How to Use Oil as a Face Cleaner

Oil cleans the skin better than water.
Actresses, to get their makeup off, once
used cocoa butter; now they use cocoa
oil, which is better preparation of the
same thing. Drug stores keep it some
times fresh, and some keep it rancid. In
cocoa oil you will have the most de-
lightful of all emollients for the oil
bath. After a railway journey on a hot
day take the most vigorous bath you
can devise or endure; then spread some
cocoa oil on your face and wipe ii off.

hearty appreciation not alone Of the gift
itself but as we'll of the sweet spirit OF
charity aud benevolence which is shown in
their repeated donations. Tommy is very
we'll and he is about to have not only
pleasant vacation from school but an OPP

THE WEDDING RING.
The Gemel Ring of Olden Days With Its
Poetic Sentiment and Dainty Fancies.

The Gemel Ring of Olden Days, With Its
Poetic Sentiment and Dainty Fancies.
OF all ornaments wherewith human be-
ings arc won't to adorn their persons none
is of more ancient or universal use than the
ring No other ornament has ever been
endowed with such intimate and sacred
meanings as finger rings, from the sig
net ring Of Solomon, before which all the
djinns and afreets Of the world of spirits
bowed in awed humility and fear, to the
golden circlet which is placed on the finger
of the bride at the. altar, from the ring
given in pledge fol, a kings ransom to the
ring of Queen Bess, which she sent too
late to save the life Of her favorite, Essex
Fable and history, sentiment and symbol
ism hover round these familiar little OBJ
jects
The present condition Of the wedding
ring and its plain unvarnished appearance
are modern conventions. In olden days
the wedding ring was not only adorned
with gems, but was also worn on the
thumb, a practice alluded to by Butler in
"Hudibras' and Southerne in THE Maid
Last Prayer" 1t is a great pity that the
really appropriate wedding rings, the
gemel rings, are not revived. ~.
Inc ReInel ting Is HORIZONTALLY spun III
such a way that the ring, when off the
finger, falls apart into two links, which
pass through each other. On the inner
side of one half is engraved the name of
the bride, ON the other half that of the
| bridegroom, and the date of the wedding
rs added. On the outside, when the two
halves are Joined together, may be en-
graved q motto at will.
A clasped pair of hands or interlaced
hearts were often used on these gemel
| rings, the design being constructed only to
| be perfect when the ring was in place on
the finger. What lover worthy Of the
| name but would enjoy devising the ring
that is to be the pledge Of his lifes love'
Perhaps he elects that the gemel shall be
| finished with the clasped hands that sig
nifty lifelong friendship and mutual conf,
dence as well as love. Or perhaps he may
| incline to two hearts--one of fiery ruby,
| typifying his ardent passion; the other OF
brilliant diamond, the symbol of the pur'
| ity Of his spouse; or peradventure his lean
| ing is to faithfulness and the steady blue
| of the sapphire will crown the gemel; or
| more modest STILL he confines himself tC
| hope, and an emerald will bring with il
| suggestions of verdant and idyllic joys
| That after weeks of courtship and prep
| aration nothing better than golden cdi
| ton of curtain ring should be evolved by
| human Imagination to do honor to SO great
an occasion is saddening thought.

The JOURNAL has received copy Of the
Atlanta Journal of June IA, which contains
q long list Of testimonials of cures wrought
by Oxydonor, also an open letter from Mr..
Alexander Beck to the physicians of that
city, asking them to make fair, scientific
test of his treatment. The Atlanta Journal
says editorially: "He offers to treat 100
cases of any sort, and expresses confidence
that he can cure them with the Oxydonor.
In connection with this proposition
Mr.. Beck offers strong array of testi-
money in support of the efficiency of such
treatment for fever. 1t seems to have been
used with success during the yellow fever
epidemic in Brunswick. The many cures
which are reported on good testimony to
have made by the Oxydonor Victory and
the fair terms of Mr.. Beck's proposition
entities it to consideration. If Mr.. Beck
can do what he claims, he will confer a
great benefit upon suffering humanity. If
the Oxydonor does not do what is claimed
for it the public should know it. The pro
posed test would settle the question"

SECOND BAPTIST ITEMS,

At the Bible band services Mrs. l..
Anderson, president, read the 9th
chapter of John, prayer by sitter
Griggs, after which the lesson, Luke
second chapter was read. A discus
sion of the subject "A ugustus taxed
all the Roman Empire" was next in
order, and all throug the spirit of God
seemed to prevail. The main ques-
ton was, "And the angel said unto
them, fear not; for behold l bring
you good tidings of great joy which
shall be to all people"
Devotional services at IL a. m.
were we'll attended, and though it
seemed that dark cloud was over
us, peace prevailed.
Sister Miller, that old veteran of
the cross was with us again and we
are always proud to have her with us
for as she said, she has come up
through great tribulations, yet God
has spared her to be with us.
At 7 O'Clock Rev. M. L. Copeland,
d. d., our pastor, preached a sermon
which was without an exception, the
greatest ever preached in Second
Baptist church; and nearly all the
members were out to hear him. The
theme was "If the Lord says go will
CO."
We are sorry to say that there are
some young ladies who apparently
come to church for no other purpose
than to laugh, talk and chew gum.
If these persons do not stop this We
intend to publish their names.
Prayer meeting Thursday night
will be led by sisters Harper aud l..
Laner All members are requestrd to
be present.
