To prevent the blood from settling
under a bruise there is nothing to com
pare with the tincture of a strong in
fusion of capsicum annuum mixed with
an equal bulk of mucilage of gum ara
bic, and with the addition of a few
drops of glycerine. This should be
painted all over the surface with a
cancels hair pencil and allowed to dry
on, a second or third coating being APP
piled as soon as the first is dry. If done
as o as the injury is inflicted this
treatment will invariably prevent tho
blackening of the bruised tissue. The
same remedy has nc equal in rheu-
matte stiff neck. A simpler way still is
the instant application of hot water, or
by using a little dry starch or arrow
root merely moistened with cold water
and placed on the injured part-New

A LATE exchange estimates the amount annually
spent for face-paints and cosmetics in this country
alone at $62, 100000. We do not know by what
process Of reasoning, or mathematical calculation,
these figures were obtained, but if they are cor
rect we would like to suggest remedy Why do
not the lawmakers enact law that would make
the use of these poisonous compounds punishable.
They did in one town pass law prohibiting the
wearing of comfortable garment styled a "Mother
Hubbard" But perhaps such law would mill
tate against voter, as it is, generally speaking,
the men who devise these compounds that are to
make the matron of sixty appear but thirty, etc.
AS if any sensible woman would really desire to
seem what she was not, by bedecking herself as
the savages do with paint. In reference to the
sum annually thus expended, the writer says
"What the ladies pay for face-paint however, is
far less than the men pay for nose paint alone"
However, the color they thus obtain is more last
ing and much deeper in tint, but whether the
money thus spent by the male fraternity for the
adornment of the nose makes that organ more
beautiful, is a question that has long since been
settled by our sex in the negative.
Mrs. E. P TERHUNE Marion Harland) in her
address before the Working Girls Convention at
New York, gave them an account of the "human
snap' and other varieties Of women who would
keep back the advance Of those who wish to move
onward in culture and good works. Mrs. Terhune
said:
Darwin tells us that in the construction of and
provision for their dwellings, angle-worms add
several inches yearly to the thickness of the earths
crust. The woman who gathers and bring nothing
from without in the shape Of experience, counsel,
or general increase Of knowledge and strength for
the improvement Of her home finds her type in the
dull snail, whose house is constructed precisely
upon the pattern of her very greatest grandmother,
and who never gets away from it.

Going a Cunning.

Our dear friends, the enemy would
have us believe that we are acting very
HoOllshly In neglecting our regular voca-
tlons abrief period Of our time and taking
a hand IN other social affairs. But there
are times when II is the height Of wisdom
in q people to leave their regular affairs
and 10 a cunning. That 10 when wolves
or iaclkalls begin to raid the barn yards
and sheep folds and devour and destroy,
or when the grOund-squirrels and field
mice are making sad havoc with the
planted seed and the growing crops. To
continue then to rear and succour and
plant and cultivate without stopping TO
disturb the enemy would be species Of
the utmost folly-simply inviting a con-
dltlon leading to poverty, starvation and
destruction. Now the despoilment prac-
tlced by the upper order Of beings is
no lessactual-Ano less destructive Of the
peoples properties and accumulations,
their prospects and hopes, than that which
may be wrought by the lower beings of
prey, and the people are fully as justified
In going a cunning for the former as for
the latter. That is what they are doing
they are going a cunning now, hguratively
speaking. They would be foolish If they
didn't, wouldn't theyH Could they be
credited with possessing horse sense, did
they submit to have their gains raided and
appropriated as fast as they were accumu-
lated by individuals and cliques making
that the sole object Of their endeavors2
Well, hardly. Their first duty is to pro-
vide for protection. See that your ac-
cumulations are going to be protected,
then accumulate. That is the part Of
wisdom; any other course is the part of
fools. Just now the people should go a
cunning.
Our friends, the enemy, tell us that the
cause Of our poverty is the neglect to
properly care for our machinery-un-
sheltered, left out to water-soak, sun-dry

The following is taken from an address
recently delivered before the New York
bar association by Robert G. Ingersoll
"lf we are to change the conduct Of men,
we must change their conditions, Ex-
treme poverty and crime go hand In
hand. Az long az children are raised In
the tenement and gutter, the prisons will
grow full, The gulf between the rich
and the poor will grow wider and wider
One will depend on cunningness, the
other on force. II Is great question
whether he who lives in luxury can af-
ford TO allow others 10 exist In want.
The value Of property depends, not on
the prosperity Of the few, but on the
prosperity Of very large majority. The
poverty OF the many Is a perpetual mem
ace. II we expecta prosperous and
peaceful country, the citizens must have
homes. The more homes, the more pa
triots, the more virtue, and the more So
ourity for all that gives worth TO life"
An old farmer who was "fretting In the
collar" as to how he was going TO get
enough money out Of his 10 cent corn TO
pay the interest on his mortgage, retired
TO rest one night and had dream. He
dreampt that he died, and being ashamed
to 90 TO the "land Of Saints with his old
patched clothes, he started-lor the other

and was taken in. In strolllng around
he discovered large iron cage which
was always kept locked, and noticed that
when the attendant went In and out he
was always careful to lock the door after
him, either going in or out; but one day
the farmer noticed the attendant 10 go
away and leave the keys in the door, and
desiring TO know what was iu the cage,
went and unlocked the door aud was just
going In when the att, ndant came run
