FLUSHED FACES.

Plethoric people are great sufferers from
flushing. and for these is recommended
active exercise a very limited diet and an
occasional dose of aperient medicine. The
following recipe is recommended for full
blooGed girls who suffer from flushed
condition of face: Take a teaspoonful Of
charcoal. mixed to a syrup with honey and
water. for three nights. and then take a
dose Of purgative medicine TO remove it
from the system.
Nervous depression. over-work. grief and
worry Will produce these sudden heats
and hushes. In such cases a tonic and
change Of air and scene are needed. Flush
ing may be checked by putting the hands
and feet into hot mustard and water, or by
simply bathing the face in hot water.
Reading or writing while taking a meal
should on no account be INDUCED in; nor
should hot drinks. such as tea or coffee, be
taken with meat
Red noses, which are so very unsightly.
and ruin the prettiest face. are too often
caused by tight lacing. Great care should
be taken that no laces or bandages pre-
vent free circulation in any part of the
body. Ripe fruit, such as pears, oranges
or figs. should be eaten before breakfast;
or. if these cannot be procured, stewed
prunes may be substituted.

down Burnet avenue. 1he gas jets popped
into flame, first on one side of the street
and then on the other, as he pursued his
god-lke mission.
How do you like your job?" asked, as
he trudged along with his ladder over his
shoulder and his torch in his hand, Pro-
metheus in embryo.
They always give the meanest jobs to
the little fellows" he answered.
How can one job be worse than another,
when the lamps are all of the same height
and equally far apart?" I inquired.
