among gentlemen when they drank a

might do her still more honor. to de-
stroy Mt the same time some part Of
their clothing.
Upon one occasion Sir Charles Sed-
ley was dining in a tavern and had n
particularly fine necktie on, whereupon
one Of his friends. to play him a trick,
drank to the health Of n certain lady,
at the same time throwing his necktie
In the fire. or course Sir Charles had
to do likewise. but he got even. for not
long after that, dining with the same
company, he drank the health Of a fair
one, mt the same time ordering a dem
fist whom he had engaged to be pres
ent. to pull out a refractory tooth
which had been troubling him. Every
one else was obliged In this manner to
mourn a mOlar.

The familiarity of islanders with wa
ter and the use of 1t occasioned by the
national custom that led the ancient
Britons to paint their bodies are sol
EMMY urged as the foundation of the
English proneness to washing. and the
fresh compilations and smooth skins of
young Englishmen are held to replace
the more dusky and hlrsute counte-
nances OF the Latin races because of
their closer and more frequent ac-
quaintance with the articles OF the
washstand.
1t is quite obvious that even in Eng
land there are people who wash too
little. 1t is not so generally recognized
that some people wash too much. The
skin is not well adapted to frequent
applications Of water accompanied by
even the least irritating Of soaps. A
tendency arises to m~aceratlon OF the
superficial part Of the epidcrmIs, which
is too frequently removed and occa-
sions probably too rapid n pro~llferation
Of the cells Of the Malpighlan layer.
There is no doubt that many cases of
roughness of the skin Of the face come
from the frequent applications of wa
ter. 1t Is a good thing to rub the face
with a soft, clean, dry towel two or
three times a day. IL, in addition, wa
ter Is used In the morning and at night,
the skin will be kept in a sounder.
smoother and healthier state than II,
as Is often the case, soap and water are
used three or four times n day.
Men are not often offenders in this
respect, most men sparlng little time
for the refinements OF the toilet. Wom-
en- and children, whose skins are the
most easily affected by superfluous alb
luton, are the very persons in whom
such excess Is too common. They
should be taught that there are dry
methods OF cleanliness as well as wet
Ones.-Lancet.

FLOWER N TREE.

A good tree well planted will usually
gro whether the work Is done In the
spring or fall.
A white pine will measure twenty
five feet Mt twenty years and gain
twenty-five feet more In the next ten
years.
The smallest tree in the world is the
Greenland birch. Its height Is less
than three inches, yet 1t covers a ra-
dius Of two or three feet.
In dealing with your plants be
prompt. If one needs attention. see
that 1t gets 1t at once. This is the
only way to have success in plant
growing.
Experts assert upon investigation
that the fir trees Of western Washing.
ton grow from 80 to 800 feet high and
are from five to thlrty-five feet In d.
ameter and are stronger than oak Of
the Atlantic coast.
II you want your palms to thrive In
an ordinary sitting room, sponge the
leaves once a week with lukewarm wa
ter to which a little milk has been add
ed. Then stand the plant for two
hours in lukewarm water deep enough
to completely cover the pot. This is
the proper way to water palms.

Another dinner given at n Of the

liquor that ever has been brought to
America. They finished with a pousse
cafe made OF eleven liqueurs. Before
each plate sat a cut glass basin about
twenty inches In diameter and four
inches deep. Each was nearly filled
with water perfumed with altar Of
roses, on the surface OF which loated
half open pond lilies. In the basin a

the host was placed. 1t was cut in

On every street in France which has
