True. modern methods of preparing it are used. il is now made in one of the finest Laboratories in the world, but In all es- sentIaIs it is precisely the same as when first made by Dr. Harter nearly half century ago How many other remedies have grown in favor, or even survived, for that length of time?

 There are thick under lips that hang so that they become almost disnSure- ment, and these, as well as looking ugly, denote indolence and love Of luxury if is not desirable to have pronounced thin lips, for when the outline of the lips is narrow and united to mouth with sinister expression, there Is indicated great deficiency of natural Kindness Tn their owner, a want of warmth, ana but little capacity to love. We'll defined and developed lips, the outlines of which are rounded out, are admired for tneir neau- ty and moral worth, being. as they are, tokens of a tender-hearted, amiable, and sympathetic disposition.

THE GREAT DECLARATION.

Washington Special to St. Louis Globe
 Democrat.
 The famous Declaration of Independ- ence is no more. The stirring text and the sigma atures of the members of the Continental Congress have faded away. This precious document Is preserved in d cabinet in the State Department libra ry, but it is now practically nothing more than a large sheet of parchment on which no legible writing appears Part of the words Declaration of Independ- ence.' which were written in large let ters with many ornamental 1ourishes, are decipherable. but not a signature Is visible 60 the naked eye One hardly discernible stroke of John Hancock s pen is all that remains of his bold and vigorous autograph.
 Jefferson's original draft of the Declar- alton, with insertions in the handwriting of Franklin and John Adams is still ex posed to public view in the same case where the formal document was former ly on exhibition Strangely enough, tb~ ink on this draft has not faded. The writing is still as clear as 1t was l25 years ago, when Jefferson and the other members of the drafting committee wrote the words that bade defiance to the Brit ish crown. The original of the Constitu- tion of the United States is preserved In the same case with the Declaration. The signatures of George Washington and the other members of the Constitutional Convention are as clear as If they had been just written.

He settled in Virginia, at 'Ripon Hall, York County: was Attorney Gen. eral of the Colony 16S0-92, etc.; member of the Council from 1884; President of that body and acting Governor from June, 17o6. to August, 1710; Secretary of State, reviser of laws, etc. He married Frances. daughter of Henry Corbin and had several children, among them Frances. who married Charles Grymes of Richmond County, and was an ancestress of Gen. K. E. Lee; Elizabeth who mar ried Robert Porteous, of Gloucester Coun- ty, and was mother of Beilby Porteous, Bishop of London: and son, Edmund. who was a prominent man in Maryland and who was grandfather of Edmund Randolph"
 This is the Jennings described in Query -. But it is evident that several generations are between him and Mrs. Duncan. the great-grandmother of M. C. K.
