The Salt Bo.
Vaiions innitii-tnms and private hoa
piUls are naing "the salt rub," and it ii
becoming 10 popular that wine Turkish
bath tKtublishuientB are advertising it at
a special attraction. It is just as good
(or well people as sick ones, is the most
refreshing of all the baths and rubs ever
invented, only excepting a dip in the sea
itself, and is matchless in its effect upon
tiie skin and complexion. With all thesa
virtues, it is the simplest, most easily
managed of all similar measures, and
can be taken at home easily.
Put a few pounds of coarse salt, the
coarsest yon nan get, sea salt by prefer
ence, in an earthen jar, and poor enough
water on it to produce a sort of slush,
but not enough to dissolve the aalt This
should then be shaken up in bandfula
and rubbed briskly over the entire par
ton. Of course It it better to hare it
rubbed on by another person, but any
one in ordinary health can do it for her
self or himself very satisfactorily. Tint
being done, the next thing is a thorough
douching of clean water, preferably cold,
with a brisk rubbing with a dry towel
The effect of elation, freshness and re
new! life is felt Immediately, and the
satiny and increased clearness and bright
ness of the complexion swell the testi
mony in favor of the salt rub. Sew

The ancient church dedicated to the
pious memory of St. Helena, who, tra
dition aaith, went to "Jerusalem, my
happy home' and found the true cross at
Helland, is a comfortable hoar's walk
from Bodmin town. The rector, a good
tort of a fellow, had a touch of the
rheumatism awhile since and was rec
ommended the waters at Bath. 80 there
he went.. But Saturday came round,
and no "supply" for Sunday'! pulpit
could be found. .
Jit the last moment, however, and aft
er the rector had been wired to return,
a worthy cleric named Smith, who had
come to Bodmin as a witness in an at
; size case, volunteered his services at a
locum tenena. So another telegram wat
dispatched in haste to Bath to stay the
invalid from coming back. It was hand
ed in at the Bodmin office and read thus:
"Smith has gone to Holland. You
stop where you are."
When the messenger boy handed the
orange enveloped epistle to hii reverence
at tne other end, the latter tore it open
and read with astonishment:
"Smith has gone to Hell and yon atop
where you are." Christian Adviser.

MiUukee About Alcohol.
There it a common belief that alcohol
gives new strength and energy, titer
fatigue sets in. The sensation of fatigue
it one of the safety valves of our ma
chine. To stifle the feeling of fatigue, in
order to do more work, is like closing
the safety valve so that the boiler may
be overheated and explosion result It
it commonly thought that alcoholic
drinkt aid digestion, but in reality the
contrary would appear to be the case,
for it has been proved that a meal with
out alcohol it more quickly followed by
hunger than a meal with alcohol. In
connection with the sanitation of armies
thousands of experiments npon large
bodies of men have been made and have
led to the result that, in peace or war,
in every climate in heat, cold or rain
soldiers are better able to endure the
fatigue of the most exhausting marches
when they are not allowed any alcohol
at alL That mental exertions of all
kinds are better undergone without al
cohol it generally admitted by most peo
ple who have made the trial. Westmin

The Servant Problem Not New.
Students of household management
will learn with satisfaction that in 1668
many of the evils now to be complained
of were distinctly recognized. Some of
the more curious fines which were im
posed by a country gentleman upon of
fending servants were a penny for leav
ing a door open, missing prayers, leav
ing beds unmade after 8 (presumably a.
m.), and cooks could only have follow
ers at the rate of a penny fine for each
one. A curious custom teems to have
then existed that entree to the house wat
denied during the family meals, and at
the fine for allowing a breach of this
custom wat heavy it may be presumed
that the sin was esteemed great Lady's
Pictorial.

"It keeps one so busy making a liv
ing," said a man of family, "that I don't
perhaps ray as much attention as I
should to the forms of speech, but I
think that my children more than make
up for anything that I lack in this re
spect, and I wish they wouldn't insist as
they do upon my conforming in this
matter to what they cull the usages of
polite sociel?. The latest phase of this
subject occurred last evening at dinner.
My wife looked across the table at me
and said:
"Not 'doantchoo,' you understand, but
'don't you,' with tho don't and the yon
pronounced separately and distinctly.
Not being prepared for this, it made me
langh, bnt my eldest daughter frowned,
and when my eldest daughter frowns I
don't laugh, to I said 'yes' and stopped
laughing.
"I've been accustomed all my life to
saying 'doantchoo' tor dont you, and
'entail for at all, and things like that,
bnt the children tell me that nobody
talks that way nowadays, and so I sup
pose I have got to give it up.
"They had before insisted that I
ahould'have my clothes stylishly cut
and with the trousers sharply creased;
that I should wear stylish hats and
fashionable shoes, and now they insist
that I shall speak correctly. Take it all
together, I think they are making life
pretty hard for their poor old father.
Still they're nice children, and I suppose
ril have to try to keep up with the pro
cession." New York Sun.
Tattooing.
That the old world custom of tattooing
heraldic and other designs upon the
arms, back and chest of men is coming
into fashion here is shown by the pres
ence in the daily papers of advertise
ments offering to tattoo crests, coats of
arms, monograms, etc., at the client's
residence for the moderate turn of from
$5 to (10. There are a large number of
royal and imperial personages in Europe
who are tattooed, the Princess Walde
marof Denmark having an anchor tat
tooed on her shoulder as emblematic of
her husband's seafaring profession,
while several well known Parisiennes
have their fair shoulders adorned with
fiowere-de-luce in token of their mon
arohial preferences.
Qrand Duke Alexis, the czar's brother,
has hit entire right arm tattooed from
wrist to shoulder, while the wrist of
King Oscar of Sweden is not free from
decorations of this character. The reign
ing Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Qotha has his
left arm tattooed, as haaalso his nephew,
Prince Henry of Prussia, while the Duke
of York has the union jack and St.
George's ensign indelibly marked on his
forearm. Vogue.

Weekly Clmutar Letter No. W,1
. A big traiuload of happy people went
np into the Redwoods from San Fran
cisco on the morning of Monday, May 7,
with grant white banners on the tides of
the cars on which wore emblazoned the
words "California Midwinter Interna
tional Exposition Our Foreign Commis
sioners." The occasion of this exposi
tion exodus was an excursion tendered
by tho executive committee to the for
eign commissioners, and including in
the party the heads of departments of
the exposition.
The executive committee themselves,
to say nothing of the hard-worked heada
of departments, hare had their noses to
close to the grindstone during ill the
months of preparation and of progress
of the exposition thus far, that no ont
begrudged them a holiday, and the for
eign commissioners, ever alert to recog
nize and accept every opportunity for
seeing more of this land of sunshine,
fruit and flowers, hailed with delight
the announcement of an outing in the
Redwoods.
An early morning start was necessary
but there were 800 people in the party
that met at the Tibnron ferry to cross
over the beautiful bay of San Francitoo
and there board the train. Out of a
morning fog that hung over the city
and the bay when the excursionists
started on their journey, the train sped
np through the fertile valleys and
among the pretty hills of Marin county
into such a sunlight as even the Italian
commissioner! had never teen excelled.
There were points of interest along the
rugged banks of the Russian river In
which the German commissioners saw a
fancied resemblance to their own be
loved Rhineland. There were long
stretches of vineyards and fields of grow
ing grain that the commissioners of the
French Republic confessed could not be
equalled in the fertile valley of the
Loire, and the British commissioner
general closed his eyes from time to time
and opened them again to catch glimpses,
at he said, of the hills and fields of Sur
rey and the picturesque hedges of Hants.
But out of these scenes, so suggestive
of what many in the party were accus
tomed to at home, and fraught with to
much m the line of remuntoenoe, the
excursion party pasted into a loaded
stretch of forest unlike anything that
had ever been teen by those in the party
who were not used to California and
California scenes. Now and then there
came into the panorama a vista of clear
ing where the blackened stumps of
giants of the forest stood out in bold re
lief against the green cloth of the still
growing grass and groin. Then the
train would cut through a belt of trees
larger even than the blackened stumps
just passed showed their superstructures
to have been, and each advance brought
bigger trees into view and heightened
the effect of the advent of the exposi
tion's foreign visitors.
, The train came to a standstill in the
midst of the great grove of Redwoods,
historical in California annals as the
scenes of many an official outing and
many a popular picnic, but nil doubt
ful if the towering trunks of these
mighty monarcht ever echoed and re
echoed the voices of a happier throng,
and it is certain than the representatives
of so many different nationalities never
sat in their shade nor were the com
ments on their beauty and impreasive-
ness ever expressed in more different
languages than on this memorable oc
casion. The gutters! of the German,
the resonance of the Italian, the staccato
of the Spanish, the graceful flow of
French, the indescribable diction of the
Chinese and of the Japanese as well ell
these were heard in expressions of ad
miration, and each representative of all
town nationalities manifested his or her
delight in his or her own percaliar way,
Each invited gnest had been asked
to bring a lady and the result was swell
balanced party. If there was a major
ity on cither side It was in favor of the
gentlemen, though, by the same token,
the ladies profited thereby, for there
were no wall flowers on this occasion,
no lady lacked a knight and tome had
two or three. Now and then a couple
would get strayed away from the rest
of tho company, but with characteristic
continental politeness no foreign com
nussioner felt called upon to organize a
searching pinty, and it came to past in
the cmirMj ot the afternoon that all the
wanderer:) returned to camp, and when
the l.d sounded tho "roast beef call"
every nody gathered around the semi
circular tables which had been spread
beneath the Redwoods, and on which
the viands were so daintily served that
suHy notliins erer tasted better in ban
quet hall or at the hand of royalty.
The snuie rustic tables bad been laden
on more than one occasion with the
provender which served to keep alivi
the spirit of the B miaus who hold
their yearly midsuufmer revels in this
forest retreat, bnt on this occasion the
excursionists were Bohemians all, and
they proved themselves to be so by the
manner in which they did their duty by
the offering the caterer had made in the
performance of bis. Between the dishes,
tlie.bottles and the glasses, neatly ar
ranged 011 the white table cloths, before
the banquet began, sprays of forest fern
had been gracefully interlaced, but the
picture was spoiled a little at the ex
pense of the inner man and woman, and
when it come to the flow of soul that in
evitably must follow such a feast of
felicity, the debris was silently swept
into the baskets of the caterer, while the
foreign commissioners returned thanks
in unorthodox fashion.
Three hours were spent in this lovely
retreat, and then the cry was "all
aboard" and "homeward bound." Back
along the banks of the Russian river, on
through the valleys and between the
hills of Marin county, and scroti the
Bay of Ban Francisco at the twilight
fell, came the foreign commissioner!
snd the hosts of the occasion. "It was
an object lesson," said Director General
de Young, "It was as much a part of
the exposition. as the electric tower it
ii'lf,"emd a amtcientioiu vacationist,
