IN BEAUTY's QUEST.

A good recipe to insure bodily per-
lection has been given by a well-known
writer: Study Greek models for the
head, English for the complexion. Irish
for the hands, American for the finger
nails, Hindoostan for the feet and Span
ish for the gait"
What you eat, when you eat and how
much you eat plays an important part
in the matter of complexion. Fruits,
especially those that are tart, graham
bread. greens, broths and soups (not
greasy or highly seasoned), milk, acid
drinks and lean meats are recommend
ed as beneficial. T..
Different temperaments require diff
fcrent treatment. A slender, bilious
brunette, whose blood is thiI., may in
dulge in underdone beef, Crayics and
plenty of butter, while the blond, who
is inclined to scrofula and florid COM
pleXion, must restrict herself to eggs,
milk, bread, light broths and fruit
a southern woman who was beauty
III her youth and at the age OF 60 re-
tanned many of her charms, especially
her clear, fresh complexion, attributed
it partially to the fact that she ah-
stained from drinking tea and coffee,
drinking instead lemonade. acid G'i1l;s.
saline mineral waters and always c
glass OF clear water before breakfast,
and eating plenty of chopped lean meat
without potato.
Too much stress cannot be placed on
the use of fruits as an aid to digestion

Jim Warren and His Friends Had Pho.
nomenaI Luck
Among the early prospectors in Ida
no was Jim Warren, VINO in 1862 start
ed out from Florence on his own ac-
count. After two or three days he
camped on the stream now known as
Warren's creek and began pannihg out.
The result was encouraging, and when
the assay was announced sixteen men
went to investigate the new find. The
expedition fastened to Warren creek
and staked out the Warren meadows
for themselves and their friends. Eight
men We're sent back to Florence for
provisions, the rest remaining to work
the claims. While the eight men were
gone some of those who remained dis
covered better diggings at Summit
Flat, obtaining from so to 81 to the
pan. The claims at Warren meadows
we're abandoned and new claims staked
out on the new field. When the men
returned from Florence with the pro-
visions they were followed by about
600 miners who suspected that rich
dirt had been found and swarmed
along Warren creek and its tributaries
making rich finds everywhere. The
original locators were extremely for
tunate in the Summit Flat diggings.
Two men, named Besse and Osgood,
worked together and rocked out 100
ounces the first day and forty ounces
during the next forenoon. The assay
Office had just been established at
Boise, and these 140 ounces of dust
were the first receipts of the office.
The gold was found to be worth $14 an
ounce, the net returns of the two men
for a day and h7lf being $1,960. In
three weeks that party of sixteen men
had taken out from their claims on
Summit Flat 10000 ounces of gold. Be
fore the close of the season 100000
ounces were taken out, and the orig
inal members Of the expedition had
enough money to keep them comfort
ably for life. About as much more was
taken out during the next season be-
fore the bar was exhausted.

Austin, Texas, May 2S.-Eugene
Burt, the wife and Child murderer paid
the penalty of his Kline on the scaffold
at 11;1S Yesterday morning. Life was
extinct in eleven and a half minutes,
and two minutes thereafter THE body
was cut down and turned over to the
undertakes, who in obedience to re-
quest by Burt several days ago, COW
cred his body with the United States
flag and permitted no one to see his
face. The remains were buried in the
city cemetery at O'clock yesterday
evening.
When his cell door was opened, five
minutes before the hanging, Burt walk
ed out without being called and as
cended the scaffold with a steady step
and went straight to the trap. Before
pinioning his arms and limbs, Sheriff
White asked him if he had anything
to say, and he replied: Eyes, l have
only a word to say: With the eXcep-
ton of the disgrace this is the happi-
est moment of my life"
He stood erect on the trap, with
head thrown back and arms hanging
naturally while being tied, and, glanc-
ing at the crowd of about 100 people
who had been admitted to witness his
departure, remarked to the sheriff:
This is a larger crowd than l expect

There was no hitch whatever in the
proceedings. The lever and trap work.

neck.
He died without making any con-
fesslon, and to the very last manifested
absolute Indifference as TO his fate and
refused to receive the benefits of relig-

DIVERS ESCAPE A SHARK.
Thrilling Experience at Wharf in
South African Waters.

Thrilling Experience at Wharf In
South African Waters.
Durham Letter in the Cape Argus;
One of the local divers named Batten
has experienced a shock and narrow
escape. He had been engaged to re-
cover few heavy rails which had
fallen overheard between a steamer
and the main wharf. The rails were
found, and one had been hauled to the
surface, when Batten perceived young
shark swimming around him. Having
omitted to arm himself with the usual
divers knife, Batten moved to the
boat and secured a weapon, intending
to stab the shark if opportunity pre-
scented itself. On descending to the
bottom again, however, Batten did not
see the prowling monster" and pro-
ceeced to the rails which remained to
be hoisted. He was about to attack
the next rail when, to his surprise and
alarm, he noticed a huge shark, APP
proXimateiy sixteen feet long, lying
right across the rails. The diver was
in a quandary, because retreat from
such a monster was exceedingly dan
gerous, while open hostilities with the
knife would have been almost suicidal,
not only on account of the size of the
shark, but on account of it's being lit
orally sheathed with barnacles. Fur
Their, although the shark lay almost
motionless, not single rail could be
touched without disturbing it. With
view to frightening the shark Batten
suddenly released all the air contained
in his suit, which act caused a cloud of
bubbles to rise from the escape valve.
The shark did not bulge, and when
the suit had reflled Batten made sew
eral feints as if to stab his enemy, but
again without the desired effect. Then
the monster made his first move. Stead
lily he rolled over on his back, showing
a long white belly, and opened and shut
an enormous mouth framed with rows
of ivory white sawlike teeth Batten
wisely waited for no more, but dipped
the escape valve, causing him to rise
rapidly to the surface. He lost no time
IN scrambling up the ladder into the
boat out of harms way. A number of
people spent great part of the after
noon in endeavoring to hook the shark;
various kinds of bait were tried, but
without success.
