same. Then stitch these leaves so as
to show the veins.
After that cut three leaves from

with either pink. white or brown. Tie

Stand by the nail in the side of the

ring away from you, trying to make 1t

three out of five tries. Get your
brother to try 1t with you. and he will

Answers to Correspondents.

A. s. H.-Instead of using peroxide of hydrogen for a face bleach. why don't you try the well established prescription consisting of pint of distilled water, 10 grains bichloride of mercury, and 1-2 ounce of glycerine? The water and the mercury (which should be in a coarse powderl are to be shaken together hard until the mercury is thoroughly dissolv- ed; then the glycerine may be added. If the mixture proves strong enough to hurt your skin, use less mercury which, by the way. is dangerous stuff and should be handled carefully. Apply the bleach with an old linen handkerchief or soft sponge.

The cold water closes the pores, a result de- sired if you are going out into cutting air, but the opening of them is the object of the hot bath at night, and 1t is better to leave them open, so that the skin may be free to throw off the matter which has tendency to clog and form black heads. Use cold water In the morning preparatory to a day of activity. The skin food of which you enclose a pre- scription should be of benefit to you.
 To whiten your hands, dc not use rose water with the glycerine, but try mkt ure Of 12 ounces elder flower water, 8 drachms pulverized borax, and three quarters of an ounce of glycerine. Use the cocoa butter if you like for filling out neck and shoulders, but depend much upon calisthenics. Vaseline strengthens the growth of the eye lashes.

JAPAN SHIPS
VAST FORCE
HAS SHIPPED 100000 SOLDIERS TO
THEATER OF OPERATIONS
SINCE OUTBREAK OF WAR.

LONDON, March 1O.-The Express
correspondent at Nagasaki, under date
Of March Sth via Shanghai March 10,
cables; Ten divisions, or in round num-
bers 100000 troops have been shipped
from Japan since the commencement of
hostilities. This is a record in trans
port which any Western power would
find it hard to beat if not approach. A
fleet of transports with a portion of the
Second Army Corps is now on the way
to Korea. This force will probably be
landed to the north of Fusan.
The Russians are reported to be
heavily mining the roads in the vicinity
of the Yalu.
The Hupeh Corps of the Chinese
army, which is modern armed and
well drilled has arrived to the north
of Tung Ching, in the Hupeh prov
ince, and is waiting for arms and am
munitiOn preparatory to continuing
the march.
Following the bombardment of Dalny
by the Japanese fleet there has been
an exodus from the town. 1t is re-
ported that further force of japanese
has landed to the south of Vladivos-
tok.
dispatch to the Graphic from Sc
bastopol says: 1t is stated that Ad-
miral Skrydloff will command the Rus
sian Baltic squadron which will sail
for the Far East in June. The dis
patch adds that naval officials there
are depressed by recent events. There
is a harassing suspicion that the con-
duct of the naval war on Russia s
side with the exception of the Variag's
engagement, will be regarded by for
eign navies, especially the British, as
being worse than laundering.

A. L. Lunggren passed for cause
during the morning. He stated at
first that he was opposed to the death
penalty, but on further examination it
appeared that the reason was that he
didn't think it severe enough. Lung
gren said in answer to one question
that he didn't regard it as a punish
ment, but explained that his idea was
that Imprisonment for life or for TWEEN
ty years was worse and was more pro-
per for man who had committed a
crime such as was charged against the
defendant.
