TEMPER BEAUTVs ENEMY.
a Calm and Placid Manner and Way
Of Looking at Life Conducive to
Growth Of Physical Charm.

Temper has much to do with the de-
struction Of q fine and delicately tint
ed skin. You are familiar with the
: woman Who becomes pale with anger
or purple with rage, yellow with dis
appointment or green with envy.
The pallor. the purple patches, ana
the jaundiee are apt to become liked
and q woman whose complexion con-
sists Of a scheme Of color In which
these tints predominant, distinctly
bears the color imprint OF the sere,
the yellow leaf.
= A bad complexion is sometimes the
outward and visible sign Of a bad tenn
per. hence serenity is to be cultivated
as an aid to natural beauty. says a
writer In the American Queen. Wor-
rying about household matters and
servants is to be avoided at all cost
as tending to accelerate the fading
of June's roses from the cheeks OF the
not too youthful. and the temptation
Of the active minded. always to be
doing something. must be 5 renuously
resisted.
Unless you have plenty of rest and
relaxation, both Of mind and muscle,
your mirror will soon b-gin to cast
reflections on your face and tiny little
wrinkles will appear one by one, as
the stars come out on q sumner
night. But when soft slumber aliures
thee" be careful not to sleep with the
hand under the cheek. as this certainly
tends to numb and wrinkle the skin.
Another point to attend to Is not to
allow the jaw to drop when you fall
asleep; this is apt to foster the appear
ance of lines on either side of the
mouth.
Undoubtedly bad temper is not the
only enemy OF beauty, but also the
first cause of many nervous disorders,
and many of the ills that follow bad
digestion.
Who has ever seen a really happy
woman with an unwholesome looking
skin? Worry, continuous fretting,
envy and righteousness not only wear
the face with ugly lines. but destroy
the foundations of the eaUre constitu-
ton.
Therefore beware, and use the only
solvent remedy Cultivate calmness,
courage, cheerfulness, amiability ana
affection, and as the sun drives the
fogs of night before 1t, so the ugiiness
will give place. If not to beauty, then
to charm.

THE LADIES ALL BOWED.
A Social Custom Of Uruguay That
Led to an Amusing I'm
position.

How different the social customs OF
Uruguay are from those of Great Britain
was we'll illustrated by a story related
by a South American visitor, says Cas-
sells.
He told how a young Canadian went
to Uruguay to join a friend from the
United States, who had spent some
years In Montevideo, the capital.
The Canadian was much struck by the
friendly terms which his friend seemed
to have established with the fair ones
Of the place, and rallied him upon the
fact. The American calmly replied that
he knew every lady in the city!
This struck the Canadian as q decid-
edly tall" statement, and, his friend
volunteering TO convince him on the
point, the two set on for jaunt through
the capital.
In the course Of the walk the pair met
several hundred ladies, all Of whom &C
knowledged the Americans salute with
Q bow and q smile, and the Canadian ad-
mitted himself convinced.
And his wonder was intense until he
learned that he had been q victim Of q
Uruguayan custom under which any
gentleman who bows to . lady in the
street receives an answering bow of
recognition whether she knows him or

long will II take?'
"If a man In New York stops to
have hts shoes polished, he asks the
boy: How long will II take? Now,
unless that man has been living the
life Of a tramp. he knows how long 1t
takes to polish shoes; but 1t has
become second nature to him to ask
the question.
when he goes to the barber for a

And IL it is not done quickly enough

LAST YEARS SHIPBUILDINc
Was the Poorest Season in This Coun-
try for the Last Six
Years.

Shipbuilding throughout the world
Is at its lowest point for the last six
years, according to the figures made
public by Lloyd's Register of British
and Foreign Shipping in a special cir
cular, and according to these same
figures the year was the poorest in the
United States for the same period. In
Great Britain, there is a slight gain
over last year, the low-water mark
since 1897, and this despite the fact
that the largest steamships are now
under construction.
All this applies to the merchant feet,
and war vessels are not considered in
these figures. In the latter respect
the showing by the United States for
the last year-the launching of ships
aggregating 171,OOO tons displacement
has never been equaled with but one
exception, the year 1901. when 10000
tons of British war vessels were put
overheard.
With q decrease in building mer-
chant vessels in the United States for
the last year Of $4,000 tons. as COM
pared with the previous year. the
enormous falling on is accounted for
in the decrease recorded on the Great
Lakes, which, from an average of 163.-
600 tons for the years 1901-19O3.
dropped to $4,000 tons in 1904. Yet
the largest steamship-the Augustus
B. Wolvin, OF 6.5S5 tons-ever built on
