scholars and 1t was equally u source of
satisfaction to his teacher. On this par

do his best. Young Roosevelt had selected

blushed painfully.

and was now steaming directly toward
us. | happened to glance toward the
poop where the captain and mate were
standing, and saw that the skipper
was pulling out and pointing his glass.
He took n long observation, and then,
to my surprise, shook his head ener-
getically and passed the glass to the
mate. Sellinger looked in turn, and al
most at once lowered the instrument
and began bawling something in the
captains ear. Houthwick answered
by nod, and turned sharply and ran
little way aft. He gave command
| could not tell what-to the man at
the helm, and rapidly returned and
descended the poop ladder. The mate
followed, stopping at the bottom to
hang the glass in some beckets, and
came to the confines of the quarter
deck. Houthwick, on the other hand,
turned short at the companion, which
he opened, and from a strap just in
side took out his trumpet. He made
no stop, but scurried out to the ladder
again, and went up with long, eager
strides, the pace faster than l had ever
observed him use before. He was not
yet at the top when the mate roared
to me, using his hand to guide the
sound:
Call all hands!"

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipat tion per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

the rungs of the ladder, alternating
with his right hand, and without any
difficulty mounted the unsteady side
and swung himself lightly over the

look alive, and walk up the anchor and
get the Industry under canvas.
The captain mounted the poop,
man was sent to the tiller, and the mate
stationed himself just abaft the fore
castle to pass the word along.
"Heave her short!" shouted the cap
tain. "Heave her short!" repeated the
mate, and the pawls of the windlass be-
gan to rattle.

sprang into the rigging. Everything
was cleared to let go, snd all hands,
except a man on each yard to stay the

"All ready aloft?" hailed the mate.
"All ready" answered the fellows on
the yards.
LET go!" and the ship flashed out
white, and stood clothed in the waves of
loose canvas. Then the chief tOpsails
were set, the yards trimmed, and the
anchor finally brought to head. She
steadied quickly to her work, and as
she climbed away the light canvas was

THE SECRET OF BEAUTY.
One Cnn Never Be Pleasant TO Look
Upon Unless In Good Health
Means to That End.

The most helpful and agreeable
bath is that of tepid water. FewpeoPfe
can stand absolutely cold baths, and
no matter how strong one may be
such a bath should not be indulged in
unless thorough rubbing be taken
afterward. To speak plainly, it must
be remembered that while cold bath
may be more or less invigorating it is
not cleansing. can easily understand
the desire of every woman to have
clear beautiful skin, but | confess to
being provoked when | think of the
amount of money spent on lotions,
creams and powders to be applied ex-
ternally, and which have nothing like
as good an effect upon the skin as
tepid bath with good soap taken at
least once week. The condition of
the skin depends almost entirely upon
the care given to the general health.
The girl who is up late at night, gives
no care to her diet, INDUCES in various
stimulants, bathes but seldom, and ex-
ercises less, is certain to have either
a dull, muddy-looking skin or one COW
cred with disagreeable-looking 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.-Ruth
