Sunlight and Health.

Many persons appear to labor under
the delusion that it is necessary to
avoid sunlight for fear of spelling the
complexion, when, as matter of fact.
the suns rays are necessary to give
1t the delicate tinting of beauty and
health. Air is necessary to the first
inspiration and the last expiration of
our lives, but the purity and activity
OF the atmosphere depends upon the
warming rays of the sun, while our
bodies require light for their healthy
stimulus. 1t is we'll known that without
solar heat there can be no proper vege-
table growth, and it is equally neces-
saW for the beauty and perfection of
animal development. 1t behooves us,
therefore, to see that our homes are
open to the suns rays and are made
as bright and cheerful as possible, and
they ought to freely admit the sun
light. 1t is well known that diseases
which have baffled the skill of physi-
clans have been known to yield when
the patients were removed from dark
rooms to light and cheerful apart
ments. Light is especially necessary
for the healthy growth of children.

suppose that couple Of membranous
folds. which have been discovered, one

the shell like cupping glasses. and
thus work 1t into the throat. But here
we meet with another difficulty. After
the egg has passed between the pro-
digiously distended Jaws and upper
esophagus, it would seem as If its bulk
and solidity, when lodged In a compar-
atively inelastic part Of the digestive
tube, whose juices are unable to dis
solve the shell, must quickly prove IA
tai to the animal. A remarkable in
stance of natural adaptation is afford
ed by the manner in which the danger
is provided against. The anodon, as
already observed, has no true teeth.
So-called gular teeth, however, are
present. these being really the tips OF
the long inferior spines of the first
eight or nine vertebrate, protruding
through the esophageal wall. When
the shell is broken by the gular teeth
it is elected and the fluid passes into
the stomach.-Popular Science.

washing the Face.

There are some misguided persons
who object to washing the face often,
especially with soap, thinking this is
ian injury to the complexion. Those.
however, who have made a specially
OF skin diseases, will say that no part
OF the body needs soap SO much: that
the face being constantly exposed to
dust. collects SO much that it is not
enough to wash it in clear water. They
agree that II soap makes the face shiny
as SO many claim, 1t only shows that it
Is the more needed. and that the work
Of drying after the bath has not been
properly. performed. The face, how
ever, should not be wet Immediately
before or after going out. Its most
thorough ablutions should be perform
ed at night before going to bed, and
the following method should be OBJ
served In the process: Fill basin
with soft, warm water, lather me-
dunn sized sponge with good soap, and
wash carefully. Then take fresh wa
ter without soap, and wash again with
the hands, and rub thoroughly with a
Turkish or crash towel until the face

towards improving and preserving the

Turned Black in Hair an Hour.

A white man of Kenosha, Wis,
turned as black as the ace of spades
the other morning, and all in less than
half an hour. From the tips Of his
toes to the top of his head Alexander

workmen, frightened, ran away from
him, and he is now at home wonder
Ing what he has done, or what nature
means by changing him from white to

as usual the other morning and was
feeling perfectly well. Soon he noticed
that the workmen were looking at him
Queerly and then their establishment
the matter and was told that he was
turning black. The manager of the
tannery, E. G. Theirs, was called and
he Immediately told the man to go
home. By that time he was ink black
from head to foot. Among those who
saw the man after he had turned black
and are willing to swear to the phe-
nomenon are e. c. Theirs, manager Of
the tannery; William Schroeder, bank
ing clerk; Griffin McCollin, a clerk in
the Office: Charles Beachel, another
employe, who is superintendent of the
Methodist Sunday school here, and
James Westine, the foreman. All of
these say that the man turned black
and that he was white when he came
to work that morning. Wertenen has

The Care of the Feet.

There is no necessity whatever for
so much complaint of the feet If peo-
pie could only be induced to wear the
proper kind Of Shoes" said a surgeon
who has made the foot the subject of
special study. The great mistake that
is made is in selecting shoes that are
too short. No matter how loose they
are. the shortness is the cause Of the
trouble. Then ends of the bones are
crowded together, and with continual
grinding an irritation takes place and
an Inflammation is set up that may re-
main as long as life lasts. French wo-
men are admitted as having the most
beautiful feet of any women in the
world, and the reason of this Is that
they refuse to wear short shoes, but
select those that are long enough to
give the feet perfect freedom. The av-
erage woman who wears a number 3
D, would find her health, comfort and
appearance greatly improved by wear
ing a AZ =. The most important OF
all items In getting shoes, after tho
proper length is secured, Is to have
them At snugly around the instep. This
keeps the foot from driving forward
into the shoe. as It would do were it
loose over the instep. Large shoes all
low the toes to press forward, and are
more injurious than snug ones; indeed,
It is easy to see how the feet working,
on an incline will crowd down upon

A Labrador Bear Story.


A writer on Labrador, in an article
IN an American paper, tells the follow
ing bear story: A couple of winters
ago a young lad left the mission house
OF Main armed with only small knife
and an old-fashioned muzzle-loader.
He encountered no game till several
miles from the mission, and his first
quarry was a thin, hungry-looking
grizzly. Either from nervousness or
overanxiety to secure the bear, the
BOY hred carelessly, only inHicting a
flesh wound, which Infatuated the crea-
ture. Before the young hunter could
reload the bear turned and came dash
ing upon his assailant. The proverbial
tree, which boy hunters climb in story
BOOKS, was lacking, and the hero fed
most numerically, with the certain
knowledge that certain death was only
a lew yards behind, if he did not put
speed into his heels. The ill-luck of
his first maladroit aim was repeated in
clumsy fall over powders, during
which Bruin made such time the boy
could gauge how much his pursuer
gained on him by the nearer sound of
something hulking over the rocks
closer and closer at every leap. The
trail was rough and uneven, but that
was greater disadvantage to the boy
than to the bear With that versatile
presence of mind bred by daily dan
gers, the lad tore off one NIT and flung
that behind. There was a momentary
malt on the part of the grizzly and the
hunter made speed, but the way was
long, and his strength was giving out.
Presently he could hear the thud, thud
OF the bear again in pursuit. Off
came the other nit, with the expected
result of another stop behind him, re-
newed pursuit, and repetition of the

An Arab Legend.

once upon a time, away out on the
desert, an Arab was travelling with a
caravan and large amount of valua-
BILE silks and rich goods. He knew
that the portion of the desert through
which they were passing was frequent
ed by robbers, and he was anxious to
reach the end of his journey before
night.
The men and the camels were all
weary, for they had come a long way
across the dry country, but now they
were looking more cheerful, for they
would soon be at place where they
could rest and not fear.
The chief was leading the caravan
and looked carefully in every direc-
ton, so as not to be surprised by the
enemy. All at once he heard cry of
pain, and, peeping around, saw a boy
not far from the path. Are you sick?"
asked the chief. Il have a thorn in
my foot" said the boy, .and 1 cannot
walk" Then the chief got down from
the back of the camel and went to the
boy and gently drew the thorn from
his foot. He even delayed to cleanse
the sore and rub some ointment on the
wound made by the thorn. He inquir-
ed about how far the boy had to go
and if he had any money. Learning
that the boy had but little, he gave him
. piece of gold and then went on his
Journey. Many years after the chief
died and went to paradise. What was
MS surprise to find himself at once in
the midst Of the most beautiful roses.
why have so many roses?" he asked
OF an angel near him. There are
many others who have done more good
who have not as many beautiful
roses" The angel smiled and answer
ed: Years ago you drew thorn from
the foot of a boy who was crying in
the desert. That thorn has grown to
be large rose tree, and the roses you
see around you are the blossoms from
that tree" One good deed done here
below is returned many fold in para
