become overheated when exercising, a.
the oil Is thus made TO now too freely.
The question Of diet is also an i'm
portant one. Lean roasted or broiled
meats and fowl should be eaten. but
no pork or greasy food of any kind.
Raw oysters, boiled fish and vegeta-
bles in season are allowable. Crane
fruit, oranges, grapes, stewed prunes
and baked apples are all very whole
some. Fried meats. pastry and sweets
should be avoided. Stimulants and
narcotics like coffee AFFECT the liver
(Which is generally torpid with an oily
skin.) and they should be abstained
from.
For skin which is not excessively
oily saturated solution of borax ap-
piled with fine sponge is recommend
ed. The sebaceous glands could not be
wholly dispensed with, as they are ne
cessary To keep the skin soft and pill
able, and nature has placed them there
to soil the skin. The matter that the
oil glands secrete is called sebaceoues
matter.
After the oily skin has been correct
ed a good retiring cream and pure
soap should be used on the face regu-
larly, together with an astringent To-
ton, in order to prevent a recurrence
of the condition. A woman having
particularly oily skin should be care
full to take frequent baths, with changes
of linen, as from this condition pecul-
lar and disagreeable odor is invariably
thrown off by the body. In extreme
cases constitutional as well as local
treatment is necessary.
Greasy skin may often be associated
with debility of the general health
brought on by excessive tea drinking,
want of outdoor exercise and the eat
ing of indigestible foods, causing lack
of tone and lasticity in the sebaceous
glands and producing greasy, oily
surface on the skin. Sometimes this
oiliness is accompanied by blackheads,
complicating the trouble of cure. The
most careful attention to diet and fresh.
air are absolutely necessary.
Bathing with water 10 which have
been added a few drops of tincture of
benzoin and myrrh sometimes relieves
the oiliness. A pure toilet lotion judi
ciously applied is the best remedy.
The face should be first washed with
pure olive oil soap and luke warm
water, after which the lotion should be
applied, allowed to remain for some
time and then washed off. When the
oiliness includes black heads, they
should be removed in the same way as
ordinary black heads.
Health and beauty depend on plenty
of oxygen. Breathe pure air always
if you want to be good looking. A
lack of oxygen robs the skin of its
freshness and elasticity, takes the

VIII do wonders toward making a
young girl handsome and in retaining
those good looks of which time is sup

are her own, il she only has the intel
ligence and diligence to retain them.
As rule, women are neglectful in
the care Of the skin of the face. To
this must be attributed the very few
fresh and healthful compilations that

The remaining five tricks of course went
to West. Score. n and c., 8; E. and W., 5.
Spades trumps, South leader. The
play went as follows:
The only comment necessary is that
the original leader was playing against
unusually hard luck. West held the
stronger hand, besides having the adj
vantage of being led up to. But such
deal would not occur one time in a
hundred. In the everyday of the hand
it resulted in east and west making
seven tricks to north and south's six,
a swing for the former of three tricks.
Why, asks the reader, was this thus?
Simply because when west picked UP
the hand in the everyday he at once
recognized it and knew that the lead
of trumps would be disastrous, so he
led the knave of diamonds tan ir-
clubs falling upon it only confirmed
this view. West then led his ace of
clubs, which north promptly ruffed
and followed with the lead of the ace
of hearts, having doubtless by this
time recognized the hand. Then it
was diamond cut diamond until the
whole thirteen tricks were played;
each forcing the other to ruff the card
led.
The above deal, and recollection of
the hands by North and West, Illus
trates the weakness of duplicate whist
as a test of skill. Queer hands, and
many that are only ordinary, will be
remembered, in part at least, if not in
toto, by the player with an ordinarily
retentive memory. Then when the
ries sit down, look out! All such
monkey business as mnemonic whist
is poor whist and should be taboed,
but there are times when minister's will
recall a hand without either effort or
desire to do so. Such instances do not
properly come under the charge of
mnemonics, but all the same they
initiate seriously against the intelli-
gent and honest player who relies on
success by drawing proper differences
from the fall of the cards. Compass
whist, or some form of it, where the
same hands are not played over again
at the same sitting, is the remedy, and
a we'll organized club is probably the
only way in which this form of play
can be successfully introduced.

Mark n. Skerrett has filed petitions
with the city clerk, asking for recount
Of the ballots cast in the ward eau

to have the check lists used in the eau

the caucus counted but 1855 names
checked on the voting list. They want
to determine where the discrepancy
comes in.
Mr.. Skerrett has not decided whether

count goes against him. He has the
matter under consideration, and will

return last evening gave out this state
ment:-
"Au the meeting of Guild managers
today reports were read from nearly all
the principal towns and cities in the
state In view of the fact that the re-
suit is so close, it was the conclusion
of the committee that the outcome,
whichever way it goes, rests largely
with the unpledged and doubtful dele
gates Ill other words, the final result
will be determined in the convention. :"
Mr. Dean says there is no reason to
feel discouraged over the outlook, and
that delegates to the state convention
are about equally divided. He will not
admit that Bates has the lead claimed
for him.
Hon. E,lery B. Crane had heard moth
ing from Boston yesterday afternoon,

day before, which gave Bates safe
lead
A Boston travelling man, who has
been an acknowledged Guild supporter,

marked that there was little doubt in
Boston relative to the Bates victory.

vlonsly been conceded to Bates, is ac-
counted for by clerical error, which
