The Irl R. Hicks 1901 Almanac.

Whatever may be said of the scien-
tific causes upon which the Rev. Irl
r. Hicks bases his yearly forecasts of
storm and weather it is a remarkable
fact that specific warnings of every
great storm, flood, cold wave and
drouth, have been plainly printed in
hi now famous almanac for mary
years. The latest startling proof of
this fact was the destruction of Gal
weston, Texas, on the very day named
by Prof. Hicks in his 1900 Almanac,
as one of disaster by storm along the
gulf coasts. The 1901 Almanac, by far
the finest, most complete and beauti-
full yet published, is now ready. This
remarkable book of near two hundred
pages, splendidly illustrated with
charts and half-tone engravings, goes

day against the measure Several
times during the last session, notably
on the Porto Rican tariff bill, he re-

he attacked the whole Philippine policy

in his warnings of the dangers which

ment If colonial policy" was per-
sisted in. He also criticised technical
ly several features of the bill, especial
ly that lodging in the president the
discretion to expand or reduce the
size Of the army at will. In conclud-

New Lines Of the Popular Burlington, Cedar
Rapids & Northern Railway.


Within the present year the "Cedar
Rapids Route" will add to it's already
extensive system 100 miles of new
track, entering the very richest por-
tons of southern Minnesota.
The line from WOrthington to Hard
wick, Mimi, with its four prosperous
towns, is now in full operation.
The grading on the Germania- Albert
Lea line, passing through Faribault,
Freeborn, Steele and Rice counties, is
practically completed, and the four
new towns on this branch are already
started and doing remarkably well.
The line between Albert Lea and
Faribault, Mimi, is being extended
north at the rate of over one mile per
day and is expected to reach Ovation
ma. and perhaps Faribault, this year.
The most important town on this
line will be Glendale, located midway
between Albert Lea and Owatonna.
1t is the purpose of the Company to
make Glendale THE town, and have
no other towns between Albert Lea
and Owatonna.
The location Is three-fourths of a
mile west of Coolyville Creamery, near
the south line of Steele county, and in
the heart of the very best dairy district
in Minnesota.
1t is the policy of companies gener-
ally to locate towns too near each other
for profitable commercial enterprises.
Glendale is al exception, and has
more than double the territory of the
ordinary locations. Examine the map
and see the very large territory tribu-
tary to Glendale. There is no better
country i'm the northwest than the
northern portion Of Freeborn and the
southern portion of Steele counties,
Minnesota. The farmers have been
anxiously waiting for convenient
market.

came proficient in the handling of
arms and proud of their soldierly ap-
pearance. On July 10, while we were
at drill. it was announced that Gen.
Jubal Early had raided through Mary
land and had attacked Fort Stevens,
about six miles north of the white
house.
1--WE marched rapidly toward the
fort, the men in state of great excite
ment. AS we arrived near the top
of the hill in the rear of the fort we
passed n carriage drawn up on the
side of the road, under cover of the
bank. In this were seated Mrs. Lin
coin and two children, and standing
near were lieutenant and several or
derlies. | heard Mrs. Lincoln ask the
lieutenant to send forward for Mr.. Lin
coin. This surprised me very much,
but in n moment we went forward to
the fort, filing to the right and oc-
cupying the rifle pits to the west of the
fort, our right resting across the Sew
enth street road, which is the first on
the right of Fort Stevens, and which
passes the soldiers home.
''To understand the situation it must
be remembered that Fort Slocum was
on the right of the Seventh street road.
AS we marched past Fort Stevens saw
President Lincoln standing on the par
apet of the fort with a naval officer
on one side and an infantry officer on
the other. The guns of the fort at that
time were shelling the confederate
lines, already deployed for attack, fir
ing particularly at a house from which
the confederate sharpshooters were
keeping up steady fire. Mr.. Lincoln
did not seem to heed the mimic balls
flying about, so intent was he on watch
ing the effect of the artillery fire.
standing on the parapet, he was a
good mark for the confederate sharp
shooters, and one ball, passing between
his legs, struck in the rear OF the fort.
The infantry officer called the presi-
dents attention to this close shave,
| and advised him to retire. The presi-
| dent replied: L want to see if you
can hit that house. In a short time
| the house took fire from our shells, and
was destroyed. Then President Lin
coin, erect and cool, passed out of the
| fort down toward his carriage, and
his bearing was such that my men,
who were cringing under the fire, stood
straight as he and marched to the rife
| pits like veterans"

TO STOP ELOPEMENTS.
Notification of Impending Weddings
Would Put an End to Run
away Matches.

Writing ON "The Ease with Which
We Marry" in the Ladies Home Jour
nal, Edward Box favors the reestab-
lishment of the custom of publishing
the bans-making such publication
obligatory. This precaution which
our forbears had of giving 80 days pub
lie notice of an intention of marriage,
proclaimed from the pulpit and posted
at the l:;blic hail." he believes, was
born of wisdom and rested on sound
foundation. The pity is that we ever
got away from it. l don't say that a
return to this old custom of proclama-
tion of marriages would be panacea
for all marital evils. But it absolute
ly would do away with all the runaway
marriages, sentimental elopements and
the life compacts born of single
moonlight night, from which results
SO much unhappiness to our girls, and
which have brought and will continue
to bring, SO much humiliation and dis
grace upon parents and families. 1t is
a significant fact that in those Europe
an countries where intention of mar
riage must be publicly proclaimed a
fortnight or a month previous to the
actual ceremony, and where the addi-
tional precaution of civil marriage is
added to the religious ceremony, di-
vorce is hardly known"

MASSAGE FOR THE FACE.
When Properly Administered IL 10
Boon to the skin and Improves
the Complexion.

No woman, however regular her fea-
lures or charming her form, is beauti-
full If her complexion be bad. Tho
complexion is the keystone of good
looks.
One of the reasons little children
are so sweet is that they have such
peachy, kissable complexions.
You can, perhaps, on poor, ill-used
digestion and miserable circulation,
bolster up an artificial complexion for
n night. But it deceives nobody. The
woman with muddy, wrinkled skin
must go to the root of the evil.
She must attend to her general
health. Let her see to her digestion.
take plenty of exercise, eat whole,
some food, and neither too much nor
too little of that; battle regularly and
well every day--in a word, observe the
ordinary rules of health. Thenit will
be time to begin what is called local
treatment of the skin.
1t is very difficult to lay down posi-.
tive rules that every woman should
follow for her individual complexion.
What benefits one skin is downright
on drastic scrubbing; others need
tender care. Facial massage, properly
administered, is a boon to the skin,
but no woman should ever attempt to
manipulate her face without thor
oughly understanding how it should
be done. The flesh around the chin
and under the eyes must be touched
with n light, firm movement; that of
the forehead and cheeks will stand
stronger manipulation. The cheeks
are kneaded firmly with the thumb
and first finger of both hands.
However. the woman who would do
her own facial massage ought first to
go to a reliable masseur or mase<use
and watch carefully how the opera
tion is performed.-N. Y. World.
