BEAUTY HINTS.

Nothing is better for the complex
ion than a glass of hot water taken
before breakfast every morning. 1t
cleans the lining of the stomach and
helps to bring life into the tissues.
After the hot water is taken an orange,
or even half of one, is an excellent
thing for the complexion, and when
followed by a dish of some wholesome
cereal and cup of coffee an ideal
breakfast is realized.
For the skin which is inclined to be
rough and full of pimples, sulphur
salve is the best cure which could be
had. This should be applied at night
after the face has received a gnnd
ing the night. In the morning it is
necessary to use hot water to remove
the salve and then cold water is used
on the face. In time this treatment,
if used correctly, will beautify the
complexion and make it soft and vel
vety, and will remove the pimples.
For the expansion of the chest
nothing better could be offered than
the breathing exercise, which should
be done regularly every night before
retiring. Open the window from the
top three or four inches, then stand
against the wall and breathe deeply
and regularly twenty-five times. 1t
will be noticed in a short time the
neck will begin to to fill out and the
bones which have been the cause of
much discomfort will disappear.
Although the old-fashioned people
say that eating before going TO bed is
one of the worst habits which could
be INDUCED in, it is not quite wise
to retire if one is really hungry. A
cracker or something light should be
finely chewed and this will relieve
the stomach and allow the person to
sleep well.

PLENTY TO TALK ABOUT.

how the old mountaineer and his wife
entertained each other:
"Do you and your wife see many
people here?"
"Scarcely ever see anybody, sub, )"

"Then you have to depend entirely

"That's it, suh.'
"And what do you find to talk

noticed that neither was inclined to
conversation.

COUNTRY LIFE.

IL ID uOI yet AAIy yGoAS oAuSC IuC
people of our country villages lived
by farming, the men making their
own sleds, shingles, scythes, brooms,
ak handles, OK bows, bread troughs
and mortars; the woman carding,
spinning, braiding, binding and dye
ing. They sat round great fireplaces
with hanging crane, fredogs and
spit turned by hand or by clockwork
they made their own tallow candles
and used, even on festive occasions,
wooden blocks or raw potatoes for
candlesticks they ate from pewter
kept bright by the wild securing
brush they doctored their own dis
eases by hundred and one different
wild herbs, all gathered near home,
and all put up in bags for the winter
or hung in rows of dried punches.
Soap was made at home; so were the
apple butter, cheese, pearlash, birch
vinegar, cider, beer, baskets. Each
farm was factory of odds aud ends
"a village store in itself, a laboratory
OF applied mechanics.
Now all that period of sturdy indi-
vidualism is as utterly passed as is
the government of the pharaohs. The
railroads have killed it all. Every
process on the farm has been revolu-
tionized by science or mechanical in
vention every article can now be
bought more cheaply than it can be
made at home. The very mending of
clothes now hardly marks the good
housewife; you are told that it is
cheaper for the elder daughter to go
to work in the factory and buy with
her wages new suits of ready made
for the boys. 1t is all gone. The
old life now lives only in tender
memories.
Estates of 900 acres and more,
owned by nonresidents, are rapidly
multiplying along the coasts of the
seas and gulf, the shores of the lakes
and rivers, in the mountains and vii
lagos. Is there reason to believe that
the alteration that has taken place
within fifty years is any greater than
the next fifty years will show? The
property thus taken is not wrested
away from the poor, for if it were Of
| fered as a gift in small holdings it
would not commonly be taken. 1t is
precisely the poor who cannot afford
to hold it under existing conditions !;
it is only available as a toy for the
rich man or as a plaything for his
| children.-Alilwaukee Journal.
A QUAKER had his house broken
into by burglar and several valua-
bles stolen. He did not inform the
police, however, but kept the affair to
himself.
The following evening neighbor
remarked to him: "I am sorry to
hear OF your house being robbed, Mr.:
Fry. Ihope your loss is not heavy?'
Friend" said the Quaker, "thou
must know the extent of my loss. as
we'll as 1 can do since thou art the
burglar. 1 spoke not to a soul OF
what had happened, and thou art the
| first to mention it to me; hence ]
know thou art the burglar and / will
trouble thee for my property" He
got it.

NOTES By A WOMAN.

There are lots of people of ability
and ambition who complain that every
field is overcrowded, and there seems
to be no way of breaking in. Every
body has to hustle and make his or
her own little corner in the world.
The first thing to do is to prove ones
right to do it. Then work, work,
work. The best paintings are yet to
be painted the best books are yet to
be written; the sweetest song yet to
be composed. Perhaps it is not ones
destiny to be the greatest, but there
are modest successes we'll worth hav-
ing. Ones best is the least one can
give. Don't be limited in what you
do by the work of even the greatest.
They were but men and women, and
1 warrant You hard workers. Claim
your own place in the world and don't
allow yourself to be dispossessed if
you'v won fairly.
The busiest person in the world,
and the person who gets the least
credit for industry, is the woman
who is trying to keep up with the
fashions.
Womankind has but short space
in which to enjoy the interval be-
tween paying for the last of her win
ter's finery and the first of the spring
ones.
An auction of unmarried ladies
used to take place annually in Baby
lon. In every district they assembled
on certain day of every year all the
virgins of marriageable age. The
most remarkable was first put up,
aud the man who bid the largest sum
of money gained possession of her.
The second in personal appearance
followed, and the bidders grati6ed
themselves with handsome wives ac-
cording to the depth of their purses.
But, alas it seems that there were
in Babylon some ladies for whom no
money was likely to be offered, yet
these also were disposed of, so provi-
dent were the Babylonians. When
all the beautiful virgins were sold,
the crier ordered the most deformed
to stand up; and after he had open
ly demanded who would marry her
with small sum, she was at length
adiudged to the man who would be
satisfied with the least, and in this
manner the money arising from the
sale of the handsome served either as
a portion to those who were either oi
disagreeable looks, or that had any
other imperfections. This custom
prevailed about 500 years before
Christ.

To the lovers of strange goods the

the merchants contain much that we
would buy were our purses longer. Old
embroideries of wonderful colors, deli

Of cunning workmanship. all these lie

seldom that II really good specimen Of
the Damascus sword ccan be obtaine |,
for the art of working and engraving

These swords were made of alter

edge so keen that no coat of mail could
resist it, and surface so highly pol

KING OF BEASTS.
The Way an Old African Hunter
Poirsss out the Monarch.

In discussing the question, (which
is the king of beasts" an old African
hunter says:
"Come with me to desert pool some
clear, moonlight night when the shad-
ows are deep and sharply cut aud the
moon herself in the dry, cloudless air
looks like ball. All Is nearly as
bright as day, only the light is silver,
not gold. Sit down on that rock and
watch the thirsty animals as they
drlnk-buffalo, rhinoceros, antelope,
quagga: occasionally, II the water Is
large, lions too. But what has fright
ened the antelope and quaggn that they
throw their heads up for n second and
fade away into the shadows? The 9TH
er beasts, too are listening ana now
leave the sides of the pond. Nothing
but the inevitable, irrepressible jackal,
that gamin among wild things. remains
in view.
"As yet your dull human ears have
caught no sound, but very soon the
heavy tread and low, ruinbllng note OF
an oncoming herd of elephants reach
you. They are at the water. The
jackals have sat down with their tails
sraight out behind them. but not an
other creature is to be seen. The king
drinks. Not sound is heard. lie
squirts the water over his back, makes
the whole pool muddy and retlres sol
emnly, leaving his subjects, who now
gather round, to make the best of what
he has fouled.

A THEATRICAL. MUSEUM.
Treasures of the Property Room of
the Theatre Ffancafs.

Great passions will ever carry 1t over
great upholstery II you give them their
chance. TO this day the only setting
of the chief scene OF "La Malade lima
ginaire" at the Francois is an arm
chair. II Is carried ON by q couple of |
lackeys, as though it had just been re-
moved from a furniture van, and is
planted right in the middle of the
stage. That chair is the very one In
which Moliere, playing the part of Ar
gan In his own piece, suffered the first
shock of the illness that carried him
Off. 1t is but one of the treasures Of a
house that u perfect museum not
only of historic properties. but of the
whole art of the stage.
In the greenroom, as Nj. Delorme, its
historian, has told us, in the committee
room, In the office of the administra-
tor, I'm the archives, in every part of
the theater to which the public has no
access, there is a prodigious mass of
full length portraits, of medallions, of
genre pictures, of engravings, draw
ings, marbles. bronzes, of statuettes.
These, with the works exhibited in the
public rooms, form n unique collection
whereof every piece belongs in some
sort to the history of the house of Mo
liere.
The museum of accessories Is as rich
In its way as the museum of painting
and statuary. Here we may find the
mandolin used In "The Barber of Sc
ville," an instrument of rare beauty
of form, purity Of tone and antiquity
Of make. Here, too, is the original gui-
tar of "The Marriage of Figaro" When
the piece came out in 1884 the man
agement thought 1t was so sure to fail
that 1t was not worth while to buy
guitar for the hero. An instrument
was accordingly hired at 10 francs q
night. The piece ran for fifty nights
tremendous success for that period
and in the excitement of this sur
prise the conditions on which the gui-
tar had been obtained were totally for
gotten until the owner presented his
bill for 500 francs.--Richard Whiteing
in Nineteenth Century.
