BEAUTY AND THE BATH.
Tepid or Cold Water Very Good for
Maintaining the Purity Of
the Complexion.

The complexion is one of the points
that are noted first in a woman's ap-
pearance. The bath is a valuable aid
to the necessary purity of the skin,
but, like all beneficial processes, it is
liable to abuse. The hot bath especially
is misused to great extent. a warm
bath, as distinct from hot one, is sell
dom injurious, but the safest is the
tepid or the quite cold one. The test is
simple one. If, after cold bath,
when the skin is dried the surface of
the body glows with heat and is suf-
fused with pink tint, all is well. But
if this reactionary warmth fails to re-
spond to vigorous rubbing with the
towels the bath is injurious. A chill
often follows the hot bath. which proves
how dangerous it is. If chill follows
the cold bath it must be abandoned at
once and the tepid tried. Much de-
ponds upon circulation, whether it be
brisk or sluggish. If the former. the
cold bath may almost certainly be ven
tured upon with uniformity and be-
come daily delight. But if the circu-
lation be slow and defective a large
can of hot water should be added to The
cold. Only q short time should be al
lowed to the bath proper, whether hot.

process should be thorough and vigor-

A Talk To Teachers.

In July next the N. E. A. for 1890
meets at Los Angeles, California. This
should mean great deal to you because
it affords all opportunity for travel to the
most interesting parts OF our continent at
a wonderfully low rate. 1t goes without
saying that you ought to take advantage
OF such a chance, and in taking advant-
age OF it, see all that you cam
l wish to make a suggestion. During
the last few years l have been brought
into quite close relations with many
teachers and schools through our series
OF Wonderland books issued annually.
l am anxious that our teachers should
reap the full benefit Of this meeting at
Los Angeles and the low rate at which
they can travel. The finest scenery iii
California and the Northwest is found
on the Shasta N orthcrn Pacific route via
Portland, therefore, go north when the
convention adjourns, see Mt. Shasta, the
Sacramento Canyon, the Siskiyou range.
visit Puget Sound, and also, if you de-
sire, Alaska. You can by doing this
see also MIS- Hood and St. Helens, and
from the Sound country, Mt. Rainier,
and perhaps Mt. Baker. Then when on
the Northern Pacific eastward bound
Mt. Adams can also be seen. These
mountains are the finest glacial peaks
in the world-this is true-and range
from 10000 to nearly 5000 feet in
height and are seen for their entire ele-
vations.
By thus returning via the Northern
Pacific the climax of the trip, the great

OF the entire journey is yours-Ye Glow

you did so.

RUN BY SEVEN WOMEN.
A Texas Hotel That Is Ably Con-
Quoted by "Seven Sancti-
fled Sisters"

They say that the best hotel in Texas
is to be found at Bolton, a town on the
Santa Fe road, and it is kept by "seven
sanctified sisters" as the proprietors
are popularity called. Several years ago
a woman in that place and her husband
quarreled over the best way of ex-
pounding Scriptures to Sunday
school class, and were so stubborn that
they separated and were finally di-
vorced. This family controversy was
taken up by the town, which was soon
distinctly divided between the adher-
cnts of the husband and the adherents
of the wife. The result was a large
crop of divorces, and seven husbandless
women, including the original cause of
the commotion, joined together and
rented the town hotel. One of them
did the cooking, another was parlor
maid, third made up the beds, and
SO they divided the work among them
and ran the establishment upon the
cooperative plan. They would not en-
ploy man about the place, although
the most of their patrons were men,
of course. People say that women trav-
elers preferred to stop elsewhere, and
that would be woman's way. One of
the seven sanctitied sisters used to
drive a big carry-all down to the rail-
way station three or four times day to
meet the trains, but she let the regular
transfer company handle the baggage.
The hotel prospered from the begin
ming, and there was no reason why it
should not, for everything was neat
and homelike and the cooking was the
best in Texas, which is not saying
much, perhaps, but is good reason
why it was appreciated. Every Sun
day it was crowded. The drummers
used to swarm there from all the north
central part of the state, and every pas
senger on the Santa Fe trains was an
advertising agent. The 'ssanctified sis
tiers" made money, as they deserved to
do; they enlarged their establishment
and started big laundry in connection
with it, where the drummers left their
soiled clothes to be done up while they
were out during the week. Then the
sisters" bought a hotel at Waco, and
started laundry there, with equal
success, and now they are talking of
starting one in New York.-Chicago

A CATS TREACHERY.
Thomns Made Friends with His
Natural Enemy and Then
DevOured Him.

A family leaving town for the sum-
who had reputation throughout the
street in which he lived as fighter
and ratter.
Provision was made for Thomas sub
sistence during the summer with the
milkman, who each morning poured
into dish inside the area some milk.
Thomas, while vicious enough to
other than intimate acquaintance,
was while at home of sociable DISPOSE
ton. Personally he missed great deal
the family and the pet pug, with whom
he was ON the best of terms.
At any rate on the family's return
the members were surprised when the
servant hurried upstairs and told
them Tom was playing in n most friend
ly manner in the area with an immense
rat.
Everybody tiptoed down to look.
Sure enough Tom had made q new
friend. His love of society had over
come his natural instinct, and he was
drinking his breakfast while the rat
was Jumping afOunu tLe saucer III Lne
most unconcerned manner.
But alas for the rats confidence in
feline nature! For few days all went
well between the strange friends. They
were often seen together and were
always apparently on the best of terms.
One morning, however, Bridget coming
downstairs found the rats headless
body. Thomas whiskers were stained
with blood.
Either the whilom friends had quar-
relied, or, relieved by the return of the
family from the necessity of taking up
with any acquaintance he could make,
Thomas had decided to give up his
friendship. And with that decision
probably his normal instincts had re-
sumed their sway.-Golden Days.

HE MUST LIVE.
A Patient Who Was Bound to Last
Long Enough to Draw His
Pension.

1t would be in vain to attempt to
describe the sympathy for the poor and
suffering which William Stokes could
throw into his voice, says his biogra-
pher. One of the stories he used to tell
is of peculiar interest, not only for it's
revelation of human kindness, but as a
proof of the power of the will in pro-
longing life.
An old pensioner was patient of
Stokes in the Meath hospital. His life
was despaired of, and in fact his death
was hourly expected. One morning.
having the patients to care for, and
believing that the pensioner was un-
conscious and past help, DR.. Stokes
passed his bed without stopping. The
patient was greatly distressed and cried
out:
Don't pass me by, docther; you
must keep me alive for four days"
"We will keep you as long as we can,
my poor fellow" answered Stokes;
"but why for four days particularly Pr
Because" was the reply, my pen
sion will be due then, and I want the
money for my wife and children. Don't
give me anything to make me sleep, for
If Isleep I shall die"
On the third day after this, to the
amazement of Stokes and the others
the patient was still breathing. On
the morning of the fourth day he was
alive and conscious, and on entering
the ward, Stokes saw him holding in
his hand the certificate which required
signature. AS the doctor drew near the
dying man gasped:
"Sign, sign!" ..
The doctor quickly complied. and the
man sank back exhausted. and within
few minutes crossed his hands owe,
his breast and said: 1.-THE Lord have
mercy on my SOUL" and quietly
breathed his Youths Com panion

EXTREMELY POLITE.
Rarely Exhibited in This
Country.

Many of us have heard of that polite
Partisan cocher-driver-who, during
! long afternoon in which he drove an
American lady about the gay capital to
see the sights, responded quite un-
rufled and without as much as mus
Gle twitching, to her constantly re-
peated orders to cochon-pig-to drive
her here or there. Indeed, foreigners
receive our mistakes in their language
much more courteously than we re-
ceive theirs in ours. Two ladies in Italy,
we are told by correspondent of the
Companion, had this fact recently
"borne in upon them," as the Friends
say, with especial directness.
In the morning their Italian teacher
made slip in her English, and in reply
to an inquiry concerning the oddly
twinkling fire embers in her little brass
stove, informed them that the fuel she
employed was "small wigs"
They laughed heartily at the mis-
take, and presently the lady herself
corrected it to twigs, and was amiab1e
enough to laugh also. But that same
day they went to see the homeless cats
of the city fed in the cloister of San
Gallo, and were not sure that they had
come at the right time. One of them
turned to the custode and inquired in
Italian, as she supposed: "When will
the cats eat?" but what was really
asked was:
"When shall we eat the cats?"
"There is no systematic hour, sig
norma" he replied to this surprising
query, in manner as politely matter
of-course as if it were quite the Gus
tom there to serve kittens on toast to
foreign ladies! Not flicker of ex-
preston showed that he perceived the
mistake.
Such steady countenance under
such circumstances, they agreed when
they discovered it themselves, was a
feat of courtesy very rarely exhibited
by an American.-Youth's Companion.

THE RAILROADS..

Chief Engineer ". r. Manning, of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, has invented
a new rail that experts say has many
points OF interest 10 railroad owners,
the principal one being lis economical
feature. 1t Is well known that rails
war rapidly on curves and where these
arc. short and traffic heavy the cost OF
renewal is very large Manning has
evolved a section, which. he asserts.
will reduce the cost thirty-seven per
cent. per ton per year. He adds mater
tally to the. life OF the rail by placing ad-
disional metal in the head and on the
side upin which the wear comes. The
new rail- will be given thorough test
on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, tho
receivers having ordered 1000 tons from
the Carnegie Steel company. The Pitts
hurgh G. Western have also ordered 500
