PAGES Must Be Pale Now.

From the New YORK Press.
Paris has a new fad. Fashionable wo-
men have decided that color OF any kind
in the complexion is in the worst taste
possible. Only an absolutely pale face.
R7ith no trace Of tint anywhere, is the
proper thing now. Since, unfortunately.
there are only d few naturally pale beau
ties. and most persons who are pale have
a sallow or yellow t!nge IN their skin, the
only way IN which the new fashion can
be followed is 10 whiten the entire face

NAMES CROP OF DEER.
Estimate That $4,000 Have Been Killed
This Year.

Bangor, December l6.-The big game
season in Maine closed saturday night
and the returna nearly couplets, indi-
cate large kill Of deer, while the number
Of moose killed has not been much, II
any, less than In 1898
The number Of deer transported
through Bangor thif year by rail was
34l6, an increase of 80 over the mum Der
transported last year. Some deer are yet
to be transported, under special license,
90 that the excess over last years figures
will be increased.
The numbsr Of moose transported to
date has been i38. Last year the moose
shipments complete amounted to 20!, but
that included many heads transported af-
ter tho Close Of the season and whole
moose taken out Of the woods iu CLOSE
time BY special license. This year the
Aftermath will probably bring the total
shipments fully up to last years.
Fewer large moose have been shst this
year than formerly. Sportsmen say that
the woods are full OF young moose, not
yet sufficiently developed to be worth
shooting as trophies, and that, later ON.
next season perhaps, there will be more
moose aud good antlers than there have
be IN In 10 y o Q past. 1t is estimated..t that
10, O00 deer have been killed In Maine this
year.

There arc several reasons. We are

newspaper q week We now try to read
several every day. The eyes are
worked from early morning until late
at night. Nature simply won't stand
1t and We have to wear glasses. An
other reason is because We understand
the eye better. We know the good and
bad effe,ts of lenses. We know how
to relieve discomfort and suffering
which q few years ago had to be
endured. Thousands Of people had
sick headaches sll their Hives ana
knew no permanent remedy. Now
more than six out Of ten are cured
with lenses. When We consider how
slight q defect will throw the eyes
out Of adjustment IL is wond er that
glasses are not worn even more than
they are.

"Neither the Crimean war nor the Indian

critical periods was Great Britain SO
isolated politically or regarded with such
dislike and suspicion as are now almost
