweetly Sleeps!
Unmindful of the heart that weeps,
In loneliness and longing drear
For light that will no more appear
Above life's far horizon line
And paint the world in hues divine,
Of soft blue skies and golden CLEANS,
September dies and summer dreams!
Yet, whisper in her ear oh, gale!
The burden of a tender tale.
That I would tell where / the sprite
That shaped her visions of the night,
While bound in gentle slunober's deeps
She Sweetly Sleepsf
