How to Look Good.

Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on healthy
condition ofall the vital organs. If the
liver is inactive, you have bilious
look; if your stomach is disordered you
have a dyspeptic look; if your kidneys
are affected, you have pinched look;
Secure good health and you will surely
have good looks. Electric Bitters" is a
good Alternative and tonic. Acts directly
on the stomach, liver and kidneys, pu-
rifles the blood, cures pimples, blotches
and boils, and gives a good complexion.

ROScttes Under the Chin.


4 very high, tight collar, be it OF
ribbon or linen, is not the most agree
able sort of yoke in hot weather; but
fashion is question of style, not
comfort. Exceedingly pretty drawn
neck bands are still worn, but most
frequently made of white silk muslin
or tulle, bearing large and small black
velvet dots. These finish with one or
two big rosettes right under the chin,
Collars of shirred chiffon, mounted on
stiff silk bands, shaped to run up in a
point high behind the ears and hook
ing invisibly on the side, are by all odds
the leaders for the present. They
cheat the eyes into thinking a short
throat is long and render their wear
ers utterly miserable. To add another

head and Nashville that went out In a small
boat off Clenfuegos and cut the cables
there under the constant fire of thousand
Spanish sharpshoOters. He also knows
that two men Of those who volunteered for
that hazardous work were killed and that
lmost all the rest were wounded. ConSe-
quently when these two sailors appeared
on the street they were objects of interest.
The first man to tackle them was the tall
policeman who looks out for people at the
trolley loop. He ran over to them in great
excitement and insisted on shaking hands
with both.
so them Spaniards actually shot you!"
he exclaimed over and over again, looking
The men over from head to foot.
Looks that way, doesn't it?' returned
the Marblehead man.
Then a crowd got around the two sailors
and everybody wanted to shake hands with
them. They were patient with the people
for awhile, but finally the man with the
clutches started to go ahead, saying:
GIVE us a chance there, boys; we're a
little bit under the weather yet, you know"
A rousing cheer went up for the men as
they went away, and the crowd dispersed.
But goodly number of the people couldn't
let these two men out of their sight so soon
and they followed, remarking to everybody
who came along to see what was interesting
so many people:
"They were shot by the Spaniards. These
are the fellows that cut the cables"
Near Chatham square the crowd held up
the sailors again and there was another
small demonstration. The sailors had to
tell all about their experiences in Cuba half
a dozen times and give vivid descriptions
lof how they were shot To get away from
the crowd they finally boarded cable car
where they immediat ely became objects o,
interest to the other passengers. Their
Chatham square admirers gave them a
cheer as the car disappeared up the Bowery

OVATIONS FOR WOUNDED TARS
Reception Given Men From the Nash
vile and the Marblehead

During the first days of the present war
with Spain the appearance of a United
States sailor on Park Row or the Bowery
was the signal for a small demonstration
and if the sailor got back to his ship sober
it was because his capacity was greater
than the purse of his entertainers. This
enthusiasm over Uncle Sans fighting men
did not some time ago. and while people
still turn to look at a man-o'-war's man on
the street. ack is not so apt to be run into
saloons by admiring strangers and treated
to drinks as he was.
Several days ago, though, there was a
scene on Park Row In which all the old
enthusiasm reappeared. Two of Uncle
Sans sailors appeared of a sudden at this
end of the bridge Both were young and
good-looklng, but the thing that made them
interesting was the fact that one walked
on crutches and the other had his head SO
swathed In bandages that his hat could
scarcely keep its place. On the hat OF the
man with the injured leg was "Marblehead"
and the other mans hat had Nashville"

the dust. In 1874 there were about
twelve guns in position, some of them
showing dates 1865. 1872, etc, and the
commandment and his garrison of forty
soldiers were almost as antique. For
more than a year he had received no

years no pay. In 1872. when the notorious
Captain Bully" Hayes and his pira teal
associate, Captain Ben Peese, visited
Guam, the governor quarreed with
them, and trained the guns Of the fort
upon their brig. This so ezra ged Hayes
that he wrote a letter to the governor
and threatened to send a boats crew
ashore and pull the place down. The

Commercially a wider expansion Is
necessary. The world moves and 1t Is
moving more rapidly in the far east,
especially in China, than in any other
part. Changes, rapid and of great con-
sequence are Transporting. The Euro
pean powers have already begun to par
tition off China. Their rule will take
the place of Chinese rule. Our extern
sive trade, which has been enjoyed for
forty years under treaty with China. Is
certain to be impaired. France and
Russia are noted for the rigidly eXclu-
sive policy they have always carried out,

Our commerce with the vast empire Of
China is in danger Of being largely de-
stroyed.
America must have an outlet for her
commerce. The reason why our mills
and factories operate for a few months
and then close down, throwing thou
sands Of laboring men out of employ
ment. Is that our foreign commerce is
too limited and that the home market
becomes overstocked. and as conse-
quence the mills must close.
The Philippines are the key by which
America can unlock the doors of east

DEWEY'S SMOKELESS POWDER
Capt. Russell Says He Used Some Of IT
in the Battle of Manila

Philadelphia, Pa.-While it is claimed
that Dewey was completely without the
modern smokeless powder when he fought
the battle of Manila, Capt. Charles J,
Russell of this city, who is one of the fore
most powder experts of the country who
studied the subject with Prof Carter at
Harvard and who has every phase of its
manufacture at his tongues end, claims
that Dewey was at least partially SUD
piled with the smokeless article and that
it was potent factor In the battle This
powder, he says, was shipped to Dewey
from western factory a few months be-
fore the engagement that has made tho adj
mrals name a household word.
In appearance this powder is as much
unlike the more ancient compounds as
anything we'll could be- Anyone would
mistake "a little pile of it for handful Of
macaroni. The resemblance is almost per.
feet In color and shape. A fine thing about
this powder Is that 1t Is a hard matter to
set 1t on fire. 1t takes more than a sput-
tering sulphur match to ignite it. One Of
these macaroni-like grains of Dewey pow-
der about half an Ench in length YVES
placed on the edge of a table and the flame
of an ordinary sulphur match was applied
to it. At first the compound assumed a.
the half melted mass gathered on the end
and dropped on the floor with a sizzling
splatter. The grain was afre 1t burned
gradually and slowly and emitted no smell
nor vapor Another grain similarly ex-
perimented with, and somewhat more bel.
ligerent than the first, shot across the "a,
Bile with wicked squirt when lighted and
exploded under a nearby chair. Capt
Russell also says that while Sampson real
ly fought his battle with smoky povden
one out of every twelve of the artillery
discharges was made with the smokeless
variety. This powder, however, was very
different in every respect from Dewey's
smokeless. Its grains are fiat, thin and
about quarter of an inch square and are
the color of hammered gingerbread, This
Is also slow burning. and is capable Of
generating powerful mass.-St. Louis
Giobe-Democrat.
