A brilliant complexion is beauty IN II

people and the minds Of thinking people.
They know that really good complexion

There are different ways of initiating fne

these "counterfeit" compilations are un-
safe and easily detected. But the genuine,
unmistakeable, much admired color and
clearness of health can only be obtained
by clearing all bilious matters and humors
out of the blood. :,
The first step towards creating a good
complexion by Natures own method IS to
oet the blood clear, and the circulation free
and active. There is no complexion so sal

fresh glow of real health to the cheeks by
thoroughly clearing all bilious and eruptive
hutnors out of the blood. 1t strengthens
the digestion and regulates the bowels in
a mild, natural way. 1t gives brighter color

complexion but makes the eyes brighter

Fernando came at last, little dream

Minitti in the company of Sir George
and at once rightly conjec ured that
his release was owing to her inter-
cession, but his astonishment was
beyond description when the true
position of the matter was explained
to him. Suddenly he became sad,
and tear even irembled in his
h,ndsome eye, when the justice ask
ed
"What grieves you, my friend I"
ITO realize, sir, that Mlnitti's
finding a father must be the cause of
our separation.

Il won't exactly say what, after the

Fernando pressed the tsarful girl
to his breast, saying:
"Dear Louise, blessed be the pow

SOURCE OF BUTLER s WIT.

The Earl OF Dorset, having great
desire to pass an evening with But.
Ter as a private gentleman, prevailed
upon common friend, to introduce
him into his company at tavern to
which they both repaired. While
the first bottle was being drunk,
Butler appeared very fiat and heavy.
At the second bottle he was extreme
ly brisk and lively, Astounding in wit
ana learning and making himself q
NEST agreeable conn anton. When
the third bottle was finished, he
again sank into such stupidity ard
dizziness, that hardly anybody could
have believed him to be the author
of Hudibras. The next day, the
Earl OF Dorset was asked his opinion
