THE BEAUTY REST.

(Send all Communications to Mrs. Ann
 Somers, The Advertiser Office.)
 When a woman finds herself too tired to eat or sleep properly, let her devote a quarter of an hour to getting rested.
 It does not take over three minutes 10 remove her garments and don warm dressing gown. Five minutes should be devoted to lying flat on the hack with relaxed muscles and eyes closed. The re- maining should then be given to spong- ing the back of the neck and the feet with alcohol or aromatic spirits of vine" gar. =
 The weary woman will not recognize herself at the end of this process. and if she dons fresh clothing she will feel equal to almost any exertlon by the time she is dressed.
 A hot bath refreshes the body when one is over-tired, but should not be in- dulged in too frequently. as excessive heat Is considered enervating.
 Sleep is natures restorer. There are forty ways of sleeping. and only one Of that number is the right way. When woman gets up in the morning unre- freshed by her slumbers, she has not the art of sleeping properly.
 The muscles should be relaxed, allow ing the body to be absolutely limp. Never should the arms be placed above the head. keeping them tired. The limbs should be straight so that the circula- ton may be free and each member al- lowed to rest. The hands should never be clinched or should they be thrust % The spine, e. the great nerve centre. should give to the bed and never be held on a tension all night.
 The person who sleeps perfectly seldom ed physically and mentally. and derives the benefit nature intended should be gained by repose taken the right way.

 Formula for Toilet Vinegar.
 I, H. E.-As a rule, good toilet vine gars, like everything else good, are ex- pensive.

This should be dlluted with four times the quantity of fragrant water when used as a lotion for the race or hands; but for the bath enough IS ga aa- ded to a basin of water to make 1t rag rant and little milky in appearance
