SUNBURN AND TAN.
Preparations for the Benefit of My Lady
COmplexiOn,

Preparations for the Benefit of My Lady's
Complexion.
Sunburn and tan are among the con-
comitants of sultry weather A skin
well Drowned by the sun no one need
be ashamed of. Yet there is no harm
in using lotion made of equal parts of
honey, lemon juice and eau de cologne
to remedy the brown.
Mix the lotion together carefully and
keep it in tightly-corled earthen,
away from any especial heat of the
sun. The inside compartment of a tot
let table is good place to keep it.
Sunburn, different from tan, is, on
the other hand, sometimes a very dis
tressing atfiiction and often needs care.
full treatment. A good cold cream
made of oil of almonds is one of the
best remedies that can be used. 1t
should be remembered that there are
two kinds of emollients-one kind that
lies upon the skin in the form of
poultice, and another that penetrates
the pores as most of the animal fats do.
Cold creams, made of lard, as most Of
our manufactured creams are, are OBJ
jectionable for this reason. Penetrating
the pores, they tend to make the skin
course and grow fabby, and conse-
quently to soon form in wrinkles. The
cold creams of vegetable nature, like
cocoa butter or almond oil do not have
this penetrating quality, but rather act
as a soother and poultice to the skin.
To make a cold cream of oil of al
monds, procure from a trustworthy
druggist half an ounce each of white
wax and spermacetti four ounces of
oil of almonds and two ounces of violet
water. The violet water is not strict
ly essential, but it adds fragrance to
the preparation. Put the white wax
and spermacetti in a small earthen jar
or teacup. Set it in a saucepan of warm
water and let it boil up carefully until
all the ingredients are completely melt
ed and mixed together. Stir the con-
tents of the cup frequently to attain
this result. When it is accomplished
add the violet water Pour the cold
cream into the jar in which it is to be
kept, and set this jar in cold water till
the cream hardens. This makes de-
lightfully fragrant cream as well as a
soothing one, and is useful for chapped
hands and lips as well as sunburn.
When the hands lack softness, glycer,
inc and oatmeal are sometimes very
useful. Rub the hands first with pure
glyeerine, but If thisis irritating dilute
1t with one-half its bulk of rose water.
Dip the hands freely in the oatmeal
and put on gloves. This will finally
soften the most obdurately hard hand.
Our grandmothers used to use bran in
very much the same manner.-N. Y.

burned with s'sow" or lump of silver
which turned out to be worth
from one thousand to twelve hundred
dollars. They buoyed the place
and returned to the captain overioyed
with their good fortune-it being well
known that the wreck which they had
thus located had been one of the ships
belonging to the king of Spain, which
had been lost on returning voyage
from South America richly freighted
with silver bullion.
The loss of the ship was supposed to
have occurred about the year 1857, and
the immense treasures which were re-
ported to have been sunk with her
were often made the subject of in
genious speculation, and many had sunk
their own fortunes in trying to find it.
Capt. Phips, however, was to be the
fortunate finder, and here at last. after
long and patient search, he actually
located the wreck of the ship contain
ing it.
Having prepared his apparatus for
fishing up the contents of the wreck.
all hands were now busily employed
in the work, and in a short time they
succeeded in procuring the vast amount
of thirty-two tons of silver.
In addition to this Capt. Adderly, an
adventurer from Providence, and par
ticular friend of Capt. Phips, obtained
six tons more of silver from the same
wreck at the same time. 1t was by
agreement that Adderly met Phips at
the place of the wreck with small
vessel.
Adderly was so overjoyed with the
extent of his riches and so elated at
such unlool1ed-for acquisitions, that he
lived but little while to enjoy them
1t is said that he went to one of the
Bermuda islands, where he became in
sane and died two years after the six
tons of silver came into his hands.
Phips, however, made profitable ac-
count of the expedition, and lived to
enjoy the proceeds of it without preju-
dice to his health or destruction of his
mind.
In few weeks after leaving the
wreck-16S7-he arrived safe in London
with a cargo valued at nearly one mil
lion five hundred thousand dollars. He
made an honest distribution of it among
those who aided in fitting him out
with a vessel and other appliances for
his expedition, and received about
seventy-fve thousand dollars for his
share of the profits. The duke of Abe
marie, out of respect to his honesty
and fidelity, presented his wife, who
was then in New England, gold cup
worth near a thousand pounds. And
King James, as a reward for his i'm
portant services in bringing such an
amount of precious metals into the
country, conferred on him the honor
of l1nighthood. Herald.
