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 Magazine. 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.

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.

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.

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. HOME TINKERING. 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.

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.

Yes, and Xot Only Stranded, bnt Ac tually Done. 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 Free Press. Thp Cotiing Century. Scene.—Offica of a publisher. Enter a genius.

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!” —Boston Globa
