Hot Springs Deluged.

The greatest down pour of rain and
hail known to the history of Hot
Springs occurred at that place on Mon
day. The Star has full account of the
unfortunate happening from which we
extract the following:

His Impression of the Hills.

Thos. Bishop in his Volga Tribune
says: "Our Impressions Of the Hills are
to the effect that We knew next to
nothing about that country before we
went, and not one-tenth We should
know now that we have returned. The
people out there themselves do not,
cannot appreciate fully the possibilities
or extent of the wealth they are daily
walking over. With the improved
methods OF extracting the metal from
the ore, one-hals Of the immense hills
and mountains are pay dirt or better,
and how far this extends into the bow
els of the earth no man may even sur
mise. With one thousandth part of the
gold Of the Black Hills in circulation,
we would be talking of the free coinage
Of gold at the rate OF l6 TO l of silver,
instead Of the reverse, as we now are.
Besides, there is silver, lead, copper.
amber, coal, and more, In those hills to
the west of us The production Of either
is az yet in its infancy. When some
twenty years ago William f. Custis
went out there with a military expedi.
ton as correspondent of the Inter
Ocean and returned saying il was a
country rich in gold, everybody, even
his friends. said he lied, and it required
years to prove that he did not. Less
than five years ago this writer heard an
old newspaper man of Chicago still in
sisted that Curtis lied, notwithstanding
the Homstake was at that time making
almost weekly shipments Of gold bricks.
No doubt some of our eastern friends
will still continue TO assert ia the same
way-till they go and see for themselves.
Their politicians particularly the re-
publicans think their friends in the
eastern portion are hogs, to put in the
Black Hills vernacular. They assert
they have never had their share of the
offices and other good things. Perhaps
they have not, and if such is the case
our friends here had better square
themselves as soon as possible, for the
day is coming when they will be able to
take everything without asking 1t
would not be bad idea to let them have

elected Better stop this talk of being

what they say, and they are entitled to

SECRETS OF the TOILET.


Uses and Abuses OF CosmetieU-Formui as
For Making Creams and Ralma.
Cosmetics is term broadly applied
to anything made to improve the COM
plexiou. The complexion is one Of the
chief charms Of beauty. Not. 'nR Is
more attractive than . clear, Or grain
ed, delicately tinted skin
Where q good complexion Il sadly
lacking, one is justified In resorting to
artificial means, but In doing so should
avoid anything that will tend to make
the bad complexion worse, and should
strive to improve the skin II artificial
means for appearing beautiful must be
used, be artistic about it, and don't ap-
ply liquid powder as though white
washing fence. If the pores Of the
skin must be filed, let it be with the
least harmful Of powders, advises a
writer in Good Housekeeping, who says:
A piece of fine chalk may be placed
in a coarse linen bag and crushed In
water, grinding it between the fingers
Then wash the face quickly with the
linen, and the wet powder will be left
in thin deposit. Any superduous pow
der may be removed by the application
of a damp handkerchief Or, to use the
dry powder, buy dropped chalk and ap-
ply with piece of white velvet. When
one has used powder for long time, the
face has spots on which the powder will
not stick. The reason is that the natural
grain Of the cuticle has been destroyed.
By using velvet instead of channels skin
or cloth this will not occur.
Some very dark ladies prefer a tinted
powder to the pure white. Dissolve
dropped chalk in water to which little
saffron and alkanet (vermilion) have
been added. Stir and let the powder set
tie. This may be used as fluid, or if
preferred dry pour of the water and
dry in the sun.
To make cold cream take Of oil of al
monds 2 ounces, spermaceti half an
ounce, white wax dram. Melt together
and while cooling add ounces Of rose
water, stirring until cold. Cold cream
may also be made by this formula:
Take ounces Of unsalted butter, 4
ounces of white wax, an ounce Of vase
line, melt together and perfume with
extract Of bergamot. The more cold
creams are stirred and beaten while
cooling the whittier they become
To whiten the hands melt q pound of
white CASTLE soap over the fire with a
little water. When melted, perfume
slightly and stir in half cupful of oat-
meal. Use this preparation while wash
ing the hands, and their improvement
will be surprising. A lotion for sooth-
ing the hands may be made with ia
blespoonfuls of lemon juice, l of glyc-
erin and of almond oil (colorless).

The B.s. Music Teachers.

How greatly men differ In the value
they place upon praise, aseed 80 prolific
both Of success and Of failurei There
is the teacher who praises everything.
In a short time You find that you can
place but little confidence in anything
he tells you, and you make up your
mind that he is flattering you for the
sake of holding you as pupil. There
is the class Of teachers who go to the
opposite extreme. No matter how much
you practice, how easily you learn, your
teacher does not let you have the salts
faction of knowing that he thinks you
are improving.
Then there Is another class of teach
ers. The moment you find yourself in
the presence of one of these you feel
that you have a friend who takes a per-
sonal interest in you, and who will be
honest with you. If you are not doing
as well as you are capable of doing, he
kindly tells you SO and shows you in
what way to change your methods of
study. If you have done work worthy
OF comment, he gives it to you in a
hearty manner that shows he is pleased
and Is not afraid to say so. Neverthe-
less he runs to no excess in his praise.
He makes you feel your true worth,
nothing more. This is the class Of teach
ers that are making their mark in the
world. a few minutes of social chat at
the beginning of the lesson, in which a
personal interest in the pupils ambi-
tions and welfare is shown, will often
do more toward getting the pupil inter
ested than all the talk of theory and
music that could be crammed into the
whole lesson hOur
