A LECTURE on NEW ENGLAND
Its Climate Has InfIu enced the Cha T..
acter of the People.

The second of a series of afternoon
lectures, under the auspices of the Ma
tional Geographic Society, was deliv-
cred by Hon. Charles Ffnney Baxter,
ex- mayor of Portland, Me, at Columbia
Theater yesterday afternoon. His sub
ject was New England; Her Geogra-
ply, People and History"
Mr. Baxter said that the theme was
too broad TO treat satisfactorily in an
hour. He would attempt nothing fur
ther than some comprehensive remarks
on the three topics selected; trusting
that his auditors would study the sub
ject at length for themselves.
That the first settlers thought New
England an island was not strange
said the speaker. for the idea that the
two rivers, the st. Lawrence and the
Hudson, cut it off from the mainland
was not so far wrong after all. 1t is
virtually a peninsula.
The lecturer said the geographical
situation. combined with the physical
conformation, We're largely responsible
for the Importance of New England in
the commercial and manufacturing
world. The 700 miles of seaboard, the
numerous swift rivers, and the rolling
character of the country We're all in
favor of industrial enterprise. The
climate also exercised a powerful in
fiuence of the people. The sudden
fluctuations in temperature made a
hardy race. New England's sons and
daughters. declared Mr.. Baxter, have
won fame because of their steady and
consistent energy.

A FREE TRIAL. NO HIGH FEES.

Everybody has been reading of the

of Deafness in all its forms, the radi-
cal and permanent Mastery of, Ca
tarrh in all its stages, the speedy and

To all classes of sufferers.
Deaf people who are constantly
reading the story of lost hearing cam
not be free from curiosity as To the
nature of the new treatment by which
this splendid miracle of medicine is
now accomplished. Nor can the sick
who are constantly reading of the cure
of Catarrh, Asthma and Lung Diseas-

interest over the treatment that ac-
complishes these almost equally mar

THE CARE OF THE LIPS.
A Feminine Facial Specialist Pr,
breath7"
LAURA.


scrihes a Course of Treatment.
A feminine beauty doctor who
makes the molding and coloring of the
lips a speciality said, when asked to
talk of her methods, day or two ago:
THE first thing to be considered is
the rigidity or lazity in appearance
and action OF the lips. If they tend to
stiffness or sternness of expression one
should begin to make them supple by
gentle but constant massage treat
ment, supplemented by the cultivation
of an intelligent smile. Understand me,
i do not mean perpetual grin. for
that deepens the lines round the
mouth and gives the face haggard,
panied expression, anything but be-
coming. The smile to be cultivated is
more a frightening of the whole face,
with a sensitive parting and curving
of the lips. 1t is not necessary to
stretch them.
Then, instead of firmly closing the
lips, as so many women have habit
of doing. which gives heaviness to the
jaw and hardness to the mouth, they
should learn to bring the lips together
very lightly, allowing that always
agreeable dimpled effect in the cor
ners. 1t is that position which makes
the mouth Of a healthy child SO kissa-
BILE, and gives to him such AN eager,
interested expression.
But where the mouth is inclined to
stand open. with loose, underlined lines,
the vigor Of the massage should be re-
doubled, using the treatment as tom
&c to tone UP fiaccid nerves and mus
cles. With such a mouth the object
must be to learn to hold the lips with
firmness, tempered by grace, going
through the practice as facial gymnas-
tics for stated periods, and until the
training becomes a natural habit.
Closely compressed lips, think, are
most common among women, and, as
q rule. not overhealthy women. To me
this habit is Indicative of nervousness,
and j always supplement my treat
ment with a good nerve tonic. This
is especially necessary where the lips
are inclined to be pale and rigid.
Besides a thorough massage once a
day You should spend ten minutes,
morning and evening, standing before
the mirror, and with thumb and fore
finger pinch the curves of the mouth,
accentuating their delicacy and clear
