Lest We FORGET.

1t is a good thing to preserve all i'm
portant historic sites and relics which
can still be identified or are still in
existence. We have been far too neg
lectful of such things. Through popu-
lar and official carelessness and some
times through sheer vandalism, many
precious objects have been lost for
ever and some places have become
Impossible to identify with precision.
The lost cannot be restored, but all
that still exist may be preserved. We
shall do well to preserve them on
grounds as practical as they are senti-
mental. There is no occasion to be-
grudge the setting apart OF land for
such purposes. Land Is valuable for
other things than the building of
houses or the growing Of potatoes

Made an Enemy.
When George Eliot was still Miss
Evans. and before she had begun to
write novels, she used to frequent an
old book shop on the Strand, where
she left very unfavorable impression
on one young man who was at that
time an assistant in John Chapman s
shop. His description of her is that
of n remarkably ugly young woman
of universal knowledge. whose delight
it was to use the Socratic method in
conversation, but without the Socratic
benevolence of intention. The result
was that the young men at the dining
table (the shop had boarding house
for its employees and guests) who
heedlessly hazarded an opinion. were
very soon made to feel not only that
they knew nothing of the subject un-
der discussion, Dut that they knew
very little indeed of anything. Now,
a young man does not relish being
badgered and made a fool of by a
pretty woman, but 1t is intolerable to
be sat upon by an ugly one-at least
such was the feeling of our informant,
and one consequence of this treat
ment was that in after years. when
Miss Evans had become George Eliot.
one man could never persuade him
self to read Adam Bede," or to ad-
nit that the author was other taan a

erable intellectual prig.-Earper's

PREVENTS SMALLPOX.

Alabastine will not cure smallpox

they have fastened their deadly grip
upon their victims. 1t will do much,
however. toward preventing their
spread.
It is a well recognized fact that cer-
tain wall coatings do much to harbor
disease germs and propagate same;
that Of all coverings wall paper is
the most likely to hold the germs of
disease for months and years.
There are well authenticated cases
where smallpox, scarlet fever and other
germs have lain dormant for years.
and have attacked persons afterward
when the paper was removed.
Kalsomines stuck on the wall with
decaying glue are not much better
than wall paper with its vegetable
paste.
Alabastine is recommended gener-
ally by sanitarians, es coating for
walls in any style Of work, as 1t Is
perfectly sanitary. is in the nature OF
4 disinfectant. presents perfectly

. cement base, and does not furnish
lodgment ground for disease germs.
Years ago these matters received
but little attention. but modern scien-
lists becoming appalled, at the spread
of the dread disease. smallpox, and
the diniculty in stamping 1t out, have
gone to investigating causes, and un-
hesitatingly say that improper wall
coatings havo very much to do with
this.
Alabastine is recommended to be
used on all infected walls, to destroy
germs and to get walls once moro in

The Pe.ru.na Almanac.

The druggists have already been
supplied with Peruna almanacs. There
is sure to be a great demand for these
almanacs on account Of the articles on
astroloCy which they contain. The
subject of astrology is very attrac-
tive one to most people. The articles
on astrology in the Peruna almanac
have been furnished by a very COM
petent astrologist, and the mental
characteristics of each sign is given,
constituting almost complete horo-
scope. A list of questions and answers
on astrology sent free upon request.
There will be great rush for these
books. Ask your druggist for one
early before they are all gone.

RAILWAYS AND SABBATH REST
One Great system Finds IL Profitable
to Give Its Employees One
Day in seven,

The cause of Sabbath rest has been
injured in years past by the running
of Sunday trains, which necessitated
and endless chain of Sunday labor 1t
will rejoice everybody who is inter-
ested in this reform to learn that it is
now being strengthened by the rail-
ways themselves, which in times past
have done so much to weaken il, The
principal officials of the big trunk
lines have long appreciated the fact
that It was business wisdom to give
iAan one-seventh of his time for re-
cuperation and that of all yocations
this is more true Of the railway service
than Of almost any other Where
Sunday traffic has been largely sus,
pended more work has been actually
accomplished in six days than was for
merly done in seven, and even the roll
ing stock of the roads seemed to show
the benefit Of complete cessation from
toll, The result was no perceptible de-
crease in earnings, but a decided de-
crease in wrecks. Considerations Of
this nature, no doubt, have led the Of
ficials of the great Chicago & North
western system to notify all of its
connecting lines of other railways that
hereafter no dead freight Will be Ie-
ceiycd by that company on Sundays
between seven a. m. and seven p, m. AS
a consequence, says the Rams Horn,
fully 5000 of the men employed in the
operation of freight trains on the
of rest at home, and the general Off
GERS Of the company do the same, Ac-
Cording to the latter the innovation Of
providing a Sunday at home for EN-
ployes of the operating department has
proved great success, one Of the Of
icials says Reports received from all
over the system show that the men APP

ready to hustle. We do not experience
any inconvenience from reducing

We are in good shape Monday morning
We do not see why the plan cannot be
followed from this on and believe
that It will result in benefit TO our
men and to the company, as we'll" on

MORE BEAUTY DoN'TS.
Secrets of Having shapeiy aud fret't
Nails and Soft and Delicate
Fingers.

Don't over manicure the hands, or
they will become so tender as TO be cas-
lily Redeemed and roughened.
Don't wash the hands oftener than
necessary, and dry them thoroughly all-
er every washing.
Don't neglect the palms of the hands
They need attention as much as the
backs of the hands. Rub an emolllent
-perfumed honey is good-into the
palms with thumb and forefinger
Don't neglect massaging and knead-
ing of the hands. in order TO secure good
circulation, which helps TO keep the
hands white and make the skin plant.
Don't forget to pinch the ends OF the
fingers now and then. This will DO
a good deal toward making the fingers
taper.
Don't polish the nails too highly, or
they become so brittle that the slightest
contact with anything hard breaks them
down to the quick, thereby causing in
tense pain.
Don't file or scrape the nails; either
process only helps TO thicken them.
They should be rubbed down with The
very fine emery and cinnabar powder,
which is used for polishing shell ana
ivory.
Don't allow the nails TO remain long
soiled with anything that will stain
them.
Don't always use a nail polisher or
buffer Once in awhile try polishing
the nails on the palm Of the hand.
Don't trim the nails to sharp points,
If there is anything that will set the
teeth on edge it is to shake hands and
feed a slight Craze from such claws,
1t is feline.
Don't always use scissors to trim the
nails; a file is better to round off the
edges. Nothing tends to injure the
nails so much as persistent trimming
with a pair of scissors.
Don't think that one rule applies to al
finger nails. No two sets Of nails can
be treated quite alike, not alone because
of their texture, but of their formation,
To trim some nails overmuch renders
them thick and ugly. To leave others
too long uncut increases their tendency
to brittleness
Don't wear rings that are too small.
The inevitable result is Disagreement
from red and swollen hands and knuck-
les.
Don't wear gloves stitched with co..
ors. They make the hands look larger
Don't wear gloves that are size too
small or that fasten too tightly This
prevents free circulation and makes the
hands red.
Don't think the appearance OF the
hands trifling consideration. A beau
tiful hand may be even more fascinating
than beautiful face, and nothing more
