SHAMPOOING THE FACE.
Process Said to Be Soothing and Bene-
ficial to Complexion.

Process Said to Be Soothing and Bene-
ficial to Complexion.
Did you ever try a face shampoo?
If not, try it once, and you will not
stop with the one trial After q morn
ing of hard shopping, when everything
has gone wrong, or after wearisome
day with the children, go to your room.
wash your face in the hottest water
that can be borne, with a sponge rubbed
with a little glycerine and pure CASTLE
soap. When the face is in fine, soft
lather, rub with almond-meal until dry;
battle with clear hot water until all
the soap and meal have been removed,
after which use cold water until the
face feels cold and the flesh firm. Dry
gently, and with soft linen cloth mois-
tened in cologne rub the eyebrows and
all about the roots of the hair. A dash
Of rice-powder takes off the shine and
does no harm.
By this time you are ready for n
flannel neglige and slippers; then take
a cup of hot tea with lemon in it, tuck
yourself snugly away beneath a down
coverlid, and give yourself up to quiet
sleep or pleasant day-dreams; and when
you come back again to earth all will
have rosy hue and you will love even
your worst enemy.-Chicago Tribune.

lecture says:
THE unnatural motions of the
stomach causing pressure and
belchings, the irritations of the
intestines resulting in catarrh of
the bowels, and the inflamed
mucous membranes are the most
fruitful of all known causes of
disease. Out of them grow most

betes, all rheumatic affections and

unnatural motions of the stomach
cease, the intestinal troubles be-

praise"

Why Walt whitman :
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Can you tell us who is the literary EDITOR
of the new Congressional Library building
the author and arranger of the various
names. words. notices and legends scat
tered through 1t? There are hundreds, per-
haps thousands, of these, and they are done
in paint and mosaic and solid marble.
Nothing could be more congruous with the
purpose of the building than these beautiful
memorials Of the great men in literature
and art whom this country and age have
produced. 1t will seem to some, however.
a little startling to find the name of Walt
Whitman in the front rank of Americas
literary men, between Bryant and Poe,
with Victor Hugo exactly opposite! Whit
man was a broad, generous and loving
spirit, but his most enthusiastic admirers
must confess that he was comparatively
unprcductive. And he had singular con-
tempt for art The insertion Of Whitman's
name seems to have compelled the onis-
sion Of those Of DR.. Holland, B. F. Taylor,
James g. Percival, John Pierpont, Sidney
Lanier. Bayard Taylor, Stedman and Stod-
dard, Joaquin Miller, Whitcomb Riley and
Eugene Field. Every one Of these men wrote
five times as much poetry as Whitman,
and every one Of them is more quoted than
he. Is Leaves Of Grass q great poem or
collection Of poems, as compared with Bay
ard Taylor's Lars" or Stod6ard's lyrics?
And why should N. P. Willis and John G.
SAKE be ignored? Both of them wrote
many trivialities, but both wrote serious
poems of a high order, and through their
lightcst humor ran sober philosophy.
However, 1t Is probably too late to revise
the new Congressional Library's home
which. Notwithstanding probable blemishes
will take its place as one of the two or
three handsomest buildings in the world.

SENDING WHEAT ABROAD.
Additional Railroad Space Needed "a
Accommodate the Business.

No better evidence can DE adduced &c
show the vast increase which has tak,r
place recently in the business of the Balti.
mere and Ohio Railroad Company than The
fact that the rush of grain from the wesi
to Locust Point for export has made tEs
need of more yard room there more ap.
parent than ever before, and i'm consequence
the work of charging che yard. here
tofore mentioned in The Star is being
pushed with great rigor, both by d anG
at night. q.
1t is thought that the great activity
which now exists in the grain market in
this country is caused 10y the rise in the
price of wheat and other cereals abroad
but il is believed by exporters and trans
portation men that there will not likely
be any abatement of the demand for cars
for several months at least
Both the big elevators al Locust Point,
one of which hasa capacity of l.s0nooG
and the other of l,5o0.0on bushels full
and many vessels are loaded. The build
ings are kept nearly full by the heavy daily
receipts from the west.
Owing to the scarcity of vessels. only
about one-half as much grain is being ship
ped could be were il possible 10 secure
more charters, and only about 200 carloads
are being put through, as against 400
which would be disposed of if there was a
sufficient supply of vessels.
Besides this quantity of grain, there are
from COO to 500 carloads of general mer-
chandise handled each day at these yards.
Receiver Murray and General Freight
Agent c. S. Wight were in Philadelphia a
few days ago, when they made an inspection
of the Baltimore and Ohio's terminals
there, and IL is said they determined that
every effort should be put forward 10 give
to Philadelphia the advantage Of a much
improved freight service. Just what the
plans in contemplation are has not been
divulged.
The improvements that are now being
made along the line of the Baltimore and
Ohio between Philadelphia and the Ohio
river are, ii is stated on high authority,
but a forerunner of what is to come. With
anything like a prosperous year the work
that will be done, both on the tracks and
i'm the motive department, will overshadow
all that has previously been done. 1t is
expected that it will take fully two years
to put the line in the condition that the
receivers desire IL to be.
Preparations are being made to extend
the compressed air plant at the Mount
Clare shops, Baltimore. A new locomo-
tive shop is being built, and compressed air
will be very extensively used. Two fifty
ton cranes for the shops have been pur-
chased, and the power will be electricity,
furnished by the power station that also
furnishes the electricity for the motors and
for lighting the tunnel under Baltimore
city.

lie tells 1t on himself-so perhaps there's
no harm If others tell it, too.
Zen years ago bright young southerner
got good office In Washington, something
he had no great difficulty in doing, mas
much as his father was a member of the
cabinet and such things came his way.
The young man had an attractive wife
hose beauty and wit became well known
while her aptitude in drawing and painting
drew many compliments. In time she be
came more and more enamored of her art
work, ana the fond young husband s,Ig-
eested a winter of study in Paris. The
pretty wife was overjoyed at the idea Of
H. and the plan was carried out. One
winter and another with the summer that
interviewed were spent in the capital of
art, and with the flight of weeks there
came new thoughts, new habits 10 both
She was welded TO art; he began to like
ms enforced bachelorhood. She came
nome and there were intervals of comes
uclty, but she always returned to he,
art and ne somewhat gladly 10 his bachel-
ors comforts.
There were several soiourns an par,c
and finally she came home an artist She
had won honors. She could not win her
way to fortune. 1t was her wish TO re-
turn south and teach painting, at the same
tline herself producing compositions as time
and opportunity permitted. - He assented
and fiickering correspondence was all
that held them together.
Three or four months ago she wrote that
she believed she would get a divorce while
she was in a state-Texas-that afforded
such luXuries She. said, it, jestingly-at
least it seemed so in the letter The hus-
band replied In kind: -"Go ahead. / have
always heard you could get anything YOU
want in Texas" Silence fell upon This
answer until yesterday.
Yesterday the young man received per-
| fumed packet containing neatly engraved
wedding cards announcing the wedding of
| the lady he still supposed was his wife to a
man presumably her choice, but Of whose
existence he had been hitherto wholly ig-
| norant.
He tells the story with a smile. II is a
joke on him.

The interstate commerce commission ha g
filed q bill in the United States court at

Pennsylvania, Cumberland Valley and Nor
folk and Western Railroad Companies to
obey its order of June last, commanding
those defendants to cease hauling freights
from New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia
and Chattanooga to Admission. Ala, cheap
er than to Piedmont, Ala, which is eleven
miles north of Admission.
The merchants of Piedmont made the
complaint in March, 1896. and the commits

elimination to cease The commission al
leges its orders have not been obeyed, and
Trays for an injunction to restrain the
roads from further disobedience under a
penalty Of fine of $500 for each day they
neglect to comply, after the issuance Of the
injunction. 1t is considered that the out
come of the suit will be an important pre-

No "Weight' mt the Earth's Center.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Replying to the article in The Star of the
18th instant under the above caption, for
which you credit the st. Louis Republic, 1
beg to differ from the deduction of the
writer. There is one very important factor
in solving the problem proposed, which the
Republic has ignored entirely, namely: the
inertia of the 10O-pound ball when started
on its S,OoO-mile journey through the i'm
agined hole through the center of the earth.
That the 1O0-pound ball would have no
weight at the earths center, If IT could be
placed there absolutely at rest, is correct,
but If dropped at the surface into this
imagined S,U00-mile hole, IL would not stop
when ii arrived at the earth's center of
gravity, but would be flying at its very
highest velocity, from which point its speed
would be constantly diminishing until Ii
arrived at the other end of its 5000 mile
journey through the eartfs center. when IL
would come to a stop at the surface Of the
earth, and at the same instant of time re-
verse its motion, and its fall would be
constantly accelerated in its flight to the
center of the earth, and from that point
diminishing in velocity until it arrived at
the surface again Gts original starting
point when 1t would stop. and at the same
instant commence its long journey over
again, and repeat, and thus continue TO Vi
brate dixie a pendulum) forever or until
some external force should interfere with
its movement. 5. S. k
