ART CAN DO MUCH.

But 1t Cannot Effectively Hide Old Age
After ertain Years.
Art can do great deal in this age of
progress, and can make a woman of
40 look not day over 25 or 30---if, in
the inspection, magnifying glasses are
tabooed. But when woman reaches
the age of As or so there is one never
failing evidence that years that belonged
to youth have slipped away, and all the
arts of ancient Rome and the wonderful
discoveries of the present day cannot
hide the fact that old age is within a
stones throw. EFi E his evidence is the the
hand, says the Chicago Herald. The
roundness will disapI ear from the cheek
with it's fairness, and both can be brought
back again. When time clutches the
hand of woman, however, 1t leaves it's
mark, and the imprint cannot be defaced.
Declining years may leave an abundance
of flesh in it's wake, but the hand will
receive none of it, and the skin that was
once so white and we'll filled out, will
settle down to the bones, russet-colored,
relieved only by large purple veins that
seem bursting with blood. Or if the
flesh remains faithful to the contour of
the hand, the skin gets rough and the
color of parchment, and all of the cold
creams known to science will do no
more than sort of sandpaper the rough
ness down to small even scales If liver
spots and freckleS are driven from the
face and neck they seek refuge in the

organs and dilate the abdominal vessels,
in that way lessening the fiow of blood to
the brain, but it has soothing influence
Oh the entire nervous system.
Hot applications over the pit of the
stomach also act exceedingly well. A hot
fiaxseed poultice retains the heat longest

applications; but the hot water pack
does more in the same direction. Or a
poultice can be made of Indian meal,
with just enough mustard in it to create
gentle heat. Hot bran bags, also bags
flied with spices, with little cayenne
pepper mixed with them, have very
favorable action. The victim of insomnia
would do well to try some of these simple
remedies, and in many instances they
will prove serviceable.

ARNoLD's LAST DAYS.
The Traitors Life on the Other Side !
the OCEAN

The Traitors Life on the Other Side 81
the Ocean.
All the family tradition goes to show
that the last years of Benedict Arnold in
London were years OF bittcr remorse and
self-reproach. The great name which
he mad so gallantly won and SO wretch
edly lost left him no repose by night or
day. The iron frame, which had with
stood the fatigue of so many trying bat
tie fields and still more trying marches
through the wilderness, broke down at
lasteunder the slow torture of lost friend
ships and merited disgrace. In the last
sad days in London, In June, 1901, the
family tradition says that Arnold's mind
kept reverting to his old friendship with
Washington. He had always carefully
preserved the American uniform which
he wore on the day when he made his
escape to the Vulture; and now as,
broken in spirit and weary of life, he
felt the last moments coming, he called
for this uniform and put it on, and
decorated himself with the epaulettes
and sword knot which Washington had
given him after the victory of Saratoga.
aLet me die" said he, Gin this old uni
form in which fought my battles. May
God forgive me for ever putting on any
other
lnlo the story Of Arnold there enters
that element of awe and pity which, as
Aristotle pointed out, is an essential part
of real tragedy That Arnold had been
very shabbily treated, long before any
thought of treason entered his mind, is
not to be denied. That he may honestly
have come to consider the American
cause hopeless, that he may really have
lost his interest in it because of the
French alliance-all this is quite possi-
BILE. Such considerations might have
justified him in resigning his commits
sion; or even, had he openly and frankly
gone over to the enemy, much as we
should have deplored such step, some
persons would always have been found
to judge him leniently, and accord him
the credit OF acting upon principle. But
the dark and crooked course which ne
did choose left open no alternative but
that of unqualified condemnation.

Cheyenne Indians Try to Stop q Train with
m RODD

Cheyenne Indians Try to Stop 9 Train with
An old Western engineer tells the fol-
lowing story of the Cheyenne Indians
Intellectual attempt to stop train:
When the Kansas Pacific was first
opened the Indians were very hostile
and there was constant fear that they
would wreck the trains. That they did
not is due to their ignorance of the iron
horse and the best methods OF destroy
ing 1T. One of my firemen had an ex-
perience with the Cheyennes that he will
never forget. He was on the road near
Fort Wallace, when he saw that the In
dians had cut the telegraph wire and
knew that he might look out fog squalls
They were never satisfied with simply
cutting the wire, but chopped it into
inch pieces with their tomahawks to
effectually stop the mysterious mes
sages. As the train came near a large
patch of sunflowers which grew on both
sides of the track over one hundred In
dians rose up, stretched a strong rope
across the track, braced themselves and
prepared to receive the shock of theloco-
motive. As was afterward learned. they
had taken rawhide strips, braided them
together, and with force of fifty at
each end of the rope thought that they
would be able to stop the train. The
moment the locomotive struck the rope
the air was full of Indians They were
thrown in all directions. Some were
ierked clear across the trackssand more
than dozen were killed or seriously in
jured. This was the last attempt made
for years to stop the trains.
