she possesses at least some one attractive
feature and strives to make the most of that.
But mere regularity Of feature is not the
most attractive form of beauty.
Mankind is more influenced by the bright

nutrition. The digestive and blood making

ment from the food, and the liver is too slug

The only perfect antidote for this state of

More money is expended in the Uni
ted States for cigars than for all the
common schools in the country, says
the Philadelphia Record. 1t has been
estimated that the cost Of washing
linen that might just as we'll have been
worn at least two days longer amounts
to enough in the country to more than
defray the expenses of the American
board of foreign missions. The ex-
penses of butt ons on the backs OF our
coats, where they are of no earthly ase,
is equal to the support Of all car or
phan asylums It is estimated thas the
value OF old boots that might haye been
worn day longeris more tnan enough
to buy flannel night gown for every
baby in the land. Also, that the cost
Of every inch of the full shirt collars
of our young men is equal to the sum
necessary to put Bible IN the hands
of every Hottentot in South Africa
And if every man had his hair cut every
two weeks the BARRIERS would get rloh.

following: More artssian water was

important, discovery, as it will tend to
