Caie. keaogg, OF the fire department.
has prepared an annual report OF ex-
eeptional shoroughness. by which the
pressing needs OF the city for its bet

very clear. Several of the suggestions
which the chief presents are OF a nature
which the municipal council win soubt-

promptly as possible

is very important that the necessary
new apparatus should be supplied with

recommendation that a competent cleo

is a reasonable one. Regulations, also
with reference to the storing Of ex-
piosives and gases can be none too
stringent.
The efficiency OF the department, with
the limited resources at its command, rs
worthy Of praise, Fire losses during the
past year have been kept 80 per cent.
below those Of 1897, the proportion of
loss to the value of property endangered
being only ss-iooths of per cent. This
has involved hard work for the men In
the department, and has been strain

Any increase in appropriation allowed

material advantage OF the city.

TO SECURE EXPORT MARKETS.
One or the best compilations which

principles commend themselves to ex-

personal investigation Of each foreign

also serve to reduce the oil in the skin.
Another cause of wrinkles is dieting
for obesity. Scowfng and frowning
during sleep also serve to line the face.
To overcome scowling a black bandage
should be worn over the eyes. The
shrinking Of the muscles which have
lost their natural vigor is a very large
source Of wrinkles. When that Is the
case, the muscles of the face reed nour-
ishing skin foods and tonics applied to
them. They thus more quickly absorb
the nutriment through the pores.
Faces on which there are premature
wrinkles may be freed from them IL
they are attended to In time and care
fully treated.
Black heads are a disorder OF the se-
baceous glands of the skin, character
lied by yellowish or blackish pin point
or pin head sized elevations and CORE
spending in position to the oriices of
the gland. II there are many OF them
on the face, they make it look dirty.
Lateral pressure will force out the
sebaceous matter in a thin threadlike
form. From the accumulation Of dust
and chemical changes caused by contact
with the air the sebaceous matter be-
comes discolored; hence the term black
heads. Black heads are most trouble
some between the ages OF IS and 80.
Disordered digestion, sluggish liver,
scrofulous conditions and chlorosis are
sccurces Of black heads. The ~infreouent
use Of soap, especially by those Of oily
skin, favors the formation o, black
headE. Working or exercises In a dusty
atmosphere will serve to clog the ducts

Freckles are due to circumscribed de-
posts Of pigment in excess of that
found in the surrounding skin. They
occur under the influence of the suns
light and heat and are either perma-
nent or temporary. Persons OF light
hair and thin skin freckle much more
readily than do dark persons, for with
the former the suns rays seem to have
a greater attraction for the coloring
matter of the skin and to draw ID to the
surface with more facility. Red haired
people are notable for their suscepti-
bility to freckles.
Freckles are irregular shaped brown
ish spots of pigment, occurring on the
face and backs OF the hands. They ap-
pear sometimes as distinct patches,
sometimes as little blurs, caused by the
joining of the edges of the several and
distinct freckles. They are greatly
dreaded in this form, as they give the
skin a rusty or dirty appearance.

appearance on very small children. but
when nice they come they may be re-
garded as chronic, lasting at intervals
for a lifetime and being more marked in
summer than in winter.
AS a p~recaution those who are in
clined to freckle should as much as pos
sible keep out Of the sun. The rays OF
the sun when reflected from water are
especially productive Of crops or freck-
les.
When compelled to be outdoors, it is
a small measure Of protection on the
part of those who freckle readily to ap-
ply to the skin a thin coating of pure

contain lead or bismuth are more or
less poisonous. Such preparations,

cool, green foliage The reddish purple
fruit alternates with a bunch of unripe
grapes of vivid green. Narrow black
satin stripes running through the de-
sign tone it. down. Such ribbons are
made into stocks and belts and har-
monte with any gown which one might
choose to wear.
Persian designs are prime favorites,
wrought in tapestry fashion Of blues,
ecru and old rose. Not infrequently are
seen colored satin stripes of uneven
width about half an inch from the edge
on ribbons of this character. Shot rib
bon with geometrical figures and circles
in bas-relief is very effective. Color
Is rampant-bronzes, pale blue and
coral-the delicate tints vying with one
another in Kaleidoscope combination.
Taffeta has been superseded by the
lighter weight or gauzy stuff for
ribbons which are suitable to summer
fabrics; yet, with that perversity for
which fashions is remarkable, velvet
ribbons are the vogue and are intended
for the trimmings of sheerest null and
filmy summer cloths. Plain ribbons
are no longer recognized. Delicate
shades, which are emphasized by a va
riety of blossoms in darker hues, are
permissible. Pronounced patterns
which leave nothing to the magma
ton have clearly the preference. Chrys-
anthemums and roses in garlands rival
miniature beds of blossoms in the sash
ribbons and seem so vividly realistic
that one is loath to make them into
bows and ends and loops or knots for
fear of crushing the life out of them.

Green is numbered among the pop

light green. The plated vest just
reached the waist line, while a bolero
Jacket fell a few inches lower. A not
able collar, low in front, with high dog
ear arrangements hugging the back of
the neck, was rather more amusing
than otherwise.
Ribbons are the proper adornment
for organizes and muslins. and since
this is a season of diaphanous clothes
the ribbon furore is at it's height.
Dresden designs are more lavish, more
artistic, more exquisite, than they have
been during the winter. Their popu-

for the past few months. Now fruits
are brought into requisition with
charming results. Some of the most
snowy examples which are on display
for early spring are in sash width,
measuring from 6 to 16 inches wide.
These have the appearance of having
had a handful of blossoms thrown at
them without regard to order.
A new r.obon scheme had a narrow
check running through the center and
a Dresden border on either side. One
especially attractive combination is IN
olive green plaid an inch and a half
wide, bordered by a vine of pansies. A
tiny check in shades of lavender, with
a violet border on an ecru background,
is among the charming varieties in this
particular pattern.
Perhaps a more novel and peculiarly
woven ribbon is that with tinsel effect.
These come in dark colors and strongly
resemble cloth of gold. A handsome
