A REMEDY FOR A DRY SKIN.

A REMEDY FOR A DRY SKIN.
When the skin is constitutionslly OF a
dry nature, and liable to become rough
and irritable at almost every change In
the weather, il Is generally desirable to
apply, at least once day, good emol-
lient preparation. Cold cream OF al
monds is an excellent specific for this
purpose. To make it, mix together four
ounces Of oil Of almonds, half an ounce
Of white wsx, and half an ounce Of sper-
maeeti. These ingredients should be
put in jar. Set the jar Ia a saucepan
Of water over slow heat, and mix the
ingredients thoroughly together. When
the mixture Is smooth liquid, stir In
two ounces Of orange flower water; mix
well, and store in an earthenware pot.
Simple olive oil Is also an excellent
unguent for use on the skin. There Is
no danger from the use Of vegetable oils.
A great many people with naturally dry
skin use little simple oil after bathing.
and for this purpose vegetable oil, like
oil Of almonds or olive oil, is to be pre-
ferred to anything else.
CAMPHoR ICE FOR THE HANDS.
Camphor ice, which is made with
olive-oil, IL an old and tried family
remedy for rough hands, and is very
easily made. Take three drachms OF
camphOr, three Of white beeswax, and
three of spermaceti. Add two ounces
OF sweet olive oil. Put the mixture into
a jar, set In saucepan OF boiling water,
and let IL melt into a smooth mass. Ii
will be white and almost translucent
when cold. While it is In liquid form,
pour into little jars.
TIRED FEET.
When the feet are tired and tender
after much walking or standing during
the day, there Is nothing that will afford
so much relief as good warm foot-bath.
Take as warm water as can be borne,
and throw into it a handful Of good sea
salt. Battle the feet and legs with this
for from five TO eight minutes, and then
rub briskly with a dry towel. The effect
is most refreshing. 1t is useful thing
to know, too. that bathing the feet in
this way just before retiring Is an ex-
cellent remedy for insomnia.
TO WRITTEN THE NECK AND THROAT.
When the neck and throat become
brown or yellow looking through ex-
posure to the sun; they may be whitened
by the persistent application every night
Of the following paste, spread on soft
rag and wrapped round the neck: Honey
one ounce; lemon juice, one teaspoon
full; Oil Of bitter almonds, six drops;
the whites of two eggs. Add enough
fine oatmeal to make smooth paste.
A DELIGHTFUL wATER-sOFTENER FOR
THE BATH.
Cut yard Of cheese-cloth or butter |
muslin to form bags -four inches square. |
Nix two and half pounds Of fine oat- |
meal, four ounces Of powdered CASTLE |
soap, and eight ounces Of powdered
orris root. FIJI the bags loosely and
place one In the bath, using 1t as
sponge. The effect upon the skin Is very
soothing and grateful, and leaves de- |
lishtful perfume.-McCsll's Magazine.

dlence. These few moments OF devo-
tion and conservation are OF the
greatest value 20 those attending, and
they are creating holy enthusiasm
for service. About forty have pledged
themselves TO personal work during
the meetings. The pastor met most
OF these In an after meeting that
evening aud many suggestions OF
practical value we're offered In behalf
Gf the unsayed. The church is plan
ming for, and expecting great things.
The hrst half hour every evening Is
devoted TO an inspiring song and
prayer service. DIR. Epley is splendid
leader OF song aud knows how to get
