HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

HOW WOMEN WHEN THEY

MAY LOOK YOUNG ARE GROWING OLD.

Precaution* Which Will Insure th« Pre#. «rvntion of the Complexion—Excellent Advice fi*r Girl* Who Ar» In Society,

Flower* Ui Avoid.

How tom intain health and youth is thi great point v/ith woraen„ Men hardly bavt time to tbiul: about the matter, which probably one of the reasons why, on an average, they retain both much longer. The eating of fruit abundantly is recommended by ail who have studied the mean* of retaining health: and fruit should be eaten in season. This seems like an Irish bull, but then* are people who relish fruit only when it i* out of date, that is, when the growth is forced, and when the pried prompt* the host to exclaim, "It comes high, but we must have it."

Strawberries are said to lie wholesome, they have salutary effects on the blood and liver, and may cure rheumatism and gout If their good effect is aided by a vigorous regimen. They have aboa hajfyy effect on the mind they and cherries ought to be consumed in quantities by those who are afflicted with the blues. Peaches are good for stomach trouble# and the apple is said to be the most wholesome of all fruit, but oranges are particularly recommended.

A celebrated beauty who reigned ovet Jfrench hearts at the same time that Ixiuit Philippe reigned over the French, and who at eighty utill had the fre^h complex ion and bright, liquid eye of a young girl, made moat of her meals on oranges. For forty vwtrs she ate a dozen of orange* fot breakfast, a dozen tovvnrd the middle of day, and a !i:z-u, with a piece of bread and a g!a** of liordeaux, for her dinner. She must hnvi! Iextraordinarily fond of the golden apple, or the regimen must have been a hard one. 15ut it is a fact that the women celebrated for their beauty have all bt*en most sob«-r and abstemious at the table. All those who are noted for their good compiexions eat only vegetables and fruit. But that regimen cannot be infallible, for 1 iiiive known women in America who were vegetarian* and had complexions which could not have been poorer and muddier if they had partaken of meat three times a day.

Abstioeuee in spring contributes much to clearing the complexion and keeping healthy for the year. It is that probably more than -olicltude keep the laws oil the eh ui' Si which can.sea society women to strictly atn id to fasting during J.*-nt, Many In France an.* not satisfied with the fastiri« of forty days. They continue abstinence for two weeks after Faster.

AN l.t WOMAN'S ADVICE.

A charming old woman, whom a bevy ol young girls were coaxing to give them het nee rets for remaining young, wild: "Staying up too long at. night, and al.so sleeping too long affect the complexion. C»o to l»ed early, rise early, and you will not

grow

old and you will retain your

beauty. But, if eircuinstances compel you to go much into society, you must oljserve the following rules: Take a nap in the afternoon of the day in which you expect to retire late. When you return at night, before going to bed take a plunge, remain only a few

minutes,

in a hot bath then

taken cup of bouillon and a wine glass of Malaga. You will then allow yourself to sleep until nature awake.s you, even if it bo until 10 In the morning. When you rise taken sponge hath of cold water and breakfast on a simple cup of coffee and brand without butter.

You see how much time, wear and teat society causes how much of life is lost, be fore, lurlng and after a life devoted wholly to the world. Daily constitutionals are good for the complexion. But there are spuria of which one must, avoid the abuse. Complexion inevitably .suffers if a part of tho tiny is spent in violent outdoor exer clsea, such as lawn tennis. Be very careful and wear the right clothe* for the right temperature.

Be sure you keep the spinal column warm In winter. It is more important to keep thnt part of the body warm than the chest. If you have a delicate chest, and you do not wish to wear flannel, cover the spinal column with a band of flannel have it attached toarihlsin tied around the neck and have the band extend to the small of the back. From time to time, in the morning, take a glass of some saline mineral water, xediitx, epsoin or Jana?.. If your complexion becomes muddy, for three consecutive evenings, before going to bed, take a traspoonful of powdered charcoal mixed with liotiev, then take a glass of saline mineral water on the fourth day. All ferruginous medicines and quinine have a disastrous effect on the complexion

MY LOVER.

1 often see on a summer mora While the dew is bright on the blades of corn. The dawn let down her silv'ry tears Over the light of my early years. Where the dappfed waves o'er the pebbles gleam, bridge of mist is over the stream. And looking across I can almost see My long lost lover approaching me: His brown cheeks wearing the ruddy hue That summer made when oar love was new. Over the road where the shadows lajr I waited his coming day by day Over the banks of that brown mill stream. Where t$b moon looked down on a lover's dream, And the twain baptized in its misty light. Where crowned with blossoms like stars of night. Where he twined their sprays in my golden hair That I yet In the heav'nly fields may wear. And Heaven be fairer and more sublime That I had a lover on earth, one time. —Mary B&ird Finch in Arkansaw Traveler.

MARGARET ACH IFAN.

The Bfmvrkabie All Around Accomplishments of

Welsh Woman.

In Welsh lore we sometimes find things of doubtful authenticity but the readers of this brief sketch may rest assured that it is no fiction. I find it in '"Pennant's Tours in Wales," first published in English something over 100 years ago, and lately brought out in the Welsh language. I take it from the Welsh edition. This phenomenal person was born about the year 109f, and brought up at Llanberis, North Wale.Nothing is said of any of her relatives. Mr. Pennant .says: "At the head of the lake there lives a very noted woman, Margaret Ach Ifan, and I was sadly disappointed on not findlug her at home when I called. She is the last specimen of the strength and spirit of the daughters of the ancient Britons. At this writing (1776) she is about niuety years of age. In the line of hunting, shooting and fishing, in her active dayB, she had no equal. She kept at least a dozen dogs of the best breed—bloodhounds, greyhounds, setters and terriers. She would secure more foxes in one year than the other hunters combined would get in ten. "In boating she was quite at home and the queen of the lakes. She played finely on the violin, and was well acquainted with the Welsh melodies of her day. She was also a musical composer, and some of her pieces are highly spoken of. She made two harps, on which she skillfully played. She was a good carpenter, shoemaker, tailor and blacksmith. She made her horses' shoes and shod them with her own hands. She built her own boats, in which, in harmony with an agreement, she conveyed the copper down the lakes from the foot of the Snowden, "She composed poetry, and was a su perlor musical vocalist. She had more strength than nny two men of her ac quaintance. When sixty years of age she was more than a match for the best tw wrestlers of the region, and she was never defeated. She received offers of marriage by the score, but for along time she threw them all aside. At last, however, she smil ingly accepted nn offer from the feeblest of the lot."

In a Welsh volume in my possession "Cymnt Fit" (Walesof the past), I find the following, which abbreviated I insert an addition to Mr. Pennant's account: "One day Iter little dog lanto stole the din ner of one of the miners. This so enraged the man that he instant ly killed the dog, When Margaret heard of this she wont to the miner's lodging place and found him standing with others outside of the house "She told him that sho was willing to pay for the stolen dinner four times over and that ho in return must pay for the dog, The man, who was one of the largest and strongest in the neighborhood, laughed at her scornfully. In a threatening manner ho approached her and commanded her to depart or she might share the fate of lanto No sooner had ho finished the sentence thou a tremendous blolv from Margaret's list laid him senseless on the ground where she left him and departed toward her home."

She died at the ripe ago of lfti, and it is said that she never, even for a day, was confined to her bed by sickness.—TJtica (N. Y.) Herald.

Wear Good Ore** Wlken Traveling. Whatever you do, don't wear a "tacky" traveling dress. Tacky? Why tacky—is— Well it is the only word that expresses it whether itcan be found in an "unabridged" or no. It is a dress so far down the road of wear and tear that Its respectability is shaky, supplemented—sort of tacked on. So many women think an old drees is "good enough to travel in." It isa mistake. An old dress may do very well to weat among friends or where one is well known, but it is not a desirable standard by which to have tho opinion of a stranger gauged.

However unassailable the worth and social jKisition of a woman may be in her home circle, she becomes a nouentity in traveling. She retains but two claims to respect, and attention. One is that she is a woman and the other is her personality. It does» uot take long or very close observation to discover that, somehow, personality is a much more powerful claim than the simple fact of belonging to the gentle sex. Her lest friend and her worst enemy among entire strangers is her personal appearance. "Pity 'tis, 'tis true." If she doubts it let the woman with the "old

A Tunisian girl has no chance of marriage unless she tip# the scale at 200 pounds, and to that end she commences to fatten when she is fifteen years old. She takes! aperients and eat* a great deal of sweet stuff and leads a sedentary life to hasten the process. Up to fifteen she is very handsome, bat at twenty what an immense, unwieldy mass of fat she becomes. She waddles, or rather undulates along the street. Her costume is very picturesque, especially if she be of the richer class. They are clothed in floe silks of resplendent hues of a bright red, yellow or green, aad wear a sort of conical shaped headdress from which depends a loose, white drapery. Turkish trousers and dainty slippers, the heel of which barely reaches the middle of the foot, complete the costume.—Pittebarg Dispatch.

construe the Actions of Their Little

Men and Women—Look Hack at

If you never had such an experience it must have been because servants were so plenty that nothing was left to do, or that you were too indolent to exert yourself. A friend that I was visiting bad a bright boy of six years, with a loving disposition, al ways willing to help every one, but apparently the most mischievous of children. His mother was in despair. She confided her trouble to me, and I resolved to watch him, and see if I could not find out the reason he hail won such a name as "Little Mischief.

The next morning at the table, rny friend remarked that the weather was so beautiful that she would remove her plants from the sunny window they occupied to the veranda but, she added, "I do dread to do it it is so tedious, and it tires me so."

WANTED TO HKLP MOTHKR.

1 noticed how the little eyes sparkled, and knew as well as if he bad told uie that the little fellow had heard what she said, and would try to do the much dreaded job for her. Not long after she ran over to Mrs. A.'s, and uo sooner did the gate shut than Harry was active. The flower stand was already in the accustomed place, waiting for the plants. One by one, carefully, he lifted the heavy pots, and, without breaking a leaf, transferred them to their summer quarters. Sometimes he paused a moment to rest, then went bravely to work again. His face was a picture of happiness. He was helping his mamma 1 watched and wondered if this would also be laid to his mischievous propensities. My friend was gone rather longer than she expected, for, as she told me afterward, Mrs. A. had a love of a bonnet that she must see, as well as several costly additions to her parlor furniture. Ah! there laj* the secret of her discontented looks, for she had told,me that owing to several losses she would uot be able to expend much uiouey on her summer outfit. As she came in the gate her face passed through all the phases of surprise, dismay, and Anally auger. "Harry, come here this instaut What have you been doing? How dare you touch my plants?"

Stinging blows fell on the hands that had toiled so thanklessly. "You are always into some mischief!" she exclaimed

I watched the child lie was heartbroken. His bosom heaved, and his sobs were pitiful. "Go to your room and stay the rest of the morning." He obeyed. "There! What did I tell yout How can I manage such a loy?" "By simply understanding him." replied. "What do you mean?" "This. Your little boy wanted to help you I read it in his face. His motives were the best. You said it tired you so, and he generously did the disagreeable task for you." "But if he had dropped one?" "He did not, and if he had, a broken plant is better than a broken heart. 1 tell you candidly, if you do not act differently with that boy he is ruined." They were harsh words, hut I knew the mother heart would in time forgive them. "What can 1 do?" "Put yourself in his place. Find out his motive if you can, and, believe me. ten times out of twelve what passes for mischief is only a wish to lighten your burdens a desire of the loving heart to help you."

She went with me to the veranda. We rearrang»d the plants, and I called her attention to the heavy pots, and then to the little aching arms and back, and after she had acknowledged she was glad they were moved, I begged her to tell her little boy the same." "What! acknowledge that 1 did wrou* to punish him? I would lose all control over him if I did that." "Try this time and see," I urged. And she did.

WMKJJ SHK UNDERSTOOD HIM. When she entered Harry's room be sat in a chair by the window, quietly watching the floating clouds. Still smarting from a sense of injustice, he did not look aronnd or smile.

Harry, come here." He obeyed. "Why did you move the plants? Tell me the exact truth."

He looked up to her face, and reading 1 encouragement there simply aaid "Because you saidjit tired you so. 1 am" most a man now I can help you iota. did not break one, not one, mamma, and they were heavy Are you glad now I did it, mamma?" "Yes, yua, Harry, and 1 was cross and hurt your band. I am sorry." "Oh, it does not hurt any more uow. Next time IM1 wait till you tell me."

They came hack together, and 1 saw by the looks of my friend that she had learned a lesson not soon to be forgotten. That wax six years ago. They called while passing through our town this winter, and a more gentlemanly, helpful boy would be ban! to find. She said: "I have yon to thank. From the day of the much needed lesson I watched and looked into the motives of my child, and always found that the so called mischief arose from a desire to be osefuL I soon got acquainted with my boy and bad no more trouble with him Be is now my greatest comfort."

Own Childhood—An Episode in Point.

So much has been said about the management of children that mothers begin to weary of it all, and yet of children I wish to speak. Would that my voice could reach every woman's heart, whether mother, sister or teacher. First, I wish to lead yon back to your own childhood. Did yon ever begin to do some odd job that you had not been told to do, but that you supposed yourself fully capable of performing, expecting to be thanked for kindly helping, only to find that you had done the worst piece of mischief that you possibly could, and, more than all, were told that you had done it out of pure mischievousness?

Tens per ana RHlty Health. To lose one's temper, or, to speak mora correctly, to let loose one's temper, is not generally supposed to be a matter of hygienic consideration. The air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat and various other things are all considered, bnt the matter df temper, never. That is relegated to the realm of ethics where it is supposed that reward and punishment is so completely a future consideration that we accept the prospect of either one or the other with the indifference with which the far removed is generally regarded.

Who ever heard of a physician saying to his ever ailing patient: "Madam, if you will control your irritable temper, if you will cease to fret about that which you cannot alter, and, having used your best endeavor to bring things to your mind, accept what you cannot change with cheerful confidence that all will end well, with the little I can do for you, in a few months at most you will have grown quite sound and healthy?" Yet this advice nine times out of ten would reach the cause of ailments which the baffled man or woman of medicine calls nervous prostration or something else equally vague, with the cause carefully obscured by a wordy explanation. It is true that all physicians theoretically admit that the state of mind has a most decided influence on so called bodily health, which is, by the way, more often than is generally supposed but a material expression of a mental condition.

Now pray do not let any one infer from the latter part of this statement that I have accepted the conclusion that there is no matter and that what thesenses declare to be objective facts are but phantasms, for such is by no means the case. I have no notion either now or at any time in tho future of accepting a part for the whole, at least not when I know that I am doing so. What I do wish to say is that bad temper, whether it has its manifestation in violence, nagging fretfulness, surly moroseness or in forever expecting the disagreeable, very soon brings about a condition of body which invites the microbe of disease.—Cor. Chicago Post.

The Secret In Frying Thiugs.

We are told by Savariu. the great French cordon bleu, that "in frying, when once the surprise has been effected, lower the fire a little, so that the cooking of the interior particles may not be too quick, and in order that the gradual heat may better bring out the Uuste." The true secret of frying is to have the lard deep enough to cover entirely the article you wish to have cooked, and to have it boiling hot, so as immediately to form a crust over the entire surface. This sudden crust is what Savarin calls the "surprise."

Another celebrated authority tells us that an infallible way of testing whether the lard is hot enough is to test the heat with a bit of bread an inch square. If it browns in one minute the heat is right. Drippings will do as well as lard, but the great necessity is to have the lard boiling, and deep. Boiling grease does not enter the object that is fried, but immediately forms a crust on the outside which prevents any grease entering it.

A little attention in regard to this would prevent the sodden, greasy dishes so often served to thedetriinent of health aud appetite. Croquettes, for instance, should be so dry that you can lift them with the hand. They should be laid in a frying basket, and plunged into boiling lard, and the light brown crust will at once be formed.—New York Tribune.

Danger In Thimble* and Dyes.

Among the numberless causes of blood poisoning through the skin, one is worth noting on account of its evident simplicity and the ease of its prevention. In the case referred to the sufferer was a seamstress, and the mischief resulted from her using a dirty metal thimble marked with verdigris, a little of which appears to have entered a scratch on the thimble finger. We can well believe that this accident was not the first of its kind. Verdigris, it is true, is a mere metallic irritant, and not comparable in virulence to most living germs of disease.

It is quite euough, notwithstanding, to excite local inflammation, which friction, contact with dyed cloth material, or the entrance of dirt in any form would quickly convert into a dangerous and general disorder. There is really no excuse for women who trust their fingers in these cheap and worse than useless articles. Steel thimbles are much safer and cost very little. Another variety also in common use is enameled within, and is, if possible, even freer from objection. Let us not forget to add a caution that cuts or scratches on the hand should never be neglected by sewing women so long as dyes continue to be used in cloth manufacture. —London Lancet.

Assuming the Husband's Name.

The practice of the wife assuming her husband's name at marriage, according to Dr. Brewer, originated from a Roman custom and became the common custom after the Roman occupation. Thus, Julia and Octavia, married to Pompey and Cicero, were called by the Romans Julia of Pompey, Octavia of Cicero, and in later times married women in most European countries signed their names in the same manner, but omitted the "of."

Lady Jane Gray (not Dudley), Arabella Stnart (not Seymour), etc. Some persons think that the custom originated from the Scriptural teaching that husband and wife are one. This was the rule of law so far back as Braeton (died 1268), and it was decided in tho case of Bon versus Smith, in the reign of Elisabeth, that a woman by marriage loses her former same and legally receives the name of her husband. Altogether the custom is involved in much obscurity.—Brooklyn Eagle.

A Quiet LittU Otat*.

Three knifes or sticks are placed on the table. 3om« one who knows the game is detailed to go oat of the room. He must choose a confederate bat not mention who it is. The people in the room are asked to teach one of the knives, which were numbered one, two, three. The confederate notes which one is touched and on calling in the person who was sent oat gives hint tb« cue, touching his forehead if the first knife is touched, his cheek or nose if the second or middle one is cboseti and bis chin

Against this view it may be mentioned that during the Sixteenth, and even at the beginning of the Seventeenth, century the usage seems doubtful, since we find Catharine Parr so signing herself after she had fails so softly against the white neck you been twice married atid we always hear of long to caress might come off in your hand

THE TAILOR MADE GIRL

A PRODUCT OF THE DRESSMAKER'S ART IN ITS GLORY.

Not What They Seem, but the Fashion

able Women of the Metropolis and the Resorts Are Very Attractive—A Small Minority or Our Women.

"What a superb figure!" exclaimed the man on the veranda, as a slender woman with a full. Junolike bust and magnificeut *onfor hips strolled down the lawn. "What a superb dressmaker she em ploys!" responded the wife at his side, who had, with woman's quick instinct, noted the scraggy throat above the stylish collar, the thin, bony wrist beneath its weight of bangles, and drawn her own inferences. The splendid creature turned and passed again. The figure was that of a goddess fresh sprung from Jove himself. The face. thin, wrinkled and haggard, surrounded bv faded gray hair. The wife smiled a malicious "I told you so." The man whistled.

Verily, the fashionable modiste deserves a place among the immortals, not only for artistic feeling in color harmonies and combinations, but for the sculptor's cunning in the arrangement of lines and the fashioning of shapes and forms. The human form divine is only a clay model to the artistic modiste. She presses it in here, packs it out there, shapes it cleverly to her liking. If she doesn't by taking thought add one cubit to the stature of her model she adds a most convincing and deceptive semblance of it by the arrangement of I studied lines and draperies.

XKVER DAUNTED.

It is unfortunate that the dressmaker's ideals do not coincide with those of undis-

rather than by Phildean goddesses aud Grecian nymphs and sirens. The dressmaker's modeling clay is cotton batting or horsebuir, or even the wooden shavings known ax excelsior. With it she works her miracles. Are square shoulders the fancy of the moment? All her women have shoulders like cadets. Are hourglass figures the thing? How uniformly she produces them. Are English waists "in?" Her women out-English the English in slenderness. Or are low busts desirable? No woman comes from her hand without the beautiful length of line from the point of the shoulder to the bust curve. Tin only thing that really pus&zles the artist of the tliimbie and shears is a hopelessly stout woman. Flesh is aggressive and combative if pressed in here it. will bulge somewhere else with disastrous effect to symmetry. Hut she doesn't quite lose heart even at this, but laces it in,

the Creator himself can design sucli rav isliing curves and gracious slopes as she can produce with her wadding and whalebone. Just now the small, low bust is the thing most desired, and very little padding is used save to fill hollows about the arm, whore it is liberally supplied both at the back and front. Hollow chests are mndc to look full and beautiful with layers of wadding cleverly pulled out at the edges to leave uo creases where it terminates. Prominent shoulder blades and collar bones are set in soft beds of cotton. Slop ing shoulders are built up, and when tho dress is finally finished, so sure is the dress maker of thecorrectnexs of its cut that if it wrinkles or puffs she stuffs the offend-

ing wrinkles with cotton to change the

figure rather than disturb the, to her, beautiful Hues of the bodice. Men talk learnedly of the wonderful improvement in the physique of women, of the benefits of physical culture, gymnestic and outdoor exercises, and the dressmaker smiles as well as she can for the pins in her mouth, buys more cotton and wadding and whalebone—and thinks.

TLTLCKS OF TIIK HAIUDKE8SER. It must lie admitted that less fake hair is worn than in the days of chignons, but what is worn is better worn and more fie ceptive than ever lie fore. The fancy for flufiinessand the art attained by the hairdresser in producing it in straight hair do away with the necessity of abundant tresses. But beware of the loosely coiled knot of hair with its escaping curls. Don't set your affections upon its perfumed prettiness, for ten to one if it isn't store hair. And that little curl that always

without shears and without agony to the head it adorns. Fake bangs have pretty well gone out, for with careful catting and curling most hair can be trained Into a pretty bang. But there are some tresses that will be perversely straight on warm days, and the naturally curly hair of some girl who can't afford to go to the seashore sometimes adorns the straight halted girl who can go.

Never is the artificiality of the fashionable woman so apparent as when she goes among her country friends. How slim and straight and tall she has grown, bow light her foot in its perfectly fitting boot, how fresh and seasbell-Uke her skin, bow exquisitely neat and dainty the fit and fall of her perfumed gowns and mantles] Her own youngest sister looks old and plain beside her her figure is had, her skin seems ooanw and brown, aod yet the country sister Uvea in the purer air and sunshine, goes to sleep earlier aod rests more la a day than the city woman rests in a week.

it down, shuts it in a compass of steel, and if the model doesn't die, sends her out into the world looking ten pounds lighter and several inches taller than she is.

The lirst thing the dressmaker iusists upou with her victim is the corset of her particular fancy. This corset is a wonder ful and intricate arrangement, which gives the long, sloping waist curve to thin and plump figures alike.
