taking a BATH PROPERLY. !
Some Timely 11 hit* Vpott an Important
Subject.
Bathing is a very important daily
duty, according to the St. Louis Post
Dispatch, yet few people know how to
take a bath to get the most good out of
it. There are certain things that add
to the'comfort of a bath which should
not be missing from a well-appointed
bath room. Every bath room should
have a cork or rubber mat beside the
tub. Woolen mats absorb moisture and
become dingy and unhygienic. Every
bath room should havo attached to the
wall beside the rub, low enough to be
accessible, two small wire trays: one
to hold the sponge and the other the
soap in the intervals of bathing, when
these, articles are not in active use.
Every bath room should contain a set of
shelves on which should be kept soap, |
tooth powder, a can of almond meal, a
jar of cold cream, a bottle of ammonia,
a bottle of alcohol, a bottle of lavendar
or violet water, a bottle of listerine and
a bottle of witch hazel. Of course, the !
woman who indulges in lotions and
bleaches will keep them also. If rnedi- j
cine is kept in the bath room it should
not be mixed indiscriminately with the
toilet preparations but should have a '
section to itself. J
The brushes which very woman needs
for her bath are a tiesh brush for occa
sional use, a rubber complexion brush
and a nail brush. Some skins are kept
smooth by friction; others are rough
ened. It will, therefore, be the part of
wisdom not to indulge in continual j
scrubbing until one discovers which
sort of skin one has. Cold water is not
cleansing. It is bracing; it is harden
ing and it helps to make the skin j
firm, but it is not cleansing. The shock i
of cold water application closes the j
lini'PC nt nn..A Oll.l tLcir rntnln nil + Vv A I
impurities which they should cast out.
So that the woman who wishes to be
elean must wash in warm water every
day and use her cold w ater sponge only
as a skin tonic. When one is fatigued
a sponge hath with warm water and
alcohol will restore one’s strength and
vigor. When one is not well a thorough
rubbing down with oil is an excellent
medicine. f I
Queer story of real life.
A Young Girl Arose from tlic Grave to
Live Many Hapny Year*. |
One night in 1801 a little girl about ,
one year old was deposited on the steps
of the foundling hospital at Brest. She
was dressed with much finery and a note
attached to her skirts told that her
tjame was Solange and that she would
be reclaimed by her father, says an ex
change. The .claim was never made,
however, and in due time the child was
transferred to the orphan asylum to be
educated. As she grew up she de
veloped a most extraordinary beauty:
but her intellect appeared to be very
weak and she suffered from frequent
nervous fits. When she was twelve
years old she was sent out into the
streets to sell flowers, and her beauty
and her modesty attracted many peo
ple’s good will; but she grew weaker
and weaker, and at last she died, or at
least it was thought so. According to
French custom, she was buried in an
open basket, and, as it was winter and
the soil was frozen, she was laid into
the grave covered only with a thin layer
of sand. During the night she awoke,
and, pushing the sand away, crept out
from the grave. Not exactly under
standing what had taken place, she was
not so very much frightened; but in
crossing the glacis between the ceme
tery and the fortifications she was sud
denly stopped by the cry: "Qul vive?”
and, as she did not answer, the sentinel
fired and she fell to the ground. Brought
into the guardhouse, her wound was
found to be very slight and she soon re
covered. But her singular history and
also her great beauty had made so deep !
an impression on a young lieutenant I
of the garrison—Kramer—that he de- |
termined to be her protector and sent j
her to one of the most fashionable edu- j
cational establishments in Paris. Dur- !
ing the next few years Kramer was I
much tossed about by the \var; but j
when in 1818 he returned to rai ls he
found Solange a full-grown woman, not
only beautiful but accomplished and |
spirited, with no more trace of intel
lectual weakness or nervous fits. He
married her and for several years the

Portugal is a weak nation and seldom
considered in speaking of the powers ■
of Europe, but she is in a position now
to be of great importance in the contro
versy between England and Germany.
The only seaport through which Ger
man forces can go to the assistance of
the Transvaal is on Delagoa bay, which
belongs to Portugal, and if that power
refuses to assent Delagoa bay cannot
be used for hostile purposes without
making war against Portugal. The sit
uation is awkward for Germany, if Por
tugal Bides with England, as reported,
for she cannot give the Boers the en
couragement of a military demonstra
tion without committing an act of war
against a power with which she has no
quarrel; but it is still worse for Portu
gal, who finds herself between two fires,
and in a fair way to be burned which
ever way she turns.—Philadelphia
Ledger.
Something to Funder Over.
The sailing tonnage of all countries
fell off 106,000 tons last year, as com- ’
pared with 1894. But there was an in- ‘
crease of about 824,000 tons in steam
tonnage—a very significant sign of the
times. England leads in ship building,!
as a matter of course. Indeed, 62V£ per
cent of the new tonnage launched dur
ing the year was acquired by her, al- j
though there was a falling off in the to
tal credited to her, as compared with
the showing for 1893. Nearly 20 per
cent of the English output went to for- i
cign countries and more than one
fourth was secured by Japan. I

The novel prize contests of the
Omaha World-Herald still continue.
The last one closed February first and
the prizes have been awarded.
The new prize contest just announced
in our advertising columns is to see
who can construct the longest good
sentence in English without using any
letter more than three times. As usual :
the first prize is a S000.00 piano, this
time a Kimball, and five or six hundred
dollars in cash prizes follow:
Of course the object of the Weekly
World-iJerald is to secure new subscri
bers for their popular and newsy
journal.
This is the third big contest of the
kind which the World-Herald has had
to boom circulation and Editor Bryan's
paper, which champions the cause of

deal of it in prizes.
