CLEOPATRA USED COSMETICS.
The Worlds Most Beautiful Woman
Used Artificial Aids to
Comeliness.

When Cleopatra made captive the
Aeart OF Mark Anthony, the victor OF
Philippi, she was "a years old. At this
age women Of the orient begin to show
signs of a decline of their physical
charms. The fact that the star-eyed
Egyptian was then in the height Of her
beauty warrants the assertion that she
wisely used whatever cosmetic art was
known at that time to improve her per.
sonal appearance. And even If she had
not employed the salves, etc, there 10
certainly one thing she would not have
failed to do, and that is 10 dsrken her
eyebrows. All the women of the orient
1arken their eyebrows and eyelashes
to-day, just the same as they did thou
sands of years ago. Proof Of this was
found In the graves which contained
not exactly eyebrow pencils, but tiny
boxes filed with black paste and small
wooden implements for applying the
same. This was used not alone by the
women, but by the men also, says 8
London exchange.
Even manicuring was known in those
ancient days, because we are told by
the best authorities that Paris had
most shining nails and darkened both
bis eyelashes and his brows. ,-
1t would be an easy matter to ridi-
cule all the various ingredients of these
slaves, but it would be injustice to do
so, because some of them have been
used ever since through all these CEN
turies and have thoroughly proven
their efficacy.

1t is claimed that the movement to
discredit Kansas wheat is the first
step Of a gigantic millers' trust to
destroy and drive out Of business all
the mills Of Kansas. The trust is
said to include the big mills ofDuluth,
Minneapolis, Chicago, Cleveland, To
ledo, Pittsburg, Buffalo and New
York, In this country, and some
English mills. Kansas millers have
refused to join this trust, hence the
fight. or the 65,OOO,0OO bushels OF
wheat the Kansas mills grind per
annum, $500, 900 supplies the home
consumption, and il confined to the
grinding of -four for home consump-
tion, our mills would not run to

IAPAN'S ARMY AND vAvY.
Recent Military Progress Of These
People Exceeds That Of
ether Nations.

Since her war with China, Japan has
made more progress as military and
naval power than almost any other
nation in the world. OF the SS2,500,-
OOo war indemnity she received from
China she has spent 100000 on her
army and more than 100000 on her
navy. At the beginning of that war
Japan's army on peace footing con-
sisted of $1,000 officers and men. This
has since been increased to 145, 900 on
q peace footing and $4,000 on a war
footing, relates the Little Chronicle.
Since the war with China she has
added four hrst-class battleships,
six frst-class cruisers and large flo
tills of torpedo boats. Besides these
she hes nine second-class cruisers,
five third-class cruisers. ten coast de-
tense vessels, two frst-clasS and Is
Second-class gunboats, four dispatch
boats and torpedo depot ship. The
Japanese navy is now larger than the
Russian navy. The naval and mill
tary officers are as carefully trained
as those of European nations. Jap
anese naval students are to be found
1T Annapolis, in this country, and in
all the best naval schools of Europe.
Her new warships are among the best
that float. Two of the new battle
ships are exact copies of the great
English battleship the Royal Sover'
eign, and our own cruiser Charleston
was modelled after the japanese cruiS
er Naniwa.
