Friiy Many 1'iiiplo Drink n flliiM of Water
1 1 (Torn McitM.
A writer In Hcleutllla American having
found relief from long continued dyspepsia
In tho practice now so often recommended of
drinking n glass of water beforo eating, gives
the following explanation of Itsnctiout
In tho morning tho stomach contains n
considerable, quantity of mucus spread over
nnd adherent to IU walls. If food cutcrM nt
thU tlino tho tenacious mucus will Interfere,
tosomu oxUmt, with tho dhect contact be
tween tho food nnd tho stomnch necessary to
provoko tho secietioti of gnstrio Juice. A
glnss of water, taken beforo breakfast, wirscs
through llio stomach Into tho smnll intes
tine In n continuous nud uninterrupted flow.
It partly distends tho ilomnch, stretching
mul to some extent obliterating tho rugiu; it
thins nud wnhei out most of tho tenacious
mucus; It iueivnses tho fullness of tlio capil
laries of tlioKtomnch, directly If tlio, water is
worm, and Indirectly in n reactionary way
If it is cold; It causes H?rIstnlsls of tho ali
mentary trr.ct, wakes It up (so to spenk),
nud gives It u morning exerclsonud washing.
Caru must bo taken not to pivo cold water
when tho circulation, cither loon I or general,
is so feublo ns to mako reaction impiobablo.
Wo should not risk it In advanced ago, nor In
tbufecblo, whether old or young, nor should
it bo given fu local troubles, llko chronic
gnstrla catarrh, hi theso cases It is best to
give warm or hot wntcr. Tho nddltion of
Halt Is very lieuellclnl. Huch n llmo honored
custom ns drinking soup nt tho beginning of
a meal could only havo been so persistently
adhered to liecnuso of it hnvingbcen found
by oxiorlenco to bo tho most appropriate
tlino. It does exactly what warm or hot
water, with tho nddltion of salt does, nnd
more, In thnt It Is mitrltivo nud excites tlio
(low of gastric Juice.
Care of tho Complexion.
Tho best soap In general for washing tho
face is puro whlto Castile, though somoof tho
liettcr kinds of toilet soap aru equally good.
Wlicro thcro is a tendency to eruptions tho
puro Castile soap has a healing effect whero
most soaps will aggravate tho trouble. When
possible, uso soft water to wash In, but m
nround tho city this is Impracticable, n few
drops of nmmouln added to hnrd water will
soften it wonderfully. Aproos of rain water
for tho skin, nn old lady, who at tho ago of
1)7 years had skin as soft as velvet, attributed
it to tlio constant uso of rnlu wntcr In wash
ing. Never uso soap ou tho fnco during tho
day,but Just beforo retiring for tho night
wnsli tho faco w ith a soft cloth iu warm
water, using tho Custllo soap liberally. After
drying tho skin, rub it well with vaseliuo or
cold cream; In tho morning wash this oft,
using a very llttlo nmmouUtor soap in tho
wntcr.
A few drops of tho spirit of enmpnor
added to tho wnslt w nter twice n week Is good
to whiten the skin.
Many women who nro In tho country for
tho summer loso much benefit of sun nud
fresh nlr through fear of getting tanned it
they go out except nt certain hours of tho
Iny. It beforo going out they will powder
tho faco well tho danger Is much lessened.
Baby powder Is very nlco to uso for this pur
pose, but If this Is not nt hand magnesia or
oven Hour will do very well. Thcro nro fow
things moro painful, and seemingly so slight,
ns sunburn, mul tho best remedy for this nf
fectlon Is tho old fashioned one, invnrinbly
recommended In tho country, of using plenty
of buttermilk. Batho tho parts affected lib
erally nnd often, allowing tho liquid to dry
ou, nnd do not rinso it oft. It is very cool
lug nnd rclioves tho smarting instantly.
Croam is also used for this purpose, but it is
not any better than tho buttermilk.
SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
Urlps and Hindrance to u Successful
Dinner l'nrty.
Thero nro many whoso wealth and position
entail upon them n certain amount of enter
taining. Having, perhaps, no special motivo
for giving dinners, they Invito jieoplo to their
houses becnuso it is rather expected that they
should.
At nil events, peoplo must ent to live, nnd
may ns well mako that necessity ns ngrceablo
in tho pcrformnuco ns os.sihlo; so tho ques
tion is, what constitutes n pleasant dinner?
First nud foremost, of course, tlio meats aud
drinks; for it fnlluro is there nothing can
mako up for It, But supposing that part to
bo crfection, tho uoxt thing Isperhnpsnot
to let tho dinner last too long. "Linked
sweetness lorn; drawn out" U nil very well;
but ono mny hnvo too much of a good thing,
and thcro is sometimes' n sensation of thrall
doni fcltnt dinner parties which is anything
but conduct vo to brilliancy, or oven cheerful
ness, nnd although it may happen that ono'
neighbors nro exceptionally agreeable, that
is not invariably tho case, and whou it is
not, conversation Is apt to flag nnd to re
quire Ucrhumau efforts to mako It go at all.
A clover hostess will alwnys try to invito
such guests us nro iu harmony with ench
other; hut is impossible to manage this
sometimes, so that allow nnco must botnado
for tho humau lumps of lend who havo to bo
asked, nud also for tho electric bort of beings,
who carry with them au ntmosphcro charged
with elements of storm aud disturbance, nnd
who nt an over long dinner becomo irritable
and argumentative, whllo the leaden ones
foem to grow heavier tho longer thoy sit, Tho
hostess hcru.it is, of courso, one of tho great
est helps or hindrances to n dinner. Hclt
possessed nnd quiet, drusscd liecomingly to
butt her own stylo, nnd nbovo nil never flur
ried or distraite, but w ith eyo nml enr on tho
nlort, si 10 is charming, even without beauty
of feature, and her influonco over tho table
is great, oven w lieu the party is so largo that
conversation is practically n series of tcte-a-tctc3.
Bho cau nud .vlll, when ono of tho
pauses occurs which always docs occur
some tlmo during tho dinner provoat tho
traditional "angel" being tooslew iu passiug,
by (hiding tomo tuple to start her guesta
upon ngaln, or some lively rocrl to mako
them laugh.
As regards tho gues, Jt U liupo33lblo not
to feci ut time? that such sacrifices havo been,
made r.t tho sluina of jwlloy r.s to spoil tho
real brilliancy r.ud pleasure of tho party.
People are asked solely beeauso of tho valuo

Avoid l'ault Finding.
Bo careful not to cultivato a disposition to
dud fault or depreciate. Indiscriminate
praiso is nauseating; but, ou tbo other hand,
indUcrlminuto condemnation Is irritating.
A man or woman of tho world ought to have
good appreciation aud good depreciation
that Is to say, n keen sense ot tho merits ot a
thing and au equally keen senso of its faults,
with tho good tasto to speak moderately

Another story about land speculation In

(hat a laud schemo wns organized nt Ios

entered heartily into the ontcrprlw. Among
tlio subscribers wns n traveling salesman,
whoso business chanced to tako him to tho

ngvutwhohnd so badly tricked him. Tiint
olllclnl leeched him with bland urbanity
nnd listened to his explanation with nn

wrong, "your laud Is all right. At present,
