Cause of Rad Compilations.

The main cause of a bad complexion
is bad digestion. Eating too much. eat
ing foods that do not nourish or that do
not agree with the system, derange 1t.
Indigestible or superiuous food, instead
of being converted into blood, decom-
poses and auses either n yellow COM
plexion or pimples and cold sores. The
best cure for a sallow or blotched skin
Is a simple diet. Amounting the face Is
time and effort wasted. The disease is
inside, and that Is where the remedy
must be applied. Some simple medicine
will be absolutely necessary to clean
house and start the human machinery
on a new and health-producing basis.
After that temperance, bathing and
dieting will do the work. Just what the
diet should be will depend upon the In
dividual, but simplicity. a~bstemiousness
and regularity are Indispensable to
health and coed looks. People who go

teries are always healthier and hand

CABLE PROGRESS.

The laying OF tho cable on the Third
avenue road has commenced. The work
is now being lone oil the section from
Sixty-hfth street and Third avenue to
One Hundred and Twenty-eighth street,
but 1t viii Of course be some time before
the cars will be run.
The cable on Third avenue m the
Bowery Is still ali experiment. There
are many more difficulties in the way
than In the case of the broadway cable.
which Ia now in such good working
order. on Broadway the cable cleared
the t~horoughfare OF all other cars, ex-
cept for. the short distance run by the
green car line. on the Bowery there are
| other lines besides the Third avenue.
and the cable will not rid the street OF
the horse cars.
The population of Third avenue and
the Bowcry is different from that OF
broadway. Numbers of children, unat-
! tended, are constantly on the former
~thoroughfares, and great care VIII he
| needed to prevent accidents. The cable
! system is, however. regarded as promis-
ing n great Improvement in travel. and
the line will, no doubt, be a success after
II has ~surmounted the inevitable COM
mencement difficulties and Is in good
working order.
The Broadway line is now running
smoothly, and the improvements adopted
have been successful In removing diff
~culties. No one would now consent to a
return to the horse cars on Broadway.

One of the hardest notions for The
unframed nurse to give up is that beef
tea is a valuable nutriment. The recent
assertion of a writer in the American
Lancet that thousands of sick persons
have been starved TO death on beef
tea is only a summing up Of what ply
sicians and expert nurses have been try
ing to impress upon the minds Of the
laity for some time. Beef tea Ia a stimu-
liant. slight and evanescent, but to live
on beef tea" which has been the shib-
boleth of many a sick room. Is impossi-
BILE. And the Lancet further counsels
that If it must still be made and used
to perform its very limited service. to
remember that. like plain tea, 1t should
| never be boiled.

and interfere in the matter of clothes,

persecution goes on and does something
rash In the tonsorlal or dental line, max

Arftsfio DresS,

Mrs. Maud Howe Elliot lately read a
paper at a gathering of young women.
one of whom thus eloquently describes
her dress: 1T is such a mistake for any
one to try an aesthetic effect unless she
is perfectly sure of herself. Simplicity
is always safe, but attempts at any
thing fine are another matter. Mrs.
Elliot wore a curious sort Of Grecian
robe. with long. flowing sleeves and
some drapery that was not fastened
properly, and was forever getting in her

The police Of the Sixth Precinct. Will

tine to-day on the house POI Ten Eyck
street. They refuse to let any of the
tenants go out. Sixteen families. COM
prlsing e!shty-three persons. are kept In
quarantine.
Three members Of Jacob Breinian's
family are suffering from what is
thought to be small = pox. A doc
tor was called In for the first time
last night. The house Is a four-story
double frame tenement, with four fami-
lies on each floor. 1t Is in a crowded
tenement district.
TIL police took charge at the house
early his morning. quite a scene was
created. AS most OF the men in the house
objected bitterly to being forced to stay
ava from work. The women also
clamored for permission to go after sup
plies. and wept when refused.
AS was the case in Capt. Eason's pre-.
cinct in Brooklyn some time ago. thu
police did not seem to care whether the
people got fool or not. They would TAXI
no messages for any one. The store.
keepers in the n~eighborhood heard Of
