The Value d Magazine Literature.

Inc monthly reviews have most OF
the advantages and few OF the disad-
vantages OF the daily press. Like the
newspapers. they must furnish articles
Wnlch nave value in themselves: and
the articles must be timely Thew
must be written, too, by men or women
VINO can command attention. But the
newspaper IS ephemeral. It's collection
OF racts and its editorial discussions
are hurried and haphazarJl. What else
can pc expected when the history Of
the world for day is to be written in
day. and IT'S philosophy and practice
distilled? 1t is not SO with the review.
1t does not cater to the lower order OF
intelligence: its public is select. It's
work may be laid out for a year in ad
vance; Its contributors may he selected
with the greatest care. and in many
cases they have time to do their work
after research and elaboration; while
every new genius brings his offerings
to the judgment-seat Of the editor. that
he may obtain an audience for his
cherished offspring.
In the reviews one may feel the pulse
Of society, follow the movements Of the
people. enter into the inner policies of
prime ministers, study the course o.
Spain in the Philippines; of Russia and
England in China; of England, France
and Germany in Africa. One may
catch the spirit of ancient and modern
art. and observe the birth and growth
of great economic and religious institu-
tions. He who would be equipped for
a life Of thought, for the discussion of
the great problems of nature and hu-
manity as viewed by experts, must
keep himself informed in magazine
literature.
The clergyman will find the maya
zines of more value than his denomina-
tional paper; since in this larger
forum appear not merely the members
of his own theological party, but men
of all parties, and the discussions are
carried on by the ablest disputants and
in truly catholic spirit. The politi-
clan must listen and ponder when his
opponent, far from heated caucus, adj
dresses him in the quiet of his library
and in the calm utterances of the re-
views. For the scientist and the finan-
cler the review becomes well-regu-
lated clearing house, in which obliga-
lions are recognized and adjusted

Intercollegiate Debating.

For many persons, nothing has a great
err attraction than the various forms of
Intercollegiate contests. In the rail- term,
foot ball is in vogue; during the winter,
there are track athletics; and the college
year is closed with base ball and rowing.
Among the conflicts. the great debates
between rival colleges occupy a unique
position; for they are virtually the only
contests in which are exhibited to the
public not physical power and endurance,
but intellectual skill and grasp.
Investigation shows that not few OF
our great men acquired in this way their
incentive to effort, and their earliest
training for later achievements. Among
the records of the debating societies of
counts of the debates between the late
President Garfield and Ex-senator In
gals. The occasions when these two
were pitted against each other,-occa-
sions when even standing room was at a
premium,-are well remembered. 1t is in
teresting to note how plainly the charac-
teristics of these distinguished men were
already visible in this college work. "A
scribes Garfield as a 'slow debater," but
cool. reliable, showing excellent judg-
ment, and descending with unerring ac-
curacy and force on his opponents weak
points; while Ingalls, was quick, bril-
liant, sarcastic. and lightning-like in
thought and expression.
In the early sixties, debating began
gradually to decline in interest. This
may have been due to a general depres-
sion in educational work; for nearly ev-
cry institution suffered a diminution in
numbers and, consequently, a reduction
of activity in all departments. About fif-
teen years ago. when matters collegiate
were reviving, the great athletic contests
came into being; absorbing the attention
of the students. Debating, however, con-
tinued dormant.
1t is only within the last few years that
the great intercollegiate debating leagues
have been formed: giving to this work
the stimulus of public notice. But once
education has made more rapid progress.

Beauty and the Toilet.

Cleanliness is. of course, the first re-
4uisite OF beauty, says Inc American
queen. All the pores of the skin must
be kept open, and not those only upon
the face, neck and arms, for if these por-
tons OF the body alone receive attention,
they being the most unobstructed sur
faces, will the sooner show an ill-humor
of the blood: therefore, to have a beauti-
ful face necessitates a perfectly clean
ably every day, Is the least that the body
requires, while the face neck, shoulders
and arms require daily bathing with plen-
ty of warm water and soap. If soap be
used but once a day IT should be at night,
though pure soap used night and morn
ing will not injure the skin. After wash
ing, the soap should be thoroughly rinSed
off with several waters and the drying
should be done by general rubbing,
which stimulates the circulation of the
blood and dissipates incipient wrinkles.
After this process has been gone through,
If the skin has no tendency to greasiness,
very little cold cream, or any other
sition, rubbed well into the pores. will
Danish all tendency to wrinkles or rough
ness. In the morning. the cream may be
washed off with soap and water, or with
rinsing water should be cold, to counter
act any relaxation caused by the warm
water.
While speaking of bathing, let me add
a word about the internal bath, which
should consist, Immediately upon rising
of one or more glasses of water as hot as
you can bear when the liver is inactive,
otherwise cool. Far too little water is
taken into the system by most of us. 1t
has remarkably beneficial effect upon
the health and personal appearance.
The complexion depends upon the
| health of an individual. Therefore. when
health, and when leanneSs accompanies

thing radically wrong, systematic exer-
else, regularly and cOnScientiouSly prac-
ticed, one. two or three hours every day
part of this time could be advantageously
spent in a gymnasium, though energetic
walking will be found an efficient means
play-early hours and lain, nourishing
foods will bring a clear, healthful glow to
the cheeks and a surprising amount of
firm. solid flesh upon the Scantily covered
bones, while, If too much color and too
much flesh are the cause of anxiety, the
same sort of treatment will have an OPP
posite effect, and moments considera-
Those folks who have a superabun-
dance of flesh and a high color are usually
averSe to exercise, and are fond of the
good things of life. A continuance of
their mode of living exaggerates the ten
dency to avoirdupois. which a systematic
course of exercise would diminish; while
simple foods, not highly seasoned, are
easily digested, and. while nourishing the
body, do not enrich the blood to any in
ordinate degree.
To sum up all that has been said on this
subject in a few words-a daily BATH sys-
tematic exercise, plain nourishing foods,
and regular hours are alone the requis-
ties of beauty; and though in many
cases it is too late to obtain perfect
complexion, it is not too late to improve
that which, possibly through inattention,
has been married.

Clerical Tales.

The wife of a rural English dean invited
the clergy to tea and ordered cakes from
the local confectioner. These arrived in
due time, beautifully iced and each dec
GRATED with the monogram II H s. in
icing. The confectioner evidently thought
he was doing the correct thing for
clerical party, but the cakes were careful
ly cut in pieces before they were sent to
the table.
A Milwaukee clergyman on returning
from funeral was greeted at the door

expressive of the deepest concern and her

A tedious preacher had preached the
assize sermon before Lord Yelverton. He
came down smiling to His Lordship after
the service and. expecting congratula-
tons on his effort, asked: "Wel, My
Lord, how did you like the sermon?"
"Oh, most wonderful replied Yelverton
1T was like the peace Of God-it passed
all understanding; and. like His mercy,

opened the services Precipitation oozed
from the faces Of the just and the UNI

discomfort when he mounted the pulpit to
preach his sermon. He gazed at the
faithful for a moment and began In this
most unorthodox manner: "Brethren,
it's hot. and SO say comfort before
pride. With that ne shed his heavy
pulpit and preached his sermon in his
shirt-sleeves.

Ot8te6.
The mayor of Somersville, Mass.
who is q member of the Grand Ar
my of the republic, has written q
letter to the W. G. McKinly Post,
condemning that portion of the
Presidents address at Atlanta pro-
posing the care of Confederate c.
meteries. In his letter he goes on
to gushingly say: II love the
South and her people, and no one
rejoices more than l at the splen-
did spectacle of a reunited coun-
try, presented during the recent
war with Spain. But l cannot be-
lieve that it is the duty of the ma
ton to give the same attention to
the graves of the men who sought
to destroy it as to the resting pls-
ces of those who died for its pre-
servation. God forbid that any
word should come from my lips
or pen calculated to revive the sad
memories of the past. Let US ex-
tend the warm hand of fellowship
to our Southern brothers. Let us
give to them ungrudginly our love.
But let US not do any act or ap-
prove any policy from which flu
ture generations may infer that
the great American Republic in
the closing years of the nineteenth
century had become 30 blind that
she could not distinguish between
her saviors and her would-be des-
troyers."
So. What is this sort of ''love"
worth? But our good frien can

his shirt on, in the vernacular.
The South can preserve her own
cemeteries and take care of her
own veterans. There is some talk
of taking the latter into the SOL

deral veterans. This goes beyond
McKinley's cheap sentimentally,
not a particle of which is the gen.
uine article-all, all, is mockery
and got off for political effect.
