Washing the Face.

The method of washing the face daily
is Of great Importance. as even if one
only washesi it twice a day the operation
has to be gone through 700 times in the
course Of a yetr, and this would natur-
ally affect it for good or evil Highly
scented or highly eolored soaps should
be avoided, and one which gives a sof,
lather and does not cause any feeling OF
irritation Is the best. Theso should
be well rubbed into the face with
clean piece Of flannel, and then bathed
of in a blsinfdl Of absolutely clean wat
e., 50 that every particle Of soap may be
removed. After thoroughly bathing,
the face should bedried with Turkish
towel, and then, if the skin be coarse
aud thick, it may be rubbed with q
rough towel, bat il the skin is at all sen
sitive very soft towel should be used,
aud the face finally well rubbed over
with a piece of chamOis leather. Gentle
friction of the face with soft leather, or,
better still, with the finger tips, when
clean, tends to remove lines and to pre-
vent the formation Of wrinkles. Iflines
nave formed the skin should be rubbed
in a direction contrary to their length,
as, forexample, ifthere are vertical lines
between the two eyebrows, they should
be rubbed from side to side; if there are
straight lines across the forehead they
should be rubbed down from the hair
70 the root Of the nose and back again.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by l5eal applications, as they can not
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con
diiion Of the mucous lining of the Eu-
staehian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it IS en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it,
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine eases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infiamed condition Of the
mucous surfaces

The Curse Of a Mother.

Two weeks ago, Joseph Williams,
fireman on the Northern Pacific Coast
passenger train, in a moment Of insan-
ity threw himself into the firebOx Of
his locomotive, and was instantly burn
ed TO death.
The frightful manner in which Viii
liams ended his life brings to light the
fact that he was the victim Of woman's
curse. 1t was stated by railroad men
that the fireman was running the
switch engine in the Mandan y. ID. >
yards at the time young girl was run
down and crippled for life. She subse
quently came into prominence through
the appeals Of her friends for postage
stamps, with which TO enable her to
procure artificial limbs. The mother
of the girl, who appeared in the yard
very shortly after the accident, assailed
the young engineer with all the Ian
guage at her command, and finally
wound up with:
"May the God above Us, that loves
my girl, end your days in the tirebox OF
your own enginer'
This was several years ago, but the
words rang in the ears Of the man who
recently leaped into the furnace TO his
death. He could not forget the words;
they were with him constantly. He
seemed to hear them repeated every
moment, and il was the mothers curse
that finally drove him to take his life
Il was an irresistible impulse that came
over him on that fatal morning when
he was on duty in the fireman's cab;
the fire charmed him. There was in
the blaze a sort Of fascination that i'm

Faithful Unto Death.

Ti.e NvN Haven friends of Miss Lu-
cInda Day learned recently OF her death
in Springfield, Mass. She was 81 years
old aud a representative of one Of the
oldest families in New England. She
had lived all her life, with the excep-
ton Of a few years spent in New Haven,
in the old Day homestead.
Miss Day was the eldest daughter Of
Aaron Day aud was born November ;,
1910. The old homestead Is near Park
Church, in West Springfield. It is a
quaint old house, landmark in the
town, aud was never shown 10 visitors
without the accompaniment of a roman
tic story Of love aud cOnstancy.
Seventy years ago Miss Day had a
love affair The lover was a sailor; on
his departure for his last voynge, Miss
Day promised tD PlAes every night
lighted candle in the window to greet
him if he returned BY night. He never
returned, bu, Miss Day never abandon
ed hope Of seeing him again and last
night was the first in several years that
candle has not shone in the window.
1t was because the hand that 50 faith
fully performed that duty was cold in
death.
Mss Day was the eldest Of six chill
dren, all Of whom lived to more than
{ ,e allotted three-seove aud ten years.
Her early life was spent at home, where
she was educated in the public aud pri-
yate schools. After her maturity she
taught school for some time at River
dale. Later she came to New Haven to
continue her studies. While here she
started a small private school which
she c0nGucted for about year.
Miss Day was up and about until
within a few days of her death, al
though she suffered a stroke Of paraly-
sis few years ago. Her last illness
was but Of few days duration. She
leaves three sisters-Miss Lydia Oakes
aud Mrs. Eanice Bliss widowo Israel
Bliss, both Of whom resided with herin
the old homestead, and Mrs. Amanda
Mussell, of Amherst.
A brother and sister died several
years ago. She also leaves two cousins

School, Horace Day, Of New Haven.
The Old Day homestead is one Of the
most picturesque places in town. 10
was built in 1874 by Miss Days great
grandfather, Josiah Day, on land own
ed By the first minister of that vicinity.
Tradition says that back of the hoass
was an underground passage running
for some distance away to theriver. Ii
was supposed to have been used by the
old time settlers IS a means Of escape
from the Indians. Atthe time ofshey's
rebellion, the followers of Shey entered
the house on 4 f0rAging tour aud made
free use of what they found. Miss
