A CENTENARIAN DOLL.

1t Has Been q Piaything OF Four Genera
tions and More.
In the old parsonage at Bedford,
Mass, is q remarkable doll of carved
wood which has been the pet of four
successive generations and is one Of
the first two ever imported. Its his
tory is in the highest degree curious
and its value is greatly enhanced by
time, though it's cheeks are badly
spotted and it's nose, never Of the
Grecian type, has suffered compound
fracture.
At the beginning of the revolution a
Boston merchant went out to Andover
to escape the troubles in the city and
formed a close partnership with Rev.
Jonathan French, a noted minister. As
soon as trade was resumed-in 1874
he imported two dolls of style and
finish then thought wonderful. even in
London; one he gave to his own daugh.
ter and the other to the daughter Of
Mr.. French. The first soon went to
destruction, but the second was kept in
fine order by Abigail French, who in
time became the wife of Rev. Samuel
Stearns, of Bedford, and handed it over
to her own daughter.
Patty French, as the doll was named,
became an object Of household regard,
and the highest respect for her was ex-
acted even from the rudest boys that
in succession came into the family.
Four generati ons have followed and
Patty is still household pet. Tho
children of the parsonage, great-grand-
children of Abigail French, now have
dolls that can sing (squeal?), cry and
close their eyes, but they would part
with all of them rather than with the
cracked, battered and spotted-faced

How to Get Rested and Refresh ed-Ths
Value Of the Bath.
1. A tepid bath of twenty minutes
and shower bath of five.
2. A rest of thirty minutes.
3. Face, throat and neck subjected to
gentle friction of elder flower water,
mixed with half goblet of warm
water This removes all impurities
from the pores and gives the surface q
clear, ivory hue.
4. Scented oris powder rubbed in the
hair and brushed out again, being care
ful to remove all traces of it from the
temples and nape of the neck.
5. A delicate cream, similar to cold
cream-the juice of lettuce being the
chief ingredient-laid over the face,
neck and hands. After ten minutes re-
move with a fine linen cloth. This is
said to obliterate traces of the contrac-
tion and WEAKNESS of the features Incl

TO follow the foregoing directions
literally, under all circumstances would
be difficult, says Partisan exchange.
1t is quoted here to give some idea of
the manner in which age is concealed
by people who have made concealment
a fine art. To practical person this
may be simplified. We know that a
bath is to refresh as we'll as to make
clean the person. A sponge bath with
little bay rum or alcohol added to the
water will both cleanse and refresh.
The shower bath creates a glow; this
can be obtained by the sudden applica-
tion, after the bath, of a large towel
wet with cold water, followed by fric.
ton and gentle exercise. Some peo-
pie are too delicately organized for
such heroic treatment. The half-hour
rest is no inconsiderable factor in the
restoring process and deserves special
attention. If rightly taken it is mag

When the house is all alone by itself
inexperienced persons may believe that
it behaves exactly as it does when there
are people in it, but that is a delusion
which you will discover if you are ever
left alone in it at midnight sitting up for
the rest OF the family. At this hour its
true disposition will reveal itself. No
matter how strong woman's nerves
are. there is nothing more saueaky.
snappy, creaky, fidgety, cracky, moany
and dismal than the house she is all
alone in. Then, when the folks come
home you know how it is: welcome
steps are heard, the bell rings, the lights
are lit; perhaps something may be got
out to eat. People talk and tell where
they have been, and ask if you are
lonesome. And not stair cracks, no
step is heard on the roof, no click to the
front door, neither bookcase nor table
cracks; the house has on it's company
manners-only you have found out how
it behaves when it is alone. Banner of
