After 4 Ride on the Water.

One OF the drawbacks to boat-riding
in Summer time is the action of the
sun and water on the skin. If you
carry with you on such trips, a book
of the powder papers to be had of any
reliable druggist. and wipe your face
with one of the powders every hour or
so, sunburn and all its unpleasant ef-
fects will be avoided. If you perspire
freely, use the powder to wipe the face
as often as once in half-hour, as the
moisture on the skin, combined with
the sun and wind, will produce the
most painful kind OF sunburn.
On returning from a ride on the
water. or in the wind, it is best not to
wash the face with water, but rub it
gently with cold cream applied with a
bit Of soft flannel; the cream may be
removed when the face is cooled off
The constant use OF powder is, Of
course. injurious, but judicious ap.
plication to the face and neck before
going out in the sun, or wind in the
Summer, is very beneficial

assume that everyone in the civil
lied world has taken dose of quinine.
1t is the universal drug. Its value is
unappreciated by the masses, who use
it only for colds and fevers-the same
thing. As q tonic it is unsurpassed.
As an Alternative it has no equal in the
naateria medica. l heard a distin-
guished surgeon say: "If I wanted
to ferment barrel of cabbage in less
time than anybody else could do it |
would put in an eighth OF an ounce of
quinine. A little quinine in the dis
ordered stomach acts just about as it
would in the cabbage. 1t hastens the
assimilation of the food and restores
the normal conditions"
Habitual users of qninine are slaves
to it, but derive little benefit from it.
Men with malaria eat it by the ounce,
and still keep the malaria. The
world is full of quinine drunkards,

only king that ever embarked in the

The discovery of cinchona bark is
enveloped in mystery. The wife OF
the Spanish viceroy in Peru was
Countess Chinchon. She was cured
of an intermittent fever by drinking
an infusion of the bark, introduced it
in Madrid and bestowed her name upon

this into cinchona. That's one story.

The hosiery and its patrons wore an
unaccustomed air. Guests were there
in plenty, but hardly face he had
ever seen. Yes, over in the corner
was man he knew, Henry Browne
but the woman! Edward looked away
in angry contempt. He had no idea
that Browne was like that. And the
other wOmen-young, gay, several of
them pretty. But he shrank from
their remotest contact. Edward had
married young, and never ceased to
love his wife.
Seven-thirty past! His friend not

looked! He would never bring May

Another is that the Jesuit missionaries,
who were accustomed to taste the
bark of every tree they hewed down,
discovered the precious febrifuge. A
third is that certain animals while in
fever happened to gnaw the bark of
the cinchons tree and were cured. A
fourth is that some persons suffering
with fever drank copiously of pool OF
water in which some fallen cinchona
trees had long been soaking, charging
the water with the medicinal principle
Their speedy cure led to an investiga'
ton which discovered quinine.

The Debt-Payins Power Of Money.

The Debt-Payins Power Of Money.
An office boy in London owed one oI
the clerks three halfpence, says It'd
Bits.
The clerk owed the cashier penny.
The cashier owed the boy q penny.
One day the boy. having a halfpenny
in his pocket. was disposed to diminish
his outstanding Indebtedness, and paid
the clerk, to whom he was indebted
three halfpence, one halfpenny on &C.
count.
The clerk, animated by so laudable
an example, paid one haltpenny to the
cashier. to whom he was indebted one
penny.
The cashier who owed the boy a
penny, paid him halfpenny.
And now the boy, having his half.
penny again in his hand. paid another
third of his debt to the clerk.
The clerk with the said really "cur-
rent" coin squared with the cashier.
The cashier instantly paid the boy
in full.
And now the lad, with the halfpenny
again in his haud, paid off the third
and last installment OF his debt OF
three half-pence.
Thus were the parties square all
round, and all their accounts adjusted.
