SUMMER AIDS TO BEAUTY.

Cucumber Feelings, boiled in water,
will be found good for the skin. A
slice of cucumber may be rubbed on
the face, instead of soap. Lemon juice
will remove sunburn. Dill-water is
as good for the complexion as rose
water, though it makes the skin paler.
Elderfower-water is famous for its
cooling properties, as is also lavender
water.
Never go out in blustry weather
without veil unless you wish tan
ned skin or freckles.
Do not forget, when drying the face
the nose. This will prevent wrinkles,
and will help to smooth out to great
extent the crease alongside the nose.
Use neither hot nor cold water ex-
clusively for bathing. A good rule to
follow is hot bath at night and cold
one in the morning, but be sure to
take bath daily if you wish to keep
your skin in good condition.
Do not wear tight shoes if you desire
graceful carriage; no woman can
walk comfortably or well in shoes that
are too small for her feet. Do not
wear too small gloves.
Avoid tight lacing and any form OF
dressing which congresses any organ
of the body.-Mrs. Humphrey in
Ladies' Home Journal.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1899-07-20
TX R9NANG *I
81 LOVE YOU. !"

Where'er | go, on land or sea,
This thought is mine to comfort me,
Nor chance, nor loss, nor space, nor
time
Can separate your soul from mine,
And ages hence as time shall roll
Shall only weld us soul to soul;
And though our hands shall clasp no
more,
These tender words I syllable DER:
81 love-I love-I love you. -
o years that reach the backward hand
Across the barren desert sand,
Between my youth and this sad day,
Bend low to hear me while [ say,
No day has passed, no day will come,
That finds my aching heart grown
dumb
To faith that speaks beyond all death
The vital words of heavenly breath:
81 Ioye-L love-I love you.
Amidst the shadows on my way
No midnight dims this one bright ray;
Above the jar and fret of life,
Above it's sordidness and strife,
IT'S thought of you and you alone
Keeps tottering reason on its throne;
And oft | hear midst falling tears
Your dear voice say, through long gone
years,
az love-I love-I love you"
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1899-07-20
A COUNTRY BOYS ADVANTAGES
Those Very Things He Calls Depriva-
tons Give Him a Lien on Success.

Pleasure and the pursuit of it are not
the first things inculcated in young
minds among American farming peo-
pie. Pleasures come after duty has
been done, and they are rewards for
the duties that have been we'll done.
| This placing of duty first is the great
disciplinary advantage in the training
| that country boys receive. The coun-
| try work cannot be postponed, and the
accomplishment of it becomes a habit
of life, no matter how far removed the
person trained in it may be from the
| field in which 1t was necessary Pretty
nearly everything a country boy en-
counters day by day has a tendency
| toward the development of a healthy
and wholesome Individuality There is
deal of regular work that every
country boy must do. This work, pref
ty much always out of doors, incul-
Gates Industrious and regular habits,
while it contributes to physical de-
velOpment which in after years is Just
as valuable as any athletic training
that can be had. He cannot run as
fast, perhaps, as those trained by a
system; he may not be able to jump
so high or so far or excel in any of the
sports upon which we bestow so much
time and from which we get so much
of pleasure, but his development en-
ables him to buckle down to the hard
work in which very little or any i'm
mediate pleasure is extracted His
strength may be something like that
of cart-horse, but the cart-horse is
to be preferred where a long and
steady pull is required. The thorough
bred race-horse has a delightful light
ness and grace along the park Bride
paths, but the heavy work is the work
| that is most in demand, and for that

Randolph took as her privilege the
right of every freeborn, independent
American citizen. The throne of

Having said so, she FASTENED away
from Cairo, and from the sight of as

Today, Mehemet Ali Bey has re-
tired again to his palace, where he
mopes in solitary sorrow. Twice an
American girl has shown the breadth
of her independence, and Mehemet has
seen enough.
Royal society in Cairo, in conse-

spirited, and no doubt when the next
fair American arrives will at once
assume full mourning in anticipation
of the inevitable.

WASHINGTON Welded.
The Records of His Marriage Leave
Much to Conjecture.

although one of the most interest
ing events in Washington's private
life, his wedding, has been COMPARE
lively neglected by the majority of his
biographers, writes William Perrine
in the Ladies' Home Journal, sit is
generally agreed that the ceremony
took place on the sixth of January Cor
the seventeenth of January, new
style), 1859. But as to whether it was
performed in st. Peters church, in
New Kent county, or at the home of
the bride, known as the White House,
there is a wide variance of opinion.
The weight of local authority is
against the belief that it occurred in
the church; nor is there any record
in the church Indicating that the
couple were married there, although
it's rector, the Rev. Mr.. Mossom, who
had been in the pulpit for forty years,
sOlemnized the contract. On the other
hand, those who insist that the
clergyman officiated in the church
point to accounts that Washington
rode on horseback on the day of the
wedding, and that the pair were at
tended by a bridal cavaicade, as evil
dence that there was a journey be-
tween the church and the home of the
bride. This, however, is offset by
the conjecture that the cavalcade was
escorting the couple Immediately after
their marriage to Mrs. Custis' house
in the town of Williamsburg, or to
Mount Vernon, and that they were re-
pairing thither to spend the honey
moon"

ABOLITION OF THE HELLO GIRL
Success of the Automatic Telephone
Switchboard.

A man named Stronger has invented
an automatic telephone switchboard
that abolishes the hello girl" When
the subscriber wants to talk with No
43S or 962, he presses in rotation little
buttons bearing those numbers, and an
apparatus in the telephone exchange
automatically connects him with those
with whom he wishes to converse.
The first use Of the automatic switch
board on a large scale will be made
in Chicago. where the Illinois Tele-
phone and Telegraph company has &C
quired the right to operate the system
for 80 years. It announces that it will
have an exchange working in the
Windy city early next year with $1,000
subscribers. Albert G. Wheeler. an
electrical expert, is at the head OF the
Chicago concern
The hello girls" Of Chicago are in
a panic at the news. They see the
dreadful prospect Of being abolished

THE ZIONISTIC MOVEMENT.

"The Jews are developing a scheme
that has for it's object the purchase
Of Palestine from the Turk and the
founding of a Jewish government in
the land Of their fathers" writes Ed
ward A. Steiner in the Woman's Home
Companion. Already the movement
has become a formidable one in some
of the European countries. The
leader of this movement is DR.. The
odore Herzel, of Vienna, an author OF
European reputation, who, unwilling
to bear longer the taunts Of the anti
Semitic mob of his native city, and
unable to erase from his face and
heart the marks Of his race, has plan
ned this exodus with the view Of re-
storing to his people the land once
their own, in which, unmoIested, they
might live and govern themselves.
can able aid to DR.. Herzel is Rabbi
Moheleth, of Russia, one Of the noblest
and most charitable of men, revered
for his piety and saintliness of char
acter. At his word Of command the
Jews would come out of Russia like
they not be glad to leave a country
where they have experienced only
hatred, shame and cruel oppression?
In Germany there are scholarly men
yearning to lead their people-not
from narrow ghettos and squalid
homes, but from the broad streets of
Berlin and from the merchant palaces
of Leipsic and F'rankfurt-into coun-
try of their own government, where
they will no longer be the despised and
prosecuted beings they now are. In
Rome, in Venice, and in many other
places in Europe the exodus fever is
spreading and burning in The hearts Of
the downtrodden but hopeful people.
Among the French Max Nordau, the
well-known author, is the leader.
From Paris, from Marseilles, from
Boulogne, the Jews expect to go in
large numbers, leaving behind them a
country where Justice weeps because
she is not only blind but fettered. In
our own America the movement has
not received such a cordial reception,
largely because the need for it is not
so apparent here Though, OF course,
the American Jews who sympathiZe
with this new exodus do not intend
to leave the United States, yet they
are encouraging it for the sake of their
oppressed brethren all over the
world"
