TALK ABOUT FRECKLES.
The Lenst Offensive of All Skin BIem-
ishes, Hut the Most Obstinate
to Eradicate.

The fact that freckles are the usual
penalty exacted by nature for the
bestowal of delicate complexion in
no way compensates any daughter of
| Eve for their unwelcome presence.
| The poet may call them "the kisses Of
Apollo" but she prefers to dispense
with the attentions of the sun god.
Probably the least offensive and dis
figuring Of all skin blemishes, they
are the most obstinate to remove.
Dermatologists have tried in vain to
compound remedy which should be
a permanent cure. 1t has yet to be
found. True, they may be faded, even
removed in many eases, after persist
ent treatment, but with the advent of
the warm spring days and summer
winds they are very apt to reappear.
The summer girl inclined to freckle
who yet justly refuses to be housed
when sun, sky and sea WOO her, has
on hand a perpetual problem.
Freckles are divided into two classes,
cold or constitutional freckles, and
summer or light freckles. The latter
fade gradually, or yield for a time, at
least, TO mild lotions. The former re-
quire almost heroic treatment, which
then frequently brings disappoint-
ment. 1t is impossible truthfully to
guarantee" a freckle cure. The very
situation of the freckle-below the
surface-offers an obstacle. One diff
ficulty in the way of their removal lies
in the wide difference in the texture
of different skins. A freckle lotion
that will have no effect upon ones COM
plexion will irritate and blister that Of
another.
The chief ingredient which enters
into many freckle lotions is acid. An
acid will bleach the spots when it
reaches them. 1t must usually have
something to draw them nearer to the
surface. Ordinary massage of the
face will do this gradually, and, by
promoting the activity of the skin,
In a manner prevent the small deposits
OF iron. Good facial circulation is a
foe TO most facial blemishes. The COM
moncst acid and the most effective is
lemon juice. pure or diluted. as the skin
dictates.-Ledger Monthly.

lNCOMPLETENESS.

Nothing resting I'm its own completenes:
Can have worth or beauty: but alone
Because II leads and tends to farther
sweetness.
Fuller higher. deeper than It's own.
Springs real glory dwells not in the morn
ing.
Gracious though 1t be. Of her blue hours
But is hidden In her tender leaning
10 the summers richer wealth OF flowers.
Dawn is fair. because the mists fade slowly
Into day. which floods the world with
light,
Twilights mystery Is so sweet and holy
just because 1t ends In starry night.
Childhood's smilss unconscious graces bor-
row
From strife that in a far-off future lies;
And angel glances (veiled now by life's
sorrOw)
Draw our hearts to some beloved eyes
Life Is only bright when It proceedeth
Toward truer. deeper life above;
Human love is sweetest when II leadeth
To more divine and perfect love.
Learn the mystery OF progression duly;
DO not call each glorious change decay;
But know We only hold our treasures truly.
When 1t seems as If they passed away.
Nor dare to blame Gods gifts for ncom-
pleteness:
In that want their beauty lies: they roll
Toward some Infinite depth Of love and
sweetness.
Bearing onward mans reluctant soul.

cook, "he and Miss Julia thought lots

81 thought she was engaged to Mr.
Green" faltered Miss Scroggs.
"Pshaw! not a bit of it," said the
cook. "She don't care for him"
Miss Scroggs was horror-stricken
She fled to her room. What shall
do?" she walled.
She did not appear for tea. She was
trying to make plan to get herself
out of her dilemma.
That evening Mr.. Green called upon
Julia. Her Indignation over the sup
posed double dealing of Philip led her
to give her caller a more gracious re-
ception than usual Encouraged by
her manner, he proposed and was ac-
tepted.
Not only did she consent to marry
him, but in response to his pleading
the wedding day was fixed for the
week following. The morning after,
she said to her seamstress:
81 wish. Miss Scroggs, that you
would put in all the time possible on
your work, for am to be married in
ten days"
Miss Scroggs, frightened, almost
screamed: "ls Phil coming home so
soon?" and dropped her work in de-
spair.
"What?" said Julia, severely.
"Oh. Miss Logan" moaned Miss
Scroggs, 81 am such a miserable sim
ner, such a willful liar. am not en-
gagged 10 Phil-we are just friends. l
have known him since he was little
boy, and l like him so much. The re-
port of his death was such a shock to
me that was almost crazy, and l told
you that horrible story. / did not
know that you knew him. Forgive me,
please do" and the wretched woman
fell on her knees at Julia's feet.
A great food of JOY overfowed Ju-
lia's heart. Phil was true after all.
She did not stop to inquire why Miss
Scroggs had played such a part. She
realized only that Phil was her Phil
after all
Forgive you? OF course do" she
said, embracing the suppliant. 81 do
not wonder that Phil's supposed death
should have crazed you, when you had
known him all his life. Dry your tears,
my dear, and let us go to work on these
gowns"
She sent a message to Phil that day
and had a painful interview with Mr..
Green that evening, and then she had
to look for another seamstress, for
Miss Scroggs told her she must go
home to rest her shattered nerves.

FARMVlLE FAR FOR NEW CENTURY, OCTOBER 23 e. 1901

The remarks against kissing attrib-
uted TO Prof. Crook, of Chicago.
To Kiss or Not TO prompted mer-
chant Of Mount
Hope. Kan. TO
form an anti-kissing league. \ doz-
EN- married men were persuaded to
become members. The wife of the
secretary of the league has revolted
and is suing for a divorce, after three
weeks without kissing. The mer-
chant boasts that he has not kissed
his wife in many years, maintaining
that il is unmanly. The pledge one
has TO take to join the league is that
he will kiss no woman, no matter If
Ii is his wife. kissing is for women
only-the weaker SEX" the merchant
says. kissing is a weak manner OF
showing affection. We love our wives
more than those men who are all the
time kissing them every time they
leave the house. Some wives may
object, but that will not induce us to
desert the cause. My wife is in favor
of the plan and looks at it in the
same manner as l do" If that sort
of thing goes on the divorce laws will
have to be modified instead Of being
made more stringent. The man who
won't kiss his wife is a brute and will
bear watching, remarks the Troy On.
W Times, and the law ought to give
the wife a separation from him on
general principles.

After wrestling with his conscience
for 35 years resident of Waukegan
ILL.,, has settled tailor's bill. +. II
Lindsay, of Waukegan, who succeeded
to his fathers business some years
ago, is the recipient of the money. The
other day he received letter inclosing
$24 in currency. The writer said that
he owed this amount TO the elder Lind
say, long since dead, and that his con-
science troubled him so that he could
not rest until the debt was paid. The
debt was incurred in 1866, the writer
said. and he asked that the sum be di-
yided amon5- the Lindsay heirs. There
was no signature to the letter, the
writer stating that acknowledgment
of payment in a local paper would be
recognized as receipt in full.

Men of education ought to give the
benefit of their erudition to the set
Ting of questions which affect the in
terests of all their fellow citizens,
charitably observes the Kansas City
Times. Other things being equal, the
educated man has broader range Of
vision than has his uneducated broth
er. The trouble seems to be that the
scholars have a love for quiet which
makes them withdraw themselves
from the strenuous life" and bury
themselves in their libraries among
their books. Their right to do this
is questioned. They ought not to wrap
in a napkin and lay away the talent
given them, but should put it into cir
culation that it might bless others,
and, by reflex, prove the source Of
great pleasure to themselves.

ufacturer who was accidentally
locked in his shop by the janitor the

the manufacturer shouted till he at
tracted attention, and then waited
till the fire department brought a
ladder and took him down.
