 FOUR CALL SUBSCRIBERS am sorry, but cannot give you the formula crets as they do their lives If this were not so you would not have to pay such an exorbitant price for the preparation you mention Here is the formula for face bleach which I think is very much like the prepared article you have been using: Take pint of distilled water, and from this take two ounces and heat it to boiling. In this dissolve four grains of bichloride of mercury and then add fifteen drops of alcohol. Mix one-half ounce of the best quality of zinc and ten of the pint of water and then stir the two mixtures together Bottle and always shake well before using Apply with small, soft sponge, and wipe off before the liquid dries. As this mixture con- tains bichloride of mercury do not rec ommend it, and would myself infinitely prefer using the cucumber milk, formula for which is given in the last part of my talk.
 G. A. C.-Read answer to Daisy M. do not recommend hair dyes. Most of else color the scalp and give the head most uncleanly appearance. There is a tonic of claret and sulphate of iron which has slight coloring effect The proportions are one gram sulphate of iron to sixty grains genuine claret. Boil for one minute and when cold, bottle and cork Wash the hair with this twice a week, allowing 1t to dry on. This strengthens and invigorates the hair bulbs, and thus brings back the natural tints. I cannot understand why any one objects to white hair. It softens the lines of the face, and to my mind is very beautiful. You might try clear claret on the eyebrows. MIME. HYGEIA.

The rule for this IS to use the least amount of the dark est shade. For example, the ribbon around the neck and the bow at the back of the neck are or almond leaf green; the yoke part is of Nile green ana the tiny bands that stripe the yoke are of bottle green. This makes a de- hghtful neck piece, which is very easily made by ones own hands. All of these yokes are detachable from the dress, so that one yoke can be worn over a great many plain waists.

DRIFT OF PUBLIC OPINION.

In his speech at Indianapolis, Senator
Turpie attacked the Administration for
neglecting the soldiers; favored Govern
ment for the islands like that over Alaska,
and denounced the failure to recognize
Cuban independence as dictated by hold
ers of Cuban bonds. Unless we adopt free
silver, commerce with the islands wou d
be almost impossible.
Senator Daniel thinks the annexation
of Cuba is certain, but is in doubt as to
what should be done with the Philippines.
In his inaugural address Gov. Gambler,
of Georgia, advocated the greatest cont
vervatism in regard to outlying posse ssions,
lest the entire character of our Govern
ment be changed for the worse.
At Minneapolis Senator Foraker de-
clared himself in favor OF retention Of the
Philippine Islands and the extension Of
American commerce wherever the Ameri
can flag had been carried. His senti-
ments were heartily applauded.
Senator Hale says: 81 would not take
the Philippines if Spain would give u:
$40, 900 coo with them. The sooner we droI
them the better"
Senator German says: The islands arr
filled with small darkies, and God alone
can take care of them, America ought no
to do so. There are 5000, 900 natives 81

Further conversation between the ladies'
resulted in the formation of a plot to get
possession Of the keys of Mr.. Atherton's
warehouse and spirit away therefrom few

the fair conspirators. But here rose an enor-
nous obstacle: Who would they trust to
manage the proceeding, sell the cotton and
make honest return OF the proceeds? They
were declared at the outset from taking any
of their male acquaintance into their con-
fdence, and they had no negroes to whom
they could entrust so delicate a transaction,

become toWn-tak.

She came back to the house in fever of ex-
element over the success of her preliminary
manuvers. That afternoon while Mr. Ather-
ton was sleeping off the fatigue of particu-

pockets, and that of the warehouse obtained

Die by -Four Doctors Because Of Serious C0mpi-
cation Of Diseases How He Saved Himself.
From the En.erprs,., Mapleton, Minn.

To escape death after being given up by
four doctors, and hidden goodbye to family
and friends, is an experience not granted
every man. Yet 10 happened to Mr.. lie Roy

Mr.. Bowen is q farmer, but formerly re.
sided in Napoleon, where he was clerk and
city marshall for a number of years. He Is
a well-known member Of the Masonic fra
ternity and is of sterling honesty and up
rightness Of character.
His story is of the greatest interest. He
said:

ofiS95. The doctor was summoned. He pro-
nounced my case one of gravel and said the
pain was caused by the passage of stone
from the kidneys to the bladder. l doctored
with him for three months. but was not bene-
fted. Once week would have bad spell
of two or three days duration, during which

gravel, but thought il was rheumatism of the
stomach. / continued to visit him until the
end of August. Then I became completely
bedrdden and sent for another doctor. He
called my complaint inflammation of the
bowels and treated me for that.
Tho doctor laid my case before the fac
ulty Of Rush Medical College, Chicago, and
It was decided that I had neuralgia Of the
