Discovered by a Woman.

Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by lady in this
country. Disease fastened its
clutches upon her, and for seven
years she withstood it's severest
tests, but her vital organs were
undermined, and death seemed i'm
minent For three months she
coughed necessarily, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered way
to recovery, by purchasing Of us q
bottle of DR.. Kings New Discovery
for Consumption, and was so much
relieved on taking the first dose that
she slept all night; and with two
bottles, has been absolutely cured.
Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz. y

Summer Aids to Feminine 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.
Elderflower-water is famous for its
cooling properties, as is also lavend-
er water.
Never go out in blustry weather
without veil unless you wish q
tanned skin or freckles.
Do not forget, when drying the
face after washing, to rub upward
toward the nose. This will prevent
wrinkles, and will help to smooth
out to a great extent the crease
al )ngside the nose.
Use neither hot nor cold water
exclusively for bathing. A good
rule to follow is hot bath at night
and q cold one in the morning, but
be sure to take bath daily IL you
wish to keep your skin in good con-
dition.
Do not wear tight shoes if you de-

portant an event as the final retirement
Of Spain from the Western world, which
Columbus discovered and which for
400 years she has ruled, ravaeed,
pIundered and oppressed. She has
drawn from that world treasure enough
to pay several hundredfold for all that
there was Of Spain when Columbus
sailed. She has given language, laws,
institutions, certain amount of civil
cation, and dominant population to ID
Independent Nations, having a popula-
ton of 100000, or twice that of
Spain to-day, and occupying territory
bigger than Europe Yet all this is
ended, and Jan. !, 1899, her flag retired

one. A few stalwart, dignified officers

| ferred Civil Service reform. The men
| whom Mr.. Cleveland, in deliberate vio-
lation of Civil Service principles, turned
out to make places for his henchmen
have now been out over two years, and
their supplanters have been for about
that time drawing salaries under an
Administration pledged to right the
wrong Still more, Mr.. Cleveland shut
the door on thousands of other veterans
who are rightfully entitled to public
employment by putting the places, after
he had filled them with his own men,
under Civil Service protection. This
was piece of partisan impudence, per-
petrated after the people had declared
in favor of the present Administration,
and it was solely intended to deprive the
victors of their just share of patronage.
1t was so manifestly unfair that it was
confidently hoped that the annulment
of it would be one of the first acts of
President Mckinley. 1t should have
been. Instead, it has been allowed to
continue for two years. The veterans
of Che country have been the greatest
sufferers by it. They had the strongest
claim on the places from which Presi-
dent Cleveland's order excluded them,
and they have been anxiously awaiting
its revokal.
Now let the President make the year
1899 a joyful prospect for the veterans
by an immediate reform in the Pension
Bureau and in the Civil Service.
