FRIDAY EVENING. JAN %, 1858.

MoRMoNs.-Advices from Mecklen'
burg county say that the border coun'
ties of Virginia and North Carolina
have been invaded by some two huad-
red Mormon missionaries. The large
number of converts made in the rural
districts by the first delegation OF elder;
sent from Utah has encouraged th5
church there to send larger numbei
of the missionaries to that field. They
travel in pairs, without money or bag
gage, and depend upon the charity o
the people in the country throug1
which they pass for subsistence. This
f,rmers along the Roanoke don't lik
the attempted PROSECUTING of their fami
lies, however, and have served nolce
on the elders to leave that section ct
once. No violence has, however, been
offered the Mofmous.

4 GOOD COMPLEXION.


How Almost Every Woman Can Have
. Clear Skin.
There Ii no beauty more necessary to
make woman attractive than clear
skin, and this with very little trouble
almost all of us can attain.
The first thing necessary for q good
complexion is good digestion; indeed.
there are few human Ills that cannot be
laid at the door Of badly-working
liver. To remedy this one must of
course apply to ones doctor. Next to
this comes cleanliness. Everyone
should take warm bath once day.
Not jump in the tub and then out again,
but take scrubbing with first quality
Of soap. Afterward one should sponge
off with cold water; but there is no dam
ger anyway of catching cold, if one does
not go out for an hour. This rubbing
opens the pores and let's out all over the
body many impurities which otherwise
would find vent through the face.
The face itself should be washed night
and morning, good soap, and oat or
corn meal. After this rub gently but
firmly Into the skin for about five min
utes little cold cream. and the soften
ing effect of this treatment il almost
amazing. If one could wear flannel
mask for an hour or two during the
81, SO the skin would become very warm,
it would be of great benefit. Last. but
by no means least, avoid carefully
catching cold or sitting in damp shoes,
clothes or drauphts,
Strange as 1t may seem to the cas-
ual observer. one Of the greatest skin
beautifiers is an equal temper and a
regular life. I have seldom seen a
Quaker or woman belonging to a re-
ligious order without a good skin,
often to the age Of so; and am firm
~ convinced that it is entirely due to
the equable, passive lives they lead.
We can't all be Quakers or Sisters OF
Mercy. but we can get up, walk, take
our baths and eat our meals at regular
times, and this rule, If followed with
the other suggestions I have made.
is bound to have a most identifying
effect on the skin.-Amy Z. Hull. in

1t Looks Like Our. ..Tip Cat"
P. Kitty kondacheff writes of "Some
Russian Games" in st. Nicholas. One
Of them. bearing the name "Tchijick,"
is thus described:
The game 10 like your game "tip
cat" The word Tchijick. properly
translated. means "finch;" and whether
the game is so called on account of the
constant hopping of one of the players.
or from the way in which the wooden
"cone" is made to jump up and fly. is
not known. The players may amount
to any number, but Ave or six is the best
combination, SO as not to keep the
others waiting too long while the
striker" and hopper" as l will call
them, are at work. A circle Of about six
feet in diameter is traced on the ground,
in the center of which is deposited the
so-called tchijick, or finch, a round stick
of wood, six inches long, having each
end shaped something like cone. II
is either placed across a small hollow
in the ground, or with one end resting
on bit of stick or stone an inch or two
high.
The players, armed with short, stout
sticks, then draw lots so as to determine
by chance who is to begin the FIRST serv-
ice. and who is to do the hopping; the
others range themselves in order
around the circle, the striker taking his
place near the finch. The signal given
the striker serves the finch-that is, he
gives it smart rap with his stick over
one end. SO as to make II jump high up
and while in midair follows this with
one or more sharp raps. sending it rs
far out Of the circle as possible-the
farther the better. The hopper then
sets of, and must arrive at the exact
place where the finch falls, hopping
along on one foot. Lifting it up from
the ground. he must send it back, with
the aid of his stick, into the circle again,
If it fall on the lire, 1t is reckoned in,
Should he fail in doing this. or in arriv-
ing safely on one foot to where the
finch lies and back to his place again,
he remains hopper to the next service.
If, however. he passes both ordeals
safely, he takes his place among the
players again, while the striker turns
hopper, the boy next In order taking his
place.
The score Is reckoned in the follow.
ing way: A certain number Is fixed
upon previous to beginning the game
say, Is. Each time the striker hits the
finch he scores one. Now. good players
manage to touch it several times while
in midair, short. jerky cuts from the
wrist following swiftly on each other;
sometimes US many as five raps are
given in quick succession, the striker
always remaining within the limits OF
the circle. He scores the number oil
raps given, and the player who first
reaches the number previously agreed
upon wins. The striker is thus changed
after each service, while the hopper, un.
less he has good muscles and sure aim
often has to go through the hopping
process during many turns, thereby
sometimes missing his own turn OF
serving. II the stakes are nuts. candy
or anything of that sort, then each boy
loses to the winner as many as are
wanting in his score to make up the Is

They are excellent layers, averaging
from 100 to 100 eggs each in season.
They are nonsetters, hardy, easily
raised, and the earliest in maturing OF
any ducks. Other ducks are judged for
practical qualities by the Peklng.
The standardized Picking has long,
finely-formed head. bill Of medium
size, of a deep yellow color, that is per-
fectly free from any mark or color
other than yellow. The color of the bill

and it is not infrequent that one Of the
best ducks in showroom is disqualified
for having faint tracing of black in
the bill. The eyes are of deep leaden-
blue color. The neck Of a Picking
should be neatly curved; in the drake
il should be large and rather long. while
that of the duck is of medium length.
The back is long and broad; breast is
round, full. and very prominent. The
body is long and deep. and the standard
gives for adult birds body approach
ing the outlines of a parallelogram.
The wings are short. carried closely and
smoothly against the body. The birds
cannot sustain flight. two-foot fenc-
ing being ample to restrain them in
an inclousure. The tail is erect, more
SO than in any other specimen. The
curled feathers in the tail of the drake
are hard and stiff. The thighs are
short and large; shanks short and
strong, and in color are reddish
orange; toes straight, connected by
web. and reddish orange in color. The
pfumage is downy, and of a faint
creamy white throughout Recently
it has been noticed that preference In
the showroom is being given to birds of
whittier plumage. The breeders are Sc
