Get Encrairit Mame into Tour aystera, You Live to a Ripe Old Age -Description of the Trestmeat-A lama:mime), Beauty's Confession. Giaming is the latest occupation of -women who devote themselves to the pur- suit of health and beauty. Glanie is a raw word which represents the chief object of these discipIee of physical culture. Those who seek it are said to be gleaning and are denominated glamere Not only are many maids and rnainons of fashiona ble society occupied in gleaning, i but et least one professional beauty has ' resorted to the procees to heighten and pre- • eerie, her charms. Alexandra heartens, the professicinal bad for some months been leg the.prin- beauty, confessed to a Tarr that she ecIples of glowing on her ovVes person, and • obtained the stoat pleasing insults from them. belly she takes Impious drafts of • :milk fresh from the cow at a ternperature ef 98 degrees. She also reposeein ftesh air and sunshine at regular intervals. The tanatment she follows is described in de- tail hereafter. Mme Martens has appeared es a noted beautrin all the capitals of Europe, and received first prize in every contest she en- tered. The czar and the Prince of Wales are said to have declared that she was first among stage beauties. She is a woman of splendid figure, but her face is her principal charm. Her skin is smooth and soft and very fine; Her eyes are bright and dark brown and have muob expression. She bears a strong reeem blame to Mrs. Langtry at her best. For the pres- ervation of all these charms Mme. Martees declares that gleaning is doing much. What is [claming? According to a high authority the nearest word in the English language to represent giame is vitality. Yet giame is not the same as 'vitality. Chemicals have vitality, but no glama The chemist can take the four elements of blood and preserve them, but they- 'are not blood. He oan collect from other sources ell these four elements and put them to- gether, but be cannot make them live. How is it that the exact parts will not pro- duee their original? They lived. Some- thing called the spark of life imbued the combination with vital force. It was im- pulse. This impulse was glama Organic vitality is originated, directed and con- trolled by glame, and when this is gone life becomes at once a prey to dissolution. . Thelood substance which contains glare() in tbe ,most efficient form is milk, fresh from the cow, at a temperature of 98 de- grees. As soon as this fails nearly all of the glame vanishes. If you should look into' dairies in the neighborhood of New York these days, you would catch a glimpse of beautiful gleaners busily en- gaged in gleaning Some of the essential rules of earning may be briefly stated for the benefit of in- ' -quirers. They are: To drink milk fresh from the cow at a temperature of 98 degrees. To inflate the lungs at regular intervals, -close the eyes and let the mind dwell on one of the pleasantest prospects in life. To repose at regular periods during the day in air which has recently been in mo- tion and on which the sun has shone. To have the skin kneaded daily with' sweet oil. Glaming, it is clairaed, retards indefi- nitely wrinkles, gray hair and all the other signs of old age, beautifies the complexion, gives the eye wonderful powers of fascina- tion, keeps the figure youtbful and elastic and preserves the powers of the mind. The aim of the glamer's diet is to pre- vent the ossification produced by the de- posit of calcareous or anineral matter in the heart, brain arid arteries. This deposit is the cause of old- age. Physiologically one may become old at 30 as well as at 60. The skin hardens, wrinkles and gets old, the hair is killed and the blood does not circulate freely. The brain turns to bony aubstance in intricate parts and thinking becomes difficult. To guard • againse this ossification it is accessary to prevent or dissolve the osseous deposits. One or two .pints of distilled water daily are of great benefit. The diet should include apples, pears, grapes, orange juice, cherries, plums, peaches and ber- retta As animal food fieh, poultry and young mutton are recommended, because they tiontain less earthy salts than other meats. Phosphorus is necessat7 for the nourish- ment of the brain, and this is to be found In lean moats, fish, cheeseewhole wheat, eatmeal, almond nuts, white cornmeal, beans, parte, figs and prunes. The glamor seeks by diet to increase and strengthen the &tune that is in her or him, and by exercise to draw in the pre- cious fluid from natural sources, the chief of which is the sun. Glare° is the most raysterions of all principles- and appears in many forms of life. Tbe toil creates it, and man creates it by the functions of life. The value of giame may be realized vvhen it is under- , stood that it imparts a buoyant feeling, identical with the vigor of youth, into the nature of even an old pereon. Soine physicians say that if a person is standing in a slaughter house near -cattle at the tithe when life is passingfrom the animals same portion of the -vital princi- ple of life enfers the person. Tbie is glame. As glame in the system becomes more abundant the pulse will become firmer, the skin take on a healthier hue, the eye grow brighter, the step more elastic, and day by day life will be better worth living. Maine enters the body with the oxygen we breathe and passes out with every ex- halation. The followleg rule of gleaning is intended for the benefit of the lungs: Sit or stand perfectly still in some place where the air is in motion or has been re- cently and upon which the sun has shone. It is not necessary to sit in the sum Fill the lungs to their utmost capacity and hold the breath long enough to oount throe or more. The time should be about three seconds. Let the breath escape very slow- ly. Repeat by drawing in the breath very gradually and hold for five seconds. Al- ways inhale through the nose if possible. -New York Journal. Pittsburg Wasn't on the Map. Early in the present century, when ves- sels semetimes cleared Pittsburg for a sea voyage, the captain of a ship arrived at Leghorn with a cargo. • The officer who examined his papers at °pee said: "Sir, your papers are forged. There is no such place as Pittsburg in the world. Your me - se& maist be confiscated." The frightened esireitin then secured a map, directed the officer's attention. to the gulf of Mazioo, painted out the mouth of the Mississippi, fellowed that stream to the Ohio, thence to the forks and said, though the map sheered no such place), "There, sir, is tile port wiore my vessel cleared out " On Ocean's Bed.

Boom for Mexican Tobacco. Consul -General. Critten reports • from Mexico that Mexican tobacco may take the place of the fine grades of Cuban tobacco in. the markets of the world. The report is an exhaustive review of the tobacco resources of Mexico and presents the subject in a new and iniportant light. Gen. Crittenden makes no mention of the Cuban war as a cause of the depletion of Cuba's tobacco product, but he points that under aormal conditions Cuba's soil has become impoverished until it can yield no more. -Under these circumstan- ces, the consul -general says, the world's requirements of what a0 generally known. as "Havana cigars" can bmsup- plied only through the use of Mexican /leaf tobacco. CALIFORNIA PEARLS. The Great Majority Found Are of Little Value. The heds of the gulf of California pro-; dived enormously for awhile, iielding many pearls of great size. For some time, 150 years back, the output was 800 to 600 pounds of the "gems of the ocean" an- I nuttily. In 1790 a collection of big pearls was made there for a collar that became the property of the queen of Spain, and whioh is even now One of the most valua- ble possessions of the Iberian orowik As late as 1881 a black pearl, valued at$10,000 and weighing 28 carats, was obtained from those waters. One of twice that weight, -light brown and _worth $8,000, was se- cured in 1888, and in the same year a mer- chant of La Paz, 'lamed Hidalgo, bought from an Indian for $10 a pearl of beaute- nue luster, whieh he sold in Paris for 0,300. All the black pearls got from the gulf of California. are sent to'Europe, be- - cause over there they fetch_ more than white ones, being a fad. The pearl oyster banks of the gulf could not be worked profitably today but for the Introduction of modern apparatus for div- ing. Such of the bivalves aware left are in water too deep for search by ordinary methods, but the rubber clad diver, pro- vided with a tube to furnish him with air, is able to search the bottom at leisure, hit glass fronted helmet giving him a good view of his surroundings, thanks to 'the dim greenish light which illuminates the subaqueous regions. He carries with him a tenet iron reservoir allied with compress- ed air, which in case of emergency may be connected instantly with bis helmet by the turning of a cock, In this business one interesting fact is that no such articles are employed in diving for pearls anywhere else in the world: The eustomary method is to dive naked. In the Sulu archipelago the divers paint themselves black, so as not to attract the notice of sharks. „ The pearl fieheries of the gulf of Califor- nia are farmed out by the Mexican govern- ment to a San Francisco company, which employs about 400 men. Work is carried on along the &intern shore of the peninsu- la and up the Pacific side as far as Margit.; rite island. The 'Oysters are found always edge upward and usually in groups, and the diver has no difficulty in separating them from the rocks on which they grow by cutting the "byesum" which serves the mollusk as an attachment to its resting place, The bivalves thus obtained are car- ried by schooners to La Paz' and are open- ed under official inspection. One thousand of them may yield not a single pearl of any.size, while from a dozen shell', $20,000 worth may be taken. The great majority of pearls found are of little value. The final pre -loess employed is to squeeze the meat of the oyster in the fist, lest a pearl should remain imbedded in the theme of the bivalve. -Boston Tradscript. GREAT VOYAGERS. As a General Rule They Came From the Smaller Countries. Portugal is a small country, with a land area one-tkird loss than that of the state of New York and vvith a population of 500,000 less than that of the state of Penn- sylvania, but it has turned out in its time celebrated navigators, Cabral and Da Souza among them. It is a somewhat peculiar circumstance in the history of ocean navigation that'the chief navigators of Europe have us,ually been natives of minor kingdoms and with- out the advantages which would natutally aoorue to a representative of one of the larger governments. Christopher Columbus, as every school- boy knowe, was a native of Genoa at the time when the Italian peninsula was sub- divided areong numerous petty govern- ments. John Cabot was a Venetian, wbe sailed in the service of England, as Colum- bus bad sailed in the service of Spain. Amerigo Vespucci was a Florentine, who sailed originally in the service of Spain, and afterward transferred himself to the Portuguese service, and then went back to the Spanish service for a second trim. Vitus Bering, after whom Bering strait was called, was a Dane by birth, who served under the naval flag of Russia. Magellan, after whom Magellan strait was named, was a native of Alenetejo, in Portugal, and was thafirst to complete the circumnavigation of the globe, in 1599. Verazzani was a Florentine; whose voy- ages of discovery were undertaken under the protection of the flag of France. Hen- driok Hudson was an Englishman, and it Bosses surprising to many persons in this day familiar with the pre-eminence ef Eng- land as a maritime nation that he should have been in the service of the government of Holland when he discovered Manhattan Island. -San Francisco Chroniele.

It has often been a matter of vvonder to casual purchasers that small artioles of Japanese matufacture, such as toothpicks and fans, could be sold at such low prices. The small fans are sold at a cent apiece, while the dainty little toothpicks com- mand the same price per bundle. When one examines either of these prod- ects and speculates upon the amount of labor that must be spent to make them in anymmentity, the natural inference is that the well known smallness of Japanese wages contaies tbe explanation. At a first glance this seems to be the natural ex- planation. Such skilled workers as watch- makers get but a trifle rnore than $1 a week for their services, and the hes skilled and more mechanical trades command a 'pittance that to our western ideas seems Incredibly small. But, small as the wages of the Japanese worker maa be, there are considerations that indicate at once that some other cause must be found. There is a duty on beth the articles mentioned, and in addition to this it must be remembered that Japan is a good piece away, and that, in the natu- ral course, freights would give a eonsidera- ble price in this roarket to articles that were entirely without cost in the orient. .A visit to several Japanese importing houses which deal exclusively in fine Sete suma and other native wares and in Jap- anese curios revealed the secret of the prices at whioh the small wares could be offered here.

A convincing argureent for soMe girls who envy the high wages received by graduate nurses is found in the statement_that woman who enters upon such ,a career les - sena her chances in life by an average of 21 years.

A Galashiels merchant kept such a large variety of goods that he got to' be known as " Wullie A'thing." Some persons were in the habit of going to the shop and asking for the most unlikely articles just to annoy him. A man with this intention entered his shop one day.asked if he had any hand- cuffs, . as he wished to buy a pair. The merchant, who had a habit of prefacing many of his remarks with the, words, " I'm saying, I'm saying," told his customer that he was sorry he had none- in stoch, but he added-" I'm saying, I'm saying, just take yer measure and get them for ye." Taking a piece of stout coed he firmly tied his would be customer's hands together, then added as he pushed him out into the street; " I'm saying, I'm saying, I think they're a gey gude fit !"1 - Their Unanimous Desire.

When she was about a year old her parents removed to Buffalo, New York, where her father became a succeessful manufacturing chemist, and where, as a little girl, she developed a chilire aptitude and interest in her father's daily work. She grew up in his laboratory, gaining a work- ing knowledge of chemical methods. Her father led the way in many food experi- ments. After spending several years at a private school in buffalo, Sarah Heston went, at the age of eleven, to Aurora, New York, where she took a five years' sciratific course, devoting much time to chearietry. Retarning to Buffalo she was graduated from a finishing school, after studying for three years. During all this time She had shown much fondness for, and skill in, cooking. When twelve years old she took a prize for a loaf of bread and a loaf of eponge cake at a Western New York County Fair.

It is .estimated that 3,d00 to 4,000 eords of pulp wood a day enthrs into the manufac- ture of paper in the United States. At the minimum, 3,000 cords, the total for a year would be the enormous amount of 900,000 'cords. It is safe to cell it 1,000,000. If this wood were piled in one continuous string, it would make a wall four feet wide and four feet high a little over 1,515 mile"; in length. It can be seen what a prodigious thing the wood pulp industry is, and at what a tremendous rate it is devouring trees, mainly spruce. Yet all tbis wood is eonverted into paper, which, after being used, vanishes from sight in a few days, and goes back to dust, out of which element the trees . grow. The pulp basiness of this country is only a "patchin " to what the world,can show. One mill in Paris annually imports about 50 ship loads ef pulp wood 3from Norway and Sweden. and on the east ;coast of Great Britain and Scotland large :quantities are imported every year. The mills of this country export a large portion of their output, During the week ending __November 18, pulp and paper to the amount ef 130,000 worth was shipped foreign from New York. Of the total 110,000 worth went Ito Melbourne, Australia, 14,725 to Mexican ports, 12,160 th London, 12,715 to Liverpool, $500 th Manchester, 13,578 to Wellington,' $680 to Buenos Ayres and abouh1600 to Hamburg.
