For Ladies Reading.
Washing io cold water when over
heated is a frequent cause of disfig
uring pimples.
Ilia said that a wart etui hero
moved by touching it several times
a day with castor oil.
For intense itching, bathe iu salt
water, dry with a coarse towel aud
rub with sweet oil.
To have good health and rosy
complexion, you must wear thick
soled shoes and spend part of every
day out of doors.
By using hot, moderately strong
soda wafer to clean them, the bria
ties of hair brushes will remain white
and stiff for a long lime.
The roughne.-s which nrises from
exposure to the air may be remedied
by spongiug the face with equal
parts of brandy and ro.-e water.
For sore throat there is nothing
better than the white of an egg beat
en stiff wiPh all the sugar it will bold
and tire clear juice of a lemon.
Tue atmosphere of a sick chamber
should always be kept so fresh that
there will be no perceptible differ
ence upon coming iuto it from the
outer air.
In preparing food for the sick the
first essential is fresh and suitable
material; next strenuous cleanliness,
thorough cookiug and daintiness of
serving.
Use tipid water in washing the
face and bande; very hot or cold is
injurious Also avoid burying the
face in a soft pillow at night, as this
habit is said to produce wrinkles
around the eyes.
To free black silk from dust, noth
is better then rubbing with a black
woolen glove. To freshen it, sponge
with water in which you have put a
few drops of nmonia until slightly
damp, and press with a warm, not
hot, iron.
Unless you have a long purse,
never buy anything because it is
cheap, especially gloves aud rniili
nery. Such purchases aro always
dear in the loog run. A woman who
dresses well on a hundred a year
says: “I am too pocr to buy any
thing but the vary best.
If you use powder of any kind on
the face, never go to bed without
washing it off. Sanitary reasons as
well as cleanliness require this. To
keep your skin from roughening,
find by trial what kind of soaps suits
you best, aud uje no other. Fre
quent changes of soap are bad for
the complexion.
A Querist Queried.
Query: What minister was it
who, upon being appointed Arch
bishop of Canterbury, grew too con

Answer: Thomas a Becket, under

Mrs. Pudelford and Mrs.

Navy Yard the ice was believed
be stroogenough to bear the
The entire party, with the
of Mrs. Ordway, who remained on
shore, started out on the ice.
Gregor and Mr. Dickson were
ing side by side and drawing
them Mrs Padelford on a sled.
W hen about a mile from shore the
CouDt broke through the ice at a
point where tho Potomac is sixty
feet deep. Almost instantly the ice
cracked again and Dr. Dickson disap
peaied, leaving Mrs. Padelford float
ing alone on a cake of ice. Mr. Po
ters, who was not far away, witness
ed what had occurred and hastened
to the rescue. Observing that Mrs,
Peters was temporarily safe on the
floating ice cake,he attempted to as
sist bis two friends who were in the
water, but the ice gave way again,
and he, also, was precipitated into
the river. At this point, Mrs. Ord
way, who was watching the party
from the shore, fainted.
The patrol at the Navy Yard also
saw wliat had happened and hurried
a number of sailors off to tho rescue.
They went first to the three who
were in the water, but the gentle
men refused to receive assistance
until Mrs. Padelford had been res
cued from the floating cake of ice.
So thin was the coating of the Poto
mac, that it was with the greatest
difficulty the rope to the sled was
secured, and it was some minutes be
fore the solitary tenant of the ice
cake was safely lauded.
Attention was then directed to Mr.
Peters, Dr. Dickson and the Count,
who were partially benumbed by
their long stay iu the water. They
were rescued with difficulty live of
the blue jackets themselves getting
iold baths through the breaking of
the treacherous surface. The prom
inenco of all the parties concerned

Bjowii Paper and Steak.
“That looks esthetic, doing op a
couple of pounds of beefsteak in
white paper,” remai’ -t News man
to a leading butcher vi-.-u iday.
“Does it?’’ replied the clever driv¬
er. “I don’t know nothing about ami
thcsicks, but I do know that I don’t
do nothin’ up in brown straw paper
for no customer who deals w th me.
Say, didn't you ever notice a sort of
strange taste in your st. uk of a morn
in’? You did, cb! Seemed as if a
vanilla bean had been around as it
were?”
The reporter said ho had.
“That's on account of the paper tho
meat’s carried home in,” said th©
butcher. “Now you take the best
and tenderest piece of meat you ever
saw; wrap it up in brown grocers’
paper and lay it away until you want
to use it, and I’ll bet you’li send it
back to the kitchen. That’s where
house keepers make a mistake; they
put the meat, paper and all in the
refrigerator, and by the time it is put
on the grid iron its taste is that of
manitla paper and nothing else. No,
sir; we don’t use no suoh paprr
here.”
N. G.—The above is sarcasm, as
the Griffin butchers never think of
using anything but brown paper.
