CARE OF THE COMPLEXION.
How to Treat the .Skin to Keep It
Krenh and Ilenntiful.
Never wash the face immediately aft
er exercising in the gun. The action of
water on the buruod skin increases the
inflammation, thus injuring the texture.
If water must be used because of soil or
•where there is no cold cream on hand,
jbave it heated, as cold water on heated
skin closes the pores and impedes the
circulation, a combination which may
result in pimples and blackheads.
The face should be washed regularly
before going to bed, to remove the dust
and possible germs that may have accu
mulated during the day. Use pure olive
oil soap, warm water and a Turkish tow
eling washcloth. Hub the skin briskly,
rinse with soapless water, dry and mas
sage two or three minutes with cold
crenm that is absolutely pure.
Women with sensitive skins should
never wash tho face just before going
out in the sun, ns it renders the skin
more liable to tan and sunburn.
If tho skin chaps readily, rub the
face lightly with tho least particle of
cold cream before going out in tho
wind. To prevent a greasy appearance,
powder slightly with talcum powder.
It is exceedingly bad taste to go about
with an oily skin, which renders the
nose and forehead conspicuous and
shiny. An oily skin should he bathed at
night in hot water and dusted several
times a day with talcum powdor. The
idea that it is “wicked” to use a harm
less powder on the face is the veriest
nonsense. It is exceedingly bad form
not to uso it if the skin is oily, for a
greasy noso is almost as repulsive as a
deformity.
Pure talcum powder does not injure
the skin. On tho contrary, it is dis
tinctly beneficial. It does not remain
on the face and serve as a cosmetic, but
merely absorbs the moisture and drops
off, leaving the complexion clear, wholo
souio and attractive.
A promiscuous use of ordinary cos
metic powders is much to be deprecated.
They almost invariably contain white
lead, which is very injurious to the
skin. Tiiey do not absorb moisture, but
remain on the skin and clog tho pores.
If talcum powder cannot be obtained,
ordinary shaving magnesia will answer
the purpose, as it is equally harmless
and does not adhere to tho skin.
A beautiful skin depends largely upon
proper digestion ; hence the woman who
is studying to preserve or to improve
her complexion will make a point of
keeping her stomach, bowels and liver
in fine working order. Demorest’s

How to Sweftten Rai dd Batter.
Thoroughly wash the butter first with
good new milk and next with cold
spring water, Butyric acid, on tho
presence of which rancidity depends, is
freely soluble in fresh milk. After
washing press tho butter with the hands
until tho water and milk are removed,
then lightly squeeze the lump of butter
in a towel, put into shape until all
liquid is removed and keep in a cool
place until used.
How to Clean liras* Trnya.
Brass trays are kept in order by sim
ply washing them in boiling hot soda
Boapsuds and then lathering them well,
a little Buap being used if they are very
dirty. One way of cleaning them is to
sift tiny brick dust till it is a very fine
powder. Take up a good portion of this
on half a lemon (previously used in
lemonade or sherbet making) and rub
the tray well over with this, carefully
going over any stains till removed, and
then rinsing nml letting it dry. Treated
in this manner, trays keep clean and an
admirable color for a long time. Metal
polish and such things spoil the color,
giving it a yellow tinge quite ditferent
from tho golden brass it looks when
cleaned with lemon juice and fine brick
dust.
How to Make German Puff*.
Warm one cupful of swoet milk, add

How to Batlie.
Wo hear wonderful stories of English
girls breaking the ice to jump into the
bath. I have known a great many Eng
lish girls with beautiful complexions
who took their baths as regularly as they
did any cuo of their meals, and their
appetites were unusually good, says a
writer in The Ladies’ Home Journal.
Every ono of them took a tepid soap
bath, and if she had no means of having
a shower she gave one to herself by
pouring water over all parts of her
body, changing the temperature of this
shower so that from tepid it became al
most cool, hut never icy cold.
How to Cook Beef Kldnr^i.

gristle from tho middle. Have ready
some slices of bacon, place them together
alternately and skewer them well.
Grill them or roast them iu a Dutch
oven iu front of the fire. Arrange them
on a hot dish, with a sprinkling of
parsley butter aud serve them with a
sauce piquaute or plainly arranged on
squares of fried toast.

How to Mend (irnnlte Ware Cooking
Utensil*.
It sometimes happens that a granite
saucepan or chafing dish gets a fall, and
in this fall a hit of the granite enamel
is loosened and finally peels off. The
dish is of little value, for a hole will
poon ensue. Granite is supposed to be
tmmendable, but we have proved that
it can he mended. If the granite is not
weakened all around the hole a copper
rivet, such as are used by harness mak
ers, may be used to fill up the break.
There are different sizes of the rivets,
and they come with a small head, some
thing like carpet tacks. The rivet prop
er is slipped through tho hole in the
granite and then over the end that pass
es through is slipped a copper washer
(which comes with tho rivet), then
with a few taps of a tack hammer the
rivet is flattened down on the wrnsher
This effectually mends tho hr< ak in the
granite and makes it practically as good
as new.
If only a very small hole is found, a
bit of copper wire is used to mend it
The wire is slipped through the hole,
after being cut the right length, and
then with a tack hammer it is flattened
on both sides of the granite vessel which
is being operated upon.
The process is so simple that even a
woman who is doing light housekeep
ing need not fear to undertake it, pro
viding she can strike a straight blow
with a hammer, which women are not
supposed capable of doing. Though it
may be among tho new women, there
may he found a few who can do this.
The only thing to he avoided is strik
ing promiscuously upon thegranite sur
face and so scaling more of the enamel
off.
The mending is almost as simple as
the old method of putting a rag into a
hulo to mend it.
How lo Teat Flour.
When flour is genuine or of the best
kind, it holds together in a mass when
squeezed by the hand and shows the
impression of the fingers and even of
tho marks of the skin much longer
than when it is bad or adulterated, and
the dough made with it is very gluey
and elastic, easy to be kneaded and
may be elongated, flattened and drawn
in every direction without breaking.
How to Wash Quilt*.
Quilts require washing frequently to
keep them clean, but that is not a diffi
cult task when one has a good machine
and wringer. Put one or two quilts
(owing to the size) in the machine, heat
enough water to cover them aud add
enough pearline to make a good suds.
When it is dissolved, pour the water
over the quilts aud rub them well. If
one suds is not enough to remove the
dirt, uso two, preparing the second wa
ter just as you did the first. Pass them
through tho wringer aud rinse them in
two or three waters, putting a little blu
ing in the last. Hang them on a strong
lino, folding one edge over just enough
to hold it and putting a clothespin ou
every 10 or 12 inches.
How to Took Sweetbread*.
Sweetbreads, tahlespoonful butter,
salt, salt pork (strips). Sweetbreads
should bo well washed aud dried. Run
the pork in with a needle. Put tho but
ter into the chafing dish, and when hot
lay in the sweetbreads; salt and cook.
Turn often to crisp the pork.
How to Clean a Piano.
To clean a piano use warm water, a
cake of soap and a flannel rag. Take the
piece of cloth and wet it. Then rub it
over the cake of soap and apply it to
the piano, a small portion of the sur
face at a time. Next wet the second
piece, aud with this rub off the soap as
thoroughly as possible. With tho third
piece, dry the part, rubbing it till it
shines brightly, and do it all as quickly
as possible, that the soap may not re
main too long upon the polished sur
face. If one is very sure to get a thin,
cheap quality of canton flannel aud is
careful to follow directions as here
given to them, success is certain
How to Prevent Loss of lluir.
Tho best means to prevent loss of
hair, when it shows a tendency to fall
out, is to cut it short and then shampoo
the scalp two or three times a day with
cold water, dipping the tips of tho lin
gers in ice water, then rubbing the scalp
till red.
liotv to Make I.ip Salve.
There are many harmless, healing
salves that can be used on tho lips.
Like all other remedies, some are more
suitable to one kind of lips than to oth
ers. Try lips want one bind of remedy,
while very moist lips require quite an
other kind of treatment. Avery nice
ointment for tho lips cau be made of
live parts of olive oil to one part of
puro white wax, which must be heated
over the tire in a porcelain lined pan.
A few drops of tincture of benzoin can
be added if wished.
How to Make Domestic Honey.

STRANDED.

One of Detroit’s citizens wbo lives on
a fat salary and has never yet consid
ered the necessity of providing against
the proverbial rainy day, makes this
confession to his intimate friends:
“Toward the end of the warm season
I was pretty well used up and conclud
ed to make one of those changes that
amount to a rest. After considering nu
merous inviting possibilities I selected
the Omaha exposition. It was a splen
did outing, but the chances of spending
money were numerous, and I’m not a
good hand to keep track of my personal
accounts. Suddenly it dawned upon me
that I had just about enough to get
homo with and began immediate prep
arations for leaving, though my desire
to stay was increased by the fact that I
must go.
“That evening I walked out after
dinner, lamenting that I could use no
money except for actual expenses. Sud
denly I saw a bill just in front of me
and sprang for it, the thought dashing
through my mind that I was being spe
cially provided for. But a man dived
from the upper side and literally seized
the money from under my hand. In my
disappointment I insisted that I had
seen the bill first and that I was en
titled to at least half, but he laughed at
mo and clung to the plunder.
“ ‘Say, pard,’ he finally began, ‘I
guess you must need a little coin, the
way you act. You don’t seem like a
bad fellow, and this .$2O comes so easy
that I’ll just give you .$5 of it, but no
more.’ I handed him $l5 with thanks,
and ho moved off in the other direc
tion. The $2O was the rankest counter
feit yon ever saw, and I had to do a let
of telegraphing to get home.”—Detroit

GASTON TO PROPOSE UNION.
Populist Deader May Urge Co-Opera
tion With Democrats,
Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 18.—Judge
Zell Gaston of Butler, the Populist
leader in this state, has proposed to the
Democrats that if they will accord to
the Populists as many representatives
in the approaching constitutional con
vention as they now have representa
tives in the Alabama senate, he will
urge the Populist* to abandon their or
ganization and bring all the white nxeu
of Alabama together again.
As the Populists have only seven
members of the senate, and as the con
stitutional convention will contain 138
persons, Judge Gaston’s proposition is
regarded as entirely fair.
The proposition will, it is said, be for
mally made to the Democratic execu
tive committee, which will meet here
on Jan. 26.
A Foregone Conclusion.
“Loving and persistent Fred,
Thrice you've prayed me you to wed.
Do not be disconsolate—
Now I’ll leave it all to fate.
On this stand lie boxes two.
Each an answer holds for you.
Choose between! If ‘Yes!’ it be;
'No!’ no more you’ll hear from me.”
Shall he sorrow or rejoice?
Oft he wavers in his choice;
Looks at each with questioning eye,
But they grant him no reply;
Looks at her with pleading gaze,
But her eyes she will not raise.
Now he grasps one in despair—
“ Yes!” he tinds his answer there.
Bliss is Fred’s a little space.
Then he cries, with clouded face,
"How it would my Joy enhance
Had all not been left to chance!”
“Chance?” She shakes her sunny lock*.
Points to the rejected box.
As before, fate deigns to bless—
There he finds her answer “Yes!”
