Process Said to Be Soothing and Beno.
 ficlal to Complexion.
 Did you ever try face shampoo :. If not, try it once, and you will not stop with the one trial After morn. ing of hard shopping, when everything has gone wrong, or after wearisoms day with the children, go to your room. wash your face in the hottest water that can be borne, with sponge rubbed with little glycerine and pure castillo soap. When the face Is in a fine, soft lather, rub with almond-meal until dry: bathe with clear hot water until all the soap and meal have been removed. after which use cold water until the face feels cold and the flesh firm. Dry gently, and with a soft linen cloth mois. tened in cologne rub the eyebrows and all about the roots of the hair. A dash of rice-powder takes off the shine and does no harm.
 By this time you are ready for T flannel neglige and slippers; then take a cup of hot tea with lemon in it, tuck yourself snugly away beneath down coverlid, and give yourself up to quiet sleep or pleasant day-dreams; and when you come back again to earth all will have rosy hue and you will love even your worst enemy.-Chicago Tribune.

A Bright-Eyed Flower Hoy.

A London paper says that some time ago Princess Maud went shopping strictly incog. While she was walking along the street she was accosted by a little street Arab who was the happy possessor of pair of large, pathetic brown eyes end tangled crop of curly brown hair. He was busily engaged in the absorbing task of earning his living (and, perhaps, some one clse's as well) by retailing fresh spring flowers, pen ny and tuppence bunch" The princess stopped by Linn, and, while choosing some flowers, she was little startled by the lad saying, in an excited and familiar whisper: Its all right, miss, knows yer.' The princess smilingly shook her head in denial. "Yes, 1 do knows yer" (mnre emphatically). "Yes, Princess Maud, twigged yer di. dectly."-Detroit Free Press.

Stain and Polish for Floors.

Of all stains and polshes to use for floors the cheapest and most durable stain is permanganate of potash. Pour a quart of boiling water on half an ounce of permanganate of potash crystals. Apply this hot to the boards. It will look red at first, but soon becomes a good brown. See that the boards are perfectly clean and dry, then with a large painters brush apply the stain. When this is dry give a second coating if necessary. Wash the brush in soft soap and soda. using plenty of warm water, dry it and then give the boards coat of linseed oil, mixed with a good drying medium. When the oil has dried in begin polishing with the usual bees wax and turpentine. Two or three rubbings with this will be necessary be- fore good surface is obtained.

Advice to Literary Aspirants.

Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, in telling of her struggles to achieve fame and for tune, says: Do notwrite, if you can earn a fair living at teaching or dressmaking. at electricity or hod-carrying. Make shoes, weed cabbages, survey land, keep houses, make ice cream, sell cake. climb telephone pole. Nay, be lightning rod peddler or a book agent, before you set your heart upon it that you shall write for living. Do anything honest, but do not write unless God calls you and publishers want you and people read you and editors claim you. Editors do not care drop of ink for inf fluence. An editor will pass by an old writer any day for an unknown and gifted new one, with power to say thing in fresh way. Do not flirt with your pen."

WOMAN AND HOME.
BRAVE MOTHER IBRAHiM.
\ French Woman Soldier Who Has Been
 in Many Battles.

\ French Woman Soldier Who Has Been in Many Battles. A woman T3 years of age is an active and useful mc mber Of the French army. She has been wounded many times, seri- ously in many cases, but appears to have many years of activity still before her.
 Her last adventure was to fall off her bicycle. which she had just learned to ride, and open an old wound. She has already recovered from that little acci- dent.
 Mother Ibrahim, as this remarkable old person is called, is the cantiniere of the Second zouaves. She has followed her regiment all over the world, sharing all its perils and hardships. She ex- posed herself to fire as cheerfully as the bravest soldier in the regiment.
 The cantinieres of the French army are famous in song and story, and their services are often very valuable. They carry water and other kinds of drinks and refreshments, and many wounded soldier has owed his life to their aid.
 It is peculiarly interesting to call at- tention 10 this old woman just now, be- cause many people are under the im- pressior that women have only begun to do extraordinary things within the past few years. The venerable cantinicre was hard at work, tramping round the world and taking her part in battles, years and years before the present craze about women's achievements was heard of. It will be found on examination that in all ages some women have been in the habit of doing strange things.
 Mother Ibrahim was born in Egypt, the daughte" of a soldier of the great Napoleon. She married non-commis- stoned officer of Turcos, who is now dead.
 In appearance she is small, upright and wrinkled. Her eyes are black and lively, her hair is white, but thick. Her whole bearing is military and alert.
 Her usual uniform includes zouave turban and very loose zouave trousers. She Was therefore a pioneer of the bloomer movement, although no one thought ofhrr as T great dress reformcr.
 She also wears the red ribbon of the cross of the Legion of Honor. the mili- tary medal and the medals of the Crimea. Italy and Tunis, all of which have been conferred upon her.
 She has so many wounds that she can hardly count them. Nine she thinks

 Stumps of old trees that have out lived their usefulness and bee relega- ted to the wood pile are not uncom- monly seen upon lawns, and many at tempts are made to turn them to artia- tic and useful account.

Four rustic supports or brackets are placed underneath at the four corners.

SHORE ACRES -

SHORE ACRES.
When asked why he made such a
wide departure in writing Shore
Acres" from the so-called modern
drama. Mr.. Herne replied: Simply TO
represent life as it is, and not hide it
behind the mark OF artificiality, which
is unreal and away from the true pur-
pose of the drama. Science, mechanics
and art in almost every form, except
the dramatic, has advanced, and why
should the latter stand still? Fidelity
to life as it is. and not as it is so gen
orally depicted upon the stage, should
be the standard for the dramatist. II
is this fidelity TO life that has made
Shore Acres" such a pronounced sue
cess throughout the country. It's au-
thor has avoided all technical rules OF
the drama. Opera house, Wednesday

after the New York run that the own

suggesting the best name for the play
and a young fellow up in Wisconsin
called it "a Cold Day When we Get
Left" and won the prize. Since that
time the company has been under the
management of Perkins D. Fisher, as
