THE REALM
OF FASHION.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Is certainly simple enough. It is this:
Wash the face in very salty sweet
milk every night and let it dry with
out wiping. A mixture made of one
small tablespoonful of milk and tea
spoonful of salt applied to the most
obstinate blemish of the skin will cure
it almost like magic. This is the
remedy prescribed by one of the best
skin authorities in England, and it is
said that the use of milk and salt is
half the secret of the English woman's
smooth, beautiful skin.

LETTING DOWN THE AWNINGS.
Mr.. Billtops Discovers Why This is Done
on Cloudy as Well as on Sunny Days.

"Here is something that used to seem
curious to me, said MIR. Billtops, land
that was that Mrs. Billtops would let
down the awnings promptly in the morn
ing, even on cloud y days. had vague
idea that the purpose of the awning was
to keep out the sun, and on cloudy
day should have left the awnings up;
but I know now that one use of the
awnings is to exclude the light SO as in
cidentally to keep out the flies.
GAS soon as you let in the light, :"
says Mrs. Billtops, the flies are something
awful.
''Her ideas and mine about what con-
stitute the awful in flies differ somewhat
One fly may be very bothersome to me in
the morning, when / am trying to sleep,
but believe singh fly is bothersome to
Mrs Billtops at any time, and half a
dozen flies, % number that ordinarily
wouldn't disturb me at all, would seem
to her the something awful that she de-
scribes the flies to be, "as soon as you let
in the light. She hates flies just as she
does any other insect, and she keeps them
out of the house when she can, and that,
as have discovered, is the reason why
one of the first things Mrs Billtops does
in the morning, on cloudy as we'll as on
sunny mornings, is to go around and let
down the awnings, and mako the house

ESCAPES DEATH.

Bangor Commercial.
In one of the workrooms of Porter,
Parsons and Co. IS big White Star laun-
dry, on Cross street, early Wednesday
forenoon, four persons just escaped death,
by most remarkable bit of good luck.
Out in the rear of the great brick build

sons and Co.'s business is conducted,
there is an apartment, near the engines
and boilers, where the linen is soaked
and wruug. The wringing goes on in
three great circular tanks, named ex-
tractors These consist of an outer shell
OF three-efghts-inch iron, bolted stoutly
to the floor, and of an inner part, of
lighter metal, which runs on bearings
and is revolyed at speed of 1900 reyolu-
lions per minute by shafts and betting
geared to the engines. The hig5 speed of
this inner portion creates so powerful
centrifugal energy that the water is
forced from the linen, which is thus saved
the damaging wringing of the old-fash-
toned style, through rollers. There are
three extraotors in the room, which meas

On Wednesday morning the machinery
of the laundry was started up as usual.
The extractors ran at the usual sped IN
til s. Is O'Clock, when the four persons IN
the room, together with everybody IN the
vicinity, were frightened by trelnen-
dous crash. From outside people pegan

tions. Fireman Smith was near the ex-
tractor and he shouted to the engineer
and had the engines shut off instantly.
Two other workmen were near, and hir.
Porter, head Of the firm, had just entered
the room and stood near the machine.
A 2O-pound fragment flew straight
across the room and through small
aperture into the engine room, where it
barely escaped the engineer. Another

fragments were scattered about the place
with such profusion that the escape of
the people in the vicinity must be reok-
oned as little short of d miracle.
The extractor will be replaced at once.

had showed no sign of wear. The

The question of the disposal of the
Philippines ought to appeal to the masses
of the people peculiarly, for upon them
will rest the burdens If those islands be-
come permanent American possession.
From their ranks must come the young
men to sacrifice their lives in the torrid
climate and in the frequent encounters
which are inevitable with semibarba-
rians The situation at Santiago, where
thousands of the sons of the people are
sick with yellow fever and destitute of the
comforts Of life, is an object lesson of the
sacrifices they will be called upon tc
make to plant our flag permanently ovel
the Philippine Islands What will the
masses of the people get in compensation
for this sacrifice? Can anybody point out
single advantage at all commensurate
with the sorrow and suffering it is bound
entail!

THE SITUATION IN THE PHILIPPINES

THE SITUATION IN THE PHILIPPINES
There can be no doubt but the situa-
ton in the Philippines is giving the ad-
ministration good deal of anxiety. The
force there under Gen. Merritt does not
exceed -, 900 or 1900 men, and it Will
be O long time before he receives any con-
siderable addition to it. This is not q
sufficient force to garrison Manila If the
Spanish captain general surrenders, and
guarantee public order. Meanwhile the
insurgent lseader, Aguinaldo, has grown
exceedingly arrogant, and is manifesting
q strong disinclination to longer obey
the orders of Admiral Dewey. For some
time he has been anxious to attack Ma
Mia, but has yielded to the wishes OF Ad'
1niral Dewey and refrained. He has now
grown very impatient OF restraint, and
it is greatly to be feared that his attitude
will become SO threatening that Captain
General August. who is powerless to
successfully resist him If he makes an at
tack, will surrender to the American
forces and thus impose upon them the
burden of holding the city and maintain
ing order therein. This, it is feared, Gen.
Merritt IS present force will not be able to
do, if the insurgents should become hos
tile, as now appears very likely. A wri-
ter in the New York Tribune, who appar-
emily speaks by authority, says the sltua-
ton is such that it would not surprise
the authorities at Washington to hear
that the Americans and Spaniards had
Joined their forces to repel the insurgents
and prevent the city from being sacked
and pillaged by them. It was judged
some time ago. when the insurgents ap-
peared friendly, that garrison OF at least
so, 900 American troops would be perma-
nently needed at Manila to assure tran
guilty. With the insurgents hostile ev-
identity much larger number will be
necessary.
The present situation ought to open the
eyes of the people to the burden that will
be imposed upon them if the Philippine
Islands are permanently held. II fifty
thousand men will be needed to hold Luz
ION, three times that number will not be
in excess of what will be required to hold
the whole group. Thus we shall have
to MAINTAIN permanent army of occupa-
ton of at least 10000 men. more than
six thousand miles away. AS the
population of the islands is semi -barbaric
there would be in all probability frequent
outbreaks, and our troops would have to
do good deal of fighting. A population
like that of the Philippines cannot be de-
pended upon to buy much of us, because
in the first place, as q rule the wants of
the inhabitants Of the torrid zone are few,
and in the second place, the inhabitants
of the Philippines are for the most part
poor and unable to buy if they would. For
our big outlay we should get market OF
little Importance. We should simply be
pouring out N ilIions of money and thou
sands of lives annually for the glory OF
seeing the flag fly over these far off Asiat
ic islands Every sensible man will say
that that would be criminal waste OF
life and treasure.
