Mrs. Lantry always asserted and
stoutly maintained that she owed the
firmness of her skin and the brilliancy
of her complexion to the fast walk
which she took daily. When she was
at Long Branch one summer she walk
ed along the coast drive half way to
Ashnry Park and back nearly every
day, while her companions drove slow
ly along in their pony carriages.
Many American* women walk; but
they are slow walkers. ’ And the coin-
~plexion specialists say that. a -’alow
walk is no better than none at all, ex
cept that it obliges the -walker to
breathe; fresh, open air; which is'al-
ways good. To get the fnil beneficial
effects of a walk for the complexion
there must be rapid' movement for the
blood, quick breathing for the. oolor
. in the cheeks, mnsonlar exertion for.
the development of the whole -body,
inclnding the chest and neck and chin,
and finally- the- general exercise for
calling to life the sluggish organs of
the body. That is the general expla
nation'. Practiced, it works wonders.
jjfcCTo-walk a preat deal and rapidly is
one of the firings now taught a debu
tante. It is argued that if she learns
this art early in life—and many women
never learn it at all—she will be likely
to continue her daily exercise in walk
ing always, and so will keep herself in
blooming health and at the same time
cheek herself from growing stont.—

Bishop Turners’s Deportation Plan.
Bishop Turner says that the negro
will never be his bestnntil ho is-re
moved from the United States, which
keep him down. A great many southern
white men agree with Bishop Turner
in-advocating deportation. Those who
know better ought to speak out strong
ly and save the misery that will befall
tbe victims of any deportation scheme.
It is as plain as fate that negroes taken
to Africa will not only suffer hardships,
but will rapidly retrograde toward the
barbarism from which their ancestors
were taken 100 or 200 years ago. Bish
op Turner may lift his hands at the
assertion, but it is a fact that there are
no influences in the sonth keeping the
negroes down, and that there are an
infinite number of influences holding
them up. And all the influences,
strenously exerted, are barely enough
to keep them in their present position.

Why Are Women Always Busy.
Men rarely complain of want of time
out of business '-honrs, but women do
so perpetually. No matter where they
are they are always busy, and of the
hundred things which they planned to
do in the morning something nlways
remains undone at night. Of course,
women have far more to do than men,
and, of course, their work is never
finished; but would it not be the same
if the days uero forty-eight honrs
long? I believe it would, nnd thnt
those women who always feel they
have no time never will have any.
Now, why is this? Chiefly because
they are without method; secondly,
because they don’t make the most of
odd moments; and, thirdly, because
they are always trying to bo polite.
The fact that men act differently may
account for their having time at their
disposal.
Though women’s time is sabjeet to
frequent interruptions, and they have
no regular honrs like men have, might
they not have some system in their
work? Generally they know before
hand pretty well what the day's work
will be, and they should apportion
different times to different duties, and
adhere as closely as possible to their
arrangement.
In theory thejy often do so, but in
practice they generally follow the im
pulse of the moment, forgetting tbat
snch interruption involves mnch more
loss of time than the mere interruption
costs.
Their duties become confused, and
their minds upset, and when the day
closes they fiud many things undone,
which they had fully intended doing.
They will make up for lost tiine tomor
row, they think hopefully; bnt the
same sort of things happen again, nnd
there is always the samo result day
after day, week after .week.
Nothing is more disheartening than
a series of failures in doing what we
had purposed; and after bravely fight
ing on for some time, attempting far
more than they have strength for, and
all the time nnder a despairing con
sciousness of inability to accomplish
this task, they become nervons, weak
of will, and incapable of struggling
further.
