America this season with a new play en-
titled 'Mademoiselle Mars" has changed
but little, and on her present visit has
quite the same youthful aspect she had
when she first made her appearance In

half-lghts of the stage are rather to her
disadvantage, for, seen close at hand, the
extraordinary smoothness and delicacy Of
her skin is brought out and also the pretty
charm Of her halr which is abundant and
still Of the color Of her girlhood. Her fig

A box of old coins supposed to have
been buried by the Tories during the
revolutionary period was recently I'M
earthed by laborers working on n

coins were about two centuries old
they would probably have no more
vale today than many of the remedies
compounded for stomach, liver and
bowel disorders. 1t is therefore neces-
sary, il you want to recover your
health. to be careful in the selection OF
a medicine that will restore the appe-
tite, purify the blood and cure head
ache, indigestion, dyspepsia, constipa-
