THE SECRET OF BEAUTY.
One Can Never Be Pleasant to Look
Upon Unless In Good Health.

'"The most helpful and agreeable
bath is that of tepid water" writes
Ruth Ashmore in the August Ladies'
Home Journal. Few people can stand
absolutely cold baths, and no matter
how strong one may be such a bath
should not be INDUCED in unless thor
ough rubbing be taken afterward. To
speak plainly, 1t must be remembered
that while a cold bath may be more OF
less invigorating ii is not cleansing.
can easily understand the desire oi
every woman to have a clear, beauti.
ful skin, but i confess to being pro-
voked when I think of the amount OF
money spent on lotions, creams and
powders to be applied externally, and
which have nothing like as good an
effect upon the skin as a tepid bath
with good soap taken at least once
week. The condition of the skin de-
pends amost entirely upon the care
given to the general health. The girl
who Is up late at night, gives no caro-
to her diet, indulges I'm various stimu-
lants, bathes but seldom, and exercises
less, is certain to have either a dull,
muddy-lookin6 skin. or one covered
with disagreeable-lookin black and
red spots. One should avoid many
sweets and much pastry, and not allow
herself TO become a slave either to tea
or coffee any more than she would TO
some vicious drug or strong stimulant.
She should also remember that, unless
she is in good condition internally. she
will be anything but a pleasant object
to look upon externally"

PHOTOGRAPHY IN THE DARK.
DIR. w. J. Russell Has Invented q
Novel Process.

DR.. w. j. Russell, f. r. S., comes to
the front before the Royal Society in
London with a discovery no less strik-
ing than photographing objects with
out light; that is, he can take ones pie
ture in the dark, he himself being in
the dark, too. In an elaborate lecture
describing the process, the doctor says
that ne has succeeded in taking no less
than 1000 pictures entirely in darkness,
one exceedingly interesting specimen
being a photograph of an illustration
taken from Punch. This kind of pho
calls dark exposure" for success, cer-
tainly has the world at a disadvantage
III there is no safety, even in the dark,
against being brought down by some
dark exposure" fiend lurking with his
machine for prey, then some of the most
important concerns of life may as we'll
be given up In despair. Dark seances
have afforded much delight and infor-
nation for ghost seekers, overs IN SUBJ
urban parks, and great variety OF
persons engaged in the pursuit of
knowledge, reflection and undisturbed
sociability. Such a machine musr
prove deadly to occupations that have
furnished material for so much of the
worlds romance, poetry and advance
ment. If dark exposure photography
Is TO be permitted. let It's operations be
confined to the detection of burglars,
policemen off their beats, and people
Justly under a cloud. Otherwise the
prospect is appalling.

Pipe Face Characteristics.

The constant habit OF smoking pipes
has a perceptible effect upon the face.
The pressure OF the lips to hold tho
pipe i'm position increases their curva-
ture round the stem, and the muscles
become more rigid here than in other
parts. Thus, says Tit Bits, the lips at
a certain point become stronger. and
the pipe is unconsciously held in the
same habitual position.
After long continuation Of the habit
small circular wrinkles form with the
curvature OF the lips around the stem.
These are crossed by finer lines, caused
by the pressure OF the lips 10 retain
the stem in position.
In the case OF old men who have
smoked pipe for years the effect upon

The Little POrtcr's Dangerous
Work.

With the first shot from the shore
the torpedo boat Porter began TO
attract attention. In the printed plan
of attack. issued to the squadron on
the day before, Admiral Sampson had
said: THE Porter when the action
begins. will cross the harbor- mouth
behind the iowa and get close under
the cliff TO the eastward OF the De-
troit and torpedo any Spanish cruiser
trying to get out of the harbor."
In obedience to this, she had rolled
along under the walls OF the battle
ship. that was now turning across the
mouth of the harbor herself; i'm fact,
lay with her broadside facing the first
anchorage. But now the Porter
began to draw ahead, and i'm few
minutes had reached her station. IL
seemed a safe station at first-so far
as the guns OF Moro Castle were con-
cerned II was perfectly so-but within
few minutes-it was at 5.29 o'clock
"A gun I'm one OF the works over near

horrors that would have followed upon
a defeat 10 our arms.
Scarcely less abominable were the
acts OF the Spaniards OF cervera's

PEELED to submit and the valor of that
dash out 10 certain destruction is Sc
riously marred by the despicable zeal
displayed TO rob the victors of the well
recognized fruits of the victory. The
torpedo boat destroyers and the cruis-
ers oquendo and viscaya were pretty
well knocked to pieces before the Span
iards could get around to destroying
them themselves but after the Spanish
flag was hauled down on the Teresa
and Colon and the American fire had
ceased no pains seems to have been
spared to destroy these cruisers and
wreck their armament according to
well defined plans for such dirty work
made before the squadron put out. The
Colon offers particularly glaring ex-
ample of this as she was practically
uninjured by the American guns but
between the time OF her surrender and
the taking possession by the victors
she was skillfully sunk on her beam

cue a particularly desperate problem.
At the rate she is going Spain is
likely to be stripped OF her much
boasted honor quite as completely as
of her Atlantic colonies. She is a
wretched proposition from top to bot
tom with no title to be cassed with
civilized nations. She needed good
licking and she is getting it.

THE 18-YEAR.OLD BROTHER.
he Needs Frequent Large Doses of
Commentator at His Sisters Hands.

"Your brother is not particularly
handsome, and now that he is eighteen
years old you cannot deny that he is
awkward" writes Ruth Ashmore.
counseling the sister how to influence
her brother, in the August Ladies'
Home Journal. "He suggests to you a
shape not unlike that of spider, for
he seems principally arms and legs,
while he has wonderful ability in the
way of stumbling when he ought to
walk straight. The girl who tries to
do right should be quick to realize that
to make her brother more at ease in the
general world she must clear from his
mind any ideas he may have as to his
own lack Of beauty or grace. The boy
of eighteen usually needs a good dose
of commentator, or else he believes
that everybody is banded to scoff at
him. When he is introduced to a
strange girl he doesn't know what to
say, and yet she is a pretty girl, for she
stands and looks at him, and seems TO
convict him Of being out of place, while
he wishes that he were at home. He
wishes, again, that he hadn't come to
the party, and he is about as awkward
looking and as unhappy as any boy of
his age can be. The belle of the room
gets rid of him with great quickness.
and he realizes that she Is laughing at
him as he sees her chatting and smil-
ing with an older man. Then he grows
bitter. This is the time that his sister
needs to bring all her sweet influence
to bear upon him. She can ask her
partner to take her over to her brother,
and politely excuse herself as being en-
gagged to her brother for the dance or
promenade. She can make him grow
to believe in himself. and soon may pre-
sent to him some girl, less beautiful,
perhaps, than the other, but one who
knows how to encourage and make
happy another girls BROTHER, because
she has brother and knows how tend
er the feelings of boy are, and how
easily wounded"

This Is the Kind of Men the
Navy Is Made OF.

We were fairly away on our new
course, the lookout at the foremast
head OF the Nashville" hailed the
in the east. The smoke was seen on the
bridge at the same instant, and a mo-
ment later warship. with a white hull
and yellow smokestack, came BOOM
ing along at full speed into plain view
Uncle Sans warships were all of a
tlue clay color, in those days, and Capt.
Maynard, of the Nashville was forced
to conclude that here was a Spanish
cruiser, and one of more than double
the size of his little gunboat.
The route to poss' ble safety was
north by west,a quarter west, the
route to Key West, but the way of
honor lay straight ahead.
In voice that could not be heard
on the "kanapaha, 1.-TWO lengths away
could not be heard because it was per-
fectly calm and low, Capt. Maynard
gave the order to clear the ship for
action. At the blanc OF the bugle we
saw men and officers running to their
stations; saw the signal-1ag that
had been flying at the fore truck
come downeon the run. and Old Glory
spread to the breeze in its place. saw
the men, as they reached the guns,
swing them about to point away for
ward, shove the long cartridge into
place and then lean far out of the ports
in their hunger for a sight OF the
enemy.
IL was a false alarm. for the ship be-
longed to the people who have shown us
that in time OF trouble blood is thicker
than water; she was the British cruiser
Talbot. But If the reader wants an es-
innate of the courage of the crew OF the
Nashville. let him consider these fig
ures. The Nashville measures 1871

A NOVEL. PROCESS.
High Temperature Produced by
Combustion of Aluminium.

Goldschmidt, In a paper read at the
annual meeting OF the German Electro
chemical Society. describes an interest
ing method of producing high temper
atures by the combustion OF aluminium
with the aid of the oxygen chemically
combined with metal as. for instance
In iron oxide; instead OF aluminium,
magnesium and calcium carbide can
also be used; the effect was surpris-
ing; the mixture is ignited with
match, after which IL burns away
quietly. The furnace was made of an
ordinary wooden bucket lined with
sand, 'and an iron rivet Weighing &C
pounds were readily heated.
The method is specially we'll adapt
ed for hard soldering or brazing; the
cost OF the process is small, as only
very little aluminium is consumed. and
cheap variety can be used; the cost
of brazing fiange on a one-inch iron
tube was scarcely four cents. Pure
wrought iron can also be produced in
this way and the method can there
fore be used for welding; large holes
can also be melted through thick
wrought iron plates; the process Is OF
value in metallurgy, as in this way 1t is
to obtain certain pure melted metals
free from carbon, which ii was former
ly impossible to produce: a piece OF
metallic chromium weighing SO pounds
and produced In this way was ex-
hibited.
The temperature was said to be
about 5000 degrees c.; the energy con-
sumed i'm one OF the experiments was
estimated to be 1000 horse power
(hoursD, as Ii was equal to the amount
which was necessary TO produce that
quantity of aluminum; alloys of iron
with boron, titanium and alloys of
chromium and copper were shown.
The Stag is also of interest, as IL is ar
tificial corundum and is very much
harder than the natural variety; 1t
may be used again for producing
aluminium. AS by-product there were
artificial rubies. although they were
small The action of aluminium with
sulphates is so violent as to be almost
explosive. The method forms a means
of storing energy in aluminium. -Elec-

Miss Helen Gould again evidences
that she is a highly practical philan-
thropist. She has recently contributed
three thousand suits of pajamas and
several hundred abdominal bands to
the Red Cross stores. She didn't buy
them in the shops and she didn't set
up social sewing society to make the
goods. She gave the work to needy
women to do and thus compassed two
acts of beneficence in one.

The Santiago shopkeepers refuse to
accept the great and glorious Yankee
silver dollar at its face value but rate
II, along with Spanish American silver,
at fifty cents. OF course this is very
wrong OF them. In silver the Ameri-

cents. but inasmuch as Uncle Sam puts
his dollar mark on 1t, dollar it is and
Uncle Sam is good for the difference.
