Rusk,n.. Grocery Adventure.

From time to time in the last few years various men and women of prominence have gone into the gro. cery business to give the poor . chance to buy small quantities at the sAme rate as those for which their ricker brothers buy largo quantities. Usually these plans have failed. for some reason or other. This was the case with Ruskin's grocery, for Rus kin himself found 1t expedient to close it.

BEAUTY HINTS.

With the thousands of square yards of beauty hints that are being dis played in the magazine sections of the newspapers these days it is re- freshing to find such sane and alto setaer sensible beauty hints as those given by Henry M Edmonds, writing Ill the Birmingham Age-Herald.
 Il have been rather amused recent ly," Says MT. Edmonds, "and sadden- Of young people who arc disconsolate because they are not beautiful. It is emusing, of course, to see undue em :, phasis placed upon such a superficial and fleeting thing as personal beauty; but it is sad, as well, for it is serious to those young people, and indeed some of the rose of life's tnorning is stolen away from them if they are not comely.
 s"Nor have I any criticism whatever for the person who wishes to be beau- tiful. There may be many foolish and sinful clements in this desire, but the thing itself is fundamental and given of God, II is the love of order, of wholeness, of unity, of sympathy. It is the delight in rich ness and delcacy of color, in grace of form and outline, in music and fragrance It may be said that the man or woman, young or old, who is not cherishing the dream of being beautiful is living poorly and pitlably Ones estimate of beauty may have changed, may be changing. but the dream ought still to be living in the soul.
 "Wfhat shall we do, who are ugly and desire to be beautiful?
 "Keep clean. Who shall estimate inc importance of a clean body and clean clothes in this matter of look ing ones best?sOr of being ones best for that matter?
 aKeep healthy. some people are irresistible with only the pure con tarion of abounding health, Muddy complexions, dull eyes. sleepiness or mind and soul are the children or nnhealthy bodies and the trump caru of ngliness. The most fascinating thing on this earth is youth. Health ana enthusiasm make it so. and the! car he retained until the end.
 .Keep busy. Nothing is ugly that i, doing the job. We spend most oi nur money, we concoct most of our msanness. we breathe most Of our Sirhs. when we are idle. Being busy may not cure our ugliness, but it will make us forget it.
 aCultivate your mind. The mind win somewhat have it's way with the body. The lustre of the one will steal through the other. There is moreover the principle of the greater ,obscuring the less.
