The canal schooner H. g. Ely, of this
city, George Moore, of Delaware, master.
arrived yesterday with q cargo of lumber
from North Carolina. Mate John Ben.
nett reported that when in Chesapeake
bay, off Point-no-point, on the afternoon
OF the 18th, with q light breeze from the
westward, two whales were seen first on the
port bow, distant about a quarter of a mile,
lash1ng the water into foam. As the vessel
drew nearer 1t was seen that one was about
~ feet in length, the other a little larger,
and that they were engaged
in a deadly combat. The whales Would
rush at each other, sometimes striking
with their huge, square heads, but oftener
lodging the blows, and the smaller seemed
to nave the best of it. They sounded often
and as often as they came to the surface
they threw the water Is to 20 feet into the
air from their blow holes. When thew
came together the blows sounded like the
fall OF a pile driver, only not SO clear, and
the thrashing of their tails threw the water
half masthead high. The crew of the Ely
watched the combat for nearly half an
hour, during which the larger whale was
driven toward the shore.-Philudelphiu
Times.

To Get a Beautiful Skin.

The plainest features become pretty
when clothed with a fresh velvety skin.
1t is in the power Of every woman to
have a soft, fine skin, thus adding
much to her charms, if she will devote
a little time and care to her toilet. It
should be a duty as we'll as a pleasure
Of attractiveness. First Of all, one
must keep the face free from those I'M
slightly black heads or grubs. Battle
the face in hot water: rub on a little oil
and then take an old-fashioned watch
key and pry out all the large ones. At
terward rub on cream or any soothing
ointment. In the morning there will
beno traces of the redness.
To have a clear skin it is essential
to keep the digestive organs in good
order and sleep as much as possible.
Sleep will do more to preserve the
freshness Of youth than any other one
thing. At night wash the face in warm
water-never use hot using soap freely
to remove the dust of the day. Then
take a pint OF cold water, to which a
tablespoonful of bay rum has been
added, and battle the face for five min
utes. Dry the face on a course towel,
rubbing gently to get up a pleasant
friction. Lastly spread a little cream
lightly on the face and neck. Use only
the finest cream and purest soap in the
market.
In the morning remove the grease
with plenty OF warm water and
soap-followed by a cold bath as at
night. Then apply a little powder with
a soft linen rag to remove the shrine.
Powder is an essential adjunct to q
lady's toilet-let men say what they
will to the contrary-but never use o
cheap powder. The best will be found
harmless. Avoid all face lotions, as
their use is sure to ruin the skin. By
following the above directions you will
find in a short time that those horrid
little specks that give the skin such a
coarse look will disappear and the skin
become as soft as a rose petal.-EG.

The .Typewriters.

Now that ladies are so generally m
ployed as stenographers and type
writer operators the columns of some
newspapers are burdened with coarse
attempts at humor in which the pretty
amanuensis and her alleged firtations
with the business man are the inspiring
theme. Perhaps these jokes, on account
OF their insipidity, are harmless and do
not deserve the dignity of a remon-
STRANGE, but nevertheless we enter our
protest against any attempt to place in
a ridiculous Or improper light the hon
est and worthy occupation Of a woman.
All honor to the girl who has the energy
and pluck and determination to qualify
herself to be self-sustaining and make
herself useful in the great world of bust
ness. There are enough actual follies,
weaknesses and foibles of men to laugh
about without making innocent women
the subject of ridicule by making them
figures in Incidents entirely the product
Of an impure imagination. The shafts
Of ridicule should be aimed only at
those who deserve!punishment, and wit
and humor lose their charm when in
dulged in at the expense of anything
that is good or useful. A woman's rep
utation is too delicate to be roughly
handled, and any light treatment Of her
occupation Injuries her who is identified
with it.-Western Pl0lUman.
