The "Elsphant Man. /"

He was afflicted with two terrible de-
formities-overgrowth of certain bones
and q severe skin disease of disfguring
nature. Two enormous bony outgrowths
developed on his forehead, and the bones
OF the upper jaw, right arm and both
feet were.of great size. The skin disease
consisted OF wart like masses, quite su-
pertictal on some parts, but forming
large excrescences on the back of the
head and loins. The skin formed large
loose flaps on, the right side of the chest
and the lower part of the back. The
eyelids, ears, left arm and other parts
remained free from the skin disease.
The high masses of bone on the fore
head, with the prominent nose and lip,
which hung downwards, owing to over
growth of the skin, gave an elephantine
appearance to the features. The head,
during the last three or four years, grew
80 heavy that at length tho man had
great difficulty in holding 1t up. He
slept IN crouching position, with his
hands clasped over his legs and his head
on his knees. There can be no doubt
that the weight of the head killed him,

low was grateful. intelligent and inter-
esting. British Medical journal.

Tho Care Of tho Facn.

You want to keep your skin nice all
summer? Well, then, here are some
rules for you:
Don't battle in hard water; softenj it
with few drops of ammonia or little
borax.
Don't bathe your face while it is very
warm, and never use very cold water
for it.
Don't wash your face when you are
travelling, unless it is with little alco-
hol and water or little vaseline.
Don't attempt to remove dust with
cold water; give your face hot bath,
using plenty of good soap, then give it a
thorough rinsing with water that has
had the chill taken off it.
Don'trub your face with coarse towel;
Just remember it is not made of cast
iron, and treat it as you would the finest
porcelain-gently and delicately.
Don't use sponge or linen rag for
your face; choose instead flannel one.
Don't believe you can get rid Of wrin-
Hes by filing in the creyices with pow
der. Instead, give your face Russian
bath every night-that is, battle it with
water so hot that you wonder how you
can stand it, and then a minute after
with cold water that will make it glow
with warmth; dry 1t with q soft towel
and go to bed, and you ought to SLEEP
like baby, whileyoursslkin is growing
6rmer andbecoming free from wrinkles.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE IS, 1890.

Difference in the LILO of Men and Women
The ordinary woman arises from her
bed in the morning, makes the daily
round of her duties,,sets her house in
order, gets her children of to school and
settles down for a, quiet day of sewing
or reading. Oman occasional afternoon
she makes shopping excursion or scores
OF q list of calls. She moves generally
among the sameset of people. Day after
day she stays within the home walls and
sees only the familiar family friends, the
postman, the grocer boy, with now and
then the extraordinary excitement of a
day with the dressmaker.
What contrast to this humdrum is
the daily existence of the man. His
journey to town by steam or horse car,
or his walk along the busy street, is full
Of incident and of interchange. Before
he has reached his place of business in
the morning he has, perhaps, discussed
the topics of the day with half dozen
different persons. His daily occupation
brings him into contact with men of
dozen different nations, Of a dozen diff
ferent creeds, In dozen different strata
Of society. he may not be aware of it,
but there is in his mind constant sift-
ing analysis, Judgment of human char
aeter. The constant g5ifting of the
kaleidoscope shows him les in all sorts
Of combinations, broadens his views and
takes from him that intensity of feeling
which belongs to narrowness and helps
to set aside personal feeling in forming
his opinions. Good Housekeeping.

SENATOR INGALLS,, Of Kansas, wants
another term, and wants it bad enough
to promise the earth to whoever may
ask it in exchange for vote. In let
ter to a representative of the Kansas
Farmers Alliance, an organization that
has accused him of all manner of sins of
omission and commission against the
farmers, he intimates that he is opposed
to the national banking system and
avows his faith in the efficacy of free
coinage, while he also affirms his belief
in the necessity of tariff revision. Upon
the first and the last of these three prop
ositions, however, the senator expresses
himself in a way that will not prevent
his taking the back track at any time
such move may seem necessary. In
deed, the statement that he is in favor
Of tariff revision is distinctly Delphic.
The protectionist, judging by the sena-
tors record, will interpret it to mean
that he is in favor of higher duties on
agricultural implements, on window
glass, on railroad iron, on wooden cloths,
and other commodities necessary to the
comfort Of the people and the develop
ment of the west. while the credulous
applicant for lower tariff will construe
the senator's phrases as committing him
to that policy. Mr.. Ingalls, is just now
giving his great imitation of man rid.

all the fashionable restaurants, an inveter-
ate sportsman, and an accomplished
gambler. He moved only in good society;
that is to say, that society of Paris which
has become mixed by the invasion of rich
foreigners. He never compromised him
self by keeping questionable company. He
talked little, but was great observer. In
stature he was small, and wore short
whiskers which chemistry kept dark, and
in his general makeup he managed to con-
ceal five or six of the years which belonged
to him, and which really amounted to
about 40. But for all that he was quite a
polite fellow and extremely obliging. He
always received with discretion the little
discreet salutes of the people whom he had
| obliged.
1t was known to everybody that he was
the king of pickpockets, and by no means a
lazy or idle king. He kept under his orders
quite an active corps of operators, who
humbly bowed to his authority. past

glance, he watched the winning players.
and noticed the careless way in which they
put away their money, generally in ac-
cessible pockets. Then to his subjects he
pointed out his Victims and the precise
pockets to be operated upon. BY this meth
cd the expeditions sent out by him rarely
failed. Whenever it happened that docu-
ments or compromising letters were taken
by his men he always had them returned,
for he never permitted blackmail. He re-
garded that as beneath the dignity of his
profession.

he will have his valise," said Fred; and he
kept his word.
The reason why Fred lived in France was
because England, his native country. had
become too hot for him. Penal servitude
awaited him there; but just why he was not

The foul wrong heaped upon the peo-
pie of Montana by the republican party
in the United States senate will not be
wiped out until the two men, who have
obtained seats in the senate by fraud
are made to feel the ignominy Of their
position. Among law abiding people
under republican form Of government
there is but one way to redress public
wrongs, and that is by an appeal to the
ballot box. The great mass of our peo-
pie, irrespective of party, feel that a
great crime has been committed against
the suffrage, and we believe they will
give voice to that opinion in no uncer-
tain tones at the next popular election.
The democrats of Montana should go be-
fore the people this fall in the congress
ionai contest on that sole issue. 1t
should be such campaign as Montana
has never seen, from start to finish.
First of all there should be a sinking of
all personal ambition. Next, thorough
organization in state, county, town and
ward. Let every democratic voter take
it upon himself to enlist some other
voter in the great cause in order that
we may give such rebuke to the ballot
thieves that their crime will never be
repeated in this generation.

New York Sun: On one occasion, when
with the government survey party in Texas,
man rode into our camp on mule and
gave us the news that band of Indians had
| attacked rancher about seven miles away.
We made up party of twelve soldiers and
civilians and covered the distance as fast as
our horses could go. Sure enough, there
were fifteen or twenty Indians besieging a
cabin, and they We're just getting ready to
set fire to it by backing up wagon loaded
tured six ponies, and the others were not
yet out of sight when the settler opened his
door and stepped out, followed by his wife.
He had rifle and she a shotgun, and the
first words the man said were:
Now, you dog-goned ,onery lot, but what

Origin of "Robbing Peter to Pay Paul

Origin of "Robbing Peter to Pay Paul."
This expression arose thus: On Decem
Der, II, 1910, the abbey church of St. Peter,
Westminster, was advanced to the dignity
Of cathedral by letters patent; but ten
years later it was joined to the diocese of
London again, and many of its estates
appropriated to the repairs of st. Paul's
Cathedral. One hundred years later, in
1910, we find in "Out1andish Prov
erbs,'' selected by. Mr.. George Herbert,
priest and poet of classic renown, the sup
ject of one of "Walton's Lives" the prov
erb altered and set forth as follows: "Give
not St. Peter SO much, to leave St. Paul
nothing" This proverb is quoted by Fran
els Rabelais early in the sixteenth century.
Upon the death of William Pitt, Earl of
Chatham, in 177s, each of the metropolitan
cemeteries laid claim to the honor of burial.
The city of London argued that so great a
statesman as William Pitt should be buried
in st. Paul's, while parliament took the
or ound that the dust of SO great man as
he should come near to the dust of kings,
and that not to bury him in Westminster
to pay st. Paul"
