The Beauty SIeep.

If you want to keep your beauty intact
have plenty of sleep. Want of proper rest
will age woman quite as much rs anxiety.
4 certain lady high in the social world
makes it rule to stay in bed one day 4
week in order to sleep off all feeling of ia
tigue. Women who believe in the beauty
sleep" and get two hours sleep every night
before u, manage to keep fresh and I'M
wrinkled up to thirty-five. It's seven hours
for a man. eight for woman and nine for
a fool, according to the old saying; but
many ambitious women complain that they
have to do with six hours sleep, as their
social and other duties are so heavy. Wom-
en- can stand late hours better than girls.
Many women make it n rule to have a nap
every afternoon

The Theory and Art of Handwriting.

Why do we shake hands? No one ap-
pears to know. 1t does not mean much, If
anything. Who has not suffered from the
strong and hearty grasp of, let us fondly
hope, ardent friendship, when our, per-
maps, ringed hand is wrung with fervor?
Who has not suffered from the man who,
when you meet him, holds your hand rs If
1t were a pump handle for ten minutes and
viii not let go? Who has not suffered
from that other who will not hold on at all
but allows you to do the shaking process
for him. Who is unacquainted with the
man with the clammy hand? Why must
we shake hands with him? Yet we all do
1t; we dislike it; we dislike it very much,
even; he sees we dislike it, that it Is posi-
lively distasteful to us; yet, meet him to-
morrow, and out comes his hand once
more to inguf your own.
An excellent English authority says that
the heur des pois, the creme de la creme,
the quite too-too people, do not indulge in
this practice as much as the upper and low
er middle classes, for there every one
shakes hands with every one on entering
and leaving a room, on meeting in the
street and on saying good morning"
coed night" or 'goodby."
1t is not for a moment meant to say that
the grasp of a hand is always bore; not
Mt all. The gentle pressure and the unmis-
taxable grasp of love, that is Misunderstanding;
but the vapid how dos of some OF the
young ladies and gentlemen of today, as,
with raised elbow, limp wrist and scarcely
pressing fingers, they give you a sort OF
horizontal shake in a bored way, is absurd
One of the most unpleasant persons &c
shake hands with is the nervous man, VINO
cannot make up his mind whether to shakt
hands with you or not; who does not holo
out his hand when you offer yours; but tn
moment you have withdrawn, and pock
eted your hand, stuffs his out, to be agar
perhaps withdrawn again too soon for yo1
TO catch and shake it. This specimen ma.
be considered and classed with his twli
bore, the person who does not know whlci
side of the pavement he proposes passini
you upon. and who does sort oil lmpecue
lodging, cavalier seul before you In al
agony of INDIGESTION. There Is only on
thing to be done with him. walk straign
at him, and you are safe.

ONLY A COLD.

1t is only cold you say and
you think you will soon get
over it And yet in the train of
a cold lies a long list of disea-
ses. 1t begins with a slight
Sc; sation of uneasiness in the
head, but it ends in cough
that breeds lung trouble and
runs into consumption, and
then death, The way to fight
this foe is never to let him enter
the citadel. AS soon as you
feel that you have taken cold
take a dose of that most excel
lent remedy, Reid's German
Cough and Kidney Cure. There
is nothing else on the marke
that is so certain in its effects
that acts so quickly as does
this, that is free from all dele
terious influences. In all these
respects it is a marvel. No one
can take single dose without
feeling its beneficial effects. 1t
ranges over the whole field OF
pulmonary complaints. 1t is a
specific for coughs. 1t has
cured many cases Of asthma
that had defied all other efforts.
1t is a certain remedy for pneu
monia, while for catarrh it has
proved itself the best thing
that has ever been presented
to the American people.

The human body is constantly undergo
ing tissue change. WORKOUT particles are
cast aside and eliminated from the system,
while the new ones are ever being formed,
from the inception of life to its close.
Water has the power of increasing these
tissue changes, which multiplies the waste
products. but at the same time they are re-
newed by its agency, giving rise to in
creased appetite, which in turn provides
fresh nutriment. Persons but little accus-
toned to drink water are liable to have the
waste products formed faster than they are
removed. Any obstruction to the free
working of natural laws at once produces
disease, which, if once firmly seated, re-
quires both time and money to cure.
People accustomed to rise in the morning
weak and langud will find the cause in the
imperfect secretion of wastes, which many
times may be remedied by drinking full
tumbler of water before retiring. This
very materially assists in the process dur
ing the night, and leaves the tissues fresh
and strong, ready for the active work of
the day.-HcrdH If Hedith.

\ French army surgeon, who has been
experimenting and aiming to lessen the fa-
tigue endured by soldiers during long
marches, has concluded that his object may
be attained by the use of rubber-heeled
boots. BY means of them the jar to the
nerves, and the headache produced by the
striking of the heels against the pavement
or road, have been found to be much re-
duced. 1t has also been found that with in
dia rubber heels it is possible to walk some
what faster than with ordinary heels.
and that on going into camp the demand
for sleep is not so imperative, and that
brain work is less difficult. That the idea
is practicable has been proven. The heels
with which the experiments were made
were worn every day for a year on long
marches, and yet at that time they had
changed very little in elasticity, shape or
thickness. a walking shoe, with rubber
heel, for women who are chemically nerv-
Gus, would, if placed upon the market,
enrich its inventor.
There is nothing that equals fresh butter
milk for removing tan, freckles, sunburn or
moth spots, says The Ladies' Home Jour
nal. 1t has the great advantage that it
does not injure the skin, but renders it
soft, like little child's. Take soft cloth
or sponge and battle the face, neck and
arms thoroughly with buttermlk before
retiring for the night; then wipe off the
drops lightly. In the morning wash it
thoroughly and wipe dry with crash tow
al rurA1 lao ,,.;n t,I-
all the tan and freckles. 1t will keep the
hands soft and smooth.
Another peril to health, coming this time
not through the stomach but through the
pretty trailing dresses so much affected,
has been remarked upon by well-known
city doctor, who advised a mother with
grown up daughters to have their dresses
brushed in the open air Immediately after
wearing on the street. He SAYS that the
accumulation of filth and dirt gathered up
by the long dress, and that clings to the
underwear and stockings, contain enough
germ-life to destroy a whole family.
Never throw away the pieces of lemons
after they have been squeezed with the
lemon squeezer. They will come in handy
for removing the stains from the hands and
other articles. Dipped in salt they will
scour copper kettles nicely and remove
stains from brass work. They will take
stains and dirt and odor from pans and
kettles as nothing else will The odor of
fish and onions can thus be removed easily.
Shabby leather chair seats, yalises and
bags can be frightened by rubbing them
with the well-beaten white of an egg.

AGRICULTURAL.
New England Crops.

The bulletin of the New England mete-
geological society cooperating with the
United States signal service for the week
ending June %, says: The weather for the
week Just passed has probably been the
most favorable of any during the season.
The heavy, soaking rains were much need
cl by all crops and being followed by mod
rrately warm, sunshiny weather, all crops
have made most rapid growth Pastures
and late fields are thickening up very fast.
but early grass has been cut as fast as DOS
,ible throughout the southern portion of
the New England section. Considerable
hay was in the fields when the rain came
ON and is greatly damaged. The CORE
spondcnt at Newport, y. H., estimates the
hay crop at 80 per cent, and SAYS that both
old and new hay has advanced - per ton.
while the observer at Brunswick, Me-, re-
ports that grass seems to be up to the aver
age except on some dry knobs. The gen
rral estimate is for about three-fourths of
an average crop of hay, though many saw
that the excess in quality win partly make
up for the deficiency in quantity.
The rain was so long and continuous
that strawberries were considerably in
jured, and the correspondent at Lebanon.
Conn, complains that the potato bugs.
which could not be poisoned on account of
the long rain, have put in good work and
have eaten half the potato crop. General
~ corn. potatoes, tobacco, beans, etc, are
putting forward rapidly and no reason is
now seen why abundant crops will not be
harvested. AT least one gardener in south
crn Connecticut has begun digging early
potatoes. Grain is growing fast and, in
the south, rye and spring wheat is head
ing full and heavy. Wild fruits continue
to promise well. Cool, fair weather is in
dicated for the first part of the coming
week.
