Editor- Care of the
Hand.
Dio Lewis' Monthly.
The first great requisite toward beauty is
absolute cleanliness. This can never be at-,
tained without the plentiful use of pure, soft
water and (rood soap. Nothing keeps the
hands in so good condition as rain-water or
distilled water; but as these are often unat
tainable, the next best must be made use of.
A bottle of ammonia and a box of powdered
borax are indispensable toilet articles. A
few drops of one or a tiny bit of the other
in the hardest water will make it soft and
pleasant to the touch. Neither very hot nor
very cold water should be used; tepid water
softens and cleanses better than either. Ex
tremes and sudden changes in temperature
should be avoided also. Fine white sand
which may be dried and used again and
again poured into the basin and used with
the water, will ba found very efficacious
in smoothing rough places and in removing
certain stains which have not become too
deeply settled into the pores.
For whitening the hands there are various
preparations which may bt used without
harm. Glycerine, vaseline, cold cream, or
mutton tallow, well rubbed in, with a pair of
old gloves worn over night, will do much to
soften and whiten. The white of an egg,
with a grain of alum dissolved in it, spread
on the hands and wrapped in old linen over
night, will, so the chroniclers of Queen
Anne's time say, make even soft and flabby
flesh firm and clear-looking. Oatmeal and
corn meal, both dry and moist, may be used
with good effect. The roughest and ugliest
pair of hands may be made smooth and soft,
if not white, in one month, if the owner will
but see to it that they are well washed in
warm water every night, and rubbed with
whichever of the simple preparations men
tioned agrees with the skin one or two
applications will discover that and then in
case within a pair of gloves, from which the
ends of the fingers have been cut.
Now that we have the hands shapely, soft,
and white, let us turn our .attention to the
nails. The modus operandi of the profes
sional manicure is as follows: The finger
tips are put to soak in delicately colored fin
ger bowls half full of tepid water, slightly
scented with perfume. After twenty minutes
of patient waiting the operator takes one
hand, and, with an ivory blade, or dull pointed
btoel one, loosens and pushes back the cuticle
from the half moon, which in most cases is
nearly or quite covered. This is often at
tended with considerable pain, or at least dis
comfort ; in stubborn cases some manicures
use acid, but this is not desirable, as it makes
the finger very sensitive for days. "When the
flesh is well loosened all the superfluous part
is cut away with a tiny pair of curved
scissors, made expressly for the purpose. The
nails are then trimmed to the proper shape.
Pointed French ones are considered the latest,
but people of the best taste find that an oval
shaped nail, a little longer and about the
shape of the finger, gives a better taper to
the finger than the pointed ones. However,
that is a matter of individual taste; but no
matter what the shape, they must be left to
grow quite long.
After a filing, a chamois polisher and pow
der are used until they shine beautifully; then
comes a thorough washing and brushing in
tepid water, and again are they polished with
the attendant's bare hand, the oil from the
human hand giving a higher degree of polish
on finger-nails as well as on wood. This pro
cess consumes about an hour, and is rather
enjoyable. Many people pay a stated sum
quarterly and go to the manicure twice a
week, but this is not at all necessary; after
they are once well attended to a few minutes'
care and attention daily will keep the nails
in good order. Every time the hands are
washed the flesh should be carefully pushed
back with the towel; this will keep it loose
and in good shape, and two minutes1 rubbing
will give them a good polish.
The Male Money-Seeker.
Cor. New Orleans Times-Democrat
inere is tnis, and only tbis, to be said in
extenuation of the male money-seeker: A
rich girl can better minister to his appetites
than the maiden who can offer nothing for
his entertainment but pleasant conversation
and sympathy with his efforts for improve
ment. Jliss Clara Croesus can give him din
ners at which expensive food and costly
wines take the place of witty talk and per
fect breeding; she can give him a seat in
carriage, which
fortable than
is certainly more com-
a rattliDg - street-car: she
can save him the price of a ticket by
inviting him to a theatre party
she can please him by elegant dresses and
luxurious surroundings; she can flatter his
vanity by accepting his advice as social law
and gospel; accepting it and carrying it out,
because he inherited his money from a grand
father who began life as a flatboatman, while
his father, a porter on the levee twenty or
thirty years ago, has not even a single gener
ation of education to support the aristocratic
pretensions of his silly wife and daughters.
She can bring him, perhaps, a fortune that
may be lost in a day, or else thrown into his
teeth as sauce for every meal he eats in the
house bought with old Croesus money.
There is nothing so paralyzing, so abso
lutely killing, to all the manhood in a man as
the marriage for money. Not one man in a
hundred survives such a crucial test. Not
that a rich girl may not be loved for herself ;
if she is gentle, unselfish and attractive, it is
equally cruel to her and to her lover to sus
pect a mercenary motive. Nor are improvi
dent marriages, where neither of the con
tracung parties possesses a sou, wnere a
household would be entirely dependent upon
the uncertain salary of a struggling young
man, to be in any way recommended.
It appears to the writer that money should
have no more to do with choice than the
color of the lady's dress. If tbey have enough
to live upon, let tiiem marry. If they are
poor, let the young man work and econo
mize, let the girl learn all useful household
arts, and build up in every way her physical
strength; and then after the affection has
been well tested, strong in industry, rich in
confidence and affection, let them, hand in
Hand, face the future.
Art Overdone by Women.
New York Letter.
I think we are suffering from too much art
Just at present. The number of so-called
artists and art students is simply overpower
ing. All the schools of art are crowded to
their doors, and every man, woman and
child who can draw a straight line or acurvo
wants to paint, or, more than all, wants a
studio. They like to be called artists and to
fill their place with bric-a-brac and stuffs and
ie off in front of a easel They may never
sell a picture outside of their family, but they
get their names in art directories and they
are suffused with joy if they learn to bear
themselves spoken of as "So and So, the
artist. " It doesn't matter what they paint.
It may only be a flower or a bit of fruit, but
It is done with real oils on real canvas. .
This amateur talent seems to be rampant
among the young women. They are all, it
seems to me, dabbling in oils, and, yet what
is worse, set themselves up as art critics.
You should meet them in a picture gallery,
airing their ideas on art. They rush in where
others would fear to tread. There are many
of these young women artists for whom I
have the greatest pity those who are strug
gling to earn their bread. Their chances are
very slim. I feel very sorry for them.
Just in the neighborhood of my office is
the Cooper Union, where scores of these
girls Btudy, and I meet them every day
trudging cheerfully along, with their great
canvas under their arms. They are happy
enough while they are studci ts; but the
trouble is to come. The sort of painting the
most of them can do the best is. on plaques, i
wood ana satin, ana it is paid tor very
poorly. But when a girl shows a genius for
decorative work she is likely to make a good
living. The thing in the art direction that
pays women the best is art needle-work.
Look at Mrs. Wheeler with her embroideries!
She gets fabulous prices, but she does map
velous work. She has revived the lost
art of embroidery, and paints pictures with
her needle. The drop-curtain of the Madi
son Square theatre is her work, and cost $10,-
000. . I hope for the sake of the many women
engaged in this pleasant pursuit, that there
will not be a reaction m favor of plain cur
tains and portieres.
Comfort for ate Risers.
Boston Traveler.
...The ethics of gool sleep should form
part or nousenoid morality, it is hardly an
extravagant assertion that comparatively
few people after childhood is passed, know
by experience what perfect sleep is, and sat
isfy themselves with a poor apology for this
most perfect refreshment.
Rising tired and weary from a disturbed,
imperfect sleep, they proceed to summon up
lost energies by strong tea or coffee, which in
its turn again interferes with perfect rest at
night; and this process of life, more than
any mental or physical labor, wears women
out and makes them prematurely old.
"I have been reading myself to sleep after
retiring, said a Boston woman the other
day, "and when I have done this for two or
three nights I can see that I look fivo years
older." It is an experience that any woman
can verify, and, conversely, she can see that
sleeping in a perfectly, dark and well venti
la ted room brings back the contour and the
roses of, childhood or early youth.
The most perfect sleep is obtained by care
fully closing the blinds, raising and lowering
the windows to admit plenty of pure air, and
drawing down the heavy shades, thus making
the room perfectly dark. Then, on going to
bed, go there to sleep, not to write or read,
or think or plan, but for that most valuable
of all things,, the foundation of all activitv
and energy perfect sleep. A few nights of
this experience will work a magic transfor
mation in looks and in feelings.
Above all, let us divest ourselves of a tra
ditional prejudice that there is somehow
virtue in early rising, when early sleep i
o Drained, early rising is indicated by nature
by waking; but artificially produced it is
pernicious. Unless there is an exceptional
reason, it is far wiser to sleep till one wakens
naturally, and one hour then will do the work
of three when one comes to it tired, unre-
Iresned. ".Nature s sweet restorer ' is of all
things the most invigorating.

In plain English, bouillon is a thin, green
ish brown soup, seasoned to suit the taste.
It is served in a fine china cap, from which
it is sipped witKout soiling the lit. The
aesthetic accompaniment is a small roll tied
with narrow ribbons. The first requisite for
bouillon is a soup digester. This modern in
vention is a cast-iron, fiat-bottomed vessel
with bulging sides, whose smoothly ground
interior surface has been treated with a lin
ing of porcelain. The upper edge of this
porcelain chamber is ground so as to fit the
dome-shaped cover, and meets the body of
the vessel by means of a steam-tight joint.
A little safety valve on the top prevents ex
plosion.
And having the pot the cook will need
three pounds of raw beef, two teaspoonjfuls of
salt, one of black pepper, the white of three
eggs, and two quarts of soup stock. Cut
away every particle of fat from the meat and
mince it in a wooden bowL Add the season
ing, throw into the soup digester, and add the
stock. Let it simmer on a slow fire for an
hour or so. When done run it through a
colander to get rid of the meat, set it away
to cool, and skim off all the grease. When
every particle of fatty substance has been re
moved the next step is to get it clear as am
ber. Beat up the eggs, pour the frothy mix
ture into the liquid, and let it boil thirty
minutes, stirring all the time. Then strain
through a napkin, and you have the cele
brated invigorating beverage which , the
French call bouillon. Keep on the stove in
winter, and on ice in summer, and, if the
minister calls, give him a cupful ; give it to
Mrs. Brown with a French china desert-dish
and a napkin, and she'll tell you all she
knows and a great deal of information that
she imagines, and, besides refreshing: our

Sketch of a Female Editor.
Mrs. Harriet P. Spofford has written a
sketch of Mary L. Booth, eJitor of Harper's
Bazar, from which we extract this pleasant
picture of the lady: To a man of business she
is merely a woman of business; but to the
poet sho is full of answering vibrations. She
values beauty in every form, betraying the
fact in her deep and intelligent 'love of
nature, in a passion for flowers, gems and
perfumes, and an intense delight and thorough
knowledge of music. Warm in her affec
tions, quick in her feelings, cool in her judg
ments, untiring in her energies, imperious in
her will, and almost timid in her self-distrust,
in spite of her achievement, her character is
a singular combination of strength on which
you can rely and a tenderness you would
protect, while there is a certain bounteous
ness of nature about her, like the overflow
ing sweetness and spice of a full-blown rose.
All these qualities are held within bounds by
the shy and suffering modesty that will
make it impossible for her to read these
lines. In person Miss Booth is majestic and
commanding, being taller and larger than
women usually are. Her dress is simple in
plainness when about her business, but rich
and becoming otherwhere, for she has the
weakness of other women about l are old

"Let 3Ie lo It, Mother."
Phrenological Journal
A young man had declared love to a lady
and asked her to be his wife. She hesitated,
and he allowed her her own time to consider
the matter. One evening, soon afterward,
she had occasion to visit an aged relative who
resided in the family of which the young man
was a member. As she approached the door
a sudden impulse caused her to pause. He
might be at home, she thought, and she might
encounter him. And seeing -her there, he
would probably imagine she called on purpose
to see him. While she stood upon the door
step meditating, sue beard the oven door or
the cook-stove open, then the rustle or paper,
as if it were thrown upon the table; then a
firm, lizht step and the voice of her admirer
saying in a gentle way, "Let me do it,
mother." Then she knocked, and was ad
mitted just in time to Bee the young man
taking some pies from the oven. This little
circumstance aided the young lady in con
cluding what answer to make to the all-im
portant question; and in married life she finds
the vounz man an excellent husband and
father.

Bathing is conservative of health, but all
persons do not find it so. A cold plunge
bath is by no means a panacea for all human
ills, as some seem to think. An occasional
s-ash from head to foot in winter, and bath
ing frequently in summer, inay be considered
among the valuable agencies for promoting
health. But I have known delicate people to
be in jured instead of being benefited by cold
bathing. For most persons a wet sponge
passed rapidly over the surface and followed
soon by friction with a rough towel is bath
enough for health purposes. When a cold
bath is not followed by a good surface glow,
it is aomg more harm than good.

I am an actor, playing nightly in this
city. My nervous system, from the con
stant strain, had entirely given out. The
only relief I have been able to obtain was
from morphine then brandy, to remove
the depression so that I was always in a
state 01 nail stupor, or unnatural excite
ment. I saw the advertisement of Life
Essence, and without faith in anything,
concluded to give it one trial. Instead of
my regular dose of morphine I took the
Essence. I slept as well as with the opi
ate, and in the morning felt brighter. I
have taken three bottles, and am able to
sustain my parts as well as ever. I have
discontinued the morphine and brandy
and have no longer any desire for them
For once I have found an advertised rem
edy fully perform its promises. I have
recommended it to my friends, and shall
not be without it again.

tbe tobacco grown on the Golden Tobacco
Belt of North Carolina Is the most delic
