Russian Peasants.

Here is an amusing and strictly true
incident, illustrating the character
traits of the Russian peasants.
A party Of peasants who had been
cutting wood in a forest near Disna,
and had spent all their earnings on
drink, were vending their way home
ward.
We'll, brethren" said one of the
party, Eve are lot of bad fellows.
How SOP" asked the tipsiest.
I'VE have wasted our summers earn
ings in brandy, while every honest man
should lay 10y something for the win
ter.
All looked grave at his rebuke.
Then
I'VE are lot of bad fellows, in
deed" rejoined the party.
Let us punish ourselves for our
waywardness, suggested an elderly
peasant "let us infict upon each other
twenty-five blows.
The whole party assented again.
They cut sticks and began executing
the self-imposed punishment. They
each stripped and stoically received the
stripes.
The last one of the party, however,
demurred, and attempted to run away
before his turn came. He was caught,
and in punishment for his attempt to
escape he received fifty lashes, double
the number of the designated chas-
tisement.
Hardly alive, the poor fellow was
brought to Disna, where he was laid up
in the hospital for some time. -. ----o

What Grandma Used.

The bellies of the seventeenth CEN
tury slept with their hands in chicken
skin gloves to give the skin delicacy
and whiteness.
To keep the complexion peachy and
pink the old time beauties believed
there was nothing equal to the juice of
strawberries, either fresh or preserved.
Madame Recamier Is said to have
bathed her face, neck and arms in
fresh buttermilk once day.
April snow water, bottled and we'll
corked, was and is used by many
soft skinned woman for the preserya
tion Of her loveliness.
To make the waist slender it was the
custom of early English ladies to sleep
in stays tightly clasped and corded.
But this is not to be recommended for
beauties nowadays
When a society belle of our grand.
mothers day happened to be afflicted
with a foot too long for beauty, she
shortened its apparent length by wear
ing very high heels. Sometimes the
heels were so high that grandmamma
could scarcely walk upon them.
To remove skin blemishes that were
too pronounced to serve as beauty
marks the unlucky old time beauties
used to bind salt pork upon the offen-
sive spots, and sometimes even eel.
skins and chopped frogs legs were en-
ployed.
Sitting the skin at the outer edge of
the eye to give greater size to that orb
was not an uncommon thing in the
good old days.
If girl happened to be afflicted
with STOPPING shoulders her devoted
mother would bind flat piece of
board upon her back to keep the erring
shoulders straight
But there were some very dainty
things which were employed by grand
mamma and her friends to keep them
selves lovely. For example grand
mamma dipped her laces in lavender
water to make them smell sweet. She
sprinkled her locks with oil of rose
mary. Her finger tips we're touched
with rose paste and so were her lips,
while her skin was fragrant with altar
of roses which old nurse poured into
her bath.
