Buttermilk for Freckles.

There is nothing that equals fresh
buttcrmilk for removing tan, freckles,
sunburn or moth spots, says The La
dies Home journal. 1t has the great
advantage that it does not injure the
skin, but renders it soft, like little
child's. Take soft cloth or sponge
and battle the face. neck and arms thor
oughly with buttermilk before retiring
for the night; then wipe off the drops
lightly. In the morning wash it thor
oughly and wipe dry with crash tow
ell. Two or three such baths will take
off all the tan and freckles. 1t will
keep the hands soft and smooth.

He Conquered His Rival

Do you observe any small, winged
insects lowering about my manly shape2'
queried dashing young fellow Of an old
friend one evening.
Not a one" was the response " but
why the question ?'
Well" said the first speaker, there
has been rivalry between a certain dude
Of this town and myself as to which
should stand first in the graces Of a most
charming girl who abides with her papa
and mamma on the Cass farm. Now,
the thought occurred 70 me that if 1
could take the fair maiden in whom my
affections are wrapped up to see Bern
hardt. that Mr. Dudes cake would be all
dough, or something to that effect. Not
having the spare coin to indulge in such
Iuxuries as three dollar theatre tickets,
turned out bright and early the morning
Of the sale ofseats for :he La Tosca per-
fornance, secured a position well up the
front, and when it came my turn planked
down fifteen dollars and picked out five
Of the best seats that remained unsold
Then I strolled back, sized up the crowd
still in line, and inside Of % minutes I
sold three Of my tickets TO an old party
with plenty Of money for sl5, leaving
me two ticketss-one for myself and one
for my girl-which stood Newell, about
two hours standing around. That even
incy the fffIa fair- ar,d ] were c0usuicli-
Gus at the swell theatrical event OF the
year. I am not out Of pocket a cent, and

Nervous Headache.

One form Of nervous headache which
is unmistakable, though not always IN
derstood as such, consists Of dull, grind
ing pain in the back Of the head near
the base Of the brain, where the nerves
Of the spinal cord enlarge and ramify
for the formation OF the Ibrain- Pain in
this locality, frequently extending down
the neck, is a sure indication Of impair
ed nervous action, and should be treated
accordingly. In another direction nerE-
Gus trouble produces a violent headache
that is from the medium of the stom-
aeh- With many people any deep or
sudden emotion, such as grief fear, or
even joy, may partially or entirely paral-
stomach there is an utter absence Of
appetite, and the serious headache which
results is simply the indication Of the
trouble When it IS removed. and the
stomach resumes its accustomed action.
the headache will disappear.

Depew's Story.


Mr.. Depew told a railroad story the

the railroad branch Of the Young Mems
Christian Association, in their building
on Madison avenue. Cornelius Wander

ton Of modern transportation.
"lOh can't have a notion, young men
in the audience" continued the Doctor j,
how slow people used to be. There was
an old man up in Peekskill, where
used to live, who used to be known as
The Village Oracle OF all the places
in the village where the Oracle loved to
spout, the corner grocery was the dearest
to him. There he would siton a cracker
barrel and solve, of-hand, the knottiest
political problems Of the day. One day

ed so that a certain power might be dele
gated to the Federal Government. was
fresh from my law office, and vas able
to tell him that the State Constitution
did convey that identical function to tAe
Federal Government. He doubted it,
and said he would consult the learned
authorities on the point when he got
time. He had the books at home.
81 came 70 New York - continued the
doctor, "and spent a pretty busy ten
years, and never happened to meet the
Oracle again in the grocery, but one day
| found him declsiming, as be had been
declaiming ten years previously from the
head of a cracker barrel, to a crowd OF
villagers. And he had the same idea
that the Constitution ought to be amend
ed.
But, Uncle I said, don't you re-
member told you ten years ago that the
Constitution already contained that pro-
vision -

American sgriculturists will gather
enormous incomes from the surplus of
their productions that viii shipped TO the
Old World this year and the first part
Of 1892. In wheat is is estimated that
not less than 500 IOOOO 900 will be derived
in sales of surplus in that cereal to out
siders, while in corn, barley, rick, buck
wheat and potatoes the income may
reach an equal sum. Shipments of apples
have always been heavy 10 Europe as
well as to Asia, and as this crop has been
enormous the sales to foreign buyers viii
be in proportion, and when TO this is
added the commerce in canned fruits of
all kinds, trade which the American
canner monopolizes in all foreign ports,
some idea can possibly be formed of the
vsstness Of American commerce in such
soil fruit products II may not be igur-
ing too high to place the aggregate of
this trade in income to American dealers
at fully s6O0,OO0,OOO. To this again must
be added trade in meats and fish, pro-
duced, prepared and packed for slip
ment to foreign ports, which viii aggre-
gate millions Of dollars, and which ag-
gregate when put down in the column
showing American sales Of food products
viii swell the value to from seven to
eight hundred millions of dollars. What
other land can make such showing in
trade that has for its object the feeding
of the hungry masses of the Old World !

WHY THEY TWINKLE.


BY ". HOLMES,
When Eve had led her lord away,
And Cain had killed his brother.
The stars and h0wers. the poets say,
Agreed with one another
To cheat the cunning tempter's an,
And teach the race It's duty,
By keeping on its wicked heart
Their eyes Of light and beauty.
A million sleepless lids. they say,
win be AT least warning:
And 50 the flowers would watch by day.
The STAN from eve TO morning.
On hin and prairie, field and lawn,
Their dewy eyes upiurning.
The flowers still watch from residening dawn
Till western skies are burning.
Alas! each hour Of daylight tells
tale Of shame so crushing
That some turn white as sea bleaehed shells.
And some are always blushinz.
But when the patient stars look down
On all their light discoTeH-
The traitors smile, the mu -derer's frown
The lips oflying lovers
They Try TO shut their saddening eyes,
And in the vain endeayos
We see them twinkling in the skies,
And 50 they wink forever.

AN UNPR0VOKED MURDER,
A Girl Of Fourteen Years Choked to
Death Because She Began to Cry.
THE MURDERER MAKES A COMES
SION.

LANSING, Mich, Feb. 3.--The mys-
terry surrounding the death Of the
young girl whose body was found In
Grand River, near Dimondale, Friday
last, was cleared up this morning. The
first clue to the crime was when the
body was identified by q Lake Shore
conductor as that OF Q passenger on
his train who was accompanied by
an old man. Then the officials of
the State public school, at Cold
water, identified the body as that Of
Nellie Griffin, who had been adopted
y few days previously by an old man
giving the name of Henderson,. Act
i've search was instituted for the old
man, and he was located early this
morning on a farm near Dinondale,
where he was employed. His real
name was found to be Russell 9. Can
field. After being fully identified by
the superintendent Of the Coldwator
School he was arrested and taken to
Charlotte. At first he denied ali
knowledge Of the crime, but finally
broke down and confessed. He said
that upon arriving from Coldwater
with the girl, he set out through the
woods for the farm where he worked.
They sat down on q log by the water
where the body was found. "The
girl began to cry" he said, "and ]
threw her on the ground and choked
her to death with one hand She did
not struggle or scream. After her
death 1 took on her clothes and threw
her into the hole where she was fouEd.
I did not outrage The girl, aud ] have
no idea why I killed her. 1 must have
been insane"
The murderer also added that no one
was implicated In the crime. Garfield
is IS years old, and the age Of his
victim was IA. 1t is thought the old
man is crazy, for, as far is known, the
murder was u~nprovoked, and is Ii Of
the most cold FLOODED crimes In the
history Of this State.
