SENTENCE COMMITTED.

If Ambrose Johnson was not born
to be hanged he will so to the pen for
life. He is rejoicing. His communication is
due to the untiring efforts OF his attor-
neys, MIR. J. B. Slattery and Mr.. E. D.
Mills. Some theorists would assert that
life servitude is the greatest punish
ment. If so, why is it that every mur-
derer reprieved from hanging and then
commuted to life servitude is full of re-
joicing? What is needed is few first
class legal hangings. Think of four
murder cases being On the docket for
trial during the week and others not
listed!

POINTS ABOUT PIMPLEs.
Care OF the stomach and Proper
Treatment of the Skin VIII
Prevent Them.

Pimples cannot be cured by lotions
alone. Pimples indicate an excess of
oil in the skin, which would be thrown
off if the skin performed its proper
functions, says American Queen.
The source of pimple is usually in
the stomach. A disordered stomach
produces pimples in some and sal
low skin in others.
Impure blood is due to an impure
stomach.
The greatest care should be given to
diet, and only nutritious food should
be eaten and not too much of that if
the digestion be weak.
Intelligence in eating would go @
long way toward helping the stomach
and the digestive organs in their work
Do not put into your stomach at the
same time milk and lobster, ice cream
foods.
Hot water, soap and a thorough
scrubbing of the skin daily are abso-
lutely essential to clear skin. 4 hot
foot bath is also very beneficial.
Sulphur has become almost a spe-
cific for pimples. An excellent lotion is
made by mixing together one dram of
sulphur precipitate and one ounce of
best alcohol. Apply to the eruption
several times a day. Shake we'll be-
fore using.
A lotion for oily skins is made of
elder-fiower water. one pint; simple
tincture of benzoin, one ounce. Drop
in the benzoin very slowly, stirring
constantly to prevent curdling.

and cover the roof with straw cut in
equal lengths and fastened on in small
punches. The lower part of the house
may be box, the upper side of which
can be used for a shelf for the pots of

should be covered with punches of the
straw to correspond with the roof.
Put pots of vines at each corner, so
that they can climb up the corner posts
and cover the roof, allowing the bunch

course, the house must be tall enough
to give plenty of room for the plants
growing within it. Hanging baskets
suspended from the under side of the
roof add to its y.-Housekeeper.

Cost of Clothes in Russia.

Barring the inhabitants of the earth
who wear practically no clothes at all,
the costume of the average Russian
costs the least. Ten rubles, or about
$3.50, will clothe male citizen of the
cars realm, while the woman's cos
tune will cost less than three dollars.
The mans costume is coarse cotton
trousers tucked into boots of half
dressed leather, cotton shirt and a
sheep-skip coat. A coarse Camlet
caften bound around with sash, COM
pletes the dress. The women wear a
sarafan, or long petticoat, which is
held up by straps running over the
shoulders, chemise with sleeves to
the elbow, a kerchief over the head,
and a pair of shoes. Stockings are
sometimes worn, but more frequently
the legs and feet are bound with strips
of cotton OF linen cloth. For outdoor
wear quilted jacket or long cloak is
added. The simplicity and cheapness
of dress is not due to any lack of van
ity. but to the poor circumstances I'M
der which the majority of the Russians
live.-Detroit Free Press,

FANCY PLAYING CARDS.
Some Are Made with Decorations on
Backs, Rejecting Pleasures
of Each Season.

Card players with an eye for bust
ness have greater concern for the
kings, queens and ten spots than for
the backs of playing cards, but less
enthusiastic players who dawdle
through a game find time to examine
the posterior decorations as well, says
the New York Times.
Of these decorations there are de-
signs in plenty, which vary in POPULAR
ity according to the season and the
pleasures and pursuits thereof. Dur
ing the coming summer, so dealers
prophesy, the yachting design will
take the lead, owing to the interest in
the international races. Five years
ago, when the cycling fever was rag
ing, bicycle cards were the heavy
sellers, but nowadays the sales of that
design are comparatively light. Sum-
mer landscapes and marine views are
generally popular during the warm
months, while winter brings de-
mand for frozen lakes and indoor mer-
riment. During the season just ended
the three designs reported to have the
heaviest sales were an ice-coated mill
wheel, skating pond, and a ball scene
OF course, many people who buy
cards give no thought to the design on
the back. They are guided in their Sc
lection by the size, quality and price,
but there are other artistic souls who
take pleasure in idly viewing an appro-
pirate picture while studying their OPP
ponent's hand, and it is for their bene-
fit that so much thought is expended
on those finishing touches.
Card houses are always in the mar
ket for designs for the backs of their
cards and pay literally for those ac-
cepted. Besides general work, they
execute many special designs for clubs,
hotels and business houses. Societies
of all kinds usually do their own de-
signing, or at least offer suggestions,
and many of the decks of cards manu-
featured for their especial use are
handsomely decorated with mono
grams and appropriate emblems.
