I advise those who consult me up on the tired complexion to indulge in what is called the English beauty cup. Mr. Gladstone took it each night of his life, as long as he had health, and it is the cup which keeps many an English beauty going. It is simply tea, but tea made without the nerve destroying attributes. If properly made it invites sleep. You take half.a small coffee spoon of tea and you scatter it in the bot tom of a very large cup. The Ger man coffee cups are the best for this purpose. Over this you pour as much. boiling, bubbling water as the cup will hold. The saucer is placed on top of the cup in Chinese fashion. Now comes the big wadded tea cosey, which must be thrown over all. It is an oddly shaped cosey, made to cover cup and saucer. It stands for five minutes to steep. Now comes the scientific part of the cup: You take three very thin slices of lemon and you lay them in a big hot cup. On top of the slices of lemon you place a big maraschino, and then on top of all you pour in the tea, putting it through a strainer. The result will be a fine, weak, hot, but healthful cup of tea with just the right flavor of lemon. You can have sugar if you want it, and Gladstone's rule of three big lumps will do you no harm, for sugar is a great builder up of the muscles. By the way, if you are fagged out, day or night, try eating a little sugar. A lump of sugar will restore the stomach and take away that tired feeling. Sugar is recommended to women whose cheecks are hollow. It has a way of building up tissue. A big cup of tea at night is excel lent, but the trouble is that most per sons make it too strong; the weaker the better. The same is true of caf fee, which if taken weak enough, and with plenty of good sugar acts as a nightcap. Not one person in a thou sand can make it right, In Paris the French beauty takes her foaming cup of whipped chocolate after the the atre wit a beisci, or; she eips herfe .~ff.i FRANCE RESUMES iUILLOTINI Ilpatieat Crowed es51 sta Witess the Firs1 Decaplitatl In Tars. The French Government has re sumed the use of the guillotine for I executing prisoners convicted of capital offenses, and the second pib lic execution under this methods took.place at Carpentras Tuesday. The condemned, a man named Remy Danverse, who had cruelly shot an aged farmer and his wife, was first made aware of his fate by the yells of the crowd that surrounded the prison. He came out of the pri son yard with livid face and startling eyes, and it was necessary to make use of force to get him to the guillo tine and his head in position for the fall of the blade. The guillotine was erected on a public square alongside the prison. The locality was cordoned with sold iers, who effectually blocked all the streets, but an impatient crowd which had assembled during the night, demanded that it be given a chance to witness the decapitation. Some of the people climbed upon ladders from which they kept the others in formed of the details of the proceed ings, while the windows of the houses overlooking the square were jammed with people.--Iberville Sentinel.
