Medicinal Uses of Turpentine.

For medicinal purposes turpcntino
may be employed in many ways. For
pain in the stomach, bowels, kidneys
or bladder. dip large piece of flannel
in hot water and after wringrng it,
saturate it with turpentiue. Law this
cloth on the seat of pain and cover with
another piece of flannel or n towel. If
the patient be in great pain, at the end
of twenty minutes or half au hour wiring
the flannel from hot water again and
saturate it with turpentinc 1t is rare
thing that more than the second applica-
ton has to be made. In severe cases il
is better to apply the turpentine with
lard rather than hot water. Mix tine
turpentine in the proportion of table
spoonful to an equal quantity of lard and
spread on the flannel. This preparation
can be kept on for hours without dis.
turbing the patient, whereas that made
with hot water WILL as a rule, have to
be removed in half an hour or less time.
Where bloating of the bowels occurs from
accumulation OF gas, ten drops of tur-
pentinc on lump of sugar or teaspoon
full of granulated sugar taken internally
three doses in twelve hours-will afford
relief. In severe cases the dose is often
as large a. teaspoonful; but this should
be only by physicians advise. In
bloating of the bowels in dysentery, half
teaspoonful of turpentinc in dose of
astor-oil will relieve the patient.

The influence of color upon the complexion
and general tone of the toilet is very striking.
Blondes should avoid the lighter shades of
blue, which are apt to give an ashy hue to the
complexion. The darker shades of blue may
be worn more reckleSsly by the blonde than
the brighter shades, because throwing out the
complexion in high relief upon an accommo-
dating background, and the darker and more
velvety the shade the finer is the effect. Bru
nettes cannot wear blue becomingly, since
this shade, when Swallowed by yellow skin,
enters into a composition of green, and the

In the reporters stand, says a New York
letter, | saw for the first time a woman re
porting a horse race, and was interested in
reading next day what she put to paper 1t
was good work, and it suggested anew how
much women are now doing that only short
time ago was done by men alone. This young
woman had an article of five columns length
in conspicuous New York newspaper on
Sunday with reference to the horses that ran
in the Suburban and the jockeys that rode
them. The same newspaper devoted nearly
half its space that day to special articles
written by women. When a woman has the
gift of writing combined with the gift of
newspaper sense, and by that | mean the
judgment that tells her what to write and
what to omit, she is quite as valuable to big
newspaper as a man, for she brings to the
newspaper freshness of observation and an
originality that are refreshing. She can obtain
u certain line Of information, too, that man
secures with great difficulty. All the big
newspapers now employ several women, be-
cause their work is of real value, but sending
a woman to a horse race is absolutely new
