Facial blemishes are no longer accepted with patience. Women feel amply able to overcome nature's blunders regard- ing their cmnpilexions 3 regarding the mil/0r of their hair or the size of their waist. The head of a fashionable schmal for artistic “make-ups" said, when asked to talk about her work and methods: "Since women will paint. powder. and , make themselves up. it is much better for them to learn“ how to do it artisâ€" I tilcally. By that I mean to do it in: such a manner as to make them as at,- tractive looking as possible, and not), the unnatural-looking. highly colored.- creatuires one meets so often. "The great trouble with the majority of women is that they make up by gaslright or in a shaded room. Then when they go out on the streets or iul the daylight they are more objects of ridicule than admiration. If you want to understand me foflilow a 'madeâ€"up‘ woman into a store and see the effect of tibia change of light. In the fulL light of the street) she is ghastly, with her spflotohes of red and white and dark: ringed eyes. In the half light of the store the change is a marked improveâ€" ment‘, and the woman often appears very good looking, without a. sugges- tiion of paint or powder. “Make-up for the daylight should always be done wilth a handglass beâ€" fore a window where the brightest possible light will strike the face. And for this 'makeâ€"irp’ one must never use dry or grease rouge. ft invariably show purple by daylight. Pink and white powder must also be avoided, and only the cream colored be used. Pink powder giVes the skin a. most unnat- uii'alli lilac tint, which in the winter. when the face becomes cold, deepens almost to a purple. Wth has a greenish, ghastly effect. A clever we» mun purts on powder to smooth and refine her complexion, not to whiten ilt. and for that reason she selects a shade: of cream powder as near as pos- sible the natural color of the skin. "Other points that a clever woman is careful about is not coloring just in. front of the ears. In nature that spot is aiways white. Neither does she color that uneven whitte spot in the middle of the cheek; bait she is al- ways very carefuft to let the color ex- tend. under the jaw and chin. If you will notice a child you will see that- ifts cofilor seems to spread from the jaw up and under. So the color should lie-put on a shade deeper there than! on any other part of the face. "T01 begin at the beginning, the first thing to do in making up is to vashi the face with soap. and water, cold wa- ter and some good soap that suits the skin. After this face has been gently drifid apply the rouge with a sponge on the jaw. men with the fingers Nib it up and out, spreading it as even- 15' 35 POSSible. Then) touch. the under part of the Ohm with the sponge and rub it up with the fingers. The next “09' is to pm: On the powder. This must be done with: a bit of rag. Lamb’s wool is best, and nabbed in. with the fingers as was the range. I don't know why. but the fingers seem to be the only thing that will properly blend the ooflors on the face. Powder should be carefully applied and only tothose parts thh are naturallle white. Never put it over the rouge except around: the edges w'here blending is necessary. and. above all things never have rouge so distinct that one may tell where it) begins- and ends. There are no de- cided lines, excepting the brows and Lashes, in a face artistically made “Now, havmig the powder and paint on, we Willi go do the eyes and brows. That is very delicate work, which re- quires patience and ski-ll. Rub the fingers over the brows, smoothing down the‘hairs. Then. with the tiny brush which comes with every box oil eyebrow coloring. color the brows, beâ€" ing careful to touch only the hairs, never the skin. Then open the eyes wide, and With the same little brush color both the upper. and lower lashes. Asthat is the end ofthat l‘ittle box's usefulness we will put it aside and take up a. ’b‘lue pencil. This is only an ordinary blue carpenter’s or editor’s pushed.: and quite soft. With this make he slightest mark at. the outer corner on the eyes and around the lids, just at the Ijoot of the lashes.

The greatest care should be taken never to let the use of this pencil be detected. flhere] is nott'hing which looks worse in a vmake-up' than clearly defined blue or black lines around a woman's eyes. Before leaving the eyes let me say that if the brow has not by nature _the delicate sweep of a swal- low 5 Wing, a tiny comb should be used. after the whoring has been applied, to comb them in as narrow and graceful a line as possrblc. These directions carefully followed. the eyes will be very mulch more brilliant, and the makeup cannot be detected under the most glaring lighrt. "To color the lips a different mu 6 must he used. Never use the same fin both cheeks and lips. The best color- ing for the lips} is a good grease rouge whath Will not easily rub off. This should be applied on the inner edge of the hips. and rubbed out. There shouid be just the slightest suspicion and no more: I consider a good lip rouge benefiCial, as it prevents chapâ€" ping, and in that way preserves the fine texture of the lips. "Of course the make-up which I have ‘ sliicsld their faces from be applied before an open window un- der the strongest fight. The range for the fare is a liq‘ui i. That of a straw’lxrry red, is the most natural except for deep brimmith or pink and white blondes. This makeâ€"up, which cannot be detected by daylight. needs only to be intensified for g-nslight, but not for electric light. That. is the hardest. most unbecoming light that coukl possibly fall on a painted woâ€" man's face. I‘nless she can make up to perfection she will use nothing after the application of soap and water when going under the glare of the (‘lel‘ll‘lc light. They are clever wmncn who at the horse show and other siniilnr functions wear broadâ€"briimncd hats to the. glare of elejrtricity. “For gas fight ‘make-mps' the slightâ€" est suspicion of colon may be added on the upper eye'lid. and on some faces a l haul-h in the middle of the forehead just above the brow. This last. touch is unâ€" becoming to h‘londes as a rule, giving them what the French term a hour- ' gemse appearance; while for a daylight "make-up the addition of. color over the eyes gives a dissipated appearance. "I do not. lelieve that women should. make themselves up for all occasmns, and a thinking woman Will not. In my opinion, a woman should never make up in the morning, that is, before noon. Those are the hours when the complexion is always at its best and. the skin should be allowerd to rest. Then she should (in no account make. There are also‘ up while travelling. some occasions on which a_ woman may intensify her 'make-urp’ Without arous- ing smipicion; for instance, whlcn 'she has been on some exciting expedition. As a matter of fact. eXcitement makes most women pal few who gain color an 7 . it. The pale woman may paint. to imi- tate her more fortunate sister on such occasions. Still, this shmrld be done with the utmost care, for it is a thous- and times better to put on too little (I brilliancy by than not enough. The great crime of_ women who make up is using inferior materials and putting them on carcy lessly. The first hurts their own skins. the second . eyes». So I say if women Will .make up. and many of them will do it. they should be taught to use the proper ma- terials and how to put them on." _â€"~â€"â€"â€"â€"- CANADA’S DEFENCES. Ii- (‘hiirles Dllkc Thinks Canada Should no Bcller Prepared In l'rolccl lle-‘scll'. Charles Dilke in a letter from Eng- land touches upon the subject of the defence of Canada in the event of a war with the United States. He says: "The statement of our military needs made by the average mam neglects the defence of Canada. We yielded to pressure from the Unit- edStates in the Venezuelan question. We are yielding to similar pressure again, and pressurr- somewhat ungracâ€" iously applied in the sealing ques» tion. There is a war party, or a jingo party, in the United States which op- enly avows the intention to humili- ate and weaken. us, and ultimately to drive us into war. There are. it is to be hoped, and perhaps, believed, in the United States a majority of peaceâ€" loving citizens who shrink with as much horror as we do from the pros- pect of a conflict between such powâ€" ers; but, however anxious we may be for peace, and however much we may work to keep it, yet we cannot close our eyes to the obvious facts, and one of these facts is that circumstances might occur under which we should. by no fault of our own, find ourselves at war with the United States, with Canada calling upon us to defend her. “In “Problems of Greater Britain,’ published by me in 1890, I ventured to point out that Canada. did not take sufficient steps for her own proâ€" tection. and she takes even shorter steps in that direction than she took in 1880. Her permanent corps are small in proportion to those of the Au- stralasian colonies, who have no neighâ€" bor except New Caledonia, and would be far more likely to conquer Caledonia in the event of war with France than New Caledonia wouldbe to conquer them. The active militia force in Canada has a. tendency to deâ€" crease in number. "Canada has not sufficeint arms for war, and if she wishes under all cir- cumstances, as her recent trade ac- tion seem to show, to stand apart from the United States and to remain a portion. and an increasingly impor- 9, but there are some. hurts other people’s ‘7 amour. “hermit. fHE CLEVER LITTLE SEISMOGRAPH AND AN ENGLISHMAN.

Of course he did E did nnl make the terrible foe of the briâ€" 9111' a prison-9r, nor put it in a rage for exhibition. The. achicvcinent was mu-ic possible. by that, remarkable little inâ€" strument called the seismugrapli. which was invented by Prof. Ewing. (if 'l‘okio.

Rivers rise suddenly and fall almost as suddenly as they rise. but in a short space of tune work sad havocs to life and property. In the instance referred to the ground was fissure/d in many places and large quantities of mud and ‘Sllflfl Ihmwn up. These fissures arc due .10 the forward movement of the earth wave which travels in the same manâ€" .nier as a wave of water. The English .SaYflnt- ('OllCernIng whose experiments this article is written. knowing that seismic disturbances occur in India frc- lqufmlyv PUt up a roughly constructed l§elsmograph for the purpose of observ- mg ONE OF TlH/E SHOCKS. The instrument gave a trace of the horâ€" lzuntal movement of a point on the Surface of the earth on a piece of glass. If one cares to follow this idea out it .is not a difficult task to see how readi- ly the course of the earthquake itself was indicated upon it, the subsequcntl shocks being mark-ed by little lines like the hairs on a caterpillar. _ The way to show exactly how this curiousuuake curved and twisted is to take prints on a piece of sensitized pap- er from the glass and then trace them. ill] the print; which appears the course of the quake is magnified many times, t l i l New I iwhifill rem or it possible to olserve how exceedingly minute the actual moveâ€" ment of the surface is. th the queer Limes on the scismograpli glass were act- ual delineations of a severe earthquake shock. By this very shock which you can observe a small portion of the crops were destroyed by mud and sand. LV- ery house and structure that was built of stone was simply shaken to pieces. but this was not so strange when it. is considered that the buildings were nev- er constructed for the purpose of with- standing earthquakes. Greai shape- less lumps of stone, were laid in every inferior mortar. and therefore one is not surprised that buildings built as they are came down. in fact. it is doubtful if the best masonry would have stood the shock. _ [in the cemetery huge slabs of granâ€" do or marble were je. ked several 31131161 out of place. The opinion is entertain-- ed that the shocks were due to a movement along scientists call “fault.” which means a peculiar condition of the earth running along the southern side of the Khasia and Gare hills. from near Cachar on the east to and beyond the Bramahputra. j AN ODD FACT. which comes to mind is the peculiar sound which one often hears in this region which is known as the “Burisai Guns." No one has ever been able to fathom the cause of these remarkable noises which have been a. puzzle for many years. it is now suggested by those who have studied. the. matter int every detailt hat these noises are. really connected with the same suttermnean movement, which results sometimes in earthquakes, and that they! are caused by slight slips, as it were, on the earth which are insufficient to cause actual shocks of earthquake. The sounds one hears are sometimes accompanied or fol- lowed by a very slight shock. but more often without any shock. At all times the sounds are almost exactly like those resulting from the discharge of heavy artillery. . Few persons outside of India suppose that it is a country greatly troubled by earthquakes. As amatter of fact they are not often experienced in those sections of India where Europeans reâ€" 'side. The natives. however, where they Ido happen have really become hardenâ€" ,ed to them, and an earthquake shock is gnot thought of very much moment unâ€" less so severe that the town or village Icollapses. Even then the native, with the philosophy which is characteristic of your true East] Indian, simply says i tant portion of the British Empireulhis equivalent of the Moslem: "Allah she is bound to raise the numbers of her active militia and improve their training, and to supply them with proper transport and fitting reseve of arms. Canada is given to suggesting the use of the Canadian Pacific Rail- road, as our great all-British road to the Pacific: hut Canada. as a military power, is altogether behind not only Roumania or Switzerland. but even Bulgaria, and is not in a position to defend her territory west of the great lakes. If she is to be defended under present circumstances she will call on us to play a leading part in her defence." _â€"_oâ€"â€"â€"â€"â€" REFOIRM 1N BADEN-BADEN.

Buttons and strings are the potent ‘occasions of much unhappiness in our daily experiences. One of course takes it for granted that the one who is reponsible for sewing on these useful, and indeed indispensable, requisites to the completeness and elegance of the toilet has attended in good season to her duty, so the garment is tied or is buttoned, and the wearer goes forth to the daily toil as of old the warrior put himself in order for the battle. Alas! too often the event proves eith- er lack of vigilance on the side of the home custodian or lack of conscience on that of the merchant from whose shop the raiment was bought. Shoes, for example, are in evidence as witnesses to the tidiness or the neglect of those whose feet they clothe. Yet it is often in vain that the pur- chaser pays an extra price to have the buttons securely fastenedâ€"so securely that they will resist ordinary wear and tear. They fly off at the most un- expected moments. and are the cause \of vexation and mortification to the person who prides herself on always looking well-groomed and neat. The only thing to do is to sew your own shoe-buttons on with doubled and twisted thread. carefully waxed. tak- ing pains to separately fasten off each button, and to see that each is inde- pendent of the next. The bane of com- fort. so far as shoe-buttons are con- cerned, lies in the thread on which they are strung. \Vhen one breaks loose it loosens the next and the next: and there is no help for itâ€"a halfâ€"dozen buttons must be sewed on before the original deficiency-is repaired. the line of what the. ‘ TE iE FARM. THE USE OF THE SILO. The seed is the only finished vegeâ€" table product produced on the farm.

Hence the many methods of preserving fruits and .veget‘ll’IOS. which in but few cases are in reality the true fruit, but only its store house for the temporary Pm" tecticn until time for release. For the preservation of the grasses. , and fodders for cattle, hay making and corn cutting have been the general methods. and until within the last few Years of careful experiments. it was Suppose-:1 that nearly all the nutri- ment. material in the growing stalks was in this way preserved. .But it is now known that much is lost in curing both hay and fodder, and that the value of these in a succulent condition ' is for cattle feed far greater than it. ever can lemme again. To preserve them in this condition of their greatest value, the silo has beenused with encouraging sur'ceSS. It is true many farmers yet think that nothing can be better for cattle or horses or sheep, as rough filling feed than dry hay and dry fodder. Hit: a little experimenting will prove to any one beyond controversy, that well preserved ensilage from any grass. grain or growing herb which. when growing, is food for cattle, is of much» more value for feed. than any hay, fod- der or s‘tover made from the same source and dried. In short, the silo has come to pre- serve for all stock to be fed in winter much nutrition which is of necessity lost, when the food must be dried for preservation. The silo has not yet done for the farmer all that may be done; we may. however, feel assured that it will never stop hay making or even corn cutting for fodder and stover on large farms. Yet in smaller farms where dairy cattle and domestic Stork are to be fed in the most economical and successful method, the silo is bound to hold a prominent place. It will prove not only a feed saving machine but very largely a labor saving machine. When you are using your own canâ€" ned fruits in the winter, see that you have in store something "canned" for the live stock which have always here- tofore been wintered on dry feed.

A correspondent. asks: "Is it safe, as some horticulturis'ts and foresters recâ€" ommend, hocurt away the larger portion of the roots in tnanspllanting a tree, shortening even the main roots? Sec- ond. If young forest trees are properâ€" l'y taken up, with care in replanting. are they not as reliable as the nursery grown ’M’ In a humid climate. where the soil 'lS healtthfully moist. it may be safe to root-prune quite closely; but in a. dry climate, like that of the prairied northâ€" west, sublh a. treatment lessens the chances of the tone to live. Our rule should beto retain. as many of the unâ€" harmed fibers as possible, cutting off ahl mutilated ends and judiciously prune, mainly on the limbs, so as to preserve a necessary balance between the roots anddim‘bs, ivinlg the former the pre ' ‘nderance life force. The fibers, ive leaves, are born and die fibers, like leaves, are born and die tinstion of the roots prOper from the fibers. The larger roots are not feedâ€" ers; their main office is to hold the tree in position. They may sustain life for a brief time by water absorpâ€" tion. the same as does a cutting, but they cannot take in the necessary eleâ€" ments for tree growth. Hence the .hzinces for the tree to live an greatly weaned the roots are so conditioned! they cannot push out fibers.

I I TREATMENT or cows. l u The fact that dairy cows should be treated kindly and be kept as quiet and contented as possible ins been stated and re-staled almost times with- out number. lts importance is suffi- . Ycient to justify all the attention) which it has received. Not only this, but the general truth which such a statement contains has a far wider ap- plication. All domestic animals should receive kind treatment. and should be kept as comfortable as possible. Whether the animal is kept for work, for breeding purposes, for fattening, or for production in any other direc- tion, it is certain that the best results [can only be obtained by treating it vkindly. Fear, physical injury, or ner- ‘ vous irritation will certainly make the animal less profitable than it other- wise would be. Perhaps the cow is more susceptible to injury from these .causes than any of the domestic ani- jmals. but they all, even including the pig Will certainly show the effects of ‘ harsh treatment. The kind treatment: of animals was formerly considered i wholly a. matter of Sentiment, and this side of the matter should still be re- garded. Animals should bewelltreatâ€" ed lflcause it is right and humane to make them comfortable. But now it is known that cruelty tor even no- ‘ glect, not only affect; the animals unâ€" I favorably, but also causes direct finan- | cial loss to their owners. Consequent- ' ly. kindness to the live stock can pro- lperly be classed under the head of ' policy as well as under that of princi- l ple. This subject is always timely, but ' just now, when so many cows are com- ing fresh, and the fattening season for bollocks is at hand, it seems wor- lthy of spec3al notice. _â€"â€".â€"â€"â€"q ENGLISHMEN AND LETTER “IL’ _ l‘hclr Disrespect line to lnflucnce «(French lngnngc. The question is asked by "An Engâ€" lishman." " \thy is it that English peo- ple are such sinners in respect to tho improper use of the letter “h?” The writer goes on to saw that the Scotch. Irish and Americans are not given to this faultiness in speech, says London; Tidâ€"Bits. Philologists says the fnequent disre- spect with which the letter is treated is largvelpy due to the influence of the French language on our own. and es- pecially upon those of the English- speaking race who live in England ‘it- self. As every one knows the “h” is not aspirated in the French language. which was until the middle ages large- ly used in this country. _ Then, for almost centuries at a time, in the days of the Plantagenets, our English soldiers, who were wandering about France. became. naturally enough' affected by its people’s manner of speech, and returned to their own coun- try to infect their families. and acâ€" qwai’ntances with the sauna influences which go to determine method of pro- nunciation. .And at that time it was really an Englishâ€"not Britishâ€"army which did the bulk of the fighting. Again, from time to time, various quarters of England have been used as settlements for French refugeesâ€"the Huguenots, for exampleâ€"and French" prisoners. Even so late as the begin- ning of the present century, when we were in a chronic state of warfare With Napoleon Bonaparte, great numbers of Frenchmen settled, as prisoners on parole, in Englandâ€"the southern and midland counties especially, which..as we know, are the districts in which the aspirate is least observed. Scotland, Ireland and Wales were not under these same influences, their greater distance from the continent being one of the reasons. ‘ But the constant “h” dropping am- ong the working classes in England to- day is, I am sure, largely due to the fact that the working man who perâ€" sists in speaking of his bores, his house and his home, instead of his 'orse, base. and 'orne, is regarded by his companions .as a pendant, and one who " puts Side on.” I have often noticed that domes- tic servants are quite accurate or near- ly so in the use of the aspirate when speaking to their mistresses. etc, while once back again in the kitchen among their fellows, there ceases to be m "h " in their counpoeition.
