One Searcher After Beauty Tells of
Her Experience.
81 wish the papers would quit pub
fishing these articles that tell you how
to be beautiful" says young matron.
Il was fairly content with myself till
I began to read them. l had an aver
age good skin, too, but I've steamed it
and creamed it and massaged it till
it's a wreck. I've been for two weeks
trying a new beautifier for it. I've
been rubbing my face with slices Of
onion. 1t makes your eyes water, and
it gives you an unattractive perfume,
but the article said it would produce
the soft, velvety skin of child, and
kept it up. Yesterday my husband
rose in his wrath.
"'What on earth makes you rub your
face with onionY he said Wouldn't
limburger cheese do for a change
Why wouldn't potatoes or asparagus
do as well? Does it have to be onion 2
1T does l said.
"'You'll have to show me- said he.
Let me see the article that turned your
brain. l don't believe it says onions.
l believe it says any vegetable you
happen to have in the house
''This made me furious, and l brought
out the article. What do you think it
said? 1t didn't say onions. 1t said Gu
cumbers. l knew it was something
you put vinegar on. That's how hap
pened to get mixed. After this I'm
going to let my face alone, but 1 shan't
hear the last of that onion beautifier
till l die" Washington Post

PEACE IN FAR EAST
is ALMOST ASSURED
The World Pleased At the Ap.
pointment Of M. Witte.
STRONG ADVOCATE FOR PEACE
1t Is Now A Recognized Fact that the
Peace Party Has thev Ear of the
Czar-RussIan secur6Ds Advance
on Strength of Appointment.

st. Petersburg, July 14.-M. Witte's
appointment as chief Russian peace
plenipotentiary was announced today
in the Official Messenger in the follow
ing words:
Owing to the serious illness which
overlook M. Muravieff on his arrival
in st. Petersburg, which made it inn
possible for him to familiarize him
self with, at such short notice, the
considerable material connected with
the negotiations, his majesty, the EN-.
peror has been pleased to appoint pres
ident of the committee of ministers,
Witte, to the post of chief plenipoten-
tiary. Spontaneously all parties re-
cognize that M. Whites selection
makes for a successful termination Of
the peace negotiations. The mere fact
that the emperor at last yielded to the
pressure for M. Witte's appointment IS
accepted as being a complete assur
ance that his majesty is sincerely de-
termined to end the conflict and make
peace, if possible basis is obtainable
Every influence which championed
M. Witte was for peace while, on the
contrary, those who opposed him were
for prolongation of the struggle.
France, through Ambassador Nelid-
off, strongly urged him for the post,
but the main credit for M. Whites Sc
lection belongs to Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff, who never ceased to press
for his selection. Count Lamsdorff
and M. Witte are now in close alli-
ance."
M. Witte had prolonged audience
with the emperor at Peterhoff this af.
ternoen at which the whole subject OF
the peace negotiations was gone over
in detail. The difficulties of the sit
uation was freely discussed and indi.
cations were given that his majesty is
more apt personally to govern M.
Whites course than the formal instTuc-
tions which have been given him.
M Witte will leave ST. Petersburg
next Wednesday for Paris, sailing as
previously announced from Cherbourg
on July 2G on the North German Lloyd
steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse.
Nine. Witte will accompany her hus-
band as far as Paris, where she will
remain for the present, though she
may possibly join M Witte later in
the United States.
M. Whites personal solicitation M.
KOrOtoVitz, one of the ablest young
diplomats who formerly was secretary
of the Rupssian legation at Paris, will
be attached to the Russian mission.
Stocks rose on the boerse on the
improvement of the Russian secures
abroad, due to M. Whites appointment
as chief peace plenipotentiary Accord
ing to information received here, ia
pan intends to claim the island of SAX
halin by right of conquest and it's for
NAL cession will be one of her unal-
tera1le demands.
The government has issued another
$5,000,000 in paper roubles, the whole

recovery. No details have yet been

necessary by mishap several years

severe blow on the head by accident.
A swelling developed, but surgeons
were soon able to determine that it
was not of cancerous growth and not
in the least likely to have any perma-

Many inquiries, it is said, have come

ton to all of which there has been re-
turned the answer that everything was
