THE NoRTHERNER AS A LOVER.
A Southern Woman Comes tO His De-

A Southern Woman Comes to His De-
Tense Against False A~ccusers.
Under the title, "The Northerner as

Nobody denies the southern fascina-

%capability of the southern man for
making love- This last is vast, al
most limitless. Given moonlight, mu-

"The writer in question says that the
northern man makes love for the mere
pleasure of attaining. What does this
southern woman think of the husband
who, after years of marriage, will write
to his wife that she is the light Of his
eyes, the core of his heart, the angel
of his life?' Yet in a wide social eN~

The benevolent RockefelIer.

From the Kansas City Times.
John d. Rockefeller is what might
be safely called a rich man. 1t is only
a few weeks since he swallowed the
sugar trust just in time to make some
thing like S15, 000, 900 outrigh. by the
passage of the Dingley sugar schedule.
He already controlled the Standard
Oil monopoly and the iron ore trust
Now he proposes to absorb the lead,
leather. tobacco and whisky trusts.
This means, if Rockefeller chooses
to accomplish it, he will have scpreme
control of the richest lines of business
in America. That he win stop here is
not to be expected. The more Rookie
Teller gets the more he wants and the
better his chances of getting it.
The Cleveland plutocrat Is mo- con-
tent with monopolizing business. He
has reached out toward the pulpit and
school room. The former he is cap
turing with his gifts, his mock piety,
and touching tales of how, when a
struggling lad, working honestly for a
few dollars, instead of cutting Threats
for millions, lie used 10 give . cents for
foreign missions, 20 cents for home
charities, and IA cents 10 mis- dear
Sunday school. AS might be expected
no minister can be hard-hearted enough
10 denounce an INSCRIPTIONS mnlti-
millionaire after learning that he has
thus ssdivided his profits with the
Lord"
The colleges Rockefeller goes at
differently. 10 some he gives mil
lions and acquires the right to dictate
their policies, even to the employment
discharge of professors. To others,
like Brown, he ntimates his regret
that he cannot donate them large sums
because they have presidents or profess
sors whose views are distasteful TO
him. Judging by his past successes it
will o be long before Rockefeller
dominates education as absolutely as
he rules the principal commercial in
Where is he TO endP Will he be
With shutting the people out of
all profitable business, reducing all to
earners at starvation rates, and
moulding their children's minds so
they venerate him and his actsP
Can we hope that Rockefeller will rest
satisfied with monopolizing AmericaP
Or will he desist only when he is sole
owner and operator of the earth?
While waiting 10 see let us hope that
here will be no scarcity of hirelings to
that Rockefeller is the greatest
living benelactor of his human race.

THE SKIN AND DIGESTION.

Ailments Spring from thc
stomach.
Several skin diseases occur in connec-
ton with digestive disturbances, and,
In fact, appear to be largely caused by
them.
This is particularly true of acne, n
disease in which the sebaceous glands
of the skin are int1amed, and which is
characterized by the formation of pim-
pies, generally upon the face and Shout
ders. The disease occurs mostly in
young adults, and is always associated
with a disturbance of the digestive or
gans. Dyspepsia and constipation arc
invariably present, and SO long as they
continue the condition of the skin does
not improve.
The diseased condition of the skin
known as ''hives," or .nettle-rash," IS
also associated with disturbance in the
alimentary canal. By far the most
common cause of this affection is the
presence in the stomach or intestines
of some irritating article of food.
Indigestion not infrequently occurs
in connection with eczema, or ''salt
rheum." In infants, particularly, di-
gestive disturbances due to improper
feeding often leads to the development
of eczema.
A common form of this disease oc-
ours in infants who are well nourished
and unusually fat. and is character
lied by the appearance upon the skin of
red patches covered entirely or in part
with a yellowish crust. This affection
results from a lowered state of the vi
-tality of the skin, caused by an over
taxed digestion.
The eczema which occurs in adults,
though perhaps less often caused by
digestive disturbances, is certainly ag-
gravated by them, and for this yeason
persons who are subject to eczema are
advised to abstain from food hat is
stimulating and difficult to digest.
Indigestion and constipation are fire.
quently associated with an itching of
the skin of the entire body, an affec-
ton which sometimes attacks middle
aged persons.
The-treatment of all such skin dis
eases should include measures looking
to a healthy Digestion careful diet
and regularity in the action of the
bowels. These, with appropriate ex-
ternal treatment, will restore the skin
to II healthy condition.-Youth's Com :

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The original grandfather's clock was

it brought 81 1000 after lively bidding.
