TOILET TABLE SECRETS.
Ways of Defying Tan. Sunburn and
Prickly Heat.


There are some articles which are
generally deemed necessary for the
summer girl to have on her toilet table,
and there are many luxuries the use of
which have long remained the cher.
ished secrets of a few.
No toilet table is complete without
borax; it softens the water and re-
moves grease from the face without
parching the skin as ammonia is apt to
do.
Be sure your cold cream is made from
vegetable fat, and that you keep a suf-
ficiently generous quantity on hand for
it's many different uses. A little cold
cream rubbed on the skin and puffed
over with rice powder will do much to-
ward preventing sunburn.
The wise summer girl will have a
small bottle Of fresh lemon juice put
on her toilet table every morning. 1t
will draw the inflammation from prckly
heat. as we'll as subdue a too ruddy
complexion. 1t will remove stains from
the skin and nails, and. if used daily
with an orange stick, VIII hinder any
growth of the cuticle. Put in water it

The victim of f,sunburn should provide
herself with lime water, which is ef-
fective to relieve her misery especially
when combined with linseed soil.

WANTED TO BE A NUN.
First Impulse and How
1t was Overcome.


1t was Overcome.
Bernhardt's first impulse, upon leav-
ing the convent for good, was to become
nun. St. Augustine, the patron saint
OF the institution where she was
brought up, and whose pictures were
plentiful there, had been her first love,
and she was also deeply devoted to
her little golden image. But fate had
other things in store for Sarah. To
chemist successfully asked her hand in
marriage. The purchase of some
marshmallows has instigated the phar-
maceutical proposal, which naughty
Sarah rejected, as she had the sighs
of the glover and the tanner, says
Leslie's Weekly.
The Due De Morny, a friend Of her
mother, then gave his opinion that
Sarah ought to go upon the sage. Her
mother considered her too thin and too
plain, but yielded to the dukes persua-
sions, and allowed the child to apply
! for admission to the Conservatoire
! The manner in which she recited the
1.-Two Pigeons by La Fontaine, Sc
cured her a place at once. Auber, the
composer, and lRegnier, the poet, were
on the examining board.
Regnier predicted she would become a
| comedienne and one of his colleagues
that she would be a tragedienne, but
another one of the directors prophesied
a yet more alluring prospect-that she
would be both. So Sarah went to work.
But she did so without the least en-
thusiasm. She felt no call for the his
trionic profession. Her likes and dis
likes had not been consulted, but that
particular vocation had simply been
thrust upon her. She had been at a
theatre for the first time in her life 8
few days before the examination, when
she saw "Amphitryon" at the Comedie
Franchise. The piece made her cry. :
Stage life had no attraction for her
During her course at the Conservatoire

"Speaking of the precautions that are
adopted in the transfer Of large sums

said a New Orleans express official, II
am reminded of a peculiar little Incl

Chicago. 7 was walking through the
banking district and about 20 feet
ahead of me was a. quietly dressed
young man carrying small valise
There were good many people on the
street, and presently big, burly fellow,
who seemed about two-thirds drunk,
came lurching along and collided with
the man with the satchel What d'y
mean?' the big chap snarled, seizing the
other by the lapel and giving him a vio-
lent push.
Before he could make another move
and in half the time it takes me to tell
it, an athletic stranger, whom hadn't
noticed sprang at him and clutched him
by the throat. At the same moment
another broad shouldered man, appar-
emily passerby, ran up and pinioned
him by the elbows.

He was bank messenger, as after

100000 in large bills from one vault

plain clothes followed him, and it was
two of the conveys who had seized the
drunkard. They evidently thought for
the moment that the collision was the
preface to a hold-up, but after ex-
changing word in an undertone they
released their prisoner and the party
moved on. The drunkard was the pic.

Do you suppose that small band Of

Preposterous folly. Get rid of the

in smiling way, "As both of us stand

A Creditable Editorial,

AS has been the case in almost all
of the labor troubles of recent years,
that have been attended by destruc-
ton of property, involving losses Of
varying magnitude, it is now reason
ably certain that many, if not all, of
the acts of that character perpetuated
in connection with the street railway
strike in st. Louis, were not the work
of, or melted by the strikers. The ar
rest of two non-union employees of the
Transit company, one Of whom was
held on evidence showing that he, the
discoverer of dynamite under a bridge,
was the man who placed it there him.
self, has led to a complete cessation
of explosions, according to the informa-
ton transmitted to the east. No doubt
many of the explosions reported were
but those of torpedoes placed on the
tracks to frighten any passengers who
might chance to be aboard, which also
provided incidents for alarmingly sem
sational reports, while most or all of
those attended by destruction of prop
erty were caused by men who either
desired to Increase the excitement to
such pitch as would induce the Gov

them Is some position or other. These
incendiary acts have become a stock
method resorted to for the purpose of
discrediting strikers and securing their
suppression by the authorities. Gov.
Stephens continued refusal to call out
the militia, and the organization Of the
posse comitatus which placed much Of
the responsibility of enforcing the law
upon large body Of private citizens,
has been the means Of exposing the real
source of the most dangerous and pc
cuniarily damaging feature of the diff

two men, showing that the authorities
| had tumbled and would thereafter di-

there has been complete cessation of
the hostile explosions, and apparently
other destructive demonstrations, the
inspiration Of which may have been
not unlike that in the use of dynamite.
All intelligent strikers know that they
have everything to lose and nothing to

VIEWS ! Z OF SW'I||N'ToN| Z \
on THE ORGANIZATION OF NON-
UNION UNIONISTS.
The Idea of Organising WOrlkingmen
Who do not believe in Union. is
not Wholly Bad-It Would he u
Great Piece Of Work Regardless
of Commemorative the Nom
Union UniOnist Take Less Wages
and More Hours.

John Swinton, the veteran labor writ
er, is not worried over the proposition
recently exploited by Chicago woman
to organize all the workers who are not
members of labor organizations into a
'non-union union to resist the en-
croachments and tyranny Of the trades
unions" In fact, he says the idea of
organizing the workingmen who do not
believe in labor unions is not wholly
bad, and writes as follows in the New
York World of the proposed scheme.
In her animosity against labor unions
Mrs. Robb, of Chicago, has devised a
plan for making them toe the mark.
Her testimony before the Industrial
Commission gave proof that she has
given thought to the subject, and her
proposed method of dealing with the
labor problem is to interest everybody.
She dilates upon the "many evil fea-
lures of the unions, declaring that they
are aggressive and tyrannical, that they
do plenty of wrongful things and that
their bad practices ought not to be tol-
Grated. Still more, she tells the pub
lie that the unions have kept her hus-
band out Of work for years.
What then is to be done?
Her plan of killing unionism is to Gre
ate more unions. Her plan of putting
stop to labor organizations is to or
ganize all unorganiZed labor. She says:
There are fully as many non-union
men in the trades as there are union
men, and the non-union men, if prop
erly organized, would be able to resist
the aggressions of the unions"
Then she adds: "The non-union
workers will be organized and the ty
ranny of the unions combated."
This looks like hopeful plan when
seen by moonlight. =.
1t signifies the universal organization
of labor, just the thing that lots of la
bor philosophers have sought so long
| to bring about. At first there will be
two kinds of unions, the unionist un-
ions, which now exist, and the non-
/ unionist unions, both of them organized
to assert the rights of labor.
That would be dainty dish, better
than ice cream of two colors in one
saucer. ,~ :. ...+'.,,, s:t *.,' @,

In connection with the long drawn out

the signers Of the agreement are now
dead, and the action taken then shows its
self to have been similar to those of like
character Of more recent date, in that the
agreement held in force but for COM
paratively short time and all the signers
lived to see 1t broken. This father and
mother Of all the tribe of commission and
rate agreements reads as follows:
TT Is a well known fact that most Of

meeting, the managers of all lines being

CONDITION OF THE CROPS

for the spring will be completed by. the
end of this week.
Fergus Falls Branch-The prospects on
the Fergus Falls branch continue good,
although hot windy days and scarcely
any moisture have been experienced
throughout the week from Deer Creek to
Milnor. The cool nights, however, have
done much to help stooling, and growing
grain is said to be looking all right and
coming up fine. Corn and potato plant

be had or the. plant will be slow in
