Sure Cure for wrinkles.

When the skin is inclined to show
wrinkles lanoline is considered one Of
the best possible treatments for dispell-
ing these evidences of the passage OF
time. 1t closely resembles the natural
fat in which the wrinkled skin is de-
ficient, and it is more readily absorbed
by the drying pores than other greasy
separations. Rub in carefully, gently
and slowly, first bathing the face
thoroughly in hot water and cocoanut
oil soap. Dry by pressing soft old
damask towels to the skin, not rubbing
it in with the fingers. Let it stay until
morning, then wash the face in warm
water, using little cocoanut oil soap
to remove the greasy feeling. Then
squeeze half lemon in a large bowlful
of tepid water and rinse off the face
drying with soft damask towel.

tings of the bathroom. Scales have long
been in use in Turkish bath establish
ments, and are considered almost as
important as the dry room itself. A
man loses from one to four pounds
weight whenever he takes Turkish
bath, but it is a fact that he seldom
loses any weight at all in. taking an
ordinary tub bath. From this it may
be thought by the ordinary man that
there is no demand for the bathroom
scale, but the ordinary man doesn't
know it all. He completely forgets the
fat lady who lives next door and the
bulky gentleman that always makes
such fuss whenever he climbs on
board the cable car. He also forgets
the dyspeptic gentleman and the thin
lady with the sour face.
But aside from these he does not seem
to realize the enormous business which
the massage operators have built up
within the past few years. 1t is quite the
proper thing to have your masseur visit
you at your home at least once week
He gives you your bath, and then de-
votes his attention to your cuticle. He
kneads you where you need kneading,
and manipulates your muscles, which
have probably grown flabby with lack
of proper exercise.
All of this has an effect upon the
weight which your ordinary plunge or
shower bath would not have. You
weigh yourself before you begin, and
you weigh yourself after the mas
seur is through with you. You will
find the bathroom scale handy thing
to have around.
Previous to the advent of this inno-
vation the ordinary man has not both
cred his head very much about his
weight. Occasionally, while waiting
for boat or train, he would attempt
10 drive away dull care by dropping a
nickel in the slot listening to the

An Incident Of Louis Philippe's
Voyage to America.

In an interesting article in the
Ladies Home Journal William Per
rane describes the suspicion that in
creased IN the mind of the Captain -
the vessel which was bringing to Amer
lea, In the fall of 1856, "a mysterious
passenger who had come aboard at

OF DISARMAMENT.

The proposal of the Czar TO have Eu-
rope disarm is not novel, though bold
and startling. In 1864 Napoleon III. la
bored in the same direction. He then
said that his effort should be to bring
about such conditions that supreme ar
bitration would supplant self-interest.
He declared that Europe was then in
a. condition which was neither peace
with it's security nor war with its hap
py chance
At that ime all the Powers responded
favorably to Napoleon's proposition
with the single exception Of England.
Lord Russell distrusted Napoleon and
feared that he was insincere. Five
years after that England, alarmed at
the enormous armament of other
States, herself proposed a great reduc-
ton Of armed forces. But the States
could not agree as to the due proper
ton of armed men each ought to keep
UP, according to population and STRAIT
egic position, and so the whole scheme
fell through 1t was concerning this
disarmament plan of which Gladstone
at a later day spoke in the House of
Commons. He said-and his words are
pertinent now:
Lord Clarendon believed-and
shared his belief then, as 1 still share
it-that if you could gather the plenipo-
tentiaries of Europe round a table to
hear discussion on disarmament, their
meetings would end in no substantial
result, and that the only way in which
a measure Of disarmament can be ini-
tiated is In detail. 1t is to take advan-
tage of some occasion when particular
countries are In face Of each other bur-
dening their own people, exhausting
their own resources, and endangering
peace, to endeavor to prevail on them,
relatively to these particular circum-
stances, to pursue a more rational
course. - To address other Pow
ers on this subject is q. very serious
step. 1t was necessary that we should
stand recti in curia, and that we should
not be met with the remark, What are
you doing yourselves? You preach the
gospel of peace, but are your hands
free from the stain of blood?"

He Was Astonished.

The most surprised man in Ponce af-
ter the surrender was the publisher of
the daily papre, who was told by Gen.
eral Wilson that his presses and other
property would not be confscated.
Out Of pure gratitude he told the
Americans that he would confine his
news Of the day to runaways, society
and Police Court items, and wouldn t
say word about the capture of the
city. When told that he could hustle
out his reporters and write up a story
Of the surrender if he felt so disposed,
he almost dropped over in his parox-
ysm of joy, and offered to send Gen
eral Wilson the proofs of the first edi-
tion. Damn it, man." General Will
son said, Il don't want to see your
proofs. Go ahead and tell the story
just as it is. We don't censor our
newspapers, and we believe in free
press" This unheard-of liberality so
completely upset the editor that in the
first edition he abused the Spaniards
IN the purest Castlian, and expressed
his sympathy for the new cause

Finally our party triumphed, but,
alas, it has brought no relief to our
suffering people. The benefit of
that triumph has amounted to no
more that the distribution of a few
official prizes to the friends and
relatives of wealthy aristocrats and
to the henchmen of political
bosses. There are, of course, ex-
ceptions, but this has been the rule.
Wealth is still the standard of re-
spectability, just as 1t was under
Republican Administrations, and
the rights and wishes of the great
Democratic masses of the country
are just as completely ignored

WHAT CUBA WANTS.

A business correspondent writes the
following to the New York Evening
POST The writer is a Scotchman
without American bias; a steady, slow
thinking, but clear-seeing man. He
says:
Thank God the war is over, and IL we
have peace, with nothing to disturb the
harmony that may now ensue, there
will be a chance of making up for the
past which has been SO full of trouble.
Unfortunately there is no trustworthy
information as to the terms agreed
upon. All that is known is that where
as Porto Rico has been given over to
the United States, Cuba has not been
disposed of in the same way. Spain re-
nounces her rights of sovereignty over
the island, and from this it is inferred
that it is the intention on the part of
the United States to grant independ-
ence to Cuba under an American pro-
tectorate, leaving the collection of GUS
toms in the hands of the United States.
Without knowing positively what is TO
be done, / do not care to express an
opinion; 1 would, however, venture to
say that if the wishes of the people are
dIlllSAdllOH NOuiN
be more acceptable than independence.
By the people 1 mean resident Span
iards who represent about 80 per cent.
of the wealth of the island, all the for
eigners, and, might say a large, if
not the greater part of the Cubans, Ger
tainly Of all those possessed of any
property.
Unquestionably the greatest need of
Cuba is perfect assurance Of peace
Torn for twenty years by civil war,
crushed under hard monarchical sys-
tenn, oppressed by excessive taxation,
ravaged by soldier bands, crippled by
exactions on the part of the ruling
class which paralyze business activity,
the wonder is that Cuba has prospered
as much as it has in the last few years.
That the conservative spirits Of the
island should look to annexation of the
island to the United States as the only
genuine assurance of peace, justice and
release from the extortions and cruel
burdens Of the past is natural But
whether that would be wise policy on
the part of the United States is an
open question upon which there is hon
est separation Of opinions among Amer
leans.
So far as the Government itself is
concerned it has given emphatic ex-
pressed of non-intent and non-desire to
favor annexation. Nothing has been
made manifest of late to indicate any
change Of sentiment on that subject
on the part of the Administration, nor
on the part of national legislators AS
the country stands to-day, it is the
dominant thought that Cuba should try
the experiment Of self-government un-
der the shadow Of our protection and
countenance. If that fails then annex

cably.

BLIND TONI AS HE rs TO-DAY.
His Passion for Music Just as
Strong as it Ever Was.

"The name Thomas Virgins means
nothing to the majority Of readers, !"
writes John ], "a Beckett in the Ladies
Home Journal" But Thomas Virgins
is Blind Tom a name familiar to hum
dreds of thousands in this country and
abroad, who have heard the piano play
ed by this wonderful negro. The i'm
preston that he is dead is a pretty
general one. As matter of fact, Blind
Tom has never been i'll a day in his
life. On the banks Of the Shrewsbury
River, in a domain of over two hundred
acres of woodland, stands picturesque
two and a@half story wooden house
with a broad veranda. Here Blind Tom
is at home.
"His hands are not at all piano
hands, In place of the slender, long
fingered hands which one SO often sees
in great pianists, Toms hands are
small and plump, with the thumbs and
tapering fingers quite short.
1.-The strongest impression I bore
away was that Of the sweet, contented
life the poor, blind negro is leading.
There was pathos in it. I had eX-
pected to find a wonder at the piano,
and I did, for his untaught mastery of
the instrument is marvellous. From the
time when the Bethune family left the
dinner table to see who could be play
ing on the piano, and discovered the
sightless pickaninny Of four years
perched on the STOOL his little hands
plucking uncanny melody from the
keyboard-from that time until now
he has had. an unwavering devotion to
the instrument whose music is his life.
when Blind Tom talks to himself he
will repeat a word or phrase several
times. either to emphasize it or through
pleasure in the sound, or else because
he is filing in time until some other
idea shall come to his mind. For in
stance, he went on in this way for some
time as he strol1ed up and down with
his rolling gait on the veranda: 'Wag-
ner. Yes Wagner. Mr. Wagner.
Richard Wagner Wagner. Mr.. Wag-
ner is dead. Yes. He is dead. Dead.
His last opera. Yes His opera. His
last opera was "ParsifaL." "Parsifal" :"

and mouth, and a general heaviness
rather than weakness. His skin is not
perfectly black. In his appearance and
in his manner of speaking when ad-
dressed he shows intelligence and dig
nifty, with quite a pride of his own at
times. There Is a respectfulness in his
air and pose which recalls the fact
that he was a slave for nearly twenty
years.
tom is of a religious turn Of mind.
He will only play sacred music on Sun
day He says the Lords Prayer in his
room aloud, and is fond of reciting
passages from the Holy Scripture, be-
ing especially fond Of Saint Paul's
Epistles to the Corinthians.
He has made fortunes, first for
Colonel Bethune, who bought his
mother, Charity Virgins, when the
blind baby was thrown in; then for
John S. Bethune, and lastly for the
widow of John Bethune, who is now the
wife of the lawyer, Albert J. Lerche,
at whose residence he lives.'

To elect James G. Mcguire to the

distinct menace to large and developing
industry It would be equivalent to
saying to capital, which we need in
large amount to develop the resources
Of California, Keep out; you are not
wanted here" 1t would amount to
Kansasizing the State, for Mcguire rep
resents the isms and fads Of which
business and stable industry stand
clear. He is one of the order of radical
reformers who assail those who have,
and add not one whit to the capacity of
those who have not. His candidacy
proposes experiments in this State
which are impracticable, upsetting and
dangerous. His election would mean the
impoverishment of the State, since ii
would give it the same kind of a black
eye that the triumph of the Kearney

approved by them only when it comes

which accords with their views only,

in such attitudes the demagogue only.

Canine Chicken Thieves.

The cleverness of negro boys in At

dogs to steal chickens. When this ex-
PLANTATION of the disappearance of poul-
try was made by the losers, the police
were skeptical, but all doubts vanished
when on the arrest of four suspected
boys dog with chicken in his teeth
followed the patrol wagon to the police
station. The boys confessed and explain
ed their method of operation. They
would get chicken in the old way, by
theft from the roost, and then teach a
"likely" dog to catch and fetch it. Aft
er little practice of this kind the dog
would be taken through premises where
chickens were at large and would be in
cited to attack. Soon thereafter the dog
could be depended upon to do purveying
without assistance or suggestion. Two
of the trained dogs were captured by
the police and were condemned to death

munity. Atlanta Constitution.
