SOME RARE COSMETICS.
Diana of Poietiers Bathed in Rain
 Water.

Water.
 Even In the unhappy ages when peo- pie knew nothing of the bath and its rejuvenatlng properties noted beau. ties found out the secret of preserving their lovaliness by abutionary aids Isabeau of Bavaria heard that chick. weed was good for the skin, and had enormous decoctlons brewed thereof and bathed in them daily. Diana of Poictiers was another of the cleanly coquettes, and plunged into a tub of rainwater every morning.
 The eighteenth century belles like. wise believed in bathing, but they put all sorts of odd infuslons into the water to improve the skin, such as the bouillon in which veal had been boiled, water distilled from the honey extracted from roses, a preparation of almonds, melon juice, the milky juices of green barley and inseed distilled with Mexican balm dissolved by the yolk of an egg. These remarkable de- coctions were freely used by the la. dies who stunned themselves at the courts of Louis. before the revolution.
 Queen Marie Antoinette made liberal use of "tub," putting into the water wild thyme, laurel leaves, marjoram and a little sea salt.
 Marie Czetwertynoska, Russian beauty who exercised great influence over Czar Alexander l., used to baths in Malaga wine.
 The Marechale Davoust, Princess Eckmuhl. was at S5 renowned for her queenly carriage, superb eyes and beautiful color, her skin being so white as to rival the snow of her abun. dant locks. She had never used any, thing but pure water on her face, and she always kept to a very simple diet, even when her table was loaded with good cheer for her guests.-Woman's Life.

StanIey's Real Title,

The laurels that Stanley won were earned by his own strength and en- deavor. He gave trade and civiiZa- tion new impetus. He did more to change the map of Africa and to give the face of the world a new expres- sion than any other man since Wash ington. In the empty title that he ac- cepted from the British government is to be found the only substitution of shadow for substance in his career. The hollowness and claptrap of knighthood, supposed, by worshipers of rank and privilege, to distinguish the great from the little, add nothing to honors won in the most difficult field of endeavor The glory that he gained from the jungles, fields and streams of an uneXplored and almost impenetrable country was embellished with no new luster by the "sir'' which he permitted British aristocracy to place before his name. He was a and Achievement, and as such he needed no title. He was broad-mind- ed and ingenious He entertained no illusions regarding the relative posi- tions of men. He was sufficiently democratic not to hide the story of his humble origin, and frequently visited the poorhouse where his interesting history begins. He knew from many bitter experiences that it is not what man is born unto but what he makes of himself that brings rank. Posterity will forget Stanley, the knight, but the future world of Con- merce, Art, Industry and Independ- ence will never forget Stanley, the ex- plorer.@SuccesS.

Advice for the Young Wife.

One of the most difficult questions for young wife to decide is how she shall treat her new relatives. Some times, of course, her husbands and her own family have been friends for years, and she at once slips into her place as the daughter of the house, only changing dear friends into dearer relatives; but this Is not always the case.
 More often she meets her husband far away from his family, and is only 1 introduced after her marriage.
 A bride should try to remember that everything depends on first impress sion, and should therefore be careful to create favorable one at once.
 She must recoIlect that, whatever their failings and peculiarities are they are her husbands people, and as such to be treated with respect, even if she cannot feel for them the affection she is desirous to give.
 Let her try to love them as her own people; but if this Is impossible she can at least treat them with courtesy.
 As a rule. however, the young wife will find her new relations only too ready to love her for her husbands sake at first, eventually for her own sake, and she ought to have no trouble about returning 1t.

Joke that Cost a Dollar.

John R. Mclean and the late Frank Hatton left Washington hotel one evening for quiet walk and business talk. AS they were meandering down a residence street, Mir. Hatton saw an Irishman approaching with an un- steady gait, and told Mclean he would have some fun with him.
 When they met, Hatton accosted the half-lnebriate. pushed him up against wall, handed him half-dol- lar and said:
 "Take that money. and quit telling the neighbors that I don't pay my debts."
 The Hibernlan gripped the money, gazed at Hatton, saw instantly that 1t was a joke or mistaken identity, and replied:
 "Yez fergit that it was a dollar yer borryed."
 And MT. Hatton had to give up an- other half-dollar.

Bad Teeth Cause Dyspcpsis.

The close connection between decay. ed teeth and diseases of the digestion Is pointed out by medical writer. The presence of free acids in the mouth Is particularly harmful. These may come from various sources but most com monly from the acid fermentation of the carbohydrate food lodged on or between the teeth at the gums, and due to the action of micro-organisms pres ent in the mouth.
 Normally the saliva Is alkaline and any acids produced in the crevices of the teeth are thus neutralized and de- cay prevented. There are two condi- tions under which the saliva is unable to neutralize the acids produced local ly-namely: First, when 1t is deficient in alkalinity, and, second, when 1t Is deficient in quantity. As to the former. 1t is well known that the saliva be- comes less alkaline or even acid In any condition of prolonged gastric di' gestion, phenomenon which occurs in nearly all cases of dyspepsia.
 Moreover, the teeth when decayed further tend to keep up the state of chronic dyspepsia by rendering mas. tication imperfect. A vicious circle Is thus established. To obviate this form of dental disease the teeth should be washed frequently with solution of which one of the ingredients Is bi- carbonate of soda. This. may prevent one of the most disagreeable results Of the disease-facial neuralgia.

Revenge of a Waiter.

Tips regarding prospective smug- glers come to the customs officials In strange ways and from peculiar sources, says the New York Tribune. One of the queerest was a cable dis patch from Bermuda, received few weeks ago. It read: Customs, New York: Watch Green-bicycle trunk from Bermuda" There was no sigma ture, and the officials, utterly puzzled as to the source of the message. await ed the arrival of the next Bermuda boat with interest. Sure enough, there was passenger named Green, and among his luggage was a bicycle trunk.
 He made the usual declaration that he was bringing in nothing dutiable.
 What Is in this?" asked an inspect or, tapping the bicycle trunk.
 My bicycle, of course"
 Suppose you open it," said the in. spectOr.
 MT. Green was sorry, but he had lost the key. Then they broke 1t open and found 1t packed with expensive cigars, which were promptly confiscated.
 The mystery of the cabled tip was cleared up by a passenger who had stopped in Hamilton at the same hotel with Green. It seemed that Green never tipped hotel servants. One of them discovered that he was packing the bicycle case with cigars and told his fellows. They clipped in enough to pay for the cable dispatch and in giving tue tip had revenge for tips not given.

Mills of this style are mounted on tall, slender towers, or upon milk houses, sheds or barns. For the four fans covered with duck are often substituted six fans of thin lumber The smallest of them are ten to twelve feet in diameter, the larg- est being about thirty-six feet across. The canvas sails are fitted with brass eyelets and fastened on with rope The sails are removed or furled when in disuse.

RARE AMERICANA CATALOGUE.
Historical Documents In Europe Are
 Listed in lSO Volumes.

A catalogue of remarkable kind Is at the moment being completed in Lon don, says the London Chronicle. It is an index of the manuscripts referring to the period of the American revolu- ton which are in the archives of Eng land, France Holland and Spain.
 For about thirty years Its compila- ton occupied the late Benjamin Frank lin Stevens, who was so well known as dispatch agent here for the American government. It was the pet task of his life as well as of his leisure hours, and he left 1t almost finished-thanks to the considerable staff which he had working on It. There is not and there never can be another catalogue just like 1t and its inevitable destiny would seem to be the library of Congress at Washington.
 The period covered dates from 1763, when the rumblings of the American revolution began, to 17S3, when the tre- mendous chapter for which 1t stood in the worlds history could be summed up. If it was time of the sword, it also was a time of the pen. as Mir. Stevens catalogue index proves. In It there are entered no fewer than 161,- 900 documents, compiled in three di- visions. First here Is a catalogue in fifty volumes of beautifully written manuscript of these documents, as in dicated by short titles. Then comes chronological index in hundred vol umes, with description of each docu- ment and its contents. Finally an all phabetlcal index, arranged according to the writers and receivers of papers or, in the absence of names, the sub- jects-runs to thirty volumes-ln all 1SO volumes of manuscript At one time proposal for grant In aid of MT. Stevens undertaking was made in Congress, but it did not come to any thing. This was not for want of ap- preciation of the catalogue, but be- cause it Is always hard to get big Parliament to attend to small meas ure. The index has been valued at f20,000, but, being unique, 1t may be said to be without money and with. out price,"
