Castoria is truly marvellous thing for
children. Doctors prescribe it, medical
journals recommend it and more than a
million mothers are using it in place Of
Paregoric, Bateman's Drops, so>called
soothing syrups and other narcotic and
Supplying remedies. Castoria is the
quickest thing to regulate the stomach and
bowels and give healthy sleep, the world
has ever seen. 1t is pleasant to the taste
and absolutely harmless. 1t relieves con.
stipation, quiets pain, cures diarrhea and
wind collie, allays feverishness destroys
worms, and prevents convulsions, soothes
the child and gives its refreshing and nat
ural sleep. Castoria is the children s
panacea-the mothers friend.

TYpe-Writer Reform.

New York Sum An important reform
movement is begun by the Post-Express.
In the matter of the typewriter, so incon-
veniently double in its meaning, our con-
temporary suggests remedies for both doubt
and inconvenience:
"For 'typewriting' say 'typing.'
"For typewriter (the machine) say
'typer.'
"For typewriter (the operator) say
'typist.'
For 'typewritten' say typed
For to typewrite' say to type"
If anyone will let
when the fascinating typlst isn't typing,
isn't typing,
And the clicking typer's shut, as nothing's
typed, nothing's typed"
with the more cumbersome terms now in
use, he will admit that the proposed cor
rections have great merit.

Effective ImPeFsOnatIOn.
A noted manager happening into the
Park theater, Brooklyn, last week, where
"The Ensign" was being performed, was
struck by the remarkably lifelike imper-
sonation of Mr.. Charles Sydney as Ad-
miral Farragut, and Mr.. Logan Paul's
makeup as President Lincoln. Having
been friend of both the two great men,
he was anxious to meet these two clever
actors.
Through the courtesy of the manage
ment he was taken back of the stage, and
was dun bounded to find Mr.. Charles Syd-
ney and Mr.. Logan Paul one and the same
Mr.. Pau's impersonatiOn of our mar
tyred president has caused numerous COM
ments to be written, owing to its startling
realism, and naturally the manager was
eager to know how such a transformation
could be made.
"Well, don't mind telling you," said
Mr.. Paul. MAKING up is life study, and
my makeup as Farragut is easy, needing
only wig and few well defined lines.
1t is as Lincoln that l am put upon my
mettle.
First I collected all the photographs of
him l could get, and studied them care
fully. Then 1 went to my wig maker and
had this wig made. See the resemblance
at once as put it on2 Then 1 went to my
bootmaker and he built mp pair of boots,
thus making me Lincoln's exact height.
"But, of course, the most difficult part is
the face. You see this wax, as you will
notice l mould this over my nose until it is
exactly like the one in the photograph
here. Then take white grease paint, put
1t on my cheek bones to bring them out,
and gray paint to produce the hollows un-
der them, and then carefully pencil in the
lines and wrinkles with dark blue stick
of paint.
"Oyer all this 1 put this dark yellow
powder, which gives me the sallowness of
the dead presidents complexion, and 1
am done"
