EYEBROWS AND LASs4E0.

Long, Sweeping Eyelashes Protect tAs
Eye from Dust.
It is upon record that great beauties
In ancient days devoted much time to
the care OF the eyelash and brow.
Some beauties do so nowadays. but
many a girl who has pretty eye
could enhance its attractiveness by 4
little care. Long, sweeping eyelashes
have been admired by poets and lovers
from time immemorial and there is
certainly something pretty in the long
eyelash sweeping down on fair
cheek. Not only does it add to the
expression, but it Is a greater safe
guard to the eye from dust and dan
gerous flying particles. If the tips
Of the lashes be trimmed occasionally
and little vaseline or olive oil be put
upon them each night, the growth will
be aided very much. And then about
the eyebrow-how often women are
neglectful about it! Shakespeare tells
us how the lover has writ "woeful
ballad to his mistress eyebrow" but
lovers In olden days were more appre-
ciative of this feature than they are
today. Eyebrows differ with every in
dividual, but if nature has not been
careful to provide one with those OF
perfect form, much can be done to help
matters. The eyebrow should extend
slightly beyond the orifice Of the eye
at each end. Toward the temple 1t
should terminate in a mere line and
1t should be slightly broader at the
other end. Upon the peculiar arch and
the breadth of the eyebrow much de-
ponds. Delicate features require a
delicate brow, while a face that is
strong in character requires holder

open the wrapper of the package and
thrown it to the ground. This was
picked up by the officers of the law,
and was the only clew in their posses

Shortly after Baileys return to
Springfield he received the money
which Letton owed him. Detectives
suspected Bailey of numbering the
drover, because he was known TO have

commission of the crime Consequent
ly an experienced officer was put on

kept under constant surveillance for
several months.
In the meantime Mrs. Baileys health

to take her on a Southern trip. De-
tectives followed him. Wherever Bal

dustrious, modest and amiable, natur-
ally had many suitors for her hand.
Among them was one Stephen Letton,
q prosperous young farmer Of the
nsighborhood. This man was con-
coded to be Winifreds accepted lover.
The Holloway residence was situated
near the public highway, and travellers
were frequently entertained there
During the summer Of 1888 stranger
giving his name as Thomas Bailey,
stayed a few weeks with the Hollo-
ways. He stated that he was from
Boyle county, and was in quest OF
mules. which he was buying for the
Southern market. He was hand
some man, and, to all appearances, a
gentleman Of high standing.
An attachment sprang up between
Winafred and the stranger, which re-
suited in marriage in the spring OF
1887, not before Mr.. Holloway had,
however, satisfied himself that Bailey
was all that he represented himself to
be. After the wedding Bailey took up
his residence with his father-in-law.
and. strange as it may seem, strong
intimacy was formed between him and
young Lection, Winifred's rejected
lover. If Letton felt any resent
ment at his treatment from the young
lady, he gave no evidence Of 1t, but
continued on the most friendly terms
with the entire family. In the autumn
following Winifred's marriage Letton
sold his property and announced his
intention of emigrating to what is now
West Virginia, alleging he had pur-
chased an interest in coal mine
there. About this time Bailey decided
to return to Boyle county to settle up
some unfinished business, and then tc
journey to Eastern Kentucky in search
of mules.

IL the British empire can subscribe

country should feed the starving of
the countries it has subdued. The
English colonial system has impover.

are starving to death. Let England
feed its poor. Puerto Rico is demand
ing 500 tons of food per week from the
paternal Uncle Sam. There will soon
be other island burdens of the same
sort added to the responsibilities OF
this country. England has gall to ask
apy other nation or individual for a
cent of aid for India. If the brown
people are to be crowded off the earth,
why daily with the job? Why send aid
to India to prolong the lives OF the
miserable wretches? IL Anglo-Saxon

Value Of Low Grade Ore.

Two or three, or four-dollar ore would
be valueless In a small vein, but when
it occurs in deposit more than 400
feet wide-you can build upon it for
years. The Homestake mine, upon ore
averaging less than 4s, has not missed
a monthly dividend in twenty years.
II, with its allied companies, produces
about 5000 tons daily, and the reserves
are such that the superintendent Is
fully justified in saying that twenty
years supply Is in sight, 1t is com
mon mistake to suppose that this low
grade ore is only valuable when free
milling, for the lowest grade ore worked
at a profit in the United States is not
free milling at all, but produces an ore
that must be stamped, concentrated
and then smelted. Ore from the At
lantic copper mine has always yielded
a value Of less than q per ton, yet 1t
is mined, transported quite distance,
stamped, concentrated and smelted for
about l.l0s per ton, aud has been
worked at profit even when copper
was lowest in price,"
The above statement is quoted from
remarks made by noted metallurgist,
DR.. Frank Carpenter, who bas been
travelling in Colorado and Utah study
ing the low grade ores of those Sec
tons. DR.. Carpenter says the high
grade ores will take care of themselves
that it is the low grade that demands
attention.
What DR.. Carpenter says OF Colora'
do, Utah or other mining states may
apply to California, and particularly
to Northern California There are
some high grrde gold and copper prop
Ositions in this county, and in the
eagerness to get rich mine there are
many big low-grade properties that
are being overlooked.
In some instances the owner OF
ledge that carries ore worth from 81 to

save the low grade ores against thu
