lighthouses.

Tho first lighthouse of which there is
any record in history was built by ptolcny
Philadelphus about 306 b. c. 1t was Il
tower on which wood fires were kept bla:-
ing ut night. 1t was built On Phnros, n
small island in the bay Of Alcxandriu, and
WINS one OF the seven wonders of the world.
1t Is an interesting fact that tho modern
French and Spanish names for lighthouse
the cne being pharr, the other faro-s,ill
preserve tho memory Of the island where
the flrst attempt :t scaCuast Illumination
was located. Tho ruii:cd tower in Dover
castle, England, erected about A. ID. "A, is
claimed by some authorities TO have tccn
built for u lighthouse, upon which an
enormous wood fire was Kept burning.
The lighthouse on the southern end of
tho island of Ccnanicut, ut the mouth Of
N~arragarsct; bay, Is said TO he the oldest
In the United States. The present sir,!c-
ture Is comparatively modern, but tie !!rst
one was erected i'll 1850, and for nearly
100 years previous II watch tower Will. u
beacon fire, had existed at the same point.
The lighthouse bears the odd name Of
Beaver Tail. The southern portion Of
Conanicut island Is shaped something like
u beaver, With its tail pointing southwark,
and In early lines 1t was known by thu
name, the two extrcmities being called
head and tail.-Exchange.

The Tal.acy of Food Tables.

Tables giving the respective percentage
OF nutrimcnt IN animal and vegetable foods
arc quite common and aro often consulted
by those wishing to gain nourishment from
the smallest quantity of food matter. Such
persons forget that tho measure Of nutri-
ton to any individual casc Is not to he
judged by a table showing tho nutritiye
parts OF food rs determined by chemical
analysis, but depends upon its digestibility
in his or her particular case. Cheese,
measured by tho clements of its compost
ton, is far moro nourishing than beef, yet
cheese is to most people difficult Of diges-
ton, and therefore beef in the majority of
cases affords much moro actual nourish.
Incnt. All depends ON tho person. Many
times food that is practically poison to one
is n~ourishing and inyigorating to another.
We are not only fearfully and wonderfully
made. but wo arc made so unlike in many
respects that we must not take it for rant
cd that another mans diet will suit us till
we have tested it well.-What to Eat.

TO BE BEAUTIFUL.

"HE face should be thoroughly
washed twice a day. This is es-
pecially important when the skin
is inclined to be oily. The real secret
OF blackheads is that the face is not
washed frequently enough with soap
and water. There is an art about wash
ing b face. Use cold or tepid water,
never hot water; the latter causes con-
traction of the skin, which is invaria-
bly, followed by reaction. The constant
use of hot water causes wrinkles, fab
bineSs and other things to be avoided.
FILTERED rain water Or water which
has beer softened by chemical process
is absolutely necessary if you would
Keep your complexion clear. The face
should be covered with a lather made
from a good soap, which should be we'll
rubbed in with the hands. Then wash
the face in perfectly clear water until
every trace of the soap is removed.
Afterward dry gently with a soft tow
eL. Rough friction should never be
used. If the skin is inclined to be dry
or harsh a little emOllient cream may
then be gently rubbed in. An excel
lent cream is made from the following:
Mix together an ounce Of spermace-
ii, half an ounce of pure white wax
and a quarter of a pint Of pure almond
oil. These should be melted together
n an earthcn pot by a gentle heat,
adding six drops of altar of roses and
one and q half ounces of plycprinp.
Stir all together until nearly cold. AL
low the cream to remain on the face
a few moments, then carefully wipe off
with a soft cloth. 4 little powder may
then be busted over the face. Pure rice
powder is perfectly harmless and tends
to preserve the skin. Great care should
be taken to avoid all powders contain
ing metallic substances, as these are
exceedingly injurious.

A Girls Familiar Friend,

Ruth Ashmore, in summarizing her
paper on "A Girls Familiar FRIEND
girl friend-in Ladies' Home Journal,
offers this wise counsel: Have a
friend, but guard your friendship and
your friend as you would a crystal
vase" Once the crystal vase is broken
all the careful mending in the world
can never make it as it was, and once
there has come in your friendship the
words that Jared, the actions that
were unkind, and the looks that seem
to cut like a knife, the friendship, like
the beautiful vase, can never be as it
was. And what is a girl without a
girl friend? She stands alone. Men
think that she must differ from other
wolnen, and that there must be some
thing about her less sweet and less
feminine than that which pervades her
sisters. l am a believer in the girl
friend. Any girl can, with very little
trouble, gain the admiration of a man,
but it takes something finer, some
thing better and something more
charming to attract a woman, and to
make and keep her a friend. In all
the history Of the world there is moth
ing so fine as the friendship of wo-
men; whether it be given to men, OF
whether it be given to women, it
stands out magnificent, unselish, SYM
pathetic and Christlike.
The Dakota chief. (Gann Valley, Buffalo County, S.D.) 18??-1913, 1896-07-23

wife will be obliged to yield Difference
to his wishes at every point. A wo-
man who is also set in her ways will
not be likely to do this. When there is
very great disparity in the ages, as is
seen frequently, the wonder Is that the
young girls can be parties to such con-
tracts, though it is very wise for the
man when he at GO marries a girl Of
~. A woman of suitable age would
MT put up with his almost certain
crankineSS.
