FRUIT AS A COSMETIC
Uses of a Lemon on 1y Lady'S
Toilet Table.
IT'S BENEFITS ARE GREAT
For Complexion, Hair, Nails, Teeth, and
Bath There Is Nothing Equal
TO Natural Acidity.

The very latest cosmetic is the lemon.
In countries where they grow as freely as
apples do in the temperate zone this fact is
appreciated, and their virtues availed of;
but their admirable qualities are worthy Of
wider knowledge. Lemons are not so costly
even in the coolest countries, that women
may not easily afford to use this tropical
aid TO the toilet.
In the care of the complexion it is inyalu
able, particularly in summer, when a few
drops squeezed into the water in which the
face is washed removes all greasiness and
leaves the skin fresh and velvety. A little
lemon juice rubbed on the cheeks before
going to bed and allowed to dry there will
remove freCkles and sunburn and whiten the
skin, beside giving it a charming Smeothness
and softness to the touch. This should be
done about three times week, both winter
and summer, and is OF the greatest aid 10

SHIRT WAIST AND GIRDLE.

II HE shirt waist is still with us, and will
be quite as much in evidence as ever.
There is little of novelty about these
comfortable waists, except the fact that
the most expensive ones have lining OF
thin but substantial lawn, which causes
them to fit the figure, and appear more
trim than those which arc unlined. Unless
the latter are carefully put on and pinned
down they are apt to appear baggy and
neglge.
Drawing strings are run in casing at
the waist, so that they can be readily iaun
dered. Adjustable collars and cuffs, like
those on mems shirts, are Of white linen or
colored lawn, and are sold separately or
with the waist.
The laundress must use great care in do
ing up these swell waists, which are, how
ever, usually dry cleaned at the dyers, the
result being more certain than when the
services of the laundress are called in.
Splendid girdes, which have rather a

COAST DEFENSES.

Gen, Crnishill Explains Their Condi-
ton to the Senate Committee.
A meeting Of the Senate committee on
coast defeuses was held this morning. Gen.
Craighill, chief Of engineers, and Capt
Black Of the engineer corps. his assistant,
made important statements.
Gen. Craighill explained to the committee
the great need of immediate additional ap-
preparation for coast defenses and stated
the amount which could be economically
ard profitably expended by the bureau OF
er gineers for that purpose during the fiscal
year ending June 30. 1896. also the larger
additional amount for each year thereafter
until the completion Of the project of the
government The defenseless condition of
the seacoast cities was explained, showing
that the amount proposed In Senator
Suuire's bill for coast defenses are none
tco large, and are not only justified, but
absolutely required. Gen. Craighin ex-
mediately the sum of $4.500,O0O could be
economically expended by the bureau Of
engineers during the fiscal year.
The committee then proceeded to investi-
gate the question of torpedoes and the pro-
vision already made therefor and what is
contemplated in the plans of the govern
ment, elciting much Information upon that
important branch Of our national defenses
from Capt. Black, who is recently from the
torpedo school at Willets Point n. Y, and
is an expert on that subject.
The Importance Of the subject is such
that the committee will continue its ses-
sions daily during the present week and
Eext week, hoping to be able to report a
bill at an early date.

THE TREASURY GOLD.

Fear That Heavy Withdrawals May
He Made During the Month.
The treasury gold reserve today is $751;
32G, 10. In financial circles here the fear
is expressed that the recent heavy with
drawals are but the beginning of heavy
expectations. 1t is recalled that during last
January the wthdra wafs amounted to
about s45,O0O.OO0, of. which s8Q.OOO.OOO were
withdrawn within two weeks, and over
100000 in one day. The fact that thirty
/ days must elapse before the new bond is
sue can be closed and the contracts award
ed seems to add to the anxiety heretofore
felt, and in some quarters the opinion is
expressed that before the 1st of February
arrives the gold reserve Will have been re-
duced considerably below, any point it has
reached hitherto.
So far treasury officials have received
orly a few kilograms concerning the new
loan, and 9bese We're not of character to

THE CUBAN INSURGENTS.
Feeling In the House as to Their
Recognition.


Recognition.
Some of the members of the House are
exhibiting considerable impatience to take
up the question of the recognition of the Gu
ban insurgents. The criticism by Don NJ.
Dickinson of Congress for it's inaction IS
taken sensitively by some. The committee
on foreign affairs ard the Speaker are de-
termined, however, not to take any hasty
action, and do not propose to permit any
thing to be done without deliberate consid-
Grafton by the committee They contend
that this cautious course does not indicate
any lack of sympathy with the Cuban pa
triots, but insist that no recognition should
be given the insurgents until they have
done something substantial to show that
they are entitled to recognition. 1t looks
now as if the insurgents might soon be in
a position to fully warrant this recognition,
but it is held by men of influence in the
House that the time has not yet come and
that there is no occasion for haste. The
committee adopted the Mccall resolution
calling on the Secretary of State for infor-
nation on the subject, and this informa-
tion is awaited. The representatives Of the
insurgents in Washington have laid their
case before the Seer etary of State. 1t is
understood that the papers which they left
at the department will be transmitted to
Congress by the Secretary, together with
such other information as the department
possesses.
A number Of resolutions on the subject of
the recognition of Cuba have been put in
through the petition box, and these the
committee expect to consider in a short
time. The ultimate adoption Of such a
resolution is anticipated.

THE ISLAND OF TRINIDAD.
Feeling In DraEil Against Britain,
Arbitration Proposal.


The news that the British government
had proposed to submit the question Of the
right Of possession Of the Island Of Trini-
dad, which was taken possession OF in
January Of last year by an English expedi-
ton. to arbitration, has been very badly
received by the public and press of Brazil.
The right Of Brazil to the island. recogniz-
ed by England herself on a former notable
occasion is considered SO unimpeachable
that the refusal Of Sr. Carvalho, the Bra
lillian minister Of foreign affairs. to con-
slider the question as a matter for arbitra-
ton was almost universally applauded by
the press.
The declaration of Sr. Quintino Boca-
yuva, senator for Rio de Janeiro, in the
senate, that THE proposition is a complete
denial Of our positive and incontestable
right" was applauded by all the senators
present.
Turning to the question OF the recent dis
turbances in the contested territory be-
tween Brazil and French Guiana. Sr.
Bocayuva declared that the Ill will Of
France toward Brazil ever since the ad-
vent of the republic had been constant
and systematic"

than herself; and adds that of that fact
a minister of foreign affairs Of Brazil
should be the first to be convinced.
1t was not to be supposed, however, that
Brazil would content itself with simple
protest against the Illegal occupation of
the island; but 1t was believed that the
government while rejecting arbitration,
would agree to submit the question to the
mediation of friendly nation, which ap-
pears to be an acceptance Of the principle

THE RAID ON GOLD.
What the President May Do Under
Certain Circumstances.

What the President May Do Under
Certain Circumstances.
The Withdrawals Of gold from the treas
ury thus far this week are looked upon as
ominous by treasury officials, but this re-
suit is not altogether unexpected by the
administration. They would not be sur
prised If serious raid should be made,
taking practically all of the gold out Of the
treasury, and If this should occur they will
be disposed to say. Il told you so.'' 1t is
what the President and his secretary ex-
pected to result from an attempt at a pop
ular loan.
1t is said that in anticipation OF a raid
on the gold a course has already been de-
cided on, to be follow ed as soon as the re-
serve is run below certain point. As soon
as it becomes apparent Gf it does) that
the gold in the treasury Is being drawn on
for the purchase of the proposed bonds, the
President will, it is said, withdraw the ad-
vertisement for bonds and at once make
a contract with the syndicate for gold. 1t
is believed that he will not wait for the
reserve to sink much lower before doing
this provided 1t IS evident that the gold
is being withdrawn in consequence of the
offer OF bonds.
