LEMONS AS MEDICINE.

SIary . CUrc Is Effected by These Simple
and Palatable Remedies.
Lemon Juice sweetened with loaf or
crushed sugar will relieve o cough.
For feyerishness and an unnatural
thirst soften lemon by rolling on q
hard surface, cut off the top. add sugar
and work it down into the lemon with
fork, then suck it slowly.
During the warm months q sense of
GOODNESS, comfort and invigoration can
be produced by free use of lemonade.
For six large glasses of lemonade use
six large, juicy lemons. Roll on hard
surface so that the juice can he easily
extracted. Peel and slice. Add suffi-
cient sugar to sweetcn and stir it well
into the Juice before adding the water
Hot lemonade will break up cold if
taken at the start. Make it the same as
cold lemonade, only use boiling water
instead of cold water and use about one
half as much sugar.
A piece of lemon, or stale bread mois-
tened with lemon juice, bound on a
corn will cure it. Renew night and
morning. The first application will pro-
duce soreness, but if treatment is per-
sisted in for reasonable length of time
cure will be effected
The discomfort caused by sore and
tender feet may be lessened, if not en-.
tirely cured, by applying slices of lem.
ons on the feet.
To cure chilblains take a piece OF
lemon, sprinkle fine salt over it and rub
the feet we'll. Repeat if necessary.
Lemon juice will relieve roughness
and vegetable stains on the hands Aft
err having the hands in hot soapsuds
rub them with piece of lemon. This
will prevent chapping and make the
hands soft and white. Philadelphia

AZ interfering Pom Picture OF tho Russian

an Intorcutinf- Pom Picture OF tho Russian
City In Siberia.
Vludivostoli has tho aspect of an in
| ferior Hongkong, OF about u quarter the
! size. Hills crowned with forts rise round
it up to height of 500 feet. 1t lies on
the south side of peninsula 30 miles
long, called Maravief Amursky, in 43
degrees minutes 81 seconds north lati-
tude, and 13l degrees 81 minutes 81 sec.
onds east longitude. The town is bo-
tween four and five miles long, but is
struggling and unconneoted, and Of no
breadth. Some streets are very steep, and
all are horribly dusty in dry weather,
being never watered, and being contin-
ually crossed in all directions by dros-
kies driven ut smart pace Instead of
payements the streets have Sidewalks"
Of planks, rs commonly seen in new
American cities. You take six stout
planks, some 90 feet long, and lay them
side by side. and you continue tho proc
ess for the requisite number of versts
or miles (three versts are two miles),
and the Sidewalk" is complete, save
for few props and nails where the
ground is too soft, or the foundation
degenerated into holes.
The droskies are driven by redheaded,
snub nosed Russian izvozchiks in low,
glazed stovepipe hats, with very curly
brims, red sleeves, plated black skirts
and high boots. In them one often sees,
lolllng as passengers, u couple of frowsy
Chinese or a still frowsier Korean. The
fare is only so kopecks, or shilling and
is pence, an hour, or over half an hour,
and from point to point there are ten
penny and fivepenny fares, according to
distance. The regulations forbid charg-
ing moro, but, with fine irony, allow
the driver ito take less, if he likes. !"

Tho Swiss Pike,

The name of the Swiss is generally
identified with the long pike of the IS
foot shaft, and most gallant attempts
have been made by recent writers TO
prove that this celebrated weapon was q
Swiss invention and employed by the
confederates from the first. The point,
however, is one that must remain I'M.
certain, for the earliest mention of the
long pike is found in an order addressed
III 1927 by Count Philip of Savoy to the
burghers of Turin, and no one can tell
whether the Savoyards borrowed it from
the Swiss or the Swiss from the Savoy
ards The primitive weapons Of all in.
fantry seem to be the spear and shield.
Tho Milanese fought with such spears
and pixies eight OF ten feet In length at
Legnano, the Scotch at Falkirk and
the Flemings at Courtrai, SO that it is
impossible really to predicate of any one
nation that it added the requisite num-
Der OF feet to make the Weapons shaft
IN order to make it long pike. There
IS no mention of pixies in the battles of
the Swiss until Sempach, and it is prob
able that in that action they were not
above ter feet i'll length.

Hints From q Beauty Doctor That VIII
Improve Poor Compilations.
Frcchlos are due to an excess of colorlng
matter deposited in the second layer of tho
skin underneath the cuticle They arc
caused by an oxocss Of iron in tho blood
If they are not of worry dark color hey
can be bleached out, but If they are of tho
pronounced brown species, their removal
will consist in destroying the outer layers
of the skin.
A paste composed Of vinegar, honey and
bitter almonds is said to be good for no
moving frcckles.
AS n general thing the blood is not re-
sponsible for the different bomishcs which,
appear on the face. Dirt gets into tho
pores of the skin and the result is an erup-
tion of some sort
Pimplcs should be opened with q needle
or sharp knife, the secretion squeezed out
and n lotion of a wineglass of strong vino
gar, two ounces of glycerin and half u
pint of distilled water applied.
For people troubled with moist or oily
skin, q hot soapsuds bath once week is
recommended, using castillo soap, rs it is
OF drying nature. Bay rum and camphor
may DO used by such persons, as they dry
the oil somewhat, when the camphor
would parch other compilations. The opi-
UNI found in tho stems of Towering lettuce
rehnes the skin and absorbs the oil. Rub
the milky juice collected from broken
stems of garden lettuce over the face at
night, allowing it to dry on.
Wrinkles depend on the attenuation of
the skin and the reduction in bulk of the
underlying surfacial portions of tho body.
They are not disease, but are the results
OF worry, grimaccs, poor health, etc.
Wrinkles ought not to appear before the
1ftieth year, but how often wo SEQ them
at 20. Tho moro dolicato the skin the more
subject it is to these disdgurcments.-
