A TOILET NECESSITY.
Why Lemons should Find n Place on
the Toilet Table of Every SEN
sibIe American Woman.

No woman should be without lemons
on her toilet table. They are about as
necessary nowadays as soap, so those
who believe in them say.
"Lcmonsl" exclaimed a woman who
believes In them religiously. why, l
wouldn't be without lemons a whole
day for anything. 1 once heard of a
French woman who was considered the
most beautiful woman of her time, and
she attributed her good looks to eat
ing eight oranges day for 365 days In
the year. I'd be willing to bet on IL
that lemons will do far more toward
Identifying woman than oranges.
Lemons beautify one through and
through, outside and In. Nothing in the
world bleaches the skin, hands and face
like little diluted lemon juice applied
at night, and. strange to say, unlike
most bleaches, IL softens the complex
ion. Then the finest of manicure acids
Is made by dropping teaspoonful of
lemon juice in cup OF tepid water.
This removes oil stains from nails and
skin and loosens the cuticle naturally
and much better than any sharp instru-
ment. A dash of lemon juice in plain
water is an excellent tooth wash, re-
moving not only the tartar, but sweet
ening the breath, and teaspoonful Of
the juice In small cup Of black coffee
will drive of bilious headache before
the sufferer can say caterpillar. Life

FOR dinner a clear soup, followed By
a red meat, either beef or mutton,
broiled, boiled or roasted, or any of the
wild meats, with one starchy vegetable,
such as rice, potato or stewed macaroni,
and one green vegetable simply cooked.

IN The STOCKS.
Ono OF the Minor Punishments Of
Puritan Days.

One OF the Minor Punishments Of
Puritan Days.
One of the marked tendencies Of the
present age is said to be an overrefne-
ment of the analysis of sensation,
whether physical or mental; a habit
of regarding in a moral aspect much
that was once dismissed as purely ply
steal. So. in dwelling on some of the
"minor" punishments of Puritan days.
the mental sufferings of the unhappy
beings who were exposed to the ig-
nominy of the market place have come
to be considered as the chief part Of
their punishment. An account drawn
from an old record, however, testifies
that the physical discomforts of such
q position were by no means to be ig-
nored.
One Mr.. Hubbard was sentenced In
Boston TO the stocks, for having in
dulged in an unwarrantable fit OF i'll
temper. When he had taken his seat,
under the order TO remain there for the
rest of the day, there presently came
along drove of swine, which seemed 70
cast upon him those leering looks that
only a fat pig can bestow. A dog fol-
lowed, shifting at the prisoners feet, and
making feints-unpleasantly approach
ing reality-of biting him. Then a
cock, mounting to the very top of the
stocks, crowcd his derision upon the
victim below; and presently a rough
fellow after INDUCING in ugly taunts,
threw at him fetic, toadstools and dead
snake.
Then an Indian appeared, who in
drunken rage, stimulated by some fan
cied injury, rushed at Mr.. Hubbard with
tomahawk. probably intending moth
ing worse, however, than to give him
severe fright-which he certainly sue
ceeded in doing.
Help came from an unexpected quar-
ter; for ut that moment an old bull
came tearing down the road. His at
tention was attracted by the stocks, and
with n roar he prepared for charge.
Alarmed in his turn, the savage darted
off. The bull made dash at the stocks,
and carried away the corner post, but
without even grazing the object of his
apparent wrath. Whether he was dis
gusted by the little he had accomplished
or his luminosity was thus satisfied, he
started Off believing and shaking his
head, much to the relief of Mr.. Hubbard.
And then the unfortunate man was
left in comparative peace 10 his own
meditations and the cutting sleet OF

next day. The amanuensis arrived, and
sat, pen In hand, waiting for the dicta-
ton TO begin.
Goldsmith paced the room with great
solemnity at first and then with rapidly
increasing disturbance Of mind and fea-
lures. At last ne came to n sudden halt

LECTURE BY COL. PATTERSON,
Delivered at Historical Society Hall Satu,
 day Evening.

Colonel Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville Courier-J Journal, lectured at the Historical society hall on Grove street Saturday evening on Money and Morals to a large audience com posed of some of the most intelligent and prominent people in New Haven, While in New Haven Colonel Waiter son was the guest of ex-Judge Lynde Harrison, and at the close of the lec- ture was rendered a reception at the Harrison residence on Hillhouse ave- nue. The distinguished speaker was introduced by Judge Harrison and spoke in his usual vigorous style, car rying conviction with his utteranoes. He was listened to with close attention and was frequently applauded during the course of his talk At the close of the lecture Colonel Watterson was ask ed to express his views of the present relations between the United States and Spain, and to give his opinion as to what the outcome would be. He declined, however, to talk upon the subject, saying that he did not believe in talking very much at such time as this and that the lass said until some thing happens the better.
