ABOUT BLACKHEADS.
Almost Invariably They Are an Indication
of General Debility.

Almost Invariably They Are an Indication
of General Debility.
Blackheads, or comedo, as it is called,
Is disorder of the sweat-glands by
which they lcc.u re distcnIad with yell
.o~iah or whilish matter. In the CEN
ter of the elevations, which are only of
pinhead size, are to be seen the black
ish points which give the disease it's
name.
The spots are usually numerous, and
make their appearance mostly on the
face and neck. They run a peculiarly
sluggish course, and by their presence
the skin acquires thick, muddy COM
plexion.
Blackheads are almost invariably an
indication of general debility, as they
are u sign of badly working skin.
Their appearance is usually accompan-.
led by marked dyspepsia and constipa-
ton.
The treatment of blacl1heads is iden-
tical with that for toning up the system
in general. Clean out the bowels,
sharpen the appetite, enrich the blood,
and the tendency to the trouble will be
removed or lcssened. Saline aperient
waters should be drunk freely and
every attention paid to the diet,
AS local treatment the skin should
have frequent applications of water Is
hot as can be comfortably borne, to-
gcthcr with plenty of CASTLE soap and
friction. The little black cones may
be easily expelled by means of a watch
key. Stimulating ointments and
washes should be used, especially those
containing sulphur, as this substance
is not only good skin tonic, but is
specially useful in the disorder Of
which we are speaking.
A lotion containing equal parts Of
sulphur, glyccrine, carbonate Of pot
ash and alcohol, Is valuable remedy,
us it is cleansing and soothing.
Sometimes the swollen sweat-gland
contains small curled hair, some
times parasite known as DemodeX
folliculorum, which, however, is harm
less and in no way the cause of the dis
ease.
Attention must of course be directed
to any disease of the stomach or bow
els that may eXist.-Youth's Compan-
on.

facing the side Of the horse on which
the buck stands.

Many of these closets have silk cur

There are delicate greens of u cash

crinliled, variegated material being the
most gorgeous. But any simple drapery
will do if the curtain design is wanted.
To secure fine decorative bit--all
tones in china for a closet should be

flowers. is the dress fabric, and it is cut
in imitation of a princess gown. The
skirt has a front breadth of ACCORDION
plated black chiffon. but the sides and
back, all forming deep godets, are of
the figured stuff. A vest Of the plated
chiffon appears on the blouse, and the
sleeves from the figured stuff terminate
at the elbows. The gathered stock col
lar is of black chiffon. Something dis
tinctly new in the way Of neck finish is
a pair Of black gauze rosettes, so
large that they fill the neck line from
tip Of ear to shoulder. These rosettes
connected by bands of gathered gauze,
which, instead Of being drawn closely
about the front and back Of the neck
in the usual choker fashion, are drawn
down into points, front and back, dis
closing the rise of the neck prettily, and
effectually masking all scrawny lines at
the sides or tips of collar bones. From
the lower edge Of the connecting piece
in front spreads a ruffle Of the gauze.
Such an affair may be worn by a
scrawny woman with her ''V' bodice,
rendering it becoming and dressy, too.

Hints to Housekeepers,


Vaseline makes the best dressing for
russet shoes.
Spirits Of turpentine is the thing with
which to cleanse and brighten patent
leather.
Moderately strong salt and water
taken by the teaspoonful at intervals
is cure for catarrhal cold.
A level teaspoonful Of boracic acid
dissolved in a pint of freshly boiled
water and applied cool is the best
wash for inflamed sore eyes or granu-
lated lids, and an excellent gargle for
inf1amed sore throat.
Soft newspaper is excellent to cleanse
windows or any glassware.
Cold tea cleanses paint better than
soap and water unless the paint is
white, when milk is better.
If meat is tough, or if You have any
doubt Of its tenderness. put a table
spoonful Of vinegar over it when put on
to cook: you will find it very tender
when done.
Sweetmeats, such as jellies. jams.
and pound-for-pound preserves. must
be saved for luncheon or dinner, and
spiced fruits. as a rule, do not belong
on the breakfast table; but a glass Of
cool fruit juice is refreshing in the
morning and decoys one through the
doubtful pleasure Of eating bread and
steak.

FASHION NOTES.

The plated and rosetted collars OF
chiffon are still. to be seen: in fact. the
lavish use Of this material bids fair to
last all through the summer.
The fulness in gigot sleeves IS dis
posed in gathers or plaits at the shoul-
ders, the distended effect being attained
equally well by both modes Of adjust
ment.
Sleeves for plain dresses are always
worn long, sometimes too long. Some
end in the form Of the mouth OF a
blunderbuss or Of flute, and are most
unbecoming.
In a charming blouse waist the pouch
falls from pointed yoke, and the close
back is relieved by box plait. Box
plaits are just now conspicuous attri-
butes of blouses.
The full sleeve should have the lining
cut Of the same size to insure them to
lay in artistic folds. inexperienced
dressmakers do not realize what diff
ference this will make to the fit and cor.
rect droop Of the sleeves.
The demand for shirt waists exceeds
that Of any other season on record, and
tuSy are AudoC Al q 6ASoISA NoAASeS "
materials than ever before, the latest OF
which is dimity, made up with white
linen collars and cuffs.
Another whim Of fashion which
amounts to a craze is the large collar Of
lawn, batiste. lace, chiffon and embroid-
cry, which is displayed in such diver
sity of styles in the shops and worn over
every imaginable sort Of gown in the
street.
Some Of the overccats worn are very
unbecoming. They are a kind Of sac
paletot and are quite straight and al
most reaching the knees, thus resem-
bling a sort Of floating camisole. The
sleeves are very large, very long and
tight at the wrist.
The new plain and figured mohairs are
gaining favor very rapidly. They are
very silky in appearance, light in weight
and do not hold the dust The new
alpacas most approved of fashion are a
widely meshed material, peculiarly
glossy, but almost rough in finish.
White pique is worn for young girls
mourning, and even for young mar
ried woman when the mourning Is not
deep. The white pique used for mourn
ing should be trimmed with black.
Black mousseline de sole frilled very
fine should be used to trim the neck,
flaps and waist, ard produces a very
pretty effect.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation:
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

Well Deserved.

Lord D., proverbial hater Of America
and Americans. was dining lately In
Paris with the British Minister. Next
to him at the table was a noted New
port belle. Miss X.
The conversation had drifted to dis
cussion of things American, and Lord
D. made some disagreeable remarks
about some Americans he had met and
some Yankee customs he abhorred.
"Why, dye know" he continued, with
an unpardonable want Of tact, that
at some Of the places that dined at in
America I saw people eat with their
knives and spill their soup on the table
cloth."
Miss x was thoroughly provoked by
this time, but she replied with an ap-
parent unconcern:
What poor letters of introduction you
must have had, my lord!'
There was no more unpleasant talk
about Americans that evening.-Ex.

Outdoor Hats,

For hats to be worn in outdoor sports
the general rule is to have them Of the
dress goods or something that is dis
tinctly harmonious with it. For golf,
the crown is usually soft and the brim
stitched many rows around. High
loops Of ribbon trim the left side. Hats
are made in this same style Of very soft
milan straw, with the brim little
curled, and just at one side Of the front
a rosette holds a bunch Of stiff cock
plumes. Cycling hats have tam O
shanter crowns with q narrow flexible
brim that Is often cleft just at the
front. Near the front a ribbon holds q
bunch Of Quills set at jaunty angle.
So-called steamer hats, which are also
used for any long journey and for the
mountains. are . soft felt In alpine
shape. A bow Of gros grain In front
holds . bunch Of QuillA

A Fish Hook Rebound.

A few weeks ago DR.. Kennedy was
trout fishing in the head waters Of the
Dutch Hollow brook and lost fair
sized fish by the parting Of the line
where it was tied in the ring Of the
hook. Tuesday he tried the same
stream and captured thirteen pretty
good ones. While eating one for sup
per the head Of the trout contained a
bone that the doctor couldn't chew and
felt rather prickly. Upon taking it out
Of his mouth it proved to be the hook
he lost when the line broke on the pre-
vious trip. He could identify his prop
erty through popularity Of the hooks
used by him.-Auburn Advertiser.

Women Not Called "Frofe..or.,

While Smith College has both men
and women as members of the faculty
it does no, confer the welI-earned dig
nifty Of the professional title upon the
latter, even when they fill positions as

as responsible and onerous as those held
by the other sex. There were 74e stu
dents enrolled last year with a teaching
force Of only IS. nearly two-thirds OF
whom were women, but not professors.

Hat Trimmings

For hat trimmings tulips and other
large petaled flowers are made Of lace,
flowers being cut in many cases from
rich lace patterns that are wired and
bent into shape. The effect is charm
ingly dainty on rich hats, but the lover
Of lace shudders at the despoliation Of
the lace just as many women shrink
from the whole birds for trimming.
Another new use of lace finds it stif-
fened by loops of wire, gathered into
outstanding punches and placed on hats
as in aigrette fashion.

GOdet Skirt Still Rules.

=. Women generally are greatly pleased
with the godet skirt, which has become
SO widely accepted that some Of its
stiff plaits are included in the new de-
signs that are offered in the hope that
they will eventually supplant it. If
proof were needed that the godet skirt
Is highly popular, it would be plentiful
from the fact that new skirt designs
are but slight alterations of the godet,
showing that the designers do not dare
to attempt complete change. One of

how charmingly a second material, to
be repeated in the bodice. can form the
fans. For the woman who is so situ-
ated that she must strive to make her
own dresses, it is a good rule to avoid
cutting new cloth, If possible, but when
It comes to the combination Of two or
three scant gowns into a single fashion
able one, then take advantage Of all
these privileges, Sitting and setting
In. In the original Of this illustration
the materials were lady's cloth, in dark
tan for the skirt, and very light tan
for the fan plaits. The latter gives the
Jacket bodice and is therein embroid-
cred with dark tan silk braid. The
huge revers and turned-down collar are
untrimmed, save for a cut-steel button
on each rever, and the vest is Of white
silk with high collar and lace drapery
at the waist.

Evening Head Dress.

AS if following the lead of fans, which
are now made in empire style, covered
all over with spangles, looking quite as
picturesque as ever grandmother fan
could, evening head-dresses follow the
picturesque empire styles. On top of
the head at the end of the part stands
a big bow, with a regular wheel of
wide-spreading ends and loops. From
under this bow falls a jabot Of lace
down each side of the head, over the
ears and to the shoulders, and lace
covers the back Of the hair, too. The
whole effect is quaint and generally be-
coming.

the prettiest Of the new skirts is pre-

places: one at either side of the front.
one at each side, and one in the middle

slash, the edges Of the fan blending
carefully into the slashed material. The
entire skirt may be Of one material and
one color, or, if preferred, the fan plaits
may be Of color or material to make it
harmoniZe with the bodice for which
the skirt is planned. AS means to-
