HOW TO WASH YOUR FACE.
Here Is an Easy and inexpensive Way
That VIII Insure a Girl a
Good Complexion.

Telling girls How to Be Pretty
Though Plain Mrs. Humphrey guaran-
tees any girl a good complexion who
will wash her face every night and
morning, and twice day besides, ac-
cording to her directions: THE water
must not be quite cold in winter, and
soap should be used but once day.
The fingers are better than any sponge
or glove or flannel, and they should be
used as the masseuse uses hers, press
ing them firmly but gently into the
skin, and passing them two or three
times over every inch of the face. More
particular pains should be devoted to
the corners, where dust is always liable
to lodge, around the eyes, nose and
mouth. If washcloth is used it should
be of the softest and finest, and plenty
of water should be applied after the
soap, so as to wash it all away. The
drying process should be equally thor
ough and effectual, hurried rub open
ing the way to all sorts of roughnesses
and chappings. Not one girl in twenty
knows how to wash her face, and that
is the reason why massage fourishes.

A NAN OF PRUDENCE.
He Thought Cyclone Cellar Might
Come I'm Handy When He
Was Married.

Speaking of wives and their dispositions
and tendencies" said Mr.. Biskum to the
evening crowd in front of his crossroads
store, "there was John Brunt, that lived
for ten years in the cyclone belt in Kansas,
trying to raise corn and mortgages and
things like that, until he was able to Dor
row money enough to get back to Mary
land again without walking more than half
way. John come right to me, and let him
have job on my farm at $50 month,
for he was hard worker and thrifty. At
the end of the first year he had got the
Widow Aliens promise to marry him in
October, and he rented q nice little farm
to do business again on his own hook.
John was widower himself, and being a
practical sort of man, he went to work
right away putting the farm and the house
into shape. One day | happened over his
way, and found him digging hole in the
back yard.
"eWhat's that for?' says 1, walking
around and looking over things.
That's a cyclone cellar, Mr.. Biskum,
says he.
"a cyclone cellar" says I, considerably
astonished. What do you want a cyclone
cellar for? This amt Kansas
L know it amt says he; but you
know, Mr.. Bskum,' and he got very con-
fidential, I'm going to git married, and a
cyclone cellar may come in mighty handy oc-
casionally. "-Washington Star.

The place was in some gloom, for
the port on the cooks side-that is, the
one toward the enemy-was closed, and
the other stood but an inch or two upon
the hook.
THE crisis is not far off," said Mr..
lynn: wherefore we must be pre-
pared. Should the Pilanca stand the
battering and break by, we could scarce
be too speedy in taking leave"
1 apprehended him. Once get the
buccaneer astern, and the Pilanca stood
fair to shake him off. In that case we
must needs act quickly or not at all.

and 1 unlocked the starboard port.
Marry, she is on our quarterl" 1 ex-
claimed in surprise. "She is not above
half mile distant, and we have clear
ly dropped her"
The others looked anxiously over my
shoulder.
NAY. you are little in error" said
the captain. "She is more astern, but
quite as near"
''She should put forth her best eff
forts now, wherever she is, said Mr..
lynn, after a critical glance. "She is
not sure of finding another such oppor-
tunity."
''She fetches about to give us her
other broadside!" I exclaimed a mo-
ment later.
I felt secretly thankful that at least
the after part of the ship now pretty
effectually shielded US, but
by heavens, they have winged us!"
cried Capt. Sellinger, as sharp, crack
ling noise rose above the other sounds,
followed by the thump of some heavy
object.
"A big spar, or am liar!" he went
on. "Nay, but the buccaneer manages
bravely!"
THAT may bring the matter to a
head" said Mr.. lynn, coolly. II think
we should now do well to arm"
We ran over to our own corner, ac-
cordingly, and hurriedly produced our
concealed weapons. These had been
hidden away since first we came on
board. With other preparations, Mr..
lynn failed not to screw in his curious
arm dagger.
Scarce was this done when some of
the Pilanca's guns began in turn to
thunder. None were of large caliber,
being merely a few deck pieces on the
stern, and we felt little fear of their
work.
"Some one comes!" I cried, for at
that moment the hatch in the fore
castle banged sharply down.

ROLLED HIM IN A BARREL.
Punishment Pronounced Worse Tha .
Lynching By one Who Sur-
fered Il.

There's something barbaric about
lynching, as most people will agree"
said the man with the broken nose,
"but l can easily name two worse
things. One is rolling a man around
in n barrel and the other is Goa, of
tar and feathers. In my foolish young
days l arrived at town in southern In
diana to find the people excited over
several arrests for robbery. A family
named Black, consisting of man and
wife and a grown-up son, had been
caught and made to confess to many
thefts. Instead of putting them on
trial, the people had determined to APP
ply tar and feathers and walk 'em out
of town. l had no objections so far
as the Elen were concerned, but when
1t came to the woman | constituted
myself her champion and declared that
they must walk over my dead body first.
For about five minutes | was a hero.
Then about dozen men grabbed me
and hustled me into a room, and after
the Blacks had been dispatched of ac-
cording to programme, | was brought
ol1 for punishment. Plenty of tar and
feathers were left, but the crowd want
ed a change, and it was decided that
should have the barrel exercise. They
got out and unheaded big cider bar
rel, dropped me into it, and replaced
the head, and then all was ready.
Il was inclined 10 look upon the pro-
ceedings with contempt. l had never

But about the tar and feathers?"

well, met the old man Black about
two years later, and he still smelled of
the tar. He told me that it took q
weeks work with soap and water to get
the stuff started, and that spots were
left which couldn't be got of, even
when rubbed with brick. He didn't
feel the degradation SO much, but what
hurt his feelings was that he had been
obliged to put in more work on that tar
than in all his life before. He had tried
the barrel racket once, and he thought
1t shade worse than tar, but he had no

We paused for no more than to get
the sense of his words, and flew to the
raft and dragged it out.
There were now varied humping
noises on deck, which took to be the
clearing away of the fallen spar and
other debris, and was just wondering
whether the ships people felt assured
of their escape when there was COM
motion of voices aft, and immediately
little thunder of trucks showed that
the door leading into the soldiers
berth had been run open.
'Quick!" cried Mr.. lynn. 'Out with
it! The guards are upon us!"
We snatched up the raft as though
it had been a clothes pole and made
one fair thrust of it into the water.

the mate, but Pradey, eavesdropping in the
cabin, makes through the dorr and arouSeS

STRAWS OF FASHION.
Indicating the Prevailing Winds Of

Costumes.

Baby ribbon in black and white mixed
edges the ruffles on a white organdie

Powered linen lawn gowns trimmed
with wide bands of blue yelling lined
with silk and matching the color in the
flowers and edged with black silk braid
are the extreme of fashion in the way
of combination and novelty.
Golf Jackets are made of bright green
cloth, with revers, collar and cuffs of
red.
A lace bodice over white silk and
striped diagonally front and back, with
tucked bands of black tafreta silk, is
worn with cream cloth skirt. The
bands meet in a point in the middle OF
the back.
Book muslin, organdie and point
d'esprit are the popular materials for
graduation gowns.
Sailor hats made of fancy braid and
finished with band OF brown or blue
velvet are very stylish.
Alpine hats of coarse straw with soft
twist of polka dotted silk gauze or taft
feta silk around the crown and some
stiff white quilts at the side are worn
with pique skirts.
Black Chantilly in applique designs
decorates some of the white organdie
gowns exquisitely.
Dainty lawn waists in pale blue and
pink have white gimp of tucked lawn
ind lace insertion, which also forms
the top of the sleeve.
Old-fashioned tatting is coming in
again to be used as an edge for silk
plaitings on the much-trimmed gowns.
Pale blue velvet baby ribbon gath
cred on one edge and sewn in rows
around a white chiffon collar and the
upper portion OF the chiffon vest is a
very dainty bit of color in the bodice
of black and white foulard. Of course
the rows are fully third of an inch
