The Use Of Skin Fond.

A good skin food is indispensable in
face massage in all cases, except
where there is excessive oilincss, says
an exchange. Only tiny pit should
be used upon the finger tips, which
should be well rubbed in until entirely
absorbed by the pores They have
their digestive limit, as we'll as the
stomach, al d refuse more than they
can assimil ate at one time. A good
skin food consists of the purest, most
nutritious ingredients, containing
nothing tn 1T will clog or irritate the
skin. Beware of cheap skin foods for
sale at low price in - the general
stores. They are frequently composed
of vaselina, glycerine or animal fats,
which prove often highly detrimental.
pure, vegetable skin food will never
cause the growth of superfuous hair.
Now word concerning regularity.
Facial massage, like other forms Of
exercise, must be Systematically kept
up. Because you do not see results in
week do not despair. You may have
to work every night for three months,
butJ az NllG Gnu VI ludl lllut, yOul lt-
ward is certain. Massage is a tonic,
and Therefore, benefit is not to be eX
pected from a single dose. Desultory
and spssmodic- attempts at self-treat-
ment, followed by periods of inatten-
ton or forgetfulness, will result in
nothing but disappointment.
Facial massage must be always pre-
coded by a hot, soapy face bath and
rinse in cold water to remove all pos
sible irritating dust from the pores, as
we'll as to soften and prepare the skin
for this refreshing manipulation.
During facial massage, if the process
is new one, small particles of waste
matter will roll up under the fingers.
This is the dead cuticle and effete mat
ter thrown off by the pores, which is
not only useless but detrimental, to a
clear complexion. 1t has become soft
ened by the bath and amounting and is
brought away by friction. The more
frequently this process of desquama-
ton is induced, the more rapid the
growth of the soft, fresh skin beneath.

Extensive Cunning.

A single big gun of the many now
being put in place for the protection
Of the seacoasts costs large sum.
Some interesting figures on this sub
ject have just been submitted to Gen.
Wilson, and will be by him transmitted
to congress. A 12-inch breech-loading
rifle, with its disappearing carriage.
costs S141,000; a 10-inch, 500 $50, and
an S-inch, $4,000. The figures show
that modern high-powered guns cost
immense sums of money, and the cost
Of firing them is proportionately as
great. The report of experts who have
inspected these guns and the devices
for securing an accurate aim show that
there is an immense saving effected by
possessing modern-range and position
finding devices. "The demoralizing
effect Of hit as compared to a miss"
said one of these reports, cannot be
reduced to money value, but it costs
big money to shoot big gun and then
miss the mark. Take, for instance,
the Pinch gun. To miss the mark is
simply to throw away S561.70. With
the 1o-inch gun the loss is 1922. 40, and
with he S-inch rife it is $104. 65."-

For the Sick Rom.

An ingenious and easily managed ar
rangement by which sick-room may
be cooled in sultry weather is an
adaptation of the wet-sheet system, by
which is avoided the periodical wiring
ing out of this large stretch OF cloth.
The sheet is hung at the window
through which the air comes, a small
pitcher of water being placed on a con-
venient ledge or improvised shelf at
the top. This is kept full of water, and
from it, going down to the floor close
to the sheet, is a wick or large cotton
cord, or narrow strip of the sheeting,
anything to serve as a syphon for the
water. In this way the sheet is easily
kept moist

Agriculture In Alaska.

That all Alaska has not the rigor of
the Klondike is shown by the results
of Prof. C. C. Georgeson's work last
summer at Sitka and Cooks Inlet,
where the Department of Agriculture
has established experiment stations.
Last year Mr.. Georgeson made some
very interesting and surprising discov-
cries in agricultural possibilities in
Alaska, and this years work has con-
firmed his statement that profitable
farming in Alaska is by no means a
myth. He has brought to Washington
some of the finest barley, oats and
rye ever seen here, some excellent
spring wheat and some splendid gar
den specimens-parsnips, carrots, tur-
nips, onions and potatoes. One tur-
nip weighed, when pulled, ten pounds,
and a single hill of potatoes, nine
pounds, one of the tubers weighing
two pounds. In fact, Mr.. Georgeson
says you can grow any and all of the
hardy vegetables to rank perfection
in Alaska. "Of course" he said,
Alaska will never be a great agricul-
tural country; it will never compete
with any other country in this line,
but we have shown it to be possible to
grow anything wanted to supply the
necessities and even the luXurics of
life. 1t is not practicable to farm,
probably, on a very large scale, as
clearing the spruce stumps out of the
land IS a difficult and laborious task,
but the land is very rich, in fact, it
is about three feet of solid peat,
which, when drained, yields enor-
mously, and a great deal can be raised
on small area. The people them
things, especially the magnificent
grains we have raised, never having
supposed it possible. The season is
not short one, as is generally sup
posed. The Japan current equalizes
the temperature of the entire coast
very greatly. The highest point
reached by the mercury last summer
was 81 degrees and the lowest record
during the past fifty years is degrees
below zero. Killing frost did not come
this year until Oct. 10; before that
time all our grain crops had fully ma
tured. Of course, as l say, Alaska can
never be an agricultural country, but
the experiments we have made mean
that ii lining camps q be supplied
with fresh vegetables and fresh meat
It is a fine stock country. Grass grows
splendidly and clover better thar in
most places in the United States, and
cattle do we'll sheep thrive and hogs
grow fat Flax, / think, may become
an important crop of the country. We
have grown some OF very fine quail
ity, which, l understand, compares ia
vorably with the best Irish flax. 1t is
not probable that the Alaska Indians,
however, can ever be made into farm
ers. They are too lazy. They are
fond of vegetables, but have never at
tempted to raise anything with the ex-
ception Of a few turnips. They sub
sist through the winter principally on
dried fish. Our operations next year
will be quite extensive. as much time
was consumed this year in breaking
ground and draining and putting up
buildings"

Followers of Mother Ann Lee are ne
ing Depleted In Number.
The birthplace Of the Shaker relig-
ion in New England is Harvard, pic
taresque little Massachusetts town
about forty miles west of Boston. II
was here that Mother Ann Lee. an
English woman, came in the summer
of 1871 with little band of devoted
followers to expound the doctrines or
her faith. Today there are two settle
ments Of Shakers in the neighboring
towns Of Harvard and Shirley. Dur
ing the last fifty years interest in the
Shakers has gradually died out, and
the membership all over New England
has grown smaller and smaller. AS
there are never any births in a Shaker
family, the only hope of growth lies in
taking in new membership from the
outside OF course, the logical result
Of such theory is that deaths will de-
plete the ranks, and so today the COM
munities at Harvard and Shirley are
not as large and prosperous as they
were once. A large proportion OF the

The latest news from the rowing
camps at Pearl Harbor is distinctly
favorable to the Myrtles. They are re-

THE LOGIC 0FH.
flock.

According to the reasoning of the
Inter Mountain says the Anaconda
Standard, "a newspaper approves that
which it does not condemn Oh, no, the
Inter Mountain subscribed to no such
logic. Mr.. Days newspaper deliber-
ately misrepresents the facts, and to do
SO vigorously refrains from quoting from
these columns.
Last night the Inter Mountain pointed
out the persistent purpose Of the Stand
ard to make it appear that all who do
party must Of necessity favor it's rival
faction-that the independent, self-re-
specting citizen is an impossibility. Ac-
cording to the Standard, hi who does
not hurl anathemas at every target set
up by it's faction of the party to be fired
at, is particeps criminis with the target.
and equally deserving of the opprobrium
of the amalgamated family newspaper.
Applying this logic to the Standard
itself. the Inter Mountain accused that
sheet of approving of the SO. 900 bet that
Clark would not retain his seat, on the
grounds that it did not condemn it.
This seems to rave afforded the Standard
an opportunity to give birth to a bril-
liant essay IN what newspapers fail to
condemn. rs the Standard is hard up
for editorial matter, since it's stock OF
anti-Clark adjectives have become
frayed around the edges. the Inter Noun
tain can afford to overlook its DEPRESSION
OF this morning, and excuse its misrep-
resentation OF the position taken by this
paper, on the theory that a drownine
man is always expected to grasp at
straws.

IT u Be EXPLAINED.

A very embarrassing political issue in
the next state campaign will be the ques-
ton Of veracity which has arisen between
Hon. M. L. Hewitt, member of the sixth
legislature, and Hon. c. B. Nolan, attor-
ney general Of the state Of Montana.
Both men are prominent citizens, and
both train with the Anaconda pinks of
publication.
That is just where the embarrassment
comes in.
If they belonged to opposite democratic
factions. a reconciliation might be affect
ed on the theory hat both lied.
But as they are both under the mother
ly wing of the Anaconda Standard, and
have earned the right to nestle pretty
closely to the bosom Of the hen, trouble
is likely 20 arise.
According to the sworn testimony of
Hewitt, Nolan swore to a lie.
According to the sworn testimony of
Nolan, Hewitt swore to a lie.
One or the other is guilty Of perjury.
There is no evading that conclusion.
In order to elect Nolan to congress next
fall it will be necessary for the Standard
to prove that he was not the man who
was guilty Of perjury.
And yet, if it %convicts Hewitt Of that
crime. will not it's conscience trouble it
for having caused Clark's expulsion on
the strength of that witnesses testimony
that Nolan lied?
The instincts of journalistic fraternity
impel the Inter Mountain to suggest to
it's contemporary that it begin at once
to explain away this matter, so it will
have time to complete the job before the
campaign is over.
If it waits till the last minute, the public |
may reach the conclusion that a taste for
veracity was inherited by neither of these
distinguished members of the Anaconda
flock.
