Take one pound OF fresh, unsaited

fourth pint of alcohol. Melt in stone

into cups and cool.
This Is a capital domestic applica-
ton, but 1t is best to melt the butter
first. pour the clear part from the white,
cheesy sediment. and keep 1t melted
with a drachm of gum benzoin tied in
a thin muslin suspended in 1t for twen-
'ty-four hours before making up the re-

and heal the skin.
You hear a good deal about lemon
Juice as a lotion to cure freckles, as II
they were ink stains. but lemons and
lime Juice taken inwardly will do much
more to improve complexion than they
ever will outside. Lime juice and water
as beverage Is an excellent summer
medicine, and the juice diluted may be
used as a wash for what 1t is worth.
Lotions Of any kind, however, dry too
quickly to be Of any decided use, and
pomades are much better for lasting
effect on the skin. A clean, waxy po-
made that does not grease or soil Is Of
great service In keeping the complex
ion cool and clear from the heat erup-
tiOns or the hard pimples under the
skin which sudden changes and check
of perspiration by change of tempera-
ture will cause in the fairest flesh.
These pOmades early and faithfully an
piled do more to prevent freckles than
any lotion will to cure them.
For a slight tan a teaspoonful Of
lemon juice In half pint Of rose water,

face many times a day and dried with.
out wiping. 1t Is still better to spray
the face with them by an atomizer.
This little comfort has a useful part in
toilet practice, as Its spray Is more fully
absorbed by the skin than washes with
cloth or sponge, and Its cooling effect Is
exquisite In heat and sickness. Don't
allow your druggist to tell you there Is
no such thing as vegetable glycerine.

STREET SWEEPER TESTED.
MIR. Brooks Invention Proves to DO a
Good Thug.


Several tests were made yesterday on
Spruce street OF the street sweeper in
ventedby Charles B. Brooks. of Newark.
N. ]. Mr.. Brooks Is the porter OF one
of the Pullman cars that run on the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad and Is of an ingenious turn
of mind. He has heretofore devised u
ticket punch and a street car fender.
The death OF his partner in the fender
enterprise robbed him Of his interest
In that invention.
He succeeded In interesting George NJ.
Hallstead and p. s. Page In his sweeper
model and they We're SO favorably i'm
pressed with II on examination
that they made It possible for Mr..
Brooks to have sweeper built. The
order was given to Bloom. Of this city.
who completed the sweeper short
time ago.
1t is made principally Of wood and
weighs less than ton. On the front
of the machine almost under the seat
occupied by the driver is a revolving
brush that can be raised and lowered
by an adjusting arrangement. Behind
this brush Is an iron scraper to clear
the dirt that the brush cannot move.
The brush throws the dirt backward
into hopper. where carriers operated
by an endless chain and a sprocket
wheel carry 1t into box. from which 1t
falls into bags. The suction created
by the carriers while In motion has the
effect of drawing the dust from the
clearing brush. making the machine al
most dustless. Great success attended
the trials made yesterday on Spruce
street. The machine swept the pave
ment clean and made little or no dust.
AS sool, as the gearing of the sweeper
has been arranged to the satisfaction
of the inventor. who supervised yes
terday's tests. II will be taken to Bing-
hamton and Elmira. where It will be
tested By the boards Of public works Of
those cities

with such superb attractions for the

Fort Worth last night by Mr.. Cleve-
lands combination. 1t was the great
est minstrel show ever seen in this city.
There We're SO many new features that
there was but small resemblance to
the old-tme minstrel shows. The jokes
were refreshingly new and the songs
squarely up-tO-date. Mr.. Cleveland has
done great deal for minstrelsy in put
ting such a uniformly strong company
on the road. and the magnificent audi
ence enjoyed the show hugely both at
the matinee and at night"
