HYolENlc SKIN TREATMENT.
How to Remedy Defects Of tho Complex

How to Remedy Defects OF tho Complex
lon.
When the complexion Is noteworthy
for its coarseness and Disbursements OF
various kinds, such conditions may
often be remeded through hygienic
treatment Though beautiful, clear
complexion Is not to be acquired by
artificial means, bad complexion may
often be improved. The success of sew
eral expensive face lotions depends not
so much upon the simple unguents of
which they are composed as upon the
observation Of the careful hygienic d.
rections given for washing and steam
ing the face before putting on the To-
ton at night and the equally careful
directions for washing 1t. of the skin
the next morning. The treatment Of
the face and throat to bath OF water
as hot as it can be borne at night
before retiring-holding the face in
the steam and gently rubbing the
skin while 1t Is still warm and wet
tends to promote perspiration, slim
ulate the pores and free them from
hardened matter which so often forms
''blackheads After the face has been
thoroughly treated in this way, always
remem Der to use no harsh friction, only
gentle rubbing with the hand, it is an
excellent thing to rub it with some
simple, pure vegetable oil, using only
enough to be Absorb bed by the skin and
not enough to be perceptible. The very
best oil for this purpose is perfect
fresh, pure olive oil This. amount of
oil is nourishing to the skin In the
morning wash the face carefully in
warm water and afterward with cold
water to give tone TO the complexion.
Nothing is more injurious to the COM
plexion than the failure of the skin to
throw of impurities through the
Precipitation, the most natural and
effective manner OF freeing the pores
and purifying the skin In such case
artificial perspiration must be induced.

this place the barrel and pack elfe heat
ing material around the sides until the
top is nearly reached. Then place a
frame or box without bottom over
the barrel, with a cover which can be
lifted up when the swill is removed
Pack this box full with care, and but
little frost can get in. A pail full of
hot water poured in the barrel, when
half filed, will make the pigs warm
drink at noon, which will be appre-
ciatcd. The heat will last about six
weeks, when the manure should, be re-
newed. If the barrel is placed under a
shed, or where 1t will be protected from
wind and snow, the cold will have still
less effect on it. There is no advant-

is much better, and the hogs need all

SHETLAND PONIES.

Our Little Park Pets Arc Not the Real
Thing.
The conventional Shetland pony
the animal represented in picture-bool1s
namely, about forty to forty-four
inches high, very tight-jointed, and
with an impossible growth of hair all
over him, is just about as bad type of
this famous race as can well be mag
ined. From his build he is generally
short-winded and thoroughly imprac-
ticable in his PAGES. A South Main
land specimen, on the other hand, long
and rakish in build-hard-grow as
the saying is-and clean-linbed, will
far surpass his companion in staying
power. One of this hardy breed-in
our opinion the ideal Shetland pony
has been known to travel from Sum-
burgh to Lerwick and back the same
day, with tolerably heavy riding
weight, say fifty-six miles altogether of
extremely hilly road. But, minor diff.
ferences apart, there are certain char

guished from an Iceland or Farce, pony
&c. g., certain unmistalzable breadth
Of build, set of pasterns, and, more
particularly, an apathetic air which no
other breed possesses. Your ''Sheltie"
is not a quick animal, is inclined to be
sleepy rather than otherwise in his
PAGES, and is, as rule, disposed to dc
no more than he can help in the way Of
exertion, though if put to it, he evinces
great power Of endurance, and will go
through an immense amount of work
for his size. The Iceland variety is al
together inferior, short-lived. narrower
in build, and generally fallacious, but
with all this, he is quicker, livelier, and
lacks that air of pensive melancholy
which haunts every Shetland pony.
Our advice is to avoid the inferior ami
NAL, however highly recommended.
Their price is, roughly speaking, about
half that of the Shetlander, but the
money is ill-saved. The average life of
an Ice1ander is about twelve or thirteen
years, while the other will live to
twenty-five or even more. - Popular

French Economy,

The ability of the French people to
utilize in domestic life what other races
waste is we'll known, and the result of
this vital thrift is seen in the financial
condition Of the French nation at the
present day. They live well, but live
on little; they seek social pleasure, but
only in an economical way, and they
are the best farmers, the most sl1illful
artisans and the most successful manu-
facturers, as an entire nation, the world
has ever known. They have been but
few years out Of a disastrous war, and
yet they are nearer out of debt and have
more wealth than the same number of
people in any other section of the earth.
This will be clearly understood when it
is stated that the wealth of that people
now aggregates $45, 500, 900, 900, while
that of the United Kingdom is only

Great Men who Were Deficient In Couver.
satfonal PoyrNr.

III
sational Power. g.
Many of our greatest men seem to
havesbeen singularly deficient in the
power of conversation. Even those
noted for their great wit, and for the
sparkling gems of thought thrown out
to an admiring world on paper, have
been so dull and stupid in conversation
that those who knew them personally
could never understand their right to be
called clever; but wit on paper is very
different thing from wit on the tongues
end, ready to drop off at the owners
will, without time for preparation or
remodeling, charming all listeners as
much by its spontaneity as by it's spar
kle.
We can scarcely believe when read
ing ''Hudibras," overlooking, as it does,
with wit and humor, that its author,
Butler, was the dullest and most stupid
companion Imaginable; but such was
the case. That Addison, whose 'classic
intelligence" charms you, and after
whom you have endeavored to model
your own style, was shy and absent in
society. That La Fontaine is really the
author of those witty fables that you
have read and laughed over-La Fon-
taine who was almost totally deficient
in conversational powers, as though he
sold all his thoughts to his publishers.
Corneille, the great French dramatist,
was so completely lost and embarrassed
in society, that he wrote a witty couplet
on himself to the effect that he was in
telligent only through the mouth of
another. One of our greatest novelists
was SO tiresome in society, that a friend
said of him: 81 must go and read his
tales in recompense to myself for the
WEAKNESS of hearing him converse"
Fortunate is he who can so recompense
his friends. After roaming with Milton
through paradise Lost" and ''Paradise
Regained," we are astonished to find
that he was unsocial and sarcastic.
That Dance was taciturn and satirical
we attribute to the fact that Beatrice
Tilted him, which had the usual and very
natural effect of souring his dispositions;
hence, we regard his fault with leni-
ency.
We are told that Gray seldom talked
or smiled. Perhaps talking SO little ac-
counts for the deep thoughts embodied
in his ''Elegy in a Country Church
yard;" and, as for his not smiling, we
forgive him for that mistake when we
remember that man may smile and
smile and be villain.
Melancthon, the contemporary of
Luther, was SO shy and SO easily en-
barrassed that once when attempting to
preach to large house he could get no
further than the text, and kept repeat
ing that-"Feed my sheep" Luther,
who, fortunately was at his side, told
him to sit down and he would perform
his duty for him. He obeyed, and
right gladly too, no doubt.
We might mention many more great
men who have been wall flowers in the
parlor, but who shone as Upright, par
ticular stars" in the library, and the
latter being the more endurable, and
consequently the more to be envied
position, we reserve our pity for those
who have greater necessity for it
those of the present day who may not
hope to shine either in parlor or library.
