TIE SECRETS OF BEAUTY.
Hints to Delight the Feminine Heart.
How to Look Well

rhythm in the world, the splendors OF a
| sunset sky, the witching Of moonlight. The
crowning loveliness of "A creation is a beautiful

| hints for inducing beauty are. .as the sands
| Of the sea for numbers, and are rs varied in
| range and result as the colors that rest upon
| the leaves of autumn.
4 One Of the first requisites OF beauty has a
| rather cynical sound but modified is really
| good and sensible No heart and good di-
| gestion! This does not mean that one must
| be absolutely callous and Indifferent TO hu-
| man suffering. but il implies that one should
! not prolong needless regret and grief over in
| eyitable sorrows. A smile is often more ac-
| ceptable sympathy and cheer to a burdened
heart than a tear for smiles belong TO youth
| and Joy and content. and beauty inducers.
Proper atteS tion to food will guard against
| indigestion.
Absolute cleanliness OF body is another
requisite to beauty. Bathing night and morn
ing should be religiously adhered 10, no mat
ter tho state of the weather. Illness alone
should postpone ones accustomed hath.
To the constitution that can stand ii, u
cold bath on rising should be taken. II is a
superb tonic and clears the brain as well as
it invigorates the body.
Correct bathing. diet and exercise will do
much in the way OF making woman beautiful
and not one of these three important means
should be neglected..
Sleeping rooms should be well ventilated
and as much fresh air taken into the lungs as
possible.
The following is recommended as an excel
lent skin food: Melt together drachm of
spermaceti, drachm Of white wax, three
ounces of sweet oil Of almonds, two ounces of
anoline and one ounce of cocoa butter. Re
move from tho fire and beat until cold. Add
while you are beating twenty drops Of tinct
ure OF benzoine an ten drops of oil of rose.
Eating apples is said to assist in cleansing
the system and clearing the complexion. An
apple before breakfast and just before
going to bed is recommended for this pur-
pose.
An even, calm temper is "A wonderful beau
tiher. It keeps frowns from the brow,
wrinkles from the face and hard lines from
around the mouth.
Eat meats that are cooked rare, beef espec-
tally. This makes good, firm tissue and rich
blood. Mutton and veal should be cooked
thoroughly, though not with the substance
burned out.
Pure sweet cream is excellent for the skin;
drinking tea, coffee or chocolate to excess in
jures il.
Beauty sleep is absolutely essential. Try
to get at least eight hours sleep every night.

BROWN AND THE JOURNAL AGAIN.

The persistent malevoience OF the
Providence journal in dealing with home
institutions Is displayei I'm significant
way by it's treatment of the young men OF
tho Brown football team, as we noted the
other day. Over the shoulder of these
young men 1t seeks 10 deal the college
vicious blows and its report of tie game
OF last Saturday illustrates this in a very
peculiar way.
Thus: The reporter who wrote up the
game in New York, and presumably saw
IT, wired the Journal as follows: EVERY
New York paper tomorrow will roast tho
Providence team and accuse the players
of all kinds of dirty work., and then,
through the report were introduced sim
ilarly insidious suggestions Of brutality"
on the part Of the Brown players. as for
instance, this refreshing It'd bit: 1T was
claimed that a Brown man struck Bemis
Pierce of the Indians near the side lines
and" (mark this y although the lndi-
ans themselves made no complaint, the
mob wanted to do up the Brown players.
1t will occur to the reader that the Jour
nal reporter was anxious To "do up" the
Brown PLAYERS, at any rate.
Now, hardly day has gone by since
then that the Journal has failed to refer
to that game of football and attack the
young men of the Brown team and the
institution because Of it.
What were the facts? The News had no
representative on tho field, except through
tho Associated Press and cannot state of
it's own knowledge how the Brown boys
conducted themselves. Ii is safe to say
however, as they were playing foot
ball and not tldaledy- -wlnks and as the
Indians were men and not bric-a-brac,
that the game was played with consider
able robustness. But except in tho Provi-
dence Journal we have failed to discover
line in any newspaper rejecting on the
manly play OF the Blown football
men. Note that the Journals reporter
himself does not directly accuse the
boys OF undue roughness or
brutality. He confesses that the In
dians made no complaint But he is
awfully afraid that the New York papers,
having no feeling of friendlincss for the
representatives of IA college in some other
city, will "accuse the players of all
kinds of dirty work" The Journals un-
founded accusation is thus veiled in its
the New York papers did nothing of tho
sort They reported the game In the
ordinary way and number Of them
praised the restraint and manliness Of
the Brown players in putting up such u
fair game despite tho strong hostility to
them i'm the crowd of spectators and
the actual attempts OF mob to
break into the game and Interrupt the
play in the Indians favor. Perhaps never
has team played under circumstances so
irritating to the nerves and destructive
of that good temper which should ever
distinguish true sport. 1t was a trying
ordeal. But, excepting tho columns of
the Providence Journal we Lave been
quite unable to find any hostile criticism
Of the team. 1t remained for the Journal
to vent its spite on the college by slander-
ing these young mon who represent it in
the field of manly sport.
