India ink her brows and lashes or paint
her lips. Now when it is said that "she
does not use any of these artificial aids
TO beauty" 1t does not mean that she
makes no effort to help nature by every
means in her power. but she does it in
natures own way, and undoubtedly uses
some of the recipes given above.

brushed and perfumed, the locks treat
ed to rubbings and crimpings that take
much time but present such satisfactory
results that when all is over no artificial
switches or bangs could ever look so
beautiful as the GROWING glory of the
American Woman--her own abundant,
well kept braids and soft coils of hair.
No rouge Is ever used on the face of the
genuine high-bred American beauty, but
there is massage with cold cream,
steamings, and an amount of care given
to the study of the skin and the keep
ing open of the pores that necessarily
lend the desira bic pinkish tint and make
the cheeks soft and peachy as a baby's.
The first principle to be regarded by
those desiring to have a clear complex

by this time you have arrived at the con-
clusion that to be attra ctive an unclean,
uHnedltny DOuy is as repfenenSlDle as an
unclean soul. If you have a pale, sal
low skin, then you are debilitated and
need tonic. Consult a physician, or
else take beef, wine and iron and keep
the pores of the skin open by daily baths.
Try steaming and see what it will do for
you. It is certainly an active agent in
warding off wrinkles but some skins
cannot stand it.. At least the temporary
effects are very annoying. l met a case

Her Ovcle Book.

The bicycle book is the latest, pretty
conceit which will doubtless find favor
with the fair devotees of the wheel, If
not with those of the sterner sex. 1t is
intended to be used as 4 sort of diary of
length of each ride. Like the address
book and the calling list book, which
have been found really useful, this little
book is handmade. The best OF paper
should be used and the cover should be
of canvas, parchment or leather. A tiny
painting, or a pen-and-ink drawing Of q

Two Interesting Casts,

The United States National museum
has two Persepolitan casts of great inter-
est Professor Cyrus Adler tells how they
came to the museum. In 1899 the Hon.
Truxton Beale, United States minister to
Persia, obtained permission Of the Persian
government to remove certain objects from
Persepolis for the United States National
museum. The weight of the objects and
the difficulties of transportation made this
impossible. When at Persepolis, Mr. Her
bert Weld Blundell twas already engaged
in taking molds of the bas-reliefs and Gu
neiform Inscriptions ON the walls for the
British museum" Two molds were pre-
sented by Mr.. Blundell for the United
States National museum. One of the casts
is the copy Of an inscription in Persian
cuneiform characters, made at the COM
mand Of Artaxerxes CID Oohus, who
reigned 85S-44 B. G..
This inscription has been often trans
lated. The text tells of the great god Au-
ramadza, the creator of mankind; then fol-
lows the genealogy of the king. The con-
clusion reads: "Thus speaks the King Ar
taxerxes, May Auramadza and the god
Mithras protect me and this land and what
I have made" The second cast represents
one Of the bodyguards Of the king. 1t Is

dress, bearing bow and quiver and hold

The height of the cast is feet inches by

EX-CONGREssMAN Tom WATSON, of
Georgia, in his Populist paper, says
that the free coinage Of silver OF itself
has no connection with prices high or
low That is simply the quantity of
of money. So we find disagreement
among silverites. Up this way the
theory is put forth by many silverites
that if unlimited free coinage is in
dulged in, prices will at once increase.
But Watson's idea that the guam
tity of money makes prices high,
is one of the queer vagaries which
runs riot among the Populists and all
fat money advocates. With them
the supply and demand in relation to
any product is never considered. Take
for instance the crop of potatoes raised
last season. The supply was far be-
yond any demand for them, and con-
sequently the price fell to a point that
barely paid for handling them. But
according to Tom Watson and many
other free silverites, the supply and
demand had nothing to do with the
price. 1t was simply because the
supply of money was not large enough.
Double the volume of money; give
everybody two dollars where now he
has one, and of his own volition, with
no reference as to what the supply
and demand is, he will give twice as
much for an article as he otherwise
would. This is the theory of the
fiatists. Great logic isn't it? 1t con-
forms so closely to human nature, too.
