4 War Incident.

In 1873 when a war was threatened be-
tween England and Russia. the latter
power shipped three complete crews 10
the United States, intended TO man the
cruisers that were constructed out OF
American steamers. in Cramps yards,
at Chester. Pa The cruisers were not
ready when these Russian crews arrived
in American waters. and The Imperial
Government hit upon the ingenious IDEA
of sending them TO lie in the harbcf OF
Mount Desert. Ne. This was because the
State of Maine is a prohibition State
and sailors are fond Of liquor.
For weeks and weeks these officers
and sailors roamed over the roads, pene-
trated the hemlock and spruce forests
and enjoyed the best of health until their
ships were ready for them. In the mean
time the war cloud rolled away, and the
british cruisers that had Rugged the
coast in hopes Of capturing the russians
steamed away.
No scenery on the North Atlantic coast
is more striking than that found at
Mount Desert. A collection OF photo
graphs would cost s. or $40. ana they
would seem tame beside the illustrations
to be found in the first part OF flc'ui-

Then. as Usual, Cold-Cream Jars and Hot
Water Jugs Are Potent.
There are two seasons of the year
when the woman who values her COM
plexion has to give days and nights to
Its care. One, Of course. is when the
summer sun is doing it's deadly work
In sering the roses and freckling the
lilies OF her face. The other is when
the winter wind is giving her skin a
beet-like hue and leathery texture,
when her lips are so chapped that to
smile is agony and her cheeks so sensi-
tive that she cannot comforta bly, rest
them on her hand in the fetchingly
pensive attitude she affects.
The same ways and means that
enable the summer girl to defy tan and
freckles will keep the winter girl from
looking like very much roughened
beet They are cold cream. soft,
flannel washrag, hot water. pure soap,
oat meal and eternal vigilance With
out the last the first are vain. No
woman can s'coddle" the complexion
for three days in the week, neglect it
the other four and have a good one.
Each night the candidate for a skin
suggestive of peaches and cream must
wash her face and throat with hot
water, rubbing it gently with the fam
mel rag, on which plenty of pure soap
has been rubbed. If the face is already
chapped it is better not to use soap, but
to employ thin bag full of cat meal as
q cleansing agent. Then the face must
be rinsed in hot water, in which a few
drops of benzoid may be dropped, dried
gently with a soft towel and treated to
a massage with cold cream. 1t is not
enough to smear some unguent over the
face and expect to wake up trans
figured. The grease must be thorough
ly but gently worked into the skin.
In the morning more hot water is
necessary to remove the cold cream.
After the face and hands have been
cleansed of this, they should
be washed in cold water, as indeed,
the whole body should be. They must
be thoroughly but not roughly dried,
and it is well if one is going immedi-
ately into the open air to dust the face
and hands lightly with dry oat meal.
which must be wiped off at once. This
will insure perfect dryness of the skin,
and that is the main feature of the war
against chapped cheeks and lips
There is no surer way to ruin ones
complexion than to stay indoors in the
hope of protecting it. Constant indoor
life is ruinous to it. To accustom one
self to the outdoor air in all sorts of
weather is the surest way Of escaping
all the complexien-illst that bad weather
brings to oversensitive skins
