FOR THE COMPLEXION.
Shaving Soap, 1t Is Said, works
Wonders With the Skin.

Wonders With the Skin.
Woman is employing shaving soap
as a complexion beautifier. A trained
nurse discovered this value of shay
ing soap. She had a patient whose
complexion had become ruined by a
protracted fever. None of the ordi-
nary treatments seemed to be able to
restore her complexion. One day the
nurse heard the sick woman's husband
telling how soft and pliable shaving
soap made the skin. Forthwith she
decided to try shaving soap on her pa
tents face.
First she bathed the patients face
thoroughly in warm water and the
soap lather. The water was as warm
as was comfortable to bear. She rub
bed gently. although thoroughly. Aft
er the application of the soap she
rinsed off the lather with warm Wa
ter Then began n series Of rlnsings,
every one little cooler than the pre-
ceding. Gradually she worked mp to
cold water. and the face had brac-
ing dose of it. stimulating dash that
closed the pores and toned UP the skin
for the day. Little by little the fab
biness disappeared, and the face grew
flrmer, while the tonic of the cold wa
ter brought new rosiness to it.
The system proved such a success
that the nurse and the patient both
spread it as far as they could reach,
and now any number Of women are
giving themselves the treatment ev-
cry night to rid the face of the days

THE WEDDING CHEST.
A Sentimental and at the Same Time
Il Sensible Idea.

A Sentimental and at the Same Time
IL Sensible Idea.
Quite q sensible idea for engaged
girls is the wedding chest, and even
girls who are not engaged are the Sc
cret possessors of this sentimental. and
at the same time sensible article. The
wedding chest may be fine new
trunk of the latest style or it may be
plain wooden affair, prettily covered
and lined with lowered chintZ.
The idea is to fill the chest with pref
ty things to wear or for the furnishing
and decoration of home. One girl is
filing hers with dainty clothing which
she is making herself. Another is buy
ing ornaments and knickknacks from
time to time and filing her chest with
them. Not only things to wear, such
as gloves, lingerie and dainty hosiery,
but pieces of lace, tapestry squares for
covering sofa pillows and handsome
table covers. are receiving the atten
ton Of bonny. Scotch maiden.
Another is making Il fine collection
OF table linen-napkins, mats, center
pieces ana so on. Pretty bits Of china
and bric-a-brac go in the chest of an
other maiden.
/ Thus the girls are slowly collecting
pretty things and saving them for use
in their homes. AS q rule their friends
know of the chests and take pleasure
in helping to fill them, although some
OF the girls like to feel that everything
was bought with their own money.

DOING ONES BEST.
IL Is "A Good Character Forming Hab-
1T to Cultivate.

II Is n Good Character Forming Hab-
1T to Cultivate.
This habit of always doing ones best
enters into the very marrow Of ones
heart and character. 1t affects ones
bearing ones self possession. The
man who does everything to finish
has a feeling of serenity. He is not
easily thrown off his balance. He has
nothing to fear, and he can look the
world in the face because he feels con-
scious that he has not put shoddy into
anything, that he has had nothing
to do with shams and that he has al
ways done his level best. The sense OF
efficiency, of being master Of ones
craft, of being equal to any emergency,
the consciousness of possessing the abil-
fly to do with superiority whatever one
undertakes, will give soul satisfaction
which a half hearted, slipshod worker
never knows.
When q man feels throbbing within
him the power to do what he under
takes as well as it can possibly be done,
and all his faculties say amen" to
what he is doing and give their unqual-
flied approval to his efforts-this is
happiness, this is success. This buoy
ant sense of power spurs the faculties
to their fullest development 1t I'M
folds the mental, the moral and the
physical forces, and this very growth,
the consciousness of an expanding men,
tally and of q broadening horizon

power of words to describe. 1t is a
realization OF nobility, the divinity Of
the mind.-Success.

PRETTY LIPS.
Pulling. Pinching and biting Them
VIII surely Dcform Them.

Pulling, Ptnch1ng anu bit1hE ihciH
VIII surely Dcform Them.
To be really pretty the lips should
be rather full. but without the least
suspicion Of thickness. Their color.
too, should be of bright red. not only
for appearances sake. but also as de-
noting q healthy body. Thin. color
less lips betray poverty of the blood.
while very thin lips, however bright
their color, show an irritable. fretty
disposition.
So many girls when reading pull and
pinch their lips. This bad habit causes
the flesh to swell, and in very short
time pair of ugly, thick lips is the re-
suit Unfortunately this unbecoming
blemish is not easy to cure. The prac-
tice of touching the lips must first be
abandoned and the lips gently rubbed
with cold cream two or three times a
day. The girl who unconsciously plays
with her lips will do well to wear a
pair of wooIly gloves when reading or
studying. she should also get those
around her to correct her directly they
notice her hand raised to her face.
Biting the lips'is another habit which
also thickens them besides denoting q
bad temper. The best cure for this Is
to keep a white bone penholder in the
mouth in moments of leisure. and this
will prevent the teeth closing on the
lips.

FAT ON A FOWL.
u II Not 80 Good = Thing as Some
H0usekeepers Think.

Housekeepers Think.
"When I see men or women looking
for nothing but fat on a fowl" said a
marketman. II don't envy them their
diuner. There Is a layer of fat under
meath the skin when poultry is unduly
fattened, and in the cooking this over
heated fat saturates the meat, and deli
cate stomachs have hard tussle. This
is why lots Of people can't eat ducks
and geese at all. These overwhelmed
fowls are in reality more expensive
and less easily digested, there being
much less lean meat in proportion to
the fat. Most of my customers are now
willing to pay what good turkey is
worth, understanding the difference.
What is the difference? Why, there
are few rules that must be observed.
For at least six days before killing
barnyard fowls must be cooped, not
huddled, have a good, clean space
and be well fed on corn for at least
five days. Then for twenty-four hours
before killing they should be fed on
skinned milk or soft boiled rice. The
night before the killing the turkey
must have plenty of water, but no
food, which leaves the crop empty, the
intestines clean, the dark meat quite
light, and gives flavor as different as
possible from the offensive flavor that
is likely to impregnate the common
fowl killed in the common way. The
flesh OF all animals is favored by their
food. This accounts for the delicious
flavor Of the canvasback and redhead
ducks. Both eat of the wild celery at
the waters edge, the former taking the
roots, the latter the tops."-Philadel-
phia Record.

LONGSTREET'S ORDERS.
The Way His Soldiers Managed to
Evadc Them.

The Way His Soldiers Managed to
Evade Them.
General Longstreet used to tell good
many stories to show that the men Of
his command always treated captured
Union soldiers with as much considera-
ton and kindness as was possible I'M
der the circumstances. He said that
his orders on this point were very
strict and he never knew any Of his
men to disobey. AS he went on to ex-
plain how proud he was of the record
of his men on this point a listener en-
ployed in one of the departments at
Washington interrupted him.
Undoubtedly your orders were strict,
general" he said, "but 1 happen to
know that they were evaded. For ex-
ample, in east Tennessee you ordered
your men to respect the belongings OF
prisoners, and this is the way some Of
them did it: wore good pair Of army
shoes, nearly new. One day good
natured fellow in gray with no shoes
to speak of walked along our line look
ing intently ut the shoes of the cap
tured Unionists. He put his foot by
the side of mine and, remarking that l
was just his size, added: old Pete
[Longstreetl says he will have every
man shot who steals anything from n
prisoner. To save my life, won't you
trade shoes with me? For must have
them shoes OF course l traded, as
did other prisoners"
At this Longstreet smiled, but Insist
cd that the story didn't prove any
thing.

A VOCAL DUEL.
Tnmngno md LnssaIlc ContenGed,
but 1t Was IA Dead Heat.


Tamngno md Lnssallc Contended,
but IT Was Dead Heat.
Hermann Klein in a book on music
and musicians tells this story: "Once
/ remember our party Of four was join
ed by Tamagno when the celebrated
Italian tenor was playing 'Otello' at
the Lyceum. We all had supper to-
gether after the performance and were
I'm the jollest of moods. Tamagno had q
slight cold on the chest, but protested
that it made no difference whatever in
Che singing quality of his head tones.
Upon this Lassalle offered to wager
that he could sing higher with his
falsetto than Tamagno with his 'voce
di petto' The challenge was accepted,
and forthwith the two began a vocal
duet the like of which l am certain
shall never hear again. Out came Ia
magno's AS and + flats, as quickly re-
sponded to with the falsetto equiva-
Tents from Lassalle'S sturdy throat.
Then the Italian went one BETTER and
the Frenchman, in order, as he said,
to help himself up the scale, mounted
his chair and emitted the Il natural,
whereupon Tamagno also stood upon
his chair and brought out not only a
high G, but a ringing d fiat. Lassalle
was now for mounting the table, but
this being ruled out as an unfair adj
vantage over less athletic opponent,
he proceeded to get the necessary notes
from the eminence of his chair amid
| terrific applause from the rest of the
company. Tamagno now made bold
dash for d natural, but did not quite
succeed, and as Lassalle Jared no bet
ter we pronounced the result dead
