The GIom That SIiIiic.h.
Tho gloss that shines on the collar and cuffs
of tho city youth often causes tlie civvy of his
country cov.u.i. We do not greatly admire
this high polish, except thut it does repel dirt,
and linen will keep spotless much longer than
with the ordinary surface. A skilled lann
drynian, when a-skod -.v hut was the secret of
this work, replied: "The secret is pressure,
nothing more." The pressure of moving hot
cylinders is used in steam laundries. In n
recent visit to a steam laundry we were much
interested in tho patent appliances for iron
ing cuffs and collars to make tbctu look liko
new, and we found the linen was ossed be
tween two moving hot cylinders, under a
pressure of 120 pounds, and thus received tho
high jiolish. liut tho ordinary ironer will
succeed well if after being sure that the
articles are washed thoroughly, rinsed free
from all traces of soap, and dipped in pure,
clean, Loiled starch, not too stilt. She will
use clean, smooth irons and liear down
heavily upon tho linen with tho rounded edge
o the iron. There should bo no sort blanket
for it to sink into, as the polish is produced
Jy tho flattening of tho linen through tho
f trsssurc.
There are patent glosses and starches of
Ytriou:-; kinds widely advertised to produce
polish on linen, but it is lx-st to adhere to tho
common starc h bought in the bulk and of the
best grade. Some jxuvons stir tho hot 6tarch
oi'ce or twice around with a spermaceti can
dle kept for tho purpose, and others add a
Lit of clean mutton tallow, but it is best to
ad I with caution all foreign substances, sue!

The Toueli of a Mother Hand.
"Why is a mother's hand on the head of a
tick child so soothing? Because her lovo
supplies electricity, which is a curative forco
and a tonic. Animal electricity is an agency
not so well understood as it should be by
women, though they use it continually. It
is erroneously confounded with the massage
treatment, which is nothing more or less
than merely rubbing the entire body. Ani
mal electricity is imparted by careful manip
ulation of the muscles, performed by gently
stretching them with both hands This pro
duces an elasticity of action which causes
them to rise, thereby increasing their power
to act.
"Women, whose fingers are supple and yet
strong, can best impart electricity to their
children. The treatment should be applied
mainly with tho fingers. When tha nerves
aro prostrated they can be invigorated in tho
sosno way. They should be gently pressed
in one direction and another, which tends to
increase their vitality. The general circula
tion can bo increased by lightly moving tho
Lands over the surface of the blood vessels,
not rubbing them briskly, but using enough
forco to quicken the circulation. Women
coil become thorough animal electricians if
they will bui devoto themselves to a careful
study of anatomy. The world is full of half
invalid women, who should be restored to
health by this natural method. Woman's
Argosy.
Care of the Face.
Koap should not lie used on tho face, U3
there cro chemical which shine and dry tho
skin. One scrubbing a month is a sufficiency,
unless one has been traveling through a CQal
mine. The best way to make up tho face is
to rub it with a soft linen or chamois cloth
till all tho dirt comes olT. Tho friction should
bo suHicieat to quicken perspiration, thus
opening tho pores of the skin without irritat
ing it. When tho cloth rubs clean dip it in cold
cream, and after working it in tho face rub
it dry.
There aro creams and creams, but if tho
pure dairy product cannot bo procured, hero
is a substitute that can be warranted. It
vill cost in the neighborhood of S3, but half
the quantity prescribed will sufQce for six
months: Almond oil, 20 grains; spermaceti,
00 grains; white wax, 30 grains; tincture ben- j
soino, 15 grains; oil or rose, o crops. jj.ei
wax, sjiermaeeti and almond oil in a hot water
bath. Remove from the tire and stir until
snowy; then add tho other ingredients and
beat until cold and white. Bottle in a paste
vial or jelly cup with glass cover, and uso
whenever the face need3 cleaning. Don't tell
your husband, or ho will fancy you are greasy
and make your life miserable. Chicago In

An Invalid's Appetite.
In the matter of food it is important Uj
r.leaso tho eye of invalids. They should ear,
from delicate china and glass. One expert
nurse always serves beef tea and milk ia a
wine glass one of the thin, bell shaped glasses
that hold more than they look to hold. A

Kick children especially are amused and
phxuifd with the color and pattern of the cups
and dishes, and thero is a trace ot the fretful
child in every invalid. There is something
very tempting in a mall quantity. It docs

just us little as you judgo tho invalid want

with food will take awuy all appetite, while
a small plate or Kiuct-r, especially if it is a

keeping. Tu(i Origin of Lore.
Tho poetical account that is given from
Aristophanes of tho origin of love explains
the old idea, which still vaguely survives, that
every wul has somewhere its particular mate,
und explains also the tribulations that occur
in hading it. According to this poot-philos-opher
there were once three sexes, descended
resn--t i vcl y from the sun, earth and moon,
and each hud a duality of hcud.4, arms and
legs. Hut tho lieings so endowed were round,
and revolved about with the facility of a
l-'ourth of July lire wheel.
In process of time tLcy grew so fierce and
powerful that Zeus was put to his wits' ends
to know what to do with them, as they at
tempttd at one time to storm heaven and
overMwer even the gods, lie did not wish
to destroy them outright; "ko ho directed
Apoll-j to cut each of them in two, which
was done; und thus the nuinlter of human
beings was doubled. Kach of these half be
ings now continually wandered aliout, sock
ing its other half. And when they found
each other their only desire was to be reunit
ed by Vulcan and never bo parted again.
And this longing and striving after union
that is what is meant by the namo of love."
As the separations that necessitate this union
were nun loin heaven, we can now sco wht
idl jierfeet matches aro supposed to bo or
dained there. The iil assorted and irritable
ones are those that spring up without knowl
edge nnd in a haphazard fashion, whereby
two halves that never belonged together ar4

mcpolititU. Train the Children's Hearts.
.So soon us a child is old enough to le cinel
it is old enough to learn of mercy. The little
one who lauglis at tho dj'ing agonies of tho
butterfly it crushes in its chubby lists is old
eiiough to be taught tho sin of inllictiug un

Train the children; train their hands, train
their hc-atL: and alxve all train their heart?,
and our future will be one of good men aud
women.
"The Ijcginning is the half of the whole," as
tho old t! reeks said. Touch a child's heart,
make it to vibrato with the sufferings of
another, make it to have sympathy sym
pathy in its truest sense a liko suffering for
any object of distress, and the child willingly
goes to the rescue. Make the young to have
pity for tho leasts that eunr and are dumb;
teach them of tho uses that animals are to
man; how blank and hard our lives would be
w ithout their service; tell them how much
we owe our friends in furs nnd feathers, and
then we reach a higher work the moral ob
ligation of man as a superior animal to pro
teci the weak and defenseless; and so we pro
ceed until that highest sphere is reached
man's duty to man; but tho task grows
lighter, the corner stone has been laid, for tho
child that has learned to love and protect the
dumb auimals will never le cruel to a fellow
human being. liew Orleans Picayune.
Hands and Household Work.
Household work and neat hands aro not as
incompatible as they seem, if every means
possible is used for tho protection of the
hands. I w-ill not say pretty hands, becauso
work must enlarge the joints, thicken, and as
one grows older, mar tho shape; but with little
trouble a working hand may be kept soft and
white, with regular, smooth nails. First,
there are rubln-r gauntlets, costing a mode
rate price. They can bo worn while washing
dishes, dusting and sweeping, and in doing
uny work that will not cut tho rubber. An
old pair of buckskin gloves, with plenty of
newspaper, w-ill keep tho hands spotless ia
trimming and cleaning lamps, and free from
the lampblack, so permeating and hard to
remove.
Iu short, the rule must be : Whatever can bo
done with gloves, muse never be done with
out them. When work is done, wash the
hands in tepid water, pressing the skin back
at the basi?of the nail with tho towel as you
wipe them. Four in tho palm a few drops
of glycerine, rub well together, and wipe
tlry. If sticky, powder lightly with starch.
At night anoint weil with glycerine, and
sleep in gloves, or powder thickly with
starch, which will whiten, as well :.s prevent
soiiin, tho Led clothes. Clara Grundy
Eeirno in Good Housekeeping.
The IVoman of California.
I must mention two unmistakable physical
features of the single and sincere California
woman. The first of these is her early de
velopment. I was called upon to address the
young ladies of our celebrated Jlills semi
nary tho Vassar college of tho Pacilie coatt
not long ago; but before I had been five
minutes on the stand I found I was speaking
to women women in body and women iu
mind.
A second and singularly beautiful featuro
in the coming Californian, this new woman
of tho new world, is her golden hair. When
called upon to rpcak to the girls of the high
school of Kan l-'rancisco a few weeks ago, it
was liko looking over a yellow harvest field.
And I count this very singular, for wo havo
a dash of Moorish blood here the Moor of
the Aihambra, the Arab of the Jcsuii fathers.
Wc havo some of the pure Castilian, it is
true, but nearly all our Spanish blood is
plashed with tho tawny blood of either tho
Moor or tho native American Indian. The-i
again we havo the Kanaka in our schooL;.
There are also many swarthy folk from far
down the Pacific seas. But over and above
all these towers tho tall California girl, her
head and shoulders laden with ripe wheat.
Joaquin Miller in Jfew York Star.
Genaau Uherty of Fashion.
Thero is, broadly speaking, great liberty
in fashion in Germany, and this is one of
the best features of the time, giving, as it
does, free play to tho fancy and individual
tasta of one aud all, and making it possible
to dress more in accordance with the roquiro
incnti of personal peculiarities, economy, ego
or health, end yet not appear old fashioned.
Tho chief nim in tho choice of dress should be
individuality. What is thanAing 6a one
I would b iudlcTOu on another. The elderly
muat dress differently from the young; stout
people cannot wear what suits slight jieople.
Much unnecessary expense might tie avoid
ed, without detriment to tho bmuty of drew,
if women only understood more the value of
i what ther buv and of dressmaking. Lin

lN-iity of Virginia Girl.
I know not whether it is tho simplicity of
their lives and horseback riding; whether it
is a Ix'iletic vnt gift of thete high altitudes, or
w hat, but the women generally aro possessors
of the most traiiMvudcnlly fine complexions
I ever iw. Nor is their beauty entirely su
perficial, cither. They have to a largo de
gree that highly desirable quality which is
so universally admired and, unfortunately,
so ruro in Americu good conversational
voice. Their manners, too, have a jxvuliar
charm, distinctively their own, as fresh and
graceful as this wild honeysuckle thut no
where else grows so abundantly und beauti
fully as on their wooded hills. American

The Trustworthy American Girl.
The innate sense of propriety of a well
bred and well intentioned American girl is
absolutely trusted and seldom is the trust un
worthily placed. Had, indeed, would be that
state of society caU'de of a large city where
evil is rampant, which should doubt the re
finement of a young woman, merely because
she walked und rode unattended and at
seemly hours with the gentleman whom she
expected soon to marry-. That healths' purity
and modesty which naturally wins confidence
and res-wet clothes her like a coat of mail.
May it never be assailed by the degrading
suspicions imported from a more corrupt
social state. Hester M. Poole in Good House
keeping. Tho Ilu roped Head.
After a bumped head the child may bo
stunned for a moment, may shortly vomit,
and subsequently becomo heavy and drowsy.
This is more serious than a 6implo bruise,
and should bo seen by the doctor. Till his
arrival it should lje borne ia mind that this
drowsiness is nature's call for rest, and that
tho vomiting is in itself a favorable sign.
The child must le kept in jerfect quiet and
bo encouraged to sleep, and must on no ac
count be given stimulants. On tho doctor's
arrival he will then find a case uncomplicated
by the unwise treatment of parents or
friends. Edward Martin, M. D., in Baby
hood. Cure for a Cold.
When the unmistakable indications of a
bad cold are first felt, a ghiss of hot lemonade
before going to bed will sometimes correct
tho mischief. The feet may le soaked in hot
water with a couple of tablespoonfuls of
mustard stirred ia it if the cold is in tho
bead. Itut when this is done, warmer stock
ings than usual should be worn the next day.
If tho chest is sore, it may bo rubbed with
warm oil, or spirits of turpentine, nnd on ex
tra layer of flannel placed next tho skin be

Remedy for Catarrh.
As remedies for catarrh thousands of ar
sons daily use snuff and other stuff whwi
action is to irritate the lining membrane aud
thus cause more catarrh. There is nothing
better than common washing soda diluted
in water and twice a day sniffed thoroughly
well through tho nostrils. Many persons uso
only salt and water. New York Times.
Chimney on Fire.
If a chimney or flue catch on fire, closo all
windows and doors first, then hang a blanket
in front of the grate to exclude all air.
Water should never bo poured down the
chimney, as it sjoils the carpets. Coarse
6alt thrown down the flue is much better.
Boston Budget.
To set the color in black or dark hosiery,
calicoes, cambrics, etc., put a largo tcaspoon
f ul of black pepper into a pail of water and
let tho articles lie in soak for a couple c
hoars.
When a felon first begins to make its ap
pearance, take a lemon, cut off ono end. put
the linger in, and the longer it is kept there
tho better.
In polishing shoes, if tho blacking is moist
ened with a little milk instead of water, they
will polish with less time and effort.
A few quince seeds boiled in water and
perfumed will keep tho hair in curl longer
than any other preparation.
Baking soda dissolved in spirits of cam
phor and applied to corns night and morning
will entirely remove them.
For a sore throat, cut slices of fat, bone
less bacon, pepper thickly and tie around the

Sweet potatoes fried in the juice of beef is

The Faying: Teller's Temptations.
When the doors of the bank clcse the pay
ing teller count3 his cash to sea that the
amount on hand corresponds with the
amount called for by the books. He puts his
cash balance in the bank vault and quits
work until the next morning. From tho
time he leaves tho bank until the hour for
him to reappear the next morning no ono cf
the officers of the bank knows v. hero ho it.
In fact, he may stay away a couple of days
on tho plea of illness, and if he is well regard
ed by his superiors in the bank his absence
does not cause suspicion. Express trains
leave for Montreal at 7 and 11:15 every
night. A paying teller can put 1,000,000 i:i
greenbacks in his pockets, walk out of tho
j bank when tho business of the day is over
! and be in Montreal before he or the money is
missed.
Thirt3"-fivo hundred dollars a year is con
sidered a good salary for a paying teller.
Tho man knows that thero is very littlo
chance of hi3 becoming the cashier or tho
president of the bank, and that the proba
bilities aro that he will go to the grave a
paj'ing teller or that he will be bounced be
cause of old age or because a change in tho
officers or in the board of directors has
brought into power some rich and influential,
man who has a poor relative whom he wants
to support without cost to himself.
Just consider the terrible temptations somo
of these paying tellers suffer. They sec men
making money by ways which ore not ex
actly dishonest and yet are not exactly fair,
and nobody interferes with them: and they
also see and feel enough money day after
day to make themselves so independent of
labor that they could lire on the bect in
the land while life Ust3 crd not rura thslr

TALK ABOUT TATTOOING.

brought to my notice in this way. I remem
ber one in particular. It was during the lato
war. I was with the Army of the Potomac
at tho time, tattooing the soldiers rigit and
left with marks of identification. A young
man came into my tent one day leading bv
tho hand a girL They were betrothal. I
picked the girl's name Mary Bun::; uve-r
tho man's Li'art, and his name Thomas
Smith over hers. Later in tho war the man
was killed. His body was identified by tui:.
mark, and his sweetheart gave him a rcsjieet
ablo burial. Tho girl hus received m;uiy
offers of marriage, I am told, but that nam,
over her heart keeps her true to the lueinor j
of tho soldier.

How Six Indian Died.
In 1681 I was hunting some lost horses in
tho broken country west of the Big Horn
river. I had ridden all morning over a country
that was strange to me. About 11 o'clock 1
crossed a plateau and was surprised to come
suddenly to tho edge of a canyon, tho exist
ence of which I had not even suspected. In
tho can3on was a stream with clumps of cot
tonwood timber along its banks, and in one
of the open siaees was au Indian lodge. The
Indians that hunted in that country were
p-caeoable, but the war was just over and tho
Sioux were feeling rather sore. If they were
Crows or Arapahoes I might get some infor
mation about rny horses. I lay down ami
watched. No smoko came from the tepee :
no one moved around it; half a dozen ponies
grazed a few hundred yards distant. Thero
was not even a dog, which looked rather sus
picious. After waiting five minutes I knew no n:r-r.'
than at first. . Suddenly three white tciio i
deer came from tho timber and walked
leisurely across the oX)ning. Then I knew
that the camp was deserted, and tho strange
ness of it startled me. 1 mounted and rode
down to the creek, and straight to tho lepco.
I throw back the flap, and I shall remember
what I saw until death. In the center of the
tepee was spread a buffalo robe, and on tLo
robe were guns and scalps and many arrows;
and there was also food done up as for a
journey; and, sitting cross legged in a circle
around tho robe, were six braves of tho Sioux
nation. All were in their prime ell decked
out iu war paint, and each one held a bow
aud arrow iu his hand. On every face was
an expression of calm indifference, as of ono
who neither suffers nor enjoys, neither Lojx s
nor fears. The faces were those of dead me::,
and the smallpox had marked them with its
awful mark. They took their misery wi'.h
their heads up, and even tba horrors of this
disease could leave upon their hearts no stain
of fear, upon their brows no mark of suffer
ing. And this that their God might jude
them men, and fit them to pitch their cam; .
forever in tho groves and green fields ol
paradise. Cor. Washington Star.
Locking Up Unconscious People.
Moi e care should bo taken by tho police iD
the locking up of persons brought in from the
streets in an unconscious condition. The po
liceman tJways assumes that a man lying on
the street, without sense or motion, is drunk.
The hoodlum wagon is summoned, and tiin
limp form carried to tho calabooso and
hustled into a cell. In tho morning tho pris
oner fails to respond to tho call to como out.
He is dragged out, and then it is found that
he is dead. The police report reads that "a
chronic drunkard was picked up on tho
street yesterday in an unconscious condition
and taken to station. During tho
night he died of alcoholism. The coroner re
turned a verdict in accordance with the
facts." Now the facts may lie that there was
no alcoholism in tho case. Ther are a hun
dred causes that will reduce a person to un
consciousness. Often tho man picked up
should be taken to the hospital in an ambu
lance, and not to the calaboose in a hoodlum
wagon. These cases are of such frequent oc
currence as to warrant serious attention.
During the heated term there were a number
of such deaths. In New York city there is a
qualified physician at each police station to
guard against just such accidents. Dr. Gib
Carson in Globe-Damocrat.
