Objected to Frills,

The late Admiral kirkland, known
in the service as cred Bill" was a
veritable "sea dog" as the term is
popularity understood; brave and fear
less, possessed of many genial quail
ties, but strict disciplinarian, with
the greatest horror of anything like
'dudeism" or aGectation among his
young officers.
On one occasion the Admiral re-
ceived visit from arecently appointed
young officer.
"How do you do, sir; how do you
do?" said the little midshipman.
"Howde do?" said the Admiral
gruflly.
81 suppose you got all of my tele-
grams, Admiral, did you?" asked the
young officer, trembling at the rather
ungracious attitude of his superior Of
ficer.
"What kilograms do you refer to?'
asked the Admiral. ''l got no tele-
grams"
81 am very, very sorry" said the
young man, now thoroughly frightened
at the Admiral's attitude. 81 tele-
graphed that was coming from al
most every station, sir" Admiral
Kirkland turned in his chair and glow
cred at his little subordinate.
"Why do you suppose that care
whether you came or didn't come?
Never presume to do tnat again, sir" F"
And the poor little officer, thoroughly
abashed, skunk out of the room.-

down collar and expensive buttons,
others single-breasted, with small
pointed revers, one deep bias dart

many jackets is deeply rounded below
the waist-line, making the jacket con-
siderably longer there than on the

BATTLE IN THE WOODS,
Remarkable Duel Between Big BeaI
and a Bull Caribou.

The only enemies the caribou has
to fear among wild animals are the
black bear and the lynx. The latter
is very destructive to the young in the
spring and summer months. The ef
forts of bruin in stalking and pulling
down unwary stragglers from the herd
are more successful than is commonly
supposed. In the mating season.
however, the bull caribou, like the
goat that tackled the grindstone, has
the courage of his convictions, and,
unless taken unawares, is apt to give
the bear very stiff argument. Adam
Moore, of Scotch Lake, New Bruns-
wick, in October, 1897, was the wit
ness of remarkable battle between q
large black bear and bull caribou.
From subsequent examination of the
ground it appeared that the bull was
accompanied by three COWS and q
fawn. The bear had evidently crept
up on the fawn and killed 1t with one
stroke of his paw, when the bull ap-
peared and attacked the bear in a
most valiant manner, the COWS run
ming off in the bush. Adam had just
padded up the dead-water from camp
and was lifting his canoe over an old
beaver dam when he heard rumpus
on the bank :, ewrods up stream. He
padded close to the combatants, but
they paid no heed to his presence.
The bear refused to give up the dead
fawn, but seemed to be handicapped
by guilty conscience. Whining as
if in protest at the unfriendly treat.
ment he was receiving, he sat
bolt upright defending himself
with his fore paws as the agile
caribou circled him. The latter ami.
nal seemed to be wild with rage, and
his movements, as he tried to impale
the bear, were so rapid that Adam
could scarcely follow him. The bear
parried the blows of his assailant
adroitly, but wore a bored expression
as if he really wished a general dis
armament as loIg as nobody inter.
fered with him. Adam noticed that
the caribou's neck was bleeding from
an open wound and that the bear had
been gored in the breast and flank.
Anxious as he was to see the issue of
the fight, his sympathy for the caribou
was too strong to be resisted and he
brought down the bear with a we'll
aimed shot. Even when his enemy
was dead the caribou continued to
strike at him with his saucer-like
hoofs, while Adam silently watched
him from the deadwater. Then, being
apparently convinced that he had slain
his hated foe, the bull uttered loud
grunt of triumph and rambled off in
search OF the harem.

There is a Detroit family that ar.
ranged to spend the cold season in the
Bormudas, and due announcement OF
the fact was made in the usual way.
An unforeseen event deferred the pro.

and meantime they would have it be-
lieved that they had already departed.
All the servants but one were dis

made to look as though the place were
closed, and temporary residence was
taken up in rear apartments. A friend
of the family, who had just returned

the bell led the servant to show her
beaming countenance through a crack

A Wonderful Case.

Nelson Mackold, of Waukesha, has
lived since May, 1897, with two bull.
lets in his brain, either one of which,
so the doctors say, would have killed
anybody else.
On that date horrible crime was
committed on lonely farm near Wau-
kesha. A man named Pouch killed
Farmer Alexander Harris, put two
bullets into Mackold's head and left
him for dead. He then went to the
house and, after Mrs. Harris had
given him his breakfast, he shot her
and her daughter.
The hired man revived sufficiently
to crawl to a neighbours house and
give the alarm. The whole country
was aroused and some days after the
murderer was found in pond, where
he had shot and then drowned him
self.
The grasp of Mackold upon life was
marvellous. All the doctors said he
would die, but instead he got well and
by the end of the summer was able to
work about the farm. In the interest
of science Mackold was taken to Chi
cago and an X-ray photograph taken
of his brain. 1t shows that one bullet
is lodged at the base of the brain,
right over the spinal column, and the
other is in the roof of the orbit.
Physicians say that, according to
every physical law, he must of neces-
sity die from the effects of the bullets
in their present position. Yet the
man lives, is strong and we'll, feels no
ill effects from the bullets and is as
sane as he ever was.

Fox Terrier Cracks and Eats Nuts.

A lively little fox terrier owned by
family uptown has developed a
strange habit. In his afternoon
rambles now he stops before grocery
store in front of which, among other
things, there is usually an open box
of table nuts. Picking up two or three
nuts in its mouth the dog runs away
with them to its masters house, few
doors off. There, stretching itself on
rug in front of the door, the dog
holds nut between its paws, cracks
it with its teeth like a squirrel, and
eats it with relish. New York Sun.

According to DIR. Gill, Cuba is also
remarkable for two species of blind
fishes, distantly related to the cod
family and otherwise represented only
in deep sea forms. They have, after
many years, adapted themselves to the
fresh water of the caves in which they
have become isolated and have lost
their sight after living many genera
tions without seeing daylight. In
Cuba there are also some fresh water
"gar pike" curious because of their
resemblance to alligators. This SINH
larity in appearance is suggested by
the "gar pixies" hard, bony scales,
which will resist musket shot, also
by its snout, conspicuously croco-
dilesque. Other fresh water fishes of
Cuba are related to similar species of
South America, Mexico and south
western United States. Those related
to our species are some forms of killie-
fishes and mumichogs. The only food
fish in Cuban water is large mullet,
which has wandered inland from the
sea. sea.-Washington Star.

youthful bride, who repeats in her

The first thing for q woman to dc
when she wants to apply massage to
her face and neck is to study the CON
stitution and conditions of her skin.
She must know whether she has a
fatty skin or dry skin. If the skin
is too dry, then elasticity and power
of tension are lacking, SO that the skin
cannot follow the movements of the
facial muscles and nerves, and the
consequence is that the skin relaxes
and the wrinkles come. In this case
your skin must be fed with the lack
ing fat. To this end vegetable fat is
preferable to animal fat.
If the skin is too fat it seems to ex-
ude parafine, the pores become en-
larged by the tallow, pimples and
blackheads come to you as natures
friendly warning that your skin is ab-
normally secreting fatty substances
This superauous fat must be removed
by dry facial massage. Even if your
skin is good, your face without a
blemish. you should still give it mas
sage treatment occasionally; it is as
necessary as gymnastics and exercise
for the body.
BY skillful treatment of yourself
you can remove the fatty secretions,
thereby producing q natural, trans
parent, white color of the face. The
circulation will be accelerated, and
wrinkles, if not too deep, will in q
short time dematerialize.
Let US suppose that you want to
free your face of tan, patch, moth,
freckles. You will first annoint the
face and neck with some kind OF cold
cream. Now, with the lightest touch,
rub from the roots of the nose upward
over the forehead, and again, begin
ming at the middle of the forehead,
with the same light stroke, run toward
the left, and from the middle of the
forehead toward the right. For every
direction that you take about FIVE
strokes is the beneficial number. Be
careful to so especially against the
horizontal wrinkles in the forehead /;
those that usually start out from the
top of q fat 'sway" nose.
Now stroke from the right and left
corners of the eyes, over the temples,
especially against the crowfeet. near
the eyes. Close your eyes and give
same number of strokes over the up
per and lower lids, beginning at the
nose and stroking out. Begin at the
tip of the nose, go over the nose
proper, and over the wings of the
nose toward the right and left sides.
Under the lower lids, beginning at
the nose and over the cheeks toward
the ear.
Next, beginning from the wing of
the nose, the corner of the eye, and
temple, toward the middle of the right
and left lower jaw. These strokes
must end at the same place. Your
next starting point is the middle of
the chin, and thence toward the mid
die of the jaw, and vertically, starting
from the temple. Under the chin and
beginning from the right and left
sides of the neck downward to the
breastbone.
This whole treatment requires only
about fifteen minutes daily; and bear
in mind, for in this particular almost
all amateur masseuse err, the lighter
the stroke the better. Chicago Rec

culinary secret thus: The condition
of the birds when cooked and "eter-

in this connection that turkey should
be killed week before needed (if
the weather ia cold) and treated to
daily rubbing inside and outside
with cider vinegar, hard cider or
sour wine. By this method both the
tenderness and flavor are greatly
improved.
This same writer says there is an
item about turnips which every cook
should know-namely, that when
they are strong or rank, as they are
more apt to be than not, they can be
made mild by cooking a few potatoes
with them, the potatoes being so alb
soibent that when done it is d ltfi cult
to distinguish them from the turnips.
The potatoes should be put on only 30
minutes before the turnipS are done.
