The Unsatisfactory Result of a Neighboriy

over the Michigan Central the other
afternoon. A fat man, who had been
complaining of the heat, dust, rate of
progress and many other things finally
decided to take nap Before getting
settled down and closing his eyes he
was seen by those nearest him to take
an artificial fly from his vest pocket
and place it on his nose, but it was a
quarter of an hour before it attracted
attention. Then a woman looked back
and noticed it and said to her hus-
band:
Samuel, do you see that? You had
better go and brush that fly off that
poor mans nose. It's wonder he can
sleep with it, but s'pose he's tired
out"
Eyes, guess I'll do that much for
him." replied the man. and he rose up
and went back The fly was quiet, and
he advanced his thumb and finger and
carefully picked it off and dropped it
ON the floor.
"Wha-what is it?" asked the bald
headed man, as he reused up.
"A fly on your nose, sir"
"a fly, ehl Where is t2 Ali see."

CARE OF THE SKIN.
PalnstakIng Care Is Necessary to Remove
Seemingly Trifling Troubles.

PainstakIns Care Is Necessary to Remove
Seemingly Trifling Troubles.
There are many little skin troubles
which are both persistent and trouble
some, and vex ones very soul by APP
pearing on the face. A greasy skin
may arise from various causes, but gen.
orally from lack Of cleanliness or de-
bility of the skin. Only an astringent
has any effect upon it, and very sim
pie, entirely harmless one may be made
from one pint of rosewater, half pint
of vinegar and few drops of essence
of rose. This lotion may be applied
with piece of soft linen or a very fine
sponge.
Blackheads are very difficult to get
rid of, and are caused by the clogging
of the pores of the skin by dust or for
eign matter Alcohol, ninety per cent,
applied by the means Of a piece of
chamois skin, will give tC2e to the skin
and remove unsupported dirt and dust,
at the same time stimulating the small
glands and removing, by constant use,
the blaclkheads.
Tan and freclsles may be removed by
the use of the following lotion: Two
drachms of powered sal ammoniac,
four fluid drachms of eau de cologne,
one quart of distilled water. Lemon
Juice and borax are both very effica-
cious, and are home remedies.
Many skins will not stand constant
washing, but need to be cleaned after
dusty ride or walk by other means
than soap and water. Lait Virginia. is
delicious preparation, and can be
made as follows: One pint of rose,
orange-lower or eldcr-hower water,
half an ounce of simple tincture of
benzoin, and ten drops of tincture of
myrrh
After being exposed to harsh or
chilling winds, it is good plan upon
retiring to rub quantity Of fresh
cream on the face, removing after five
or ten minutes, to be applied again, fol-
lowed by generous putting of rice
powder. acknowledges.
