AN ENEMY TO BEAUTY.

The greatest enemy to beauty is tenn
per. The woman with a bad temper is
by no means the worst woman i'm the
world. She often has a very kind
heart and a very strict conscience. Her
temper itself sometimes lets so many
of her evil thoughts out through her
tongue that her nature is. after all.
quite sweet and kind. But nevertheless
the fever of temper that burns within
her does its work on her constitution.
1t shows itself. too, in the deep wrin-
kles Just above her nose. the long lines
at the side of her mouth and in the
dropping mouth itself, The woman
who is always nursing her wrongs,
wrongs herself more than anybody else
could have wronged her The evil,
bitter thoughts within her shut out the
bright ones that might come and make
her bad company. But, worse still,
they have a direct physical effect upon
her system. Nothing can so ruin ones
digestion as flying into tantrum at
the dinner table. The food taken in
win not assimilate. and the appetite is
lost. The heart is affected and the
circulation is retarded. The nerves are
so wrought up by a constant series of
tantrums that the woman with tenn
ner is invariably q thin, anaemic little
thing. The best way to cure bad tenn
ner is first to convince yourself that
YOU are not really being wronged. Once
you have got in tune with the world

NECESSITY OF FOOT BATHS.

Not only are the feet kept comfort
able but the well being of the entire
body depends much upon the time and
care bestowed upon the feet. The feet
should be washed daily in tepid water
and soap. finishing with dash of cold
water to quicken the circulation and
preventing their becoming too sensi-
tive Friction is indispensable to re-
move tough and callOus surfaces and TO
render the foot soft and flexible. Call
losities may be smoothed with toilet
pumfce stone. They will not occur if
the feet are washed daily. The nails
should be cut square across the top.
If the feet are dry, rub in d little fine
toilet cream or vegetable oil until alb
sorbed If the feet are moist, rinse in
water containing little powdered
alum. vinegar or ammonia. After WHIP
ing them perfectly dry, dust on a little
talcum powder. For feet which suffer
from excessive perspiration. a little
carbolic acid, say twenty or thirty drops
i'm a basin of rinse water is efficacious.
Soda is also excellent to neutralize the
acid of the Precipitation. The hosiery
should be changed daily and the street
shoes exchanged for slippers or low
shoes when at home. AS a rule. the feet
are not sufficiently ventilated. and the
large pores of the Soles rea bsorb much
of the impurities which they throw off.
A frequent change of shoes and stock
ings and exposure to the air when pos
sible obviates much of the unpleasant
OdOr consequent upon constant impriS-
onment of the feet in thick leather. Half
an ounce of borax to a pint and a half
of water makes a good rinsing solution
Boracic acid in powder form may be
busted on feet which perspire disagree
ably, with good results.

THE SONG OF PIE SLEEVE

What a changeable thing is a sleeveI
And why it it the daughters of Eve
Cannot cling to one style
For a rational while
or TO some sort of cut do not cIeavee
old daguerreOtypes make report
That our grandmOthers' sleeves were
worn short;
And If snow fell apace.
They would don mitts (of IaceD
Or to gossamer shawls would resort.
Later on, there developed style
When girl in her sleeve could not
smile,
For it fitted too tight;
And the day seemed like night.
With her arms fast asleep all the while
But Of course, reaction came soon;
Aud the sleeve-tOp became a full moon
Which a touch might destroy
Hence the maidens grew coy
And the gallants bewailed that balloon.
I'm the dropsical mode of today.
There is hope, close at hand $50 to saw
For the sleeve. though not trig.
Is sufficiently big

in Chicago, on the question why rail-
roads run a presidents train. "The
popular idea is," said he, "that the
railroad desires to cater 10 the federal ad-

real reason is a buziness one. The rail-
roads do not carry the President of the
