that the members of the family felt their
hopes revive. The doctors seem to have
bocn rather skeptical, but Nine. Dumas
and the daughters of the celebrated writer
were overjoyed.
The patient was cheerful and smiling.
He even joked, and had, in the morning,
turned everybody out Of the room by an
affcctionate rebuke. He said: This is
really too much. What are you all doing,
sitting about in my room? 1t is really ex-
traordinary. Cannot I be left alono in my
own apartment? My children, you really
take advantage of my good nature"
They were all going out, but he called
them back again, smiling and everybody
laughed with him. At noon, however, he
sent them to the dining room for break

he took the cup in both hands and drank
the tea without any difficulty. Mime. Du.

change occurred; the patient suddenly ex-

Ihc MISSING KEY,

What Else Could BE Expected on Her
Wedding Day?
It's beneath woman's dignity to Keep
track of keys.
A girl who has been bridesmaid four
times, and thereby cut herself off from all
prospects of matrimony says, this is what
happens at every wedding: The bride
gives minute and particular directions
about the packing of her trunk. She knows
to within tho one hundredth of an inch
the exact location Of every frill and furbe-
low and looks on while various members
Of the family assist in examining tho trays
in and forcing the lid down. Methods OF
accomplishing this differ-somctimcs it

strap around it, but one person leaves 1t
to another until the moment for departure
arrives At this juncture the discovery is
made that the trunk is not locked, the
keys are missing and everybody wonders
where the strap can be.

asked tho groom. "My dear, they are ask

it?"

why, on my key ring, of course; tho lit

you remember, doar?"
"Certainly-on tho key ring" To the
anxious searchers, you'll find the trunk

wife says replies the happy young man.
"But where is that?" comes in chorus.
"I'm sure 1 don't know" falters the
bride almost in tears. ''Oh, never mind.
There, there; bother the trunk. What dc
wo care?" says the groom.
Tho bride has happy thought. George,
I have two keys to that trunk"
"Well, you're wise little woman" in
tones of pride from the young husband,
while the aunts and cousins say, "She has
another key"
"But they were both on tho same key
ring" continues the bride, and the gener-
al anxiety is redoubled.
The girl who has been q bridesmaid four

key turned up at the last minute inside of
the trunk, and after that she has always
looked there the first thing and has never

1t Docs Make n Difference,

In Munster recently man received
three years penal servitude for attempting
to poison his wife by administering to her
sulphato of zinc in whisky. At Leeds u
woman was condemned to 20 years penal
servitude for attempting to murder hcr hus-
band by administering poison in his food.
1t is certainly difficult to account for this
vast difference in the punishment in two
such similar cases, and lady correspond
ent insinuates that to the woman were
given 20 years because the judges, being
men, naturally regard the crime rs more
heinous in wife than in husband. My
own opinion, after reading the reports, is
that the woman got no more than she de-
served, but the man q good deal less.-

TOILET SUGGESTIONS.
Hints From a Beauty Doctor That Will
Improve Poor Complexions.


Freckles are due to an excess of coloring
matter deposited in the second layer Of the
skin underneath the cuticle. They arc
caused by an excess of iron in the blood.
If they are not of very dark color, they
can be bleached out, but if they are of the
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 re.
moving freckles.
As a general thing the blood is not re-
sponsiblc for the different blemishcs which
appear on the face Dirt gets into the
pores of the skin, and the result is an erup-
tion Of some sort.
Pimples should be opened with q needle
or sharp knife, the secretion squeezed out
and lotion of q wineglass of strong vine
gar, two ounces of glycerin and half a
pint Of distilled water applied.
For people troubled with moist or oily
skin, hot soapsuds bath once week Is
recommended, using CASTLE soap, as it is
of a drying nature. Bay rum and camphor
may be used by such persons, as thoy dry
the oil somewhat, when the camphor
would parch other compilations. The OPT
um found in the stems Of Towering lettuce
refines the skin and absorbs the oil. Rub
tho 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 the body.
They are not disease, but are the results
of worry, grimaces, poor health, etc.
Wrinkles ought not to appear before the
fiftieth year, but how often we SEQ them
at 25. Tho more delicate the skin the more
subject it is to these disfguremcnts.-
