You mar ask whv almoud oil wiB not answer the purpose the rub- j Mag necessary with the meal is almost m beneficial as the meal itself; with an 0, you do not use friction and conse- j jentlylost half the benefit. I have, wed almond meal for fifteen years. 1 1 spend five minutes at night and as wmeh time in the morning, and wash my face with warm water once a day-1 Most women wash their face too fre ajwently. There is no fabric that would tt become dingy, discolored, and Toughened if soaked in water half a dozen times during the day and then exposed to the cold of winter or the eat of summer. Just so it is with the kuman skin. I consider au occasional .Turkish hath a great beautilier of the complexion. When 1 was a young girl my face w as plentifully decorated with freckles: these seldom appear Mw, even if I have been exposed to fee hot sun. It is partly the use of almond meal, I thiuk, which has kept hem at bay, and partly a preparation ef rosewater and benzoin, a preparation wed since the time of Cleopatra an nnce of the latter to a quart of the former. This should be daubed on the faee with a soft cloth. This mixture fti also a good tonic for the skin. As to wrinkles, borrowing trouble is a fruitful cause of these hated reminders ef time's advance. AVhile a man may fee unduly nervous and worrid about kiatusiness and other affairs of im port his wife will fret over trivial af fairs. She worries about the dust on the bric-a-brac, the chip on the new china up, the style of her bonnet, and (it of her gown, and these things make her old as surely as do real troubles. A placid temper will long keep wrinkles in abeyance, and years of good humor will leave a sweet mouth to old age. Shakspenre makes Csesar say that cow ards dii uany times before their deaths. So they do, and so do thousands upon thousands of people who grunt their Byes away. They make themselves old with imagined aches and pains. If is mot good to give way to megrims. An ticipation brings the misery that it looks for. If we look for old age it wiH run to meet us. Every one can be in some way t leas ing, and should be, for as Or. Holmes ays in the "Philosopher at the Breakfast-Table," "the woman who does not please is a false note in the harmonies f nature." To stimulate those who have been "cheated of features by dis sembling nature" and who remain agly in spite of science and art, but who have commendable ambition to attract and please, let me assure them that they can be lovely and attractive K they will cultivate their minds and their hearts. Every one has noticed that they are not all beauties who have become brides, and one is at a loss to anderstand how they lead their hus bands captive. There is no mistery about it they did it by being agree able, kind, and bright. Milton's de scription of Eve is worth nothing in this connection: Grmoe waa in her stepa, haT'n in her eye, In all her geture dignity and Jove." But this is not practical enough, pos sibly, let me give you a few simple and very practical rules. Never plunge your face into very old water when it feels hot and ary irom exposure to trie wind; such an imprudent act almost always perm a aently yellows the skin. If you want a face that looks like leather then become a confirmed tea and coffee drinker. If you like blotches aad pimples revel in a bill of fare which includes hot bread, gravies, fat food, candies, and late suppers. Lastly, don't worry about freckles, Be fond of them, because mankind al ways claim that the girl who freckles It lovable.

There is a ticket takc in one of the large theatres in this citj who occas ionally exercises his memory in a rather curious way. Generally he gives each man who goes out between the acts a return check, but occasionally he omits this and relies solely on his memory to recognize those who wish to re-enter the theatre. A friend who saw him doing this the other night remarked that he must have a wonderful memory for faces to be able to perform the feat without making a mistake. "No," an wered the ticket taker. "I have a very poor memory for faces. 1 do not rely n their faces at all. Indeed I seldom look at the men's faces. What I go by to their neckties. If you will watch the neckties you will observe that no two are exactly aiike. They differ much sno.e than the men's faces do and they are easie. to remember.

Employer (who is somewhat familiar with the little game) All right, Mr. Oipepptr, you may attend the funeral. Csei, as usual, on first base, I suppose? the claim that women are readier wit ted in this particular than men. A little girl, in attempting to light the gas in the baby's sleeping room, set tire to the lace curtains. Tliree young women, who were walking in an ad joining yard, heard the outcry of the child, and snatching up some watering pots which stood near by, rushed into the house and up into the bedroom.

WU UI1 W 1I1UU LUC UrtUV - m r I was in Hugo at the time and was plaving billiards when a man came in and began to make a disturbance. He was a weil known desperado and no one was anxious to get into trouble with him. He became so obnoxious without being checked that finally he picked up one of the billiard balls and wnt it fly ing through a window. He was just reaching for another when 1 reserved my cue and placing the butt end of it in nit oi his stomach, pusiteu poured the conteuts of their w atering pots upon the bed, and then carried both the children to a place of safety, then turned to aid the mother in tear ing down the draperies and extinguish ing the flames. All this was planned and executed so promptly that before the fire engines could reach the spot the fire was out and the young women were receiving the congratulations of some men who had stood in the street looking on, and who had not enough presence of mind in the face of danger to offer assistance until all need for it was past. Another incident illustrative of the same thing came to us a few days ago from the west. A mail had caught his, foot in some unexplained way at the side of an elevator shaft. The elevator, heavily loaded, was coming down from above. While he was making every possible effort to loosen his foot a little girl employed in the establishment hastily caught up a knife that lay near by, cut his shoelaces, and pulled hitn back just as the floor of the elevator touched his shoe. A last and pleasanter instance of the ready wit of a woman, more instant and efficient than all the w isdom of two philosophers, is the one told with great enjoyment by was it Edward or Charles Emerson V concerning the dif ficulties into which Ralph Waldo Emer son and himself found themselves led by a frisky calf, and the solution of these difficulties by the ready wit of their Irish maid A young calf had got out flfto the barnyard and the philosopher and his brother were called upon to drive it back into the barn. They pulled gently at the rope about its neck, but it wouldn't be led. Then they pulled hard. So did the calf. The impelling force was then applied from behind. The calf lay down. The two wise men drew to one side for a few moments and applied their deepest philosopoy to the solution of the problem. The result was that they settled upon the "shooing" process that is the favoring amuse ment between women and hens. This went on for some time, both men scam pering hatiess and breathless about the farm-yard, the elate calf bounding and running in the wildest manner, and leading every direction but toward the barn-door. Then the Irish maid came to the rescue! With a sniff of uncon cealed contempt she stalked before the outwitted sages up to the calf, thrust two of her fingers into its mouth and led it, eager and docile, into the barn. Summer Camp for Boys. This happy idea of assisting in the amusement of the boys, while at the same time they are trained and in structed in useful arts, and taught some elementary ideas of useful sciences, is finding favor in the community, and the boys of western New York will have similar advantages afforded them. Professor Arey of the Rochester acad emy, assisted by a corps of instructors, has established a camp on the west side of Canandaigua lake, where a good company of boys has been gathered and enrolled. Here they will remain for a month, or until the middle of August. They will be under military discipline, and their time will be mostly spent in games and recreations, such as boat- with the intellectual brilliancy and (1 ing, sailing, fishing, swimming etc hearing a lecture occasionally, making excursion parties and collecting natural history specimens, such as shells, plants, etc, studying the geolygy of the sur rounding region, at night receiving lectures on astronomy with the use of a him mo- 1 was looking dow n the barrel oi a Colt's revolver. The sensation in such a case is simply overpowering. I was perfectly helpless, for I had no revolver mvself, and if I had beeu wearing one he" could have killed me before my hand could reach it. I thought he was going to shoot me then and there, but he chose not to do this from some whim. l'm going to slap your face, Met culf " he said, "so that you can tell peo ple about it.

I set my teeth against Die insult I knew that I was deadly pale. "Turn it," he said. " )ue, two" and I turned my cheek. 1 did not feel the blow, but the name which scorched it afterwa-d was like a furnace fire. "Now," he said with a laugh, "give m the other one." Again he counted -'one, two' and 1 presented my other cheek for a second dap. "If ever I wanted to kill a man it was that fellow, but 1 had no show at alL I remember the sickening feeling which ran over me at the thought that he might insist upon breaking my nose.

But for months and months 1 longed to meet that man on even terms. I never saw him again." w York Tribune. Frenchwomen of the Early Sa. lous. The traits which strike us most forci bly in the lives and characters of the women of the early salons are delicacy and sensibility; they colored their minds, ran through their literary pas times, and gave a distinctive flavor to their conversation, says a writer In the Century. It was these qualities, added to a decided taste for pleasures of the intellect, and an inate social genius, that led them to revolt from the gross sensualism of the court, and form, up on a new basis, a society that has given another complexion to the last two centuries. The natural result was, at first, a reign of sentiment that was often overstrained, but which repre sented on the whole a reaction of mor ality and refinement. The wits and beauties of the salon bleu may have committed a thousand follies, but their chivalrous codes of honor and of man ners, their fastidious tastes, even their prudish affectations, were open though sometimes rathei bizarre tributes to the virtues that lie at the very foun dation of a well-ordered society. They had exalted Ideas of the dignity of womanhood, of purity, of loyalty, of devotion. The heroines of Mile, de Scudery, with their endless discourses upon the metaphysics of love, were no doubt tiresome sometimes to the blase courtiers, as well as to the critics, but their lofty and fine Hpun sentiments charmed the Great Conde in his eel at Vincennes, the eloquent Flechier, the ascetic D'Andilly at Port Royal, as well as the romantic maidens who sighed over their fanciful dreams and impossible adventures. They had their originals in living women who reversed the common tradition of a Gabritlle and a Marion Delorme; who combined ne tips of their no- to appear o-i i k,..jd fur r feathers.

"No; 1 have lost my purse, which contained ail the money I have about me. iiut my husband will pay for us ia tlie morning, or I will send the money to tlie ollice at once or returning home." "Can't do it ma'am," replied the conducter; "you've got to pay or gel out and walk." "ilere, conductor," I said, tendering him a dime; and then, turning to tlie elder lady, 1 added: "It is the rule of the company madam. The conductor can not give credit to passengers. I hope you will M-rmit me to spare yoii tlie annoyance of having to get out at this hour." "I am very much obliged to you, sir." replied the lady, "aud 1 accept your kind offer willingly. Will you be good enough to give ine your address lhat 1 may discharge without delay this small debt?" "Oh, it is a mere nothing, madam.'' I said; 1 shall be very well satisiied if you will give the sum to the first poor person you meet."

Now, every day you meet people in a street car whom yon look at for an instant with more or less attention; but in my case I had hard.y had a glimpse of the mother or the daughter, and had not even the least id-a if they were pretty or otherwise. From their accent and manner, however there could be no doubt they were of the upper world-but, after all, of what interest could they be to me? Nevertheless, 1 did feel interested, so why should I attempt to deny it? Their address had been given to me, and also their day at home. The address was printed but the "day" was written in a modern angular hand. Not so the lines of thanks; the hand writing there was the delicate, pre-Mse kind that young misses were taught thirty years ago. The mother had certainly written them. Hut who had written "the day ?" I became curious. How could I find out? Yes, there was a way.
