Beauty Rules,
Kule One.—A woman's power in the
world is measured by her power to please.
Whatever she may wish to accomplish she
will best manage it by pleasing. A woman's
grand social aim should be to please, And
let me tell you how that is to be done. A
woman can please the eye by her appear
ance, her dtess, her face and her figure.
Bhe can please the ear by studying the art
of graceful elocution, not hard to any of
us, for by nature we speak with finer arti
culation than men. She can please the
mind by cultivating her own- so far at
least, as to make her a good listener; and
as much further as she will. She can
please the fancy by l&die's wit, of which
all of us have a share. She can please the
heart by amiability. Beauty of person is
only one feature of true beauty.
Rule Two. —Modesty is the ground on
which all a woman's charms appear to the
best advantage. In manners, dress, con*
versation, remember always that modesty
must never be forgotten. There is now a
da} s a tendency in woiffen to rebel against
old fashioned modesty. The doctrine of
liberty is spreading among us, for which 1
thank God. But the first effects of that
doctrine on our miDds are a little confus
ing. We are growing more independent
and more individual. Some of us fancy
that to be modest is to be old-fashioned,
and of course we want the newest fashions
in all things. 1 maintain that a modest
woman is the reply of my sex to a brave
man—you can no more have a true woman
without modesty than a true man without
courage. But remember, I use the word
modesty in a high sense. Not prudery.
Prudery is on the surface; modesty is in
the soul. Rosalind in her boy's suit is de
lightfully modest, but not very prudish.
Kule Three.—Always dress up tv your
age or a little beyond it. Let your person
be the youngest thing about you; not tne
oldest. A very important lesson for women
of forty. The attempt to dress for young
almost invariably leads to a reaction in the
spectator's miud, and the traces of years
become more palpable and more signifi
cant. But a slight and graceful assumption
of years in one's dress has an opposite ef
fect.
Rule Four.—Kemember that what wo
men admire in themselves is seldom what
men admire in them. In nine drawing
rooms out of ten, Miranda or Cordelia, as
novel heroines, would be voted bores.
Women would say, "We would utterly
decline to accept these watery girls as ty
pical of us; we want smartness and lite."
1 don't really care much tor Miranda or
Cordelia myself. Now this seems to me
to caution us against ti listing too implicitly
or too tar our notions about ourselves.
Another source of misunderstanding comes
trom the novel-writers. We are the novel
readers, and the novelist is forced to write
heroines to suit our taste: He does not
want to offend us. Thus it comes about
that even ihe male novelist is too often
only depicting women's women, after all.
And 1 believe stores of modern girls are
seriously misled for this very reason. They
believe they are finding out what men
think of them, when in truth they are read
ing their own notions handed bads to tfiem
under a pretty disguise.
Rule Five —Women's beauties are sel
dom men's beauties. If ten men and ten
women were to go into the same company,
and each sex chose the prettiest woman
there, as tliey thought, you would rarely
find that they chose the same, if this be
so, we ought not to trust ourselves even as
o our faces without considering that the
sex we are to please must in the end settle
the question, and will settle the question
ia its own way.
Rule Six.—Gayety tempered by serious
nees is the happiest manner m society. By
which 1 mean, that in all onr gayety there
ought to be a hint of Self-recollection. The
most agreeable women I have met with -
and 1 think the most regarded—have been
women of social position, who have been
trained with due regard for religion. Their
worldly education had made them mindful
of grace and liveliness; the religious edu
cation kept these qualities under a particu
lar sort ef control, which is perceptibly
different bom mere good breeding. It
seems to me that vivacity spnghthness are
greatly c nhanced by a vein of seriousness.
Certainly no woman ought to be a mocker.
Rule Seven.—Always speak low. This
is obvious. In support ot it I need only
quote Skakspeare, who calls it "an excel
lent thing in woman."
Rule Eight.—A plain woman can never
be pretty. She can always be fascinating,
if she takes pains. I well remember a
man who was a great admirer of our sex
telling me that one of the most tascinating
women he had ever known, was not only
not pretty, but as to her face decidedly
plain—ugly, only the word is rude, x
asked my friend, "How then, did she fas
cinate?'' 1 well remember his reply. "Her
figure," Baid he, "was neat, her dressing
was faultless, her every movement was
graceful, her conversation was clever and
animated, and she always tried to please.
It was not I alone who called her fascina
ting; she was one of the most acceptable
women in society 1 ever knew. She mar
ried brilliantly, and her husband, a lawyer
in large practice, was devoted to her—
more than if she had been a queen of beau
ties." Here was a woman who, excepting
a fairly net figure, had not a
single natural gift of appearance. Is
Niot this worth our thinking about by those
of us women who care to please and are
not beauties born?
Ruie Nme.—Every year a woman lives,
the mere pains she should take with her
dress.. The dress of us elderly dames
ought to be more of a science than it is.
How often one bears a woman of fifty say:
"O, my dressing days are pastl" When,
if Bhp thought about it, they have well be
gun. At least the time has come when
dress is more to her than ever. Remem
ber from forty to sixty-five is a quarter of
a century—the third of a long life. It is
the period through which the majority of
grown up people pass. And yet how lit
tle pride women take—how little thought
beforehand —to lie charming then!
Rule Ten. —ln all things let a woman
ask what will please the men of sense be
fore she asks what will please men of fash
ion. Iby no means intend that a woman
is not to have regard to the men of fashion
only she sbOtJd not give it the first place.
She will carry the men of fashion sooner
by methods that please men cf sense than
men ot sense by methods that please men
of fashion. They always praise a woman
for things which begin to perish at twenty
live. Even the old men of seventy will
talk of <k a fine girl—deucedly fine figure!''
And they will call a woi ian rather on the
decline, when, if she & on the decline,
where and what are they? You see, if a
woman lives for the commendation of men
of fashion she will, if pretty, piquant, or
what not, have a reign of ten years. But
if she remembers that she has charms of
mind and character and taste, as well as
cnaruos of figure and complexion, the men
of sense wiil follow her for half a century;
tsDd in the long run the men of fashion will
be lead by the men of sense.
A MAN with a red nose doesn't need a
placard hung around his neck to tell the
world what caused it. You're right he
don't The little joker starts off as soon
as he begins to smile.
Modern Troglodytes.—Dr. Oswald, in
an article in the Popular Science Monthly,
calls people who live and sleep in close
rooms, and neglect to breathe pure air,
modern Troglodytes. Common atmosphe
ric air—pure air—is as necessary to life
and health as food, more necessary, in
fact. The stomach may be without food
for twenty-four hours without serious de
triment, and fcr three days without en
dangering lite, while the food for the lungs
cannot be totally stopped for six minutes
without fatal consequences. We take into
our lungs with every breath about one pint
of air, and breathe about twenty tunes per
minute, so that the quantity of gaseous
food tlihs consumed by the body amounts
in a day to 075 cubic feet. Eatiug aud
drinking are therefore secondary or sup
plementary to the more important part
performed by the lungs. Everywhere on
the surfaae of the earth for fifty miles high
the air, mixed in the proper proportions
for healthy respiration, is supplied to sua
tain and build up auimal life. Yet we
contrive houses to exclude it as effectually
as the Nubian caves, and enclose ourselves
therein, and thus enfeeble the race. Thou
sands and tens of thousands actually die
annually from a famine ot air. Our living
rooms, bedrooms, workshops, schoolrooms
public halls and churches are largely so
contrived that we take into the lungs over
and over again the same air that has been
exhaled, and its vital element for building
up and sustaining the animai tissues ex
hausted. Well does Dr. Oswald say it is
distressingly probable that consumption,
that most fearful scourge of the human
race, is not a "mysterious dispensation of
Providence," nor a "product of our outra
geous climate," but the direct consequence
of an outrageous violation of the physical
laws of nature. Dr. llaller thought that
if God punishes suicide, he would make
an exception in favor of consumptives.
But can it be hoped that this exemption
will continue after men are made fully
conscious thai this direful disease can be
avoided by simply breathing constantly the
air prepared in the labaratory of nature,
instead of the fa al gases prepared, re
tained, aud mbaled in our cave-like dwel
lings and places of public meetings. Men,
women and children can only live in health
in fresh air. It may be more agreeable
and better to have the air equable in tem
perature and not overloaded with moisture
but it is far better to have dampness, cole,
and changeableness, than to breathe the
gases left after the oxygen has been extrac
ted from the air by passing through the
lunes, or the air has been disintegrated by
other processes. Let us repeat, then, what
has been so often said by medical men.
Ventilate! ventilate your workrooms, your
houses—particularly your sleeping rooms.
Remember that each persou needs over
3000 cubie feet of fresh air every night.
Ventilate your schoolrooms, public bails
and ohurcnes.
A valuable Antique Inscription. —ln
the Hippodrome at Constantinople mav
still be seen the remains of a venerable
trophy of the Persian war, rhe bronze ser
pent, which, with the gold tripod it sup
ported, was dedicated to the Delphian
Apollo by the allied Greeks after the vic
tory of Plataea, as a tenth of the Persian
spoil. On the bronze serpent, which serv
ed as a base for the tripod, the -bacedtc
monians inscribed the names of the vari
ous Hellenic {States which took part in re
pelhng the barbaric invader. The golden
tripod perished long ago in the sacrilegious
plunder of Delphi by the Phoci&ns but the
bronze serpent remained in its original
position till it was removed by Constaa
tine the Great, to decorate, with other
spoils of llellas, his new seat of empire at
Byzantium. Here it has remained in the
Hippodrome till our own time, not un
scathed, for the last of the tiree heads of
the serpent has long since disappeared;but
the list of Greek states inscribed ou the
intertwined fclds of ihe body remains per
fectly legible to this day, having been for
tunately preserved from injury by the ac
cumulation of eoiJ in the Hippodrome.
This earth concealed about two thirds of
the serpent till tne excavation made in the
Hippodrome in 1855, wk n the inscription
was first brought to light. As the date of
the battle of Pla'sei was B. C. 478. it may
be assumed that the setting up of the tri
pod took place shortly afterward. Thus
the inscription would not be later than B.
C 476. Of hardly inferior interest is the
bronze helmet found at Olympta early in
this century, which, as its inscription tells
us, was part of a trophy dedicated by
Hiero L, of Syracuse, iiJfter his great naval
victory over the Tyrrhenians, B. C. 474.
If the German excavations now going on
at Olympia continue to yield results as
promising as the discoveries which have
distinguished the first months of this en
terprise, we may hope that many similar
records of Hellenic triumphs may be found
in the rich soil of the Altis.
Gentian Coat. —Hamburg has been the
scene of a rather novel exhibition, that of
German coal, which we are told, has ex
cited much interest among German patri
ots and commercial men. The idea that
Germany should endeavor to emancipate
herself from the English market and pro
duce her own coal, has, it appears, ac
quired a powerful hold upon the national
imagination, and hence the promotion and
development of the German coal trade has
come to be looked upon as a matter of pa
triotism.
It is also alleged that Westphalian coal
is superior in heating power to English,
and Senator Godeffroy, in his address on
the occasion of the opening of the exhibi
tion, even made it appear that Germany is
in possession of coal fields incomparably
larger than any that England can show.
The Westphalian coal basin alone, said M,
Godeffroy, is capable of producing for 7
centuries to come the same quantity of best
coal annually that all England now yields,
and beyond this, the basin is not vet fully
explored, and is probable capable of ma
terial extension. With all these supposed
advantages Germany has not been able to
beat England out of the field on her own
ground. The city of Hamburg imported
in 1876 about 1,500,000 tons of coal, of
which about six-seventh were the produce
ot England, and only one-seventh of home
production.
A MOST valuable remedy for heaves and
said to be a sure cure: Forty sumac buds,
one pound of rosin, one pint of ginger, half
a pound of mustard, one pound of unslack

ounces of gum gulacum, six ounces of
cream tartar. Mix thoroughly and divide

FISH CTLTOEE —Hundreds of farmers
in Pennsylvania have turned their atten
tion to fiUh culture. Many have stocked
ponds and streams, pnd in moit case 3
they have been successful, especially with
carp, and in a few years they will depend
upon fish for a subsistence as much as
upon any other fnrm product.
MR. JOHN STEPHEN lIESTER, of Waltcn,
Pa., was married twenty-two years ago,
and that time his uncle gave him one sheep
and her two lambs. Ten years ago he
had raised over five hundred sheep from
that one sheep and now the number goes
largely over one thousand.
AGRICULTURAL.
ALL vegetables have an effect on the
chemistry of ttc body, so that we cannot
speak too highly of their importance at
table. Asparagus is o strong diuretic, sor
rel is cooliug. Carrots containing a quan
tity of sugar, are avoided by some people,
while others complain of them as indiges
tible. With regard to the latter accusa
tion, it may be remarked in passing, that
it is the yellow core of the carrot that is
difficult of digestiun—the outer red layer
is tender enough. The largo sweet onion
is very rich In thoee alaUue elements which
counteract the poison of rheumatic gout.
If slowly stowed in weak broth, aud oaten
with a little Nepau 1 pepper, it will bo
found to bo an admirable article of diet
for patientt of slucieus and sedentary
habits. The stalks of cauliflower have
the same sort of value, only too often the
stalk of a cauliflower is so ill-boiled aud
unpalatable that few persons would lhauk
you for proposing to them to make part of
their meal consist of so uninviting an arti
cle. Turnips in the same way, are oftou
thought to be indigestible, the fiult lies
with the cooa quite as much as with the
root. What shall bo said about our let
tuce? The plant has a slight narcotic ac
tion, of which a Kronen old woman, like a
French doctor, well knows the value, aud
when proi>erly ci/oked it is re.lly very easy
of digestion. But in our country, though
lettuces are duly growu in every garden,
you often hear the remark, "1 can't eat a
salad," ami as few ccoks know how Jo
use the vegetable which has been refused
in its raw state, the lettuces are all wasted
and so is the ground in which they were
grown.

Thousands of persons are constantly
troubled with a combination of diseases.
Diseased kidneys and costive bowels are

TKOKHI.K WITH BlTTEß. —Butter is one
of the most complicated products, its qual
ity depends upon a great variety of condi
tions —the cow, the food, the air of the
stable, the water, the imlk pails, pans, and
the place where the milk is set, besides
many other things. J jWhen cream becomes
covered with a sort of pimpios all over the
surface, with here and there yellowish or
reddish dots or spots upon it, it is attached
by a species of mildew or lungua, which
very soon spreads all through it. 'lhis
9poila the flivor of the buiter. f rom some
troublesome and careful experiments the
past winter the writer is conviuced that
this is caused by too much dampness iu the
aiilk-roout or cellar and the presence of
germs et mildew. The first was correc
ted by puttiug some fresh lime in the milk
room, which absorbed the excess of mois
ture, and by burning sulphur in it to dis
infect it and destroy the milder germs. By
burning sulphur, sulphurous acid is pro
duced, and this is a very active antiseptic
and destructive of all kinds of molds, mil
dews and ferments. It would also be well
to look closely to the water drauk by the
cows.
EASILY FROVKN. —It is easily proven that
malarial levers, constipation, torpidity of

nervousness, and neuralgic ailments yield
readily to this great disease conqueror,
Hop Bitters. It repairs the ravages of
disease by converting the food into rich
blood, and ii gives new life and vigor to
the aged and infirm always.
SHAPES IN PASTURES. —Ceitain writers
for agricultural periodicals indulge in va
rious things that have no merit whatever.
The subject which heads this paragraph
is one of them. We have seen in a dozen
publications one or more articles on the
necessity or expediency of having shade
for grazing stock ih pasture fields. In
agricultural matters generally our experi
ence has not been limited, and we cau say
that, so tar as we can now remember, we
never saw a pasture field without a shade,
and in which, at ceitain hours of the day,
the cattle were not screening themselves
from the sui's rays. The tree or trees ne
cessary to afford this protection to the poor
cattle is not a matter of any consideration
as a question ot expense, out is of much
consideration as a question of humanity.
No farmer with a heart any bigger than a
hickory nut would deprive his eattle of
proper shade in the midst of our scorching
summer days.

FEEDING troughs Tor poultry, properly
constructed, ovght to be generally substi
tuted for the wasteful practice of feeding
from the ground. The "reasons why" are
obvious. W here there is a scramble for
the food that is thrown helter-skelter, the
weak are prevented by the strong from
getting their share until the latter are satis
fied and the food is trampled in the dirt.
Ii is no advantage to the fowls to eat sand
dirt or gravel mixed with their food. The
gravel and other indigestible substances
necessary to the proper trituration of their
food in the gizzard can be given separate
ly, and should he. A simple trough may
be made, detendee by slats placed verti
cally, or on a convenient angle, with space
sufficient for the passage of the head, ihus
preventing the trampling and soiling of
the food, which will not be wasted, as in
the case where it is thrown carelessly on
the ground.
THOUSANDS SPEAK. —Vegetine is ac
knowledged and recommended by physi
cians and apothecaries to be the best puri
fier and cleanser of the blood yet discover
ed, and thousands sneak in its praise who
have been restored to health.
THE CURKANT. —The currant is an ex
celleat fruit aud should be grown more
extensively than at present. Many years
ago currants were grown in great abun
dance. There were few or no drawbacks
to their successful cultivatioh, lor the cur
rant worm was not then known. This pest
has done much bad work for a few years
past, but seems to be on the decline. For
the past two years we have been troubled
very little. The fruit is one of the most
agreeable, because of its acid, and can be
used in a variety of ways. It is excellent
for canning, preserving its flavor exceed
ingly well. One of the best varieties is
the Versaillaise. They can be readily
grown from cuttings. They should be
set early. Currant bushes thrive kettei on
a rich and rather moist soil.
Cows that have access to water at all
times will drink often, but little at a time,
and return to their feeding. Cows depriv
ed of a sufficient supply of water fail in
milk and flesh, and when they are allowed
to fail, it is almost impossible to bring
them back to their proper yield of milK
and condition of flesh, at least wituout
extra expense and trouble.

A NOTED BUT TTNTITX.KD WOMAN.
[From tho Boston Globe.]
Messrs. Editor*
The above la a good likeness of Mrs. Lydla E. Pink
ham, of Lynn, MASS., who above all other human beings
may be truthfully called the "Dear Friend of Woman,"
aa some of her correspondents love to call her. She
is aealously devoted to her work, which is the outcome
of a life-study, and is obliged to keep six lady
assistants, to help her answer the Urge correspondence
which daily pours in upon her, each bearing Its special
burden of suffering, or joy at release from it. Bur
Vegetable Compound Is a medicine for good and not
evil purposes. 1 have personally investigated it and
am satisfied of the truth of this.
On aooonnt of Its proven merits, it Is recommended
and prescribed by the best physicians In the counts?.
One says i "It works like a charm and saves much
pain. It will cure entirely the wont form of falling
of the uterus, Leucorrhcaa, Irregular and painful
Menstruation, all Ovarian Troubles, Inflammation and
Ulceration, Flooding*. all Displacements and the con
sequent spinal weakness, and Is especially adapted to
the Change of Life."
It permeates every portion of the system, and gives
new life and vigor. It removes falntuess, flatulency,
destroys all craving tor stimuUnts, and relieves weak
ness of the stomach. It cures Bloating, Headaches,
Nervous Prostration, General Debility, Sleeplessness,
Depression and Indigestion. That feeling of hearing
down, causing pain, weight and backache, is always
permanently cured by its use. It will at all times, and
under all circumstances, act in harmony with the Uw
that governs Uu* female system.
It costs only sl. per bottle or six for $5., and Is sold by
druggists. Any advice required as to special eases, and
the names of many who have been restored to perfect
health by the use of the Vegetable Compound, can be
obtained by addressing Mi a P., with stamp for reply,
at her home In Lyun, Masa
For Kidney Complaint of either sex this compound is
unsuriiasxcd as abundant testimonials show,
"Mrs. Pinkluun's Liver Pills," says one writer, "are
the best in the tnirhi for tho cure of Constipation,
Biliousness and Torpidity of the liver. Her Blood
Purifier works wonders in its special line and bids fair
to equal the Compound in its popularity.
All must respect her as an Angel of Mercy whose sols
Ambition is to do good to others.

ASTHMA
CURED.
* I lure had Asthma for 22 yean, suffering a
thousand deaths; have been so that 1 could
not go out for four months at a time, but sat
in a chair night and dav. I hare tried every
remedy I ever heard of, and spent thousands
of dollars in search of a cure; but all in
vain until I found Knigkft Asthma Cure.
That was in February last. My Asthma
had been unusually bad all winter. Si* bot
tles of this medicine have made me feel like
a new man. I call myself well. 1 have not
been oppressed (or breath all through this
trying spring, and can not express in words
wnat this wonderful remedy has done for
me."
8. Bradford, Arlington, Mass.
" I feel like thanking Mr. Knight for his ex
cellent Asthma Cure. It has done very
much to relieve me of a case of Asthma;
and, from my present improvement, I ex
pect so be under still greater obligations."
Pros't R. Heber Molbrook, of the National
Normal University, Lebanon, 0.
** I was severely afflicted with Asthma from
1865 to 1882; tried many remedies (so called*
and spent much money fn vain, seeking relief.
In February, 1882, I received the first bottle
of Knigkft Asthma Cure. 1 commenced to
improve at once, have had very few Asthma
symptoms since, and am now as free from
it as a person who never had it. I can say
with certainty ihs-t Knight's Asthma Curt
is the best yet discovered."
E. C. Weaver, Lawyer, 930 F St., Wash
ington, D. C.
" I have traveled north, east, and west, and
spent four years south in order to relieve
myse'f of this terrible disease, Asthma; ana.
until 1 received Knigkft Asthma Cure,
found no permanent relief. After taking this
medicine but a fortnight 1 obtained the
greatest relief, and can say I am now cured
entirely, and that my cure is considered al
most a miracle by my friends. You can re
fer to me at all tiroes."
Prof. 0. W. Hawxhursl, 12 Willow St,
Paterson, N. J.
•'My wife has found Knighfs Asthma Curt
a perfect success where all others have
?ireved a failure. Having been a great auf
erer from Asthma, and having taken so
much medicine for the disease without ob
taining any permanent benefit, she hesitated
to try any more. But she was induced to
try a bottle of Knighf t Cure, and from the
day she commenced taking it reeularfy she
has not had a single attack. This medicine
is a great blessing to suffering Asthmatics."
D. G. Drake, Supt. Schools, Mt. Washing
ton, O.
"I am over 00year* old, and have had the
Asthma over 35 years. Have tried many
r< medics, but obtained only temporary relief.
Knight * Asthma Curt ha* helped me more
than all others put together. Since I com
menced taking it, I rest well at night, and
the neighbors all say I look better than for
many year*."
