TO BEAUTIFY OLD FURNITURE. 
Take one quart of vinegar, a handful 
of common salt, and a tablespoonful of 
muriatic acid. Boil for fifteen minutes, 
and pour into a bottle. This may be. 
warmed when used. First wash the fur- 
niture with warm water, then go over it 
carefully with the above mixture. Then 
polish with following furniture polish. 
Four ounces of shellac, two pints of 
alcohol, two pints of linseed oil, one pint 
of turpentine. When mixed, add four- 
ounces of sulphuric ether and four ounces 
of ammonia water, Shake when used, 
and apply with a sponge lightly. 
THE SECRET OF BEAUTY. 
There is only one royal road to beauty 
and that is good health. Totryto mould 
a beautiful figure and a pretty face out of 
an unhealthy body is as impossible as it 
would be for an architect to build his 
foundation on a bed of sand. Before you 
try your beauty exercises to reduce the 
hips and waist and to fill out the hollows 
of the neck, stop and think if you have 
the physical foundations to build on, If 
you find you are anzemic, exhausted, and 
tired, postpone the beauty exercises, and 
spend your time resting and getting 
strong. Sleep as much as you can, take 
long walks, drink lots of water, and do 
not eat many sweets,
