Care of the Face.
Hanes.

Massaging the face Is more diff cult task than the alneteur often realizes. The theory that the harder one rubs the rounder and prettier shaped the face will grow is wrong one, for under that sort of treatment little wrinkles will quickly make their appearance. To produce a pretty contour and rosy complexion, which is the delight of every girl. the skin should be gently massaged for few moments only, every day The move ment should not he around and around, but upward. from the chin to the forehead Instead of a rubber brush a camel's hair brush, either dry or dampened in tepid water with a little pure soap, is used and is much better for the face. If used dry just after washing the faee in milkwarm water it removes the polished looksand no powder is necessary.

It's fine thing to be statesman and show up in the national parade of greatness at the capitol, but there is good deal more to il than that.

 But they miss it now and then, and l am glad to note an instance which occurred only q day or two ago. A member from Northern state had been invited to call at the lady $ hotel the next day and she had ;sISest i'm to let her know if he would come. He wrote, saying. among other things, To morrow, madam, I hope to see the loveiest women in the whole world. Naturally she was pleased, and told all the people around the ho- tel about if. Tbe next day he did not appear, and the next she saw him at the capitol and asked him what he meant by treating her 50.
 What did l do? he asked inno- gently
 You said you were coming to see me, she said blushing at the remem- brance of his words.

"Three hundred pounds a year"
Ar. Dupont looked at the harbor
master attentivf!y: he was a man of
over sixty years. Then he put his hands
in his pockets anG looked out the office
window, which bfistled with masts Of
all nations. Now Mr.. Dupont knew his
Dumas well, ard at that moment he
was turning over in his mind the meth
od the Count Of Monte Cristo used to
rid a garden of dornice which ate his
peaches.
Il should like to draw a check for
three thousand pounds in exchange for
the papers," he said. The. ships sailed
on the next tide.
When Mr.. DUPONT reported to the
secretary Of war there was love feast
in the office of the war department. At
ter the congratulations were over the
secretary said:
How much do we owe you, Mr.. Du-
pont?"
The powder maker named the amount
of his expenses, TO which he added s15.-
000 to the barber master.
But what charge do you make for
your services in the negotiation?"
Then this Franco American who
might have demanded a princely sum
for his extraordinary services, bowed
to the secretary and replied:
Il have had the distinguished honor
of helping the government; wish moth

There Is a sequel to this story. When
the war was over, Mr.. Dupont, realiz-
ing the tremendous risk run by the
government in relying upon native
saltpetre, set himself to inventing all

mountains of nitrate of soda in Chill.
and potash everywhere, the United
States will never be in such straits

maker fell a victim to his enthusiasm

Our Tiny Pacific Islands.
Some We Have Owned Since 1857 and
Still Uninhabited.

How many persons know that the
United States has possessions IN the
South Pacific that might be used as a
coaling stations in our campaign
against the Philippines ? asks the New
York Herald. Did you ever hear of
Baker Island, or Rowland Island
It's thousand chances to one that
you never did, but they have been
United States possessions since 1857.
1t has been suggested that these
tiny islands might come in handy just
at this time, pending the annexation
of Hawaii. They have never before
assumed the slightest degree of i'm
portance, and even now the officials
OF the war department at Washington
are not inclined to believe that they
can be put to practical use, except
in case of the most dire necessity.
Still, that emergency might possibly
arise, and these desolate spots upon a
still more desolate sea may yet serve
purpose heretofore undreamed of.
The exact location of Baker Island,
to be accurate, is latitude Is minutes
80 seconds north, longitude I76 de-
grees go minutes 80 seconds west.
Rowland lies two or three miles to
the north.
Neither island is inhabited, except
by sea fowl and multitude of half
starved, vicious rats. The latter do
not hesitate to attack human being.
AT certain times of the year the islands
are visited by vessels, which load with
guano, which abounds in great quanti-
ties. What little vegetation there is
is coarse and scanty.
Baker island has no fresh water,
but on Rowland island are several
pools of brackish water, supposed to
be partially freshened by distillation
from the sea. The anchorage is said
to be very unsafe. The former island
boasts a movable wharf. 1t is quite
impossible for vessels to load between
November and April.
Rowland island is two miles long
and half mile wide. Baker island
is one mile long and three-quarters of
a mile wide. Aside from the fact that
they are out of the usual sailing course,
it would seem that the island would
possess little value as base of war
supplies. But still there is some salts
faction in knowing that they are
there, and that they belong to our
government. The time may come
when, insignificant as they now ap-
pear, we may be glad of their exist
ence.

HARoTAck BETTER THAN BREAD.
Army Food Which improves Upon Close
Acquaintance.


Acquaintance.
Zone of the queerest things about
new troops is the prejudice against
army crackers" said the major, as he
recalled some happenings Of the civil
war, but they al. get over it in time,
and come to under stand that the SOL
dier's stomach has no standby like
hardtack. Our company had this ten
derfoot notion that fresh or dry bread
is better than crackers for soldiers on
for march. On one occasion we load
ed up with bread to last for three days.
The second day most of it was sour,
and the third day 1t was worse. Be-
fore we returned to camp We were
crazy for crackers, and we never went
back on them after that.
I'VE learned to appreciate hardtack
in the forced march from southern
Tennessee to Louisville in 1852. Regu-
lar ratlons ran out and flour was is
sued instead of crackers. This didn't
seem Objectionable at first, but when
we had to march all day and got our
rations of flour at midnight, with Or
ders to move at 3 a. m, the heavy
swearers came into action. There was
no time to cook even f1apjacks or sink
ers, and II you attempted to carry -four
in the rain you came out at night with
bag of paste. A cast iron stomach
could not stand such messes as the
soldiers made Of .he -four. They made
dough and baked or half baked it in
ashes or on dirty hot stones. and ate
so-called biscuits, with the soft, un-
baked centers burning lips and throats,
and. after they were swallowed. lying
