BFAUTY'S GRAVEST FOE.
An Ill-Temper is Always Sure to Ruin
Its Victims Beauty.

Bad temper and worry will trace
more wrinkles in one night than hot
and cold bathing and massage and
complexion brushes and creams and
lotions can wash out in years faith
full application. Physicians assert that
an immense amount of nerve-force is
expended in every fit of bad temper;
that when one little part of the
nervous system gets wrong the face
first records it. The eyes begin losing
the luster of youth, muscles become
fabby, the skin refuses to contract
its wrinkles, femininitys fiercest aad
most lnSldiOuS foe. There is no use al
tempting to reason with a woman
about the evil effects of iIl-temper
while she is in an ugly mood. She
knows perfectly we'll that it is bad
form; that it savors of the coarse and
underbred; that it is weak and belittle-
ing and immoral, and that it hurts her
cause to lose her temper. But she
does not stop at just that time to
think about it, and to remind her Of
the fact only adds fuel to the flames.
But when she is cool and serene and
at peace with all the world, if you can
convince her that each fit of temper
adds year to her age by weakening
her mental force and by tracing crow
tracks about her eyes and telltale
lines around her mouth, she will
probably think twice before again for
getting herself. For no matter what
she asserts to the contrary, woman
prizes youth and beauty above every
other gift the gods hold it in their
power to bestOw upon mortals. Adele

HE WAS RICH. BUT

A Colorado miIIionaire-extrem
milIionaire-one who is getting up an
art gallery, went to Whistler's studio
in the Rue du Bac. He glanced
casually at the pictures on the wall

and gray, in brown and green.
How much for the LOTT" he asked
with the confidence Of one who owns

-Four milions.' said Whistler.

CLEANING FINE LACE.

Occasionally a piece Of fancy-work
on the lace order does not show soils
enough to justify sacrificing it's lacy
newness to the process of washing.
If such work is laid away for week in
a heavy book between blue tissue
paper, having had rubbed into the soil
ed places calcined magnesia or pipe
clay, it will come out cleaned and
frightened by the process. This is a
good way to treat Battenberg and point
lace work which has become dingy or
yellow.-Woman's Home Companion.

IDAHO CONVENTION.
Silverites Have an Interminable Strug-
gle over the Division Of the
Spolls.

PoCATELLo. Idaho. July 2O.-The
Democratic state convention this morn
ing reconsidered the vote by which Il
last night voted against the nomina-
tion of senator. The vote on recon-
sideration was l25 to 100. A substitute
for the original substitute was then
adopted by a vote OF 1872 to 1i3. This
instructs the conference committee to
consider the senator one OF the offices
to be apportIoned. but does not make
any declaration on the subject OF nom
nation.
This result Is complete victory for
Dubois. and there seems little doubt
that he will eventually be nominated
for senator.
Since morning the convention has
done nothing. remaining in recess
awaiting a report from the convention
conference committee.
AT lO15 tonight there is still no re-
port. The Popullsts are seeking to se-
cure control OF the state government
and to this end they proposed a d.
vision giving them most everything,
the Silver Republicans being accord
ed the senator and secretary OF state,
and the Democrats the school superin-
tendent. lieutenant-governor and two
electors.
The Democrats later offered to give
them the auditor mine inspector and
congressman. and the Silver Republl-
cans the senator and secretary Of state.
over these propositions the contest is
proceeding and there is yet no indlca-
tion Of an outcome

! Ii Hung Chang appeared much
moved. but told the petitioners he
dared not disobey the mandate from
Pekin. He urged them to use their in
huencs with their neighbors and in
feriOrs to induce them 10 respect the

The populace then tried to block the
streets and keep the city gates shut so
as to prevent Ii Hung Chang from
leaving. but soldiers cleared the pas
sage and he finally embarked on board
the Chinese steamship An Ping with a
suite of PSI persons and sailed direct
for Hong Kong.

edged to the American consul that he

says:
Il, for one. hope the integrity OF the
Chinese nation will be upheld" said
James s. Angel. president Of the Uni
versity Of Michigan and former minis
ter to the Chinese Empire. in an inter-
view.
Il should be sorry indeed" Presi-
dent Angel continued. ito see China
broken into fragments. 1t is best for
her and best for the rest Of the world
that she be not dismembered. l cannot
see how the powers can keep from war
fare among themselves If they partl-
tion China.
But the powers must do something.
and there is little doubt as to the ulti-
mate outcome. Every foreigner must
be guaranteed a safe residence in Pekln,
even If the powers have to destroy the
Chinese Empire to accomplish it. There
is not a nation which has had repre-
sentative there which will be content
with less than that.
Again the question of indemnity
will arise, and believe China will be
forced TO pay for all losses incurred.
And, I am sure, If the empress and her
advisers are found to be in any way
responsible for this. one Of the most
atrocious crimes against international
law that has ever been committed
since international law has been
known, 1t means the cleaning out Of the
whole establishment. The person OF an
ambassador is sacred. He is free to go
where he pleases, and his right to COM
municate with his own home govern
ment is guaranteed. To violate this
as grossly as those who are in
power, or who usurped power. in China,
have done, is to arouse the wrath Of
the civilized world, and nothing short
Of the wiping out Of those responsible
will satisfy the nations against which
the crime was committed"
What were the exact causes and
conditions that led to the present
trouble?" President Angel was asked.
"The primary cause is the extreme
hatred which the Chinese bear toward
all foreigners. There are great differ
ences in fundamental ideas and ideals
between the European and Aslatlc peo-
pie. No intelligent foreigner can travel
through Asia without noticing IT,"
Are the Chinese adverse to the in
PRODUCTION of the Christian religionT
NO not in that broad sense. they do
not seem to fear for the permanancy Of
their own religion. 1t is not that they
object to missionaries and the Christian
religion as. much as ii. is ,that the mis-
sionaries are foreigners. -
