COLORs AND COMPLEXION.
Women should Know What They May
VICAR and What Not.

1t is surprising how few women con-
slider whether the colors they wear are
suited to their own particular CONS
pleNion or not, Not long since the styl-
ish color was that rich purple hue
known as petunia, and petunia was
forthwith massed on the hats and bon
nets of blonde ana brunette alike. To
some women it was absolutely fatal to
amy good looks they may have pos
se>Sed. Yet it is possible to be dressed
well and becomingly at the same time
by little study of color in conjunction
with ones personal appearance. Any
woman Who studies effect will soon see
that the color which intensifies the
color of her eyes is the one which is the
most becoming every time.
Pale blue and pink should be care
fully avoided by women with red hair.
as they eNaggerate rather than soften
the ma. urai coloring; but they wiz.
never make any mistake with the dark
shades of brown, especially the red
brown. Brown is also the color of a
.brown-eycd woman, as it will bring
out the beauty of her eyes as no other
color can, if she but chooses the right
hade. Gray is becoming to women
with gray hair, and to young women
who have gray eyes and lovely COM
pleNions, old or young, provided she Sc
lecls the right tint.
The blonde can wear pure white, with
out tinge of yellow or pink in it, but
the brunette must be careful to wear
the soft cream shades, and if she wears
black at all it must be very glossy, while
d pronounced blonde can safely deck
herself in the dull black which is used
for mourning. Green is pretty sure to
be suitable to every complexion, pro-
yiding one is fortunate enough to dis
cover the particular shade which har-
monies best with the coloring; and it
so happens that green is the leading
color this season, especially the strong,
dark shades of metallic green.-Boston

TEMPERANCE TIOlNGS.

Beer is never as fiat as the man who
drinks it.
1t is the character of the liquor, and
not the conditions under which it is sold
that concerns thoughtful men.

liquor and II towns for license.

equally as much to the point, too, that

they be good or evil. Their abstinence

SPEAKING TO THE DEAF.
A Mistake Is Often Made In Trying to
Enunciate Very Plainly.

Many people, and | am sorry to say
some teachers OF the deaf, fail to realize,
in practice at least, that speech is hot
as clearly visible to the eye as it is audi
Bile to the ear and think that by speak
ing slowly, word by word, and opening
their mouth to the widest extent, they
will render the task of the speech-read-
er easier. AS a matter of fact they rem
der it all the more difficult. y child ih
school may learn to understand teach
er who mouths his words in this man
ner, but this ability is OF no value to him
when he leaves school. Indeed, perfect
ly natural, deliberate speech is easier
to understand than the exaggerated
form of articulation which people ara
apt to use the moment they know they
are talking to a totally deaf person.
People who depend entirely upon
their experimenting for understanding
others have requested me, when intro
ducing them to strangers, not to say
that they were deaf, because they find
it easier to read the lips when the per
son speaking is not aware that he is
being understood in that way. | have

How the HabituaI Use of the Former
Renders the Treatment of the Latter
Impossible.
A man was recently brought into one
of the public hospitals of a large city
suffering from bruise. He had fallen
backward across a narrow obstruction
of some kind, and upon examination 4
was found that he had fractured one
Of the bones of the sfine. The back
was not what is commonly called
broken, but one of the bones was
cracked in such way that unless an
operation was performed and the pres
sure of the fragment upon the spinal
cord relieved, paralysis and probably
collapse would follow.
The operation, though comparatively
rare, is not excessively difficult, and
the mans chance for recovery would
have been at least an even one; bu:
when the surgeons ordered him to be
prepared for the operation, it was no
ticed that he bore marks of being adj.
dicted to drink. The operation was
Immediately abandoned, and the man
died within a week.
To the casual reader it might seem
case of professional heartIessness. But
the doctor knew-from sufficient eX
perience in just such cases-how pow
erless the man would be, worn out as
he was by indulgence, to withstand the
shock of an operation. And since cases
of similar sort are of frequent occur.
renee in all our large public and pri-
yate hospitals, it is worth while to in
quire into the cause OF such state
of affairs, and to draw from it a lesson
and perhaps a moral.
The downward course of a person
who becomes enslaved to stimulants fol-
lows a natural law. Beginning with
sufficient quantity of alcohol to pro-
duce certain pleasurable sensation,
lie finds himself, quite as a matter of
course, gradually increasing his daily
allowance.
Alcohol stimulates the various organs
of the body to increased work. BY this
increase of exercise the organ grows,
and the larger organ makes larger de-
mands. These demands the tippler in
terprets as Il call for more alcohol, and
so the round is continued.
Under excessive stimulation the sub
stance of the body begins to change
its character. Food which cannot be
used is stored up in the form of fat.

change their appearance and begin to
break down and decay. Then comes u

disturbance-Dnd the unfortunate vic.
