LATE FAD OF THE GOOD HEALTH
AND BEAUTY SEEKERS.
if Iron WM. 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.

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,

to the forks and said, though the map
sheered no such place), "There, sir, is tile

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

IMPORTATION SCHEMES.
Why Japanese Matches and Toothpieks
Are So Cheap.
. 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.

houses which deal exclusively in fine Sete

anese curios revealed the secret of the prices

e third anniversary of the opening of
the new building occupied by the Fitst
Presbyterian Church, London, of which
Rev. W. J. Clark is pastor, was commenced
on Sabbath, 17th ult., by special sermons
and collections. Rev. Professor George L.
Robinson, Ph.D. of Knox College, Tor-
onto, conducted b'oth morning and evening
services. Of the professor the London Ad-
vertiser says : His English is classic in
its purity, his logic powerful and conclusive.
The discussion, as a wbole, of which tio
mere summary. could do justice, was a mas-
terly edposition. The impresmon made by
the new profeesor of Knox College was most
favorable, and it is believed that Dr. Rob-
inson has before him an important future
in connection with the education of young
men for the work of the ministry."
-There are 400 Ancient Order -of TJnited
Workmen lodges in Canada, Each one of
these will send a delegate to the Grand
Lodge of Canada, which will meet An Tor-
onto on February 19th. It is anticipated
that there will be a sepera.tion of this lodge
from the Supreme Lodge of the United
States, which at prerant has jurisdietion
over the entire American continent. The
death rate in the United States has
been so much = greater, relatively, than
in Canada,' that the Grand Lodge here
has been paying more than it would pay
were it a separate body, hence the antici-
pation of a separation. All the lodges have
been iotified of the 'extreme importance of
the miming convention.
-John Mitchell, the centenarian of Dor-
chester, died on Wednesday, 20th 'ult, His
exact age, as given by his son, was 103
years and 3 months. By a sad and singular
coincidence his daughter Helen died the
same morning, aged 60 years at &Joseph's
Hospital, London. The latr; Mr. Mitchell
watiborn on October 30th, 1793, in the par-
ish of Belli°, Banftlihire, Scotland. He fol-
lowed ,the occupation of a blacksmith, ham
ing jutt completed his apprenticeship at the
time of the Battle of Waterloo. His imam
tion developed in early life an unusually
vigorous constitution. In 1818 he married
Jane Rruce, who was four years his junior,
and who died many years ago. Two sons,
one 7.4 years of age,and three daughters sur-
vive the aged father.
-On Sunday morning St. Andrew's
Church Delaware was well filled to
hear Rev. Mr. Leitch's earnest address
on "Danciug." He chose for his text
Matthew xiv., 6, and spoke with great
vigor. He said when they had three
dances a week and two a night it was high
time for the pulpit to speak, and if it was
only cranks who spoke on questions of this
kind, he would be the crank of Delaware.
The speaker dealt with the temptations and
evils of the ball -room, and so-called ".Assem-
blies," and his remarks gave patisfaction to
a large class of the community.

Trained Nurses.
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. This is from the statistical side.
The testimony of one who has been in the
profession for a number of years, and who
has achieved distinetion in one of the most
difficult branches, surgical nursing, is that
the average life of the training , nurse does
not exceed ten years. Beginning at 20, be-
fore she is 35 she is so broken dovin that
she cannot follow her profession. At 35 the
doctor prefers a younger woman. Girls who
are considering the advisability of choosing
nursing for a profession should consider all
such possibilities before devoting their youth
to such a pursuit -Brooklyn Eagle.

Galashiels Character.
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 -

America's Most Famous Cook.
Mrs. Talcott Williams writink of " The
Most Famous Cook in Ainerica," Mrs. S. T.
Rorer, in the February Ladies' Home
Journal, says " Sarah Tyson Heston, the
daughter of Dr. Charles Tyson Heston, was
born in Bucks county, Pennsylvania, in Oc-
tober, 1849. 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.
"Dr. Heston responded to Lincoln's first
call for three months men, and remained ig
the service until the end of the war, re-
turning with shattered 'health. The per-
sonal care for ten years of her invalid
father, who required the most delicate and
digestible food, was Mrs. Rorer's uncon-
scious preparation for her life work.

Pulp and Paper.
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
