BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin is the seat Of an almost end
less variety of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are all due TO the
same cause, acid and other poisons IN
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations Of
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used IN this class ofsdiseases cover up
for a short time, but cannot remove per
manently the ugly blotches and the red,
diSfiguring pimples.

The proprietor of one of the new
apartment houses near Fifth avenue
has paid rather heavy penalty for
having cartOonist rs one of his ten

make them. The prOprietor's features
are pronounced. and he wears long.

torted TO suit the cartoonist's fancy,
has appeared nearly every week In one
of tie comic papers. Sometimes the
proprietor figures as the villain and
again as the cOuntryman who is bun
koed every week In the pages of this
publication. The cartoOnist lets the
whiskers grow from week to week;
then, just as his victim imagInes that
they Will grow so long that his friend

Diplomacy q Fine AT.

Diplomacy is fine art, aud In It's
successful practice much depends upon
the observation Of social conventions
Some Of the most successful diplomats
seem to spend most of their time al
dinners and parties. apparently doing
nothing but enjoying themselves, but
In reality serving well their countries.
In truth, the reputation of country AT

fare In important issues depend very
largely upon the social abilities Of it's
minister, for the man who is popular
socially Is very likely to drive a better
international bargain than his unso-

at Washington. and the selection of a
chief for one of our foreign embassies
depends in no small part upon his so
cial culturc.-Edward Page CASTOR In

Pho sIowness of Starvation.

During prolonged fast the loss of
weight is unusually rapid at first and
decreases as the time goes on. Death
ensues when n certain percentage OF
the loss has been reached. and this per-
centage varies according to the origi-
nal weight Fat animals may lose half
their weight. thinner ones perhaps two
fifths. A man or woman of rather
spare build weighing 143 pounds
might, therefore, lose about 50 pounds
before succumbing. Children die after
n fast of from three to five days, dur
ing which they have lost quarter of
their weight. Healthy adults. however,
have TASTED 90 days when water has
been taken. A German physician re-
ports the case of Il woman aged AZ
years who TASTED for 10 days, taking
water freely. She lost Al pounds out

GreeIey's Awful Writing.

1t Is interesting to recall the fact tina.
Horace Greeley left behind him very
frank criticism of the legibility Of his
own chirography. Being up town il
New York one day, and wishing tC
send a telegram and also to get shaved
he entered a hotel and sent his dis.
patch. Then. passing into the barber
shop. he sat down In a chair and lac
cOrding TO cuStom) was soon sound
asleep.
Meantime the telegram had created
a decided sensation, Mr.. Greeley hav-
ing thrown it down hastily on the desk
and neglected to translate it, Nobody,
from the manager down. being able to
supply legible equivalent for the
mysterious characters, a messenger
was sent into the barber shop with the
screed.
Waking With a start, and supposing
that the boy had brought an answer to
his dispatch, Mr.. Greeley took the
paper. scanned it for a moment, and
then, with look Of deep disgust, piped
out: what blamed idiot wrote this?"

George Schaub, a well known Ger

is constant reader of the Dayton

paper aims to advertise only the best

Cham berlain's Pain Balm advertised
therein for lame back, he did not
hesitate in buying bottle OF it for
his wife, who for eight weeks had
suffered with the most terrible pains
in her back and could get no relief.
He says: AFTER using the Pain Balm
for few days my wife said to me,
Il feel as though born anew and be-

A Bit of Harrison's Humor.

In an address OH the "ImmInities
and Privileges of Diplomats" at Yale
recently former Secretary of State
John w. Foster spoke about the late
Benjamin Harrison's amusing crti-
cism of the custom of foreign govern
ments in sending notices to this coun-
try upon the birth Of q prince or prln-
cess and the red tape the United States
went through In formally recognizing
the advent Of such royal personages.
Harrison believed that the most eff
fective way to discourage such royal
notices coming to this country would
be for this government to send to all
European courts the name of every
youngster born in the United States as
q possible candidate for the presidency
and require the foreign courts to send
return diplomatic recognition Of the
