MRS. COFFIN AGAIN DIVORCED
For Third Time Tires of Welded Life
With Same Man.

For Third Time Tires of Welded Life
With Same Man.
Great surprise was manifested here
today when it became known that
Judge David H. F1ett, of the Municipal
court, of Racine, had granted di-
vorce to Mrs. Grace Walker Coffin from
her husband, Frank Nixon Coffin, on
grounds of drunkenness and cruel and
inhuman treatment. The decree was
granted last Saturday, but kept quiet.
Attorney Wallace ingalls, was the at
torney for Mrs. Coffin md Judge w. A.
Lemma, of Chicago, appeared for the
defendant, but offered no testimony
The court ordered that Mr.. Coffin pay
$50 per month alimony for support Of
the children. To this Judge Lemma
objected.
Mrs. Coffin was divorced from James
C. Walker at Waukesha early in Octo.
Der. Within forty-eight hours after
she had obtained a permit from the
Wisconsin courts to remarry she mar
ried Mr.. Coffin.
It is understood that her reason for
remarrying was for the purpose of
uniting the family, as they have two
children, IA and 10 years old, by the
first marriage. The claim is made
that after marrying on October 10 she
never lived with Coffin, leaving him
Immediately on account of his actions,
consequently the marriage was never
con sim m ted and Tl1dOa F1etf so held
in granting the divorce.
Mrs. Coffin is now sick in bed at her
home in Antioch, Ill. AS soon as able
she will leave for California to spend
the winter.

turn back, but Mrs. NOVEL; was made
of sterner stuff and travelled on un-
daunted toward Dawson City.
On her arrival at Dawson she de-
cided to earn her living as q dress
maker, and began to apply herself to
her old business in the new field. She
had not been long there, however,
when she heard that Joseph Beck, a
wealthy mine owner, was in need of a
bookkeeper. She secured the posi-
ton. Entering the Office, she applied
the same energy that had character
lied her as a dressmaker.
The eyes of Mr.. Beck were not
closed to all this. Her character and
disposition had won his heart, and he
saw in her now not only the elements
which make loving wife but those
of splendid partner. So, after q
short courtship he proposed, was &C.
cepted, and the two returned to San
Francisco in the fall of 1898, where
they were married.
After the wedding Mr.. Beck, with
his wife and stepson, Walter S. Now
ell, returned to Dawson, where, by ju-
dicious investments. Beck increased
his fortune until to-day he is one OF
the richest men in the gold fields. H

which he sold at high price, and
bought up claim No. II on uold Run,
for which he was offered 100000. AT
present Mr.. and Mrs. Beck own q

pect a great income from their new
digging"
Mrs. Beck recently visited in San
Francisco, returning to Dawson Feb
ruary IS. She took sleighs at White
Horse and travelled 400 miles in the
severest season of the year back to
her husband ana son in the capital OF
the gold fields.
Mrs. Beck's recent trip was for the
purpose of buying country place
for herself and husband, who intends
selling out in about two years and
again becoming resident of Califor-
MIA. Mrs. Beck bought a large tract
of 1000 acres of land near Red bluff,
which will be conducted as stock
range, a large number of cattle al
ready having been bought.
On the return of the Becks they
will occupy a palatial residence in
course of construction at Red Bluff.
Mrs. Beck has over $4,000 worth OF
gold nuggets made into necklaces
and bracelets as souvenirs from the
Old Dominion CAIN.

the Shining Glass In . Victim OF
Misplaced Confidence.

Ones reflection in mirror never
does one justice. Comfortable thought
for the plain and pretty alike! Com
plexlon, expression and color are all
really better than the shining glass
makes them appear. Let not her to
whom nature has been sparing of her
charms despair. If she would see
herself in the deceptive mirror as
others see her with the eye, or as near
w as possible, let her hasten to

soft. pure white material-gauze, If
possible; if not, swiss or india muslin
will answer very well.
Be sure to have it pure white, and,
after polishing the surface of the mir
ror, gather the material at the center
of the top and bring it down softly at
either side, framing the glass in folds
of pure white. When this is done to
artistic satisfaction, peep in and see
what a transformation, suggests an
exchange. The true tints of the COM
plexion, the expression of the coun-
tenance and the eyes, the correct color
of the hair will be very accurately re-
Elected. This is one % the mil'iner's
oldest secrets. Many of the most art
full of them drape the glasses in the
softest drapery of pure white. 1t is
done with the view of giving their fair
patronesses the best view of thehs-
selves possible, administering in this
way little subtle flattery.

A little boy, scarcely more than .
baby, living at Roxbury, Mass, has
succeeded in tanning fierce St. Ber-
nard dog that has been terror in the
neighborhood for more than . year
past. Grown people could do moth
ing with the animal. He was savage at
all times and used to attack the chill
dren as they were passing his masters
house. Mr.. Miller, who owned the
great brute, tried to get rid of him.
but could not, for as often ~ he was
given away he came back to the house
where he was not welcome.
At last the fierce nature of this dog
has been changed and it was little
babe who conquered it. He was
brought over to Roxbury by Mr..
Haue-, to whom Mr.. Miller gave him,
muzzled. He did not make friends
with his new master or mistress, but
was more ferocious than ever.
Even Mr.. Hauer thought him now to
be mad. The dog was unmuzzled and
pushed into a room in the garnet.

SOME BEAUTY HINTS.
nal Ethicsj or How Rot to
Wash the Face"

There are three dont's involved In
the first lesson in face washing: 1.
Don't use sponge. 2. Don't use q
crash wash-cloth. And the third and
greatest of these is: Don't use very
cold water. The first because it is
almost constantly wet, is full of germs
insidiously poisonous to the skin. The
second irritates and is not perme tive
enough to cleanse thoroughly. Keep
your washcloth for the soles of your
feet, if you must use one, for tradi-
tons sake. Cold water shocks the
skin and roughens it by closing the
pores.
The face should be washed in tepid
water if one is going Immediately out,
and at other times in water as hot
as one can stand it. Hot water ID
stimulating and cleansing. Bathing
the face in it will remove the lines
from a tired woman's face as effec-
tually as half-hour's sleep.
Rub the face with antisept:c gauze
"a fresh piece frequently-and if
blackhead's exist, a fine camel's hair
complexion-brush used vigorously
with some pure vegetable soap every
night will do great deal toward rout'
ing them. In washing the face always
rub from the chin up, from the eyes
in and from the forehead toward the
temples. The face should be washed
with soap at night only, then rubbed
with q pure cold cream or some lano'
line preparation. This little attention
given to the face every night is abso'
lutely essential to a clean skin and
healthy pores.
Hot milk is an excellent tonic for
the face and continued application OF
it will render the skin as smooth and
velvety as baby's cheek. In the
morning immense the face in warm
water to which have been added few
drops of benzoin. Dry the face with
q soft linen towel. Don't rub. Just

with it if you will use intelligence and

HOW FISHES BREATHE.
They Need Very Little Oxygen to
Keep the Blood Warm Enough
to Sustain Life.

The gills of fish are situated at
the back part of the sides of the
head, and consist of a number Of
vascular membranes, which are gen.
orally in double, fringe-like rows,
fixed by the base only; sometimes
these are featherlike, and sometimes
they are mere folds of membrane at
tached at each end over the gill cavi-
ties. In general, there are four gills
on each side, though in some fish
there IRE more. In fishes that have
bones the gills are attached to the
outer edge of bony arches connect
ed with the bone of the tongue and
with the base of the skull, the con-
nection at each end being by inter-
vening small bones, while the cavi-
ty containing the gills on each side
of the head is covered by bony
plate with two subordinate pieces.
1t Is by the movement of these bony
plates that the water is expelled
which is taken in through the mouth.
and which, after passing among the
gills and supplying them with air,
passes out by the gill openings Mt the
back of the head.
The fish is a cold-blooded animal
that is, it's temperature is very slight
" above that of the water in which
it lives, and it therefore needs but
little oxygen to keep the blood warm
enough to sustain it's life.
This oxygen, supplied to the blood
by the gills in respiration, is not OBJ
tanned by decomposing the water, but
by separating the air from it. 1t is.
therefore, necessary that the water
in which fish live should be supplied
with air, and this is one of the di-
rect benefits of the agitation OF
oceans and lakes by winds.
Fishes confined in aquariums often
die for this very reason-because the
water is not aerated. They consume
all the oxygen in the closed vessel in
which they arc placed. and no more
being supplied, they die, and may be
said to be drowned, because they per-
ish from the same cause that occa-
sions death by drowning i'll lung
breathing animals-that is, want OF
