A match was struck. and by its light Digby caught a glimpse of the Span- iard’s face. which was as calm and unâ€" ruffled as could be. Then they went on, and retook their places on either side of the mule. †I've been very busy, too," continu- ed Ramon. “Tired; but was curious to hear how you had got on; and yet half afraid that the crater had given way and swallowed you all up." Digby felt tongue-tied; but Ramon chattered away. “ I wonder whether Senor Redgrave will let me throw myself upon his hos- pitality this evening? I called on my way up, and found that you had not returned. I left some fruit; and there was a fragrance from the kitchen win« dow that was maddening to a hungry man. Ah! here we are." For they had come up to Redgrave and Fraser. who were standing beside the track. " You. Ramon f" said Redgrave, rath- er steriily. . " Yes. my dear sir, I thought Iwould go and meet them; but I missed you. My dear Redgrave, I want you to give me a bit of dinner to-night." ' “ Certainly." replied Redgraveâ€"and he told a polite lie: “I shall be very happy."

You and orbit HEALTH. . \Ww PHYSICAL BEAUTY. In a late number of a little maga- zine called New Ideas is an article on "Physical Beauty," which contains some good advice rcgarding the care of the skin. In the writer's opinion a sal- low or wrinkled skin is a most unpleiis-i ant thing to deal with. for daily habits. thoughts and occupations have much to do with it. and one must begin very. deep down at the roots to have any good effects result from the treatment. A sallow skin is often the result of im- proper eating; rich food. hot bread and fried victuals will all tend to increase the ugly hue, while fresh meats, well cooked, plenty of green vegetables and fruit will change the appearance in a very short time. "Spinach and leek, Lily cheeks in a week.†is an old doggerel that may rather ex- aggerate the results of that diet, but is on the whole good. 'A well-known: doctor holds that onions eaten freelyi will beautify the complexion. and that. in addition they are an excellent nerve ionic and will tone up a wornout sys- tem. If a sprig of parsley is dipped in vinegar and eatcn after the onion. no unpleasant odor can be detected on the breath. It would be difficult to prescribe a regular diet, but broiled or roast) meats are the best and tried the worst Beef and mutton contain the greatest amount of nourishment and pork the ileasn. And, indeed. pork in any form should be eaten but sparingly It, 09 course, follows that whatever benefits the complexion benefits the general) health, and though no one really taken advice, yet it would be wise to think of these few hints. For an unyielding sallow complexion.- W commend it is to be relied upon. it “3" 7‘ be suisfaciory. a". one way to use it is to put a hand- fn. of the meal in.o abnsin of warm water in which the. face is washed and then it lpe with .i sci. towel. 'l‘lie skut silo-ant then be rubbed softly into a gloi. \Yllll the ï¬ngers, Before. going out into i;.c wind or cold a little of the maxi. should no uusmd unto the face and “asiiui off ofier returning to the house. ,iliis will pron-iii clmppiiig and soreness of a ICleBl' skin. Another way to lose ii is to make a pasie of cannon} and milk boiled io- ge.lici'. and, utter washing the face carefully, rub on some of it. Then rub the skin soti._v as previously iccozn- mended. This is best done at usual. As eici‘yoric knows tunnel: is very softening, an l it cannot but lu-llclll any skin if peisisieii in. It is worthy of a trial at any rate. DON‘T DO l'l‘. Don't sleep in a ‘damp bed at any time. Don't forget that direct mischief may result from the contact. of an imper- fcctily healed body with sheets which retain moisture. Don't. think the temperature of the body will be sufficient. to raise the tempemture of the linen lo a safe pomt. Don't forget that the result must be disastrous if. as is sure to happen. the skin is coolleil by contact wiili a surâ€" face cooler than itself. which may keep steadily abstracting the beat. all tho night through. Don't be careless in this respect when traveling; if it. is iiiipraciimble to have the sheets thoroughly aired and dried and warmed by bed-room fire, simply pull out. the sheets and sleep 'behveciii the lbankets. i Don‘t neglect iliis prudent. oxpndienli simply because the contact of the blanket may be disagreeable; this will be better than the risk of a severe cold. WH . . a small dose of; Rochelle salts takeni [ITEMS 0P INTEREST ABOUT THE every day or every other day is ex- tremely beneficial. The dose. however; should not be larger than half a tea- spoonful. - Steaming the face, is also an excellent remedy. though very few can be zip-i plied from the surface. Healthy outdoor exercise is also in- valuable. To remove wrinkles there is really no cure but massage or the knife of the dermatologist. Gently rubbing away from the nose with the tips of the fin- gers is an excellent thing for all coniâ€" piloxions. The wrinkles should be smoothed apart and the skin rubbed until it is quite warm. and this treatâ€" ment should be kept up and new life infused into the skin by the applica- tion of a good skin tonic. whether in cream or iiquid form. Glycerine cold‘ cream is excellent for some skins, alâ€" mond cream for others and cucumber crealm for most. If the parings of cu- cumbers are left to stand in a little cold water until the milk has all been drawnout and then this cream, just asut is. applied to the face once or twrce aday, the result is excellent. Camphor ice is very heading and re- storative, and should be made as fol- lows: Melt one ounce white wax, one ounce spermaceti, two ounces caniplior, one pound almond oil. Mix well, add- ing gradually one pound of rose wa- ter, finally one drachm of attar of rose- mary for perfume. {Borax is healthy and cleansing, and’ an excellent borax lotion is composed' of one-half ounce of powdered borax. one ounce each of gtycerine and cam- phor. two ounces of alcohol and one pint of water. When partially dry. wash off with soft water. _ To make almond paste. which enters into so many toilet recipes, pound blanched almonds in a mortar, reduc- ing them to a very fine paste. Add. gradually, a little water and some per- fume. ‘If for the weekly bath a daily bath be substituted, you will be surprised at. the difference it will make both to the coniplexmn and the general health. English women are noted for thein clear skins. and they, with few excep- tions, bathe every day, and in cold wa- ter too._ This last is only suited to some skins; to many warm water is more restful, ‘ut an excellent treat- ment for the face is washing it first in very hot water and then quickly dashing cold water over it. The shock acts as a ionic and keeps the skin very lieaJlthy. In favor of the use of cold water ill. must be said that it keeps the skin firm, and rarely is a flabby skin seen in anyone who uses it. while warm. water is very often apt' to liaVe this resu'it. A good plan is to wash in cold water in the morning and hot water: at night, and if powder be used every trace of it shou‘id be removed before gomg _to bed, as it dogs up the pores and hinders the outpouring of refuse which takes place during the night: when the body is at rest. Sometimes the hands (:lL'l because. they are not properly dried 8. [er wash- ing. _ A good five minutes should be occupied in drying the hands. taking each finger ‘separatel '. Five cents‘. worth of g'lycerine and five cents' worth of benzoiii diluted with an equal quan- tity of water may be rubbed upon the hands until it has dried in, and it will have them smooth for the time being. . .I’mvdering the face before going out. in the cold is a wise precaution to pre- vent it from chapping. but on no tic-a count put cold cream on it. Always wear a veil when it is windy or very cold. and perfectly a good thich one. FOR THE COMPLEX ION. The woman who wants to improve her complexion need not resort to expensive remedies any more. for such a cheap and simple thing as ordinary oatmeal will do all that can be done. It willim- prove a poor skin and complexion and lengthen the life of a beautiful one in- definitely. The remedy is so inexpen- sive that anyone can afford to try it,~ and ifitworks no good it will do no harm. If the veracity of those who :3.
