The reform movement. lately stirred
up in Rhode Island, and several young

FAIRLY GOOD COMPLEXION.
Features, But Almost Anyone
Can Help a Complexion.

Beautiful women have exercised a
vast influence over the destinies of the
world and the desire for beauty is al
most universal All women cannot
have regular features, but little ju-
dicious care would enable many Of
them to look much better than they
do. A clear complexion is the result
of good digestion and cleanliness,
for all the skin wants is to be allowed
to act and it will take care of itself.
Frequent and thorough bathing pays
for any inconvenience it may cause in
comfort and improved appearance.
Few women are strong enough to en-
dure cold bath without injury. but
bath in lukewarm water every evening
just before retiring is very beneficial.
1t is well to use flesh brush and rinse
off the suds afterward, briskly rubbing
with a pair of coarse toilet gloves.
Every part of the body should be
rubbed until it is in glow. Hard wa
ter should never be used for toilet pur-
poses if it is possible to get soft wa
ter, and the soap should be of the best
quality. Good toilet soap is, on ac-
count of it's purity, excellent for toilet
purposes.

ABOUT TABLE ETIQUETTE.
Cream Cake Requires Use of a Fork
and Asparagus May Be Taken
in Finger and Thumb.

Cream cake, and things of a SINH
lar nature, require fork to carry
them to the mouth; they should never
be bitten. Asparagus, if the stalks are
large and full, may be taken with the
finger and thumb; otherwise. a fork
should be used. Pastry of all kinds,
and raw oysters call for the fork alone.
Peas and beans must be eaten with the
fork. Green corn on the cob must
be held with the left hand only, and
eaten from left to right; if the cob
is too long to hold, it should be brok-
en- in two, the napkin being held over
it during the breaking process. Ber-
ries anG sauces are, of course, to be
eaten with the spoon. In case of very
large strawberries, they may be served
with the stems on, and each dipped
into a small heap of sugar at the side
of the plate. When that is done, finger
bowls uust be beside the dish and re-
moved with it. The spoon should be
removed from the cup after the sugar
is dissolved, and left in the saucer.
Always leave some of the liquid in the
cup or glass from which you are drink
ing, avoiding even the Semblance of
trying to balance the upturned glass
upon your nose.

A typical Indian land, typical blue

Indian rows us across Lake ST. Croix-

close to the shore, and the pine trees ex-
tend thick beyond.
There are dozen or so lakes" passed,
always prettily set, water lilies drows-

go through long aisle of pines; shut in
close, the only view before and behind,
the tree spaces dark and mysterious.
After awhile we come on an avenue,
mile or so long, of baby pines, their
fresh green rising not far above us. The
road is fair, and we spin along pleasant
ly through the woods. And then we
come out upon Deerprint lake. on whose
farther shore stands The Cabin.

they took for a school of fish, while be-

Quarreled because he wouldn't go to
church, and four times each because she
threw his pipe into the stove and be-
cause she wore red ribbons on her hat.
They had three quarrels because the
pump froze, three because the house
smelled of onions, and three because she
made coffee, without an egg in it, Twice
they Quarreled because it rained. and
twice because she saw the moon over her
left shoulder
There were also single or singular
quarrels-quarrels over specific SUBJ
ject, and which, not admitting of CLASH
fication, show up only in the scattering
column. Some of the subjects over
which they quarreled once are these:
Because the black hens leg was broken;
because the COW choked on raw turnip;
because the canary bird died; because
Bryan was not elected president; be-
cause he was not Baptist; because the
house smelled of cabbage; because the
horse ran away; because Germany
wouldn't give up Alsace-Lofraine; be-
cause dog howled; because God made
Eve out of one of Adams ribs; because
alligators lay eggs; because Solomon
had 1000 wives and no end Of concu-
bines; because pineapples do not grow
in Canada; because he fell in the creek:
because he shot the pig; because she sat
down on his hat, and because they had
no children.
We perceive instantly that, although
this reason appears in the singular COL
umn, it is really the subtle, psychic
source of all these unfortunate quarrels.
A couple OF such highly nervous temper
ament should have had at least dozen
children, and some Of them twins. to in
sure safe and sane conjugal equilibri-
um. True, it might have been hard on
the children
In reality, however. the whole causeof
the alleged incompatibility lies right
here. AS all consistent anti-race suicid-
ers know, 1t is the oily branches" that
