MAY BE BEAUTtt-tiL AT FORTY j Woman's Complexion and Figaro Can 1 Bo Prooorvod by Proper Diet Women should be specially carefu' to choose the right diet. For th< take of her beauty, if nothing else, a woman should choose the right J amount of nutritive foods, and avoid the temptations of overeat ing. Coarser bread, more fruit, less meat and especially moderation, or total abstinence, in the use of tea and coffee I will secure relief from the all too re- , tarded action of the digestive organ? < which is the curse of so many women ; who lead sedentary lives. No woman who eats properly and gets plenty oi ' fresh air and exercise will have a J poor complexion nor get too fat: nei- j ther will she suffer from nerves and hysteria. The woman who lives right, think? 1 right and works, right may be more ] beautiful at forty or sixty than at ! twenty, and the prescrvation of the ' divine gift of beauty is a duty that no woman should neglect for her own sake and the sake of the world about her.?Woman's Home Com- ; pnnion. j J TROOPS GUARD HOLY CARPET ! Bedouin Tribes of llo Desert Would Like to Steal the Sacred Islam Object. As is well known to Mohamme- < dans, but to few Ihiropeans, the 1 1 1 Holy Carpet always travels with an escort to and from the holy cities of i Medina and Mecca. This escort eon- | , sists of H00 to men of one of tlie 1 , Egyptian infantry regiments with1; two small field pieces ami two quick- j j firing guns, and about forty mount- j i od men, together with fheir horses. J The object of such a Htrong escort j, is to protect the sacred object from I! falling into the hands of the Bedouin tribes, through whose countries it must, pass at various stages of its iourncv and who nm nlsn on tho lookout for it, as the carpet is worth a fine ransom. Desperate attacks arc not in frequently made upon the Holy Carpet hy the Bedouiins of the desert. Hence the strength of the escort.?Egyptian Gazette. ( ^ JAPAN'S OLD FOLK.

BURMS6E SUPERSTITION. A curious idi a among tho Burmesc ia that people Iwirn on the same day of the week must not marrv, Hid that if they defy the fates their union will he marked by much illluck. To prevent these disastrous marriages, ever)' girl carries a record of her birthday in her name, each day of the week having a letter belonging to it, and all children are called by a name which begins with that letter. It is rather hard if the lfaiys and Marks of Burma fall in love with each other as in this country. Unlike other Oriental lands, the young people are allowed to marry as taste dictates, subject only to the birthday restrictions. TAME. "George has told me all tho secrets of his past." "Mercy!
