Use 5,qu Abuse of Powder. Of all the absurd and silly notions that ever I heard of,” exclaimed a. pretty little Woman as she tossnd her powder put? into the box, “ the idea that there is anything at all objectionable or disreputable in the use of powder is about the most ridiculous. The idea of a woman going about with her face shining like a china. plate just because some stuffy old moralist has said that it is naughty to use powder. I can’t imagine anything more comical than one of these soapsuds-finished, glace-complexioned wo- men. I sat beside a girl in the car the other day, and just for curiosity I tried to see If I couldn’t see my face in her cheek, and I assure that, although I couldn’t dis- tinguish the outlines, there was a. most de- gided reflection on that highly polished sur- ace. Show me a. Woman with whom cleanliness is a fad, and if she is past the age of thirty- five I’ll guarantee that you will find as many wrinkles in her face as there are rivers on a miniature map of the world. These supercleau women scrub their faces, and having heard that rubbing the skin is gooi for it, they simply polish of)“ with a soft linen to‘vel. The best way of trimming a. bodice is to have either braces or long revers on either side. narrowing at the waist, covering the {rent darts. A stripe down the center, hidingthofustenings, is also good. Long, graceful lines must be chosen in the arrange- ment of any drapery on the bodice, and short, sleeveless jackets are to be avoided. Polonaises skillfully managed diminish the apparent size ; and though the present long cloaks cut the figure, and should be avoided by those who are short and stout, they are admirable for tall, stout women. A girdle placed low about the hips, in the hands of a. skillful dressmaker, may be made to lessen the size of the wearer, while unskillfully treated it will increase it. The present style of wearing chifl'on on the front of the bodice enhances the charm of middle age ; and often it is an advantage to trim one side, and than carry the folds across. The waist frills of lace now worn can he used with good effect if they are made to end at the side and not carried in front, but it must be borne in mind that if the hips are big every- thing must be done to lessen their apparent size, and any extra trimming on the hips is calculated to enlarge the figure. Nothing must be tightly girt in at the waist. Long jackets with jet drops soften the outlines, and stout women, in trying on both bodice and skirt, should test the effect seated as well as standing. Now, it IS a. physiological fact that the skin to be at its best must contain a. certain amount of oily matter. \Vhen this is re- moved by the alkali of the soap or any other of the multitude of cleansing preparations with which the market is filled, the skin, as a. matter of course, becomes dry and harsh. In due course of time it dries up into my- riads of little wrinkles, and the beauty of the eomplexion is destroyed. Black is usually safe, but there are also many colors which become the complexion of middle age. Most reds suit fai1 women as well as 171 unettes past their prime, but greens are only suited to dark women The deep, full, grass-green now wom in \ elV ct may be chosen safely by almost any complexion, and elderly women should bear 1n mind that rich materials are suited to chem; that velvets, plain and brocaded, silk of the best texture, lend dignity to age, and that in mantles as well as dresses splendor of de tail should not be ignored. F'awn 1s a. flu or- ite color now. But it is a young woman’ s shade, unless it be loaded with jet or gold trimmings. It is better to have one hand- some gown ayear and a. rich man tlein three years than to choose many unimpressive toilets for those who have passed the hey- day of youth: Care'must be taken in choosing the pat. terns of the mate: ials Worn by stout figures. Horizontal lines must be most carefully avoided; long straight paunels diminish the apparent size, and great care must be taken in hanging the skirt, especially if it be a. plain one. Long, shallow plaits ought to be inserted at the back of the hips, and it should be so managed that a few soft hori- zontal folds fall about a. quarter of a. yard below the waist in front, disguising the out- lines of the figure. The present style of cut- ting the skirt on the cross is a. help in this class of dressmaking, but striped materials must not be chosen, and on no account must the fabric be fitted to the waists without pliats as now worn by young people. The cross cut materials are generally more clas- tic. Brush 03 the dust with a s< feather brush, or wipe it with a. a. seit texture.

I know a. dozen women who are on the shady side of fifty who have complexion: like girls Of course all their acquaint~ ances wonder at it, and equally, of course, they say: “Oh, that is natural, " when they fact is that these women had sense euoug 11 not to wash‘ all the natural oil out of the skin,or if they did they would replace it by some soothing compound. The sleeves tfiust on no account he made over high or broad, and wnmen with short necks should be specially careful on this point. For tea. gowns the long pendent sleeves are desirable. In mantles long sides prove to be a. great help to short, stoub figur- With huts and bonnets, much must be left to the individual. Probably it will be apparent that it is advisable to disguise the nape of the neck and the lines which will come beneath the chin. This will make it necessary for a bonnet to be continued low down in the neck, and strings made of black lace or chiffon should be tied beneath the chin. It is only quite old ladies who will reconcile themselves to wearing strings to caps, but the same result may be produced by encirclin the throat with soft diaphan- ous materia. 5, Middle age should abjure linen collars. As for the use ofvpowder. of course it, will show on one of these porcelain faces, and, as a matter of course, it doesn‘t look pretty, but if the \vomaxuvill use a little cold cream, diluted glycerine,or other cmnmon-sense pre- paration immediately after washing the face and before the skin is dry, and at once dust fine powder all over it, they will avoid the twofold annoyance of wrinkles and shining ness.

There are many insects which one would little suspect to be furnished with apparatus suited to swift and more or less continuous flight. House flies frequent the inside of our windows, buzzing sluggishly in and out 01 the room. But what, dili'crent creatures are they, says the Newcastle (England) Times, when they accompany you on a hot When the face 5f theufloor begins to look worn and shabby after cleansing of the dirt and wiping dry, if water has been used, rub the surface all over nicely with a, cloth moistened with a few drops of oil if the floor has a. hard oil finish, or brush it lightly with thin shellac if it has a shellac surface. After the finish is worn down to the sur- face of the wood, sandpaper the floor all over evenly and give it another coat of shellac or hard oil finial), which continue to keep as before. . 11 ,1-, 7 “r’axed flodfis can be cleansed by washing ofl' thoroughly with turpentine or benzine, after which they can be rcwaxed if desired. If there be any dirt that will not; come with wiping, wash it off thoroughly with clean water, using soap if necessary, which also cleanse off with clean water as quickly asfossible and Wipe dry. I u Times, whenw summer‘s day A swarm of these little pests keep pertine- ciously on wing about your ears ; quicken your pace, and still they are with you ; let a gnsc of wind arise and carry them back- ward and behind,the breeze having dropped, their speed is redoubled, and they return to their post of annoyance. But this example gives only a partial proof of the fly's power of flight, as the following will show : The writer was travelling one day in Autumn by rail, at about twenty-five miles an hour, when a company of flies put in an appear- ance at the carriage window. They never settled, but easily kept pace with the train ; so much so, indeed, that their flight seemed to be almost mechanical and a. thought struck the writer that they had probably been drawn into a sort of vor- tex, whereby they were carried onward with but little exertion on the part of themselves But this was soon disproved. They sallied forth at right angles from the train, flew to a. distance of thirty or forty feet, still kecp- ing pace, and then returned with increased speed and buoyancy to the window. To account for this look at the wings of a. fly. Each is composed of an upper and lower membrane, between which the blood vessels and respiratory organs ramify so as to form a delicate network for the extended wings. These are used with great quickness, and probably 800 strokes are made per second. This Would carry the fly about twentyvfive feet, but a seven-fold velocity can easily be attained, making 125 feet per second, so that under certain circumstances it can out- strip a race horse. “ l-‘at Doctor Bills Make Lean Wllls,” but Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy costs less than one doctor’s visit. Catarrh is a. loath- some, dangerous disease, and the time has come when to suffer from it is a. disgrace. No person of culture and refinement cares to inflict upon his friends his offensive breath, disgusting hawking and spitting, and dis- agreeable efiorts to breathe freely and clear the throat and noseâ€"hence the cultured and refined use Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. And no wise and prudent man cares to run the risk of leaving his family without a pro- tector, by letting his “ slight catarrh ” run into serious or fatal throat and lung troubles, hence the wise and prudenl use Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. The proprietors of this remedy are so confident of its curative pro- perties, that they have made a. standing ofler of a reward of $500 fora. case they can not cure.
