FOR ROSY CHEEKS.
How to Obtain a Complexion of the Mo
Desirable Sort.

The woman does not live who would
not give almost anything for clear,
rosy color-except the necessary atten-
tion to her health. Colorlessness is al
most invariably the result of a diseased
state of the body, and the only way to
gain color is to be healthy. If the blood
is not impoverished the face viii be
delightfully."- glowing. If the blood is
impoverished it should be enriched by
proper food. exercise and medicines
The diet for an anaemic should con-
sist largely of milk, n one form or an
other; fair r.rount % meat, the most
digestible hinds of fish, With plenty of
fresh vegeta bleS and sound fruit and
bread, which is at once digestible and
nutritious. Both tea and coffee should
be taken in moderation. and cocoa
should often take their place. Thin
barley water, favored with a little
lemon juice, is an agreeable beverage.
Next in Importance to food is fresh
air. Make it a rule to go for walk
every day, whenever the weather per-
mits; quite gentle stroll will do to
begin with, for it is most important
not to get overtired. The morning is
the best time for going out, and espe-
cially if the sun is shining. The effect
of sunlight upon our minds and bodies
can not be overestimated 1t is most
exhilarating, and causes the blood to
circulate freely, and it banishes Ian
guor and expression when nothing else
will do so; therefore, it VIII be seen
how especially essential this magic
light is for those who are anaemic.
Do not be cont Mt with breathing fresh
air for an hour or two day while out
of doors, but live in it, 10y keeping your
rooms well ventilated, both by night
and day. Keep the top of the window
in your sleeping apartment and in your
sitting-room always little bit open.
and when you leave the last named
room throw oper the window SO that
it may be thoroughly aired by the time
you return. A tepid salt bath taken
comfortably in a warmed room, with n
good rub afterwards with a Turkish
towel, IS a pleasant means of promoting
the circulation, and Is calculated to
produce n healthy appetite for break

LEXINGTON, Ky, May s-Col BreclS-
inridge made his first speech in his
campaign for reelection to congress to
an enormous crowd in this city. After
referring to his past career and
services, and stating his posi-
ton on the tariff, he spoke
at considerable length on his
recent trial at Washington He ac.
knowledged his guilt. and said he had
fallen in moment of weakness and
passion, but had done all within his
power to prevent a public scandal
except the one thing, marriage, which
Mt no moment had he considered Did
he think for moment, as claimed by
his enemies that his sin had made him
unfit to represent his hearers in
congress; that n reelection would be
looked upon by the world as vindicl-
tion:. that a vote for him was either a
vote of approval or of conformation of
his Inisdeeds, he would not ask
for reelection. nor accept the
votes of his bearers, nor live
In their midst. But of what he had
been guilty he had made public ac-
acknowledgement, and his reelection could
neither take from nor add to the pun
ishment he had suffered lie was glad
exposure had come. lie cared not now
for the closet door to be opened, for
there was no skeleton there. He could
now look up through the blue skies of

with him the scars of the past, but
would no longer carry the dread of ex-
posture. lie would come out of the

Col. Breckinridge said that the ex-
tent of his guilt was truthfully con
fessed by him without justification or
palliation, and he asked no condona-
ton. In conclusion he said:
''jf some tne in your midst can better do the
work you want done your representative,
