FOOLISH WOMEN.
Why Win They be SO ThoC9htIess and
Careless Even About Matters Which
Concern Their Beauty.

The plaiaest features become pretty when
clothed with fresh, veIvety skin. It is in
the power OF every woman to have q soft. fine
SKIN, thus adding much 10 her charms. If she
viii devote q little time and care to her toilet
II should be a duty as well as Ii pleasure to
every woman to enhance her powers of at
tractiveneSs.
So says the highest authority in London
but nothing can be more absurd than for any
lady to try and be beautiful simply by pow
derlng the face, or applying cream or ONT
nent. These things are necessary, it is true:
out something else is more important. Good
refreshing sleep. Warm circulating blood
which never permits cold feet or blue noses
These things make beauty quicker than any
powders or lotions can. But my lady reader
says. how can this be done? Keep the blood
moving by some gentle StiInulant and for this
purpose nothing is equal TO pure whisky. Not
the whisky one commonly hears of: not the
questionable kind that is drunk by gross men
in grosSer places, but something pure paIata-
BILE and pleasing. This IS precisely what
Dufy's Pure Malt Whisky is, and what has
made it SO irnIneasurably popular. The best
doctors IN the land prescribe it. The finest
scientists indorse II. In is all those qualities
are found which make It n great friend TO
women. 1t relieves the Sufferings to which
they are SO subjected, and counteracts the
wearing effects which so often cause women to
grow old preInaturely.
Duffyss Pure Malt Whisky will taken with S
little water, tone up the system and replace
languor ana weakness with brightness and
vigor. It is being used by the leading ladies
of the land. But be sure and secure the gen
uine, and take only Duffy's. s

Mr.. Heacock called attention to the fact
hat the Secretary had inadvertently

when he discovered that it had been read

Evening Session.
The Senate met at 7:30 o'clock p. NJ,
Lieutenant-G Reddick in the
chair.
Mr.. Goucher called up his motion to
amend Rule Z, so as not to conflict with
the new joint rule governing the conSid-
Grafton of bills that have passed either
branch of the Legislature.
Mr.. Heacock moved to refer Mr.. Gou-
cher's motion to the Committee on Rules.
Carried.
The committee at once returned its re-
port. recommending that the amendment
be adopted. So ordered.
The special order was the consideration
of the adverse report of the Committee
on RUles, relative TO the limitation of de-
bates to tive minutes.
Mr.. Heacock moved to amend by pro-
viding that the limitation should not ap-
ply to amy debate ON the apportionment
I bill.
Mr.. Goucher said there were other i'm
portant matters to be discussed, notably
the county division bills, and thought
that the limitation might work an injury
at this time. Important matters should
have full and free discussion, and he
thought it would be wise not TO take any
action on the matter at this time.
Mr.. 4IcGowan also spoke against the
proposed amendment, which he regarded
in the light of gag-law and the abridg-
ment OF free speech. 1t was too danger
Gus an experiment, impolitic and un-
American.
Mr.. Heaeocll said that, notwithstand-
ing the remarks of the Senator from
Fresno and Humboldt, he believed the
rule q good one. It would be better to
shorten the hours of labor than TO waste
the time OF the Senate in useless debate.
Mr.. Preston favored the proposed
amendment. Unless such a rule were
adopted the Senate would not be able to
| dispose of many of the bills on It's file. He
believed that the majority of the Senators
could present their views on any bill in
five minutes.
Mr. Carpenter was opposed to the pro-
posed limitation. as 1t practically shut off
debate. He hoped the committee report
would be adopted.
Mr. Heacccll's amendment exempt
ing the apportionment bills was lost
ayes y, noes IL.
Mr.. DeLong then moved to amend the
original proposition by providing that
by the consent ola majority of the Senate
q Senator may be allowed to extend his
remarks beyond five minutes.
Mr.. Mead thought half hour would be
short enough time to allow for speeches.
Mr.. Goilcher held that no five-minute
rule should be adopted until within few
days of adjournment, when it would be
| proper.

Soon afteryrard a half-breed from Beaver
Lake found in the woods not far from New
Beaver Lake trail a skeleton in a standing
position the arms stretched out and Wrists
tied to two trees. He did not disturb 1t, but
went to tell the father of the lost boy IN
order that he might see if he could Identify
it, From circumstances surrounding the
affair it is evident the lost boy had been
offered as a sacrifice to secure good luck IN
hunting by Indians. As is their custom the
savages had hung about the body BITS OF
cloth and trinkets to propitiate the Great
Spirit.

The Shepherd Dog and Flock.

Some may doubt this story, but it
comes from the truthful West: A flock
OF sheep blocked the entrance to bridge
near Central Park, Ohio. A large
shepherd dog had been trying to induce
the sheep to cross the bridge, but they
were suspicious and held back. Pres
emily the dog, discouraged at his un5uc'
cezsful effort to drive them, leaped upon
the backs Of the sheep, which, in their
crowded condition, looked like clc
woolly floor, ran along to the bridge en-
trance, jumped upon the floor, and Selling
with his mouth one of the ewes, dragged
her along onto the bridge. Once on
the bridge the old ewes suspicious we're
aiIayed and she trotted on across, fol-
lowed by the whole flock, while the dog
stepped back to one side, let them all
pass, and then trotted behind.-Nee0

Nine Foolhariy Parisians Drown
IN the Seine.

An accident by which nine persons lost
their lives occurred at Paris, France, few
days ago. The Seine with the exception Of
the centre, has been frozen over for some
days. The whole river was covered with ice,
the middle of the stream, however,
being hidden by what the police judged
to be a dangerously thin sheet of it.
Consequently the authorities forbade
people to attempt TO cross the river and tbs
police were instructed to enforce the order.
\ number of men and boys, however, disre
garding the warming cries OF the police and OF
the crowds of people who were watching
them, attempted to cross the Seine
As they came near the middle OF
the stream, dull, cracking reports
were heard, causing a number of the
foolhardy persons TO rush back to the sides
of the river, where the ice was much
thicker. Others pressed on. Suddenly the
ice gave way and precipitated a crowd OF
people into the freezing water. The police
and Ife-savers rushed to the scene of the dis
aster; but, in spite of their efforts, and
though a number of men and boys were
drawn from the river, nine persons wer>
known to have been drowned.

Tired Of hoping, faint with fearing.

Patience whispers: Only waitr'

Gladness cOmeth with the morning
Only wait!
Oh, sad hearts, whose soundless sorrow
Dares not let a murmur fall.
Only wait, and truss morrow;
Gods great heart beats over all.
Only wait, Oh, wounded spirit,
By lfe's heavy cross weighed down;
Thou shalt surely heaven inherit
Bear the cross, and win the crown,
Win and wear it at the dawning,

In the glory OF the morning

Snow is Not White.

Snow is not white, neither is it opaque.
1t is composed of small, six-rayed crys-
tails, which, when examined separately,
are seen to be as transparent as water.
Snow is white only in the sense that
water, when falling over precipice, is
white. In each case the whiteness is due
to inclosed air.
There is no such thing as perfect white
ness. Even newly fallen snow (along
with its inclosed air. reflects only four
