The East Wind.
What was the matter with the dean
of Carlisle? Had he got to be a worse
man? No. The physician said that the
state of his pulse would not warrant his
living a minute. Oh, if the east wind
affects the spleen, and affects the lungs,
and affects the liver, it will affect your
immortal SOU. Appealing to God for
help, brace yourself against these with
ering blasts and destroying influences,
lest that which the psa1mist said broke
the ships of Tarshish shipwreck you.
But notice il my text that the Lord
controls the east wind: THE Lord
brought the east wind" He brings 1t
for especial purpose; it must sometimes
blow from that quarter. The east WIND
is Just as important us the north WIND,
or the south wind, or the west wind,
but not SO pleasant. Trial must come
The text does not say you will escape

ABOUT THE SPOON.

" HE spoon is time -honored utensil,
but of late seems to be growing in
disfavor except in its very proper
1 kingdom Of liquids. Perhapsits aris-
tocratic standing has been a little
injured by the mushroom crop of inartistic
souvenir spoons which are supposed by deal
ers to be tue great ihcen,iv to travel. To
eat with spoon anttiing that can be eaten
with fork is distasteful to those who are
sensitive to the nicehes Sr life. Besides, it
gives an air Of iuelegance to ones table
manners, and It is at thetabie that'one ex-
hibits most unconsciouslyf ones breeding or
the lack ofit, says writer in the Illustrated
American. 1t is II positive embarrassment
to be given spoon fof,eating some dish
which one is accustomed to eating with q

sert-the spoon to be invariably of des-
sert size there then is'Eo opportunity for

TO CLEAN THE SKIN.

ri is no use denying OF ignoring it,"
observed woman physician en-
piiatically to a complaining patient
the other day; you must take a
daily bath if you intend to have q
clear complexion. Oh know! you are
clean, OF course, as the term is generally
understood. But being clean to the touch
and sight is one Thing, and being hygieni-
cally clean is another. The pores become
clogged very easily, and although you NAV
seem TO be free from all suspicion of un-
c!canliness, there may be a great deal that
should be taken out of the breathing holes
OF the skin. bath every night Just before
you retire is imperative. 1t should be COM
fortably warm. / do not believe in cold
baths for WOMEN unless they are of excep-
uonally hardy Constitutions. Sponge your
self with warm water, and then jump into
bed. You will sleep well and Your skin will
soon become as Clear and rosy as a babes.

Among neck ribbons. white satin is the

Next in favor is the plain taffeta ribbon,

easily as white, and yet it las a most Of
