Color. Women saouIa Wear.

No period ill a woman's fife Is quite so sad as that time whcn day by day she realizes that her youth is surely. even if slowly, departing, and if she is a woman desirouS of retaining it as long as possible then she must turn with increased attention to every de. tail of dressing, more especially ill choosing colors. selecting only those shades that will be helpful to her They must not be too bright and vivid or by contrast, her own will only be diminished. Again, black, the standby of the average middle aged woman, is still more unkind, for 1t proclaims every fading hue and shows up each line and wrinkle with a ruthless hand and increases fourfold even the faint est tint of sallowness in the skin.
 AS in youth women differ in form and coloriug so they do in middle age, says the New York Telegram. There is the fair and florid woman, the thin and sallow woman. Another type is neither stout nor thin, perhaps, but col orlesS and faded, and, lastly, the highly colored dark woman, whose pink cheeks have changed to dull red, too red, perhaps, for beauty, and whose beauti- full dark eyes resemble the brightness of beads or shoe buttons rather than the velvet softness of heretofore
 Taking the fair and forid, type generally inclined to obesity, she may be said to be fairly safe if she will adopt dark colors or shades below the bust line and select those near her face with a view to bccomiNgness. Pale blue. perhaps. has been her color in youth. Now tAe baby blue must be re- placed by soft pastel shades, pale green by reseda and faded hcliotrope must be chosen i: preference to mauve White and crea.=. near the face will be becoming, and Ho. too, will pale yellow Dull black will be better than shiny materials and is, with navy blue will be the ve"y best choice for street wear, but it must not be forgotten that the former requires relief about the face
 Thin, Sallo" women should avoid black as the plague Navy blue is by no means kind, hut deep, rich dark red strong golden l"own and reddish tan are good, and so are warm. deep grays. The colorless type must especially be ware of bright. vivid tones of any col or and select those in delicate coloring in order to bring into relief any re- maining freshness of tint in hair or eyes one may still retain, but which an all too fresh looking shade would totally eclipse.

Bathing the Face.

The Ideas of many authorities are at variance concerning the question of the temperature of the water for bathing the face. A good plan is 10 wash the face at night with very hot water and soap; rinse in clear warm water of same temperature. then apply cold cream to face and finally dash cold water on the face to close the pores This is the most effective way to use cold cream

Toast Better Than Bread.

Toast is better as an article of diet than ordinary bread, says Health, for the simple reason that it Is better cooked and therefore more easily di- gested. The toasting destroys the life of the yeast and eliminates some of the harmful products of yeast fermenta- ton, and the action of the heat con verts the starch Into a more digestble substance

EartsnR SnSdera.

An interesting instance Of the much
discussed ability Of spiders to exist for
lengthy periods without food has been
noted by J. q. Fabre, the eminent nat
uralist, who while studying the habits
Of the spider known as Lycosa narbo-
nensis observed that this spider carries
its little ones upon its back during sew
en- months and that during this time
the young spiders consume absolutely
no food. He concluded from this OBJ
servation that it is the solar heat and
light that for them directly take the
place Of nourishment. In other words,
'sthe motor heat in these young ami
mails instead of being released from
the food might be utilized directly as
the sun, source Of all life, radiates it."

The Sale OF the Manuscript Copy OF
.sThe Vicar OF Wakefield"
Utter incapacity for managing his
own money affairs had brought poor
Goldsmith, not for the first time, to his
last penny, and his landlady to the
end Of her stock Of patience. 1t was in
these, circumstances that The Vicar
Of Wakefeld' was sold to pay the un-
happy authors unpaid rent. Boswell
tells Us that one morning in 1764 Dr..
Johnson received an urgent message
from Goldsmith begging he would
come to him as soon as possible, as he
was in great distress. Johnson at once
sent him 4 guinea and then went over
to see his friend BE found Goldsmith
much excited and in violent passion
because his landlady had arrested him
for his rent. II perceived" says the
doctor, chat he had already changed
my guinea and had got 4 bottle Of
madeira and a glass before him. I put
the cork in the bottle, desired he
would be calm and began to talk to
him Of the means by which he might
be extricated.'' Goldsmith then pro-
duced the Ms. copy Of 'The Vicar Of
Wakefield" lying in his desk ready for
the press. Johnson looked at it, per-
ceived its merits and thereupon took it
to a bookseller named Newberry and
sold it to him for ECO. II brought Gold
smith the money" continues Johnson,
"and he discharged his rent, not with
out rating his landlady in q high tone
for having used him so ill.'-London

Values of Fats and Oils.

There is q remarkable misapprehen.
sion, particularly among many per-
sons Of the more Intelligent class Of
our people, says the Dietetic and BY.
gienic Gazette, as to the food value Of
the fats and oils The muscle or red
meat is a valuable source Of proteid,
but the excessive consumption Of pro
ted invites various diseases which dg-
ure very prominently in the causes Of
death. The fats and oils increase our
resistance against cold and some Of
the causes Of disease. The health Of
many SO called scrofulous children
would be improved by teaching them
to eat more fat. Fats in abundance
constitute very essential part Of the
dietary Of the tuberculous patient. \
larger proportion Of the fatty elements
Of foods would go long way in add
ing to the robustness Of many persons
and saving thep from the subsequent
Development Of tuberculosts.
