SCIENCE OF THE TOILET.
How the Women of To-Day Manage
to Preserve n Youthful Appear
ance for Decades.

The modern maiden has learned in
an exquisite way the science of the
care of her person; she does not early
acquire wrinkles, neither does she lose
her hair, nor so early have to bear the
signs of advancing years by its turn
ing gray. The secret, for such it is.
of this preservation is one that all
women should know; it surely is more
charming for the world to gaze upon a
fresh youthful face than upon a shriv-
eled one, and upon an abundance of
locks than upon too scanty a growth
to even cover the head. Begin the day
with a cold or tepid sponge bath, fol-
lowed by vigorous rubbing with
rough towel. This starts the circula-
ton into almost a bound and does
much to preserve the plumpness of
face, neck and arms, beside rendering
colds almost impossible. An occasion
al hot bath with plenty of good soap,
followed by a sponging in cold water,
is taken at night, but not more fire.
quently than twice a week, as hot
baths are enervating and encourage a
loose, fabby condition of the skin.
After the hot bath at night cold cream
or lanolin is rubbed vigorously into the
face or, if there are signs of yellow
spots, zinc oxide ointment is substi-
tuted. The face is washed each morn<
ing with handfuls of hot water, then
immediately with cold water, thus
stirring the circulation and aiding in
keeping the muscles plump. The face
Is then rubbed gently up and down and
across with both hands-a dry wash,
IN fact-rubbing particularly any
wrinkling across the forehead. This
is the ironing-out of the face, prepare
tory to the appearance for the day,
Wrinkles develop by lack of supple
mess and plumpness of the skin, and
by careful massage. The hair receives
especial attention on the part of the
assiduous maiden, and particular care
Is paid to the roots, for one should
know that if they are healthy the
growth will be satisfactory. And she
wears her hair much more loosely
than does her less diligent companion,

preserves Its growth. Each day the
hair is separated at the roots and the
air allowed to freely circulate through
1t. 1t is serious error to worship the
brush, and treat the scalp in such a
way as to weaken and kill the roots.
For victims of the brush it is easy
to point to many men, who daily brush
and brush-the sitter the implement
the better. Badness is the certain
outcome. A fine-toothed comb is like
wise stunned as an enemy to the roots
of the hair. In warm weather it is
prudent to wash the hair with
preparation containing alcohol, which
dries the scalp and renders perspira
ton less profuse, this unpleasant fea-
ture of the summer affecting the roots
of the hair most alarningly. Very
oily hair is washed with a shampoo
containing sulphur, while a very dry
scalp is treated to a light application
of cream or lanolin.-Edna S. Wither-
spoon, in BUTTERFLIES Delineator.

1t will surprise a good many people
to know that there are poultrymen
who send to market infertile eggs that
have been incubated by hens or in the
incubator from five to nine days, at
which time those growing poultry
usually test for fertility. There is
nothing very honest about this, but
many man who makes a row because
he did not get hatch of IA chicks out
of sitting of 10 eggs will do it. In
fertile eggs do not become rotten when
incubated for the time named.-Da,

FertiIizinr the Orchard

There is reason for believing that
the orchard needs fertilizing even
more than the ordinary field crops. A
part of the fertilizing element of the
latter is returned to the soil each
year. The plant food that is taken up
in the orchard is taken away from
the soil forever. None is returned to
1t. 1t is estimated that in a single
season an acre of apple trees will draw
from the soil 40 pounds of nitrogen, 3s
pounds of phosphoric acid and "a
pounds of potash. These must be re-
turned or the productiveness of the
orchard will be lost.-Farmers' Re-
view.

Blissful Awakening.

What palace is this? Why, this looks
like heavenl 1t is. 1t is. Why, there is
building grander than all the castles
of earth heaved into mountain of
splendor-that must be the palace of
Jesus. And look there at those walks
lined with foliage more beautiful than
anything [ ever saw before, and see
those who are walking down those aisles
of verdure. From what [ have heard Of
them those two arm and arm must be
Moses and Joshua, him of Mount Sinai
and him of the hating sun over Gideon,
and those two walking arm in arm
must be John and Paul, the one so
gentle and the other SO mighty.
''But I must not look any longer at
those gardens of beauty, but examine
this building in which I have just
awakened. | look out of the window
this way and that and up and down, and
I find it is q mansion of immense size
in which [ am stopping. All it's win
dows of agate and it's colonades of por-
phyry and alabaster. Why, 1 wonder if
this is not the house of many man
sions, of which used to read? 1t is. 1t
is. There must be many of my kindred
and friends in this very mansion. Hark
Whose are those voices? Whose are
those bounding feet? I open the door
and see, and 10, they are coming through
all the corridors and up and down all
the stairs, our long absent kindred.
Why, there is father, there is mother,
there are the children. All we'll again.
All young again. All of US together
again. And as we embrace each other
with the cry, Never more to part /;
never more to part, the arches, the al
coves, the Railways echo and re-echo
the words, Never more to part; never
more to part!' Then our glorifed friends
say, Come out with us and see heaven.
And some of them bounding ahead of
US and some Of them skipping beside
us we start down the ivory stairway,
and we meet coming up one of the kings
of ancient Israel, somewhat small of
stature, but having a countenance
radiant with a thousand victories, and
as all are making obeisance to this
great one OF heaven I cry out, Who is
hep and the answer comes: This is the
greatest of all the kings. It is David,

Glorious Sleep.
I confess to you that my one wish is
to serve this generation, not to antag-
onize it, not to damage it, not to rule
it, but to serve it. I would like to do
something toward helping unstrap it's
load, to stop it's tears, to balsam its
wounds and to induce it to put foot on
the upward road that has at it's termi-
nus reclamation rapturous, and gates
pearline, and garlands amaranthine,
and fountains rainbowed, and domin-
ions enthroned and coroneted, for can
not forget that lullaby in the closing
words of my text, "David, after he had
served his own generation by the will
of God, fell on Sleep What lovely
sleep it was Unflial Absalom did not
trouble it. Ambitious Adonijah did not
worry it. Prosecuting Saul did not har-
row it. Exile did not fill it with night
mare. Since a redheaded boy amid his
fathers focks at night he had not had
such good sleep. At 70 years of age
he laid down to it. He had had many a
troubled sleep, as in the caverns of
Adullam or in the palace at the time
his enemies were attempting his cap
ture. But this was a peaceful sleep,
calm sleep, restful sleep, glorious
sleep. "After he had served his genera

about the size Of a quarter dollar, ana
over an inch deep.
1t appears that the wrench thrown by
Vernon struck the door first and then
rebounded and hit young Sterling.

court for the release OF his son, stat
Ing that the affair was purely acci-
dental, and no matter what the result
might be he would he responsible for

this kind no discrimination could be
made by the court as It was case in

all must be treated alike. He. how
ever, requested Dr. Ogle to notify him
at the earliest moment possible when
he considered Sterling out OF danger
and he would then admit Vernon &C
