We pride ourselves on living in an
age of discovery and invention, and
pity our ancestors for being born too
soon. Yet much of this is misplaced.
The. real truth seems to be that the
ancients knew about everything that we
know, only the knowledge was not gem
orally diflused.
The learned man two or three thou
sand years ago was SO far superior to
the mt jority that he was regarded as a
wizard, and prudently kept his learn
ing to himself
In our schools at the present day we
use "Euclid's Elements of Geometry, 4"
written l,y Euclid 1890 years ago.
Euclid also wrote on music and optics,
anteda ing much which we think we
discovered.
Tie science Of optics must have been
pretty far advanced in his day. because
We know that Alexander the Grent had
copy of the Had inclosed in a nut
shell, and it is quite certain that it
could not have been written without
the aid Of a microscope
Layard found in tho ruins Of Nineveh
what Sir David Brewster pronounced
to Le "magiifying glass, and nearly
1000 years ago the Egyptians and As
syrians observed the stars through a
Sliding tube, which we have reason
to believe was a telescope
We make some very fine razors at the
present day, but we can not make any
finer steel than that contained in the
Damascus swords and knives which the
ancients used several thousand years
ago At the same time the people of
Tyre were such experts in dyeing that
tile Tyrian purple remains unexcelled to
this day. -[William Alva

Harmless Ways OF Bringing Art to I'm
prove Nature.
Perfumes should be used by every
one. for their stimulating and refresl,-
ing properties can not be overestimated.
They are health and beauty giving, es-
peclaliy lavender, lemon, roses, violets,
sage, and benzoin. Those with pale
compilations can in time bring color to
their cheeks by bathing with benzoin
water or lait virginia..
Thick lips can be reduced by rubbing
with tannin.
Pale lips can be induced 10 show color
by friction with black grapes.
Lemon, orange, and cucumber peels
nre excellent for the complexion. Let
them soak in your water jug, for they
not only soften but tonify and freshen
the complexion, keeping the flesh
healthy and firm.
When wiping 80, face, always wipe
upward, for this saves many a wrinkle
and fullness under the chin. The eyes
should always be wiped toward the nose,
as it presses out the fine lines from the
corners.

becoming set and old is to give the face
perfect rest four or five times day No
matter how busy ones life is, if possi-
ble to lie down for even five minutes at
time, close the eyes, and keep the face
in repose. If this is done daily it will
prevent the haggard look noticeable
with too many woomen.
Food powder will not harm the skin;
on tile contrary, it gives a soft cool look
and comfortable feeling. Rice powder
is lie hest to use. 1t is good plan to
cleanse the face prior to retiring to rest
with a little cream or milk of cuoum-
Der. Apply with soft piece of linen,
dabbing it we'll over the face, then wipe

cleanses the skin better than water,
and encourages a delicate and white

used whenever possible. otherwise dis

a Illlls KING. sen l,nlh.

Little King Alfonso and his sisters
take sea baths on the beach at San Se-
bastian every morning when the
weather permits. His majesty enjoys
bathing very much, going into the
ater witt, his mother, Queen Christina,
or with his tall strong Basque baigneur.
Recently. after his bath, Alfonzo XIII
had his hair cut short for the first time
by French hair dresser Of San Sebas-
tian. When the little kings curls had
been cropped Queen Christina ex-
claimed, How nice he looks, my little
ladl and her majesty allowed Countess
PeraIta, his sisters, and his nurse each
to have one Of his silky golden locks as
a souvenir The greatest concern of
bis majesty was TO known why his
hairdresser was perfectly bald and IL he
had lis hair all pulled off. Queen
Christina had always before cut the

In the works Of the Mannesmann Tube
Company in England there is a heavy
fly wheel ingeniously designed to be alb
solutely free from any danger OF burst
ing. AS this wheel is about 20 feet in
diameter, weighs over 10 tons and runs
at 24O turns per minute, it was feared
that a cast iron wheel would DO unable
10 stand such a centrifugal force The
wheel consists Of a cast iron hub, to
which are securely bolted two circular
plates or disks Of steel about 20 feet in
diameter Round the periphery OF the
wheel thus formed about 20 tons Of No.
wire was tightly wound, thus binding
the whole securely together and making
a wheel that is practically beyond posi-
bility of breakage by centrifugal power.

In the wild and lurid desert, IN the thunder
travelled ways.
Meath the night that ever hurries 10 the dawn
that sim delays,
There she clutches at illusions, and she seeks
n phantom goal
With the unattaining passion that consumes
the unsleeping soul;
And calamity enfolds her, like the shadow Of
q ban,
And the niggardness Of Nature makes the
misery OF man;
And In vain the hand Is stretched 10 lift her,
stumbling In the gloom,
While she follows the mad fen-fre that con-
duets her to her doom.

pair have just been married by Mrs.

maiden, or the maid the man. For
the moment, perhaps, the lady killing
dude will avoid Kansas, at least until
he has learned a graceful way of refus
ing lady; but, in fact, the change will
not be as momentous as it seems. Ever
now philosophers tell us that it is the
woman and not the man who really il
the selecting power In marriage, anC
inherited experience has made silent
lips alluring, and has taught downcas
eyes to speak as eloquently as any

REFORM IN GERMANY
The Emperor's New Bill for the Sup.
preston of Drunkenness

pItbslOu OF brunHenneS5
BERLIN, Sept. S-The proposed new
bill against the business in spirituous
liquors was published in the Reichs-
Anzeiger today. 1t is a lengthy meas
ure. Licenses shall only be granted
where there appears to be need for re-
tail liquor shops or saloons. The char
acter of the applicant and the location
of the place must be taken into consid-
Grafton. In cities of over 5000 inhabi-
tants the retail trade in liquors must
not be connected with any other kind
of trade, excepting drug stores, which
may sell liquors in sealed and labeled
bottles. Inn and saloon keepers must
supply guests with non-spirituous
liquors if required must keep strict
order and prevent anything which may
lead to the abuse of alcoholic drinks.
The sale of drinks to minors below the
age of Is is forbidden, except when ac-
companied by grown persons or trav-
cling.
The Reichs-Anzeiger presents reasons
for the passage of the bill in an exhaus-
| tive article covering eleven columns
closely printed. Among other things
it cites statistics showing that in 1SS9-9O
there were consumed in Germany
2,279,828 hectolitres of pure alcohol, or
Asa litres for each man, woman and
child of wine, IA litres were con-
sumed per head, while the quantity of
beer consumed annually is equal to an
average of 80 litres for each human
being in Germany. The article goes ON
to show that the incorporate use of
spirits has increased mortality, caused
sickness, is the main fountain of pau
perism, undermInes morality and ruins
the family life. 1t shows the enor-
nous increase in cases of chronic alco-
holism and delirium tremens in the
past decade; of the percentage of pris-
oners in the penitentiaries and insane
in the asylums who originate from
alcoholic troubles; of the percentage OF
crimes committed by drumkards, etc.

Nelson Bennett, who recently bought

the United States senate. One of these
fine years two or three ambitious gen.

that daily newspaper is poor property
for a senatorial aspirant. About that
time there will be an excellent opening
in Washington journalism for practical
newspaper men with a little cash in

ing for ambitious young newspaper
men to do but lie low and allow the
rich old senatorial aspirants to grow
sick and weary of their toys. They
