BAD G 0M p [ E X 10 N S
Can Be Covered up With Lotions,
Washes and Powders Contain
ing Arsenic, Lead and Mineral
Poisons. But These Always
Make a Bad Matter Worse.
How to Obtain Good Com
plexion in Natures Way.

1t is rank nonsense to attempt to cover up or
hide bad complexion sallow, notified skin
by cosmetics, face powders skin foods, many OF
which contain zinc lead arsenic, and all Of
which in the end make bad matters worse. The
only safe and sure way to improve the complex
ion is by purifying and enr.ching the blood, by
keeping the bowels regular and the liver healthy
and active. Bad blood is responsible for bad
complexion, and in turn bad blood is a direct
suit Of bad bowels. An antiseptic and resolyent Is
needed as well as an Alternative and evacuant.
Smiths Pineapple and Butternut Pills possess all
these properties In a remarkable degree. They act
directly the liver and bowels, cleanse and en-
rich the blood and In this way quickly improve
the complexion. When you consider that pineap
pie is most efficient intestinal antseptc and that
butternut is unequalled a liver regulator, you
quite understand why Smiths Pineapple and
Buternut Pills are used by many ladies to keep
their blood pure and their skin rosy and clear OF
pimples blCtches and salowness. These little
health promoters purely vegetable, never grippe

A Seville Wedding Ceremony.

de Ojeda, at present minister from Spai
to the United States.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1903-12-04


Yesterday morning as we were going into
the cathedral several carriages drove UP
with a brave show and indications of a
bridal display. The coachman and footman
all wore white gloves, and knots Of white
ribbon were scattered around over the har-
ness and tied to the whips. The bride was
not very good-looking and not very young
but she looked happy, and was suitable
match for the groom, a middle-ageo typlcai
Spaniard with Van Dyke beard, VINO
awaited her arrival in the vest1buie with
three friends to support him. There was
quite a party of friends and relatives as
witnesses. and it was more than doubled by
volunteers like ourselves, who hurried after
them and crowded into the Chapel Royal,
where the ceremony was performed imme-
diately over the tomb Of Peter the Cruel by
an archbishop in respondent robes.
The marriage ceremony in Spain Is al
ways interesting, and has some features
that are unknown in other countries. The
groom. for instance, places number of
gold coins upon tray. The amount varies
according to his financial circumstances,
and he passes them over to the bride to
confirm his promise to endow her with all
his worldly goods; and she in turn hands
them to the minister as gift to the poor.
The Old Mans Home.
Speaking of gifts to the poor reminds me
of the old mans home here in Seville,
which was founded in the seventeenth CEN
fury by Don Miguel de Manara Bizentalo,
a notorious profigate, who one night en-
countered a funeral procession when he was
going home from a carousal. Inquiring
who was dead he heard his own name men
toned. and when he demanded sight of the
corpse he beheld his own features. The
priests told him that they were going to
church to say a mass for the soul of the
dead. and invited him to follow them
which he did. The next morning, when he
was found lying unsconscious upon the floor
of the church, he told the story to explain
his presence, and from that moment was a
changed man. He devoted himself and his
entire fortune to works of mercy, and at
his death founded this home for aged,
friendless men, with an endowment that
pays an income of $4,000 a year. making
only one condition, which was that he
should be buried under the threshold, so
that every one who entered should trample
upon his grave. and that the following in
scription should be engraved in letters
large and plain enough for every one to
read:

Within the walls we found ITO feeble old

Several of them were reading aloud to their

The sister who took us about showed us a
rose bush in one of the patios which had
been planted by the founder $50 years ago.
In the chapel are some Of Murillo's best
pictures. for he was a friend of Don Miguel,
and painted them expressly to adorn this
institution.
The Famous Barber.
There is a tradition that the barber shop
Of Figaro, the gentleman we are so well
acquainted with in the operas, stood In the
plaza San Thomas in the rear of this hos
pital, and the exact house is pointed out,
but 1t is now occupied as a bakery. One
wor ders that some enterprsing barber does
not buy the lease and go into business
there, for it certainly would be good
advertisement for him.

Crime Among Educated.

Indeed the number of crimes COM
mitted by the highly educated is an
alarming feature of the situation. The
list of defaultnig beokkeepers, bank
tellers, clerks, and college graduates
constantly lengthens, rejecting lurid
light upon the theories of those who
attempt to account for the origin of all
sin, vice, and crime by ignorance.
Those who attribute all crime to intem-
perance are also silenced, since many
prevalent crimes are incompatible with
that vice, for they require the keenest
intellects, the most concentrated atten-
tion. 1t is noteworthy, also, that rep
resentatives of the clerical, the legal,
and the medical professions are furnish
ing an increasing number of crimes of
dishonesty, violence, and pollution of
domestic life.-From James M. Buck
ley's "The Present Epidemic of Crime"

MAKING sANDALwooD OIL.

New Process Has Been Discovered Re-
Gently Purely by Accident.
One Of the most valuable of oils,
cist, Is that extracted from sandal
wood. Its discovery is due, like others
Of Importance, to accident, says the
Saturday Evening Post DR.. David I.
Day Of the United States Geological
Society was making some small chemi-
cal experiments the other day on the
mantelshelf Of his Office in Washington.
He had some crude petroleum from a
Texas well andSwas putting it through
various processes, more for amusement
than anything else, when he noticed
that the liquid resulting from a certain
reaction" had powerful odor. 1t
was too strong to be agreeab BILE to the
nostrils, but he moistened a bit of
paper with the fluid, and, waving it in
front Of his nose, perceived Immediate
1y that the smell was that Of sandal
wood oil. He had obtained, quite by
chance an artificial oil of sandalwood
impure, 1t Is true, but easily sus-
ceptible Of publication by refining.
The discovery is believed to be of
great value commercially, but DR.. Day
has too much scientific business on
hand to bother with exploiting syn
thetic perfume, and makes the world
welcome to his lucky find" Inasmuch
as the oil can be got from petroleum
in endless quantities at very cheap
rate it Is likely to drive the ordinary
sandalwood oil, which Is obtained by
distillation from the weed, out of the
market.
The destructive white ant OF India
and China, which devours nearly ev-
erything save metals, will not touch
sandalwood, and that Is one reason
why SO much Of it is made up in cask-
cts, boxes and similar articles that
come from Asia. Most people are
familiar with the agreeable perfume

How q Tramp Sawed Wood.

Harry Sanderson, manager for Tony
Pastor, who lives at Crawford. N J..
not feeling particularly well, took a
day off recently and remained at home.
From the window Of his library he OBJ
served a tramp entering his gate, and
he walked down to the rear door to
meet him. It was the old story-a re-
quest for a meal. Having load of
unsawed wood in the shed, he told
the fellow that IL he got to work and
performed on the sawbuck for brief
period he would have something pre-
pared for him.
The tramp went to the shed and i'm
mediately the sound Of vigorous saw
ing was heard, stick after stick part
ing under his energetic efforts. Calling
the tramp into the kitchen, Sanderson
complimented him upon his energy,
and the tramp replied with modest
air that whenever he had anything to
do he generally paid attention to It
The meal was eaten and the tramp
expressed his thanks and departed.
Shortly after Sanderson went out to
the shed and was surprised to find
every stick Of wood intact. Upon in
quiry in the village he ascertained that
he had been entertaining a stranded
way back to New York from Easton,
Pa. The mean chap had simply gone
into the shed and given him imitation
