War Cuts 4 Knot.

Who would suspect E. F. Seaman,
the jolly Seaman. with his fund Of
funny stories, his sparkling wit and
his keen appreciation Of humor, to
have been one of the principal figures
in one OF the most pathetic occur
rences Of the whole war Of the rebel
lion2
Mr.. Seaman occupies a position Of
great trust and responsibility with
the Black Diamond steel works Of
Park Bros & Co. Of Pittsburg. A
shade of sadness falls over his laugh
ing countenance when he recalls the
events connected with the Salem raid,
one Of the most trying periods Of
trying four years.
The advance guard, in command OF
Quartermaster Seaman, had come up
on a dancing party in cabin in the
mountains between Sweet Sulphur
Springs and New Castle. After quiet
~ surrounding the house with his
squad Mr.. Seaman opened the door
and demanded the surrender OF the
men within. There were about twenty
of them, all confederate soldiers.
Orders were given for the prisoners
to fail into line. and, except one tall,
finely formed young man, all obeyed.
He stood with his hand resting on the
shoulder Of a girl in white. Both
seemed dazed by the turn of events.
The girl was the first to recover her
self-possession. Turning to Mr.. Sea
man, she said:
You'll let George say with me,
won't you, sir? We have just been
married"
Mr. Seaman explained. as gently as
possible, the exigencies Of war; that
as a man he sympathized with her, but
as a soldier his duty was to take her
husband along. He assured her that
as a union prisoner her husband
should be treated with all kindness,
and probably in two or three months
he would be exchanged and come back
to her.
Clinging wildly around her hus-
bands neck she burst into uncontrol-
liable sobs. AS he pressed her to his
bosom many of the soldiers, whose
hearts had become hardened to pa
thetic scenes, found occasion to draw
their sleeves across their eyes.
In few moments she gained some
control Of herself, and, loosing her
arms, she raised her face to her hus.

Goodbye, George; good-byel"

tity, as twenty years had worked great

Mr.. Seaman. being an adroit CON
versationalist, easily led the conversa-
tion back to the war. In telling of it
he says:

TREATMENT OF HAIRY SKIN.
(Mary)-The use of lubricants, such as
cold creams. cocoa butter and vaseline.
cannot be advised except in very small
quantities for skins that are at all
hairy. for all of them will promote the
growth of hair If used for any length
Of time; but this does not follow on
faces not predisposed to an undue
growth of hair unless continual and
lavish applications are INDUCED in. AS
your skin does not chap readily, would
suggest that you use glycerin and rose
water, equal parts, and little almond
oil when necessary to soften the skin,
or the prepared honey and almond
cream, which will assist in keeping the
skin soft and white. Peroxide of hy-
drosen will tighten the color of the hair
on the arms and after three or four ap-
plications the hair will become brittle
and much of ii can be brushed off. As
this treatment does not destroy the

collarless styles, although the latter are

MAKING CHOCOLATE FUDGE.
(School GirD-Fudge should be boiled
four or five minutes; to test it, drop a
little in cold water; If done, 1t will
form in a soft ball when rolled be-
tween the fingers. Stir constantly from
start to finish. The materials required
are two squares of chocolate, one
rounding teaspoonful of butter, two
teaspoonfuls of vanilla extract, two
thirds of a cup of sweet milk and two
cupfuls of granulated sugar. Put the
milk, grated chocolate and sugar into
a new saucepan, boil and test as di-
rected; when done take from the fire
at once, let cool for a few seconds, then
stir in the fiavoring and beat until
smooth and creamy. If the saucepan
is set in a pan of cold water it will fa-
cilitate the cooling process. Spread the
mixture in a Swallowed buttered pan
and mark off into squares. Fig or nut

MASSAGE FOR ENLARGED
PORES. Forty-five)-With advancing
years the pores of the skin will enlarge
as the skin and muscles become re-
laxed. Scientific massage will take
away years of too apparent age, re-
storing vigor and elasticity to flaccid
muscles, and is we'll worth an effort to
obtain. If this is not feasible in your
location try home treatment for time
and note results carefully. Remember,
however, the old adage, what is one
mans meat is another's poison" and
do not expect too much in a short time
Keep at it persistently and results will
come so that the marks to time can be
held in allegiance. From your descrip-
tion i fear you have precipitated the
relaxed muscles by too many hot baths.
Scrupulous cleanliness can be overdone.
Two or three hot baths each week and

is not too great, sponge bath each
morning, followed by brisk rundown,
will assist in toning up the relaxed
skin. Use warm water, but no hot
water on the face and always rinse
with cold water. AS tonic add ten
drops each of alcohol and tincture of
benzoin to the rinsing water. Pure al
cohol diluted one-half is very beneficial
to contract the pores and may be ap-
piled once or twice daily If it agrees
with you, for all people cannot use it.
Massage the face daily after cleansing,
using cold cream.

touch on other styles is novelty braid,
vest of embroidered cloth or many
