Poisons in Cosmetics,

1t seem to be the fashion for young
ladies with pnnples and blotchcs on
their face to make experiments with
various cosmetics. Madame Pifypaffy
advertises her fsreign-named compound,
composed of a combination poisonous
mineral substances that deaden and
burden the delicate substances ofthe skin.
There are no compilations like those that
nature give. The tonic, strengthening

in this respect, as Thousands ofladies, both
Aoung and old, have discovered. The
cheapest and most beautiful compilations
depend on health and vigor. 1t is the

vigor and tone and health to the system,
and in this way to give lustre to the eye
and roses to the cheeks.

The past month has been a peculiar
one, as shown by the daily report re-
corded by Capt. L. E. Coe, at seven
O'Clock every morning. The first fifteen
days show an average OF almost one de-
gree below zero at that hour, the coolest
being on the 4th and 14th-both morn
ings being just 1S degrees below, and the
highest being on the 18th, when it was
20 above-a change OF SO degrees from
the 14th to the 18th. There were six
mornings in the first sixteen of the month
that the mercury stood above zero, and
no morning after the 10th when it fell to
zero. The average for the last fifteen
days was % degrees above-the morn
ings of the 26th and 3Oth being at 80.
The range for the month was So degrees
at IA. M. This does not indicate the ex-
IRENE fuctuation by good many de-
grees, as it is neither the warmest nor
coolest at that hour. March has MAIN
tanned its reputation as freaky month,
and verifes the old adage that if it come
in like lion it will go out like a lamb.
The equinox season was mild. with gen
tie southerly winds.
Two brothers, Peter and Gustave
Erickson, who live near Melrose, this
county, happened in the city yesterday
morning, and INDUCED in such elaborate

take the train home. Peter subsequent

Quoted to the cooler by a policeman.
This morning he was brought before
Judge Evens, who fined him for disorder
ly conduct, which he paid. Gustave in
the meantime Jared very poorly. He
entered the first barn he came to and
went to sleep. When he gained his sem
ses he discovered that some one had gone
through him. His pocket book was gone,
containing some So, and everything else
of value which his pockets contained.
Besides that the thieves stole his hat and
overshoes. The two brothers went home
this morning concluying that the best
place was with the old folks at home on
the farm.-[St. Cloud Times.

THE legislature, has, by resolution, exi
plunged all record of the impeachment OF
E. St. Julien Cox from the senaterecords,
and this in the face of the fact that the
impeached judge shows no evidence of
reformation. He was removed for drunk
enness. persistent and habitual. By this
act of the legislature the public is led to
believe there is nothing out of charac-
ter for a district Judge to be guilty of in
toxication upon the bench. The pro-
ceedings are now as though they had
never been. To be consistent general
law should be passed refunding all fined
and committing all penalties which have
been paid or suffered for drunkenness in
the state of Minnesota during the past
ten years. Judge Cox. in the eye of the
law, should be no more forward than
the veriest tramp who spends his time
in investigating the divers municipal cal
abooses of the state.

THE st. Paul Globe Of Sunday last has
this little tribute to Hon. Joseph Capser,
accompanied by a fair picture of him:
Hon. Joseph Capser is probably the
most experienced legislator in the house.
This is not the first time he has spent
winter in st. Paul as a member of the
legislature, having been favored with
like honor on two previous occasions A
clear thinker, aggressive debater. and
also skilled parliamentarian-Mr. Cap
ser can hold his own with any other
member on the floor Of the house. He is
a democrat, and finds great difference
in his surroundings in the present Iegisla-
ture from those of two years ago. In
that legislature-in the house-there
were only three democrats. Though
small in numbers, headed by Mr.. Capser,
the democratic members of the house in
two years accomplished great deal in
the interests of their party, and by their
attitude earned for themselves
the admiration of the democratic party
of the state. Mr.. Capser represents
Stearns county, where he is engaged in
mercantile pursuits. He is fifty-seven
years old, and settled in Minnesota in
1857. His repeated return to the legis-
lature is sufficient guarantee of the
confidence and esteem in which he is held
by the people of Stearns county. A more
member never occupied seat in
the legislative halls of the state.

this property has not since deteror-
ated in value. The reports which
have made Mrs. Seares a millionaire
thirty to forty times over are reason
ably near the truth"
A San Francisco railroad man who
was interviewed said the firm of
Hubbard & Stillman had full power
of attorney of Mrs. Searles, and were
thus practically as much owners of
the Southern Pacific system as Hun
tington, Stanford and Crocker. He
was of opinion that Hubbard and
Stillman would sell out, and that
Huntington not being likely able to
buy the interest promptly, it would
fall to Stanford and Crocker. In
sach a case Crocker would be elected
president, as that was once Stan
ford's wish. Huntington would thus
be deposed from the presidency.
