A writer says there is evidence in America
OF race more primitive in all respects and
lower in culture than any now existing, also
of a man in a more advanced stage. There
may have been a more advanced race, but
when we read of dog fights prize fights,
pigeon slaughtering and Boss Kelly Democ-
racY, it is hard TO realize that this country
was once peopled with a race lower III Gull
ture than any now existing.

A RECIPE TO MAKE PRETTY WOMEN -
A celebrated beauty. whose complexion at
sixty was fresher than that of our women
at thirty, told me her secret this Summer
and it was divided into two parts: First
She never used washrag or towel on hel
face, but washed it with her hands, rinsing
1t off with a soft sponge. She used clear wa
ter in the morning, but white castilesoap OF
very warm water at night, and after drying
it on a soft towel she would take Q flesh
brush and rubbed her cheeks, chin and fore
head. Sccond--If she was going to be up
late at night she always slept as many
hours in the day as she expected to be awake
beyond her usual time. She finished her lit
tie sermon on beauty preservation by saying
"Soft water and sound sleep keep off wrin-
kles and spots, and girls should give more
attention to this than they do, for DRAFT s..

Is the going Of the beaux fest.'' 'Al t
