sented us some strange things to be-
lieve. Noted beauties have been mem
toned as having taken baths OF wine,
of asses milk. of milk and honey, and
many other things to preserve their
charms.
1t is said by historians that some of
the renowned beauties bathed in dew,
collected by slaves, and others again
in rain water, and so on through all the
possible things i'll creation 1t is even
related of one great beauty that she
was bathed every day in fresh bul-
locks blood while it was yet warm.
1t would occupy the whole LEDGER
to recount the stories current OF the
ridiculous ideas held by the ancients as
TO different means to preserve or re-
store their charms, and few of them
would be of service in the light of sci
ence.
The most of the so-called cosmetics,
from the very beginning of the use of
them, were based upon poisonous sub
stances, just as they are to-day, and
we read in book on Egypt that
pas &c made of an arsenical preparation
was used over four thousand years
day women have been using all kinds
of preparations offered for sale by
constituencies persons, the most of
them made of most dangerous min
erals.
1t would be curious study to show
in what beauty consists, according to
different ideas, in different countries,
though, according to their lights, the
women in each do the most they can to
render themselves attractive, and III
all countries women have, and always
will, rely upon the use of cosmetics
of one kind or another to enhance
their charms or conceal the ravages of
time.
To impress upon those who may read
this series of articles the fact that they
are taking their lives, even, into their
hands, to say nothing of eventually:
running whatever good looks they had
in the beginning, we shall tell them
something of the materials which enter
into the compounding Of the various
preparations now in the market, and
which are said Cby the Makers to be
entirely harmless.
All of the so-called creams, and lily
balms, and such like liquids, are of ne
cessity based uron white lead, and are,
beyond measure, injurious to health
aud beauty. The commonest kind of
flake white is generally used in their
manufacture and what is in one bottle,
for which the buyer pays from IS cents
to 81, costs but the fraction of penny.
Rose-water, diluted with pure water,
fills the rest of the bottle. The bottle
must lie well shaken before using, as
the lead settles to the bottom, and the
water then takes the appearance of
cream, which is applied to the face
With a sponge, which is exactly the
same thing as painting u door or wall,
in effect, and dead white is the re.
suit, which is unnatural and ugly,
Some of them have q drop or two of
cochincal added, which gives a socalled
flesh tint, which is as glaring as the
white in its NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

ceaied his identity under the imposing
name OF Cyclops. They have been PER-
forming at the Westminster Aquarium,
and sending out all sorts of challenges
from the stage to mn who labor under
the hallucination that tn Y can lift q ton
or two with comparative else. Finally,
after Sampson had offered prize of 5 90
to the man who could do the feas done
by Cyclopa, his pupil, aud 81, 500 to any
better man than himself who might turn
up, Eugene Sandow undertook the task.
He fairly won the premiums offered by
Sampson, but the latter probably through
chugrin, refused to hand over the money.
Some highly amusing stories are told
about these contests. Sampson, who IS
not the hercu can person in appearance
that his ftats would seem TO imply, is a
native of Metz the son of q French
mother and Spanish father. He speaks
seven languages, plays sonatas on the
piano with the delicate touch of n girl,
and hiss biceps measuring AZ inches in
repose and 49, iGches when he wrestlcs
with an iroa rod or a wire rope. His
chest measurement is A inches, bat when
he initiates his lungs he adds several
riches to his figure. Cyc'ops, his
pnpu, is 81 years of age, and q mag
niticent specimen of physical develop
ment.
Sandow is Pomeranian, and was bn"r
Mt Konigsbcrg twenty-five years ago. For
four years he has been trained by Prof.
Attila, one of the best known athletic
teachers in Germany. His development
is superior to that of Sampson, his chest
measurement being 454 inches, and his
