Creme Marquise and
 How it Is Prepared

Massage has become so popular that many advocates of this modern treatment of physical ailments and blemishes be- lieye that 1t is veritable cure-all. Per- haps 1t is; it certainly has accomplished wonderfully beneficial results, when used regularly by nervous and debilftated pa- tients. Massage is also recommended as the remover of wrinkles, and the smoother out of all unbecoming puckerS in pretty womens faces. But, every one cannot be massaged regularly and satisfactorily; therefore it is well to have a substitute, which is warranted to accomplish much good to feminine complexions. A recent writer upon beauty, that elusive gift to woman, tells of creme marquise in the following extract:
 With creme marquise you need neither skin food nor cold cream, for it takes the place of both. It is flood, meat and drink" to the skin. When properly made 1t Is a hard white cream, and as soft and velvety as a honeysuckle bloom. Here is the for mula:
 CREAM MARQUIsE.
 Five parts of white wax.
 Fifty parts of spermaceti
 Fifty parts of oil of sweet almonds.
 Thirty parts of rosewater.
 Go only to a first-class pharmacy to pur- chase your ingredients. Tell them to give you the proper quantities to fill a three ounce jar. which is quite enough to make at one time, and which should cost you about 25 cents. If they mix it for you the charge will be fifty cents at the very least I should advise all my girls to make the creme marquise themselves, as it is a most delightful experience But let me tell you, you can't whip 1t together with the abandon of muffin-making. It requires careful treatment. And If 1t doesn't get it. you'll be likely to find yourself in a frightful mess, for creams and things of that sort can act worse than angel foods or pound cakes that slump down in the middle.
 Take small porcelain kettle and in 1t break the white wax and the spermaceti. Add the oil of almonds and set the kettle inside another one containing boiling

ANOTHER CALAMITY.
An Explosion Injures Eleven Workmen,
Four of Them Fatally.

-Four men were fatally and seven seri-
onsly burned by gas on Saturday in the
South Wilkesbarre colliery. The four
men fatally hurt are: Albert Catlin,
fire boss; Fred Seymour, fire boss; Char
les Sharpe, company hand, and Thomas
Flanagan. These four may live four or
live days in great agony. 1t usually
takes that length of time for such iniur-
les as they received to prove fatal.
The others burned are James Heron,
Martin Gallagher, Bernard Conyngham,
Peter McGill, Martin Brennan, Richard
and Owen Jones, brothers. OF these
seven the burns of Heron, Gallagher
and Conyngham are serious and their
recovery is not certain.
The mine is considered the most gas
eous and consequently the most danger
Gus in the region. The cause of the
accident is yet matter Of speculation.
The officials and men do not know for IL
certainty how the gas was ignited.
The mine has been the scene of other
disastrous explosions of gas, and but a
short time ago resumed after being con-
sderahly damaged by Il similar accident.

four inches and was proud of the honor
until the Fourth Pennsylvania took the
starch out of the Buckeyes by exhibit

six feet seven. In the number of
brothers enlisted this state is the leader.

tancing all others with its seven Flecks.
Their father was also member of the
troop but failed to pass the physical test.
When it comes to contests Pennsylvania
always shows up well.
As the Ninth regiment is expected to
leave the country in a few weeks the
formation of a third battalion of four
companies for it will probably be post
poned for the present. Nearly 200
recruits are needed, however, to fill up
its eight companies to LOG men each.
