for face powder is "flakc- white" and
if lady goes into n drug store askino
for that article, she gets nothing but the
ordinary white lead, made from zinc.
In chalk, lime is a prclominating feature,
and can not help but be injurious to the
skin. A physician produced box of
powder which sold at tail at one dol.
lar and fifty cents, and then said it was
nothing but French chalk, pure and
simple, and that one cent would be nm
cxtortionaic price for the amount con-
tame in the box. lie was very sar.
castle over the recommendations from
noted chemists printed on the labels.
and over the testimonials from actresses
and singers. "rhc danger arising from
the use Of co;mctics," said the d octor
rs greatly ovcrlrawn. Face prcpara-
lions have Il legitimate use, and. propcrlv
used, are no more harmful than per
fumes. Zinc, when present in powders,
possesses some curative powers, and bis
muih is only slightly injurious. The
principal trouble is the continued app.i
cation of powders, and the stopping up
OF the capillarics of the face. Most face
powders are only zinc, bismuth, mag
ncsia, and chalk. Lead and mercury
seldom enter into them. These nre
more frequently found in washes, which
get their only merit from the glycerinc
or oil in which the clements are ground.
In all of them there is no difference cx-

Iuctcut Prohibition,

Prohibition TO n certain extent seems
to have found favor in The carly ares of
tho Roman Commonwealth No one
was then allowed TO drink wine until
the thirticth year had been attained. 1t
may have been that this stringent law
was due to the scar city of wine, though
it IS more probable that it had distinct
ly moral purpose. Still, it is certain
that, from whatever cause, tho ancient
sobricty of the Romans ceased as soon
ms the grape became abundant Pliny
tells us of men in polite society who
were not satisfied with merely getting
intoxicated at sitting, but sought TO
create new means of continuing their
rcvclrics. Mark Antony and the young
or Cicero were both celebrated drunk
ards. 1t is recorded of the Emperor Ii
herius that together with Pomponius
Flaccus and Lucius Piso he passed. two
entire days anil nights at table, and
showed his appreciation of their staying
qualities by bcstowing upon the one the
government of Syria AMI upon the other
the prefecture of the city. Seneca says
of Tiberius that he was drunk but once
in his life; that was from the moment he
first became intoxicated to the day OF
his death. 1t does not appear that the
Romans were acquainted with the distil-
lation of ardent spirits. Pliny speaks OF
kind of beer that was made by fer
menting several kinds of grain with wa
ter, and gives it as an instance of the
depravity of the times that men, not sat
isiicd with wine, contrived that even
water should contribute to incbriatc
them. -LippineOH.

Fleeing the UnMarY.

a clever rogue with n long list OF
victims is being sought by Chief Woods
detectives The fellow is known rs
the writing paper man." His dealings
have been principally with women.
and he has been successful in swind-
ling number of them. His game is
to visit small grocery stores where he
is likely to find two or three women.
He carries q large basket OF stationery
made up in small packages, and he
represents that each package contains
a money prize.
When he has secured desirable
audience he unfolds his scheme, and
when last heard of, he had operated in
n Philadelphia grocery. He had sew
eral women interested. and after he
had explained his system he got one of
tho ladies to draw package which he
presented to her. She found the par
eel to contain 81. A little girl who
was present was also given chance,
and with no trouble whatever, drew
25-cent silver piece. Another woman
picked out package, and she, too, re-
ceivcd q small sum. "They are all
filled like that" he said.
The woman who kept the store
wanted TO buy some, and he told her
that the only way he could make
money was by selling his goods in large
quantities. The price was 81 per
dozen packages, but he could not sell
less than five dozen. The woman laid
down So and received five dozen pack
ages. The smooth-tongued stranger
departed ut once, and tho woman took
her account of stock, finding she had
about 20 cents worth of very ordinary
paper, which is much more than she
will use in many years, but no money

down description of the swindler,
which she sent to tho police -Phila-

RI Story Of the German Emperor.
~ Berlin letter says: "Stories of the
German Emperor arc always abundant.
often uncompimcntary, and not infrc-
qucntly apocryphal. Here is one which
seems TO have rather better credentials
than usual. Ono day, it runs, lie in
vltcd young lieutenant, who is an cx-
cellcnt zithcr-player, to dinner. The
imperial family dimes at 9 o'clock, and
after dinner the officer gave little con-
cert on the either to their majcstics.
Toward 4 o'clock he asked pcrmi ssion
to retire. Why so soon'' gracously
asked the Emperor. Sire replied the
lieutenant, Il return to my garrison TO-
morrow, and have promised my sis Ter
to come and say good-by this afternoon
at her pcnsionnat You are good
brother, but before you go you must
take coffee with us. Twenty minutes
later the lieutenant went with his soycr
cign into the drawing-room, when,
whom should he see but his sister sitting
next TO the Empress, and surrounded by
three or four little princes. Like a
good German housewife, the Empress
herself poured out the coffee for her
visitors. The conversation, varied by
music, was prolonged till tho evening,
when the Emperor said to the two
young people that he would like to keep
them to supper; Offering his arm to the
girl, the Emperor led the way into the
dining-room, while the Empress fol-
lowed with the brother. 1t was very
simple meal which was placed before
them, consisting of Il dish of vegetable s
and piece of roast meat But it ap-
pcarcd that ii was rather more elaborate
than usual, for the amiabc Empress
said, laughingly, you must not thina
that we have always such luxurious sup
per5. 1t is only when we have visitors
that VIC arc so grand"

"Why do you blush like tEat?'
And seldom care to chat,

THE LADIES CLAIMED TIE STREETS.
The latlics of Sorrento, Fla, have
taken municipal affairs into their own
hands. The streets were dirty, the
land along the railroad track was
cloggcd, TIC town was disgrace, rs
they all declared. So the ladies me t
and organized. and the men were
drummed into service. On certain
morning at Z o'clock, they all met at
the schoolhousc with shovcls, rakcs,
wheclbarrows and hoes. Stumps were
burned, holes filled up, and streets were
put in order, men and women working
side by side. Great regard was had for
the effect to be produced on passing
travellers who looked from their car
windows, and the town was put in
special order on that side. Just before
noon the ladies retired and prepared
lunch in the schoolhousc, and then res O.
lutions were taken. What had turned
out to be jolly affair was to be hence
forth regarded as a sacred public duty.
They were to meet every second Satur-
day till the town was in perfect order,
ncighbors in the district were to be
asked to cooperate and nothing was to
be let undone, not only for Sorrento
but "that other villages might take
plttcrn and ar's, 10 clean and bcautify
their Stress These working days arc
to be hereafter known as Ladies' Field
DAYS.
