HOW TO BE
This Recipe Cannol

St. Louis
"Six cuneos of oil,' three ounces of
rose water, a teaspoonful of borax,"
and so on and so on and so on, read
the girl with her brows puckered up
in a frown. The writer of the recipe
for "a beautiful complexion" sug
gested that this prescription might be
compounded ac "the nearest drug
store" as it was "very simple."
Now, I do believe in rubbing wrin
kles out whenever one can, for there
are a lot of little lines th'.it taking
care will keep away from che corners
of one's eyes, but "an ounce of pre
vention" has always been and always
will be "worth a pound of eure." It
is better, and really a pleasanter task,
to keep the lines away from one's faoe
than to chase them away-or to spend
vain hours in trying to-with cos
metics, after they have como and set
tied themselves.
But beauty does not depend alone
upon the absence of wrinkles. It de
pends upon the pleasant voice, tho
attentive ear, the sympathetic and
understanding glapoe of tho oyo.
Beauty of face and form is indeed ?
blessing to either mao or woman, but
Dame Nature is rather economical in
her bestowal of ouch delightful gifts,
and it is left to tho most of us poor
mortals to do our best to make up to
the world in general for her negleot Of
us by turning "beauty onlturists,"
not BO much in the art of skillfully
applying cosmetios, but in the wider
sense-the sense that embraces
thoughtfulness, and honesty of pur
pose, and good health and content
ment.
I am always sorry /or the "ugly
duckling" of a family-for a time
only, however. I have so often seen
the little "ugly dookling" blossom
bot into such a charming woman that
the next 4'ugly dookling" I chance
upon I shall regard her as a very
promising person, and if she comes to
me and sighs-aa sometimes "ugly
ducklings" will-because her sisters
are so much more beautiful than she
is, I shall just comfort herby relating
tbs happy stories ot other "ugly
ducklings" that I have known.
"Be good, and you will bo beauti
ful" is rather ft tiresome bit bf phi
losophy, I know, and ? will admit sr hat
in many caseB, though faithfully tried;
its outcome is not altogether satis
factory. I - would rather say to the
"ugly duokling": "Be good, live up
to the very best that is in you and
you will be loved." And can beauty
win anything better than love?
. Health and beauty aie very close
companions, the first part of my recipe
would run like this: "Try very,
very hard to be healthy." Fresh
air, sufficient sleep, wholesome food
and enough of it, pure water and a
contented disposition will do moire for
the person of naturally delicate con
stitution* than mixtures of drugs that
even the wisest doctor could think of.
I have the word of your family physi
cian for thc truth of this,: that I have
written.
When womenfolks aro left alone at
home there ia a vacation ' in the
kitchen. The cook may go ont and
spend the day if she wishes. "Toast
and tea and an egg" may be the bill
of fare for dinner. If tho one who
has dined thus awakens next morning
with a headache she wonders why,
and as. it is a "perfect bother io eat
breakfast, anyway." breakfast is left
uneaten. As the day weirs * on there
is a "tired look" about her eyes and
she resorts to massage because she
must "look fresh" for the musical in
the evening. But massage fails to do
the work in this case.
Tho busy woman snatches a hasty
luncheon or goes all day without any
if her work is in a tangled condition.
In a little, timo she comes to wonder
why sho cannot devote as many hours
to her duties as she used.to without
feeling unutterably weary- Her good
looks are vanishing and her eyes/
that used to be spoken of as bright,
look dull enough' when she contem
plates her reflection in her mirror.
The busy woman makes too many
I sacrifi?es- You rho think her selfish
morely do not know her. ' At home,
her essi?crt ib seldom considered liko
that of the buoy man. No one thinks
of doing her mending-because she is
a woman. In the office Rho can snatoh
any time that she can to cat a bit of a
sandwich-because, she . is a woman.
Because she is a woman her salary
bnt I shall not discuss vhat question.
There are too many clever men ar
rayed against mc, and you, who rather
resent the "becanse-ahe-is-a-woinas"
!argument in business when it cornee"'
to tho scalo of wages. I haven't to
do with tho Adjustment of those
things-why, bless you! I am only
giving a little -'beauty talk."
BEAUTIFUL.

Store."
Republic.
Of course, the most of ss are will
ing to forgive beauty many things.
For a time, ab least, we do not mind
if the truly beautiful woman is a bit
selfish and self-trilled. It is born in
the heart of man and woman to pay
tribute to bea?ty. But only for a
time, I say, are ye willing to saorifice
for beauty's sa* J alone. Yes, I have
quite come to the conclusion beauty
needs something more than a smooth
brow, bright eyes, a perfect little
mouth and nose to sustain it aid
make it "a joy forever."
George Sand has put 'into weirds
this, which many of us have also come
to know is true: "The beauty that
addresses itself to the eyes is only the
spell of the moment; the eye of the
body is not always that of the soul.*'
Here is an ancient prayer that the
beauty-seeker may pray: "O beloved
Pan, and all ye other gods of thia
plaoe, grant me to become beautiful
io the inner man*"
Physical beanty is'greatly depen
dent upon common sense. Common
{sense will not change a feature, to be
euro, or make ooo's stature taller or
shorter, but it will, if applied to excr*
oise and daily habits; bring about
round and. pink cheeks, an easy and
graceful carriage and a general im
provement in one's appearance. Com
mon sens? brought to bear will make
one's troubles less burdensome, if it
does not drive them away entirely.
Somebody has said that "life is never
as good as wo hope, but never as bad
as we fear." Beoall this when you
are greatly worried, and if the thought
does not afford a certain amount of
comfort, then you haven't a grain of
philosophy in your make-up, which is
a sorry thing for you and your friends.
Worry is a great foe to beauty. Not
the sensible and reasonable reekoning
of things and careful planning about
ways and means, but the grieving
over what cannot be helped and the
foolish fearing of what may happen.
If yon thisk tho "don't worry'' advice
is foolish, put it to the test. I am
quite certain you will be surprised
when you find how well it works in
many C?SSS.
If you would be beautiful-this ia
the second ingredient-of my recipe
do not be envious or spiteful. All
the wealth and talent in the world
will fail to gain you that plaoe in the
hearts of your friends or secure for
you the share of admiration that
might be yourjB if your wealth and
talents were only cc QI led with kindly
, traits, j I? ? woman a gentle disposi
tion counts for so very, very much.
It really helps to beautify.
j
Clothes, as a matter of tact, cannot
be overlooked, or should not be over
lo oded, by the seeker after beauty.
It ia well for a woman to wear a gown
out ia a becoming fashion, and of a be
coming, color. It ia well to be "well
groomed."
Tho tnirdpart of my beanty recipe,
therefore, calls for a good amount of
"grooming." The prettiest woman
imaginable cannot be attractive with
a dowdy bodice, hair that is not
brushed and a complexion that shows
neglect only too plainly.
Then, to be beautiful I would sug
gest the cultivation of a kindly dispo
sition, a determination not to worry
ever anything that cannot be cured by
worry, and a liberal application of
soap and water and frequent doses of
fresh air and exercise. Cosmetics
oh, yes, cosmetics are good in their
plaoe, but their place conies after and
not before my reolpe.

The Bravest Battle.
Tho bravest battle that ever was i
fought: (
Shall I tell you where and when? ]
Cn the maps of the world you will find j
it not;
'Twas fought by the mothers of men. 1
Nay, not a cannon nor battle shot, ,
With sword or nobler pen;
Nay, not with eloquent words or '
thought, I
From mouths of wonderful men.
But deep in a walled-up woman's '
heart
0? wemen that would not yield,
But bravely, silently, ?Sore her part
Lo! there is that battlefield.
No marching troops, no bivouac song.
No banner to gleam and wave;
But ol)!, these battles, they last so long,
From babyhood to the grave.
Yet faithful still as a bridge of stars,
She fights in her walled-up town
Fights on and on in the endless wars,
Then silent, unseen-goes down.
O, ye with banners and battle shot,
And soldiers to shout and praise,
I tell yon the kingliest victories fought
Were fought in these silent ways.
O, spotless woman ina world of shame!
With a splendid and silent acorn,
Go back to ?ort as white as yon came,
The kingliest warrior born! ~~

The Emotions are Sculptors.
Every omotion tends to sculpture
the body into beauty or into ugliness.
Worrying, fretting, unbridled pas
sions, petulance, disoontent, every
dishonest act, every falsehood, every
feeling of envy, jealousy, fear-each
has its effect on the system, and nets
deleteriously like a poison or a de
former of the body. Professor James,
of Harvard, an expert in the mental
sciences, says: "Every small stroke of
virtue or vice leaves its ever so little
scar. Nothing we ever do is, in strict
literalness, wiped out." We look with
pity and distrust upon the man who
vitiates his vitality, pollutes and ruins
his body by alcohol, while we our
selves m a y be changing our bodies into
hideous forms hy what seem to be in
nocent bins. A fit of anger may work a
greater damage to the body and char
acter than a drunken bout. Hatred
may leave worse soars upon a clean
life than the bottle. Jealousy, envy,
uncontrolled grief may do more to
wreck tho physical life than years of
smoking. Anxiety, fretting, and
scolding, may instill a more subtle
poison into the system than the cigar
ette.
The Mother of Scientific Temperance
4 S?seattOn.
At the present time every State in
the Americas Uuion, excepting two,
bas adopted laws requiring the study
cf scviutiOo temperance in the public
schools. This is the result of a long
sustained agitation inaugurated by a
woman, Mary H. Hunt, of Massachu
setts.
It was an early conviction with Mrs.
Hunt that ?he success of the temper
ance reform depended upon the edu
cation of successive generations as to
the real nature and physiological ef
fects of alcoholic beverages. To this
task she consecrated her life. A
sympathetic chairman of she Board of
Education told her that he could only
enforce tho teaching of what the law
required. The plucky woman with
ready wit noted on the hint In the
absence of a suitable text-book, she
engaged Miss Coleman to prepare for
her the work on alcohol and hygiene
now used in intermediate schools, and
then, with the backing of the local
branches of the Union, be^aa Urging
on Governors and State Legislators
the enactment of a law requiring
the new study, with the result above
stated._ _ ?_

The ancients believed that rheuma

Charlotte Cordey.
There is, ie my opinion, no woman in
history who deserves more honor and
everence than Charlotte Corday.
Che very name is suggestive of nobil
ty and patriotism, the ideal of which
vas reached in this martyred heroine
>f France. She was born at Seez, in
Normandy, in the year 1768, but very
little is known of her life until she
reaohed the age of about twenty-five.
The condition of France at that
time was terrible. Louis XV had
lied, and his kingdom waa left to his
grandson. Louis XVI., who was
married to the beautiful Antoinette.
But they were entirely too young and
inexperienced to manage a kingdom
10 such a turmoil as was France at
that time.
The country was at war with Eng
land; the finances' had run very low;
and besides all this, France was on
tho very verge of the most terrible
war known in history. The king did
not know what to do, and to mako
affairs still worse, the commons form
ed themselves into the "National As
sembly." This assembly wished to
meet in tho regular hall used for such
purposes, but this being refused they
went to the "tennis court" of tho
royal palace, where they swore a sol
emn oath not to dissolve until they
had formed a constitution for Franco
and had "?owned" the king.
At the head of this assembly were
three of the most despicable characters
in history-Robespierre, Danton and
Marat. These three led the common
people on to the most horrible erimes
>n record. After executing their
i overo i gn and his queen, they began
urith still moro zeal the terrible work
?f massaorcing all wbo opposed them.
No man's life was safe for a day,
?ut at last when the lover of Char
otto Corday was foully murdered by
tn accomplice of Marat, Charlotte
letermiaed to be revenged upon the
bree villains, Robespierre, Danton
md Marat, but she could not decide
rhetber it would be better for her
ono try io be freed of Marat or Rob es -
dorre.
Finally, after Marat had ordered tho
ixeoution of thousands of innoocnt
oen end woman, her high sense of
usticc oould contain itself no longer;
o she at once made her way to Paris
.a May 3, 1793; with the express pur
)08e of assassinating the oruel oppres
or of her people.
Twice she was refused admittance
o the house of Marat, but finally she
er?te to him as follows: \
"Citizen: I have just oome from
3aen. Grsst me ss interview for a
noment; I have important discoveries
o make to you."
She was then given admission, and
ihe went with a dagger in her bosom,
is she entered the house she met him
?omisg from the bath, and seizing
bis as the best opportunity she plung
ed the dagger in his breast, and he
lied immediately.
Some may oall the letter written by
Charlotte to Marat a deception, but it
??s not. She did have "important
lisooveries to make" to him, but he
lid not find them ont until, by the
thrust of her sagger, she hurled him
>efore the awful judgment throne of
lis Maker, there to discover that be
ere that high tribunal his deeds were
iousidered vile and unworthy of aman
o whom God had given a soul. She
lid lead him to discover that ho who
lad so ruthlessly sent so many inno
cent victims to eternity, would in the
inal judgment reoeive his "just
?compense of reward!" Her motives
vere of the grandest, and her exe
rtion of those motives the most com
pete.
Scarcely had the blood dried npon
he dagger before ehe. young maiden
ras captured and carried to Abbaye,
rhere she was tried and condemned.
Hie day before her trial she said:
'To-morrow my trial begins, and I
lope the same day to meet with Bru
ns, and other pattiots in Elysium."
$he was calm and dignified.. She
dmitted the crime and wished no d?
codant.
On July 17, 1793, she was led to
he scaffold, and with a smile on her
leautiful faoe died-died for her
ountry ns nobly as evec soldier died
m the field of battle, and as grandly
.s Polycarp died at the stake.
Heroism does not belong to man
loue, and valor is not his charrcteris
ic alone, nor patriotism his attribute
lone, for no mau has ever died or will
ver die more nobly thandid Charlotte
Jordoy!-Carrie Weaver Smit?tt in At
ania Journal.

Star Distances.
Probably you know that the staTS
aro sans, and that they look like mere
shining points of light bcoause they
aro so far away. The nearest is so
far that a cannon shot fired in Adam's
timo from tho Garden of Eden, and
flying continually with undiminished
speed, would even now hardly have
started on its journey. It would be
as if a train bound for another town
had just pulled well out of the sta
tion.
On a similar evening you may seo
Aroturus high up in the south or
southwest in June or July, and farther
down in the west in August or Sep
tember. You will know it by its red
color. That star has been flying
straight ahead ever since astronomers
began to observe it, at such a speed
that it would run from New York to
Chicago in a small fraction of a min
ute. You would have to bo spry to
rise from your chair, put on your hat
and overcoat and gloves and go out on
the street while it was crossing thc
Atlantic ocean from New York to
Liverpool. And yet if you should
watch that star all your life, and live
as long as Mcthusaleh, you would not
be able to see that it moved at all.
The journey it would make in a thou
sand years would be as nothing along
side its distance.
Many, perhaps most, of the stars
are really much larger and brighter
than the sun. Canopus, as it appears j
to us, is the aeoond, brightest star in ?
the heavens. It never rises in our
northern latitudes; to see it well you
would have to go at leapt as far south
as the gulf States. Although it shines
to us only as a very bright star, it is
really thousands of timos as bright as
the snn, and yet so far away that we
do not see themas very bright stars.
There are now abont sixty stars of
whose distance astronomers have been
able to get some idea. The distances
of a few of the nearest of these have
been measured with some approach to
exaotness, but the farther a star is,
the harder it beoomes to seoure exact
ness in ouch measurements. But
astronomers are always tryiug to im
prove their instruments, and every
year they are finding out more and
more about thc arrangement of the
stars.
Perhaps before the twentieth cen
tury shall be half gone they will know
how far off the milky way is-some
thing they have as yet no ccrtaiu way
of learning.-Professor Simon New
comb in The Youth's Companion.
