Surgical Wit.

Al Boardman of Minneapolis
tells story illustrating the en-
vious rivalry between his town
aud St. Paul:
can Irishman from st. Paul
got hurt at Minneapolis and was
taken to one of the hospitals.
His injuries were painful, but
not dangerous. However, he
felt sure that he would not sur
vive, and he constantly walled
to the surgeon:
"Och dochthor, do somethin
for me quick, I'm dyin. ]
know l am. III never see ST.
Paul alive"
"See St Paul alive? olurted
out the surgeon. You'll die OF
old age before anyone ever sees
St. Paul alive"
"And it made that Irishman
so mad he wanted to thrash the
old doctor, and nobody heard
any more wailing from him, but
he got out of the hospital at the
earliest day"

performance Of l;ertram and

And think that without her the earth

May the angels her deeds of devotion be-
friend
And crown her endeavor with cheer.
More strength to her hands and more

May the clouds never darten her sun,
And duty and beauty, in Loves magic art,
Forever be welded as one.
She's only a working girl Chance has de-

She must dwell with the lowly on earth;
And yet she is rarer in thought and in

Has been, in the midst of my toll and my

year-old Dick a spanking If he brought

One night when she went down to see
that everything was secure she found
unmistakable signs of battle. Then
she remembered that Dick had been
unusually quiet and well behaved at
dinner and had gone TO bed early. So
she went upstairs with stern deter
mination in her soul, for the mill of
maternal justice grlnds surely in the
Bridgeman family.
Straight to Dicks room she went, and
ii her heart softened at sight of the
quiet figure in the bed and the dark
head outlined against the pillow it did
not stay her hand, She turned down
the bedclotnes and vigorously applied
the slipper. Instantly n roar came
forth in the bass Of her gErwn-up son.
Thunder and bla4es. uOther, what

There was an explosive snicker from
under the bed, but Mother Bridgeman
was too used up TO trace the sriclker
to its lair. And Dick didn't get prom

WASHING THE FACE.
The Greatest of Care Should De
Taken OF the Method.

Taken OF the Method.
The method of washing the face daily
is of great importance, as even if one
only washes 1t twice day the operation
has to be gone through 700 times in
the course of year, and this would
naturally affect it for good or evil.
Highly scented or highly colored soaps
should be avoided, and one which gives
n soft lather and does not cause any
feeling of irritation is the best. The
soap should be well rubbed into the
face with clean piece of flannel, and
then bathed off in basinful of abso-
lutely clean water, SO that every par-
ticle of soap may be removed. After
thoroughly bathing the face should
be dried with Turkish towel, and
then, II the skin be coarse and thick,
DIT may be rubbed with a rough towel,
but II the skin is at all sensitive, very
soft towel should be used, and the face
finally well rubbed over with n piece
OF chamois leather. Gentle friction of
the face with soft leather, or, better
still, with the finger tips, when clean,
tends to remove lines. and to prevent
Ao i'a''oh oi "rinkles. II INES nave
formed, the skin should be rubbed in a
direction contrary to their length, as,
for example, If there are vertical lines
between the two eyebrows, they should
be rubbed from side to side; if there
nre straight lines across the forehead
they should be rubbed down from the
hair to the root of the nose and back
again.-Cincinnati Commercial Trib-
une.
