Goats, Milk for the COmDlexion.

From the New York Sun.
''ls it true" asked a reporter of well-known
physician in 3Sth street, "that girls are now
drinking goats milk to improve their COM
plexi0ns?"
"UndOubtedly," said the physician, promptly;
"and it is also true that they are indulging in
lettuce juice, asses milk, cream, glycerine, cam
phoI, pOultices, arsenic, patent nostrums of
every variety and chemical Masks
'You don't say?"
Eyes, do. They try everything on earth ex-
cept the fundamental requisite. have had an
extensive experience in treating cases of skin
trouble with women, and am still surprised at
the ease with which they are fooled by all sorts
of quack medicines and devices. Last spring l
had girl under treatment whose stomach was
almost ruined. She had been taking an infer
nal compound sold by firm in 14th
street which was expected to make her arms
plump. She was not an idiot, either Another
patient of mine excited my ire a short time ago.
She was the most spOok-like and ghastly-loOk-
ing specimen ever saw. Her skin was q dead
white, and her eyelids were crusted and vio-
lently red. She was quite satisfied with her
color-or lack of it-but wanted me to take
away the color from her eyelids. l frightened
her into confessing that she had been consum-
ing quantities of a compound said to have been
stolen from one of the beauties of the Sultaus
harem, and then began to clear her blood.
But DO you think goats milk improves the

A March Of 5000 Miles.

From the Idaho Springs Gazette
Noticeable at the Spa Hotel is the tall figure
Of an old solderly-lOOking gentleman. whose
military career is interesting. 1t is Gen. A. W.
DOniphan, man seventy years old. who. at the
beginning Of the Mexican war, in June. 1916.
stepped from large practice into the ranks.
whence he was at once elected to the cOlonelcv
OF the first Missouri regiment Of mounted vol
unteers. The similarity between the names
XenOphOn and Doniphan has been noted but the
resemblance does not stop there Gen. Doni-
phan, like the Greek leader. made one of the
longest marches OnrecOrd. Starting at Fort Lea
yenworth, the first Missouri volunteers marched

Norte, conquering New Mexico and other
states participating i'm the battles of Drastic and
Chihuahua. losing but one man in both. but
capturing 500 and killing the same number of
the enemy. The hardy band o. less than a
thousand men, without q cents nay till their
return, made a circuit of 5000 miles in thirteen
months, ten of which they were constantly In
the saddle. Gen. Doniphan finds at Idaho

A Remarkable Scene I'm Court.

The notorious James Robinson, or "Jack
Sheppard" as he is best known to the police Of
Pennsylvania and Ohio, was sentenced in Phila-
delphia on Friday to three years imprisonment
for stealing lot OF merchandise. The prisoner
Just before sentence was passed, made q re-
ma rkable address, reviewing his life in and out
Of prison, at the conclusion Of which the Judge
said: "When your term expires, it is to be
hoped that after what you have said you will
to do is 70 bear 1t patiently"
Yes" answered Sheppard, 'sbear It pa-
tiently. 1 worked three years in your states
prison making shoes, and know as much now
about Matchmaking as do about shoemaking.
They taught me In your prison to be dishonest.
Ny principal work was to paste leather and
pasteboard together to make thick sole to Inn
pose on the public. The man having the con-
tract was Christian, q member Of the church.
and at the time called his attention to the
pastebOard business he was foreman of the
grand jury. They sent me to the states prison
to make me honest. and that Is how they do it. !"

FROM the Louisville Courier-Journal
It is fact not generally known. but 1t Is a
fact, nevertheless, that Georgia and Mississippi
are the strictest temperance states in the Union.
A gentleman who has spent several months in
those states said last evening: "There are 81
counties in Georgia where q man cannot buy,
beg or steal a drink of whisky, and none can
be purchased In the state except In some of the
larger towns. People are fanatical on the sub
ject, and In Mississippi they have gone to such
an extreme that they tax billiard tables 81. 600
apiece, under the opinion that they are device
for the encouragement of drinking. There are
only few forcign-born citizens In the state, and
the native American voters enact laws sat.sfac-
tory to themselves"
The evangelzing influence Of the cotton mill
and other industrial establishments Is won
derful. The hands In cotton factories are mainly
drafted from the class known as "pOor whites. I"
The poor whites" have heretofore had no place
and received not the slightest consideration
They were between the ruling class and the ne
groes: and were despised by both. Their sons
and daughters have gone to work In the fac
tories, and are earning more money than they
ever dreamed of. The possession Of the small
Bu:ns they earn as wages has given them new
ideas, and the young boys and girls are going TO
school and Furnishing up in a manner that Would
not have been thought possible ten or even five
years ago. new era IL dawning In the south.

Caution About Getting Lean.


From the st. James Gazette
Fat men resOlutely bent on bringing down
their weight should read the report of DR.. vul-
plan on the causes of the digestive disturbance
which was the origin of the malady to which
the COmte de Chambord succumbed The
Count, it must be remembered, was in HIS early
days thrown from horse; with the twofold re-
suit Of tanning him and destroying his nerve
He was unable in consequence either to walk
or to ride; and having exhibited taste and
even passion for hunting, he caused rides to
be cut in the forest of FrOhsdOrf, along which.
driven in carriage, he was accustomed to pur-
sue his game. This. during the last few years
of his life, was the only form in which he took
exercise; and, as natural consequence, he be-
came inOrdinately stout. He had recourse to
Bantingism; and the dietary system he adopted
had the effect-as he first and Dr. Vulpian az
forwards believed-of bringing about the con-
ditiOn Of stomach which at last killed him.
'SOme four or five years ago." says DR.. Vul-
plans report, ''the Count, urged by desire to
diminish his stOutness. submitted himself to
the Banting system in all its rigOr and in few
months had lost nearly fifty pounds of his
weight. This rapid emaciatiOn had produced
weakness and at the same time perhaps. d.
gestive troubles, and several people have told
me that that was the case and have even traced
to the same date the first attacks of the NAL
ady." The immediate effects of severe Bant-
ingism seem to have passed off, but later the
Count was twice attacked by acute indigestion
and was obliged to subject himself to severe
treatment on each occasion.

TOUCHING CORPULENCY.
How to Avoid Getting Fat.
from the Pail Mall Gazette.

From the Pail Mall Gazette
A new book on "COrpulence and it's Treat
ment. i" has lately been published in Germany by
Prof. Ebstein, of GOttingen. He is not. like the
English saviour OF the stout" full of overflow
ing thankfulness for relief from his disease;
probably he has not even suffered from it, for
corpulent men are rarely stern and strict. His
method also differs from that OF Banting Ac-
cording to Ebstein, the primary cause of corpu-
lency is the want of sufficient energy to re-
nOunce the so-called attractions of life He
firmly maintains that fat is produced merely by
overeating and drinking. Water and drinking
cures are altogether condemned by Prof. Eb-
stein: and while the Banting system
trine is directly opposed by Prof Eb-
stein, in whose ideal OF fare for those suffering
from cOrpulency fat forms great feature ''The
80 grammes of bacOn," says Prof. Ebstein,
(which our emperor ordered to be delivered
daily to all soldiers taking part in the French
campaign of 1870, are. so to speak. an official
acknowledgment of the Importance of fat in the
rational nOurishment of a hardwOrking man."
The annexed bill-Of-fare is that proposed by
Prof. Ebstein for an average case of cOrpulency
the invalid being supposed to be fOrty-One wears
of age, and having suffered from increasing
stoutness for twenty-five years. The disease is
supposed to be contracted by insufficient bodily
exercise, diet consisting OF such things as are
nurt1ui among which are named all sweet dishes
and those containing much albumen and those
devoid OF sufficient quantity of fat.
Breakfast-A large cup OF black tea without
milk or sugar; 50 grammes of white bread. or
toasted brown bread with plenty of butter
Dinner-SOup Frequently and with bone mar
row.. 10 to $50 grammes meat, boiled or
roasted, with fat gravy-fat meat being prefer
able; small quantity of vegetables, particularly
hguminOus, but also all kinds Of cabbage Tur-
nlps are excluded because of the sugar con-
tanned in them; potatoes are altogether ex-
Guided. After dinner some fresh fruit, when in
season, as dessert; salad or baked fruit with
out sugar. Two or three glasses of light wine
Soon after dinner large cup of black tea, with
out milk and sugar.
Supper-In winter regularly, in summer occa-
siOnay large cup of black tea without milk
and sugar. An egg or some fat roast meat, or
both. sometimes fat ham, smoked or fresh fish.
about thirty grammes of white bread, with
plenty of butter, and occasionally small guam
