sometimes very large sums Of counterfeit

brown blotches on her face. The doctors say
they never can be removed and 1 am just
twenty. They could not even tell the cause.
Some say liver" others weakness" and
have used so much truck" 1 am 10th to try
again. My friends tell me am very foolish to
let such tribes worry me-" Trifes, indeed.
Would thousand dollars tempt any one Of
them to submit to such trifes as brown spots
on the cheeks and nose2 l feel at times that
cannot meet strangers, for one day girl said,
why, what are those spots on your face2 1
never knew they we're on any ones but mar
ried woman's. I felt like crying all day and
think of it often" Such girls ought to be put
out OF the way, where tLey can do no harm by
their ignorant foolish speeches These discol-
orations have nothing to do with married or
on children under ten years old and green girls
who make such speeches betray a good deal
too much knowledge in some direction and a
great want OF Information and good feeling in
Others. Now, here comes something rather
pleasant to read after that horrid girl: .'An
admlrer OF mine recently called for me to take
ride, and before leaving the house peeped
in the mirror and must have looked very Sc
rlous, as the spots showed in spite of the pow
der. After We were seated he said: Now you
must tell me what is worrying you, for there is
something, and I've noticed it more lately
answered candidly: My face is SO disfgured.
He tried to smile, but saw I was serious and
said: i think those spots look worse to you
than to others, and you are foolish to let them
worry you when your other qualities and
graces more than make up for Them But
am afraid he will become as tired of them as
am, for once he said: L know you would be
much prettier if they were gone. but you can't
help them and they don't WORRY me- so you
must not care But do care more than ever
now, and must try again.
SOME REMEDIES
That dear little girl don't wonder the young
man likes her in spite of the brown spots on
her face, which one feels sure must be very
sweet one. And he must be a good fellow, too
to meet 80 trying matter so candidly and
kindly. woman might be willing to wear a
moth patch or two for the sake of trying and
gaming such a whole-hearted lover, especially
as the brown spots are durable without the need
OF taking SO much doctors truck" This
Michigan Rose should take vapor baths weekly
or twice week, and steam her face daily over
boiling water as hot as possible not for immedi-
ate bleaching but to stimulate the skin. She
should live on fruit juices and green vegetables
largely. taking taraxacun charcoal, pepsin and
rhubarb pills. A lotion of grains corrosive
sublimate, 4 drachm tincture of benzine, and
ounce of almond emulsion may be applied
twice day, by wet linen allowed to lie on the
spot for fifteen minutes. More depends on
personal habits than medicine in such cases.
Special advice is always needed.

CASH PAID FOR CATS SKINS.
How Poor Pussy Assumes the Role of
Fur-Bearing Animal.

"Cash paid for cats skins" the sign read in
the window of Washington furrier who AS
tonished the newspaper man by telling him
that there was always a good market for pus-
sizes pelts.
Five cents apiece" he said, sis what we paw
for common skins. 10 cents for maltese pure
and IS cents for black. OF course they
must be in good condition. Some male cats
are so given to back-fence warfare that their
hides become considerably damaged. The fur
of the sleek and well-fed domestic pussy is
what we find most available for our purposes.
street cats are usually too ragged and coarse
haired TO be useful"
And what are the purposes Of which you
speak,
The imitation Of more expensive furs-
chiefly. The French dye them very skillfully,
and in that way transform the humble tabby
after death into the regal ermlne or other beast
Of rare and costly skin. The pure black and
maltese, and the tortoise shell are not
natural colors. Rugs Of selected
tortoiseshell and maltese are already becoming
quite fashionable, and the best ones are far
from cheap. The only use made Of cats pelts
IN this country is in the manufacture of car
riage robes, but vast numbers of them are
sent from the United States to Europe. where
they are made into coats, hats. rugs, dressing
gown Innings and other garments.
STUFFED KIrrESs.
Taxidermists, too, in other parts of the CONN.,
try are advertising for kittens by tho thousand
for stufhng. In the process they enplov the

they sewn up and the animal formed into any
desired position. The final operation is mt
ting in the eyes. Fastened upon a scrap Of red
flannel In this manner, a small black kitten
makes q very pretty pen-wiper."
But where do all the skins come fror2,
''Many are brought in to the city estab,isb-
ments that advertise for them by small how
who are glad to earn pocket money by the com
paratively easy method Of assassinating A few
unfortunate cats; but the main supply is con-
tributed by professional fur collectors in DIFF
ferent parts Of the country, who shoot
them. The ravine woods OF New England
are full Of them running wild. They
breed wonderfully fast under such
seemingly-adverse conditions and can
be popped of the fences and walls with ease by
an expert marksman- This Is an idle season
just now and we are advertising for them as

fall trade. first-rate lap robe Of catskin is
worth go or $50. Yes, indeed. pussy is begin
ming TO be recognized as fur-bearing animal.
and, instead of drowning the kittens, people
Will before long be propagating them for their
pelts."

The Baby nf fhe Phnnnpranh-
