YOUR FACE is YOUR FORTUNE.
Are You Fair Then Take Care, Lest Y GU Fade.

The rich color of a vase, eight inches
high and three inches in diameter,
caused it to bring at auction $4,000. This
large sum serves to show how great is the
appreciation of mere beauty of color, and
what is its market value. Yet this color
was produced in an effort to initiate ma
ture, and surely nature must surpass her
imitatorS. That she does so can be learned
any day by glancing at the fair cheeks of
the girls and women whom one meets up
on our streets. But it is only because the
possessors of fair or brilliant competitions
exercise unremitting care that nature is
enabled to do her best, and that beauty is
| long retained. This is the secret of the
| beauty of the women of CircaSSla and the
Orient, even long past middle age. The
skin is kept healthy by the use of lotions
| whose effect is TO stimulate natural action,
removing blemishes, permitting the blood
to show its rich color, and making the face
mobile and capable of expressing every
shade of emotion. Neglect of the skin by
u woman is almost a crime, committed not
| only against herself but against others, for
| it causes beauty to fade early, and its place
to be taken by disgusting pallor, yellow
ness, blotches or pimples. Such women
! are indeed unfortunate if they cannot Sc
cure something which will restore their
lost loneliness. The secret of the perseva-
| ton of beauty and it's restoration when
once lost is better understood by the beau
ties of the far East than by any other
women of the world, and they make good
use of it to capture the hearts of those who
please them. But there are few secrets
which can be kept long, especially any re-
lating to sosupreme amatter as the beauty
of women, and it is not surprising that
one of those which have been so long the
peculiar property of fair Circassian maid
ems, has at last become the property of
one not of their race. Such is the fact,
and in Davidson's Circassian Bloom is
found that which Western women long
have sought-a beautifier and preserva,
tive of the complexion which is as harm
less as milk, and as sure in action as
nature herself. Its use preserves the
freshness of complexion which all women
so much desire, and removes all blemishes
from the face of those who have been sc
theughtless-so crimin alas to allow
themselves to grow plain. When once
used its virtues will speedily make them
selves felt, and by its assistance a fresh
complexion can be secured and maintained
far into advanced life.
This Eastern preparation can be obtained
from the proprietors,

Rev. Sam Jones was a poor boy
raised right here among us. wild. rat
Ting chap that nearly everybody had
ten hard words for to every good one
spoken in his behalf. He was the very
synonym of mischief and audactv.
with modicum of sharp. native wit
that had grown with his growth in sue
cecding years. He cared precious little
about his books, as our experience will
testify in short term of pupilage in
our school directly after the surrender
To his credit we Will say he never for
rot his respect or obedience to us. and
an earnest request or calm statement of
the case would cause him to desst from
vctmiz'ng the smaller boys with his
tobacco juice or from playing clown in
the pantomime on the sly during school
hours, which was never-ceasing temp
tation to his keen sense of the ridicu-
lous. His good nature always cropped
out when suffering or trouble was
present.
The writer will never forget visit he
made to our house in the most rafting
period of his boyhood, to tell us he was
thankful and comforted to know we
were convalescing from serious illness
in which our life was desp4ired of, and
even a the time mention d we were
not fairly out of danger of an early and
untimely grave. The weather was Sc
we're, bitter, extremely cold, but the
young man brought his frank. bright
face into the sick-room like a veritable
ray of sunshine, to tell us that our
school-boys were all so glad we were
still alive. There was in him the germ
of something noble and elevated, and
when he joined the church, within half
mile OF our own door, at a little couu-
try chapel. we felt that the germ would
expand into something that would be
peculiarly his own-''he would either
make spoon or spoil horn" How
much spoon" last Sunday crowd can
tell.
Eight years ago. when he was peg

came aga'n to see us, to pay his re-

Some of the Pecuiiaritcs of the Great
Operate Composer.
From 1929 to 1860, with few evcep-.
tons, Meyerbeer passed the summer
months every year at Spa. An eye
witness thus describes him HE was
invariably dressed in an ill-ftting black
frock ,oat. with a black silk neckcloth
wound several times round his throat,
high and stiff shirt-collars, and tight
trousers with straps. His gloves were
many sizes too large for him. and he
wore a tall silk hat falling not overerace-
fully on the nape of his neck. He always
carried huge cotton umbrella under
his left arm when he didn't use it as a
walking stick. When on foot he sham
bled along with a tottering step as if he
were blind but his usual mode of loco
motion was an insecure seat on a
donkey his legs dangling almost on the
ground. in which guise he might reg

answer, "only the queer old fellow on a

Among the composer peculiarites was
horror of cats, the mere sight of one
throwing him into nervous fit. He
was as a rule silent in company, and
disliked being brought in contact with
inqu, sitive people. One of these

very recently been made in the Idahoan,

of ore appear to have converged into
one, eight feet wide in the face of the
