BEAUTIFUL CoMPLExIoNs.

Are spoiled by using any kind of
preparation that fills the pores OF the
skin. The best way to secure a
clear complexion, free from sallow-
ness, pimples, blotches, etc, is to
keep the liver in good order. An
occasional dose of Herbine will cleanse
the bowels, regulate the liver, and so
establish a clear, healthy complexion.

said the FilipinOs made theiI best fight
on the 9th Of February, 1893 he de-
MED that i'm subsequent battles they
were slaughtered. but many were killed
when cornered, and continued to fight
when they should surrender.
A number of questions were asked
by Senator Dubois on points covered
by the Philippine government bill. now
pending in the committee. In reply TO
these General Hughes said that he
thought that white labor would be a
total failure in the Philippines, and
that other labor would be necessary
there. The natives are, he said. ply
sIcally weak and lazy, and the Witress
thought the only resort would be TO
continue to import Chinese and Japan
csc labor. for the present. at least.
General Hughes also expressed the
opinion that il would be Well TO enc0ur-
age negro emigration to The Philippines
from the United States. He added
that COloTed troops taken 20 Samar
mixed readily VITA the natives, and
that many of the latter shed tears
when the colored troops were re-
moved Next to the American negro,

able The Chinese laborel was the
most availa BILE. but there was a preju-
dice against them on the part of the

said it is composed largely of English

Where the Hen Nestled.

rats on my bed. all struggling to reach
my boots. which 7 had taken the pre-
caution to hang from d peg on the
wall, knowing how much Russian
leather is appreciated by the rodent
tribe. Sleep was impossible with the
enemy on all sides for the rats not

hunting under my pillow for a frag-
ment of candle and a box of matches
which | thought might be safe from

floor. Then my blood was DIP. and 7

THE FORCE OF VIBRATION.
An Architect Tells Why a Fiddle
Can Shake a Great Building.
INDIANAPOLIS News1

What force least expected does the
greatest damage to buildings a News
representative asked a well known archi-
-cc.
1T is difficult to tell. but I will ven
tUre to say that you would never expect
violin playing 10 injUre the walls of a
building Yet that is certainly the case
There have been instances when the
walls of stone and brick structures have
been seriously impaired by the vibrations
from a violin. OF course these cases are
unusual, but the facts arr established.
The vibration of a violin are something
terrible IN their unseen, unbound force,
and when they come in contact with reg
ularity they bear their influence upOn
structures OF stone, brick or iron. OF
course 1t takes continuous playing for
many years to loosen masonry or to make
iron brittle. but that result Is obtained
In the great Masonic temple in Chicago
7 have thought Of what the result might
be If a man would stand on the first
floor, al the bottom Of the nineteen story
light well. and play there continuously.
The result could be more easily seen
there than almost any place else, because
the vibration gathers force as il sweeps
upward. A man can feel the vibrations
of a violin on an iTOn-Ciad ocean vessel.
and at the same time be unable to hear
The music. tt is the regularity OF the Vi
brations which means so much. Like the
constant dropping of water wearing away
a stone, the incessant vibration of the
violin makes its way TO the walls, and
attacks their sOlidity."
But why doesn't this vibration affect
the player2'
Because Il man is flexible object. He
can give way to motion and resume his
place again. A frame building would not
be damaged by vibration, because the
timbeTs are flexible But it is different
with masonry.
you NAV have noticed that a dog
crossing the room Will shake the entire
building. no matter how small the dos. A
dog can shake a suspension bridge. There
are some great and valuable bridges
which dogs are never allowed to cross,
except when carried. You see, in that
case. il is the regularity of the vibration
that is so powerful The dogs movement
is a fixed and positive institution. The
first step on the bridge is rot noticed so
much. but every step comes just alike, at
the same interval. and with the same
firmness. The force gathers momentum,
and each step makes the bridge sway
more. But there is another way that it
may perhaps. be illustrated better. As
YOU sit there raise one foot partially on
tiD-toe That's il. Now work YOUR knee
up and down rapidly and regularly. See
how everything in the room Tattles and
the floor shakes? That illustrates the dog
steps power better than anything else
You and I and ali our friends could not
jump up and down in this room and shake
the floor as you have Just shaken il while
sitting down and using only the force OF
one leg. II is the regularity Of the vibra-
tion which is powerful
