Cure for Suuburn.

Sunburn sometimes causes intense
suffering. Among all tho remedies the
following is one of the best: As soon
as you get indoors order pitcher of
boiling water. Fold to half dozen
thicknesses a cloth large enough to
cover the whole OF your face. Pour
over this enough of the hot water to
wet it through. Wiring it lightly-it
must be hot enough to make this
painful process-ard lie down with it
pressed over your face, leaving space
for your mouth. Let the cloth remain
till cool. Then dip again, keeping the
water hot all thu time. After half an
hour of this dip the cloth in cool
water, not ice cold. two or three
times; then rub the face gently with
white vaseline. Rub off with clean,
soft cloth and put on fresh vaseline I;
then lie down for an hours sleep. Un-
less the sunburn is bone deep there
will be small trace Of the painfulness
left after two hours OF this treatment.

new shirt waists been made with this
high, ,stifflinen collar, but the silk waists
have this season for the first time been
worn with it. This freak of fashion
has been one of the novelties of the
season. The linen collar has had but
one real rival, and that has been the
ribbon stock. When the day has been
exceptionally warm the soft ribbon
stock has been worn in place of the
high collar. Now the question of
rivalry is Mt nm end. From Paris comes
new collar, which is n combination
of the ribbon stock and the high linen
collar. Its novelty has made it an
immediate success. The collar is of
linen, about us high ns the ordinary
collar, and is cut clerical fashion, not
opening at oil in front. Technically
1t is called Roman collar. 1t fastens
at the back with collar studs. A series
of holes about an inch apart ore cut in
the collar and form line entirely
around it. In and out through these

edly the smallest equine specimen on
earth. "Dot," MS this midget is called,
has q remarkable history; for, unlike
other dwarfs of her race, she was tho
product of an ancestry of ordinary,
everyday horses.
Both her dam and sire were OF the
usual sizs and appearance, and so far
MS is known there is no reason for her
remarkably diminutive form. She is
therefore purely freak. When born
she was not much larger than kitten.
and had to be fed by her owner from
the beginning. Great care was given
the tiny colt in the effort to raise her,
and now she is full grown, almost
perfectly formed and vigorous IN
health.
Many offers of large sums have been
made Mr.. Hunton by museum and
circus managers for "Dot," who is, OF
course, much wanted for exhibition
purposes. These have oil been refused,
because Mr.. Hunton has two little
daughters who are so much attached
to the family pet that he has not been
able to secure their consent. Being
wealthy himself, it is probable that
those who wish to see the tiniest horse
on the globo will have to SEQ it on the
farm of its owner.

this cruise is the stifiest and hardest
work they have ever done, and it is
also the finest holiday they have ever
enjoyed.
This paradox is easily explained.
The Bancroft now carries but half of
her regular crew, and all the drudgery
of running warship falls upon the
cadets. This means that the boys have
to take their turns in the stokehole

raking over smoking ash pits, going
aloft to furl sail in blustery weather,

The main object Of the Bancroft's
cruise was to give the young men q
chance to see the great shipbuilding
plants along the Atlantic seaboard,
where they could learn something of
the practical side of naval construction.
The first place visited was the immense
yards at Newport News, where three
gunbonts and two bnttleships are be.
ing built. A week was spent there, and
another week was spent in the yards of
the Cramps, at Philadelphia, where a
number OF ships IRE beinpsconstructed.

large mechanical places in Philadel-
phin we're also visited. Elizabethport,
N. j., where punboat if being built
in the Nixon shipyard, was visited,
and then the Bancroft came to New
York, where many vessels of the North
Atlantic squadron were, including the
monster Indiana, the giant monitor
Amphitrite and innumable cruisers Of
all types. At the Brooklyn Navy
Yard many boats are undergoing re-
pairs, and these afforded splended
chances Tor observing the details of
warship construction.
The torpepo station and the War
College at Newport have been visited,
and after stopping at all the principal
manufacturing towns along the New

Recognizing that the money question
is paramount to all others at this time.
we invite attention to the fact that. the
federal constitution names silver and
gold together as the money metals of the
United states, and that the first coinage
law passed by congress under the con-
~stitution made the silver dollar the unit
of value and admitted gold to free coin

dollar unit.
We declare that the act of 1873 dem
onetizing silver without the knowledge
or approval of the American people has
resulted in the appreciation of gold and
a corresponding fall in the price of COM
mOdities produced by the people: a
heavy increase in the burden of taxation
and of all debts, public and private; the
enrichment of the money lending class
at home and abroad; paralysis of iudus-
try and impoverishment of the people.
We are unalterably opposed to the
single cold standard, which has locked
fast the prosperity of an industrious
people in the paralysis of hard times.
Gold monometallism is a British policy
founded upon British greed for gain and

brought other nations into final scrvi-

demand that the standard silver dollar
