I took to rouging. 1t was a success.
People began to say: "How well you

careful scrutiny. l learned to shade off

fectly natural, for it never spread over
my chin, nose and forehead.
One day heard woman lecture on
the evils of painting the cheeks. went
home, threw my box of carmine in the
fire and resolved that would be natural
at all hazards. In few days began to
be greeted with commiserating glances.
Friends asked if l were ill. you look

A bridal scrapbook is novel and adds
much to the merriment of the occasion.
It is of course bound in white vellum,
with the monogram of the bride and
groom and the date in silver. There is
space for the certificate made out by the
officiating clergyman, which is to be
signed by each and every guest. 1t may
be placed in charge of one of the ushers
and should rest on cushion of white on
a table large enough to hold a massive
silver inkstand and penrack. One of the
prettiest spectacular effects of the affair
is the sight of the bride signing her new
name for the first time.
The book also contains spaces for the
photographs of the entire bridal party
as we'll as for bits of the gowns worn.
Just before the departure of the happy
couple maid might carry around sill
yer bowl full of rice, so that each guest
may shower the departing bride with
the emblem of prosperity. The last de-
tail, although its preparation may ante.

rage notice for the press.-New York

ROYALTY and Mustaches.

It has been remarked that in addition
to her other personal attractions the in
fanta is in possession of what the French
call leger duvet, or, in plain English, the
down upon the upper lip. American
women, more particularly those whose
associations and observations have been
confined to their native land, have come
to look upon the leger duvet as some
thing unfeminine and unattractive. 1t
is rather a distinctive matter of pride,
however, to the beauties Of the Latin
nations, and is taken, moreover, as
badge of strength of character and an
indication of self reliance without as
Stunning the coarser vigor of masculinity.
When Rome was in its ''most high
and palmy state" the women of the re-
fined and cultured set affected not only
the down on the lip, but hirsute growth
on the face. They resorted to artificial
means and smeared ointment over their
cheeks to stimulate the growth of hair.
Cicero says that the practice became SO
universal that law was passed against
it. The Greeks also were affected in the
same manner and gave their Cyprian
Venus beard to enhance her good looks.

Immigration For May.

The immigration figures just issued by
the bureau of statistics of the treasury
department for the month of May show
a very considerable reaction in the direc-
ton of increased immigration from the
falling off of last year. For the five
months ending May 81, as compared
with the corresponding period of the
previous year, there was falling off of
10000 and upward, and for the II
months falling off of 10000. But for
the month of May, as compared with
the corresponding month of 1899, there
was gain of 3,143. The details of the
showing are interesting. The largest
gain over last year was in Italian immi-
grafton, 1852. The largest loss was in
German immigration, 6,199. There was
a falling off in the immigration from
Great Britain of nearly 1900. and gain
in Austrian-Hungarian of 1900. There
were considerable gains from the Neither
lands, Russia, Sweden and Norway, and
a small gain from France. The account
with Denmark and Switzerland shows
losses. The aggregate for the month was
as follows: Austria Hungary-Bohemia,
1000; Hungary, $3.50; other Austria lex

Decorated Prayer Books.

Prayer books are fad this season,
especially those for youthful brides. A
beautiful volume containing four origi-
nal sonnets done in antique silver letter
ing upon rough edged parchment has
center piece upon the outside of old
Flemish lace. bordered with small imi-
tation pearls. Orange buds and leaves
are embroidered in groups on both sides
of the white satin cover and silver filigree
protectors lap over the corners. The
richest covers for brides prayer books,
which contain only the marriage service,
are of MORE or silk, suede kid, or of
white satin, MORE or silk corduroy. The
last named material admits of but little
embroidery, and this appears at the cor
ners, the brides initials in silver taking
the center of the cover in front. The re-
verse has the date of the marriage also
in silver lettering. For covers of white
satin or MORE narrow borders of ecclesi-
astical COUGHING in silver thread and &C.
clesiastical silk are used.- -

The pilgrimage to Mecca has been ex-
traordinarily large this year, the total
number of pilgrims already being about
double that of last year. Over 10000
have passed through Suez alone, and it
is estimated an equal number have ar
rived at Mecca by overland caravans.
The usual resultant conditions of the pill
grim season favorable to epidemics have
been consequently aggravated, and the
Egyptian quarantine board has declared

piled severe measures to prevent the

after year enforces the same lesson. For
more than thirty years ALLcooK's Porous

the world, and the testimony is universal
as to their value as an external remedy for
pains of every kind in the back, chest and

SO well that they try to initiate them, and
the result is host of counteIfeits, all pre-

A Chicago baking powder concern, ad.
vertising far and near that its product
received the highest award for strength,

the pretenders as false in the most UNI

clsanlin... SAVE. Lac.

With the approach Of hot weather the
question of clean, healthy surroundings
is one that must command the attention
Of every one, and especially in view of
the fact that reports have been published
that cholera can always be prevented by
keeping things clean. The physician
should be the preacher of cleanliness, for
cleanliness saves more lives than ail OF
the drugs known to us. This includes
body cleanliness as well as that of sur
roundings. Use water, deodorizers and
disinfectants steadily through the hot
season. There is sanitary condition of
our bodies as well as our surroundings.
Bad matter is continually exuding from
the pores of the skin, and if this is not
washed off frequently it will become the
breeding place for disease germs. Fatal
germs are in dust dirt and particles that
float in the air. These cling to the body,
and under, the warmth of the heat from
the body they multiply.
Many who are filthy get infectious dis
eases, while those who are clean escape.
It is the safest protection that one can
obtain to surround the body with clean
skin. Our surroundings must also be
clean, sweet and pure. Filth creates in
fictitious atmospheric conditions that baf-
&c the wisest sanitarian, and every cpl
demic begins in dirt. Decaying animal and
vegetable matter, imperfectly cleansed
clothing, person or bed, are all breeding
places for diseases that may in time be-
come epidemic. The physician should
work to prevent all of this, and every one
who has the good of his country in mind
should aid him in trying to keep the sur
roundings of the community clean and
sweet in hot weather.-Yankee Blade.

An Eager and a Nipping Wind.

A continuous down pour of rain, inclem-

spring, are unfavorabIe to all classes of in
valids. But warmth and activity infused
into the circulation counteracts these in
tlunnces and interpose a defense against
them. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, most
thorough and effective of stomachics and
tones, not only enriches the blood, but
accelerates its circulation. For chill, or
premonitory symptoms of rheumatism
and kidney complaint, particularly preva-
lent at these seasons, it is the best possible
remedy. 1t is also invaluable for dyspep-
STA liver complaint, constipation and ner-
vousness. Never set out on winter OF

greatly aided by it.
