The childlike assum ption that this
fact takes the report out OF the domain
Of rumor and gives il tho weight OF
truth is almost too beatific for this sub
lunary sphere. In order to apprehend
its full force and beauty one ought to
read It in the light Of recent proceed
ings illustrative OF the noble trust
worthiness Of Republican court officials
In this same State OF Florida.
In the Northern district OF Florida
one Charles Swayne is the United States
Judge, holding Office by virtue OF ap-
pointment from President Harrison.
The marshal OF the district Is John r.
Mizell, also . Republican. The latter
has very naturally turned his attention
with considerable zeal-having been
appointed with that Understandings
the ferreting out Of alleged Democratic
frauds on the baliot-box. In starting
out on his quest he was struck with the
desirability Of packing the jury-box
with Republicans. so that his prosecu-
tions might not fail through any such
accident as the lack OF evidence. To Sc
cure this result he wrote the following
letter TO one Of his tools:

cality was offered in evidence on the
trial OF the case against the alleged per-
petrators OF fraud at the polls. il having
already been shown that twenty-five out
Of the twenty-thrcc members OF the
grand jury were Republicans and that

A TreacherOus Memory.

Mr. Brown, of Detroit. has very
treacherous memory. If Brown were
addicted TO borrowing money it would
be a very bad thing for his friends, for
he would never remember his indebt-
edness, even though he were honest
enough TO pay. Perhaps that is the
reason Brown never borrows anything
if he can help it. He knows his weak
ness and doesn't take any chances.
The other day Brown was at we'll
known restaurant in the city of Detroit,
and he got away with thirty-cent din
ner. He pulled out a so bill and
offered it to the cashier at the desk
The cashier looked over the change and
finally said that she could not change
the bill, and remarked that it did not
matter; he could pay the thirty cents
the next time he was in, for Brown was
a regular frequenter of that restaurant.
Next day he came and next, and next,
ard next. but never thought of pay
ing the bill. The cashier. who was
a modest young lady, hated to ask him
for the thirty cents, thinking he would
suggest the thing himself, but he did
not do it. Finally she spoke to the
proprietor of the restaurant.
"Mr. Brown" she said. owes thirty
cents for lunch he had here the other
day, and he has not offered to pay it.
Had better remind him of it"
"Well," said the proprietor. "you
must do it rather carefully, you know /:
he might take offense A man never
likes TO he reminded of debt that he
owes. Perhaps L had better speak to
him about it."
Then the young lady called the wal
ter who generally attended on Mr..
Brown, and said
did that gentleman, who has Just
gone out, pay you for dinner that he
had here the other day."
"No," answered the waiter. she did
not"
We'll, he owes us thirty cents, and
i don't know whether to speak to him
or not"
why, | should speak to him at
once" said the waiter, IF I we've you.
I'll speak to him. if you like"
We'll, we had better wait and see
what the proprietor says first"
Next day when Brown came in and
went to pay his bill the cashier said in
he,i.ating voice:
You remember, Mr.. Brown, that
there was thirty cents due for lunch
the other day."
BLESS my SOUL said Brown, sur
prised, so there was. L didn't pay
that, did II"
mo" she answered. "you did not.
well, well, take it out of this" and
Brown paid his bill.

recognized as Dora Cheney; the other
was well-dressed stranger, who i'm
proved the opportunity to press kiss

sisted her into a waiting buggy. This
proceeding so engrossed the attention
of the solitary figure that he did not
notice the rapid approach of a man
from the opposite direction, equally in
tent as himself upon the scene across
the street.

recoil, a glare of recognition, and

sented us some strange things to be-
lieve. Noted beauties have been men,
toned as having taken baths OF wine,
of asses milk, of milk and honey, and
many other things to preserve their
charms
1t is said by historians that some OF
the renowned beauties bathed in dew,
collected by slaves, and others again
in rain water, and so on through all the
possible things in creation. 1t Is even
related of one great beauty that she
was bathed every day in fresh bull
locks blood while it was yet warm.
1t would occupy the whole LEDGER
to recount the stories current of the
ridiculous ideas held by the ancients as
to different means to preserve or re-
store their charms, and few of them
would be of service in the light OF sci
ence
The most of the so-called cosmetics,
from the very beginning of the use of
them, we're based upon poi sonous sub
stances, just as they are to-day. and
we read in book on Egypt that
paste made of an arsenical preparation
was used over four thousand years
ago, and from that time to the present
day women have been using all kinds
of preparations offered for sale by
conscienceless persons, the most of
them made of most dangerous min
erals
1t would be curious study to show
in what beauty consists, according TO
different ideas, in different countries,
though, according to their lights, the
women in each do the most they can to
render themselves attractive, and in
all countries women have, and always
will, rely upon the use of cosmetics
of one kind or another TO enhance
their charms or conceal the ravages of
time.
To impress upon those who may read
this series of articles the fact that they
are taking their lives, even, into their
hands, to say nothing of eventually
running whatever good looks they had
i'll the beginning, we shall tell them
something of the materials which enter
into the compromising of the various
preparations now In the market, and
which are said (by the makers) to be
entirely harmless.
All of the so-called creams, and lily
balms, and such like liquids, are of ne
cessity based uron white lead, and are.
beyond measure, injurious to health
and beauty. The commonest kind of
flake white Is generally used In their
manufacture, and what is in one bottle,
for which the buyer pays from - cents
to 81, costs but the fraction of penny
Rose-water. diluted with pure water,
fills the rest of the bottle. The bottle
must be well shaken before using. as
the lead settles to the bottom, and the
water then takes the appearance of
cream, which is applied to the face
with sponge, which is exactly the
same thing as painting door or wall,
in effect, and dead white is the re-
suit, which is unnatural and ugly.
Some of them have drop or two of
cochineal added, which gives a so-called
flesh tint which is as glaring as the
white in its unnaturalness.- Emma

1himble-Rich.

We have somewhere read of an Eng
lishm' who was knighted for introducing
wheelbarrows in army intrenchment
work, and was known afterward as the
wheel baronet." A thimble--as any 9TH
or really useful nrticle--would do credit
to coat-of-arms, though we are not told
here that its inventor ever mounted it
that way.
There is rich family of the name OF
Lofting in England, the fortune Of
whose house VAS originally founded by
such an apparently insignificant thing as
the thimble.
The first ever seen in England was
made In London less than two hundred
years ago by metal worker named John
Lofting. The usefulness of the al ticle
commended it at once to all who used the
needle, and Lofting acquired large for
tune.
The implement was then called the
thumbbell as it was worn on the thumb
when in use, and its shape suggested
the rest of the name. This clumsy mode
of utilizing it was soon changed. however,

II am sorry to interrupt You, Mr..
Brown. but You owe us thirty cents for

"Oh, that's all right" said Brown. IL
had forgotten entirely about it. Well,
here you are, quarter and a nickel,
thatll make il square, won't it?"
"That1l be all right, Mr.. Brown"
said the proprietor, as he pocketed
the cash.
The day following Mr.. Brown took
his lunch at his usual table, and the
waiter, seeing it was a good oppor-
tunity, and having noticed that he did
not pay his thirty cents at the cashiers
desk the day before, said:
Mr.. Brown, you remember the
thirty-cent check you owed two or three
days ago?'
"No," said Brown, II don't. What
about it,"
Well" said the waiter, "you didn't
have the money to pay it that day"
Hadn't I?" said Brown. swell. I
will pay it to you now, and that will
make us all right, won't it,"
Certainly" said the waiter, and
Brown for the third time forked over
the thirty cents.
AS Brown was paying his check that
day the waiter planked down the
thirty cents which he had just collected
and said:
That's for Mr.. Browns lunch the
other day"
What other day." said the proprie-
tor. who stood there.
why, Mr.. Brown owed us thirty
cents, you know"
why, he paid that to me, said the
cashier.
"Yes, but he paid it to me, too" said
the proprietor.
And 80, as Brown frequented an hon
est restaurant, he got sixty cents back,
whereas his poor memory might have
cost him that sum of money.-DetrOit

In waterproof and rubbers, and, ac-
companied by Jack Bronson, started
home. Jack was not at all pleased
with the scene he had witnessed upon
entering the telegraph office, and de-
termined to intimate TO Dora that the
frequent presence of that brakeman in
the telegraph office was very
distastefil to him; but Dora pratt
tied on SO prettily that he hadn't
the heart to chide her. BY the time
they had reached the Cheney mansion
and were seated before a bright fire,
he had nearly made up his mind to let
the matter go, when, by happy in
spiration, he saw an easy way out OF
the difficulty.
Dora, said he, suddenly will you
marry mel"
Dora was so startled by this abrupt
question that she was unable to reply for
a moment, and Jack, remembering the
old adage that silence gives consent"
concluded she was too much overcome
with emotion to speak, and so put his
arm around her waist reassuripgly.
MIR. Bronson, said Dora, rising to
her feet, Il am very sorry. j never
meant to encourage you to think We
could ever be more than friends
Jack was completely overw helmed
by this unexpected reply. He, too,
rose to his feet.

else has won your Affections"
Dora made no reply.
"Then" continued Jack, in the most
sarcastic tone he could command, L
am sure / wish you much JOY, but l
must confess am little surprised at
your choice" And he walked majes-
tically forth, slamming the door as he
went, leaving Dora standing in the
middle of the floor, speechless with in
dignation.
Not until he had nearly reached the
end of his run that night had Jack
passed through successive stages of
