Sonm Useful Miscotliii on Whitening
nnd Softening the SUIn.
For whitening tho tkin few things nro
mora highly esteemed in tlio femliiiiio world
than ulmniiil paste. This, however, should
bo tlio real article, anil not it eomM)uud of
lard or other fatty substances with almond
oil. A rvclo for puro almond paste, to
gether with useful ndvleotm tho cam of tho
hmid, Is given as follows by The Iulyj
For hands thnt nro con mi and rod Iho fol
lowing treatment will soon elTect a clmugo,
but it must Ihj h'mw cixil in, as It Is ipilto
iniKvsllilo to chaugo tho color nnd textum of
tho skin In u few days. Your Hint precay.
tlou must bo to use warm water always; but
if yon aro subject to rheumatism or chil
blains let It Isi of medium warmth only.
Keep u pot of lino o-itiueal a id u pull' on
your washing stand, dry the hands with n
bath towel, rub briskly and dust witli oat
meal. At night uhi rather warmer water,
apply n Itesh or ordinary nail brush all over
tho hands, mid when qulto dry apply almond
pnsto and sleep in easy lilting gloves.
To make good nhnouil pnsto obtain of bit
ter mid sweet uhiioiuW two ounces cneh,
pound () n pnsto In a tnorlar and work up
with half an oiinco of Windsor snap cut In
fiuo shreds. To this mid two drums of
BiH'rumcct! mul half mi ounce of oil of
almonds, oil of licrgnmot tvvdo drops, Sub
ject to gcntlo heat, stir well ami cool in
china iots.
A mixture of honey, lemon julco and can
do cologuo is exceedingly useful to whiten
tho hands, when discolored by sun, wind or
work, anil may bo kept mixed for tho pur
poso in u small toilet Jar. Tuko it w iueglass
ful of each Ingredient nnd mix well; then
pour Into tho J'ir and keep closely corked.
This may bo applied night or day, mid tho
Insido of tho lingers rubUsl with puinlco
stone.
When tho linnils nro of good color, but tho
skin lacks softness, glyccriuo is useful, but it
has no effect on tho color. Tho hands mny
bo, howover, groatly improved in texturo If,
nftcrtho nightly wash, they nro well coated
with glyccriuo and illpcil Into oatmeal or
well powdered with tlio same. 0 loves aro of

Tlio bran is used qulto moist.
When to Keep the Kjes Shut.
Wo nro told to keep our oyes over cti, but
it is often well to kisp them shut. Ono of
tho chief onuses of nervous dlsensu is tho
(training of tho eyes and tlio constant tension
of tho mind. When stretched out In tho bar
bur's chair do not try to read u uuvvMxipor,
but closo your eyelids under tlio soothing un
dulations of tho lather brush, or the dreamy
sensation of tho sIiikiiihx), with tho darkey's
big hands gliding over your puto. In n rail
way carriage, instead of staring out your
sockets at tho lauilscnpo that is lniiug torn
Into shreds lieforo you, fold your arms, bow
your head, and listen to tho whir of tho
wheels that niako mi nccompaiiiment to tho
wordless song crooning In your heart.
Again, in tho concert room, in place of sur
veying tho nudienco critically, or watching
tho lienuty of tlio singer lieliiuil tlio foot
lights, shut your eyes onco moro and let tho
muslcsliik into your soul, rocking it on waves
of emotion, and wafting it Insensibly Into
tho idenl world.
Tlio 1'olion of llimimi Teetti.
Tho poison convoyed by human teeth is re
ported ono of tlio most annoying thnt physi
cians hnvo to deal with. Ono of them says:
"I havo under my utteiition severe and most
complicated cases of blood poisoning, in
which the patient had hut slightly abraded
tho hnnil ill tho courso of a light by striking
tho knuckles ngniust tho teeth of his oppo
nent. I havo known hands thus o!snucd only
saved from amputation by tho application of
all tho resources of science. Tobacco or
whisky or derangement of tlio stomach from
many other causes may bo responsible for
this oisonous condition of tho teeth."
Itemoily for null Stones.
Dr. Hobert Knbiu recommends n teaspoon
fill of bicarboiiato of sodium in u tumblerful
of water, drank nt intervals through tho
day, to correct tho acidity of tho system,
which ho asserts to Ik) tho cause of tlio for
mation of gall stones.
SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
How tlio American Young Man Malics
II liiiHflf rrcat'iitahln inxl Agreeable.
"If u young man has somo accomplishment,
if ho can sing u good song, lias a pleasant
faculty for private threatricals, a neat trick
nt elocution nnd especially, If ho ho n good
dancer, ho Is much helped along in society,"
nlUrins Mrs. Hhorwood. However, tho sumo
nuthorlty adds thnt If ho lo Intelligent and
well mannered, ho gets on without nny of
theso helps, but they aro undoubtedly nil
assistance. Above nil ho must never 1k
fatigued, disgusted, bored or anguished In
tho society of ladles. .
According to tho etiquette of tho cast, as
stated by Mrs. Sherwood, a young man
should seek llrst to know tho mothers of tho
young lad I is whom ho admires mid wishes
to visit. Ho should on a llrst visit send in
his enrd. After his llrst visit ho can dis
pense with that ceremony. In mi evening
visit ho should always lo in full evening
dress black dross coat, vest and trousers,
faultless linen, and n white cravat. A black
cravat is crmisslblo, except nt dinner. Ho
may carry his lint and gloves in his hand.
As giving him somuthmg to hold, a cauo
also is a great help to a shy man. Ills feet
should lie In low shoes ami silk stockings if
ho wishes to Is) very moo. This is nut hulls
ponsablo oxcept for dancing, but it is very
liecomiiig. A white cravat is iudiscnsaljlo
for dinner or ball. No jewelry of any kind
excepting shirt studs nnd rings. Tho hand
should Ik) especially oared for, no matter how
big and red ami masculine it is, if it is clean;
the nails U'uuUfully cut ami trimmed. Liko
I3rd Ilyron's, If possible, "n rose leaf, with
half a moon in it," such should 1k his mills.
If ho is nskod to form a theatre party, ho
must bo punctual, in full dress, taking nny
placo his hostess may otfer him, Ho must
not ask to Ihj allowed to send a carriago, or
to pay for his ticket; his hostess does all that.
In this eastern uud western etiquette nro nt
variance.
Tho Well llreil (ilrl.
A social authority gives prominenco to
tho following as things of which a well bred
girl is never guilty:
Sho never laughs or talks loudly in public
places.
Sho never turns around to look after any
ouo when walking on the street.
She never accepts a seat from a gentleman
in a street car without thanking him.
She never takes moro than u single glass of
wine at n dinner or entertainment.
Sho never snubs other young ladles, oven If
theyhapMu to IhiIosm popular or well favored

She never raises her lorgnette and trios to

THE CUni03ITY 8H0P.
Wlir the Year 1000 Will Not ho Conntnl
Among ttin I-ni Yearn..
Tho year Is ra days, 5 hours and 49 minutes
long; eleven minute nro taken every joar to
make tlio year fltVt l-ldnyn long, nnd every
fourth yonr wo have nil extra day. This was
Julius t'lesur's arrangement. Wherodo tluwo
eleven minutes come frontl Thoy como from
tho future, and nro paid back by omitting
lonp year every 1(H) yours, lint If leap year
is omitted leguliuly every tOOIh year, in tho
course of KM) years It Is found that tho eleven
minutes taken each year will not only liavo
been paid buck, hut that a wholo day will
hnvo Iks'ii given up. Ho l'opo (Iregory III,
who Improved on On-mir's calendar In IfiSi),
decreed Hint every centurlal year divlsihlo
by I should Ixi n leap ear after nil. Ho wo
borrow eleven minutes each year, moro than
pay our borrowings back by omitting threo
lonp jcars In thieo eciituiinl years, ami
squnro matters by having a leap ear In tho
fouith cetitiitial year. I'oki tlregory's ar
rangement Is so exact, nnd tho borrowing
nnd paying back balance so closely, that un
borrow more than wo pay back to the extent
of only one day In !t,N'l yiars.
rorelgn New .frmey.
Tho origin of tho nlluslon to New Jersoy ns
ft foreign country Is as follows: "After tlio
downfall of the Unit Nucleoli his brother
Joseph, who had been king of Hpaln, mid his
nephew, l'rlnco Murnt, sought refuge In thin
country, bringing with them groat wealth,
Joseph llouiipnrto wished to build u ixilatlal
residence, but did not wish to lx'comoiicill
ssoii, having lioxsof returning to Kuropo.
To enable, him us an alien to hold real estate
required a special act of the legislature. Ho
trhsltogot one pnssisl in several states, but
fulled. He was chagrined oscclnlly liooauso
Pennsylvania ivfusisl. After this ho applied
to tho Now Jersey legislature, w lilch granted
both hint mid i'linco Murnt tho privilege of
purchasing laud. They bought n tract at
Uonlciitown, built mngiiltlceut dwellings and
lilted them up In tho most cosily manner,
Haro pictures, sculptures, eta, worn profuse
and selected with the greatest care, nnd tho
grounds laid out with exqiiislto taste. Joseph
lloniiparto's residence wns, perhaps, the llnest
luAliiericiuTlioiisauilsufiK-nplofroiualliwirts
of the country visited him and wero treatisl
courteously. Ho was extremely lllx-ral with
his money, nnd gavo great Impetus to Iho
business of tho littlo town. The l'hliailel
phinns, finding Hint he had apparently no end
of money, nnd that he used it to benefit busi
ness generally, regretted, when too late, that
they refused to let him locate among them
selves, mid, to keep up their mortllleatlon,
would continue to taunt Jerseymeii with hav
ing a king with importing tlio klngof HmiIii
to rule over them. Thoy wero culled Bpau
iiirdsnnd foreigners on that nccomit. Hut
theso taunts harmed no one, as tho Jersoy
men lost nothing by allowing liliu to settle
nmong tltein, ami thus "forolgnors," jok
ingly applied to Jerseymcn, has como
down to us long after IU origin has lx-eu for
gotten, except by a few of tho post genera
tion. Adobe Houses.
Adolx) houses nro inndo of uiihurncd brick.
Thoy nro in common use In Texas, .Mexico,
Central and South America. Tho bricks nro
made of lo.imy earth, containing about two
thirds Hue sand nml one-third clayey dust.
This moss Is mixed with wuter and then
pressed into molds of tho required hire. Taken
from the molds tho nilolios are placed on edge
on tho ground mid left to harden In tho sun.
In n few days they nro hnrd, comnict bricks,
without a crack. Thoy nro laid w Ith mud

feet of tho structure, an interval of one week
is allowed for drying, and n similar spneo of
timo U'twccu the completion of the vvnllsand

usually ouo story high, and tlio Insido Is
plastered lieforo tho roof is put on. The dura
tion of theso houses is much greater than
would 1k supposed, ns there are a huiiiIkt
now in existence which havo stood for moro
than a century.
Tho Moon nml tlio Weather.
Superstitions concerning the cir-ct of tho
moon on thoenith are very common, but aro
wholly without foundation in reality. Tlio
relation of the moon to the earth Is simply
that of n satellite, whoso attraction has un
important inlliieuce mi the motion In its
orbit, and on tho shifting level of its oceans,
causing tho tides, it might bo supposed that
if tho moon can attract tho water upon tho
surface of tlio earth she can also attract its
atmosphere, and thus, through movement of
tho ulr currents, have a jxirceptiblo Inlluenco
upon the weather. Hut investigation shows
that as the ncrlel mass is In no way confined
in estuaries or gulfs, its tldo caused by ex
ternal attraction must Ihj slight. So faros
can be indicated by tho barometer it Is too
sninll to bo wortli reckoning, ixing less tlmn
.001 of an Inch.
