Nu,taches Fashionable for Women.

Plucking the hair out by the roots
does not destroy it, but rather in
creases its growth, the new hair be-
coming coarser all the time. The
best way to permanently get rid of
superhuous hair is to have it re-
moved by what is known as cleo
trolysis, which is done by inserting
a needle and turning on a current
from a battery, when the follicle is
destroyed. But, what is the use OF
giving recipes, since superiuous
hair is no longer superauous? Mus
taches are coming into fashion,
since queen wears one, and per-
haps boards will also have their day
on the feminine chin! The mani
cure box will have q rival; doubt
less it will fight hard to retain it's
place on the toilet table and in fem
inine hearts, but it will finally be
compelled to yield to box con-

Prince Rudolf's Mysterious Death.

Despite the lapse of time since
the death of Prince Rudolf of Aus
tria the mystery surrounding the
affair is still the foremost subject
of discussion and comment in the
Continental capitals, and the En-
peror Francis Joseph is gradually
coming to a realizing sense of his
sons iniquitous life. 1t is said that
the Emperor is very much dis
pleased with the intimate friends of
the Crown Prince for having con-
cealed the irregularities of his ca
reeI. Count Borbelles, the former
tutor of Rudolf, is especially blamed
for not having reported to the En-
peror many of the escapedes of his
pupil which came under his notice,
and that gentleman is consequently
out of imperial favor. Count Hoyos
is also an object of the Emperor's
displeasure. The Emperor has so
strongly recommended his joining
Cardinal Lavigerie's- anti-slavery
crusade in Africa that the Count
will scarcely hesitate to comply with
the suggestion, and he may be thank
full that he is let down so easy.
Prince Rudolf was addicted to re-
markable combinations of intoxi-
cants, his favorite drink being a
mixture of champagne and cognac.
concoction calculated to shatter
the nerves and addle the brain of a
Hercules. Of this compound he is
said to have absorbed great quanti-
ties in day, and his conduct on
several memorable occasions attests
the potency of this peculiar tipple.
His debts in Vienna amounted to
81 100000, though his allowance
from the Treasury was $3.50, 900 per
annum and his private income
100000. In come respects he was
very effeminate. Heinvariably wore
two enormous bracelets, and his
large collection of diamonds was
continually added to, as his means
would permit.-Corr. N. Y. Star.

Getting Even in Tennessee.

Two men in East Tennessee, Cap
tain Black and Colonel Gage, were
on their way to fight a duel when
they were overtaken by fellow
who told them that John Black, the
captains son, and Eve Gage, the
daughter of the colonel, had just
been married.
Colonel" said Black, "this news
ought to settle our little difficulty"
"Yes, / reckon it ought"
They accordingly went into a
still-house. Later in the day, some
one, in speaking to Black, said:
| Captain, I thought you were mad
enough with Gage to kill him?'
$50 l was, but my revenge is
sweeter. That boy of mine is the
no accountest human being l ever
saw"
The colonel, in speaking to the
same man, said:
"I'm glad didn't kill Black, for
I've got him in fouier way. If
that gal O mine don't lead his son
merry life, l don't want cent.
She's jest simply pisen."

Simplicity of Living.

What examples of simplicity
were those Of Sidney Smith, whose
society often attracted the wealthy
to share his single dish; Of Isaac
Newton. who lived in the plainest
way when thinking out his greatest
works; of Franklin in his early
life; of William Wadsworth; of
Socrates, who taught that "men
should abstain from meats which
might cause a man to eat who had
no need for food, or to drink with
out thirst" His wife, like many
before and since, expecting guests,
had made, she feared, inadequate
provision for them. He replied:
'If they be honest men it will be
enough; if not, what need we care
for them?" These are cases of sim
pie living but high thinking. Read
the lives of our great men," says
Professor J. B. Mayor, "read the
story of their greatness read of
Hannibal and St. Paul, Of Luther
and Newton, of Wesley and John
Howard, and you will find temper
ance simplicity at the root of all
their virtues"

Rev. SAM JONES, the famous
southern revivalist, is holding forth
in San Francisco. He delivered his
first sermon before a congregation
of 1000 people. He began his dis
course with a crusade against d.
vorce, which he said was the great
destroyer Of American homes and
a blight upon morality. He also
spoke of drunkenness as another
home-destroyer, and said: "a lit
tie of Gods nature was poured into
woman's heart when she clings
to a drunken husband"
The Rev. Sam Jones is no elocu-
zionist, does not attempt to use
rhetorical language nor affect dra-
matte style, yet his quaint homely
sermons have made many converts
where the eloquence and classical
language of an eminent pulpit ora
tor would fail.

Senator Blackburn Tells q Good Story
on Himself.

Not long ago Senator Blackburn
went out to Western Texas on q
pleasure excursion, and en- route
took in the Indian Territory. He
was SO pleased with its green, blue
grassy appearance that he conclud-
ed to make a horseback journey
through part Of it. One day, when
he was riding alone, taking in the
glories of the great pasture land, he
was overtaken by a well-mounted.

skin, who spoke little English.
"Cowman, eh?" was his first in

Kentuck: Ugh! You got some
whisky?"
The Senator had a small flask of
"Old Grow" in his side pocket and
Immediately produced it. In lit
tie time the aboriginal wanted
second drink, and finally the whole
flask; but after giving him two
small '.jiggers" the civilities were
brought to an end.
That evening, when the Senator
was in the public room of the hotel
at the little Texas town, he told
the circumstances of having met
the Indian, and said:
"In all my life l have never seen
any human being on God Almighty's
green earth that ever had a tithe Of
the appreciation for a bottle of
whisky that this redskin manifested.

Bstablishing . Finishing School In the
Arts Of HouseWife1y.

1t is said that Mrs. General Lo-
gan is busying herself abroad in
looking into scheme which she
thinks-if she finds it practicable
of carryingint0 execution when she
returns to this country. In Ger
many there is a custom which
sounds almost as if it were a sur
vival from the Middle Ages, when
boys were sent to the great families
to be trained as pages, and girls
learned to spin, sew, embroider,
brew and bake under the supervision
of a chatelaine of a castle. This
custom, in its modern form, is to
send girls, after they have finished
school. to live a year in the house
hold of some noted housewife, who
teaches them all the accomplish
ments which It's held fitting a haus-
mutter should acquire. Many
women in Germany who are learned
in all domestic matters, but who
are left widowed and in need of
money, keep their homes in this
way. They take as inmates young
ladies, who are given year of train
ing in housekeeping. They are
taught all the mysteries of wash
ing paint SO that it will not peel
of sweeping carpets SO that the nap
is not taken away with the dust.
They learn how floors should be
waxed to look like glass, and old
mahogany polished to resemble a
mirror; how silver should be clean
ed and china and glass properly
washed; what will soonest cleanse
and brighten mirrors and windows
how lamps are kept in order, and
what is the secret of properly laun-
dried linen. They learn how to
market, to choose the best meat,
fish and vegetables, and how they
should be cooked to be tender and
we'll favored. Their pastry falls
into fakes at touch, their bread
and rolls are light and sweet. They
know how to can, preserve and bot
tie all sorts of fruits and vegetables,
and just how tables should be set,
dinners served, and wines cooled.
They know the art of bed-making,
dusting, packing, arranging closets
and regulating servants work, and
they are taught all the important
rudiments of needle-work. At the
end of the year they were fitted to
run house economically, literally,
and with oiled wheels warranted not
to squeak. This is the system Mrs.
Logan is making a study, and her
idea is to found just such a home

the suggestion that marriage is a
failure. She thinks, it is said, of
founding the home here or in Chi
cago, and has already some twenty
young women promised her to be-
gin with. She does not propose to
make the year all work and no play.
The home is to be big, handsome
house, fitted with every comfort,
supplied with books and music, and
the girls are to find that part of the
curriculum is in learning through
practical experiments how to en-
tertain in every fashion. Mrs. Lo-
gan is woman of great energy and
executive ability, and if the under
takes this project she may be trusted
to carry it out with beneficial re-

THE FOE TO sTIMULANTs.

Every nutritious and healthful
meel, neatly spread and partaken
with thankfulness is temperance
lesson. Every well-built house with
conveniences for doing work easily
and without waste of force, with
well-arranged kitchen, bathrooms,
sunny windows and good ventila-
ton is temperance sermon. Every
vegetable garden, rich with nutri-
tious food, and every fruit farm
abounding in luscious apples, pears,
peaches and grapes is foe to in
temperance. Every school where
there is no overcrowding, where the
brain is properly taken care of, SO
that it shall not be deranged, pro-
notes temperance. On the other
hand, everything that tends to lower
human vitalisy-over-work, over
study, too little sleep, too little
work and especially bad food-all
prolong the time when intemper-
ance will promote its evil effects.
Every bad cook who prepares un-
sayory, indigestible meals, creates
a demand for stimulants.
Good cooking is one of the most
effective means of sitting craving
for drink, which is the root OF 50
much evil. Drink-craving, in truth,
depends as often as not on causes
of a purely physical nature.
So l repeat what l said before
that the greatest foe to intemper-
ance is the sanitarian, the health
reformer, and especially the santa
ry cook, who lead people into
healthful habits of eating and drink
ing, of working and sleeping, OF re-
creation and study.
The practice of drinking hot wa
ter on rising and an hour before
meals cannot be too highly COM
mended. If there is fountain OF
youth in fact as we'll as fable, it is
to be found in the proper use OF
hot water. The individual will find
himself wholly made over, so to
speak; renewed, invigorated sleep
ing the sleep of childhood and feel
ing the elastic activity Of earliest
youth. Hot water, drunk on rising.
an hour before breakfast; again,
before luncheon and before dinner,
and on retiring, is simply an elixir
of life. 1t may be justly designated
as the one most valuable hygiene

has for some time been conducting a

City of Mills and has become notorious
as a bootlegger. Information was yes

THE CITY COUNCIL.
Special Meeting Last Evening-Little
ACCOMPLISHED.

The special council meeting called
Friday evening to reconsider the ordin-
nances passed at the previous session
was largely attended. A number OF
citizens were present including the
committee appointed by the insurance
men and loan agents. This class OF
business men think themselves unjustly
treated in having a license imposed
upon their business and it was their
cause in particular that the council
was to consider.
All the members of the council were
present except White, who was out OF
town. Upon the meeting being called
to order the agents had their cause pre-
sented by Mr.. W. G. Cowles, chairman
of the committee. He made a careful
statement Of the case and believed that
injustice was being done him and his
fellow business men by imposing a
license upon them.
RIM. White next presented the Elec-
trio Light company's side. The tax
would tend to raise rates and make
light more expensive.
B. c. Cranston spoke for the in
surance men. 1t would not affect them
at all personally but would raise rates
and the people would suffer. He be-
lieved that such taxes should be re-
sorted too only in the last extremity
position Abilene had by no means
reached.
w. P. Seeds and Hiland Southworth
also opposed the tax on the same
grounds.
Messrs. Jacobs, Howard, Smalley
and Winfield made remarks, all OF
them thinking that only as a last re-
sort should such taxes be imposed.
City Attorney Crawford was called
on and spoke at some length, giving
the rules and customs of insurance
companies on such matters.
Councilman Winfield then made a
motion that the operation of the ordi-
nance be suspended for ten days in
order to give the members time to fully
investigate and consider the matter.
Before any extended discussion could
be had, the fire bell rang and the
motion was hurriedly carried, after
which an adjournment was taken until
the 18th, when definite action will be
decided npOn.

enough to make agreeable the hours an

wonderfully. The guests will not be
inclined to purchase candy for few
days so bountifully were they treated
