FOR BEAUTY'S SAKE.
The Secret of a Clear, Attractive Com
plexiOn Usually Is a Per-
feet Digestion.

Remember that no woman can be
lovely with poor complexion, nor Will
cosmetics, however fine and expensive,
delude the observer in the searching
light of day, cautions the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat. The secret of a
clear, beautiful complexion is perfect
digestion, and in summer, especially,
q light diet is sufficient for the indolent
lives led by most of us during the heat
ed term. Fruit, fresh and ripe, boiled
milk, clear soup, whole wheat and rye
bread are the best friends for ruddy
cheeks and bright eyes. Loose cloth
ing comes next. Tight corset. shoes,
belts and bands produce coarse, red
skin and give harsh, strained look to
plunges and rigorous massage, laugh
ter and exhilarating sport make the
blood bound freely, round the muscles
and reduce loose, fabby flesh to nor
NAL proportions. Do not eat if you gre
very tired and warm. Take time to
battle the face and neck freely, loosen
your clothes and rest half an hour
after a shopping tour or vigorous ex-
ercise, and you will feel like spending
the evening sociably. Ifyour skin feels
parched and dusty on coming in bathe
the face gently in tepid water, then ap-
ply asoothing lotion, which any drug
gist will prepare for you, Of glyccrin,
benzoin, alcohol. and rose water, and
let it dry in the skin without wiping
with a towel. 'l s''" H. =, 't p H.t -. -

A HANDY BUILDING.
Upper Story In q WOrkshOD and Tool
House, the Basement a Comfort
able Winter Shelter.

One of the great drawbacks with
some farmers is that their outbuild-
ings are not arranged conveniently or
with any thought OF economy. This is
something during these days of rapid
progress and desperate competition
that will not do. Saving in little things
may often seem too trivial, we admit,
but if not carried to the point of
penny wise and pound foolish" it is
what helps to plant the most gigantic
stones in the pyramid of any industry.
How many farmers have sunk for
tunes in machinery of every descrip-
ton simply for the want of properly
housing and taking care of it! Then,
numerous are the dollars paid out
yearly for small repairs, which, if the
farmer only had a few tools and suit
able place in which to work, could
often be saved. Indeed, workshop on
the farm is necessity-an essential
part of the farm machinery-and in
case convenient spot is at hand the
general farmer can do nothing better
than erect building similar to the
one shown in the accompanying illus
tration.
AS can be seen, it is located against
q bank. This affords basement which
for housing poultry and swine in win
ter is not easily, as far as warmth goes,
to be surpassed. The second floor is
for storing various agricultural tools
and implements, from the hand to the
wheel rake, and from the ordinary
sickle to the moving machine and
reaper, while one corner-preferably
on the sunny side-is partitioned off
into workshop. Being equipped with
work bench and heating apparatus,
the farmer herein can pass many a
stormy day, no matter what the sea-
son of the year is, constructing berry
and vegetable crates, mending harness
or doing whatever tinkering work is
required on the farm or in the house.
An extensive set of tools is not re-
quired. Simply few of the most prac-
ticable ones VIII suffice, such as vari-

THE CAPTAINS SPEECH.
1t Was 1nterestingly Brief and Ne.
cidedly to the Point, But Unsat.
1sfactOry to the Orator.

One of the volunteer companies recently
at Camp ;Alger possesses a beautiful new
nag which was made and presented bv a
number OF patriotic women in the Pennsvl-
yan1a town from which the company comes.
1t was presented just before the COMPANY
marched away-or steamed away, to be ac-
curate-and the presentation was the occa-
son OF much ceremony. The company was
qrawn up in long line-"company front"
l beileye, is the military term for it-and a
very charming young lady read a very
charming and somewhat lengthy address.
Which contained great deal Of fowery Ian,
guage., The captain was 'tit" then, and had
TO reply, He is not an eloquent man at any
time, and he is extremely shy; but he had
written out graceful speech of accept
ance, and he stepped forward confidently
and received the banner.
LADIES', he began, in Fourth of July
voice, Ladies, we will accept this flag. La.
dies, We've will accept this flag" Here
MS color forsook him. He had forgotten the
cest OF his speech. One trembling hand
sought the pocket of his blouse. The manu-.
script was. gone.
Ladies'" he began again, desperately.
with gul ping kind of gasp, Ladies', we
vii! accept this flag, and, and, and thanks
awtully for it, don't you know"
And after all, I dare say the impromptu
was quite as effective as the address he
nag prepared, but the captain doesn't like
to talk about it.-Washington Post.

MEAT PRESERVATION.
cred and Successfully Intro
, u: duced In Denmark.

Oliver K. Hughes, consul at Some
berg, Germany, tells of a new method
of preserving meat. His report is as
follows:
"A new method of preserving freshly
killed meats has been discovered by the
Danish zoologist, August Fjelstrup, al
ready we'll known through his method
of condensing milk without the use Of
sugar. The system (according to the
printed reports) has stood a remark
ably hard three months test at the
Odense (Danish) company's slaughter
houses in a very satisfactory manner.
The method in itself is extremely
simple and might be of great service
for the troops in the tropics (the writ
er having had considerable experience
in trying to keep fresh meat in Cuba).
The animal to be used is first shot or
stunned by shot from revolver,
loaded with small slugs, in the fore
head, in such manner as not to injure
the brain. AS the animal drops sense
less an assistant cuts down over the
heart, opens a ventricle and allows all
the blood to flow out. The theory of
this being that the decomposition of
the blood is almost entirely responsible
for the quick putrefaction of fresh
meats. Immediately thereafter a
briny solution made of carr or fine salt,
more or less strong, according to
length of time meat is to be kept, is in
jected by means of powerful syringe
through the other ventricle into the
veins of the body. The whole process
takes only few minutes and the beef
is ready for use and can be cut up at
once. This method has been examined
and very favorably reported on by the
general consul at Odense and Aarhaus,
and also by many experts"

"A young girl should be taught to

S. T. Rorer on ''The Best Diet for
Blood]ess Girls" in the Ladies' Home
Journal. '"Ehis is of the utmost impor-
tance to keep the organs in good posi-
ton. The clothing should be loose, light,
warm and suspended from the shoul-
ders. Skirts should be made of light
material either, wool or silk. The
stockings fastened to the waist by
means of supporters; the one skirt worn
buttoned to the bottom of the waist,
with an outside dress supported from
the shoulders, should form the neces-
sary clothing. The shoes should be
made to fit the feet, with broad soles
and low, broad heels. Gloves should be

The monday meal should consist of

lettuce salad with olive oil dressing,
and some simple dessert, such as
whipped or Bavarian cream. After
dinner, rest should be taken in the
open air, either in the hammock or

beef or mutton broiled, and good whole

feed goes further with the lambs. than

MAKE YOUR OWN FILTER.
\ There In No Excuse for Drinking
Water Which Is Full of Germs
and Impurities.

Everybody knows, or ought to know,
that at this time of the year it is the
height of folly to drink water that has
not been previously purified in some
way, either by boiling or by filtration.
Boiling is an effective way of freeing
the water from impurities, and should
certainly be done where no better
method exists, but useful filter can
be made so easily at home, at an al
most nominal cost, that there is scarce
ly any excuse for household not pos
sessing one.
The homemade filter consists sim
ply of an ordinary decanter, a lamp
glass, such as can be purchased any
where for few cents, by way of fun
mel, and piece of sponge or cotton
wool. Some people prefer cotton wool
because it can be thrown away after
q time and renewed at nominal cost.
If sponge is chosen it ought to be
taken out often, cleaned in hot salt
water and afterward rinsed in cold.
The sponge or cotton wool is placed
for the distance of an inch in the lamp
shade. This is then covered by layer
of fine white sand, which has been
washed very clean, and placed in fine
lawn bag. This must be packed
through the top of the glass, and
spread out to fit across by the aid of
a long pencil or skewer.
On top of the sand must be placed
layer of animal charcoal which has
been previously thoroughly washed by
putting it in an earthen vessel and
pouring boiling water upon it. This

The virile nations of the earth are five,
the grown, strong nations, the nations
that are trying to develop civilization.
They are the United States, Great Britain,
Germany, Russia and France. The devel-
opment of the world is in their hands
and the best of them, the two that have
the highest ethical ideas with their civilza-
ton, that can do most and best for the
world, are Great Britain and the United
States. These two nations, if they will
only work together, can put their veto on
the rest of the world. They are the best
of friends, they make no entangling al
liances and do not need to; but if they can
only understand each other they can con-
troll the worlds history. They ought to
do it.
Our nation is now to be a world power.
We are to be felt, and we will be felt only
for good, in the worlds politics. We can
not escape our destiny, and we do not
want to. We have mission, and must
accomplish it for liberty and humanity.
Our institutions, our freedom Lave been
a lesson to the world, and such liberty is
the worlds only hope. 1t is our duty to
help the world to such liberty, not to
stand behind safe rampant and give
them our worthless moral sympathy, but
to take part in bestowing human rights on
human beings. This we are doing for

ANGlO-SAxON ALLIANCE.

1t is very evident that our English broth
ers are now not only willing but anxious to
form an alliance with the United States.
On the evening of the 18th inst, in a
speech at Birmingham, England, the Right
Honorable Joseph Chamberlain, secretary
of State of the Colonies, said:
1.-The time has arrived when Great Brit
ain may be confronted by combination OF
powers and our first duty, therefore, is to
draw all parts of the empire into close
unity, and our next to maintain the bonds
of perpetual unity with our kinsmen across
the Atlantic" Loud cheers.)
"There is powerful and generous ma
ton" said Mr.. Chamberlain, speaking
our language, bred of our race, and having
interests identical with ours. l would GO
so far as to say that, terrible as war may be
even war itself would be cheaply purchased
if in the noble cause the Stars and Stripes
and the Union Jack should wave together
over an Anglo-Saxon alliance" pro
longed cheers.)
1t was one of the most satisfactory re-
suits of Lord Salisbury's policy that at the
present time these two great nations un'
derstood each other better than they ever
had done, since, over century ago, they
were separated by the blunder of the Brit
ish government"

DEWEY AND BAILEY.
By His Treatment of the Admiral the
Congressman Gives Measure
of His Craftsmanship.

New York Times Qnd Dem.)
Like most men with fixed ideas, Mr..
Bailey, of Texas, neither knows nor cares
what impression his performances make
upon the impartial observer. But one
would suppose that his Democratic collea-
CUES might consent to take enough cognl-
zance of public opinion to consider the
effect upon 1t of Mr.. Bailey's pertolm
ances and not to allow Mr.. Bailey to
figure'as the Democratic leader Of the
House. As sporadic individual and IT.
responsible freak Mr.. Bailey might be
only amusing. As "leader" he is sad
dening not only all rational Democrats,
but all persons who desire that there
should be an opposition formidable enough
to make the Republican majority show
some circumspection.
For the past few weeks Mr.. Bailey's
mind has been much t'oubled about "pre-
cedents." Lest dangerous precedents
should be set of which posterity might
take advantage, he has found it his duty
to cripple the Government in every fnan-
cial or military measure calculated to pro-
mote the efficient prosecution of the war.
With singular taste and tact he made the
bill allowing TIE President to promote
Commodore Dewey to be rear-admlra
the occasion of some talk about prece
dents. He did not actually oppose the
bill, but said, solemnly, that 1t was not to
be construed as precedent
All Americans except Mr.. Bailey, of
Texas, think that when naval officer
does for the country what Commodore
Dewey did there need be no trouble about
the precedent" If Commodore Dewey
we're an EngIlshman he would now be IN
possession Of a peerage and an estate.
One grade of advance in his profession is
all that his grateful country offers him.
But that will make him, when he is at sea,
entitled to one $1,000 a year more than
Mr.. Bailey receives for public services SO
immeasurably more important than clear
ing the Pacific Ocean Of Spanish mcn-of-
war and opening 1t throughout to Ameri-
can merchantmen. But that is not the
worst of 1t. By destroying the Spanish
fleet Commodore Dewey becomes entitled
to $4,000 in prize money, which in Gaines
vile, Texas, may he considered a large
sum. The Spartan Bailey is revolted by
such pro1giality.
On calm consideration of the recent
performances of Mr.. Bailey the Demo
Gratis in Congress owe it to themselves to
decide whether they will continue to fol-
low Mr.. Bailey or whether they will Gun
