Ilotb Yoiiug anil Old Thought Blaks Faces I'leaalng 01 ItpuUlr How Ugliness la Ill-ought On Think. You have ft Id your power. If homely, to utake your fact pleasing and attractive. If liundcome, you have it in your power to keep your Uauty up to 40 and beyond it, and to keep growing more attractive. Your face is not sliuud by cliaiice, Thtro ia a cause for the expression usually found on it. If you nre on the pout much of the time; if you are grumbling and growling inside alout your self or somebody elstt, and you have been so doing for years, your faee w ill wear grumble nod growl on it, because what jou think most of the time sha(es your face. If you aredi-ronU-nted, or envious, or j. Pilous much of the tim, discontent, envy and jealousy will carve disagreeable hues on your face. If you are h;inrlsome at 17, aud growling thought takes up a good deal of your time, your lnviuty will be more than half gone by 7 or 30. If you are much of the time discouraged or despondent; if you give way to the blues and w ill not try to fight them off, you will in n few years more find the corners of your mouth turning downward, as you see today on the facer of so many sour and ancient maidens, married and single. This fact that the state of mind you mostly "loop iD shapes not only the face, but the whole body, is nothing new. It is at work all &boit us. A uiaa or woman who is always growling looks growl all the time, and it is not a pleasing look. Their very expression is a breach of the public peace. A man who thinks he knows it all and can't bo tol l any t hing new looks it all the time, and when he streaks j-ou can feel his ignorance and conceit in the tones of his voice. Thoughts make feces pleasing or repulsive. Tht-y carve lines, put in wrinkles, keep the mouth open as it should not be or keep it shut as it should be, and dye the skin sallow or death color or the pink and w-bite of hcaltli. They govern the walk and the way tlie body is carried. A "slouch" or a tramp without pride, ambition or self respect w ill have a slouchy walk, his knees bent and the )oer jaws have dropped or drooping. When 30:1 are firm and decided about anything there is a natural tendency for the mouth to close firmly and the lips to be pressed to gether. Then the mouth and whole lower part of the face grow into that expression of lirmness. If you nre In mind bright and cheerful, making tho best of ever3"thing, willing to please othei's, but not to "toady" to them; if you want to do the "square thing by every body, and want also and insist on having the "square thing" done by yourself, your face w ill take on un expression in accordance with that kind of permanent thought, and it will not lo an unpleasant one. And expression is lour-llftlis of beauty. There aro handsome faces the same all the year round. That's the trouble. They never change. Do they on man or woman, there is 1 rt enough brains inside to make them t-liange. It is inind that rules and sways and pleases and fascinates, and does so to la.t. The more face will hold but a short time if it has no change of expression. It is as natural to like change of expression in the' face as it is to like changes of fashion in dress. And as it i3 natural, it Is right in both cases. I am telling you that your daily thoughts aro not fog nor air nor myths. They are f orccs. They are things as real as things you see and as you think them. They can in creaso 3-our good looks or decreaso them. They can make you fortunate or unforUinate in life or business. They can make you sick or welL "So," say you. If I were to tell you at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning that the building you are working in was to be blown up by dynamite in an hour, and that you .must stay there and be blown up with it, would your face during that hour have on it theespre--ion it would wear at your wedding! If you found out that the girl next 3-ou had caught the smallpox would not that knowl edge aud the fear coming of it change the expression of your face! If yoa should be kept in that fear and anxiety a whole year would not your faeo grow permanently into f neb expression? Now, whGn you are worry ing over anything for hours or weeks ycu are tutting to work a similar power to make your face look worry. I see sometimes in the street a really pretty girl, or one who would be, were not her face t poiled ar.d leing spoiled more and more by the peevish and discontented state of mind she is in a girl who looks as if she had just got off some "hard words" with her mother or sister, or somebody else, and is still going through with it all, and giving them all a piece of her mind, Dut keeping this up does her a great deal of harm. It is bringing on ugliness. It weakens the stomach. It poisons the blood. It drives the best people from hor. It attracts and brings the worst It ruins the complexion. You may not tako much stock In these Heas just now, but you will ia time. You will think more of them three months hence. You will think of them still more a year hence. You can't help thinking of them, be cause these are live truths, and anything that's alive grows. And as 3-ou think of them j'ou will almost unconsciously act them hi:i Le ail the better and healthier and the handsomer for it. You needn't mind what the older folks may say about this. Some of them aro past their time for learning any thin j new. You are not end never should be. 1'rer.tieo ilulford in New York Star. Gen. Sheridan and tho Private. Now I want to say to you. comrades, this, thit I am indebted to tho private ia the ranks for all this credit that has come to me. Ilo was the man who did the fighting, end the man who carried the musket is the greatest hero of the war, in my opinion. I was nothing but an agent. I knew how to tako care of men. I knew what a soldier was worth, and I knew how to study the country so as to put him in right. I knew how to put him in a battle when one occurred, but I was simply the agent Uf take care of him, and he did the work, Now, comrades, these are common sensa things, and I can't say them in very flowery language, but they are true nevertheless, and they ore true not of me alone but of everybody else. It is to the com mon soldier that we are indebted to any credit that came to us. I often laid awake planning for my soldiers' welfare, and I never killed a man unnecessarily. One great trouble with men who command troops is that they kill men unnecessarily. You may kill as many men as you choose if you give them an equivalent for the loss. Men do not like to be killed for nothing; they do not like to have their heads rammed against a stona wall unless for some (rood results. These are the points I made during the war. When ever 1 took men Into a battle I gave them vic tory as the result of the engagement, and that was always satisfactory. Gen. Phil Eheridan's Address in 1S66L ' A layer of leather ia the Iron holder nudcM It cooler to use. REMODELING SILK HATVJ. A natter's Cbat with a tlepafter trwi (Ins Hat Th btylSff "Silk hatsl Yea, everybody, almost, la getting to wear a silk occasionally, If not regularly. It is the cheapest hat a man can wear, anyway." Bo remarked an experienced Nassau street batter the other day. "How so?" "Why, becauso a silk only costs from f5 up, but little more than a first class Derby or soft felt, and it will outlast throe of either. You can ruff up a silk tile into al most any degre of unrecognized disreput bility, and foriI5 cents, or GO cents at most, it can, if it was a good hat originally, be re stored to almost its original elegance. A good silk hat will last a full season if it is not mashed or wet by some accident, and at the end of that time will retain a fair degree of respectability iu appearance. A silk hat never fades, but constant exposiu-e to rain and dust will iu time dim its luster. That, however, is easily repaired by washing and ironing, it tho framo is broken of course the hat must bo 'blocked.' Ironing and block ing are different matters. Now I can have that hat of yours ironed while you wait, but to have it blocked would take two hours. "Watch that hat being Ironed. See, the iron is already hot. He takes a brush, re lieves the nap of the hat from accumulated dust aud arranges the silk fibers smoothly and in order. Now he takes that small iron and rubs the brim around. Bee how the dull, lusterless surface and the abraded places are smoothed down and how tho original shine returns. Now that big smoothing iron comes into play. Ho holds the hat in his hand and rubs the iron lightly but firmly around the hat in tho direction tho nap lies. Tho luster is renewed, battered places are pressed into shaie and kept there, and now, with artful usage and an avoidance of rain, tho tile is as good as new, save that it is a little off in shape. The styles, changing from year to year, consist iu a looser or tighter roll of the brim, more or less concavity to the sides of tho crown, variation in the height of the crown and the 'dip' of the brim, and in the width and material of the trimmings. A very small reduction in the circumference of a hat crown In the middle will make an as tonishing difference in tho apparent shape of the hat when worn. It is this slight change in shape which makes the wearer of a srik tile a well dressed man, a dude or a shoddy imitation of a careful and correct dresser. Styles in hats are beginning to repeat, and the man who has an old shape of some years ago is right in style," "Do many people have hats blocked and Ironed?" "Well, I should say they do. Every con dition of man and woman, too comes in here to get his or her hat blocked to tho cor rect shapo and ironed if it has been wet." New York Mail and Express. Co ITee Culture In Cuba. Coffee culture is not difficult. It is very profitable. And a coffee plantation in bloom is the most beautiful spot 011 earth. If a planter decides to begin at the beginning and create his own "flnca" or coffee plantation, there is first tho selection of ground. This is not difficult, for coffee thrives anywhere iu a proper climate aud fairly well drained soiL A level surface is not necessary, though usually chosen. Ilillside reaches and even hillocks answer admirably. The selection of seed is simply a matter of choice. Seeding is carried on after this fashion. An especially rich bit of ground is chosen where the scmillero or seed bed i3 made. In this, In drills not over ono inch deep and about ton inches apart, the coffee beans, stripped of their outer husk, but re taining tho second or inner shells, are gently laid and barely covered with loose soiL Some six months ore required for germination, sprouting and sufficient progress of the plant to render transplanting successful. Then tho j-oung shoots are placed In the almaeiga or nursery ground from ten to twelve months from seeding. Here they remain under a sufficient amount of cultivation to keep tho soil loose and mellow and prevent weeds from collecting, for about two years. They have been set eighteen Inches apart, and fully 50 jer cent, more in number than will be re quired have been allowed to grow, so that tho most vigorous plants may be selected for permanent use. When the latter stage is reached tho entire plantation, where it is sufficiently level to permit, is laid out in rectangular plats of about 200 varas or 600 feet long and half that width, with caminos or roadways of from twelve to fifteen feet between the plats. The plants, of coffee trees as they aro now be come, are set in cross rows about twelve feet from center to center, in each direction. This done, and the roots well set for the roots develop rapidly and profusely, throw ing out myriads of fiber from a great carrot shaped tap which often reaches a length of ten feet and your plantation is provided with a coffeo orchard which with a fair amount of caro and attention will need no removal of trees for from a quarter to half a ceutury, and will increase in yield each year until about the fifteenth year, when the trees may be said to have attained their best bear ing ago; though many will continue increas ing ia yield until two score years old. Edgar L. Wakeman's Cuba Letter. Methodd of City Schools. In vain have I told you that five hours' daily attention to books, to recitations, to instruction, is all that any growing child can safely endure. "No, nol" you cry, "give them more lessons give them tasks to do at home;" and your children go through their school lives with the shadow of the coming task always falling upon tho task just fin ished. Tho gentle, obedient, loving and affectionate little ones suffer, while the dear bad boys won't even make an effort, and thrive accordingly. The teacher can some times go home with bis work finished for the dav, the pupil never. Now, if I will not permit this wrong to be perpetrated in the school under my charge, you take your boy away and send him to Mr. Examination Hunter's school; and 3-ou tako your girl out of Miss Ilcnest's department aud send her down to Miss Showoff's school; and then you point with paternal pride to the great load of books your little ones stagger under as a proof of the superior effi ciency of those two principals "whom we all respect." Then, when your little girl gradu ates, and Miss Showoff orders all the gradu ates to wear white dresses and tea roses and to come in carriages, and to drape their desks in white, you all say: "She has no right to give cu7 such orders, and it ought to be stopped, aud" you get the dresses and the tea roses and the carriage, and you attend tho reception; and it is all so beautiful, and tho members of tho mutual admiration society do speak so mellifluently buttered honey, as it were that you are as proud of your daughter as a drum major on parado. And then you go home, and your daughter ha3 typhoid fever or spinal meningitis or some other Latin disease, and you lay tha blame on Providence, "Who is to blame if the supply of sham education be exactly pro portioned to your demand for it?

The first Mrs. Tabor, the divorced wife of tho Colorado ex-senator, is living quietly in Denver and is worth nearly a million. She is a shrewd business woman and makes money speculating in stocks and mines. Mrs. Labouchere, wife of tho editor of Truth and member of Parliament, has recently made her debut as a public po litical speaker in her husband's interests. Mrs. Lalouchere was an actress before her marriage, and it was, therefore, no new tiling for her to address an audi ence. Dr. Annie Pombcrger, of Philadelphia, boars the enviable distinction of being the first woman in America who was granted the degree of D. D. S. by a dental college. She looks hardly older than 23, is thoroughly womanly in her ways and earns an annual income of $(5,000 by her profession. Mrs. Julia Ward Ilowe apparently did not look upon her marriage as an end of her school days, for since her marriage sho has learned to speak Faench, Italian and modern Greek lluently, and has ac quired a prfound knowledge of the works of KaC.t, Hegel, Spinoza, Comte and Fichte. Sarah Winnemucca. the Indian princess who attended Wellesley cclloge, and un der the non de plume cf "Bright E3-es" has written some charming frontier stories, is now teaching an Indian school of her own. She reports that bhc has fifteen or sixteen pupils, and is getting along nicely. A feature of James Freeman Clarke's life was his correspondence with Mar garet Fuller. "From 1829 till 1S33," he wrote, "I saw or heard from her almost every day. Thero was a family connec tion, and we called each other cousin. Sho needed a friend. She ac cepted me for this friend, and to mo it was like a gift from the gods, an in fluence like no other." Gen. Boulanger's mother, who is a Welshwoman, is 84 3-ears of age. She lives quietly at Villa d'Avray. Her fa mous son is very kind to her and has al ways shown her a great deal of attention. The old lady's mind began to give way about two years ago, but she is by nc means an imbecile. Gen. Boulanger has just sent to her house all the decoeal ions, gifts, pictures, bric-a-brac, etc., which used to adorn his etudy at Clermont Ferrand. Mr. Wilkie Collins is described as one of the most courteous of correspondents. He is always prompt with his reply, and his letters are as gracefully written as his books. No curt laconics and brusque brevities with him; thero is good nature in every line, and somehow when we get to the end of his chatty epistles we feel there is less of the usual formalism in Ids "Believe me, faithfully yours." IIi3 let ters, which are headed "Gloucester place, Portman square," have a monogram, with a quill piercing the letters, winch is quite a trademark it its way. The celebrated John Dunn, who turned himseld into a Zulu, and is now one of the ten chiefs of Zululand, has just pub lished a book giving some of his experi ences in wild Africa during his thirty years' residence there. Dunn was a big hunter before he became King Cety wayo's right hand man, and the stories ho tells of some of his exploits aro enough to make our crack shots open their eyes. Ono morning he bagged twenty-three hippopotami in thirty 6hots, and during that season 503 of these river horses were viotims of his rille. No wonder big game in Zululand became scarce, witli 6uch hunters as John Dunn continually blaz ing away at every animal worth shooting. Dunn, unlike the other hunters, did not go further afield in pursuit of sport, but 6ettled down, took to politics, married into the best families of the Zulu aris tocracy, and today is the most important individual in his adopted country.

One gentleman's curi osity led him to the roof of his house for purposes of investigation. He then, found, to his astonishment, that the strange appearance was a large swarm of lightning bugs flying slowly north. Chicago Herald. . A TERRIBLE ACCOUNT. SINS WHICH ARE COMMITTED BY THE DYSPEPTIC Non of Us Entirely Guiltless Hating la ft Hurry At Eminent Physician's Ad vlcoXcive the Stomach a Cbauee An Excellent Tlaii. There are two mental sins against the stomach, which bring about a terriblo run ning account, the full payment of which often completely ruins us. Theso are haste and worry. None of us are entirely guilt less in these respects. Wo tell children that it is "bud manners" to eat fast; we likea thorn to pigs when they do it; but I have often questioned whether they were half as much to bo blamed as either the mother, who could not find timo to eat her own meal be cause she was full of caro for othei-s, or the father, whoso one thought Is to swallow his boiling coffee aud get through his steak or chop in timo to catch the train. How mauy homes there are in which breakfast is, in reality, a scramble, hurriedly prepared, hurriedly eaten and hurriedly di gesscd; while dinner in the middle of the day, hi a houso where there are many chil dren, is scarcely less so as far as the mother is concerned, and the evening meal ilnds every body too tired to care to linger over it, or there aro constant calls upon the mother for her attention. This is bad in itself, but it is ten times worse when worry, auxiety, or ex citement adds its quota to the disturbance. DUE TO TllfcJU OWN FA.ULT. American women suffer from nervous dys pepsia to a distressing extent; and they very seldom stop tr eoii;,idr !rvv ; :; vv'. duo to their ovm iduiL or indiscretion. Jut to the extent to which they hurry and worry they aro distinctly blamablo; and where is tho woman who does neither Certainly she is rarely found in the working or profession al clasoos. The homes in which jeaco and quiet reign at meal times, in which food is slowly eaten, and the practice of cheerful conversation persisted in, are few indeed; and still les3 frequently met with are those in which rest for all who arc actively employed precedes or follows the midday meal. Ono of our most eminent physicians, w hose specialty U disorders of the digestion, told me that he found the most effectual method of relief from dyspepsia was an hour's rest lief ore tho heavy meal of the day, and forty minutes' rest after it. There are, of course, but few of our active population who can easily secure so much leisure as this implies, but every one can, in sorao degree, attain to calmness and quiet before dinner every one except the cook, or possibly the mistress; and every housekeeper, no matter what her cares, ought to secure a quiet half hour after din ner. Nature is very patient, but thero comes a time when she no longer tolerates our ig norance if we persist in disregarding her gentle admonitions. She punishes us heavily at last. Thousands of intelligent people con sider it no fault of their own if, after gulp ing down a hasty aud often ill prepared meal, they have recourse to potash or soda for relief from flatulency, or undergo tortures from heartburn. It is quite fashionable to be dyspeptic. QUIFT, LEISURE AND CALM. Let us remember that quiet, leisure and calm are essential to digestion. The scholar who sits at his writing table all the morning, and leaves a treatise to come to dinner, hastily devouring his food while his brain is hard at work over some some knotty problem, and returning at once to his theme, Lsas guilty in thi3 regard as the business man who rushes from counting houso or bank, with a thousand cares upon his mind, or tho mother who cannot find time to sit down for Ave minutes before she has to at tend to tho hungry demands of her family. Each has, in his or hor way, sinned against nature, and must pay tho penalty, sooner or later, fn impaired digestion, nervous irrita bility and exhaustion. Give tho stomach a chauce. It is all a matter more or less of habit. Even tho overworked employe has his hour for dinner, and the least tho mother or housekeeper should exact is tho same privilege. It is an excellent plan In family lif o to keep somo light but interesting book for meal times. In one or two families of my ac-. quainEance tho practice of reading a short psalm or chapter at the breakfast tablo has an excellent effect, aud equally good results follow from a paragraph from Emerson or a good selection from somo poet as au inter lude during dinner. Two good ends aro gaiued by this. First, tho minds of tho com pany are raised above potty details and in terests, and, beyond this, tho fact of listening to something that calls for no effort, aud j et is pleasing, is in itself calming. Worry is for the moment, at least, set on one side; anxiety sleeps; and if tho dinner can be fol lowed by a short rest half tho evils of dys peptic conditions will vanish. Worry is a prolific cause of suffering, if we come to think of it, and probably the most useless and foolish of all tho causes that exist for d3-s-pepsia. Dcmorost's Monthly. Southern KtiKsia's Coal Uasiiis. An important report from tho British con sul at Taganrog on tho coal industry of southern Russia has just been laid before par liament. Tho five coal basins of Russia aro the Donttz, sub-Moscow, Dombrova (Poland), Ural aud Caucasus; of these the first is the one described iu tho present report It stretches over a considerable portion of New Russia, between the Don and tho Dnieper, and includes many extensive seams of bitu minous and anthracite coal, but it contains all kinds of coal suitable for manufactories and household purposes. Tho report goes seratim through six groups of collieries pro ducing different kinds of coal, and describes the modo of working and the results of the more important collieries in each group. Thero are in all 200 collieries in the Denetz basin, many being thoroughly equipped, but others being wholly unprovided with modern appliances. The recent rapid development of the coal industry in this region is said to owe much to the annual conferences of the representatives of tho mining industries. The annual output at present exceeds 1.G00, 000 tons, of which about l.SOO.OOO tons are carried by railway; but it is calculated that nearly 3,000,000 tons will bo available for transport during the present year, besides the quantity consumed in tho neighborhood, Boston Transcript A Hint to loiter Writers. Last year I had occasion to write, for an absent friend, somo very important instruc tions. I wrote them carefully on a half sheet of note paper, which I then handed to a lady to forward to our distant friend. She also wrote a half sheet, and placed them, side by side, iu tho envelope. Timo passed, and although the lady's letter came to hand, my far more important one did not, and serious con&equences followed from tho failure to receive it. After the trouble was over it all came to light. Iler letter was taken from the envelope and minewas carelessly loft in. Moral: When you Inclose a number of pieces of paper In an envelope, be careful to enfold them in one outer sheet, so that all must como out together. SJ. E.
