Complexion and Diets.

Hot milk is the newest panacea for all
complexion ills. If the face be wrinkled,
sallow, freckled, or otherwise afflicted,
hot milk, says the enthusiast over this
new remedy, will produce cure. Con-
verts declare that the face, after being
washed with hot milk at night, feels
wonderfully refreshed, while the skin
soon becomes very white and soft They
also claim that a generous quantity -of
milk poured into the bath is positively
magical in removing fatigue.
Fruits being refreshing, nourishing, APP
petizing, and purifying, have great ef-
feet on the complexion. Grapes and APP
plies are very nutritious; grapes gener-
ally agree with the most delicate people,
as they are very easily digested. Black
grapes are fattening. Apples are more
easily digested when baked and eaten
with cream, and many can partake of
them in this way who could not eat
them raw.
Oranges, lemons, and lines affect most
directly the complexion, and are espec-
tally good II taken before break last. Ripe
peaches are easily digested, but are also
fattening Strawberries, containing
larger percentage of iron than any other
fruit, enrich the blood.
All fruit with firm flesh, such as
plumS apples and cherries, should be
thoroughly maSticated, otherwise they
will cause indigestion. The skin of
raw fruit should never be eaten and
small fruits should have all impurities
removed by wipEng or washing. Acid
fruit should never be. eaten with fari-
naceous food, unless the digestion is very
good.
The most recent and popular fad in
the way of diet ris the mon breakfast
diet" and it already has numerous ad-
herents, in both this country and Eng
land. A well-kriown woman said the
other day that not a morsel was cooked
in her home any day in the year until
the MONDAY meal. Her children went
off to school, her husband to his busi-
ness, and even the maid, who had be-
come a convert, went through her
morning duties-ali without breaking
their fasts. The THEORY on which these
o-meals-a-day- folk base their con-
duct is that no work being done after
the late and hearty dinner, the little
tissue waste following during the hours
| of Sleep the body has sufficient energy
stored from the evening meal to meet
! the demands of the next forenoon
| work. To take a hearty breakfast, they
| claim is simply to provide surplus
of supply, and by just that much over
| tax the system. The elimination
| therefore, of these 365 meals a year
means conserving of energy which in
| the aggregate is very valuable. They
| say. too, that after the first week OF
| two 1t requires no effort to begin the
| day without food, and even the arc
matte mocha, steaming through tht
| house produces no effect upon their res
olution.

The market hesitated at times yester-
day, but the undertone was strong,
though the volume of business was not
large. The bank statement was an agree
able surprise in that the decrease in re-
serve was smaller than had been ex-
pected. This was due to the paying off
of loans, resulting in a decrease of de-
posits and an increase in legal tender.
The statement impaired stimulus to the
market and the whole list advanced.
The general opinion yesterday, after the
market closed was that this weeks busi-
ness will be better and that prices will
be held up and may advance.
Sugar continued on its downward
course yesterday, reaching 122 SIS at the
close. There is selling of Sugar by the
speculative public all over the country,
and apparently there is no diminution in
the desire to sell. The general opinion,
which is growing stronger every day, is
that Sugar is either going to par or still
lower The old arguments are gone over
every day, and there seems no escap-
ing them if the facts are as the public
understands them. The Sugar war is
really ON without doubt, but it is under
stood that it will not be felt in the trade
till later The Sugar people are predict
ing decided cut in prices. The Ar
buckles and the Doscher people both have
capital to invest in the fight, and they
seem determined to invest it. The out
come seems not to be in doubt to the av-
erage speculator; it must be a success
for the trust and defeat for the Ar
buckles, but meanwhile the price of Sugar
stock will go down as profits disappear,
even if the dividend is not cut.
The great deal for the purchase of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad by the
Great Northern Railway was one of the
principal matters of discussion on the
street yesterday. The deal is considered
one of the largest in the history of rail-
ways in this country. The details of the
deal and the arrangements for the reor-
ganization of the Baltimore and Ohio

The street commented with much in
terest yesterday on the story of the new
concessions of railway rights in China to
the Vanderbilts, the Rockefellers and
other large capitalists. IL seems certain
that the Chinese government has given
the rights to the syndicate in such a way
that it will not be able TO withdraw and
that one of the most important railways
of the empire will be built. Ii is to be
nine hundred miles long and to run in
a northerly direction from Canton and
Hong Kong to Hang Chow with the pros
poets that 1t will connect with the Bel
gian road to make a through line to
Peking. 1t seems to be the belief of those
informed regarding the syndicate that
the new road will be under the protec-
tion of the British government, or, at
least, that Great Britain will be interested
in it.

Death, with its steel and icy hand, has stole
its way into the domocile OF Mrs. Page, Mrs. T.
Howard and Rev. Massey, and taking from them
their most dearest friend in the person OF Mrs.
Charlott Massey, their dear mother. Though she

Wheat and Silx err.

(From the Augusta Chronicle-)
As the goldbug papers made much fun OF Mr.
Bryan and the silver men during the Letter deal
and the foreign shortage, last year, invite
their attention to the present conditions. Silver,
unjusty legislated against, holds its own and
wheat is steadily falling TO the price OF silver.
When Col Bryan shall have returned to civil life
and freedom of speech more, he will give
his critics some deadly parallels they will not
relish.

Some one has said that Grape-Nuts re-

crumbs, except that they had glistening
surfaces. This glitter comes from grape
sugar, which forms on the surfaces in
process of manufacture.

The friends of General Electric are of
the opinion that the purchase of the
Walker Electric Manufacturing Company
by the Westinghouse Company will have
a good effect on the affairs of the Gen
eral Electric. The transaction will ter
inmate a long series of litigations over
patents. General Electric was also favor
ably effected as was TO be expected by
the announcement that a syndicate has
purchased the preferred stock. This ac-
ton removes what has been regarded as
an important obstacle although the di-
rectors of the company have entertained
no doubt lately as to the result of the
litigation. 1t is understood that the syn
dicate which has bought the preferred
stock is a large holder of the common
and that the intention is to have the
new common stock pay a dividend.

A rumor has been current that the ne
gotiations for the purchase of the Mas
sau property by the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit have been broken off. This seems
not TO be so. The people who have been
endeavoring to consummate the deal state
positively that there is still a good chance
that it will be made. 1t is said that if
the Nassau property is purchased there is
probability that Rapid Transit will go
lower in the near future, though the ulti-
mate effect of the purchase should be
