We do not give enough attention
While the flavor is not suitable for
the table delicacy yet it is one of the
most valuable branches of the beet
family. The roots of the mammoth
long red variety, which is described
under a thousand different names,
usually attain length from eighteen
to thirty inches and a diameter of
from five to ten inches and vary in
weight from five to thirty pounds. In
England on the sewerage farms speI :
mems have been grown to weight of
over ninety pounds each. The yield
per acre is enormous and almost with
out limit. Kept in a cool place the
roots will keep well and furnish ex-
cellent feed for all stock and are es-
pecially suitable for milch cattle as it

hair?"

1t was cheap watch. He said:
What pocket are you going to
carry your watch in-the right or
LETT?
Il told him the left.
Then, said he, I will regulate 1t
for the left
Il asked what difference 1t made.
and he declared that a watch runs
faster on the left side than on the
right, so to keep it from gaining time
he regulates it accordingly. In fine
watches the difference is hardly worth
considering, but in watches of cheap
make like mine 1t is very noticeable
l asked for a scientific reason for this
variation He could give none; said
he only knew ii was true, and then,
whether he was taking or not, he pre-

HEALTH AND BEAUTY RAISE NORE CATTLE
LARGELY DEPENDENT ON THE
DAILY BATH.
Imperative That the Skin BE Frequent
ly cleansed of lmpurities-Psin
and Suffering Are Sure to
Follow Neglect.

A daily bath should be part of the
moral laws Of every class Of society.
II it is an impossibility to plunge daily
into bathtub, or if the doctor for
bids a plunge bath, the sponge bath
will prove sufficient for all purposes
of cleanliness or health.
The human skin is a complicated
net. whose meshes must be kept open
and unclogged. in order that through
them the body may throw off its i'm
pure secretions. which must be gotten
rid of under penalty of pain and sur
fering, and sometimes death.
The healthy action Of the skin is
stimulated by by the opening of the
pores in the bath, especially if 1t Is
followed by friction with brush or
rough towel, etc. Massage can be
dispensed with If the touch Of q
strange hand is objectionable.) Many
feyers and contagious diseases might
be avoided by these means.
In cases of internal Inflammation,
bilious collie and congestion there is
no surer remedy than the hot bath.
This bath has also effected most as
tonishing cures of obstinate constipa-
ton. When a person has been exposed
TO a contagious disease ne should i'm
mediately take hot bath, There Is
always a possibility that the disease
will pass out through the pores Of
the skin. 1t should be remembered
that 1t Is very important to cool off
gradually. Cleanliness of the skin
has a decided influence on the assim-
ilation of food by the body. 1t Is
known that well-opened pores make a
far finer skin than uncleanly people
can boast.
Think of the unfortunates of the
Middle Age ignorant of the blessings
of the bath ''One thousand years
without baths!" exclaims Michelet in
one of his histories. Think of the
pestilence, the hideous diseases which
at that time scourged poor humanity!
In the time of Henry w. the habit Of
bathing was still rare, for 1t is record
ed of one of the great men of the day
that he asked why the hands should
be washed and not the feet. How
horrible!
If we knew the personal uncleanli-
ness of the beautiful women of to-
day at the court Of King Sun we

comhinlnn coIors.

When two colors do not look well to-
gether separate them with white when
ever possible. Many persons possess
an idea that every combination can be
toned" with black This is a mistake.
Black lowers the tints when placed
in contact with them, but it becomes
Gull in itself, besides imparting a Ger.
tain amount of dullness to the colors.
White, on thn contrary, takes tinge
of the colors it seeks to modify, thus
lessening the dead wilderness and at
the same time lessening the intensity
of the tones with which it is combined.

The Lost Leisure.

Leisure is gone-gone where the
spinning wheels are gone, and the pack
horses and the slow wagons. and the
peddlers who brought bargains to the
door on sunny afternoons. Ingenious
philosophers tell you, perhaps, that
the great work of the steam engine is
to create leisure for mankind. Do not
believe them; it only creates vacuum
for eager thought to rush in. Even
idleness is eager now-eager for
amusement; prone to excursion trains,
art museums. periodical literature
and exciting novels.-George Eliot.
