FOREST RESERVATIONS.
Their Establishment by Coneres
Should Be Advocated by Every
Patriotic American.

= Ray Stannard Baker, writing in the
Century on irrigation, speaks thus OF
the progress in western sentiment III
the matter of forest-preservatio ana
of the need of making more reserves:
Another scheme of the westerner for
conserving the water-supply has borne
rich fruit in the last few years. 1t IS
a well-known fact that there is no bet
ter conservator of water than forest
with thick under-growing vegetation.
The ground is protected, and the vege-
tation holds back and regulates the
water which falls in rain. Nearly all
of the high plateaus and mountain
ranges of the west, where the rainfall
and snowfall are greatest, and where
all the great rivers have their source.
are covered more or less densely with
vegetation, often with manitcent for
ests, hundreds, even thousands, OF
years old. If it were not for these for
ests, all the water that fell would run
swiftly into the valleys, the streams
would rise to floods, and in few days
time the channels would be dry again.
This is actually what now happens in
many valleys of the west-great tor
rents for two or three weeks in the
year, absolute drought all the remain
der of the time. 1t is, therefore, OF
vital Importance that these forests be
preserved. The westerner, led by wise
scientists, has taken up the matter. and
by good fortune the government at
Washington has been aroused TO the
necessities of the case, and forest re-
serves and national parks have been
created, which will not only go down
to future generations as the most
notable places of natural beauty on
the continent, but they will preserve
life and bring happiness to the valleys
below. But the work is yet only half
done. More forests must be reserved,
and more care be given to protecting
them from lawless miners and lum-
bermen. By the judicious cutting Of
the older trees and the removal of
windfa!ls and waste, which mi ght give
food for fires, they can be made
source Of lumber for a thousand years
to come, and that without iljuring
| their usefulness as water-conserva-
tors. But if private greed is allowed to
dictate, these splendid forest areas
will be left the most desolate of
| deserts. like those of northern Wiscon-
sin and Michigan-deseris which are
far worse than the cactus plains OF
New Mexico and Arizona.

Married in q Lions Den.

A wedding took place in a lions den
at Reading, Pa, during the progress of
the great elks' carnival. The high
contracting parties were Capt. Delan.
cier, African explorer, and Miss Malka
Williams. The den-the lions were
mild ones-was moved into the center
of the midway, and the bride and BRIDE
groom entered the cage. Several thou
sand people gathered to witness the
ceremony. Rev. George w. Brown.
back was the officiating clergyman,
but he did not enter the den. He stood
comfortably and safely outside the
bars, and did all that was required
from that vantage point. It was al.
over in five minutes and the welded
couple moved into safety.

LATEST CHICAGO FAD.
1t IL Called the Dew Bath and Its De,
voices Claim That 1t Improves
the Complexion.

Chicago has new fad which for
genuine novelty and originality seems
likely to stand unrivaled in little
class of it's own for some time to come.
In years gone by Chicago has imported
most of it's really successful fads from
the east and across the Atlantic, but
this one grew and blossomed on ma
tive Illinois soil and as soon as society
gives it vogue it is sure to leap into in
Simultaneous popularity, for society's
approval is all that is necessary to the
success of fad.
This absolutely new thing in fads is
the morning dew bath for the COM
plexion and it threatens to outclass
even the beauty doctors themselves.
Some morning, if you happen to be up
in time to commune with the sun as il
slips up across the lake, and, looking
over your back fence you behold a wom-
ar, young or old, kneeling in the center
of grass plot with her face in close
proximity to the earth, don't call the
police. This is the fad. AS a COM
plexion producer it is said to surpass
anything in the squeeze line yet intro
duced, and the best thing about the new
complexion producer is that it is cas-
lily within the reach of every woman,
who can find grass plot large enough
to envelop her face.
These morning dew ba tbs for the COM
plexion were something of secret IN
til recently. The idea was such a cap
ital and original one that those who
made the unique discovery that green
grass, freshened by morning dew, con-
tains the skin invigorating ingredients
for which the beauty doctors charge
money, held their tongue with consid-
cradle persistency. But the truth
leaked out down in Elgin, Ill. Miss
Evangeline Brush, young woman re-
siding in that place, has enjoyed some
local fame on account of the beauty
of her complexion. Indeed, she has
been the envy of her friends on account
of this supposedly rich gift of nature.
The expose, however, came one morn
Ing not long ago, when neighbor arose

FOR DAIRY BUILDINGS.
Formula for Wash That Can Be Ap'
piled to Lime Walls and Be-
comes Waterproof.

In German periodical appears a
formula for a wash which can be aD-
piled to lime walls and afterward be-
come waterproof so as to bear wash
ing. Resenchek, of Munich, mixes to-
gether the powder from three parts
siliceous rock (quartz), three parts
broken marble and sandstone, also
two parts of burned porcelain clay,
with two parts freshly slaked lime,
still warm. In this way wash is
made which forms a silicate if often
wetted and becomes after time al
most like stone. The four constitu-
ents mixed together give the ground
color, to which any pigment that can
be used with lime is added. 1t is
applied quite thickly to the wall or
other surface, and left to dry one
day, and the next day is frequently
covered with water, which makes it
waterproof. This wash can be
cleansed with water without losing
any of it's color; on the contrary,
each time it gets harder, so that it
can even be brushed, while it's porosi-
ty makes it look soft. The wash or
calcimine can be used for ordinary
purposes as well as for the finest
painting. A so-called fresco surface
can be prepared with it in the dry
way. For a useful lime wash for
wood and stone, the following is a
good preparation: Twenty quarts
quiclllime are slaked in suitable
vessel with as much hot water as
will stand at a level of six inches
above the lime. The milk of lime is
diluted, and first Is grains of sui
phate of zinc and then seven grains
Of common salt are added. The lat
ter causes the lime wash to harden
without cracking. A beautiful cream
color can be impaired to the mass
by putting into it seven grains of
yellow ochre, or pearly tint by the
addition of some lampblack. A fawn
color is produced by two grains of
lumber and seven grains of lamp
black. A stone color can be obtained
from 80 grains of lumber and seven
grain of lampblack. The color is ap-
piled, as usual, with brush.

TAKING A DEW BATH.

early to catch train out of Elgin. He
lives next door to the Brusk home, and
as he was passing down the back steps
he was considerably surprised to see
the young woman crouching on the
lawn and gesticulating in unseemly
fashion as though saluting the sun.
She would run her hands across the
grass, and then bury her face in them
nd go through all the motions of wash
ing. It was a new one on the Elgin
nan, because he wasn't up in dew baths.
His curiosity was aroused to the point
of Investigation, so he crossed the lawn
noiselessly and, walking up behind the
iltently occupied young woman, he
surprised her with question.
Such interruption was objectionable
Without replying, the young woman
jumped to her feet and fled to the
house. But this was enough, for it
was in reality. the beginning of this new
beauty fad, which seems likely to Guido
anything in the way of novelty for
women's faces that ever has been i'm
ported even from Paris, New York or
London.
There really is nothing to the dew
complexion bath but dew and grass.
yet in addition to it's complexion-giy
ing properties the early morning con-
tact with nature is said to be exhilar-
ating. In the first place, to derive the
full benefits a young woman must be
up and out before the world is astir.
as dew will not wait for Der to finish
a morning nap. This in itself is one
step in the direction of good com
plexion, and when dip in the cool.
refreshing grass is taken into consid-
Grafton along with this first natural
consequence, it appears that there is
more to the dew bath than is evident.
But it isn't big hit with the beauty
doctors and complexion specialists.
Physicians, however, being less direct
1y interested in the abstract question
of complexion, are non-committal.
II wouldn't like to commit myself
for fear of mourning the ill-win of the
women" said one doctor. IF some
young woman has found that dew
bath in the early morning air improved
her complexion she ought to know
what she is talking about. At least T
wouldn't care to contradict her with
out first having given myself over to
an investigation. Grass naturally alb
serbs, through it's roots, many of the
natural properties of the earth. And.
as every one knows, dew falls on grass.
so it may be that there is something
beneficial in this combination. Who
knows? I, for one, wouldn't like to
say Chicago Tribune.

SELF-CULTURE AND SUCCESS,
One May BE a Millionaire and Yet Be
Ignorant of Books, Art and
Culture.

A man does not need a college edu-
cation in order to succeed in any ordi-
nary business. You may reach COM
handing position in the commercial
or political world without attaining
a high degree of scholarship. You
may be successful, in the purely ma
terial meaning of the word, without
touch of higher culture, without an
appreciation of the nobler things of
life. You may be millionaire, with
great influence in your community,
and yet be almost wholly ignorant of
books, art, music, or travel, writes o.
S. Marden, in Success.
But this is very narrow view of
success. Is the meaning of life not
broadened and beautified by an ex-
pansive mind, a wider horizon, and the
satisfaction of finer culture.
The glory of sunset, the beauty of
landscape, or the delicate loneliness
of rose or lily is not necessary to
our mere animal existence, but it adds
much to the sum of the highest things
of life.
Pictures and draperies are not neces-
sary to wall, oriental rugs to floor,
or delicate pieces of sta tuary and brio
a-brac to the furniture of a room;
libraries lined with noble books are
not absolutely essential to bare ex-
istence; knowledge of the mysteries
and beauties of science, the fascina-
ton of literature, the delights of
music and art-none of these things
is necessary to the support of life;
but how barren life would be without
them! If we were suddenly deprived
of these things, what could we substi-
tute for them to differentiate our
lives from those of animals?

Cleanliness in the Dairy.

Every man, woman and child who

butter making, from cow to package,

some things in slovenly manner and
yet succeed fairly well. This is not
true in butter making. Every pail,

worker must be scrupulously free

TO WASHCALIC0ES.
Some Timely Pointers on How to Set
the ColOrs and How to Brighten
the HueS.

Calicoes, before they are put In
water, should have the grease spots
rubbed out as they cannot be seen
when the garment is wet. They
should not be washed in very hot
suds, mildly warm water will do even
better and will not extract the, col
ors. Soft soap should never be Used
for calicoes excepting for the various
buff and yellow goods. The majority
of calicoes should be rinsed in fair
water and dried in the shade. Pale
pink and pale blue would be bleached
to white if left in the sun to dry.
Colors can be set by washing the
goods in lukewarm water with beef's
gall in the proportion of a teacup-
full to four gallons of water. Rinse
in rain water-no soap being neces-
sary unless the clothes are very
dirty. The beef's< gall can be kept
several months by squeezing it out
of the skin in which it is incased;
add salt, bottle it and cork tight.
Soap must never be rubbed on calico
or lawns; lukewarm soapsuds is used
for more soiled goods.
Black calicoes can be Numbered in
water in which potatoes have been
boiled. A family in mourning, where
several ladies wear sheer black
waists, orders all the water in which
potatoes have been boiled to be saved
to launder the black dresses, pure
cistern water serving for rinsing.
Potato water boiled down to con-
sistence stiffens black goods instead
OF starch, as the latter would show
in spots.
