HINTS FOR GLNANLINENS AND HEAIiTH.
—People who hays no opportunity to
enjoy sea bathing will be glad to know
that a substitute nearly, if not quite,
as strengthening is . found in an am
monia bath. A gill of liquid ammonia
in a pail of water makes an invigora
ting solution whose strengthening ef
fects can only be compared to a plunge
in the surf. To weak persons -this is
recommended as an incomparable lux
ury and tonic. It cleanses the skin and
stimulates it wonderfully, and leaves
the flesh as firm and cooL as marble.
'gore than this, the ammonia
, purifies
the body from all odor of perspiration.
Those in whom the secretion is un
pleasant will find relief by using a
spoonful of the tincture in 'a bash) of
watA4land washing such •parts of the
body, as maybe necessary.
persdns find great comfort and
benefit from salt water baths, arranged
in this way: A coffee cup,of fiine dis
tilled salt mixed with a gallon of water,
and with a hair gleve or coarse towel,
the body thoroughly bathed with the
mixture, rubbing until the body is
aglow. Then follows' an ,exhilaration
akin to surf bathing.. Ftir a delicate
child such a bath is - rroommen tea as
speedily beneficial.
An decagonal bran bath greatly im •
proves the condition of the skin. The
French women find it leaies their dark,
clear flesh as soft us a baby's. A peck
of common bran, to be had at any of
the feed stcii es, ha stirred into a tub of
warm water. The rubbing of the scaly
particles of the bran cleanse the skin,
white the. , ' gluten. in it softens and
strengthens the tissues. The friction
of the loose bran culls the blood to the
surface, nervous and irritable people
find special benefit from it for their
minds as well as their bodies.—Pli3r,
sicians say the habitual use of soap up
on the face leaves the skin - brown, and
recommend a little oat meal is the
ter, or the ammonia suggeste4 above.
Ladies who have moist or oily skins
should use quite hot water for their
baths, and ,a little hay ruth rubbed
over the fade. . A tablespoonful in the
washbowl of water prevents that shiny
app -sirance of the skin which is so an
noying to many ladies; .

MRS: HIGGINS'S MAN.
For thirty - years 11141 s Higgius bad
looked under the bed every night and
had-never fouud a man there, yet still
vhe looked, Whether it was fear that
impelled that death-like research, or a
fatality that' was beckoning her to her
fate, I.know not. It would seemihow
ever to . be the' former e for she had Often
been heard to ohserr : "That of all
the abominations on: earth, a Man was
the most abominable."
- -
Indeed, at the informal tea-drinking
of the allied forces of 'l3heaterville, the
three Misses Wheeler and the two Miss
es Jones, she bad often' excelled them
all in the withering tone with which
she would. 'repeat : 'Man man !' No
one could breathe greater defiance at
this foemuu than she. It was atone of
these ten parties that they had , entered
into a solemn compact that, in the
event of Woman's Rights giving either
of these allies sovereign power over the
nation, - an Eastern law was to be by
them imported end Improved, and huff!
bands burnell with the dead bodies of
their wives.
As Eunice Higgins well temaiked
"That would put an end to win
dowers pretty lively.' And with this
remark the Hyson flowed, and the was
sail went on—with such a spirit that,
Aurelia Wilde, the most radical, added
another clause : 'That the children, of
widowers thould be' thrown in too and
not be bothering other women.' This
was also well received.
Now if any one thfnks that Miss Eu
nice Higgins was a wear devoid of
virtues and womanly graqes, I pity them
—they are so utterly:mistaken. She
had assisted a drunken father through
the world, till he made his exit-laus
tabled and supported by. a feeble moth
er—oad• three or four childrvi older
but more helpless than l obe, (ill the
mother went home .to her reward, and,
the children had found flourishing
homes for themselves, 'with the excep
tion of the oldest souho bad followed
his father footsteps lit rally. Indeed,
when one contemplate the specimens
Of manhood she has be n familiar with,
her aversion to the sex oes not seem Lo
wonderful. She was of shrew-eyed,
but good and kindly louking. No home
was brighter than 'hem . No farm bet
ter managed. - '
The night uu witic!t cominezees nay
humble histoty, Miss - Higgins - went to
her roi.tu in unusual good humor. She
had had a tea party. The allies had all
been pre seat, and admitted unanimous
ly that such fragrant tea, such knowy
biscuits and honey, such golden but
ter, such cakes avid sweetmeats had not
'been rartaken 'ef: -that season. Th
scene of her benign victory rose before
ha r at die look off the 1 :" . " 44447,11 of
hair at cue latex or per 'head, anti pen
_lively rolled it up ere she pnt it in the
top bureau drawer.
She saw again the sinking sun shining
-in, through her house plants in the win
dow, upon the drugget of the dining
room ; the snowy tea, table with its sil
ver and pink sprigged china ; the ad;
miring faces of her friends as the par--
took of her delicious food. Btit one
memory disquieted .her. "She dltnost
mistrusted her leuion extract was losing
its strength—the frosting.on the , fruit
cake didn't seem to be flavored quite
enough." But this haunting inantier
was softened by - the thought that
"she could get a new bottle to-mor
row.
By this time she was arrayed in her
long white night dross and night cap.
She folded up every article of clothing.
and laid it down at right angles, she
looked up ,it her breastpin, and then
impelled by fate-she calmly advanced
to the side of the bed mad raised- the
snowy valences—gave one shriek, and
fell back on the carpet, hitting.her head
as she did so on chair rocker. There
Was her man under her bed.
Miss Higgins hid often fancied how
she would awe such a robber, such a
burglar with fier fearleis and searching
glances ;, how she would defend her
property with her life. Let us not be
too bard with her—she is not the only
one of us who has found that it is more
easy to dream of great achievements
than to accomplish them. She is not
the only ode who, af the first shock, has
tumbled down before adverse fate.
fiat Eunice Higgins _ wee not tte one
_
to wither away before a can:laity. Not
long did she lie there ; but as .short a
time as it was; When she lifted her head
her man confronted her. He was a ve
ry Innen man, indeed, not more than
seven years old, and small at that, very
good looking and well clothed, although
exceediugiy disbelved and• uncomfoi ta
ble in appearance.
'How came you here, under my bed
Tbis was the Bret (leaden, but it !rite
repeated before he answered, with
drooping head and glauee3 r
•
'l've runn'd aw s ay.' •
'Run away from where ?'
'From our (onto.'
'Who is your folks ?' • .
•
'Father.' a •
Here the dialogue terminated sudden
ly, Eunice Higgins becoming suddenly
conscious that a night gown and night
cap wan not the proper raiment in
which to,eutertain even so small a man.
Out in the sitting room,, beneath the
warm light of tercrmene gleaming
throngh rose geraniums, and the keen
er light of Eunice Ifiggius's,cyes, the
inquisition was ientinued. From which
these facts were gleaned: 1.
That the boy. Johnny D@le,.hail been
so tried with his father. , beit4use he
wouldn't let him go to a .circui, that he
bad run away. • It was tarly i in the
morning ; he said, and Aid got a
ride with a teamster, and rode, with
him till 'afternoon, so he'must have
some some instance. After tie teamster
.had stopped, ho walked on, and coming
to see
_h er door the twilight, he
thought he would ask her , for supper,
but there was no one in; Mimi Higgins
had gone piece' with her visitors
But the tea table stood there, laden
with good things.; he had helped him
eelf generously. and then as he' heard
her step suddenly outside, guilt, which
makes cowards of us all, drove him into
the bedroom, and, as the step -panics
nearer and nearer, under the bed. His
unusual fatigue bad overpowered him,
and he had fallen asleep, and was awa
lienedOnly hy,, her scream. as she dis.
covered him. I -
Miss Higgins bad found the man she
had been looking for for. tbirty years,
but now the question , arose, what was
she to do with him? As ho hattno de
signs upon her property or her life,
she could not lecture him therefore.
And as his courage arose, he displayed
a pretty—a very pretty—face, sur
mounted by a mass of white curls, in
which shone two hen's feathers. Miss
Higgins was very neat, but where is
the feathered.bed tbat will not occasion
ally shed a few taps, dry tears happily
falling over . the giemory of former
nights? -
'Miss Higgins's good sense, backed
by her good - heart taught her - that what
her man needed now . was a good sup
per and a bed. But in the merniug
the question again vexed her. ' What
was she to. do with her man—shouhl
she advertise him? Again: She ques
tioned him ie t::e anti-lighted ;
- ;ooLiat his eicelleut breakfast.
-'Wherebou6 do your fufki • live—in
what place?'
He looked np mildly at
,her,. with a
large piece of peach . pie, Midway be
tween his plate and his mouth, and
swered obediently: •
'Oar folks' house.'
'Who is your folks?'
'Fatbei.'
•
The allies were called in; the stiffly
starched inquest Baton Miss Higgins's
man. The additional ' result of their
over-questioning being that the father
of Miss Higgins's man belonged to that
corrupt and shameless sect--widowers.
Mies Higgins trembled:
'Had she not bitter diepciso of her
man at once? Was it not partly en
couraging widowers in their nefarious
doings, to harbor these small men?'
She asked these questions with Some
relenting of hear, for already bad the
childish Lime Si her man been •upon
her, and it was with great relief that
she heard`the decision of AnreliA, the
most radical of the allies.
'No! keep him here.' Such a chance
was.seldom vouchsafed to the allies to
teach one - of these men—widowers—a
lesson they would not EOOll forget.
'Punish that wretch, that unnatural
widower, by saying 'nothing about -the
child. IA him think he was lost; let
Lim hunt him up the best way he can.'
The yonnger Miss Jones—she was
only forty and naturally timid and ap
preheusiie—suggeited 'that 'it would
he just like one of these men to come
_right here to Miss Higgins's after him.
'There wasn't anything they hadn't the
lace to do. It would be just - like ono
of 'em to walk Into her sitting-room.'
Hero Miss Higgins remarked with
spirit: 'She would like to . see him
walk into her house. He 47ouldn!t stir
a step beyond the hall, and as for that
stair carpet she was going to take it up
and cleanse it any
This remark, which was warmly tip
plauded, terminated the conference.
• Johnny did not seem averse' to the
arrangment. He WC3 at the ago 'when
bodily cc:futon overshadows the mental.
He appeared to have a great deal of
affection for his father, but there was a
Sarah Ann at the Very mention Of whose
name he almost gorghed his teeth.
`She was awful. she had shaken 11 4, 32,
pinched him and pilled his hair,'
Eunice Higgins's' warm heart almost
melted within her at the recital of. his
sufferings.
A week passeA away,
.and daily had
Miss Higgins's man gained upon her
affections. She was . ' the youngest
child of her parents, ; and had never
known the delights of childish society.
She had dwelt so long alone, that 'to
have that bright, manly little face
oppisite hers at the drelkfast table,
looking out of the window,lisiling her
return from her 'abort absence, his
merry, innocent prattle and rin&ng
laugh, were all more aggreeable to her
than she would_ be willing to aCknowl
edge.
- She grew lenient to the boyish nerve

garden paths in startling proiimity to

She raveled out a long stocking, and
out of one of her second best, MoroceO
shoes made a ball for jiim; and when
he lost it in her beat meadow. she her
self boldly breasted tile clover waves.
side by side with him in pursuit of it.
So that beautiful week passed away.
and one morning Bulk:e t Higgins was
called from her snowy dairy nom by
a ring at the front door.
Opening it, she confronted a pleas
ant looking man of - about her own age.
Woman's nnering intuition slid to her,
'That is be.' Here . was the onortunity
to wither him with her glances. But
how could she when he looked so much
like. Johnny, just such a pleasant man
ly look to hie face. • Hunice did not
wither him.
'lhave been informed, Stadam, that
there has been a boy, a- -runaway boy,
here—is it so ?' •
Insteadof the prussic - acid and vine
gar that she had decigned to have in
her tone, the likeness to her man so
softened her voice, that it was only
pleasantly acidulous, like a ripe lemon,
as she replied, 'Yes, sir, it is.'

'Yes, sir, he is.' •
',His anxious eye so brightened at this
that ehe entirely forgot her carpets and
her enmity, and actually invited him
No sooner was he seated than Johnny
ran - in with eager , eyes.
'Father ! Father !'
He threw his arms around his father's
neck and kissed hie= bearded lips and
then, to his delight, .-he turned and
threw his arms around - Eunice Higgins's
neck, and kissed her !itb the same pair
of lips, and still Miry Higgins could

exceedingly goad. He obtained board
for the summer, for himself and son; at
the little hotel. Bat in all Cheatervilie
no sir was so salubrious, he thought,as
the air of Milis Eunice Higgins's parlor,
conse i quently he sought that heathfnl
retreat often, Johnny going before like
an o_ive branch.
Day after day did Mr. Dale tread over
the immaculate purity of her carpets,
and tliey were not taken up and cleansed.
Hour after hour did
.he sit upon' her
parlor sofa, and it was not purified with
soapsuds or benzine.,
And at last, one, peaceful twilight, it
was on the I4th of September,. at the
close of a long conversation—tooth of
the parties being at the time, of sound
mind—Johnny's father kissed Miss
niugille upon her cheek. •
When I say that she - did not immedi

result which followed.; `

Hyson, and still more burning indigna

And thus endeth the story of Miss Hig

How They' Partxd.
A year ago this sprpg,, a Detroitei
and a Missourian beeadf aequainted
with each other in Leadvilfe. Having
decided that they could better .them
selves ontside . of the city they journeyed
away over the hills and founded; the
town of twin Lakes. They built a
Shanty stored their things is it, and
Sunday came around.. Before the:Mis
sourian was awake the Detroiter had
shaved, washed, end put on a clean
shirt: Indeed, he also changed his
socks and greased his boots, when the
other awoke he looked at the. Detroiter a
long time without speaking. Then he
got up and walked around him and
finally tadroad
'Going to church anywhere today ?'
.No.'
•Any funeral around here anywhere ?'
'No.'
'Expect Queen - Victoria to vibit you
to-day ?'
'No.'
The Pike county man turned away
and prepared his breakfast without
another word. - When be' had finished
it he went And sat down on a rock and
looked straight at the hills for an hour,
then be went back -to the shanty and
said :
are you . ..going to do this regular
ly every Sunday ?',
'Why I like to clean up a little at the
end of every week.!
'I 'epose yoti wouldn't help get up a
mule oil Sunday ?'
'Well, hardly.' - •
'Nor a dog fight ?'
think not. . -
'And you wouldn't make it a day for
old midge and poker ?'
'Not if I could do letter.'•
'Jim, you and rem ;mist Part;' quietly
began the Missourian, as ho began
picking up his things.
'No ! What's the matte; ?' _
ain't . no such man as I can tie
up to. We'd quarrel in no time.'
'About what ?' •- .
About toiled shirts and clean clothes
and chtirches, and iota of other things
Jim.'
'Yes.'
'Gimme $25 for my share of Twin
Lakes, and I'll walk.'
'Bat I must. I wasn't. brung up in
your way, and I can't tumble to it.
We can part frieuda now, but if I was
here neat Sunday, and you refused to
play a game of seven-up with - me We
should part enemies.'
He gotihis things ready and the two
walked nio the Leadville• trail together
for a mile. Then they halted and the
Detroiter said
'Old pard, ,=it makes me lonesome.'
'And her©; too.'
'And you wont' go back ?"
'I can't. I can tie up to most any-
thing but a man who puts on Sunday
clothes. Goodbye pard.
'Good bye old man and may luck go
with you.'
And tber turned their backs - on each
other and walked' await' without another
word, one to build up his lonetoivn and
the other , to find exemption from white
shirts and clean shaves.'

_Reecho! on Monopolies.
"There were two dangerous tenden
cies developing in our time. Mi. Beech
er continued. There was a great peril
and danger from' the combinatiOns of
capital. Money 'was power. We had
found that no man could be trusted
enough to be given too much power.
Another element was now coming up—
the power of property. The develop-,
merit of wealth was now greater in
amount, :greater in scope, and greater
in extent than ever before, and now
came the combination of wealth. : That
which was dangerous in individual hands
became doubly so in combination.—
gigantic monopolies were created by
the force of accumulated wealth. Sup
pose a man wanted to go into the oil
business, and put $lOO,OOO into the ven
ture. The Standard , Oil Company
.would say to , that man, "You !must sell
out to Its; you must - give us a percentage
of all your profits. If you, don't we, will
crush you." If the man should say that
this was a f ree country, they would re
ply, "Yes, and it is as free for combined
wealth as for a single individual." The
Standard Oil Company, said Mr. Beech
er, is like twenty Egyptian pyramids
in a -bunch, with taharaoh on top of
each. It is one of the greateat, combi
nations.on the face of the earth, and it is
not one whit better, because one of the
test men in it is a member of a leading
Bapt'st church in. Brooklyn.
Then there were the railroad combi
rations, with five or ten men controlling
10;000 miles of railroads, and billions
on billions of prciperty. They had their
hands on the very throat of commerce.
If th 4 should need to have , a man in
sympathy with them in the Executive
chair, it would require only five pockets
to put him there. There were going
out of New York City at least three or
four roads that were as yet 'undeveloped
dangers to the very existence of incor
rapt central government.
Concerning labor troubles.. When
capital organized, labor must also' or
ganize for self-defense. 'The question
of wages that used to be dis cussed at
one end of society, was now discussed
at both ends. Organized labor was the
broadest kind of an academy, in which
men elr d' educate themselves. _ Atr.
Beecher concluded his sermon with a
few words on Communism; - which, he

in this country as without any danger

Too-Too.—Au aged gentleman from
the country, whose on ialk is as hon
est and sturdy as his conversation, was
much, amazed
. yesterday at beholding
the aPpearancd.of a Boston young lady.
The fair creature descended from a horse
car almost at his feet, teetered lightly'
on her toes thrice, adjusted her arms:
like the plumed extremities of a trussed
fowl, permitted her hands to dangle as
do the fore paws of a kangoroo, and
sailed down the street with a sort of a
willowy wabble which set her head to
bobbing _after the fashion of a Chinese
drill, her eyes the while being set • and
anxious, and her whole appearance sug
gestive of dislocation and distress. And
when one of our gilded youth, in a coat
with no tails to speak of, and a batlike
a soup plate cocked over his left eye,
darted after with arms and legs tor Ming
segments of circles after the approved
traditions of the "chicken walk," he
remarkei that he'd be revised if he
could understand - what. had got into
these city folks. . •
FORSAKING THE LANDMARKS.—It is
i i
our opinion th
,t in' the church, as in
politics, there as been a. gradual giv
ing way from he old-time inchorings ;
that in consequence there is lee& of gen
uine piety in the church and less of pa
triotism in the 'hearts Of the people. , In
the mad chase-for what is called "pop
ular religion"—something to tickle the
!alloy and catch the almighty dollar, the
church, irrespective of denominational
lines, has, 'gone over 'to the enemy.
So many evidences appear that wearer
sometimes led to believe that the devil's
propotition to the &vimr on the
Mount has since been accepted by a
large number of His professed followera,
in order to better suppeit thepomp and
splendor demanded by those who are
attracted to the 'house of worship' by
the highest .salarie4 preacher, the cest
liest - church edifice, and the gayest
dressed,attendants. As in politica, 'so '
it is in , religion. There is a constant
and growing tendency to.foraske our
land-marks ; both Church and State are
more or less inclined to join in the but
terfly chase. for spoils ; and in our yield
ing, tolanit the new order of ihingi, we
as a nation and people are growing un
democratic—tbcre is less and leas of
Christian simplicity, leas charity, and
more style than a Paris Expetition.—
