The Girls of Limerick.

If asked, Where are the prettiest
girls in the world?' I will Immediately
reply in Limerick, Ireland. There is a
freshness of face. lustrousness of eyes,
healthfulness of color and complexion
about the Limerick girls, en- masse,
that carry off the sweepstakes trophy.
The girls of Cork and of the lakes-in
fact, of the country all the way down
from Dublin-are somewhat of the
Limerick order In form they consti-
tute happy medium between the ro-
tund English maids across one chan
mel and the sylph-like Partisan de-
moiselles beyond the other
But the Limerick face is the perfec-
ton of female beauty human cera-
mic without a blemish. The Limerick
girl is also the highest example of eX-
quisite wit and ingenousness-an ex-
traordinary assimilation, to be sure. In
other words, while she is not insensible
of her sparkle of words. she seems like
one who has never looked frequently
into a mirror. She has regular and
sometimes very pretty teeth; and if her
nose is often inclined to retrousse and
there is an Irish expression of mouth,

beautiful features.-The Argonaut

NEW BIBLE HAS BEEN WRITTEN

New York, Nov. 27.-What may be
regarded as PRONUNCIATION similar to
that of the founding of the Mormon
church has just been made public by
DR.. Harry st. Clair, says the Syracuse,
n. Y, correspondent of the Press. Dr.
st. Clair says he possesses a new Bible
that he calls Oahspe, and this docu-
fent forms the basis on which he ex-
poets to found the new religion AL
ready he has won many followers. The
similarity to the so-called Mormon rev.
elation is that the agents worked in
somewhat the same way. The story of
Joseph Smith and his alleged confer
ence with the divine spirit are well
known. But the agent of the sect
founded on the book Oahspe worked
along more up-to-date lines. He used
typewriter instead of pen and ink.
Now that he is dead his followers as
sert that his mantle has fallen upon
DR.. ST. Clair. DR.. st. Clair explained
the new movement in the following
language: The new Bible was writ
ten through the instrumentality of DR..
j. B. Newbrough, a dentist of New
York. Finally he was directed by an
angel to get typewriter which he did,
and applied himself industriously to
learning, but with Indifferent success.
One morning two years later as he was
sitting at the typewriter the light
struck on the backs of his hands and
they began to work the machine and
kept it up for fifteen minutes. The
doctor was told not to read what he
had written, and he obeyed reverently

How to Rest and Care for the Ewes

There is no more important subject
er treatment of the eyes. To read in
the twilight, or in a dark room. or by
Pickering, unsteady light from a

The eyes can be made, not only to
retain their usefulness until late in
life, but also their beauty of express
sion and color. While general care is,
the best treatment, yet sometimes sim
pie remedies help them. Among such
helps is to battle them in mild cold
tea, mild salt water, warm milk and
weak solution of borax water. Sim

boric acid, mixed in cup with fifteen
drops of spirits of camphor and

thirds of a cup of boiling water. When
cold, strain and bottle Apply twice a
day with piece of absorbent cotton.
If this does not give relief, call in an
cculist; but it is excellent.
The oculist told me that he was sur
prised to see how many neglected

every week in hot soapsuds, using
stiff little brush. and then rinse in
clear hot water, and polish dry with
tissue paper. We should keep our
glasses healthy as well as our eyes.

women the country over are drinking
more and more every day. from San

That was the statement that startled

speaker being Dr. l. N Love- THE
increase of drinking among women is
an awful, a vital, danger to the we'll
being of the nation" he said TT is
bad enough for the father to drink,

men cannot drink successfully. Liquor
bears a closer relation to the passions
and emotions than any other article
of drink or diet, and one drink poisons
the brain so that its action is no longer

DR., Love asserted that the question
of intemperance is being solved in the
business world by the fact that men
who drink even moderately are re-
garded as undesirable, and it is no
longer considered respectable to drink |
