FACE DOn'Ts.

Don't wash your face too often, I"
is one beauty's good advice.
Don't wash it at all, " is another's
counsel.
Don't be a goose, - says third,
"but use a little common sense and
wash your face twice day-night
and morning"
Don't wash it oftener. If cleans
ing is necessary during the day, use
a little cold cream. Washing the
face too frequently removes the nat
ural oil in the pores Of the skin, and
thus hardens the cuticle.
Don't use any but rain water or
distilled water. Rain water is, in
fact, the only water fit to wash the
face with. Many beauties of romance
owed their charms to its saving vir-
tues. It keeps the skin soft and vel

Don't be afraid of soap. It is not
the enemy of complexion that many
people consider it. It is infinitely
better for the skin than the dirt which
will collect in the pores after warm
day.
Don't forget, however, to rinse the
face with clear water, after using
soap, because you don't want any
left on the face to clog the pores.
Once day is quite often enough to
use soap.
Don't use a sponge; it no longer
fills long-felt want on the toilet
table, because it is apt to become fill
ed with germs poisonous to the skin.
Use bit of antiseptic cloth for the
hands.
Don't be afraid of a complexion
brush. Used gently, in connection
with toilet cream, it has a wonderful
effect in removing the blotchy appear
ance of the skin.
Don't dry the face with rough
towel if you want to keep the skin
smooth instead, use a fine damask
one, and 'dabble" the face with it.
This preserves the delicate appear
ance of the skin.
Don't think that the skin is as
thick as the hide of the rhinoceros
and treat it accordingly. If you do,
you will have premature wrinkles
and lose delicacy of coloring.
Don't bathe the face with clear
alcohol; it is too drying to the skin.
A little rose-scented alcohol may be
used occasionally to advantage, par
ticularly if the skin is oily.
Don't use water on the face if it is
sunburned. Dip a soft cloth in sweet
cream and lay it over the nose and
cheek. The relief is almost instan-
taneous.
Don't wash the face in cold water
if you have been weeping. 1t only
makes bad matter worse. Instead,
bathe with rosewater and then put a
soft cloth saturated with rosewater

the face, or you will wake up in the
morning with the skin dry and hard.
In the morning it is too late to do the
work which should have been done
the night before.

EVILS OF aarr THERE

If we may judge by its effects on
those who obey its command, our slang
motto, "Get there" is not an ele-
waiting or ennobling one. On the
contrary, it is brutalizing. Itappeals
to the lower and not the higher in
stincts in man.
Yet this motto is quoted all over
our land. It is demoralizing the law,
it is creeping into the pulpit, it
speaks from Our schools, it looks out
Of the eyes of the ambitious, it un-
dermines health and it frequently
destroys all nobility of character.
The old fashioned, slow and sure
methods of attaining competency
are tabooed. The man who spends
half lifetime in making a fortune is
regarded as SLOW" Short cut pro-
cesses, at any cost, are the demand
of the hour. From the time boy
enters school he is goaded on by un-
natural ambitions. He is not salts
fed with steady, permanent growth.
He must progress by leaps and bounds.
Boys and girls are encouraged by
their parents to get ahead in their
classes, even if they must burn mid
night oil and risk their health in
order to do so.
It is pitiable to watch a typical
American going to business in the
morning. He is not content to sit
quietly and relax until the train car
ries him to his destination in the city.
Long before that he leans forward in
his seat and makes ready to leap of
while the train is moving. With
muscles tense, an anxious, worried ex.
preston in his face and nervous
twitching of the hands, clutching
his cane, umbrella, parcel or the back
of the seat in front of him, he wastes
enough energy and strength before
he reaches his Office to execute the
labor of half the day.
The life of the average American /:
feverish, unhealthy and unnatural
We are in too great haste with every
thing and consequently lack poise
In the perpetual rush to "get there"
we are in very great danger of losing
our equilibrium.-OsisOu .SsCsF Mar

In the proper care Of the ears in
childhood, two things have to be con-
sidered-the local conditions of the
ears, and what is equally important,
the general state of the child's health.
As to the care of the ear itself, it
must always be remembered that the
hearing apparatus is piece of very
delicate mechanism, no more suited to
rough treatment than is the ball of
the eye. 1t can be easily injured by
the introduction of a foreign body, or
by blow from the outside. Small
children sometimes push things into
their ears by way Of experiment. In
this case the child's guardians should
keep perfectly cool, and send for a
physician at once. The child must
not be shaken and punished until the
object is removed. and above all the
nurse OF mother mast not grOpe for
Is the way to push it further in, or to
wound, or even rupture, the delicate
drum -membrane-an accident which
may be followed by complete deafness,
and even death, should serious in
f1ammation ensue.
There is perhaps one exception to
this rule of leaving foreign body
alone until doctor comes. Occasion
ally insects fly into the ear, and cause
great anguish by buzzing and hutter-
Ing about. They can be speedily dis
posed Of by dropping in little sweet
oil or luke warm salt water.
As to injury from the outside.
children should be carefully guarded
against any games which include loud
shoutings directly into the ear, and
it is surely needless to add that pull
ing the ears, and above all boxing the
ears, as form of punishment, should
be held criminal offense. 1t may
induce partial or temporary deafness,
complete deafness, and even DEATH
and if indulged in by teacher should
be followed by arrest and public re-
buke.
The care of the general health as
it affects the hearing is most Import
ant in young children, particularly
asitregards the subject Of ventilation,
especially at night. Many children
who get enough fresh air in the day
time are kept half sufocated at night.
Nursery windows must be kept open,
nurses must not be allowed to close
ventilators without permission, each
child should have its separate cot,
placed out of the draft, but with a
good wide breathing space all around
It, and the more a child is constitu-
tionally disposed to ear trouble the
more stringent should be the obser-
vance of these rules.

your nose and chin gifts very intermate
and wen the nose gifts tired it jist goes

kind cause the chin don git tired, es-

the funniest thing that some mems

because they look upon the wine when
it is red-they salso called nosegays.
Noses is used to blow with and snore

TIE VALUE OF COHrEKPEArroN.

The further man advances in years
the more he delights, if his soul has
ever been capable of such delight,
in earnest contemplation, which may
say without exaggeration, is now al
most the only charm of my life-a
charm which is increased by the ma
ture Of my pursuits, and which
thought, the suggestion Of a thought
or ever the feeling of thought, ever
renews.
But this inclination of his mind, a
man becomes less attractive to others
more bound up In himself, and in this
view I am far from unreservedly prais-
ing it. He rejects certain things, has
an especial inclination for making his
own views dominant, and easily re-
treats within himself sometimes, not
wishing to do so if his own opinions
be not received; he feels, in fact, that
he can only proceed on certain track
and therefore desires that those who
would accompany him should take
precisely the same course.
All this may have its inconvenien-
ces, but whatever is human must have
them, and that contemplative life,
which determines its own circle, and
never goes beyond that circle, has and
preserves its compensation in the very
fact that it can not be separated from
it.-Hum60lds Letters To II Lady.

HORSES GRAZING UNDER WATER.

While on cattle station in West
ern Australia, Henry Taunton had
an opportunity of seeing a remarka-
BILE instance of the way in which ami
mails can adapt themselves to their
surroundings.
"On the upper reaches Of the river
there was large pool just fordable
at most times, but In dry season
very low," he says. Among the
horses making their run in the vicin-
ity of this pool, an old mare and a
number of foals and yearlings used to
come down every day in the long,
dry summer, when the herbage was
scant and scorched into dryness.
They waded into the pool until the
water nearly reached their heads, and
stood there for hours, diving to the
bottom for mouthful of succulent
weeds, which they chewed at leisure
with their dripping heads raised above
the water.
"The first time / witnessed this
strange sight was during dry sea-
son, when I was riding with the
overseer in search of some strayed
stock. AS we approached the pool
my companion bade me keep quiet If
I desired to see something we'll worth
looking at. AS we rode quietly up to
the pool saw a group Of horses stand
ing in the water and disappearing
from time to time as they ducked their
heads below the surface. My wonder
was soon at an end, when saw one
of their heads suddenly come out with
a monthful of dripping weeds. Nc
sooner was this mouthful disposed Of
than the head disappeared in search Of
another.
"The overseer told me that during
long drought some Eve or six years
previous when hardly vestige OF
feed was left on the run, and bush
fres had laid bare the sand plains,
the old mare had discovered that
there was plenty Of luscious feed at
the bottom of the pools, which could
be procured by diving for it; and,
having once put her discovery into
practice, she had been driven to do by
necessity.
"The several generations of foals
which she had reared had all followed
her example, although none of the
full grown horses had joined the am
phibious group. Here, then, seemed
to be new variety of horse in evolu-
ton, which, if left undisturbed, might
breed and separate from the run, per-
haps to survive through droughts Sc
we're enough to exterminate all others.
