HOURS OF SLEEP.

One OF the great mistakes of parents and
those who have charge of children is that
they are likely to allow the little ones too
little time to sleep, says the New York
Ledger. With one excuse and another the
youngsters are up later at night than they
should be, and as they must be off to
school betimes in the morning. and there
may be duties to perform, they are called
long before they have finished their morn
ing nap
Children, as rule. ought to sleep ten or
eleven hours, and to do this they must be
put to bed early enough at night so that
they may get this amount OF uninterrupted
rest But it is a difficult thing to give the
children the amount of sleep they require
because there is always something going on
in the evening that interests them-someone
comes in, there is a new paper or book. or
something is being talked of that they like
to hear. They plead and entrcat to stay up
just little longer, and with spirit of

this means but one thing-too little reposc
and a curtailing of the hours of rest that
nature imperatively demands. 1t is no
wonder that children are nervous fretfu
and difficult to get along with Their
nerves, inherited from dyspeptic parents
are keenly alive to every sound, and Their
tempers, none the best or they would not
be children of their parents, are irritated
by being called out of bed when they so
much want to sleep. During the earlier
years of children, whatever else may be
done, there should be ample provision for
long and undisturbed sleep 1t means
health and strength in later years, clear
heads, goods dispositions and well-regu-
lated mentality.

CARE OF THE COMPLEXION.
Simple and Healtful Directions for the
Enhancement of Beauty.


1t is not every one that is beautiful yet
a plain face may be redeemed by a clear,
healthy complexion, expressive eyes Or
beautiful hair. 1t is even possible, to Il
great extent, to correct deformities and to
develop attractiveness. says the New York
Advertiser. Beauty gives the possessor
snch power that it really is the duty of
every woman to cultivate it and to make
che very most of herself The complexion
is one OF the first things to look after, as
that may be improved with comparatively
n healthy, clear skin is the free use of soap
and water. The idea that soap is hurtful
tn the skin is a great mistake, providing
the soap he of pure, unauthorized kind
The face should be thoroughly washed
twice Il day; this is especially important
when the skin is inclined to be oily. The
rral secret of blackheads is that the face is
not washed frequently enough with soap
and water.
There is an art about washing the face
Use cold or tepid water never hot water
the latter causes contraction of the skim
which is inevitably followed by reaction
The constant use of hot water causes
wrinkles, nabbiness and other things to be
avoided.
Filtered ralnwater, or water which has
been softencd by chemical process, is abso-
lutely necessary il you would keep your
complexion clear. The face should be COW
cred With lather made from IA good soap
which should be well rubbed in with the
hands Then wash the face in perfectly
clear water until every trace of the soap is
removed Afterward dry with soft towel
Rough friction should never he used. If
the skin is inclined to he dry or harsh, Il
little emollient cream may be gently rub
bed in. An excellent cream is made from
the following: Mix together an ounce Of
Spermaccti, half an ounce of pure white
wax, and a quarter ola pint OF pure almond
oil They should be melted together in an
earthen pot by gentle heat, adding six
drops of altar 0i roses and one and half
ounces of glycerine. Stir all together until
nearly cold.
Allow the cream to remain on the face a
few moments, then carefully wipe off with
soft cloth \ little powder may then be
busted over the face. Pure rice powder is
perfectly harmless and tends to preserve
the skin. Great care should he taken to
avoid all powders containing metallic sub
stances as these are exceedingly injurious.
Creams are seldom suitable for those
whose skins have tendency to greasiness.
A cooling and slightly stringent lotion may
be applied in such cases. 4 good prepare
tion is made by mixing together the fol
lowing ingredients: Eau de cologne, one
ounce: glycerne, one ounce: boraX, half
dram; elderlower water, four ounces
During the winter great care should be
taken to preserve the color and tone of the
skin Sudden changes OF temperature,
cold wind and frosts are all to be guarded
against. These are all enemies of Il
good complexion.

TO WRITTEN THE HANDS.

Coarse and red hands may be whitened
by using few grains of coloride of lime
added to warm soft water for washing. All
rings and bracelets must be removed before
this is used, as the chloride of lime will
tarnish them. 4 soap containing this
ingredient may be prepared as follows:
White powdered CASTLE soap, pound
dry chloride of lime, l. to 2 ounces Mix
and beat this up in a mortar to a soft mass
with sufficient quantity Of rectfed spirit
Divide the mass into tablets and wrap it
up in oil silk. 1t may be scented by
adding to the mixture a couple of drains of
oil of verbena. In using chloride of lime
it is very important to be careful TO avoid
getting any Of the powder into the eyes, as
it is exceedingly irritating, and may even
cause blindness.

200 miles from Sidney, is burning noun
tain, one of the most remarkable sights to
he seen in Australia. 1t is 800 feet in
height and is supposed to be a large coal
seam which has in some unaccountable way
become ignited, and has been burning for
many years. certainly long before the
advent Of the white man in this portion of
the colony. The course of the fire can be
traced considerable distance by the numer-
Gus depressons or chasms occasioned by
the falling of the ground from beneath

is continually issuing from the sides of the
mountain, and in the vicinity of these

to these openings are very readily ignited.

Stories About StonewaII jackson.

A letter-writer from Rio Grande said of Gen
Taylor, after the battles of Pao Alto and
Resaca, Eve call him old Rough-a and Read y. u
No one in the Army had ever heard it before
but it struck the popular fancy, it won him
tens of thousands of votes for the Presidency,
aud it has gone down to history, says Gen. ID.
q. Hill in the Century.
In like manner a letter writer from the field
of the first Manassas gave Jackson the cogno.
men of Stonewall, and told very pretty story
about Gen. Bee pointing to him and saying,
There stands Jackson like a stone wall" Not
only was the tale sheer fabrication, but the
name was the least suited To Jackson, who was
ever in motion, swooping like an eagle on his
prey. But the name spread like wild fire, and
has reached the uttermost limits of the globe.
The story OF how Jackson told the Yankee
gunner at Port Republic to point the other way
is very romantic, but is also false. So the pretty
incident of his standing sentinel for his weary
brigade is touching. but is monstrously absurd
aud reflects but little credit on Jackson as q
soldier. The efficient guarding of whole bril-
gade in the presence of an enemy requires more
than the vigilance of one man, even though
that man was Jackson himself; yet the gro
tesque story has been often repeated by press
and pulpit.

Overestimated Value.

We may assume that our fast cruisers are the
equals of those of any other power and probably
few are superior, especially those with triple
screws, says Admiral Ammen in the North
american ReUie,0. Regarding the map of the
globe and the British coaling- stations marked
thereon, we perceive that had we a much greater
number of the best of cruisers, the probable re-
suits of their visiting distant seas would not be
satisfactory, as / propose showing through the
opposing forces that Great Britain would have,
scattered far and wide over the sea.
Our cruisers, doubtless have as high rate of
speed of those of Great Britain; there is ms
reason TO suppose that the results of the speed
trials, as given. are not exact; yet only novice
will have the idea that they will represent the
normal speed on the high seas. Contractors
take care that nothing is omitted to make the
speed all that is possible, with bottoms perfectly
clean. picked COAL and the employment of the
most expert fremen, with forced draft.
1t is we'll known that considerable repairs are
frequent after speed trials, from taxing the
machinery and boilers to their utmost, and per-
haps inj uries result that do not come to light
for some time. A forced draft is SO destructive
to boilers when mex perienced fremen are en-
plOyed, that only few hours stesming may
seriously impair them. Capt. Evans stated that
when in command of the Baltimore in the
Boring Sea, he ordered a forced draft in order
to overtake a vessel before dark; as q result
the boilers had 500 leaky tubes.

An Army on skates.

An army on skates was the novel sight pro-
vided for the Berliners by the fecund genius of
the German Kaiser. At the Winter manuvers
in progress near the German Capital, the troops,
who had been ordered to make diversion
against an imaginary enemy, were provided
with skates, and, amid much laughter and their
progress punctuated with many falls, the men
SKINNED over the frozen surface of the River
Spree to the point of attack
Similar Winter exercises have been ordered
in other garrisons of the Empire. and the
Kaiser himself is said to be practicing with
snowshoes. The practical value of the innova-
ton is not evident to the ordinary mind, but
perhaps the great military genius who presides
over the destinies of Germany contemplates the
possibility of Winter campaign in Russia
