Modern Recipes For Attaining Good Looks rt Varied Kinds. To Get Thin.—Eat a great deal of chopped meat without any potato in it. Drink little fluid of any kind except strong tea. Exercise a great deal without drinking and do not eat bread, butter or candy. Lemon ade, acid drinks of all kinds and saline mineral waters are excellent. ■ Drink a glass of clear water before breakfast. To Get Fat.—Eat vegetables and sleep after each meal. Go to bed at 9 o'clock and lie in bed half an hour after you wake up. Laugh a great deal. Drink water by the pint or the quart if you can. Drink weak and sweet tea with plenty of milk in it. Take cod liver oil and sweet oils as much as you can. Eat until you feel as if you would burst at the table. Put plenty’ of butter on ' your bread, and do not be afraid of' ales, lagers and sw’eet wines. This will guarantee a gain of five pounds . a month, and if you can sleep a great deal of double that amount. * To Have a White Skin.—Eat no , meat at all. Become a vegetarian f’ they always have beautiful skins. Once in six weeks or so eat a meal of fresh meat. This does away with.- , the tendency to scurvy—that curse’ of the vegetarian. Drink as much water as you can, eat little grease and touch no tea or coffee. Your breakfast may be oatmeal and oranges; your dinner fruit, nuts, ■ fruit tea—preferably quince tea— j graham muffins, cauliflower cro queries, marmalade and dishes of\ stewed vegetables. The diet is not so bad when you get used to it. In ‘ large towns you will find one or two restaurants catering to such as you. ’ To Become Very Muscular.—Walk a great deal, carrying something al ways in the hands. This develops the arms. To roll a hoop might be good if one were brave enough to do so in public. Practice lifting a little every day. Never strain or tire yourself. Eat meat, drink milk ; and practice bending backward, for- > ward and sideways every day. At night rub about a tablespoonful of brandy or rum into your skin on the under and tender part of the arms. To Have Plump Hands.—Rub them with sweet oil night and morn ing. Exercise them by rubbing to gether. Never wear tight sleeves or snug gloves. To Keep One’s Feet Small.—This is difficult. The first sign that one has passed youth is the tendency to wear a larger pair of shoes—and this is necessary. The feet spread and really grow. To remedy this wear shoes as long as can be man aged, but not as wide as seem neces sary. Never wear old slippers around the house, unless they snug in the width, and be careful 02. ( , coriis. are nbver necessafyT while the chiropodist exists. To Have a Fine Color.—Wash the face with the juice of preserved strawberries in the winter and in summer rub a ripe berry on the face. For a Smooth, White Skin, With out Dieting.—Bathe the face daily with buttermilk. A preparation of tincture of benzoin and rosewater is excellent for whitening purposes. There are very good prepared creams, but these are never cheap. Do not go under $1 for them if you want them compounded of fine and pure materials. To Have One’s Garments Sweet Scented.—Make sachet bags and slip them in the linings of dresses. They will, if good at first, keep their scent for a year or more. Fold the bodices of the scented gowns and lay them away in airtight boxes. This fills them with scent. Philadelphia Times. Against His Conscience. The proprietor of a large London restaurant has a small hydraulic lift fitted up in a corner of his ‘'second class room,” which is used for con veying the various dishes from the kitchen. One day an unmistakable native of the land north of the Tweed en tered the shop, and, having ordered some refreshment, sat down to wait. The waiter in attendance called down to the cook through the speak ing tube, and in a short time Sandy was astounded to see the very things he had ordered rise up, apparently from the bowels of the earth. With a horrified yell he bounded up, made for the door and exclaim ed: “Na, na! Ye’ll no get Sandy Mc- Nab ta hae what th’ auld deil’s had the cookin o’ I”—Nuggets. The Chief Rascal. Thomas was a gentleman of Celtic origin, and it did not take long for the boys to notice his brogue, and they made all manner of fun about it, often mimicking it to a nicety. Thomas stood the torture as long as any ablebodied man could be expect ed to, but finally he resorted to pun ishment for his tormentors. One day, full of wrath at an exceptional breach on the part of a towheaded youngster, he strode vengefully to the school. With much noise he climbed the stairway in search of the principal, to whom he had been advised to complain. He was cour teously shown to that person and be gan to bitterly denounce the actions of the pupils. “I am very sorry to hear this,” exclaimed his listener, “and I will try to put an end to it.” “Oi wish you would, sirruh. Oi’m sorry to trouble ye, but Oi’ve been so abused by thim rascals Oi thought Oi'd tell ye, as Oi understand ye are the principal of thim!”—Harper’s Round Table.

Pharmacy. The druggist of the present time does not differ greatly from hia brother of the eighteenth century. The extensive use of proprietary especially in America, .has, however,decreased his prescrip tions, but at the same time these ‘ proprietary medicines are sold through him and sell so largely that 4ie does not complain. While a use ful and able member of the commu nity, the pharmacist of today is not an original investigator or a pre scriber and limits his efforts to fill ing the prescriptions that are sent him by his friends, the physicians. Every year he becomes a greater ladept at his art, which with the \course of time has come to be con sidered a branch of trade rather than a profession, while thd drug gist is looked upon in the light of a skilled laborer. The most success ful druggist of the present time is not he who mixes his drugs most skillfully, but he who has the busi ness capacity to make his shoj) prof itable to him. It is often the drug gist least skilled in the art of phar macy that possesses this capacity.

Sir Frank Lockwood’s Wit. Sir Frank Lockwood once began cross examining a lady with a few irrelevant questions to put her off her guard. This would have been very well if, like most witnesses, she had meekly submitted, but she up set everything with “Don’t you think that is a very silly question, Sir Frank?” “Upon my word,” he replied, “I think it is.” In a breach of promise case he once rallied the jury with “You, gentlemen, cannot seriously think that this charming lady’s matri monial prospects are forever blight ed. Surely not one of you could be ungallant enough, if single, to be averse to the acquaintance of so at tractive a lady. I myself am no longer available,but you!”—London News. There Are Others. A boy read tales of the sea and he said: “When I am a man, I will quit the plow; I will sail up and down the high seas, north and south and east and west; I will visit all the earth. ” But when he was a man there were those for whom he must care and he must needs wait. And so, day after day, year after year, till he was old and bent and gray, between the two handles of his plow*, over and over he trudged his nar row field, still sailing up and down the high seas, north and south and east and west, visiting all the lands of the earth.—Christian Work.

Ocean Fogs That Are Full of Fine P»r« tides of a Yellowish Powder. People laughed at the man who said that the fish he had hooked “kicked up such a dust in the wa ter.” Perhaps they will laugh at the heading of this article, but there will be sea dust nevertheless. We have heard of waterspouts, of showers of fish, of salt rain and many other curiosities which pre sent themselves in the atmosphere, but to assert that there is such a thing as sea dust is to transcend all reasonable bounds. The evidence, however, in favor of its existence is exceedingly powerful indisputa ble, in fact—and this is the story told by eyewitnesses. They say that in certain parts of the world, notably about the Cape de Verde islands, there are constant ly met at sea. several hundreds of miles away from land, thick, yel lowish red fogs, not unlike London fogs in November. These fogs ob scure the atmosphere and are very injurious to navigation, but they have not the baleful odor of their London prototype's, nor do they af fect the breathing in the same way. While sailing through them it is found that the ship, sails and rig ging are covered with a fine, im palpable powder, which falls as dry rain and covers the surface on which it falls sometimes to the depth of two inches. In color it is of a bright, brick dust hue, sometimes of a light yellow, and it feels between the teeth like fine grit, such as might be blown into the mouth on a windy day in March. No place is free from its presence, its fineness giving it power to pene trate everywhere. The sea while m falling lopks ga.though Jt had been peppered and is discolor ‘ efffor some dfstanc® d©wn: Some times the dust comes in a shower ?nd passes off again. The fogs are nothing but vast quantities of the dust suspended m the air. It is not only in the vicinity of Cape de Verde that this wonderful dust is seen. In the Mediterranean, in the northern parts of Africa and in the middle of the Atlantic it has been reported. It is invariably the same in kind and appearance, and examination under microscopes has proved the identity of, say, Cape de Verde sea dust with Mediterranean sea dust. All this is very remarka ble—dust falling in clouds, no land within some hundreds of miles, nothing visible which could possibly account for ti e curious phenome non. Sand spouts there are in sandy deserts and sh iwers of sand taken originally from spots whereon the carrier wind has left its mark, but here there is no desert from which the sand can be drawn, and the wind, so far fl om being boisterous or disposed to play whirlwind pranks, is light and steady, blowing ships along at a calm five knots an , hour. , It is believed by scientific men that the dus*-. clouds of Central America are, in all probability, closely connected with the phenom- 1 enon of sea dust.—Los Angeles 1 Times. A “Lucky” Lawyer. Numerous instances are given of the power that Mr. Rufus Choate possessed over a jury, concealing it . even at the time he was exercising it with the most potent effect. Mr. ' E. P. Whipple instances two notable ' cases of this kind: One resolute ’ juryman said to another as he en tered the “box:” i “Now, mind you, there is one ; man in this crowd who will not give a verdict for the client of that man Choate. Why, sir, he is the great corrupter of juries. I know all his ( ' arts. He is engaged by fellows who . wish to subvert justice between man • and man. I hate him with my ' w’hole heart and soul!” i When the verdict was given for 4 ' Choate's client, with hardly a dis cussion in the jury room, the wonder was expressed that this obstinate member of the conclave agreed so i readily with the rest. i “Oh,” he said, “the case was a plain one. Choate was right this - time, and you know it would have t been scandalous for me to violate ? \ justice because I had a prejudice against the person who supported ) it. Let him appear before us in a f case where be is palpably w r rong, and I will show you that I’m all -' right. He never can humbug me!” On another occasion a hard head i ed, strong hearted, well educated . farmer was one of a jury that gave - five verdicts in succession for - ; Choate’s clients. He said: f “I did not think much of his 3 flights of fancy, but I considered f him a very lucky lawyer, for there - was not one of those five cases that • ! came before us where he wasn’t on ' the riaht side.” ,OO Per Annum in Advance. JUDGED BY HIS POLISH. It Is Not Always the Polished Gentleman Who V the Gentleman of Real Polish. The reporter had stopped in the office of the laundry to leave an or der. As he came in a young man who might have come from New Jersey or Newfoundland passed out. “He hasn’t been in the city long,” remarked the clerk, with a smile which was not wholly complimen tary to the departed. “Who is ho?” inquired the re porter. “Don’t know; never saw him be fore in my life.” “How do you know he is new to the town?” “He wanted a shine on his shirt, a polish on his linen, as Boston per sons call it.” “Does newness in town have any thing to do with it?” “Does it?” and the clerk’s tone indicated how sorry he was for the reporter's ignorance. “Well,l should say it did. When a man’s been liv ing in the city any time, he hasn’t got any use for shiny shirt fronts and likewise the collars and cuffs that go with them. Take a yap from the raw districts, and the first thing he wants to put on when he strikes the town is a shirt he can see himself in the bosom of. Then he wants his cuffs to glisten to match, and his collar is a rank fail ure if it doesn’t look like it had been soaked overnight in an enamel bath. That’s for the first half dozen washes or so. Then he begins to think different, depending on the kind of society he trains with, and pretty soon he asks for a ‘domestic finish,’ and it ain’t long after that until he begins to think that a shiny shirt front is something positively dreadful, and if we happen to get the least bit of a shine on his stuff he wants to slug somebody. A real ly and truly swell, don’t you know, would a blamed sight rather be seen drunk at a social function than to be seen there wearing linen with a shine on it. “Still there are some right nice men yet living who like to have shiny linen. They’ are mostly old fellows, and they like the shine be cause it looks cleaner after a little wear. Os course these old chaps are of the left overs, the style once be ing with everybody to have shiny linen. That’s where the laundry ran out the washerwoman, who hadn’t the machinery to shine with, and she lost her customers. She’s com ing in again though now, for the shine isn’t the thing any more, and no machine laundering is equal to the hand work for real sweM finish.

The late shah of Persia, according to a recent story, was assassinated not for political purposes, but through revenge. His murderer, Muhammed Riza, was a theological student, but was compelled to be come a trader by the confiscation of his property. He sold some of his goods to the son of the shah, and in due time presented his bill. For this he was thrown into prison and his wife transferred to the prince’s harem. After seven years he was released and fled to Constantinople. At an opportune time he returned, disguised, to Teheran and, waiting a chance, shot the shah, crying, “The tree that bears bitter fruit must be cut down!” Ideal and Real.

The very 1 night after he received it he wore it to a party. After the affair was end ed he asked permission of one of the young women to see her home, and his escort was accepted. She lived ■ some distance from the scene of the 3 i party and as he walked along with J her he felt a little dubious about his personal safety. There was a good 1 deal of talk about footpads and some 3 very bold holdups had occurred. 3 Presently he noticed a suspicious 3 character dodging along intheshad -3 ow across the street.

CAVALRY IN FUTURE WARS. the Art of the Hashing Horseman Will Not Be Eliminated. It has been said that the days of dashing cavalrymen will soon be over and that the art of riding will become as purely a pastime as the art of sailing is destined to become by reason of the introduction of steam. This opinion is combated very vigorously by Major Kunz in his “Kriegs Ges< ’ chtliche Beit rage.” He believes that the uses of cavalry have been changed, butthat its existence is not yet endangered. On the other hand, he points out that mere mounted men, as against highly trained riders under the very best leaders, are absolutely useless today. Commenting upon the many brilliant though unfortunate caval ry attacks executed by’ the French in 1870, he says: “First.—A frontal attack of cav alry against victorious infantry can only be justified when the aim is to save time for the purpose of saving the beaten army. The success of such an attack is practically impos sible. “Second. Momentary’ success of an attack against the flank of vic torious infantry is possible. But even such an attack must end in the destruction of the force which un dertakes it. “Third.—ls the enemy’s infantry is btj en, cavalry may be used to advai age. But it must be faultless cay ly, led by’ faultless, courage ous nders, men who are also perfect in their knowledge of the history and psychology of war. In such a case no thought must be given to a few hundred horses foundering on the field. The enemy's infantry must not be given time to assemble. The cavalry must endeavor to head off the fugitives, for the most dis heartened of them will lead the stampede. In the rear of a flying army are always the bravest. It matters little whether the enemy loses much in killed and wounded. The question is not how to kill men, but how to discourage them, to rob them of their leaders, to destroy their organization. “An infantry which has suffered many losses but has advanced vic toriously and still has sufficient am munition may’ laugh at a cavalry attack. An infantry that has been beaten and whose officers are killed, and which has lost courage in con sequence, is a ready prey’ to enter prising cavalry. It will be said that in such a case the cavalry of the beaten army must, sacrifice itself for the infantry. Quite true. The task of the attacking cavalry will then be to -overthrow the horsemen of the vanquished army. If this succeeds, the stampeded horsemen will only assist in increasing the confusion of the flying infantry. < “At any rate, a few’ hundred men and horses dying of sheer exhaus tion in the pursuit of a beaten ene my will save the trouble of another bloodthirsty battle. To train caval ' ry for such work is the puipose of extensive maneuvers.” Literary . I Digest. 1 . FARADAY’S ANCESTRY. ’ It Proves Acceptable to the Sensitive Eng- I li»h Upper Crust. ’ With a sigh of relief our English ■ contemporaries announce the result 1 of the investigation into the ances ' tral history of Michael Faraday, j Dismay and consternation were plainly visible everywhere when the ' insinuation was made recently that ' the family of the famous scientist occupied a humble place in the low-' er walks of life. The “nice people’! who had been admiring the genius of Faraday were horrified at the ; thought that among his progenitors [ w’as a common “day laborer. ” This j impression is now’ corrected, and joy and gladness fill the hearts of the [ fraternity on the other side. , A representative of the family, i “John W. Faraday of Hayle, C’orn t wall,” furnishes the information that “one Robert Faraday married t Elizabeth Dean, the owner of Clap j ham Wood Hall, in Yorkshire. This hall, it is said, was of some beauty, and of a style peculiar to that part of the country; architecturally, it was very effective. Robert Faraday ) was the great scientist’s grandfath ’ er, his own father, Barnabas, being . born at the hall.” It is explained ’ that he was one of a large family, i the members of which had to shift for themselves when they left the i parental abode, but particularly em phatic is the statement that “in no instance was their condition in life anything approaching that of a ‘day laborer, ’ a class of men whose po ’ sition at that period was peculiarly t miserable and degraded.” , Faraday’s father was verger and t sexton of the village church, leader of the choir and a shoemaker by 3 trade. Faraday’s uncle was the own- J er of a neighboring quarry and em- I ployed a number of “day laborers” and “was noted for his kindness to ' his employees.” Faraday’s father, g James, formed an attachment for 1 Margaret Hastwell, whose “father 1 was a farmer and also an employer g of day laborers.” He was averse to the match, being ambitious for his S daughter to marry some one who had more cash than a youth who j came from Clapham Wood Hall was rj , likely to have. It is also said that 0 James “followed the calling of a blacksmith” in London, and even tually married Margaret and took e her to London, where he had to fight his own battle, and like many g another found it hard enough. Michael’s earlier years are described j as a struggle against poverty, k All of which is very interesting, e I but scarcely worth the fuss that has t I been made about it. However, it *1 seems as if old world prejudices 1 must be consulted even when the * i recognition of genius of the highest.- order is involved.—Western Elec-]
