SOME BEAUTY ROUES.
SlMim fAttalalB Um4
. iMki ! V(rl Klaa.
To Get Tata. Est a great deal of
chopped meat without any potato In Ik
Drluk little fluid of any, kind except
strong tea. Exercise a great deal with
out drinking and do not eat bread, but
ter or candy. Lemonade, acid drinks
of alii kinds, and saline mineral waters
are excellent. Drink a glass of clear
water before breakfast.
To Get Fat. Eat vegetables and
sleep after each meal. Oo to bed at
r.ine o'clock and lie in bed half an hour
after yen rcake op. Laugh a ifrent deal.
Drink water by the pint or the quart if
yam can. Drink weak and sweet tea
with plenty of milk in it. Take cod
liver oil and sweet oils as much aa you
can. Eat until you feel aa if you would
burst at the table. Tut plenty of but
ter oa your bread, and do not be nfratd
of ales, lagers and sweet winea. This
will guarantee a gain of Ave pounds a
month, and. It you can sleep a great
deal, of double that amount. .
To Hate a White Skin. Eat no meat
at all. Become a vegetarian; they al
ways have a bewutlful skin. Once In
six weeks or so eat s meal of fresh meat.
Thla does away with the tendency to
scurvy the curse of the vegetarian.
Drink as much water as you can, eat
little grease, atad touch no tea or coffee.
Your breakfast may be oatmeal and
oranges; your dinner fruit, nuts, fruit
tea preferably quince tea graham
muffias, cauliflower croquettes, marma
lade and dishes of stewed vegetables.
The diet is not so bad when you get
used to It. In large towns you will
find one or two restaurants catering to
such sh you.
To Become Very Muscular. Walk n
great deal, carrying something always
in the hands. This develops the arms.
To roll a hoop might be good if one were
brave enough to do so in public. Prac
tice lifting a little every day. Never
strain or tire yourself. Eat meat, drink
milk, and practice bending backward,
forward and sideways erery day. At
night rub about a tablesnoonful of
brtndy or rum into your skin on the un
der and tender part of the arms.
To Have Plump Hands. Rub them
with sweet oil night and morning. 1.x
erclse themby rubbing together. Never
wear tight sleeves or small gloves.
To Keep One's Feet Small. This is
difficult. The first sign thnt one has
passed youth is the tendency to wear a
larger pair of shoes and this is neces
sary. The feet spread and really grow.
To remedy this wear shoes as long as
can be managed, but not as wide as
seem necessary. Never wear old slip
pers around the house, unless they are
snug In the width, end be careful of
corns. These are never necessary
while the chiropodist exists.
To Have a Fine Color. Wash the face
with the Juice of preserved strnwber
rles in the winter, and in summer rub a
ripe berry on the face.
For a Smooth, White Skin, Without
Dieting. natho the face dnily with but
termllk. A preparation of tincture of
benzoin and rose wnter Is excellent for
whitening purposes. There are very
good prepared creams, but thee are
never cheap. Do not go under a dollar
for them if you want them compounded
of tine and pure materials.
lo Have Ones Garments Sweet
Roentnd. Make sachet bags nnd slip
them in the linings of drrtiie. They
win. it good at first, keep their scent
for n year or more. Fold the bodices of
the scented gowns and lay them ownr
hi air-tight boxes. This fills them with
scent. Philadelphia Times.
ENGLISH STUFFINGS.

Kot Fonnd la the Cook llookn.
Here is a recipe for turkey nnd chick
en xtufllngwhichlhciienders.iys is very
different in its results from those given
In the cook books:
Crumble or grate the Inside of a stale
loaf or more of bakers' bread. Add pep
per and salt, the grated rind of a lemon,
and to one lonf half the juice, to two
loaves all of It; a little grated nutmeg,
a handful each of finely cut parsley
leaves and Hue white celery leaves;
thyme, aweet marjoram and summer
savory, using tbo leaves in preference
to the ground, and twice the quantity
of thyme as of the marjoram or savory.
Mix oil together dry and fill the crops,
putting all the remainder Into the
bodies of the fowls. As the filling is be
ing done, odd smaU pieces of good but
ter, which, together with the proper
basting, will give the dressing suffi
cient moisture.
Thla dressing is also excellent for
roast leg of porkwben you do not want
to simulate duck or goose with it.
"The recipe for the good old English
stuffing for ducks or geese," the sender
adds, "I never see In our cook books,
and do not find it used upon my neigh
bors' tables. People spoil these birds
with soft bread and muss."
This is the old recipe for stuffing for
geese, ducks, or a leg of pork:
Take equal parts of parboiled pota
toes cut 4nto inch-square cubes, and
onions cut up. Strain dry, add pepper
end salt snd sage leaves crushed up.
Prepare enough of the mixture to fill
the birds or pork with It and to ky some
of It under them In the roasting pan.
Keep this extrs filling under ttie birds.
Dish it separately, and serve it st the
table wfth tbc rest. N.Y. Sun.
Oat Uaaaa.
Separate two eggs, beat the yolks and
add half a pint of milk, half a cup of
finely-chopped dates, a enp and a half
of whole wheat flour, a tablespoonful
of melted butter and beat thoroughly t
add one teaspoonful of baking powder
and then stir In the well-beaten whites
of the eggs. Bake In hot, greased gem
pans In a quick oven for 10 minutes.

"It Is prat t y well known to those who
liave Informed themselves on the sub
ject that Miij. L'Enfunt, a French en
gineer, laid out the plans of Welling
ton," said a leading phyaiclnn, who
has given agroutdeu! of intention to a
study of the mrly hiKtory of that city,
"and Andrew Kllicott wus employed to
complete the work, the big property
owners of the duy being combined
Buuinst L'Knfnnt for the reason that
some of the lines laid down by him
ran Into their property, ns they un
derstood to the injury thereof, anil that
Kllicott did tlirish it. His nut generally

Md. His remains nSu in the cemetery

he was the first colored man todistin
guiHh himself n a mathematician and
civil engiireer In the history of this
country. He possessed a wonderful gen
ius for mnthomatics and the exact
sciences, nnd long Wfore he hnd gained
a prominence as it civil engineer was
the Author of an almnuac, which rnnked
as standard nuthority.
"Among others w-ho were attracted
by it wns Thomiut Jefferson, who free
ly admitted thnt the work of Itnneker
deferred and commanded his praise.
Tlaneker waw CO years of nge when he
ran the lines for the city of Washington.
He is deacribed as a fine-looking speci
men of a man, very distinguished In
appearance, hnvlng a head and suit of
white hnlr not unlike In general ap
pearance to the lnte Frederick Doug
lass, He wore a drab coat of superfine
broadcloth and a Qunker hat, with a
broaxl brim. It is not known exactly
how much was paid to Danekrr for bis
services, for engineers in thofce days
did not command the salaries of the
present times. Ellioott himself only re
ceived Ave dollars per day and expenses
for his services, which, the records
show, Jefferson thought too much. In
the letter to Muj. I.'Enfnnt relieving
him of the work, President Jefferson
states: 'Klicott la to go on to finish lay
ing off the plivn on the ground and sur

cess of five dollars per day and his ex
pense), and he has proosrd striking

stances It la not probable that Dnneker
wtls paid much, notwithstanding the
value of bis services. Kllicott was but
a lititle over half the age of bis assist
ant. Daneker, and he bad the greatest
confidence In him, depending ou him to
