Recipe For Cold Cream.

The life Of the skin is the oil which
nature stores up under it and sends
10 the surface as required. As we grow
oder the supply gets less; thus the
skin shriyels and the muscles relax,
and If we wish 10 retain our freshness
a little assistance should be given by
feeding the skin with the proper oils.
The following Is good: Get one pound
OF fat mutton and melt it down slowly
in an enameled saucepan. When thor
oughly melted down, pour it through n
hair sieve; then stir into it as much
glycerne as there is fat, add a few
drops Of perfume and keep stirring
gently until it begins to harden, when
it should be put into little jars or wide
necked bottles.
Rub the face every night with this
pressing il particularly into any
wrinkle appearing, and rub 1t off in
the morning. The above is said to be
the secret Of Nine. PATHS good com

Location OF wa,.rcr.ss Hcds.

Watercress farmers ought TO keep
their beds Of cress utterly free from all
faint or possibility of drainage: the
farther from human habitations and
farmyards the better In the clean
and hospitablc old country inn you
often get capital watercrcss, and they
tell you that the dark-colorcd leaves
are better and more pungent than the
light ones. Sometimes they came from
ncighboring watercress beds. and some
times the children pick them where
they grow wild in the water courses.
Watcrcresses are really wholesome.
and have a medicinal value. They
contain n good deal of sulphur and
chloride of potassium. One of the
chief merits Of uncookcd vegetables
and fruits IL the presence in them Of
various properties, such as potash, etc,
which are health preservativcs. These
properties are sometimes lost In the
cooking Of the herb or plant.-Phila-

New Stocks.

In stockholders those with rounded
side pieces or flaps, and jabots with
butterfly ends are the most fashiona-
bic. These pretty ends are commonly
finished with an embroidered butterfly
or one of lace applique. \ novel stock

why Southern Women Are No, Athletic.

Why Southern Women Are Not Athletic.
Possibly the most peculiar thing
about the muscle developing in the
South generally. Atlanta particularly,
is the failure OF women 20 participate

SUMMER RESORTS.

ITO the mountains our people in in
creasing numbers yearly look for those
days Of relaxation and recreation nee
essary to maintain the human ma
chine In fair working con 1ition. The
languorOus sloth Of the seashore proves
very seductive while 1t lasts, but
many have decided that the an
nual outing should provide not only
radical change Of air and surround
ings, but also such stimulation Of
tagging energies as win provide Drawn
and yigor for the return to labor. For
this they urge the mountain climb and
ramble, the balsam Of the mountain
pines. and the clear, unadulterated
mountain air.
IN this direction the Shasta Route
now affords wealth Of attractions.
The entire line Of road from Ashland

and accessible hotels and camps. where
are cheer and comfort and healing al
