students. Mr.. Lamont was born nearly s.
years ago in Greenock, where his father
was bank manager. AS an artist he de-
voted himself especially to water color.
Commodore Dewey, when he was a
school boy, was such a fighter that tho
pupils and school teachers in the old dis
trict school at Montpelier, VT, were afraid
of him, and his mild old father, preacher,
was constantly in hot water, for COM
plants were filed with him daily about the
son, who was continually in trouble. FL
nally the father, old John Dewey, became
impatient with the boy, and he called him
into his study one day and said to him: III
you must fight, I'll fix it so that you will
hereafter make fighting a business" .Ac-
cordingly. the boy was secured an appoints
ment as cadet at Annapolis.

GOOD SKIN ToN1cs

Greasincss of the skin generally arises
from lack of cleanliness or debility of the
skin. Only an astringent has any effect
upon It, and a very simple and entirely
harmless ore may be made from one pint
Of rosewater, half pint of white wine
vinegar and a few drops of the essence
of rose. This lotion should be applied with
a soft linen rag or a fine sponge, Black
heads are difficult to. get rid of once they
appear They are caused by the clogging
of the pores of the skin by dust or foreign
matter. Alcohol 30 per cent, applied by
means of a piece of cnamois skin will give
tone to the skin and remove unsupported
dust and dirt, at the same time stimulating
the small glands and removing, by con-

The Women Cannot Wear Jewelry

The autocrat Menelik has just made a
decree that no woman in his dominions
shall wear necklaces, bracelets, rings or
any other kind of jewelry. 1t seems that
it is his wife, Taitou, who has prompted
him to make this sumptuary law. This
Abyssinian queen is evidently above the
weaknesses of her sex and must be of Ro-
man simplicity, since she has revived the
tradition of Cornelia, the mother of the
Gracchi. Menelik himself sets the exam
pie of simplicity by wearing fur crown
instead of one of precious metal.-London

WHY the Diamond Cleans

The diamond is full of phosphorus. This
quality has been known for centuries, and
still there are many who do not know 1t.
That is the reason often that CLEANS of
light are seen issuing from the stone in the
dark. To this quality alone attaches Il
great deal of value. The most phosphor-
escent stone is the one that is the best cut
If there is phosphorus in the stone, it is
greatly enhanced by proper cutting, SO that
its scintillating faculties are increased.

The War as an Educator

War is rapidly making the United States
cosmopolitan nation. War is always a
quick educator. Whatever else it does, it
sharpens the wits and broadens the minds
of nations. The present war is yet very
young, but it has already made the United
States a nation of students of history,
geography and international relations. The
nation has learned more of the world in
the last few months than years of peace
would have taught it.--Kansas City Times.

GLOOMY VIEW Of MANILA
SOLDIER OF 90 YEARS SERVICE
WRITES.
Does Not Get Hysterical but Speaks
Composedly, in Almost Fatalistic
Strain About the Conditions.

The following letter received by
Sergeant Bernut of the National
Guard of Hawaii, is from a regular
soldier of % years service, now with
the Fourteenth infantry in Manila.
There is nothing hysterical in it, not
withstanding the dolorous picture it
gives of the situation. 1t is rather the
composed, fatalistic view that would
be expected from a man who has been
i'm the army as long as the writer. Yet
it is gloomy enough.
AT the present, dearest friend, I am
in fairly good health, for how long
though | don't know, as | had my
share of sickness already and it don't
take fellow very long neither to
contract lot more. This place is well
blessed with a goodly number of dis
eases. and among others the troops
are suffering from smallpox, measles,
typhoid fever, malarial fevers and
some others and graver ones. To sum
it all up. Friend Berndt. | am more
than glad that you didn't come along
with us, or we would have one more
Disguised man among us. The duty
is easy enough, as we have only one
and one-half hours drill day, but
it is this God forsaken climate we
don't like; it takes the energy out OF
a man and one feels constantly tired.
and you can't even take a hearty drink
of water without endangering your
| self. There are only few that look
and feel well, and very few that re-
enlist here again. My time is out in u
month and "A few days, and if | don't
exactly feel well at that time, | will
leave this place, too, although l would
| be out of a good deal in the bargain
| all around, as | expect to see the 25
year retirement bill pass pretty soon,

"The only timeg.we can take COM
| Portable walk here is after the sun is
| down, then everything seems to take
new life the Spaniards and their fam
| lilies come out of their houses for a
drive or walk or an airing; the stores
seem to do most of their business and
everybody seems to be feeling all
right. Even the animals seem to
share the same feeling. Then you can
see lizards come out of their hiding
| place and it don't seem to matter
much (when you see them in a light
ed room) if they run up and down
| a smooth wall or along a ceiling: it is
about all the same to them. In the
day time everybody keeps indoors if
possible, except the natives or China
men.
THE mortality among the troops is
great, as they bury several soldiers ev-
cry day, the hospitals are full. and
every transport going back to the
states takes along scores of sick sol
diers. So you can see yourself what

Some Pretty Buggies

The Star man saw two as pref
ty buggies at j. L. Smoak's wag-
on and carriage factory yester-
day as he has ever seen in the
city. The painting and stripping
was from the brush of an artist
in his profession and the wood
work and all details of construc-
ton are a credit to this excellent
local factory. One of the bug
gies is for Ed Carmichael, our
gallant and popular young fire
chief, and everyone knows that
Ed will only have the best, and
the other is for Mr.. Smoak's pri-
vate use. So handsome were the
vehicles that among the first to
see them Mr.. Smoak received two
orders for similar ones, one from
County Treasurer A. r. Griffin
and the other from a gentleman
from Mr.. Griffin's neighborhood.

Lettuce, 5; Irish potatoes, 60; cab

At present he is busy shipping
lettuce, which is selling readily at

money on his lettuce crop. Cab

bushels at SO cents a bushel, be-
sides fattening 5000 pounds of

cost him over 20 cents a bushel.
