To Cure Black Heads.

Pink wants to know how to cure en-
larged pores of the face, black heads and
dark rings round the eyes. All three
symptoms combined show a system very
much out of order. There must be i'm
mediate and thorough reform in habits,
coarse, laxative diet and medicines,
washing the face with borax water many
times day, and when dry rubbing it
softly but firmly with a rubber hand
brush.
This is nice thing for the complexion
in all cases, whether to remove the shiny
look left by washing with soap and to
give the velvety finish (Which it does bet
ter than channels skim or to clear the
enlarged pores of secretions. Mild fric-
ton with it improves the action of the
skin and reduces the pores. Blackheads
indicate a constipated condition, com
plete relief of which is the only perma-
nent cure for these unaghtly spots. The
dark circles round the eyes will prob
ably disappear with the other symp-
toms.-Shirley Dare

Johnny Feeds the Bear.

There was a Sunday school excursion
from Wilmington to the Geological gar
dens recently, and one of the happiest
boys in the party was 12-year-old John
Conway. 1t was his first visit. and he
took in the sights with open eyed won
der. He fed the elephants his last cake,
spent his final nickel for peanuts to
throw to the prairie dogs, and he fairly
dubbed over with excitement when he
reached the bear pits and looked down
at the funny antics of the animals.
Seeing the open spaces on the lower
side of the pit, Johnny stole away from
his companions and took position by
which he could look through the bars.
In an evil moment the lad turned his
head to look at something behind him.
when one of the bears caught glimpse
of his finger protruding through the
bars, and moment later the digit was
transferred to bruins stomach. The
boys screams attracted the attention of
one of the guards, and he was sent to
the German hospital for treatment

The King of Dahomev.

The king of Dahomey is a man of edu-
cation and accomplishments. He was
reared in Paris, and much money was
spent and careful attention lavished
upon his instruction. But in an evil
hour he fell in love with Partisan beau
ty, and because she would not have him
the young man made up his mind that
the life Of barbarian was preferable to
that Of a civilized and enlightened be-
ing. He bade eternal adieu, therefore,
to the classics, the arts and the sciences,
and zealously set himself to the pursuit
Of a barbarian career. His most remark
able reform as king of Dahomey was to
surround himself with bodyguard of
strapping women, regular amazons who
rode horseback man fashion, used the
bow and spear and welded the battle
ak with singular dexterity. His majesty
has theory that these women are bet
ter fighters than men, and are more like
ly to be loyal to his interests. A contin-
gent Of these amazons is to be brought
to London soon and shown to the public
in the French exhibition now in course
of preparation in that city. Berlin

A Disease Imported from India

The Brooklyn health department. has
found case of a disease said to be rare
in this country. Its name is beriberi
and its home is India. One of the char
acteristics of the disease is drowsiness,
and on the African coast it is known as
"the sleeping sickness" In fatal cases
death generally results from exhaustion
or syncope. 1t is not contagious in this
climate, and no danger is to be feared
from its appearance. The vehicle of its
westward journey was the ship J. c.
Warus, from Macassar, in the Dutch
East Indies, which arrived at Brooklyn
Monday. A sick man on board was
taken to the Long Island College hos
pital, and DR.. Henry Bu1lwinkle learned
that on May 90 the captain, H. Warus,
died at sea, and that on June 10 H. Halt
man, the first mate, died. The man at
the hospital proves to have beriberi, and
DR.. Bullwinkle believes the other two
died from it.-Exchange

Born with Teeth.

Some time since Mrs Carl Kimble, of
No. A Kindel avenue, gave birth to
twins The doctors who were in attend
ance at the birth of the babes noticed
that they were exceptionally large and
well developed. Greatly to their sur
prise, upon examining one of the twins
it was discovered that it possessed two
large lower front teeth, which are at
least an eighth of an inch in length and
perfectly formed. The teeth are Of a
pearly wilderness, and look as natural as
those of child or 8 years old. This is
a rare occurrence, and similar one has
never been recorded before. There have
been cases where there was one tooth
when single child was born, but never
before when there were twins.-Cincin-
natl Enquirer.

A Straight Story,

There was one legged man at the
Brush street depot the other day who
was asking for aims, and who claimed
that his leg had been bitten off by Il
shark. One of the men accosted looked
hin over and said:
II saw you in Buffalo about a month
ago, and you then told me that an ALI
gator bit your leg off"
Yes"
Il saw you in Cleveland last week, ard
you then claimed to have fallen under a
street car"
YES"

well, now, tell me how you really
did lose your leg and Ill give you a

Yes"
We'll, sir, jumped in front of a
moving machine to save the lives of
five or six little children, and while
lost my leg not one of them got a
scratch"

Inspection of Summer Resorts.

In choosing a resort for summer one
does not omit questions as to how far it
is to church or station, whether 6 o'clock
dinner is served or there are spring mat
tresses on each couch-matters of Just
interest and comfort. But add such per
tinent inquiries as these: Do you serve
oatmeal or cracked wheat for breakfast?
Can have brown bread and fruit three
times day! Have you water filter in
good condition? How far is the well or
the water supply from the cesspool and
drains? And last, but not least, have
you well ventilated earth closet? All
boarding houses and summer resorts
should be visited monthly by sanitary
inspector with power to enforce neces-
sary improvements for the health of in
mates. The Catskills and the north
shore demand supervision in this way
just as much as Mulberry street, Baxter
street and South Fifth avenue, those

SHARK and Porpoise r1,lht.

Monday morning at o'clock while,
the bathers at Avalon, n. J., were enjoy
ing bath IN the surf, which Is permitted
below the hotel up to s o'clock in the
morning, large school Of porpGses made
dash up the coast Just behind the
breakers. There was over hundred of

and many a bloody conflict ensues be-
tween these robbers of the great deep
when they meet on common feeding
ground. In front of the hotel there is
considerable depth of water, and the Dor
polses came SO near that many of them
could have been reached with a fishing
rod.
suddenly, as the school Of porpoises
were tumbling over each other in plav.
four foot shark made dash out of the
water, pursued by ten foot porpoise.
The porpoise succeeded in biting piece
out OF the man-eater and made vicious
plunge at the shark in mid air. while the
sea became red with blood.
Both fish were in duel to the death.
Neither tried to escape. The shark was
the swiftest in motion, but was an I'M
equal antagonist. The porpoise would
dive under him and strike him in the
belly under water, to the great discom-
fort of the man-eater, whose jaws were
not big enough to make much impress
sion on the tough hide of the slippery
sea hog. Three times they met in mid
air, and struck each other as two bull
elks butt each other with their autlers.
The porpoise slowly retired ten feet.
and with the swiftness of lightning
struck the shark in the middle and rip
ped him open. The man-eater soon float
ed dead but on the sea, while the por-
poise, badly hurt, followed his compan-
ions up Townsend inlet.-Cor. Philadel-

the point palmer yet imagine this schol-

hence, and as having dug up from the
ruins OF Buffalo a perfectly preserved
newspaper of the date June 21, 1890. In
archaeological ecstasy he seats himself
amid the ruins of the soldiers monu-

proceeds to read:

another died at third" and how several

From the perfectly preserved record
Of their sports it may be asserted with
out qualification that the Americans
were the most brutalized and blood
thirsty people who ever laid claim to anv
degree OF enlightenment. The arenic
sports OF Rome were less debasing. and
showed far greater regard for human
life. In the priceless Ancient Print col

record of one of the Bisonic fete DAYS.
1t is matter of fact in tone, yet the old
chronicler was gifted with rare skill,
for, like Homer, he pictures the most
thrilling events in the simplest language.

there were giants in those days. They

one of his pots just outside of Fishers

Lost His Clothes.

A well known young calico jerker for
a dry goods house in this city secured a
bewitching bathing costume from below
few days ago, and privately informed
few of the boys that he was going up
the creek to wet it" ON the following
night, and that was just where he was
wrong. Whether the boys were Jealous
or whether they objected to the devia-
ton from long established rules of Chico
swimming holes we cannot determine;
at any rate they laid for their comrade
when he appeared in his gay pink and
white costume.
The wetting was all right, but when
he came in out of the wet he found to his
horror that his store clothes had disap-
peared, and all search was unavailing.
He sat around bewailing his fate, and
finally struck for home just as he was.
The boys, though, had posted num-
Der of the urchins of the burg, and when
he hove in sight of one of the well tray
eled streets twenty kids, real live Amer
lean kids, hailed him with rich vocab-
ulary of slang.
''Say, look at the Chico guard with
his funny pants
''Get onto de Chinaman, fellers. Who's
got a tomato?"
Look at the Turk"
You get nickel if you hit it in the
neck"
The poor clerk started in on a run, and
was followed all the way home by a
yelling crowd of boys. He found on his
arrival his clothes neatly done up in q
bundle and an explanatory note from
''de gang" The costume-well, that.
