Bad for the Complexion.

We shall soon become accustomed to
the soft coal face which is a feature
OF all towns where bituminous coal is
burned-a lace peppcred over lightly
with globules OF SCOT, which seem
harmless until one tries to brush them
away with a handkerchief when
they cease being globules and become
long smooches. Whether "smooch" is
good English word, the writer has
not an idea but it exactly expresses
the state OF bit OF soft coal SCOT when
It has been intcriered with. Given two
smooches to one cheek, and the per.
son looks as il he had been firing a To-
comotive, and must go home nstanter
to wash his face. The accustomed
manage matters better. When they see
a bit OF coal dust lying on friend S
cheek. they ask politely, May ! blow
in your face?' Permission being given,
they lightly breathe the dust away,
knowing iull well that this is the only
way TO get rid OF it without leaving a
! mark.
Soft coal is not good for the COM
| plexion. 1t requires too much siren
nous washing OF the face not to hur,
the skin. The best thing to use to get
rid OF its traces is almond meal and
warm water. These used at night just
| before retiring, will keep the complex.

| ii they are followed up by applications
OF good cream. In the morning. cold
water should be used in abundance, and
then the face is ready ior another round

Paper from Wood Pulp.

Wood pulp forms the basis OF the
paper OF the day, only the best quality
being made from rags. Other materi-
ais are also coming into use to meet
the enormous demand for paper, and
plants which were at one time sup
posed to be OF no economic importance
arc contributing their fibre to the man
uiacture. Among the new materials
may be named bagasse, the refuse OF
the sugar mills, formerly a waste pro-
duct save that it was employed for fuel.
Rice straw long only used as bedding
Tor cattle, is also enlisted in the SER
vice OF the paper maker. Spruce is the
wood now generally used in making
paper pulp, and Of this there is vast
amount not yet drawn upon in the Do.
minion OF Canada. In the meantime,
protests are being raised against the
quality OF the paper made from these
substitutes for rags. 1t answers the
purpose OF ephemeral literature but
there is good reason to believe that il
rapidly deterorates. and that books
made OF it will have but a short life. 1t
is somewhat humliating for us to have
to acknowledge that our modern docu-
ments cannot compare in permanencc
with those written on Egyptian papyrus
before Our own historical period be-
gan.

What to Eat.

Lamb, veal and fowls are delicate and
healthy diet for the young and seden-
tary and for all who find fat meats and
those OF coarse fibre disagree with
them
Butter is nutritious and generally
healthy. Condiments-pepper, ginger,
ct cete.a are best during the summer.
They are products OF hot climates,
which shows them to be most appropri-
ate for the hot season. On the other
hand, fat beef, bacon and such foods
should be most frequently used during
the cold weather.
One OF the most usual causes OF dys-
pepsia among business men and girls
arises from the haste in which they swal-
low their food without sufficiently mas
t.cating it and then hurry away to their
active pursuits.
There ought to be at least one hour
OF quiet after a meal from those pur-
suits which lax the brain as we'll as
those which exercise the muscles.
1t is injurious to eat when greatly
fatigued OF heated. The diet should
always be more spare, with large pro-
portion OF vegetables and ripe fruits
during summer.
Fruits are most wholesome in their
appropriate season. The skins, stone:
and seeds are very indigestible.
Rich soups are injurious to the dys-
peptc. Much liquid food is rarely ben
ehcial ior adults
Rich gravies should be avoided, es'
pecially in the summer season.
Most people drink too much because
they drink too fast. Drink little (bettei
not at alD during meals. II much i:
taken, especially at dinner, it hinder,

his idea was modified as he proceeded

What a Man Does.

Under circumstances OF danger a man
may be as cool as an icicle; he may
preserve an even mind when a ghost
comes into his room at midnight; he
may assume command and act nobly
and well when the ship is sinking; but
let that man, let any man, upset his ink
stand, and he springs to his feet. makes
a desperate grasp for the inkstand, and
knocks it halfway across the table,
claws after his papers, and swoops
them through the sable puddle to save
them, tears his white silk handkerchief
from his pocket and mops up the ink
with it, and after he has smeared the
table, his hands, and his trousers with
ink, as far as il could be made to go,
discovers that early in the engagement
he knocked the inkstand clear off the
table, and it has been draining its life
ink away all that time in the centre OF
the only light figure in the pattern OF
the carpet. Then he wonders why a
man always makes fool OF himself
when he upsets a bottle OF ink. He
doesn't know why. Nobody knows why.
But every time It is so. II you don't
believe 1t, try 1t.

awoke quite widely, as sleepy riders
somehow have a way OF doing, and
pulled himself together to step off. The

TROUBLE.

When the skies are full OF light,
Over fields of blossoms bright;
While the stars smile down at night
On sea like glass.
Let no apprehension rise
For the future overwise;
Never seek with anxious eyes
Shadows in the grass;
Sorrow meet with scanty sighs,
1t will pass.
II the sullen wind is drear,
Keep hope undimmed by fear;
Add not to the rain tear,
Murmur not "Alas!"
BE a soldier, not saint
Fighters have not time to faint.
Greet the cloud with no complaint,
Flout the frowning mass;
On its brow rainbow paint,
1t will pass.
