ABOUT BLACKHEADS.
Ourr for 'I hem Consists Entirely In
ThorouRh lint III lift.
So many letter** relative to black*
headn have been received during the
last two months that a few words about
these disagreeable disfigurements
would seem especially helpful.
The skin Is continually giving off a
perspiration which ia ack). This acid
corning in contact with the oily sub
stance thrown off by the sebaceous
glands forms a substance which, if not
removed by proper bathing, chokes the
pores. Dust settling In these pores,
blackheads sre formed. The pores are
enlarged, the skin becomes irritated,
and inflammation results in pimples or
small sized boils. The reason these ap
pear more frequently on the face and
neck than any other portion of the body
is quite evident. Next to the hands,
they are more exposed, and being
washed less frequently than the hands,
are more liable to retain de]x>sit« of
dust.
As to the cure, it consists entirely In
thorough bathing Many [tersons never
thoroughly wash their face*. This may
seem a broad assertion, but it Is never
theless true, and a foult of which wom
en are, as a rule, more often guilty
than their Irss particular hut more sen
sible brothers, husband* und fathers
The reason appears to be the dread
women have of ruining their skins by
the use of soap. Now soap is absolutely
essential for properly cleansing tha
face, and should be used at least onee
every 24 hours. When soap Is used,
warm water ia better, providing, of
course, that the face is thoroughly
washed afterwards with eold water to
counteract the relaxing effect of the
warm water on the skin. Of course,
where persons are very much exposed
to dust the face should be washed with
soap more than once, cere always being
taken to thoroughly rinse off the soap.
This Is one point to be remembered. It
Is the improper rinsing of the face and
not the use of soap that Injures the skin.
In Instance* where blockhead* have al
ready formed and appear hard to re-
move by the use of soap and warm wa
ter, it is well to supplement a soft flesh
brush. This should be used on the
parts affected, but on no account ahottld
the skin he scrubbed harshly, Per
sistent use of warm water and soap will
cure and prevent the worst cares of
blackheads. A thorough rinaing will
remove the ill effects of soap, and the
after application of cold water wilt a!
ways counteract the relaxing Influence
of warm.—American Queen
floras la the LMindry.
Half .1 pound of borax is sufficient to
soften ten gallons of warm water. It
not only saves labor, but it saves soap.
Dissolve the borax In tbe water. if
the water is soft, use only half the
quantity of borax givjn. Shake out
the soiled garments loosely, rub sotq>
on the specially willed parts, snd 'm
merse the in in the borax and 'rater.
After stirring them thoroughly jet
them lie over uigbt. In the morning lift
tbe pieces out one by one and rub them
on the board. Throw them into a boil
er of cold water. In which hslf a pound
of dissolved soap has been s'iired. I/ei
the clothes boil at once in the boiler
then lift them out and rinse them In

It Is not at all difficult to prepare

Let this fondant cool until you can

it with a apron until it is about the

How t* Keep Youthful.
The ever youthful appearance of the
members of the dramatic profession is
a constant source of surprise to the
public at large, says What to Eat The
reason for thi* is not so mooh in the
material necessarily uaed in making up,
which obliterates 10 a certain extent
the natural wrinkles of tbe skin, while
it lubricates and nourishes it; but It
is due to the chasge In the expression
of the various emotions which every
part of impersonation demand*. This
causes the actor to bring into play all
the muscles of the face. By using them
equally, they ail maintain their firm
consistency and strength, and none
waate* away from diffuse. The result
is that tbe skin is kept stretched and
tense over the face, and does not rati
into hollows.

POOR OLD JONAH.

It is strange that in tbeeie days when
questionable historical characters are
rehabilitated, when King Henry VIII.
is proved to have been a Christian gen
tleman and loving husband, when Cati
*' ne vouched for as a Homan patriot,
when Nero s worst fault is shown to
have been that he sometime* allowed
his fiddle to get out of tune, when Bene
dict Arnold takes a high place in the
roll of brave heroes, when Ducretia Bor
gia and Delilah are celebrated for theiT
many virtues, when it is conclusively
proved that there was much to ndanire
in Judas Iscariot, and when the famous
opinion of Orlgen, the early church
theologian, that the devil would some
day be converted, is strengthened by
proofs that he has been grossly slan
dered; it is strange, wesav, that Id these
times of charitable historical judgments
the character of the prophet Jonah re
mains under a cloud, as dark as ever.
It is painful to observe, says the Bos
ton Advertiser, that not only is he with
out defenders, but his reputation suf
fers from ridicule. So true is this that
hi* name Is used a# a kind of symbol for
the Infliction of bad luck. The name
JouAh Is employed aa almost equivalent
to the word hoodoo.
Ye4 he was. from the best account we
have, zealous, conscientious, generous,
enterprising, of excellent judgment, a
great orator, a distinguished navigator
and a sterling moralist. He scorned de
ceit. He preferred to risk the pertls of
the deep rather than endanger on his
account the lives of his fellow voyager*.
Though brave, he was prudent. He took
no foolhardy risks. But when he de
livered his celebrated oration in N neveh
the whole city was profoundly Birred.
He was the greatest reformer of his age.
HYPNOTISM BY MACHINERY.
Electrical A|>paratae That Will Rvrt
Coatrol the Inoaae.
The newest thing in hypnotism is the
hypnotic machine. Its inventor aayt
that by means of the hypnotic machine
38 per cent, of all persons tested can be
put in the trance state. He is prepared
to do with the hypnotic machine who:
hoe been declared impossible—hypno
tise tbe insane.
The instrument is a recent invention
of Dr. Carleton Simon, the foremost
hypnotist of New York. Dr. Simon’s
hypnotic maohine is an electrical ap
paratus mounted upon a small box
within which there are Bmall batteries.
An oblong plate made up of small mir
rors of various shapes and set at differ
ent angles is the distinctive feature of
the Invention. Tbe plate la eight inches
in length by two wide, and makea 1.000
revolutions in a minute.
Tbe effect of watching Ihe revolving
plate ia that tbe sight is first dazzled,
then faacinated. In two minutes the
mind is concentrated upon the center
of the revolving plate. In eight to ten
minutes the subject is in tbe passive
state known as hypnotic sleep, and tbe
tniDd is open to the suggestions of the
hypnotist at the machine, and tbe

E. D. Dua, ihe bead of the local

long time been engaged in formulating
some measure that would ameliorate
the condition of laboring classes of the
country. He has sent to the commis

Terrence V. Powderiy, a rough outline
of a measure that he thinks would re
lieve the pressure on large centers of
population Mhe New York, Chioago and
other large cities, unless it can be
shown that the immigrant does not
intend to compete with citiaen labor.
Before an immigrant sails from his
native country he must first call on the
American consul and designate the
place for which he is bound, *nd if he
has no objective point the American
consol, having knowledge of plaoes in
this country where ki.bor is needed, will
inform tb« prospective immigrant of
them, and if he elects to ehoose one

place an to be given him. All immi
