A physician who has been investigating
the properties of vegetables announces
that continuous diet of carrots amelio-
rates hayshness of character and reduces
nervous irritability. Peas and lentils
create fatty tissue and encourage joyous
ness, while turnips have just the opposite
effect, SO women who consider themselves
too stout or too thin can experiment with
these vegetables for themselves individu
ally and run no risk of poisoning them
selves, as they may in testing chemical
preparations for the increase or reduction
of flesh. Celery taken in excess causes eye
troubles, according to the scientist, while
cabbage is beneficial in diseases of the
chest, and lettuce acts as q sedative. The
last named vegetable owes it's influence tc
the opium contained in its milky juice,
and eaten persistently will keep the com
pleXion clear and fresh.

Burn the Rubbish,

If the habit were formed of burning all
the combustiblc household dirt and all
rubbish of the back yard, our premises
would be much cleaner and more pleasing
to the eye. Old rags, paper, bones, dilap-
iiated barrels, pals, tubs and other organ
ic material collect, and by becoming wet
decay and form q refuge for disease germs,
to say nothing of worms, rats, mice and
other vcrmin. The household dirt swept
olt at the back door is blown in again by
the next gust of wind from that direction.
A green, nicely kept lawn, both back and
front of house, will do much to keep the
house and basement clean. Tho short, fine,
thick grass, especially if kept moist and
growing, viii entanglc the street dirt and
keep it from entering the dwelling.

slant and close supervision despite his ter
rible infirmity.
Captain Nat is, however, tho transcend
ont mechanical genius of the concern. He
designs all the vessels turned out from the
works. The largest of these is the torpedo
boat Gushing, and the most celebrated of
his creations are the Stiletto Gloriana,
Nigilant, Defender and the catamaran Ia
rantella, which in New York harbor in
1878 covered more than p miles in an
hour, a performance which still stands I'M

this reason is the best known Of this
unique and really remarkable family,
which also gave to steamboats, the coil

White Wells That Enrich the Oculist
Fashionable Gems.

White wells, neglected for some time, are
again in the front Of fashion and are gen.
orally becoming, although battling to the
vision of the wearer. Wells have occupied
so much attention of late that nearly all
varieties of weave and color are now pro-
durable. The latest introduction, and o
very becoming ono, is a white Russia net
with black chenille spots preferable in
many respects to the old fashioned white
net with black spots so popular years ago.
jewels are fashionablo-not only paste
buttons and buckles, but real gems, which
can always put in plea for the fashiona.

Novelties In Shoes.

Fashions of this season are nothing if
not daring, and there are some innovations
on recognized styles that are decidedly
chic. White buckskin blended either with
brown kid or black patent leather is a
most effective English combination. The
boots have the uppers of brown glace kid
with broguing of white buckskin. The
brown is of particularly rich tone. Some
models have tho uppers of the black patent
leather, and the contrast of this against
the pure soft white of the brogues is charm
ing.

BEAUTY AND DIET.
BeetA as q Complexion Beautifier and
Tonic-Othey Vegetables,

A notable cosmetic which dates as far
back as the good Queen Mary of Orange
is the juice of sugar beets, boiled peeled
sliced and set before the fire to draw the
rich sirupy juice out. This, in tablespoon
full doses, once an hour, with as much
lemon juice or port wine US agreeable, is
said TO be the material for making pure
blood, next TO fresh grape juice. Of course
anything that makes new, rich blood is a
fine tonic also, and plenty of fresh beets
in salad will add plumpness TO the thin
nest form, provided the beets are boiled
tender and slowly eaten. Thick beet Juice
with a few drops of lemon Juice is a nice
application for the checks to soften them
and preserve their color. This and the
vegetable lotions generally are allowed to
