BEECHER,s H.IME-LIFE.

Home was always the. place,
whether in early or later life, where
Mr.. Beecher shOne the brightest !;
where the noblest and best parts of
his character were the most thor
oughly developed and best under
stood, writes Mrs. Henry Ward
Beecher in her "Reminiscences" in the
Ladies Home Journal. There he
never failed to reveal himself in his
best and happiest moods. Unless
out of town-which was not often in
our first ten years-he was seldom
absent from the home table. Then,
as far as possible, he put his daily
cares to one side. Between his pri-
vatehome-life and his public life there
could be no comparison, even in
early life. Mr.. Beecher at home was
the playmate and companion of the
young; the d%evotedly loved father;
the thoughtful. tender, loving hus-
band, and in later years, the kind
and cheerful master of his farm;
happy himself, and making his de-
pendents and all around him happy.
He was an entirely different person
there than when in his study-silent,
grave, ALMOST 10 SlSI lHISSS IL lhlOl-
rupted; wholly absorbed in the sub
ject before him. Occasionally we &C
cepted an invitation to dinner or tea
more frequently in later days. He
always enjoyed the visit and loved
the friends he met on those occasions.
But, returning home, the moment
the door closed there was but few oc-
casions when he would not say with
a smile-"Well, we have had a pleas
ant evening. l am glad we went;
but, after all, there is no spot like
home"
Then, as children and grandchil
dren grew up around u.s., if we re-
turned before they retired, there was
always pleasant or amusing talks;
and at morning or midday meals
there would be no limit to the pleas
ure he tried to give to all. In his
spare moments the little ones were
given unrestrained liberty. But
when no more time could be spared,
with a pleasant smile he would say,
There, that will do" and with a
parting or goodnight kiss, he turned
to his desk, and all understood that
''Dlay time was over"

PRESERVING THE COMPLEXION.

A great deal can be done towards
having a fine and smooth com
plexion, by a systematic treatment
of rubbing, says the Ladies' Home
Journal. A fine towel or a bit of red
flannel are best for rubbing, twice a
day, or four times, if rapid results
are to accrue. BY degrees-as the
skin gains tone and elasticity from
having thrown off the waste matter
in its ducts that kept it clogged, sick
ly and fabby-the friction can in
crease in energy. The skin becomes,
not tougher, but more resistant. If
therubbing is too hard at first, how
ever, it is liable to produce redness
and pimples. Even slight friction
will do this at times on an unaccus-
toned skin. But the treatment
should be %persevered in nevertheless,
and the skin soon becomes extraor-
dinarily fine and smooth.

RUSSELL AGE TO BOYS.

The boy who is wanted III the buS1-
ness world of today must be educat-
ed, saws Russell Sage, in an adnira-
BILE article on The Boy That Is
Wanted" in the November Ladies
Home Journal. If his parents can
not afford to give him a h~igh-school
or college education, he must learn
to study without the aid of a teacher.
in the early morning before business
begins, and in the evenings after bus
mess hours. 1t can no longer be
truthfullv said that an education is
out of anv ones reach. Our splendid
school system, where one can study
by day or in the evening, has put the
priceless treasure of an education
within the reach of all. The main
thing. in the beginning, that L would
impress upon boys is one of the great
commandments, Honor thy father
and thy mother, that thy days may
be long in the land which the Lord
thy God giveth thee" The boy who
respects his father and mother, who
treats his sisters and brothers with
loving kindness, has laid a good
foundation for a successful career.
You will do as your parents tell you,
and that certainly will be to study.
Don't be in a hurry to get away
from your school books. The cares
and responsibilities of business life
will come soon enough. Go to school
as long as you can, and, remember,
every hour spent in study in your
youth will be worth money to you
in after life. Read good books-the
Bible above all. Make yourself &C
quainted with history. Study the
progress of nations and the careers
of men who hag sc made nations great.
If you have no library of your own,
join one of the numerous ~associa-
tions to be found in all cities, where
good, healthful books may be OBJ

TO SERVE WITH TURKEY.

There are sone things that are I'M
derstood by most people to be neces-
sary adjuncts Of the roast turkey,
among them being giblet sauce, a
berry sauce, celery, and certain kinds
of vegetables, says Maria Parloa IN
her department in the Ladies Home
Journal.
For a change one might have mush-
room or chestnut sauce and currant
Jelly. The celery might be cut into
pieces about three inches long and
then be cut into narrow strips, placed
in iced water for two or three hours,
and then serve on a bed of ice. Here
are some combinations OF vegetables
appropriate to serve with roast
turkey or chicken:
Plain boiled potatoes, squash,
caulihower with white sauce.
Potato balls or cubes, with parsley
butter, escaloped tomatoes, spaghet-
ii with Bechamel sauce
Plain boiled potatoes, escaloped
sweet potatoes, mashed turn1ps,

THESE MEN HAD TAILS.
Prehistoric Skeletons with CaudaI A
nendaCaa Enund In Maxin4

Prehistoric Skeletons with Caudal An
pendages Found in Mexico.
- A discovery which will probably prove of
immense interest to ethnologists has been
made at the little hamlet OF Sinaloa, Mexico.
within the past few days, while breaking
ground for large coffee plantation. which
is being established by an English syndicate.
The find consists of thousands OF Skeletons
either of large apes or of prehistoric human
beings of very low order. II tho remains
are Of apes they were of a gigantic size and
OF variety no longer extant, while If thew
are Of men the men were provided with
distinct caudal appendages, very thick and
short, and curled up like a squirrels. That
they are the skeletons of apes can hardly be
doubted. judging from the arms. which
reach nearly halt foot below the knee-
and the thumbs. which are also abnormaIiy
long and curved, with exceedingly sharn
and powerful nails.
The feet. too, show that they were in.
tended for climbing, rather than walking.
and are also provided with claws and nre
heDsile toes Of unusual length. 1t is nrob-
able that the large number of skeletons
found are due to a battle between two hands
OF the animals having taken place at this
SPOT, which is further evidenced by the
number of broken skulls and other homes
among them and the fact that several of the
skeletons were found clinched In a deadly
embrace. No weapons. however, were dis
covered, but as these were probably of wood
they have persisted in the course Of time,
The work of searching for other remains
still goes on, every hour seeing hundreds
of more detached fragments or occasionally
whole skeletons unearthed. 1t is calculat ed
that over AGO entire ones have alreadv hsen
disinterred. A few of the most perfect have
been sent to the British Museum. and others
will be presented to the Smithsonian Instis
