HOW TO KEEP THE SKIN NICE

You want to keep your skin nice!
Well, then, here are some rules for
you:
Don't battle in hard water; soften
with a few drops of ammonia or a little
bOrax.
Don't battle your face while it is
very warm, and never use very cold
water for it.
Don't wash your face when you are
travelling, unless it is with a little
alchohol and water, or a little vaseline.
Don attempt to remove dust with
cold water ;cgive your face a hot battle,
using plenty Of good soap; then give it
a thorough rinsing with water that
has the chill taken off it.
Don't believe you can get rid of
wrinkles by filling in the crevices with
powder. Instead, give your face a
Russian battle every night; that is,
battle it with water SO hot that you
wonder how you can stand it, and
then, a minute after, with cold water
that will make it glow with warmth :;
dry it with a soft towel, and go to bed,
and you ought to sleep like a baby,
while your skin is gowing frmer and
| coming from out Of the wrinkles and
you rest.-NeU York Ledger.

This from the editorial page of the
New York Sun:
"His Eminence Cardinal Gibbons, the
distinguished Roman Catholic archbish-
op of Baltimore, ~discourses thus in an
article in The North American Review
for April:
The economic conditions in the United
States are fast approaching those of England.
The homes OF the poor are more marked by
destitut!on and ~squAlor; the light of heaven is
being closed out from miserable tenemen
room and attic; flesh and blood are becoming
more cheap, and bread more dear; the well be-
ing OF the car horse ia more solicitously watch
ed than that OF the driver. Small wonder that
strong men, maddened by the tears of wife
and cries OF starving children, band them
selves together, and sometimes resort to deeds
Of violence.
I'VE cannot speak for England, nor
for Baltimore, but if the homes of the
poor in New York are such as the car
dinal describes them, our board of health
is sadly remiss in the discharge of its
duties. Our impression is that the tene-
ment houses in this city are fairly clean,
well lighted and well ventilated. As to
flesh and blood daily becoming more
cheap and bread more DEAR that, too,
conflicts with the information which we
get about the rates of wages and the
prices of provisions. Where the strong
men, maddened by the tears of wife and
cries of starving children are TO be
found, we are also ignorant, and we
very much fear that the venerable prel.
ate has been carried away by his imag-
nation to aver that which is not so.
THE poor in this country are poor, to
be sure, but they are by no means the
wretched creatures he supposes them to
be. They are very much better off than
they eve were before in the history of
the world, and their condition is steadily
improving, though in the nature of
things, and as it has been from the be-
ginning Of society, this Improvement is
gradual and not spasmodic."
The New York Herald of the same
date says in an editorial: "Things have
changed during the last twenty years.
There is now on the average a round
million men, a vast army, constantly
out of work. Competition has cut down
the wages of the laborer and employ
ment is uncertain
Jacob A. Riis in his great book, Glow
the Other Half Lives says of the his,
tory and condition of the New York city
tenements, THE story is dark enough,
drawn from the plain public records, to
send n chill to any heart"
The Sun cannot longer deceive those
who are informed.

Cut and Dried.

A Partisan correspondent writes to
the New York Commercial Advertiser:
In the Middle Ages it was customary,
in order to kindle the faith of the faith
full, and to excite their zeal for Contro-
versy, in case they should be brought in
contact with heretics, to organize in
churches the comedy of a contradictory
sermon, The preacher stood in the pull
pit defending Gods word, and another
priest was placed in the tribune opposite
to him representing ''the DEVILS lawyer
and attacking the preacher with doubts
and objections, always quickly refuted
by his colleague.
With the authorization of m%onsignor
the cardinal archbishop Of Paris, the
Able Roland, cure Of a workmen's par
ish. has resuscitated this strange custom

~sionaries, especially charged to preach

early ass o'clock. Not only do the parish-
toner's crowd TO these sermons, but people
from all corners of Paris, and as the
preachers are different every time the in
terest is kept renewed.
Moreover, the cure has had an excel
lent idea for attracting to the church
numberless persons who never put their
feet in one. The controversy Is not
made on points Of dogma, but it is the
social question that is discussed. The
pulpit orator speaks from the Christian
point of view, citing Cardinals Manning
and Gibbons, exhorting patrons TO make
their workmen's lives easy, and prom

think it is au interruption by one of the
congregation, acts and speaks the part
of an anarchist Cmeaning any kind OF
radical reformer), and the d~ialogued ser
mon follows, much to the amusement of
the listeners.
1t is needless to say that the anarchist
always confesses himself beaten at the
end of the discussion, or to add that no
interruption or Interpolation or observa-
ton is tolerated from the public. Those
who have reflections to make are begged
to address them to the cure by letter,
who takes note of them to refute their
ideas and plans through the rmo of
the orators of the next evening, "the

Chauncey NJ. Depew insists on consid-
ering the indignation of the people over
the criminal neglect of himself and fell
low directors that resulted in the Central
tunnel murders as a huge joke. At the
recent dinner given in New York city to
a band of selected robbers by the United
States Express company the great Jester
said, according to the report in a local
paper, that in imitation of the Egyptians.

tons to their feasts to warn jewellers of
their mortality, he had brought along
his particular skeleton in the shape of a

Mr.. Platt's festive company with mirth-
full illusions to the vicissitudes liable to
befal a railroad president and his board
of directors. His semi-serious reflection
and warnings to his friends, drawn from
his present predicament rs an indicted
offender against the laws, kept them in
a continuous roa of laughter.

The bureau of statistics of labor of
New York has received the gold medal
and certificate from the international
exposition held in France in September.
1889. The reports of the bureau, az well
as the method of its work. with other
information, were sent to France along
with the same reports of many other
states. New York state took the palm,
and the reception of the handsome gold
medal and diploma is a high compliment
to the labor bureau.
The diploma is Enthusiastically
French art and of the usual standard
of excellence. The wreaths and group
ing of significant objects and figures are
handsome. The diploma is very ppro-
pirate. 1t will be framed and hung as a
trophy on the walls of the labor bureau.

says that the Railway Employees Pro-

industry have nothing to do with it and
are not opposed to the farmers.
