For the Skin.

When the skin is put to it to perform
part of the work that should be done
by the liver, the kidneys or other or
gans, it must throw out it's signals of
distress in the form of sallowness,
roughness and pimples.
A young woman ashamed of her
complexion should try the effect of
drinking more water and eating less
candy, giving her digestive organs a
bath and a rest. Let her then treat the
face to an occasional thorough wash
ing in soft water, using one of the
good, mild soaps Of which there are
now so many offered. Let her also
breathe plenty of fresh air and then
watch the speedy improvement that
will come.
On the other hand, errors of diet
neglected bowels, insufficient bathing
and an unventilated bedroom would
dim the complexion of a dryad in a
week.

Disconcerting to the Judge.

1t was formerly considered a great
treat to hear Judge Barnard indulge in
his favorite habit of wittily chatting"
the lawyers and law clerks who at
tended his chamber to procure orders
One morning in a crowded court
room a small boy was noticed by the
quick eyed judge passing up papers in
contravention of the court rule which
was intended to preclude all but those
admitted to the bar from applying to
the court for orders.
When the judge took up the boys
papers, he said to him:
Sonny, are you admitted"
To the utter amazement of the judge
as well as of all others gathered in the
courtroom, the boy unhesitatingly and
confidently answered in his shrill, pip
ing voice, Eyes, SIR
"Who admitted your" said the judge
and as the boy innocently responded
turning toward the door and indicating
the doorkeeper with his finger, "That
gentleman at the door," the assembled
lawyers fairly screamed in their laugh
ter at the judges overthrow. - New

FROM JAIL TO AFFLuENcE.
Two Mem PardOned So as to Enable
Them to Enjoy Fortunes Which
Have Come to Them.

In order that he may return to
Germany and obtain a fortune of
$4,000, to which he recently fell heir,
and to which his right has been fully
established, Richard Bassler has been
pardoned by the New Jersey court of
pardons. Bassler was sentenced to
two years in state prison last fall, on
charge of burglary. The story of
the crime, as he related it to the
court of pardons, was that while in
toxicated he fell through store
window with no intention of stealing
Another prisoner sentenced for ten
years in 1896 on charge of breaking
into post office, was paroled in or
der that he might take up the manu-
facture of sewing machine invented
by him while behind the bars. A
company with an authorized capitali-
cation of $1,oOo,ooO has been char
tered to manufacture the machine.
The pardoned prisoner is said to have
received $4,000 cash and block of
stock in the new company.

A Hard Luck Tale with a sting.

1t was not a new hard luck tale to
the man to whom it was told. The
young man, neatly dressed and dapper
looking, was not out of work, had not
lost his purse, was not poverty strick-
en- at all, but he had come down from
Rye to go over to Newark and in
changing his clothes had forgotten to
transfer his pocketbook to the trousers
he put on.
81 hate to ask the favor of stran-
GER" the young man said, "but really
1t would save me much embarrassment
If you could let me have couple of
dollars until tomorrow"
'Indeed can't do it," said the man,
for he believed not a word of the tale,
and he left the disconsolate youth at
the postoffice and, meeting a friend,
invited him to luncheon and told him
Of his gentleman beggar."
When the waiter handed him check,
the two had agreed that the story was
highly improbable, but moment later
the doubling man gave start.
"By Jovew he exclaimed. 1--WE left
my pocketbook in my other trousers"

In the Ice Age.

Many boys and girls cannot under
stand how it could have been so cold
on this continent at one time that it
was covered with ice, at least down to
the fortieth degree of latitude. They
reason about this way-that the sur
face of the earth was always exposed
to the suns heat exactly as it is now,
and, if that be so, why was this part of
the continent once as cold as the arctic
regions, whereas now it is temperate?
The explanation given by biologists
is very simple. The northern part of
our continent had at that time an ele-
walton several thousand feet greater
than it has now, so that, like the top
of a high mountain, it extended above
the snow line into the region of per-
petual ice. 1t was, in fact, an immense
glacier, holding the land in it's cold
grasp.
This was long before man came on
the earth and is known as the glacial
period, which lasted for about 100000
years. AS the ages passed the glacier
moved toward the south very slowly
indeed, but melting as it moved, until
after awhile it melted entirely away,
leaving the continent as it now is, a
temperate region, because it's elevation
Is so much reduced below the snow line.

Melba,s ravorite Rooms.

In Melba's town house the drawing
room and music room, which consti-
tute, together with the boudoir, one
suit, are always cheerful with flowers
and palms. Plenty of light is let in
through an unusually liberal supply of
window space, and the glow is height
ened by yellow MORE hangings and
the cream white of the walls, that are
reproductions of those in the palace at
Versailles Nine. Melba has searched
through antiquity shops to some pur-
pose, for the flood of light is neutral
lied by the tones of old brocades that
cover the Louis XIV. chairs and
couches. Imagine the drawing room
and music room banked with flowers,
the gilt sconces and crystal chandeliers
alight on the occasion of an evening
party when the musical programme is
given by the hostess and a group of
celebrities whose presence at one time
behind the footlights would mean a
struggle for life at the box Office

The Advance In paper Making.

When Ulman Stromer long ago estab-
lished paper making in Germany, he
had no foresight of the important posi-
ton paper was destined to assume in
the civilization of man. In Stromer's
time paper was a rare material, little
used and only to be found in the offices
of the learned, of scribes and of officers.
The supply Of Germany and of all
northern Europe was brought from
Italy and Spain-most of it from the
factories of Fabriano, in Italy, where
paper mills existed in the twelfth cen
fury, while lively paper industry
flourished in Spain, with it's principle
seat at San Felipe, in Valencia, as early
as 1850.
The paper making art was introduced
into both of these lands by the Arabs,
who learned it in Samarcand and
spread it through Europe. 1t was intro
duced into Samarcand in 751 by Chi
nese prisoners from their country,
where it had been carried on from ex-
tremely ancient times.

Engraving a Banrsnote.

The design of the new thousand
franc note to be shortly issued by the
Bank of France was made by the cele-
brated artist Luc Olivier erson and
is now being engraved by NJ. Frederic
Florian, who has been engaged on the
work for the past eighteen months.
The precautions taken by the bank au-
thorities seem hardly complimentary to
the artist. He has been specially rec
commended not to mention to a soul any
particulars of the plate on which he is
engaged. All the work has to be done
in the bank, and when he arrives each
morning he is escorted to his studio
by two porters, who watch him care
fully all the time he is engraving.
When he has finished for the day, his
plate and the drawing from which he
copies are placed in a box, which is
sealed up and taken to the strong
room, and the next day before he be-
gins the seals are examined to see that
they are intact. A new press has been
devised for printing the notes in eight
colors, and forgeries will be next to
impossible.

FALSE PIsTAcHIo NUTS.
How the Demand Has Been Supplied
by Various Subterfuges.

How the Demand Has Been Supplied
by Various Subterfuges.
What with the popularity of green
ice cream and confectionery and the
growth of immigration from Mediter-
ranean countries there has been a
steady increase in the consumption of
pistachio nuts. So extensive has been
the change that many merchants have
yielded to the temptation of initiating
the pleasant vegetable tissue. In fla
vor it is like a mild almond, and the
chief perceptible difference between
the two lies in the color The un-
scrupulous dealer blanches his aim
onds, brushes them and colors them
with chlorophyll, or spinach green The
imitation is so close that only experts
can tell the difference between the
two. The Greeks in New York seem
to have been the first to discover this
ingenious fraud and seldom sell the
pistacho paste which was once in
vogue. They import and keep in stock
medium quantities of pistachio nuts,
which are said to be grown in Greece,
Tic dIScA dIClllpSldSO anu ASIA AluUE.
These nuts are smaller than the aver
age and are harder and drier. The
Armenians use a larger size, which is
said to come from their own country,
Syria, and Persia. To an American
palate the nuts are not very agreeable.
They are trifle too hard and suggest
biting on a piece of wood rather than
any nutritious kernel.
Both Greeks and Armenians employ
them for a variety of purposes. In
nearly all cases the nuts are hulled,
scalded and skinned. The kernel is
then crushed dry or broken and sof-
tened by hot water. 1t may be boiled
into a soft substance, trifle harder
than a baked potato, or it may be
roasted, although the operation gives
1t burned and not altogether enjoy
able taste. The Greeks utilize the nut
In many varieties of cake and confec-
tionery, while the Armenians employ
1t in stuffing fowl, lamb and In max
ing pilau and other savory Dishes The
pistachio nuts are not overexpensive,
costing about the same as the almonds.
1t is possible that we will have some
of the native growth ere long, as the
experiment of raising them is now be-
ing tried in southern California.-New
York Post.

A snnke Story From India.

A queer story of the cure of snake
bite comes from India. A young man
bitten by venomous snake was evil
IDENTIFY dying. The mob called in re-
solved to try the most powerful rem
edy he knew. He tied a cowrie shell
on to a piece of string and muttered
lamentations till it began to whirl
round and round and finally disap-
peared. In a few minutes the snake
that had done the damage appeared
with the string and shell round it's
neck and was commanded by the mob
to put it's mouth to the wound for
about ten minutes, after which it went
away. The dying man speedily re-
covered.

TRANSPLANTED TREES.
Why They Frequently Remain Dor.
mant a Whole Season.

Why They Frequently Remain Dor.
mant a Whole Season.
Certain kinds of trees frequently re-
main dormant all summer, following
spring transplanting. To all appear
ances they are dead, and they are an
eyesore to the owner till removed.
The writer of this has seen wistari-
as, horse chestnuts, ashes and tulip
trees remain perfectly dormant all
summer and come out safely into leaf
the following spring. 1t seems contra
ry to nature that trees should live
without the leaves, which we learn
are their lungs and essential for evap-
grafton and assimilation of food in the
growing season.
Explanation of this peculiar action
is had by studying for a moment the
conditions that probably exist. The
roots Of such trees have been dis
turbed and their feeding powers sud
denly checked. They are called upon
to support the tops as formerly, yet
their opportunity for the time being is
gone. A struggle is going on. The tops
make feeble effort to put forth buds
and draw on the roots for nourishment
with poor success. The roots yield of
their stored food, but are too weak or
are not in a position to make new
feeding fibers. If the tops have not
been pruned, the drain is so much the
greater. Where leaves put forth, tram
spiration would be more than the trees
could stand, and they would gradual
ly die away.-Meehan's Monthly.

The Magic Apple.

Here is little trick which any girl
or boy can do: The performer shows
an apple strung on piece of cord. He
let's it slide down the cord and sud
denly stops it half way down, so that
it seems to be floating in the air, until
he gives it permission to continue its
journey. There are different ways of
doing this trick, but they all depend
on the same principle.
A curved packing needle is used in
conducting the cord through the apple,
making a curved channel. By holding
the cord loosely the apple can slide
down in consequence of it's weight, but
as soon as the cord is stretched fhis
being hardly perceptible) the apple is
brought to standstill. When the cord
is relaxed, the apple will continue it's
sliding motion.
