of phosphate rock, sprung leak off Cape
Lookout light. She was making 5000
strokes an hour, when the pump broke
down. She is now in the harbor, but will
have to be towed to her destination.
Captain Stevenson reports that on the 18th
he sighted yawl boat with seven men on
it The sea was high and fierce gale was
blowing. The boat, in attempting to get
alongside the vessel, was capsized and two
men were drowned. The remaining five
were rescued in an exhausted condition.
having been in the yawl boat twenty hours.
The men were the crew of the brig Stacey
Clarke, of Boston, bound from Newport

velvet gathered in double frills fully
az inches wide. These stand up like

WOMAN'S BEAUTY.
How Long 1t Should Last Under Favorable
Circumstances.

HOW Long 1t should Last Under FAVORABLE
Circumstances.
The physical beauty of women should
last, growing more and more mellow,
until the end. That the beauty of wom
en-, like that of men, should be deter
mined from the standpoint OF advanc-
ing maturity cannot be disputed. 1t is
absurd to claim that the ripe, rich
beauty of 40 is less attractive than the
budding maturity of sweet 16. When
women live in harmony with natures
laws, each stage of life has its own
charm The fullness of beauty does not
reach its zenith under the age of 30 or
40.
Helen of Troy came upon the stage at
the age of 49. Aspasia was SO when
married to Pericles, and she was bril-
liant figure 80 years thereafter. Cleo
patra was past 80 when she met An
tony Diane de Poitiers was Sc when
she won the heart of Henry H. The
king was half her age, but his devo-
ton never changed. Anne of Austria
was SO when described as the most
beautiful woman in Europe. Mime. de
Maintenon was 43 when united to Louis,
and Catherine of Russia was 80 when
she seized the throne she occupied for
30 years. Mile. Mar was most beautiful
at 45 and Nine Recamier between the
ages of 35 and %
The most lasting and intense passion
is not inspired by two decade beauties.
The old saw about sweet 16 is exploded
by the truer knowledge that the highest
| beauty does not mean immat1rity, fol
| beauty does not mean acme the fashion
of form and cOlOrinQ as found in the
waxen doll The dew of youth and 6
complexion of roses are admirable fol-
| that period, but a woman's best apC
| richest years are from 36 to 40. 1t is ar
arrant error for any woman to regard
| herself as passe at any age if she grows
| old gracefully.

Finger marks can be removed from

the soap with the flannel rinsed out
