To Get Rid Of Freckles.

In the January Deliaeator, in the
department Good Looks" DR..
Eleanor Rogers gives the following
recommendations for getting rid OF
freckles. which will be welcomed
by many whoare troubled with these
disagreeable blemishes:
For removing freckles use color
less iodine. This can be made by
adding one part of pure ammonia TO
three OF tincture of iodine. After
standing q day or two the iodine
will become white. Apply the iodine
10 each freckle with a camel 5 hair
brush or, better, by means of swab
made by wrapping q wisp of cotton
around q toothpick, for fresh one
can then be used each time. Apply
only enough TO cover the freckle.
Use il night and morning until the
skin is Redeemed, but not too much
irritated. The pigment of the free
kle is deposited In the upper layer
OF skin, and that must be DESTROYED
in order 70 get rid OF the pigment.
Lemon juice is very useful to keep
the skin white and TO prevent the de.
posit OF coloring matter. which
makes the blemishes Of moth patches
and sreckles,"

In every man there is the spirit OF
the boy that once dominated him,
says the -Four Track Neus. 1t never
entirely dies out. In toe coldly com
mercial man, whose idol is the dol
lar mark, the boy spirit lies dormant,
but it is there nevertheless, and can
be aroused il it is only appealed to
in the right way.
At this, the Christmas season,
every man should try to forget his

nature have full sweep, for this is
what Longfellow would call "the

Old D0wnsville Store

Between 2 and 4 o o'clock, last Sun
day morning the old store house at
townsville, Valley Lee district, was
discovered to be on fire aud was
burned to the ground. The building
was unoccupied and il is supposed
that il was seton FIRE by three dredg-
ers who stayed there during the
night. The men passed Hayden s
store ut Valley Lee early on the
morning of Monday, presumably on
their way to Mechanicsville to take
the train. Special officer Lewis
Viett left Leonardtown Monday
night for Mechanicsville to try and
arrest the suspects. Justice Nor

made strenuous efforts to have the
culprits arrested. The store house

TOO SHORT FOR REVENGE,

THE NORTH SEA AFFAIR

The suspicion that the officers OF the
Baltic feet were rendered irresponsible
by too free indulgence IN drink, while
passing through the North Sea. Is
said to have been confirmed by letter
from a subaltern on the fleet addressed
10 n German merchant The letter Is
quoted I'm the Manchester Guardian
According to this authority many OF
the officers and crew were drunk; the
SQUADRON was out OF Us course; In the
confusion Il ran into a fleet OF small
boats and the firing at once began. on
board his own ship the cannonading
stopped. he says, only when some Of
the shells that struck the decks were
seen to be OF Russian manufacture
This letter Is IN all probability a for
gerry. with the Russian system OF
censorship. Il could not without the
greatest difficulty have been written on
board a Russian vessel and mailed
from there. particularly so soon after
the North Sea incident II Is said that
no Russian soldier IN the field can re-
celve. or dispatch a letter without the
knowledge Of some superior officer
whose business It is TO keep a watch
on letters. n this Is the rule IN the
army there Is no reason to believe It Is
not also the rule in the navy OF course,
there Is possibility Of such letter
having been written, IL the writer can
be supposed TO have been willing 20
take the chance Of detection, and

highly improbable.
i is probable, though, that the state.

Is probable that the valiant sea-farers
from the land OF Rurlk. on emerging
into the North Sea, concluded to have
general celebration as fitting conf
mencement Of the voyage which might
as FAR as they knew, end IN eternity.
Il Is also probable that under the in
nuence OF this celebration they fired at
