Plenty For the Money.

The dispatches tell that an artillery
company marched 100 miles in ID
days. from one fort in Kansas 10 an
other in Texas. and that at the finish
the survivors were received with
cheers. The stress of the thing must
have been great. for at the finish the
men were in tatters and the internal
framework of the horses was visible
TO the naked and unframed eye. 1t
was a great test of endurance. and on
" one life was lost on the long march.
Perhaps the prowess of the thing will
be told in song and story.
And yet il is going to be a difficult
matter for the civilian to enthuse
about this after he takes time to do a
little figuring in short division. Elev-
en- hundred miles in 80 days; that is
at the rate of 20 miles a day The
farm hand following a pillow hits that
pace: he keeps il up from Monday
morning till Saturday night. and then
dances until Sunday morning To get
the kinks ont of his rusty bones.
Ii is true the farm hand gets $50 a
month. while the artillery man is only
a S14 man. and perhaps this should be
taken into the account in sizing up
and approaching the endurance dis
played. 1t is plenty for the money. and
in the end doubtless serves a good pur-
nose

Care of the skin.

Care of the Skin.
To most persons the skin represents
simply the organ of touch, and because
II Is customary to keep nearly all of its
surface concealed, its relation to the
welfare OF the body is overlooked. 1t
mas, however, most important functions,
sucn as the casting out of waste mat
ter and the maintenance Of an even
body temperature, disregard Of which
may lead to serious disturbances Of
health.
But aside from its purely physiology
cal purposes, the skin is an important
influence for or against personal ap-
pearance, and its proper care is there
fore worthy of consideration from this
point Of view alone
Cleanliness is the greatest essential
TN the care Of the skin. For the cleans
Ing bath, water as hot as can be borne
is best, and a good soap should be free
~ applied with a moderately stiff bath
brush. If the water is at all hard it is
well to soften it by the addition of a
little ammonia or borax. A quick
sponging Of the entire body with cold
water should follow, in order to cause
the pores relaxed by the heat to con-
tract; and the drying should be accom-
plished by brisk rubbing with coarse
towel.
Although the habitual use Of hot wa
ter on the face Is sometimes condemn
ed on the ground that it tends to favor
the relaxation of the skin and pro-
duces wrinkles, there is no danger OF
this If the washing be concluded with
cold water.
The sponge is a thing to be avoided
as it is difficult to keep clean, and
forms a beautiful lurking-place for
germs. One wash-cloth should be kept
for the face alone, and this should be
boiled frequently.
At night 1t is a good plan to rub q
| little pure cold-cream into the skin OF
the face and then wipe 1t off with 6
piece Of soft linen. 1t Is surprising
how black the latter will appear wher
the operation Is finished Cold-crean
and talcum powder and some of the
cosmetics are safe and useful, but
other cosmetics do more harm thar
good.
The development of wrinkles can be
retarded, and If present they may bt
lessened by gentle massage with the
finger tips anointed with cold-cream.
good general rule is to let the direc
ton Of the rubbing be upward and out
ward.
Above all, 1t should be remembered
that cleanliness, exercise, fresh air, sim
pie food and attention to the digestion
are the most important consideration
in the care Of the skin.-Youth's Com
panion.

A Man of Many Friends.


1t was characteristic of the late Sir
Henry Irving to make friends OF
Americans whom he met fn London,
and to show his appreciation Of the
esteem and admiration in which he
was held here. But it would have
been asking too much to expect him
to be familiar with each persons claim
to his recognition. A contributor to
the New York Sun says that it was
often case of "going it blind" on the
part of the actor.
A certain New Yorker arriving In
London found an invitation from Sir
Henry to one Of the famous suppers in
Beefsteak Room of the Lyceum The
alter. He accepted the invitation with
delight. had as good a time as the
guests at these gatherings invariably
did, and ultimately became a close
friend of the actor.
But neither at that first supper nor
at any time later did his host say a
word to explain how he happened to
invite a man he had never met be-
fore. So at last his American friend
decided to question him on the sub
ject.
Tell me, Irving" he said, "how did
you happen to ask me to take supper
with you ten years ago in London
I've often wondered why you did It,"
80 have l." answered the actor,

never able to recall what the reason
was. But I'm sure it was a good one!'
