The Secret OF Beauty.

The secret of beauty is health. Those
who desire to be beautiful should do
all they can to restore their health, if
they have lost it, or TO keep it, if they
have it yet. No one can lay down
specific rules for other people in these
matters The work which one may
do, tho rest he must take, his baths,
his diet, his exercise, are matters of in
dividual consideration, but they must
be carefully thought Of and never
neglected. AS rule, when a person
feels well he looks well, and when he
feels badly he looks badly as general
thing. There are times when one
could guess, without looking in the
glass, that his eyes were dull and his
skin was notified. This is not case
for something in a pretty bottle from
the perfumer's, or for the lotion that
the circulars praise so highly. To have
fresh complexion and bright eyes,
even 10 have white hands and q grace
full figure, you must be well.-Quar-

universally followed. II may be
doubted whether it is universally
given or believed in. One thing, how

the mile, and much more, ought TO be
walked some time during the twenty
fourhours. Nay, it must be walked if
health is to be maintained. Indoor air
cannot be breathed all day long with
out serious injury. nor can sufficient
measure of physical exercise be dis
pensed with.
Nature is stronger than all the doc
tors and drugs in the world, and she
will not let man be well who per-
sistently disobeys her. She has made
our limbs for movementa and our lungs
for pure air. If we do not use the
limbs sufficiently and breathe enough
of perfectly pure air, she insists upon
storing up quantities of poisonous
waste in the system, and makes the
arms and legs as limp as jelly fish.
Men OF business and professional men
seem to have no time for walking and
taking the air except in the evening.
But how can man walk after a

fore a man should not eat heavy
dinner habitually. Whether he walks

nothing but harm, and all the more

For getting rid of the cares of the
day, for producing pleasant sense of
relaxation, for purifying the blood,
for raising the spirits, for encouraging
sound and refreshing sleep, there is
nothing better than an evening walk
after a moderate dinner. To those who
have not practiced the habit, the first

The Value OF Sleep.

We all know that sleep is as neces-
sary to the support OF animal life as
food. Our vital machinery would
soon wear out without it, and if it
were not for the intervals of health
full insensibility that sleep affords to
the brain we should all go mad with
too much thinking. And, although
some very smart modern philosophers
have advanced the theory that it is
possible for man to live and enjoy life
without sleep, the doctrine, like the
equally absurd dogma that it is posi-
bic to live without ststenance. is so
manifestly absurd that common sense
laughs it to scorn.
But bed is not for sleep solely. We
lie down toslumber, but we pass many
an hour in bed calculating, planning,
hoping, imagining. The course of our
lives is shaped, to some extent, as we
lie between the sheets and blankets.
OF the still night and early morning
are born mighty schemes that are car
ried out in the stirring day. The mind
awakes from a profound and dreamless
slumber with all its faculties invigor-
ated and emboldened. Difficulties that
appalled, us when fatigued and over
worn, lose half their terrors in the
presence of an intellect strengthened
by perfect rest Sleep is to the brain
what prostration on the bosom of their
mother earth was to the Titans; we
arise from il ''giants refreshed"
There are both strength and wisdom
in the pillow, else why should the
propriety of consulting it have grown
into proverb2-Boston Globe.

The Enlargement of che Young Mems
 Inssituse-Notable Growth and Pros-
 pects:of the Inssitute-The New Addi-
 Sion 60 the Library-A Fine, Large
 Reading Room for Ladies.
 Tho work of enlarging the Young Mems institute is fast nearing completion. In about two weeks the work on the large addi- tion in the new library will be so far oom- pleted that the institute can utilize one of the two large rooms or halls in the addition. This room will form an extension to the pres ent library, and will be in direct communica. tion with 1t. The present library room is far too small to accommodate the institutes books, large number of which are piled up on the floor for want of room in the cases. The new room will greatly relieve this pres- sure, and will accommodate several thousand volumes. The other room lies just beyond and will be . reading room for the ladies. It will be handsomely fitted up, furnished, and amply heated and lighted. Light will be ad- admitted from windows, which are of ample size for the purpose. The library addition will be lighted chiefly by glass daylight of ornamental appearance. The new book cases are now being manufactured and will be of handsome design. The growth of the Institute library, and it's circulation of books in the past two years, and it's increase of membership have been unprecedented in it's history. The circulation of books two years ago last April was I'll per week; on last April the circulation was 703 per week. The number of books in the library 215 years ago was between 5000 and 10, 900. The pres. ent number is 15,000. A large number oi new and frst-class new books of recent pub. lication, comprising history, biography and works of fiction, arrived at the library this week. The cost of the new addition is about $4, ,000. The Institute does not intend by any means to relinquish its claim under the will of Philip Marett, as it interprets it that it wal money should go to the Institute. The mat ter will be tested in an amicable suit befor the courts.

Kaiser Wilhelm Again . War Lord. Harold Frederic's London Letter to the New York Times.
 Everybody in Europe who is looking for that somebody keeps one eye on Kaiser Will helm. The young man seems to be veering around again to that remarkable war-lord mood with which he started his imperial ca- reer. For some weeks he has been visiting the various military centers of his empire, devoting his whole time to reviewing several army corps, watching sham fights, dining with generals and making speeches to the troops. You would search the most detailed record of hts progress during these weeks in vain for single hint that he regarded hif kaisership as involving anything more thar the duties of war-lord. No civilian has been able to get anywhere near him; no sug. gestion that Germany contains any civilians or thinks of aught but fighting has riser above the roar of volley firing and the clink ing of swords and spurs.

 ment at the Hyperion will be between $20O and $500, which is Q handsome profit con- sidering the magnitude of the undertaking. A special word of praise is due the efforts of Miss Millie Williams, the accomplished young lady who ofioiated as accompanist at the presentation of the dream. She presided at the piano with the rare skill and delicacy of touch and execution which characterize her playing, and contributed much to the success of the entertainment.

 He had been a bad, bad man all his life; even the most oharitably inclined could see no good in him. And now he was dead. He had been drowned while fishing. Anon, his spirit presented itself at the gates of the Golden City. 'I was suddenly drowned while fishing and had no time to repent" the spirit said humbly. "Begonei" exclaimed St. Peter sternly; ssthis is no place for such as you. But stay, what did you catcha ''Nothing," came the trembling reply.
