In the course of the band concert last
Sunday night young man met a cou-
pie of young ladies whose acquaintance
he had been assiduously cultfvating for
short time. He was engaged in q
conversation with them talking about

morning. The talk ran almost alto

subjects and the three were rapidly &C.

strangers to the ladies, happened
along. They recognized the escort and
stopped to talk. This conversation
was about unimpOrtant matters and
was uneventful until one of the new
corners said in the most innocent man
ner to the escort by the way, Smith,
when did you tell me your wife WAS
coming?" -Phoenix Republican.

AWFUL DESTROYER.
Designed To Utilize Hydrogen Gas
As An Explosive.


WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE latest
ingenious device for destroying enc
mics in time of war is a ten-inch shell
that has hydrogen for the explosive.
The inventor is the known CHEST Wat
err T. Forbes. The war department
will give his shell secret
trial some day next week. In appear
ance the shell is similar to the gas
tank in the ordinary soda-water foun-
tain. Hydrogen can be exploded by
fire and as the pressure in the shell is
about 5000 pounds to the square inch,
thus making it impossible to keep a
fuse or percussion cap in place, Mr..
Forbes was confronted with
the difficult problem of designing
some way to set the gas off. This
device is the only secret about the
shell. Mr.. Forbes says that the 5000
pounds pressure is multiplied Instant
ty, when the shell strikes, two hun
dredfold, thus giving the enormous
explosive force of 100000
pounds, which would annihilate
everything within many yards OF the
spot that was struck. The inventor
says that the shell weighs about one
tenth as much as the regular ten-inch
shell and can be made for about one
twentieth the cost of the other.

White Oaks Notes.

This morning was the first time an
express messenger has ever been sent
up the White Oaks line. The Wells
Fargo express company have been
given tie control of the express bust
ness over this line, and the initial trip
was In charge OF Messenger w. F.
Sample.
The Wells Fargo people have at
present only one agent on the line and
that atIAlamogordo, but expect soon to
open up other Offices for the benefit
of the public, as soon as the business
in the upper country will permit.
A good many of those who will build
in Alamogordo are waiting on the
new brick firm of that place. W. A.
Gum has his first kiln burning and
viii! soon be able to supply the brick
trade OF that small city, and when he
once gets his kilns to going in full
force he will be able to meet the de-
mand. The sample of brick which is
made of that clay is one of the prettiest
! that has been shown in this place for
some time. They will make beautiful
residence brick as we'll as brick for
| the business houses that intend to use
them.
S. 81. Sutherland. who has been in
the city looking after the business in
terests OF the White Oaks road as to
rates on goods and as to putting fruit
into Ell Paso from that upper country,
said to 1.-THE HERALD'S reporter
that there was good deal of trade go
ing to be done over the line from Ell
Paso to Alamogordo, for the town and
| surrounding country. Mr.. Sutherland
said as soon as the mountain branch
| of the road was finished and the saw
| mill people finished their mill the Ell
Paso folks will be surprised to.see what
fine lumber the mill will be able to
place on the market,

THE SECRET OF GOOD LOOKS.
Person Of Ordinary Features
Beautiful.

LAS a rule women wash their faces
too frequently" says Euphemia Wood,
in elbow to Have Fine Complexion"
in the July WOman's Home Compan-
ion. -..-
"It is far from being the best way to
clean the face, more especially where
rain-water cannot be procured. That
may be used quite frequently, but soap
should not be applied oftener than
three times a week. Pure, imported
CASTLE soap, such as surgeons use,
should be given the preference. Use
it at night only, and with hot water,
then rinse the face with clear, cold
water. In the morning cold water
should be used in preference to hot.
pinch of powdered borex in the wash
| bowl, but use it sparingly if your skin
is more alkaline that acid. You can
discover this by wiping your face with
Htmus-paper when you are persplrlng.
Blue Htmus-paper turns red when it
| touches an acid, and the red paper
turns blue when exposed to an alksn.
On no account must you use soap on your
| face except with raln-water. Soap in
hard water forms q scum which, even
| though quite Invisible, clogs the pores,
often causing pimples and blackheads,
and always giving the skin faded ap-
| pearance. Throw away powders, wash
| es, pOmades, lotions, OF every descrip-
ton. Without doubt there are some
very good preparations on the market,
| but how are you to know that you are
| using the one that best suits your skin?
A skin that is distinctly acid requires
very different preparations from one
that is alkaline.
cit is not generally known that it is
| the action of the sun on the natural
oils of the skin that causes tan and sun
burn. II q healthy woman could keep
this oil wiped off as it accumulates she
might always have a pretty complex
ion, provided so much friction did not
irritate the skin. One reason why the
skin on the body is so much nicer than
that on the face is that the clothing
supplies the friction necessary to keep
the pores of the skin from cloRging.
Finally, if you want nice complexion
you must take plenty of sleep in a we'll
ventilated room, stop worrying, battle
frequently and perspire little every
day. No lotion is better than perspira-
ton, but it must not be allowed to dry
on the skim

CAPTAIN Luna at Quasina .
Santa Fe New Mexican.

Santa Fe New Mexican.
During the past ten days there have
been circulated in the city OF Lag We
gas and other towns and communities
of New Mexico some scandalous stories
relative to Captain MaximilianO Luna,
of the "Rough Riders" Without re-
ferring to the details of these contem-
tible aspersions upon the character of

honor and glory of his country, it is
| sufficient to say that Captain Luna's
conduct throughout the terrible battle
of La Quasina was of that heroic char

miserable character-assassins who are
