Ouarreling over MacDonald's
Stock.

The stock of boots, shoes and clothing,
consigned to j. r. Macdonald, the alb
sconding merchant of HOOsick Falls, by
Boston firms, is still causing trouble,
and it is apparent will result in COM
plicated litigation in the courts. To rem
der the affairs still more complicated,
Lamkin & Foster wholesale boot and
shoe dealers of Boston, have sold the
entire stock of boots and shoes, valued
at $4,000, to James G. Byars S Son of
Hoosick Falls. This stock of boots and
shoes is also claimed by Harris ROsen-
thai of New York, who claims to have
purchased the entire stock, including
about 81, 700 worth of clothing, from
Macdonald for S2,30O the night of his
sudden departure to Canada. Cushman.
Olmstead d Snow, wholesale clOthiers of
Boston, claim the latter stock as con-
signed goods, and since the sale have
been holding the same on writ OF re-
plevin. Rosenthal of New York Monday
arrived in HOOsick Fails and rebOnded
the clothing in the sum of SO. 400, New
York parties becoming sureties, and re-
moved the clothing to New York. This
will result in legal conflict between
Rosenthal and the Boston clothing firm.
George h. Green. attorney for Lamkin
d Foster of Boston, has secured an order
from Judge Fursman for the New York
parties u show cause before Justice
Chester, JAN II, whv the action of Ros-
enthal against Lamkin q Foster to gain
possession of MacDonald's pOot and shoe
stock should not be discontinued in &C
cordance with an agreement made.

Her Diet.

Now ut Florida, Orange County, n.
". Sept. 26-A letter from twOn the
other day told of a clubman whose
first assertion Of martial rights was
to wash his wife's face. During his
courtshlp he had been continually an
moved by the amount Of powder and
rouge that the young lady favored, but
he forvave her The use of il, considered
her innocence, and always determined,
il she became his wife, to make her
understand the charm Of clean face.
Every now and then fashion writer's
come out and say that women in good
society do not use powder and rouge.
How is it then that fortunes are made
on these two undesirable articles, and
how is it that thousands upon thou
sands Of boxes of fine face powder are
manufactured every year? Certainly
it is not done that they may be thrown
into the river. / speak of powder and
rouge as Objectionable. They are in
a wav. but times come when greesy
looking face is improved by some fine
powder and a pale skin is made to
look healthy, for evening wear, by the
clever addition of a little rouge. But
both powder and rouge must, if ever,
be used artistically.
The question on the lips of the aver
age girl in the country as well as in
the city seems to be about her com
plexion, and a woman will make her
self look like the mischief, undergo
all sorts of torments for the sake OF
improving her skin.

WHAT TO EAT AND DRINK.

No woman who wants 10 be beauti-
full should get up early. She should
sleep, and sleep well. Not too much
on one side, for that will cause wrink-
les about the eyes and make one entire
side of the figure less round than the
other. In sleeping the mouth must be
closed, and no matter how soft the
cOver-Gd is, it must never be drawn
over the head. Most important of all
to the woman who wishes to become
beautiful is it to eat well. She must
not eat so much, but great deal of
discrimination must be used about her
food By the bye, / hate the word
food" it always sounds so gross. Game
of all kinds salads, fruits, outlets, roasts.
eggs, are all good for wOman's beauty
and,as it deserves, everything fried and
everything greasy must be treated
with disgust. Cocoa, chocolate and all
sweet wines are good for the beauty
seeker.
The Southern women attribute their
rather delicate beauty to their fondness
for chicken, and / am sure that there
is some truth in this.
The woman who is too stout must
give up all sweets, all starchy foods,
and she must refuse GRAVES as if they
were poison. A double chin can usual
ly be traced to gravy, while an often
sively large bust is due not only to

longs to give it to you. Once wo-
man grows stingy she loses friends anu
lovers. Often times in her greed for
wealth she does not care about this.
She is rapidly becoming less of a wo-
man and more of machine. In time
she becomes that most disgusting OF
all creatures, a woman of business.
That woman who measures the hours
of the day by their value, who counts
life as worth nothing since it is not
bought or sold-she is the trader, and
not the woman She may be desirable
back of the desk, but she is a monster
beside a sick bed or where death has
come. She will try to haggle with
death when he demands that she shall
follow him, and then, and then only,
will she find that gold is worth but

THE COMPLEXION MASK.

heard of bride who was sufficient
" self-possessed to say to the bride
groom of a few hours, ''Well, my dear
bow, my complexion, which looks so
nice. would be wretched if / did not
cover it every night with mixture
that has an egg beaten in it; over this,
to prevent soiling the pillow, and to
keep the air out, tie quilted mask,
with openings made for my eyes, nose
and mouth, and cannot think of stop
ping it now.
You would have to know it little
later on. and you might just as well
get used to it in the beginning" She
told me this herself, and added that
men were so very ridiculous, for this
bridegroom made a great row about
this complexion mask, and pre-
ferred to sleep on the lounge. Care
for the complexion is really becoming
a fad, to which the French slang sin
feet" is very apropos. Womanl1ind
walks, eats, bathes, perfumes, powders,
rouges, dresses all with thought of
some special style. This would be all
very well if women would keep quiet
about it, but get a lot of them to-
gether, and certain as fate they begin
to discuss and spread their knowledge.
Some woman will tell about some
thing that will brighten the eyes or
make them look Target; another will
give a recipe for making the flesh firm,
or announce a system by which it can
be increased or decreased. A professor,
a feminine one, of the art of rouging,
said that ''Dark-eyed women should
put a touch of rouge Immediately I'M
der the eyes; this will tend to make
them look larger, deepen their color
and cause them to flash. But a dash
of rouge does not mean all that is in
the box Instead, it means careful
shading, with bit of soft linen and
the following exactly the shape of the
eye and the cheek. Women talk about
rouging the ears-that is nonsense.
Whenever rouge is used the lobe of the
ear and the tip of the chin should be
touched with it because if you notice
YOU will see that when women flush
these parts grow a little rosy"
Continuing, this artist in makeup
announced that, for the eyebrows a
little tincture of cantharides rubbed
on once a week with the tip of the
finger, and then some vaseline applied
in the same way, would increase their
growth. She added that rubbing the
eyes tends to destroy their beauty.
Olive oil she counts as great assistant
in the art of becoming beautiful. A
little is to be rubbed on when the face
is rough. 1t is used in connection with
massage to increase the size of the
bust, and it is also chosen to make
the skin of the hands delicate and
white, but then it must be diluted with
rose water. For a fevered breath, a
few drops in a glass of water is used
as a gargle, while if this professor
discovers that her nose is gettinga lit
tie red, she traces it usually to deter
mination tomake her waist small, or to
wearing tight shoes Then she applies
camphor to it, loosens her stays and
finds the color reduced after a little

IS SILVER THE DEVILS MONEY?
Rev. Woolston Says he Must be Paid
Gold for the Lords Work.

y
Gold for the Lords Work
No doubt the Rev. c. III. Woolston, of
Philadelphia, is an earnest and devout
Christian; that he honestly believes
our country would be more prosper
Gus under the administration of Will
liam Mckinley than under the admin
istration of William Jennings Bryan;
that under gold standard and a pro-
| tective tariff the people would be more

free trade. But the ReY. g. n. Wool
ston should not allow his belief in
purely political matters to carry him
off his mental feet and defame the citi-
zens of this republic. While laying
PROSTATE on his metal back the Rev
c. HI. Woolston, of Philadelphia, cried
aloud thus:
SIN case William J. Bryan is elected
/ shall expect my salary to be paid
in gold. cannot receive the DEVILS
money for the Lords work"
AS to the character of the money the
Rev. C. III. Woolston expects to be paid
in at any time is matter for him
self and his church trustees to deter
mine; it is none of the public's bust
ness. But mis- last statement is of
vital concern to every American citi-
zen, and if the Rev G. I'll. Woolston will
regain his mental equipoise he will see
reasons why for.
Treasury statistics contain no refer
ence to DEVILS money, so it is safe to
assume that the minis have never coin
ed or the Treasury presses printed any.
Moreover, if a majority of the citi-
zens of this great and glorious country
vote to have silver coined into dollars
without restriction, silver cannott by
any possible contortion be the DEVILS
money The majority of Americans
are not followers of the devil, and the
Rev. G. H. Woolston knows it. He also
knows that If they should vote for the
monetization Of porous plasters it
would not follow that porous plasters
were the money of the devil
