^SSl. GMIHU WODNTO Dsaatlfy the Oiniiniw, ;5 Efcnadoa KrtwagM The Egyptian princosses were re- aowndd for their beauty above *11 the women of the earth, from the «oM reoords down to Cleopatra'* time. "A* women in the world erer hMsueti com­ plexions or such skins, and there is nothing in the world to-day to compare with the skins of the mammies of women taken from the tombs. This distinction lasted over a period of 8,000 years, and was commonly attributed to the "bath of Isis," which was preserved for them with such zealous care; hut it Was really more owing to inheritance and the climate, united to perfect health and phenomenal cleanliness, than to the lotion. There never was any secret about its components. It was made from lotus water and the adi- pooeTe of * rabbit. The trouble was to get the adipocere. None but the Mem- phian and Baiaan priests knew how to convert the dead rabbit into adipocere. This secret they kept, and to this day it • is not known how they did it, although there are a dozen ways now by which it eata be done. The lotus water was made by distillation, as rose water is now made, and was in as common use among the Egyptian women as rose wa­ ter is with the American- The adi­ pocere was prepared in some way by which the sacoharized cil was extracted, making it identical with our glycerine, by removing tlje waxy portion of the fatty matter. Cheops ruined himself by building his pyramid. His daughter then demanded from each one of her lovers the present of a single stone, and with those given her by them she built the middle pyramid of the three facing her father's. She had over fif­ teen thousand lovers. The priests of Memphis for this reason refused to grant any of the sacred "bath of Isis" to her, and one of her lovers, who was a priest, revealed the seereyfc the prepa­ ration of the adipocere. This secret may have passed down in her family, but must soon have been lost, for they couldn't get the adipocere to pre­ pare. If the bath was used by any of the Byzantine empresses, they probably used the adipocere known to them, which was not of rabbits, but of human beings and horses. It could not have ; been of very good quality, as it would have been unrefined and mixed with lotus water in the waxy state. Liebig took the trouble to verify it, to settle the disputes about the translations. Lotus water is easy enough to get, as it is a regular preparation in the East for tile skin,corresponding to Florida water and bay rum with us. " He took the trouble to make the bath first with rab­ bit adipocere, and then with the refined product of sweet oil; so that he ob­ tained the identical "bath of Isis." He gave it to his friendB to experiment With, and they found the former good and the latter excellent. He afterward made it from our rose water and glycerine, and this was much better than either of the others. The propor­ tions vary. To keep the skin soft one- third of glycerine to two-thirds of rose water, and this was probably the pro­ portions in the "bath of Isis," and its symbol was thus divided; but Liebig's experiments showed that half-and-half Were about the proper proportions When bringing the skin into condition. Sixpenny worth lasts a month--three­ penny worth of the rose water of com­ merce (made from four drops of rose oil to an ounce of distilled water) and threepenny worth of the ordinary glycerine; but by using the genuine rose water, made by distillation and - the chemically pure glycerine obtained hy a second refining--which cannot be had at every druggist's--you will get a much better article than the "bath of Isis" ever was. This lotion is alluded to in the oldest book in the world, now in the National Library in Paris--I mean the one written by Prince Hotep, and taken from his coffin after it had lain beside him for over five thousand eight hundred years. The reason why Our women have bad skins is because they are not cleanly. The Egyptians Were the healthiest people ever known, and this was because they were the oleanest. The woman who took only one bath a day would have been looked .upon as we regard one who washes but once a year. Linen was never worn the second time without washing. The princesses bathed in diluted lotus water many times daily, and night and morning used the "bath of Isis;" they had a regular day each Week for medical treatment, and with all Egyptian women, devoted three days in each month to medicines to keep clean the inside as well as the out aide of their bodies; so that had there bean no "baths of Isis" they would not have failed to have beautiful complex­ ions. This "bath" merely gave their akin the satin touch and velvet softness Their perfect health did the rest. With perfect health alone, their hide might have been as rough and coarse as that of a hippopotamus, but no "bath" ever made will bleach the yellow face : of a person suffering from jaundice, or remove the pimples that come from constitutional weakness and thejnreak- tog up of cellular tissue. r Qeology as a Study for Girls. , I wish to make here a note based fijpon my personal observation. The gist of it is that girls and ladies possess a very decided relish for the study of geology and aptitude in acquiring the elements of the science. I ought to add that women of all ages have been the most enthusiastic readers and students of the subject in all cases where I have had personal cognizance of the direction pf attention to it. In my university work I find young ladies quite as en­ thusiastic as young men, and quite as successful in acquiring exact and sub­ stantial knowledge. Why should they Hot? If powers of observation are needed, the girl equals the boy as truly fn the inspection of minerals, rocks, and fossils as in the determination of a specimen from the vegetable kingdom. If imagination is demanded; the girl notoriously possesses as ready a gift as as the boy. In the reasoning processes Of generalization if the majority of girls •re not so apt as the other sex, many of them are equal, and all have aptitude 'sufficient for the fundamental principles of the science. To say the least, among my own pupils during twenty-five years past the sterner sex have seen little Opportunity to boast over their sisters. I must add that more than once my ad­ miration and wonder have been excited tjy the devotion, the fidelity, the en­ thusiasm, and real success with which individual girls and women, guided by Some unexpected incentive, have taken Ssingly the study of bowlders or fos-i, and made acquisition of a fair stock Of elementary geology. Does any one • ask, what is the use of gology to women ? I will simply answer, the sa me use of any other knowledge.

The Oldest Baa en Earth. James James, a negro and citizen qf the United States, who restdaa at Santa Bpsa, Mexico, is probably the oldest man on earth. EEs was born near Dor- ehe*ter, £L C., in 1753, and while an infant was removed to Medway Biver, Ga., in the same year that Franklin brought down electricity from the thunder clouds. In 1772 there was quite an immigration into South Caro­ lina and his master, James James (from whom he takes his name) moved near Charleston, S. C., in company with a number of his neighbors. On June 4, 1776, when 24 years of age, a large British fleet, under Sir Peter Parker, arrived off Charleston. The citizens had erected a palmetto-wood fort on Sullivan's Island, with twenty-six guns, manned by 500 troops, under CoL Moul­ trie, and on June 28, the British made an attack by land and water, and were compelled to withdraw after a ten- hours' conflict. It was during this fight that Sergeant Jasper distinguished himself by replacing the flag, which had been shot away upon the bastion, on a new staff. His master, James James, manned one of the guns in this fight, and Jim, with four other slaves, were employed around the fort as gen­ eral laborers. Jim followed his master throughout the war, and was with Gen. Moultrie at Port Royal, S. C., Feb. 8, 1779, when Moultrie defeated the com­ bined British forces of Provost and Campbell. His master was surren­ dered by Gen. Lincoln at Charleston, S. C., on Feb. 12, 1780, to the British forces, and this ends Jim's military career. He remembers of the rejoicing in 1792 throughout the country in oonsequence of Washington's election to the Presi­ dency, he then being 40 years of age. In this year his first master died, aged about 60 years. Jim then became the property of "Marse Henry" (Henry James), owning large estates and about thirty slaves, near Charleston. On ac­ count of having raised "Marse Henry" Jim was a special favorite with his mas­ ter and was allowed to do as he chose. His second master, Henry died in 1815, about 55 years of age, and Jim, now at 63 years of age, became the property of James James, Henry's second son. In 1883 the railroad from Charleston to Savannah was completed, then the longest railroad in the world, and Jim, with his master, took a trip over the road, and was shown special favors on account of his age, now 81. James James was 10 years of age at his father's death, and when he became of age in­ herited large estates, slaves, etc., among whom were "old Uncle Jim" and his family. James James lived in South Carolina until 1855, when he moved to Texas with all his slaves. Jamas de­ sired that his slaves should be free at his death, and in 1858 moved into Mexico, so that they could be free be­ fore his death. James returned to the United States and died in Texas, and in 1865, after there was no longer slaves in the United States, Uncle Jim's children and grandchildren returned to the United States. Five years ago, at the age of 130, Jim could do light chores, but subsisted mostly by contri­ butions from the citizens, but for the past two years, not being able to walk, he remains for the most part in his little jacal, his wants being supplied by generous neighbors. The rheuma­ tism in his legs prevents him from walking, but yet he has sufficient strength in his arms to drag himself a short distance--fifty yards or more.-- St. Louis Globe-Democrat. -SSBHt:»xBuarPOOR*, Beatoa,in the mndt mum in .849, as to the Why He' Left. One oK the most trying situations in this vale of tears is that of the guest of a summer hotel, when he is very anxious to make a change but does not know exactly how to do so without of­ fending the proprietor. If he tell that indignitary that the chops are always fried, he will be in­ formed that they will be thereafter broiled. If he complain that the waiter is impertinent, he is informed that that child of independence will be changed for another who is polite. Many a man keeps on staying at a place because he doesn't know how to get out pleasantly and gracefully. An Irishman was staying at a resort where people spent most of their time changing their clothes, to see who could make the mo3t varied display. He became disgusted, and made up his mind to leave, not only on this acoount, but because he never got pig's snout and cabbage for dinner, and the or­ chestra frequently played English airs that were extremely offensive to him. But he did not care to complain to the proprietor, because he knew he would be talked into remaining in spite of himself; so he went into the bar­ room and braced his courage up with the cup that both cheers and inebriates. Then he walked up to the proprietor and struck him without a word of war­ ning, and continued to strike and kick him until he was insensible. "Take that!" he said, when he was through; and then he packed up and left without being arrested. ""What was the matther V" asked the stagedriver, when they had gone a mile or so, and the Irishman had cooled down a little. "F wat was the matther 7 Fwat was the matther?" replied the Irishman. "A good deal was the matther, and that's foi I lift 1" "But why did yon leave?" persisted the stagedriver. "Foi did I lave, is it| yeraskin'? It's jist for this that I laved. It's because I couldn't get along pacefully, and I niver shtop at a place where I can't shtop pacefully without getting in a foight with the proprietor; that's foi 1" --Fuck. Wonderfal Chimney. A chimney only six feet high, built in common lime mortar, oscillated to an alarming degree. Consequently the chimney was loaded by putting on the top an iron plate weighing upward of 250 pounds. The oure was perfect. Although the stack is built in an ex­ posed situation, it has stood for sixteen years, during which many severe storms have tried its strength, yet it does not show any horizontal or vertical cracks. Similar results are recorded in connec­ tion with the construction of a mill at Mullfort, near Eheydt Here a mill- owner found it necessary to heighten a building by two stories without inter­ rupting work in the factory below. The constant vibration caused by the machinery, however, destroyed thr walls as fast as the bricks were laid. To check this effect the walls were heavily loaded with iron rails as fast Oi- the cement would bear them, and by this means the additional height was safely reached, the vibration of the- walls being eomplately stopped.--En­ gineering* meaning of aninBe f̂tiim on a pair of silver wine-coolers, presented by Mrs. Harrison Gray Otk to the landlords of the Tremont House, whale she had boarded the preriona winter.* It fan thus; . a. a. a ' Ito him that hath shall b« given; ftufi htm that hatb aot stall be tektn away even that which This quotation was thus interpreted: When H. G. Otis died, some months before, and left a large estate, his daughter-in-law, who had been led to expect a generous legacy, received nothing but these wine-coolers, so she said that as H. G. O. had thought best to shower his wealth on those that had enough before, she preferred that the trifles he had bequeated her should be taken away, as they only reminded her of a cruel neglect This interpretation was not exactly correct, as Mrs. Otis did not oomplain because she (the widow of H. G. O.'s eldest son) was disinherited, but she did assert that her father-in-law prevailed on her, much against her judgment, to refrain, some years previously, from selling a large amount of Taunton manufacturing stock, whioh constituted the bulk of her private fortune, as it would have impaired the market value of the stock. He then quietly sold out his own shares, the company broke, Mrs. Otis lost what she had, and her husband's brothers, already rich, received their father's large estate. Public sympa­ thy was, of course, enlisted in behalf of the despoiled widow, whose hospitality and goodness of heart had ever been proverbial. Mrs. Gerry was a daughter of the venerable Charles Thompson, Secre­ tary of the Revolutionary Congress. She was one of the most elegant and accomplished ladies of her day. Trained up amidst the scenes of the Revolution, she possessed all the en­ ergy and firmness of those times. Dur­ ing her husband's absence as Ambassa­ dor to France, her house was entered by a burglar, when, animated with a true courage, she seized a pistol and encountered him; he fled before her, jumped from a window, broke his leg, and was taken. Her brother, who had been in the service of the British East India Company, left her a handsome fortune. I came across, a few days since, a letter written from Washington in January, 1819, by the Hon. Elijah H. Mills, then a Senator from Massachu­ setts. He then wrote: "Yesterday I dined with the French Minister in % party consisting of about twenty or twenty-five, mostly members of Con­ gress. The dinner was in true French style, everything so disguised and transformed that no one knew what to ask for, or what was before him; whether ham or jelly, mutton chop or pudding, no one could tell until he had put his knife into the dish. The first course consisted almost entirely of cold meats, in various forms, pickled, hashed, and minced, as well as whole. Turkeys without bones, and puddings in the form of fowls, fresh cod disguised like a salad and celery like oysters, all served to excite the wonder and amaze­ ment of the guests. It reminded me of an anecdote told by Horace Walpole when giving an account of a dinner of a great man at which he was present. He said: 'Everything was cold but the water, and everything was sour but the vinegar.' Excepting, however, the perplexity of finding out what was upon the table, I had a very pleasant time. Mr. and Mrs. de Neuville are deoidedly the most pleasant and the most popular of the foreigners residing here. Pleas­ ant and affable in their deportment, they take great pains to please, and to avoid the ceremony and cold politeness which distinguish almost all the inter­ course which takes place hore. Al­ though of a frivolous nation, they both seem very considerate and sufficiently grave, and have much less of frivolity than the other ministers resident here. Their kindness sterns unaffected, and their piety, it is said, is equally so. In the evening there was an immense crowd of ladies and gentlemen, their house being open for that purpose every Saturday evening. The usual insipid interchange of idle questions and needless replies, gazing, lounging, card-playing, and dancing occupied the various groups, as fancy or caprice might dictate, and the evening closed with a waltz by the daughters of the Spanish Minister and a few others, mostly foreigners." Tom Corwin used to tell in his inimitable way a story about a Mr. Jones, who was running for Congress in an Ohio district, and who, while fill­ ing his round of appointments, made a speech, at the close of which, by way of commending himself to the "bone and sinew," the "regular sovereigns" of the country, he said that h.e was a self- made man, of "obscure birth and hum­ ble origin;" that, in fact, he was sprung from "the very dregs of the peopled" "Why, fellow-citizens," said he, warm­ ing up and elevating his voice, "my parents were so poor that when I was 18 years old my mother had to tie me to the bedpost to keep me from falling into the fire whenever she went to the spring for a pail of water." Of course he intended to say eighteen months, and Mr. Corwin, who was present, cried out: "Oh Jones, Jones, what a thump­ ing big baby you must have been!" The crowd saw the point of the joke, snd Jones broke down at once, amid their jeers. Knew What Real Style Was. Talk erbout style," said a tall, angu­ lar specimen of the old-fashioned Texan, as a crowd was reading some items on aootal etiquette in the Sunday Mirror, "It's all very well to talk erbout wearing white kid gloves, and forked- tailed coatB, and sich things as them where people don't have sense enough to keep comfo'table. But, down in my diggins, sich styles would never pass. Now, there's Jim Dollinger, ther dandy of the ranche. When he goes to a ball he goes in style. He don't put on any gloves just to show that he's got an in­ vite. No, sir-ee.

An', lemme tell you, if any o' ther boys happen ter have on a coat it is soon shucked offen him in ao time. It is the same to dances where the boys happen ter not be in­ vited.

A public man, with the reputation of telling good humorous stories, is made to father all sorts of yarns, good, bad and indifferent. That was President Lincoln's lot. He was father to so many poor stories, that many people doubted if he was really the author of the good ones attributed to him. Among these doubters was General Logan, and his skepticism oontinued, until ne came into personal contact with the genial humorist. General Grant sent Logan from the Western Department to Washington, with dispatches to be delivered to the President in person. Logan reached the capital late on Saturday night, and early on Sunday morning called at the "White House. The servant said it was against the rules for any one to see the President on Sunday. "Go upstairs and tell Mr. Lincoln that Logan is here with dispatches from General Grant," was the answer which sent the servant off. He soon came back to lead General Logan up to the President's private office. Mr. Lincoln was sitting in a chair, with one foot on a table and his head thrown back, while a barber was shav­ ing him. "Sit down, and I'll talk to you in a few minutes," said the President.

The Buda-Pesth Tagblait furnishes an account of a Hungarian of the name of Francis Nagy, who is said to be over 130 years of age, and still enjoys com­ paratively good health and the full use of his mental faculties. He lived a shepherd's life until he joined the army in his 20th year, and in 1813 fought at the battle of Leipsic. He was taken prisoner by the French, but succeeded in regaining Hungary in 1815. He now lives on the charity of the inhabitants of his native plaoe, Csotnya, in the county of Somogy. Nagy does not re­ member ever to nave suffered a day's illness.

The discovery of a new gas is a rare and important event to chemists. Such a discovery has been announced in Germany by Dr. Theodor Curtius, who has succeeded in preparing the long- sought hydride of nitrogen, amidogen, diamide or hydrazine, as it is variouslv called. This remarkable body, which has hitherto baffled all attempts at iso­ lation, is now shown to be a gas, per­ fectly stable up to a very high temper­ ature, of a peculiar odor, differing from that of ammonia, exceedingly soluble in water, and of basic properties. In composition it is nearly identical with ammonia, both being compounds of nitrogen and hydrogen.

For years thia road has been noted for its enterprise in improving its train servioe and efforts to provide com­ fort, convenience, and safety for the traveling Eublia This is a fact which is appreciated y those who are obliged to spend much of their time in a passenger coach or a sleeping- car. It is a pleasure to travel on any division of the Chicago, Milwaukee and Hi Paul, for a more courteous and obliging corps of con­ ductors and subordinates cannot be found than is in charge of the numerous trains of this popular railway system. Trains are leaving Chicago over thia line for different points in the West almost hour­ ly. One of the new and popular trains re­ cently added to its service is that whioh leaves Chicago every day at 7:30 p. m. and arrives at St. Paul the next morning at 9:80 o'clock, and at Minneapolis only thirty-five minutes later. This train is known as the "business man's favorite," because he can leave Chioago after business hours and ar­ rive in St Paul the next morning before business begins Another very popular train upon this road is the Sioux City short line. Leaving Chicago at noon daily, passengers arrive in Sieux City shortly after v o'clock the next morning, making dose connections with trains for Northern and Southern Dakota. Elegant dining ears are run upon this train, upon which dinner, supper, and breakfast are served in a style that traveling men say is ahead of any other road. The Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul Bail- way offers superior advantages jo all who contemplate a Western trip. Its various lines traverse Northern Illinois, Wisconsin, Minne­ sota, Iowa, and Dakota to a greater extant than any other road Its equipment is first- elasa in every respect, and travelers who pat­ ronise it speak in the highest terms of it Parties who propose to attend the neat "Corn Palace" festivities, which are to be held at Sionx City, Iowa, from Ootober 3 to Oetober 8L inclusive, should not fail to bny their tick­ ets over the Chicago, Milwaukee and St PauL The next Harvest Excursion over this favor­ ite road will leave Chicago October 11. Tick­ ets for this excursion will be sold at half rates to points in Minnesota, Dakota, and Northern Iowa. For further particulars ad­ dress A. V. H.

Z.oveU Arms Co» It is of the utmost importance that parties who are in want of a good Gun, Rifle or Re­ volver, or, in fact, anything in the sporting goods line, should patronise a reliable dealer in these goods, wbo^e reputation for honeBtty dealing with their patrons is established. Such is the reputation that has boon en­ joyed by the John P. Lovel! Arms Ca, of Boston, Mas*., for the last forty-seven years. The business of this well-known house was established in 1840, by Mr. John P. Lovell, who is now the honored President of the oom- pany. Their reputation for honest dealing with their patrons is not limited to this coun­ try alone, but is world-wide, as they have customers in every portion of the habitable floba. It is a pleasure to purchase goods roin this well-known firm, for the purchaser is assured that when he receives his goods that they will be found to be exactly as rep­ resented in their extensive catalogues, which they issue for the oonvenienoe or customers who reside at a distance, and who cannot pay them a visit to make a personal selection. The John P Lovell Arms Co. are extensive manufacturers of Guns, Revolvers, Holier Kkatee, Polioe Ctoods, Air Rifles, etc., eta, whioh explains why their prices are so much lower than those of their competitors, who have to depend on other manufacturers for their goods It is aa interesting sight to visit the extensive ware- rooms of this firm, where are stored thou­ sands of the most celebrated makes of Shot Guns, Riles, etc., etc. The building itself Is an imposing structure,, situated in the most historic part of old Boston, and facing Fane ail Hall and the statue of Samuel Adams. Speoial attention is called to an advertise­ ment now in our columns of a Oolt Repeating Rifle, which the Lowell Arms Company are offering for tll.(K). This, as they state, is the greatest bargain we have ever seen in this lina Being manufactured hy the celebrated Colt Revolver oonoern of Hartford, Conn., is a sufficient guarantee that the Rifle is exactly what u clamed for it No one who is interested in Sporting goods of any description should fail to secure a copy of the catalogue issued by this firm It oon- sists of 100 pages, and is mailed free of charge to any address on receipt of <1 cents in stamps It is full of important information of interest to the sportsman.
