HOW TO USE GLYCERIN.
Uuless Mixed with an Equal Part
of Water 1t Is Absolutely
Injurious to the Skin.

Since so many people use pure glyc-
erin for the skin word of caution
seems necessary.
If you apply little glycerin to the
tip of the tongue you will find that, al.
though it has a pleasant sweet taste,
the first sensation that is felt is one
Of pain and burning. This is caused
by the fact that glycerin has a strong
affinity for water, and that it absorbs
all the moisture from the surface
which it touches, thus drying up and
parching the nerves.
Ignorant of this fact, nurses and
mothers have applied pure glycerin to
the chafed skin of infants, producing
often great pain. The glycerin ought
to have been first mixed with an equal
bulk of water. This being done, it may
be applied to the most tender surfaces
without producing injury, and, as it
does not dry up, virtually maintains
the part in a constantly moist condi.
ton, excluding the air and promoting
the health process.
Rose water is most frequently used.
and benzoin is an excellent addition

another story told long, long ago
agout Pace, the jester to Queen Eliza
beth. That post was not pleasant
one, and Pace, who was, like most
court and other testers, inclined to
be personal, at last had to be for
hidden the royal presence. After he
had been for some time absent a few
of his friends entreated the queen to
take him again into her favor and
engaged that thereafter his discourse
should be more guarded. But the
very first time the queen saw Pace
matters were as bad as ever. "Ah,
now, Pace" said Elizabeth, gracious
ly, come, we shall hear our faults"
mo, madame" replied the jester,
guardedly, 81 never talk of what is
discoursed by all the world"

BRUSHING THE SKIN.
Eminent Medical and ID rma toIOgical
Authorities Call Friction an
Aid to Beauty.

The skin should be thoroughly
cleansed once day. Have the room
warm, and the water only a few de-
grees cooler. Stay in the bath five
minutes, keeping yourself either I'M
der water or pouring wet all the
time. But it is after you leave the
tub that the really important part
of the bath begins.
Dry yourself thoroughly with two
towels, then take a stiff flesh brush
and try with all your might to rub
your skin off. A cocoanut fiber brush
is the best, and to get at your back
it is good plan to have a cocoanut
fiber mat hung against the wall to
rub yourself against. Keep up this
friction for at least ten minutes. You
could not invest the same amount of
time more usefully. There is moth
ing like this to relieve the internal
organs from undue heat and conges-
ton of the blood, and to free the
lungs from oppression. Moreover, it
actually increases the size of the mus
Giles and makes them frmer by caus-
ing the blood to circulate more Wig
orously in them. AS to it's effect
upon the elasticity and beauty of the
skin itself, that will be obvious
enough at glance. 1t is the brush
that furnishes the only true bloom
of youth. But the morning bath and
rubbing down alone are not sufficient.
If during the day you get into a per-
spiration, do not allow the moisture
to dry on the skin. Never come in
from a walk or horseback ride or
row and sit down as you are. Go
to your room, take off everything
and use the brush. 1t may seem in
convenient at first, but when it is
done you will rejoice and soon it will
become matter of course to you.
This friction after exercise is of
great Importance; so much so that ID
may be affirmed that three-fourths
of the benefit of any exercise is lost
without it. If you foresee that it
will be impossible, after your exer-
else, to take a rub down, then it will
often be better to choose the rub
down than the eXercise.-St. Louis Re-
public.

CARRIAGES FOR BABY.

Nothing is too good for his infantile
highness of 1901, in proof of which it
will be necessary to mention the splen-

the old days when babies were sup

means did every baby IN the block

his own turnout.

INTO THE VAST FOREVER.

What may we carry to the vast forever?
The mystic stair
Admits not gold. nor whatsoever
OF pomp or pride we wear
These pass not there.
Nor NAV we take within the sacred portal
Our books and art.
Into the life immortal
No idol of the heart;
With these we part.
Ne may not carry to the land supernal
Our boosted creeds.
These drop and disappear like blossoms,
And all our deeds
Are poor as weeds.
But character and conscience shall attend
The genial flow
OF sympathiZing hearts, and sense stupen-
dous
OF happiness or woe
Shall with us go.
For charity's fair form has ever parted
The pearly door
For all the sanctified and holy-hearted
1T spreads the golden floor,
For evermore!
Upward from the vast forever
Naked we come.
Lord, clothe US with Thy robe, that We
may never
Pc put to fear or shame,
Who own Thy name.
ASK we the Pleiades or grand Orion
To lend a ray?
While journeying to the hill of Zion
Thou art the light, the way,
Nor need we stray.
From Thee the glory of the life eternal
Forever beamsi
With Thee our days shall glide in joy SUI

Beyond these fading dreams
These failing streams.

AS a result of the changeable eli
mate, catarrh has become one of the
most prevalent and universal diseases
known to man. Nearly one-third of
the people of the United States are
afflicted with catarrh in some of it's
many phases and stages. Add to this
the fact that catarrlf rapidly tends to
become fixed or chronic, also the fur
Their fact that it is capable of producing
great many other diseases, and we
begin to realize the true nature of ehis
dread disease.
So formidable has catarrh become
that in every city or town of any size
numerous doctors are to be found who
make tie treatment of catarrh spe-
cialty. OF course a great deal of good
is accomplished in this way, but as
yet a comparatively small number of
the people can avail themselves of this
treatment because of the great expense
necessarily attached to it.

To all such people DR.. Hartman's
remedy, Peruna, comes as great boon.
Not only Is it more successful in cur
ing catarrh than the treatment of the
catarrh specialists, but it is within the
reach of every person in this land.
Peruna can be bought at any drug store,
and is remedy without equal for
catarrh in all forms, coughs, colds, bron-
chitis, consumption, and all climatic
diseases of winter.
Peruna is not a guess, nor an expert
ment; it is an absolute, scientific GER
tainty. Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located. Peruna has no substitutes
no rivals. Insist upon having Peltna.
Let no one persuade you that some 9TH
er remedy will do nearly as well. There
is no other systemic remedy for catarrh
but Peruna.

HEART DISEASE
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid In
crease Of Heart Trouble.

Heart trouble, at least among the Ameri-
cans, is certainly increasing. and while
this may be largely due to the excitement
and worry of American business life, it is
more often the result of weak stomachS,
of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is inCurable: BUT
not one case in a hundred Of heart trouble
is organic
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by the same great nerves,
the Sympathetic and PneumOgastric
In another way also the heart is af-
fected by the form of poor digestion
which causes gas and fermentation from
half digested food. There is a feeling of
oppression and heayinessr ia the chest
caused by pressure of the distended stom-
ach the heart and lungs, interfering
with their action; hence arises palpitation
and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood.
making it thin and watery, which irritateS
and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is to improve the digestion and to
insure the prompt assimilation OF food
This can be done by the regular use
after meals of some safe, pleasant, and
effective digestive preparation, IKE
StuartS Dyspepsia Tablets which may
be found at most drug stores, and which

In the morning Damari was passing Can

was heard, and Damari dropped 10 the
ground When the crowd which the re-

the fallen man, he was dead with a rag
geo gunshot wound over the heart a
subsequent examination showed that a
number of buckshot fired at close range
had penetrated the heart
An examination OF Cappece's premises
also disclosed that the murderer had
posted himself in the cellar under the

removed from the cellar window
The police also found a gun in the Cap
