THE WOMAN BEAUTIFUL.
The Daily Bath an InfnlIibIc Recipe
for Clear Skin md n Fresh
Complexion.

Cleanliness goes hand in hand with
beauty, not mere cleanliness of face and
hands, but that which promotes the
health of the whole body, keeping the
circulation active and the complexion
clear. The hot bath twice weekly, with
the use of flesh brushes and such toilet
aids us tend to improve and restore
the nervous system and give vigor to all
functions, will be found a necessary
groundwork for beauty building.
Cleanliness of the skin has great eff
feet on the proper assimilation of food
by the body, for the tonic of a good
bath reaches much farther than the
skin, and the flesh is purified by the
process and becomes smooth and firm
as wax. Aromatic baths, which are
begun with hot water and graduated
to tepid and cold, are very invigof&cng.
Perfumed tablets are sold by the drug
gists, one of which dissolved in the
water of the bath gives it delicious
and refreshing odor. Sometimes an
ounce of ammonia added to gallon of
water will be found helpful. When the
sponge bath or immersion does not
with friction, is good substitute. The
hair mitten, loofah and flesh brush an
swer the purpose of the modern method
of massage, especially where there is
lack of strength on the part of the
subject or an objection to manipulation
of strange hands. The sponge bath
should never be hot, but should, be be-
gun with tepid water, ending with a
cool tone, not cold. If there is danger
of taking cold the brisk rub with di-
luted alcohol will prevent it. The dry
bath, where there are serious objections
to water, consists of dry rubbing, after
which the flesh is rubbed with flannel
dipped in toilet water, after which it
is dried with Turkish toweling. Then
there are the professional baths, the
Russian bath, Turkish bath, vapor
bath, mineral water or sulphur bath,
all good in their way and of value as
health reviewers. Any or all might
be classed under the head of the beauty
bath.-Chicago Chronicle.

came within one vote of receiving the
nomination for congress. He removed
to Omaha in 1869. In the senate his
services were especially valuable in
shaping legislation concerning the gov.

Hest way to Make Jelly.

The only way one can be sure each
time to have satisfactory results in jei-
ly making is to keep trying the juice.
Take little out on a saucer, let it cool,
and then examine it. 1t is safer way
than to trust to a given number of min
utes. The condition of fruit is hardly
ever twice alike. If possible, when
making jelly, put the fruit after it is
cooked into flannel bag and let it
drain slowly. 1t is much more likely
to be clear than if squeezed or pressed
out hastily, In making elderberry jel-
ly cook the berries till soft, then strain
through jelly bag. A thicker and bet
ter favored jelly is obtained by adding
one-third grapes or apples. To every
pint of juice add one pint of white
sugar.

there was something in it. Things oc-
Cured almost at once TO show that the
brigadier was down on the Third. Por-
tions of our regiment were sent this
way and that on scouting duty in the
roughest of weather, and with every
body knowing that there wasn't con-
federate within 90 miles of us. An eX-
cuse was found to make us tear down
our huts and rebuild them. All the de-
tails for the rough and hard work
seemed to be made from the Third, and
it was the talk through the whole brig
ade that the brigadier had trick up his
sleeve for us when the campaign
opened. L am sure he hoped Col. Bell
would be forced to resign, but he had
| hold of the wrong man. We of the rank
and file growled and kicked and cursed,
but our colonel preserved his placdity
and obeyed orders to the letter.
Spring came at last and the cam
| paign opened. Early was too strong
for Sheridan for the first two or three
months, but we held him back and
fought him in all the valleys. Some
! tires it was skirmish, with only a
few hundred men engaged; again it
was lively little fight, in which each
side had brigade in battle line. We
had plenty of excitement, and plenty
! to occupy our thoughts, but we of the
Third did not forget the brigadier's
threat. You had only to look at that
| set jaw and cold face of his to realize
that his enmity was deep and lasting,
and that no ordinary sacrifice would
appease him. AT Kernstown he thought
his hour of triumph had come. He
flung the Third regiment full against
| Jackson's center, believing we were
| going to meet five times our strength
and must be decimated, but for once in
his life the confederate chieftajn had
been conquered by circumstance. His
| ragged veterans were strung out for
three miles, and we Struck his center
with such a dash as to break and drive
| it back in confusion. 1t was pretty
little fight, and one to be proud of, but
though we received the congratulations
of the whole brigade, the brigadier had
a new peg in for our colonel.
The sight of the generals hard face
as he rode along our front stopped our
cheering, and / heard the captain of
my company whisper to another:
"God! but what bitterness that man
has in his heart He won't be satisfied
until this regiment is wiped off the
face of the earth!"
Three weeks later our brigade was
pushed over into the Luray valley to
capture small force and wreak de-
struction on the growing crops. The
confederates were alert, and could not
be taken by surprise. AS we fought
them in a desultory way, they were
heavily reinforced, and one day we
found our 5000 men facing at least
5000. The enemy had a strong position,
too, and every man of us, from the

ON THE LEFT FLANK

.Copyrtebted.

Sergt, Frayne had reported the gos-
sip correctly. The brigadier general
had been cleaning out the colonels and
majors and captains in great shape.
Some OF them were old hands at the
game, but for every dollar they won
they lost two. 1t wouldn't do to come
out and say that the brigadier was
cardsharper, but men shook their
heads and wondered and grumbled over
his strange luck, and one after another
found excuses for not sitting down with
him. 1t was true that he was after
Col. Bell, and it was true that he caught
him. He found novice who entered
the game simply to oblige, but who dog
gedly hung on when he found himself
losing, and consequently lost more. In
a week. so it was reported and believed,
Col. Bell lost to the brigadier over
$4,000. That sum might have been
doubled in another week but for an
incident. More by accident than de-
sign, the colonel caught the brigadier
cheating, and the play broke up in hot
words. Every effort was made to sup
press the gossip, but it reached the
ears of the commander in chief, and
he raised such row that there was
no more poker. The harm had been
done, however. Col. Bell had said to
the brigadier in presence of witnesses:
Sir, caught you cheating, and l de-
nounce you as a sharper and rascal"
And the brigadier, hot-faced, cha
grined and cursng his own careless
ness, had replied:
'Tll make those words cost you your
life or your commission before three
months pass by!"
We got the story in all sorts of ways,
but however it came, we had to believe

A great many women always carry

very handy in case of need. The Span

had in fine china, and also in heavier

as a cream pitcher. These jugs all have
the same form, are short and squat, and
represent Napoleon in high-topped

dark chapeau upon his head Dark am

Dagger in the Form of Scissors Ia
Carried by Almost Every
Indy in Spain.

The Spanish are generally reputed to
be quick, hot-tempered race, a people
who on small provocation resort to
deadly weapons to avenge a wrong or
slight. The stiletto, small dagger
with keenly pointed, slender blade, is
favorite with these people, partly be-
cause of its size, and perhaps more be-
cause of its certainty, as its keen point
and slender blade do not require much
force to make it effective. These stilet-
tos are made in many styles, but the
strangest to the American mind is one
made as a pair of scissors. This is a
form much affected by women, as it is
doubly useful, and in the very nature
of things is most likely to be near at
hand.
They are made like an ordinary pair
of scissors, except that the "shank, or

In the winter camp at Winchester
the officers dubbed together for social
amusement, and there were horse rae
ing, billiard playing, glee clubs and
what not. The programme would not
have been complete without poker
clubs. 1t wasn't poker playing for fun,
but for fresh, crisp greenbacks. twas
n game tabooed to the rank and file,
though indulged in on the sly, but in
every fifth hut occupied by the OIL
GERS there was nightly gathering of
coloncls, majors, captains and lieuten-
ants, and many an officer got up from
the tables with empty pockets There
was a general understanding that every
player was an officer and Il gentleman,
but the news came sitting down
through the sergeants and the COR
porals that this was not always the
case. Indeed, before the winter was
over half dozen designations were
sent in because the holders of commits
sions had been detected cheating at
cards. Our own colonel, as we got it,
was holding aloof from these gather
ings, though being a conspicuous fig
ure in others, but there were tall sto-
ries of the amount of money lost or
won by our company officers. The men
of the company were pretty evenly
divided in the matter. The affirmative
side of the house was represented by
old Bill Hastings, third corporal, who
had spent years and years in the lum-
ber camps of Michigan, and could play
any game of cards with his eyes shut.
