Turn the pages please,‘ Enmert‘s greeting was like throwing retlected sunlight into another‘s eyes, and greatly impresâ€"ed by it, Dick sha.â€" lowly rejoiced at the increased prosperâ€" ity awaiting his firm when thoee old fogy Deakers dropped out. How sadly purblind is youth; but experience soon adjusts corrective spectacles. He was not too far gone, however, to note,with some wonder, how easily his mother and sister were conducting themselves, inâ€" stead of sitting neglected in a corner,as he had expected; but he was not perâ€" mitted to profit by the observation. A soft voice beside him asked: ‘Do you sing, Mr. Perchmont? Sophin flashed her glorious eyes into his face. _ He had been Auttering mothfly like @round her, and now,lookâ€" ing down into those lustrous orbs, he saw in their divine depths a shrine of devotion. O‘d Sydney Deaker was p‘ainly dreesed, but Equmert shoue resplenâ€" dent. Dick souldn‘t help noticing the genuine cordiality ektended by the two Deakers to his mother aud sister; and when Mrs, Déeaker, a placid, motherly old lady entered, no patronage iced the kisses she gave them, but they were warm with true, unaifected hospiâ€" tality. cordi«l congratulations! What queenly dignity! What loveliness! radiant signs of a loving, confiding, womanly heart! The junior partner was a worâ€" shiper from that moment, and slowly, unassuming Annie sank beluw the horizon. ~ 1 The celestial creature did drop such aA glance upon the plain widow and daughter, but she dig not turn haughtâ€" ily away, . She was iexceedingly graciâ€" ous; Dick feared patronizingly so; but be repelled the base thought, particu larly when he saw that such, too, vas his mother‘s impression. _ Sophia was angel high above such pettiness. What therewith, sharp'misgivings ‘w to his mother and sister pricked his réfined soul, as they rode dinnerward in the coach. The former was :too plainly diessed; the latter, entirely too demure and lacking in that dashing grace of Sophia Emmert. H}s giddy fanoy picâ€" tured her cold, critical glance upon them, and her turning baughtily away and forever ignoring/bim. Next morning the customary form alities made Dick junior partner, and Tom Wilgus chief bookâ€"keeper. The diuner always given on the evening of th‘s day by the retinng partner was announced by Sydaiey Deaker, and Dick, with his mother and sister, was cordially invited. ‘o maii wl Words fail to describe Dick‘s lavish prepurations for this important introâ€" duction to society.

Here is the doctor‘s advice, briefly given: Take a tonic every morning, in the shape of & cool sponge bath, followâ€" ed by a vigoroys rubbing with a dry towel!, not too coarse, the face and neck receiving their full share of the friction. This sets the blood to moving brisk )y, and electrifies the system. ’{&ke & warm bath at bedtime and wash the face slowly, carefully and thorougbly with warm water and Castile soap, The only matter exuding from the skin catches minute particles of dust, which cannot be removed in any other way; and many eruptions are caused by neglect of this simple precauiion. After this wholesome cleansing dip the face into a basin of clear, cold water, and the skin will be left firm and healthy. Exercising The Skin. * "‘The trouble with most bad comâ€" plexions," said a doctor to a roomful of schoolgirls the other day, "is that the skin does not get exercise enough." A medical journal gives this receipt for sleep: "Dismiss from the mind the cares and worries of the day, forgive all enemies, relax the brain and commit one‘s self to the great Power that ruiles the universe in confidence and hope." Few public men have followed this rule more absolutely thin Gladstone, who sleeps like & child from the moment his head touches the pillow. After t'a defent of his home rule in parliamc‘*, in 1886 he went in the early morning and slept, as usua), his full complement of eight hours. _ Mr. Edison that people do not need several hours of continuous sleeg, and that a few minutes or an hour, of unâ€" conscious rest now and then is all that is required. He says that the habit of sleep was formed before the era of artâ€" ificial light when people had no other way of spending the hours of darkness. At one time he worked 72 hours withâ€" out sleep. But we doubt if he ever wins the world to his theory even with his wizard‘s power of turning night into day., Avoud sleeping in an undergarment that bas been worn during the day. If the change from woolen underwear to a cotton nightdress produces a chilly sensation, then provide one of soft, light fiannel. Such a garment bas the addiâ€" tional advantage of requiring less bed clothing, It is bad to sleep in such a way that the light will strikethe eyes before it is time to wake in the morning,. It is unwise to go to bed hungry, and often equally unwise to retire immedâ€" iately after a heavy meal. Never awaken & person who is ill even to give him medicine unless by definite instruction from the physician. _ ‘In fact,‘ said old Sydney, ‘your head has been turned. I‘ve been watching you. You must remember, Richard, that dush and style don‘t make busiâ€" nesse, nor fine clothes and gay acqusintâ€" ances and smpty womanaly beauty make life. We must reconstruct the firm. For your worthy mother‘s sake, we won‘t dismiss you; but I think another term of five years as bookâ€"keeper will condense your giddiness into business, aud I propose that Tom Wi gus be junâ€" ior partner.‘ _ _ â€" | And as Tom Wilgus rode home with Annie Jermyo,bhe asked,in the plodding way : â€" â€" Au explanation from Dick was deâ€" manded, which was that Emmert, workâ€" ing upon his infatuation for Sophis, bad induced him to sign the checks, but he earnestly usserted that be was entirely innocent as to their intended purpose. _ 4 * â€" He produced them, gud sank exhaustâ€" ed into a chair. Advice About Sleep. "For a man‘s birth look to his linen and finger nails, unid observe the inâ€" flections of his voige. For his taste study the color of his tie, the pattern and the hang of his gousers, his friend s and his rings, if any. For his propensitâ€" ies, walk around and look carefully at the back of his hmg, and, remember girls, never marry & man whose neck buiges ever so little over his collar. If you want a succtjanful man, see that be is neat in his attire, and that he has a neat foot; be will move quicker and get over obstacle faster than &a man who falls over bis own toes, and trips up other folke with them‘ too. For his breeding, talk sentiment to him when he is starving, and ask him to carry a bandbox down the public street, when you‘ve just had a row, To test his temâ€" per, tell him his nose is a little to the one side, and you dont like the way his bair grows, and if that don‘t fetch him nothing will." * The following points as to how to pick a busband have been going the rounds of the press;| Hood‘s Pills are to take,easy in action and sure in effect, 25c.

It seemed terribly personal what be was saying and I shudderingly awaited his arrival, When be came to me, I rose precipitately, knocking over a‘l the boxes of charcoal that were within range, and stood behind my chair, while be sat down. After a while I gathered my voice together and told him of my disadvantage. Perhaps the pathos in my tones induced him to be kind aod to give me a little lecture, the gist of which was to work as it was natural for you to work. __The next day I beard a perfectly clear decisive voice behind the next partition, where before had only been subdued murmurs ‘Miss Jones,‘ it was saying, ‘your nose is all wrong, too long, and not well pution ; your mouth is too large ; your ears are all out of drawing. 11 fact I think you had betâ€" ter try to have anew head for me by Friday morning.‘ This was the way I knew that Mr. Beckwith had arrived.

Dr. Williams‘Pink Pills are manufacâ€" tured .by the Dr. Willinmas‘ Medicine ‘Lhe readers of the Observer have beâ€" _| come familiar with the remarkable cures effected by the use of Dr.Williams‘Pink Pills for Pule People through their reâ€" cital in these columns, as taken from other reputable newspapers. It is now our purpose to tell them of a cure, bardly short of miraculous, which was effected on a person with whom many of our readers are acquainted. We refer to Mr. Eli Joyce, formerly of Dixviile, but now living at Averil, Vt. A few days ago we saw Mr. Joyce and asked him about his recovery. He stated that for four or five years he had been affliictâ€" ed with rheumatism and dyspepsia. He was laid up and unable to do anything on an average of four months in a year, . and was constantly growing worse, although treated by good physicians and ‘ trying aumerousremedies recommended. A year ago last August hbe was taken ; seriously ill while at his sister‘s, Mrs. Dolloff of Dixville. He could not reâ€" tain anything on his stomach aud the poysicians who attended him were powâ€" erless in improving his condition, One of them stated that he had cancer of the stomach and could not live long.It was white in the precarious condition that he determined to try Dr.Williams‘Pink Pills, and before long was able to retain food on his stomach. His pain graduâ€" ally became less and in six weeks time he was back to his home in Averil,feelâ€" ing that he had obtained a new lease of life. He continued taking the Pink Pills for some time looger and gained so much in health and strength that he is now able to do the hardest kind of a day‘s work, and he frankly gives Dr. William‘s Pink Pills all the credit for his rejuvenated condition, and says he believes their timely use saved his life, The Observer has verified his story through several of his neighbors, who say that it was thougbt that he was at the point of death when he began the use of Pink Pills; in fact when he menâ€" tioned his case to one of the doctors who had attended him he said he supâ€" posed he was dead long ago. When such strong tributes as these can be had to the wonderful merit of Pink Pills it is little wonder that their sales reach such enormous proportions, and that they are the favorite remedy with all classes.
