EVERY WOMAN

So says Jenness Miller, the famous
lecturer and writer on dress reform
and physical culture, and a celebrated
writer in medical journal says:
"Face powders and toilet preparations
have legitimate use in the toilette of
every woman and use properly made
need not, any more than the proper
use of perfume, displease any one,
while it can not be denied that they
add to the personal beauty and at
tractiveness and give to the wearer an
expression that can be interpreted by
any practical observer to mean that
THIS WOMAN IS NEAT AND CAREFUL
ABOUT HER PERSON AND HOLDS A JUST
PRIDE IN BEAUTIFYING HERSELF. In
the use of toilet preparations it is
easy to distinguish the well-bred from
the vulgar" Another well-known
authority, DR.. Arthur Dean Bevan,
professor of anatomy in the Rush
Medical College and P. A. surgeon
u. S. M. H. S., writes without re-
serve on kindred subject What
he says:
CHICAGO, Jan. 81, 1888.
w. M. Wisdom-Dear Sir: AS
you requested, I have examined the
formula of your toilet preparation
called Robertine. | can assure you
that the ingredients are both bland
and harmless, and that the compound
would form an excellent application
in irritated conditions of the skin.
Society ladies and noted artistes
throughout the United States unhesi-
tatingly pronounce Robertine the
perfection in toilet article Once
tried, always used-such is its history.

Doctorins the Wild Animals,

Hospitals for cats and dogs are quite
common in the large cities, and many a
feline and canine pet has been successfully
nursed through severe illness by the ex-
pert doctors who spend their time in study
ing animal diseases. With the exception
OF wounds and injuries, the great majority
OF the complaints which the pets suffer
from come as a direct result of too high
living. Sweets, cake, candy and highly
seasoned food will in the course of time
make even the dumb brutes sick, and the
animal doctors frequently find that all
their patients need are little physic and
plain living. Two weeks of such common
treatment generally restores the pets to
health and strength again.
But of late years the importations to
this country of wild animals for circuses.
menageries and exhibitions of various
kinds have been so large that there has
sprung up regular system of doctoring
for wild animals. Their complaints gen
orally are very few. At first they are
homesick after leaving their forest jun
giles, and they pine away in their cages I'M
less they are carefully watched. The wilder
and fiercer ones refpese to be consoled, and
they often injure themselves in their frantic
efforts to break through their iron cage.
Then the heat, change of climate and food
and occasionally old age, bring on com
plants that must be checked by expert
physicians.-New York Epoch.

The Making Up of Cushions.

Fashions in Draperies and Embroideries.
The Making Up of Cushions.
The rage for draping every article of fur
niture that could by any possibility bear it,
and some that could not bear it, without
appearing utterly grotesque, has happily
gone the way of all overdone fashions.
Women are content now with square of
embroidered silk laid on the top of grand
piano, and perhaps a large easel, with
silk and plush thrown in careless folds
about it and knotted here and there, or
tied with cords and tassels.
Crewel or stem stitch embroideries, car
ried out III softly tinted silks on a white
silk ground, are very delicate. One Of the
prettiest has a light design, worked in
pale green and pink silks on a white
ground. A length of this combined with
olive or chestnut plush drapes an easel
most satisfactorily,
The best cushions are now covered on
both sides with the same material and fin
ished with a wide double frill of soft satin.
These embroidered silks are well suited
for small occasional table covers. 1t is bet
ter to line them, as that gives them just
the necessary substance, besides which
ladies who are particular in having every
thing in their rooms natty think almost as
much of the making up" as of the ma
terial itself The corners of the cover are
sure now and again to turn back, and il
there is only narrow tasseled fringe at
the edge, then the prettily tinted lining
gives an additional charm. 1t is not well
TO use them without something to border
them; a deep frill is undoubtedly most
popular.

Two friends, newspaper men, went on ar
excursion. While on railway train they
were moved to mischief by the comical ap
pearance of country looking fellow who
sat near.
"How long did it take you to write Para
disc LostY" one of the friends asked, ad
dressing his companion.
'Oh, about two weeks, but was busy
on the Course of Time good bit of the
while. You worked quite awhile on the
Vicar of Wakefield didn't your"
"Well, yes, quite awhile. On, could
have done it sooner il / hadn't worked so
hard on the 'Rasselas' during the time.

that caught it on Tine Decline aud Fall
of the Roman Empire / had to have it
done by certain time, and hanged if /
didn't write volume week for six weeks.
After that / took it easy and didn't write
more than volume in two weeks"
They glanced occasionally at the coun-
tryman and Uttered gleefully. Pretty soon
the fellow got up, approached them, and
said:
Il have taken lay off merely to look for
you fellows. / wanted TO have some fun
with you" And before they knew what
he was about he seized them in a strong
and mysterious way and bumped their
heads together; and then, as the train had
reached a station, he bowed politely and

it hoated through my aching head that he

thoughts as one of those helpless women
who give out on the slightest provocation.
But suddenly he stopped at my seat:
:" Il beg your pardon, madam. but is that

Thanksgiving Plum Pudding.

This requires three pints Of milk, eight
eggs, a ten cent loaf of bakers bread, one
cupful of sugar, one pound of raisins, one
teaspoonful of salt. one teaspoonful of va
nilla extract and one-half cupful of butter,
says Good Housekeeping. Remove the
seeds from the raisins. Place the milk and
raisins in a double boiler, and make them
boiling hot. Beat the eggs slightly, add
the sugar, then the boiling milk, the salt
and vanilla. Slice the bread and spread it
with the softened butter; then put the
slices in the hot custard. Butter well a
deep brown pudding pan. Put layer of
the soaked bread in the pan and scatter
Taisins over it; then more bread and mora
raisins until all are used, having the last
layer of bread. Bake in a slow oven for
two hours. When ready for serving turn
it from the pan into pudding dish, and
use with it a hard sauce made from one
half a cupful of butter beaten to cream,
and one cupful of powdered sugar beaten
into it until it is very light and creamy.
Add one-half teaspoonful of vanilla ex-
tract or one tablespoonful of wine. Pile it
roughly on pretty dish and CRATE nutmeg
over it.

get to his destination before B. In case
the train if moving forward, A, while walk
ing forward, goes faster than B and will
get to his destination sooner-always pro
vided that ne jumps off promptly when he
gets there. In the third case, in which the
train backs, A, while walking forward,
will be going slower than B, provided the
trains speed is greater than AS. Whether

Stuffed Cahhara.

The following is an excellent way to cook
cabbage: Choose a firm, nice cabbage,
pick off the outside leaves and plunge the
cabbage into boiling water, pressing it
down In the center to allow the water to
penetrate and loosen the leaves. Then
place the cabbage on meat board and
open each Leaf gently until you reach the
center. out of which cut piece about the
size of an egg. Fill this space where you
have cut out the heart with mixture of
minced cold meat or chicken, chopped
bacon and two well beaten eggs; bring the
nearest leaves well over to reform the
heart and Ill each space between the leaves
with a thin layer of the mince, bringing
each leaf back as nearly as possible to its
original place. Lay two strips of bacon
Sideways over the cabbage and tie it all
around with thick thread so it cannot fall
to pieces. Make nice brown gravy and
pour over the cabbage; in this simmer the
cabbage gently for four hours.

give his man "piece of his mind" He
did so. He berated him up hill and down.
He didn't leave him, as he expressed it, in
any kind of shape. All the time the OBJ
ject of the attack had on the counter by
his side the phsnograph, in action, only
the caller didn't know it. When he had
finished, the Lewiston man said:
care you done?'
"Yes, / am DONE" was the reply.
"Just one moment" was the rejoinder.
Il want you to hear what you said," and
the merciless photograph was reversed
and the record pronounced through the
machine SO that all could hear it.
A blush overspread the callers face. He
listened in wonder and surprise. AS oaths
and epithets flowed out of the machine, the
exact reproduction of his own vituperation,
he moved away, and when all was done a
man more sheepish and ashamed could not
be found. Said he, after moments
thought. turning to the Lewiston man: "I
have had valuable lesson. No man who
would talk like that in public has any
right to be considered. Iwant you to pull
that record, as you call it, off from that
machine and give it to me. I'll pay for it."
1t was done and the caller stood by the
counter uttering apologies and whiting
into pieces the wax cylinder that con-
tanned his remarks.-Lewiston Journal,

Loved and Lost.

| The love between Robert Browning and
his wife was ideal, in the true sense of that
much abused word And her death, after
a few short years of married life, left the
poet inconsolable To him she remained
always the dearest and most lovely of Gre
ated beings, and her gift seemed to him far
greater than his own.
l was travelling in Italy. There were few
tourists in my compartment, and all were
absorbed in books of revery, until the close
of the long, tiresome day. Then it was
that the elderly gentleman who had sat by
my side without moving his eyes from the
landscape, made comment that invited
conversation.
You are fond of poetry?" he asked,
when something in the shifting splendor
of the Italian skies evoked from me q
Byron couplet.
"Oh, yes" / responded. 81 love poets
and poetry"
The old gentleman grew young, and
never shall forget the wonderful thought
and imagery that flowed in a continuous
stream from his lips.
"Who are your favorite poetsr' he asked
abruptly.
l named them, and without further COM
ment quoted my favorite poem, one of
Mrs. Browning's. When | had finished
my companion resumed his post by the
window and did not deign to notice me
again.
l was much discounted. Had l given
offense? Before reaching our destination
/ yentured to say:
II suspect, sir, that you do not like Mrs.
Browning's poetry"
The dark eyes of the stranger turned pit
fully upon me, and he said: Madam, that
sonnet is the sweetest and its singer the
most precious gift life has given me. She
was my wife. Cor Christian Union.
