Among the things not TO DO let me
first caution you against eating toe
many sweets. The candy habit Ia re-
Bponsibe for most of the hateful
pimplcs and the sallOw skin that girls
so much dread. When | hear that
much OF a schoolgirls allowance goes
into the cu2fectoner's money. drawer,
| need TO know nothing more. Foe
many chocolates, too much fudge, too
many bonbons. and our young lady
viii have rOughness and redness in
stead OF cream-tints and rose-leaf deli
cacy.
Avoid hot breads, coffee and tea,
and delicious pastries and tartS. Good
roast beef, vegetables, SOUPS and des-
serts OF fruit are recommended to
those who would like a skin clear
grained. soft and fine.
Don't wear a veil. A schoolgirl
does not need to cover her face from
the wind or the sun.
Don't wear corset while you are
q schoolgirl, Dress loosely and light
ly all the time, just as you do when
you wear a gymnasium suit. 1t 10
worth while to make a note OF the
fact that red nose and tight cor
set are often found together.
II you have trouble in winter from
chappcd and frosted skin, try u.s.
Ing a good cold cream every n'ght
rubbing It In with gentle massage.
And girls, neither now. nor a. any
time in your future life entertain the
idea that you can make your complex.

touching it with any cosmetic. 4
good skin Is the outward sign IT IN
ward health, as have said, and IN
the result Of good s,orp. regular eX.
ercise constant bathing, and a 5000
digestion. Some girls have TO take
more care than others TO insure
really fine skin, but the rule Is that
when a girl Is wholesome, strong and
cheeriuly well, her complexion WI
be beautiful.

Expert Smokers.

The japanese are experts on smoke
rings, and 1t is said in Japan 1t is con-
sidered no uncommon trick to blow
three rings Of smoke In succession, the
second travelling through the first and
the third through both. Some stage per-
formers are credited with becoming SO
expert in smoke blowing that they are
not only able to multiply the number
Of rings thus made, but actually form
japanese characters representing words
and sentences. One Japanese juggler,
II is declared, proposed to his wife by
forming the characters representing
his avowal OF love through a thin
stream OF smoke.

The big elephant Is one OF tho best
ring performers, but he has always
been steady In the street parade, with
the light of Asia on his back. We got
to the edge of town and stopped TO let
the rear wagons close up, and were in
front OF saloon where the bartender
had been emptying stale beer out of
the bottoms of kegs into washtub,
which was standing on the sidewalk,
ready to be sold to people who buy 1t
In pals.
Well, sir, that COMPOUNDED elephant
got his trunk In that tub Of stale beer,
and he never took II out till the beer
was all gone. looked down from the
pagoda and told IA the elephant was
drinking again. and had drank wash
tub of beer, but pa couldn't say any
thing, cause he was doing the Arab
sheik act, and had to look digni6ed, as
though he was praying to Allah.
But just then the band struck up,
and we started down the main street
OF Steubenville. The people began
to cheer, cause our elephant began to
hippity-hop, and waltz sideways
across the street and back again, and
| thought pa would die. In the parade
one man on horse attends 10 the ele-
plants, so the sheiks don't have any
thing to say, and pa remained like o
statue, and told me and the Clrcassan
beauties to be calm, and trust II. him
and Allah. This Allah business was
all right when the elephant waited
but when we got TO the next block the
beast began 10 stand on his hind feet,

The Best Time.

Cows that freshen in the spring pro-

when prices are low; whereas those
that come fresh In the fall produce the
bulk Of their yield when prices are
high. Here's a simple statement of
fact known to all dairymen; but-how

a complexion has n great deal to
do with Eirlish beauty For one
thing, 1t is an index to your health,

with red spots or the ugly things
called blackheads, disGEurc any girl,
and spoil the effect OF regular fca-
lures, as a blOtch or blur would spoil

There are a few things to do, and a
few not to do. If you would have a
nice skin, and a good color and be
free from boils, pImplcs and insight

pcnsable to a good complexion is a
bath from head to foot every day. he
best time for this bath is in the morn
Ing a. soon as you rise. Wash thor.
oughiy every inch Of the body, and dry
with a rough towel, so that the frlc-
ton will bring a warm glow to he
surface, a tub-bath is not necessary
a sponge bath is quite as good If YOU
have no tub.
Some girls fancy that soap must not
be put on the face. This is an old
fashioned prejudice. Everything de-
ponds on the soap, which ought to
be OF the best quality. In a t,ilet
soap 1t is wise to purchase a deltc1te
variety, not of the very cheapest.
either Wash the face thoroughly
every night at bedtime with fine roam
and tcpid water, rinsing it well and
removing the lather, and drying it
with soft towel. Once a day is jften
enough to use soap on the face. but
this one using should never be
omitted
Blackheads are acCumulations of
dust aud dirt In the pores of the skin.
To press them out with n watch-key.
or to fuss with them at all Is very
foolish. A little cold cream may be
applied after the thorough washing
with soap, but this Is seldom neces-
sray. A schoolgirl whose face is
really clean will have no blackheads
to bother her.

of the sun on fair skin, and no one
should be worried over them. II

ORIGIN OF THE WORD souase
First Used at Antwerp, Belgium. Many
Centuries Ago.

Already. in the fourteenth century.
there was building at Antwerp. Bel
GUM, set apart for the meeting OF
merchants and brokers and known as
the bourse
This word originates from the city
of bruges, which, earlier than the
fourteenth century. was known as the
Venice OF the north, being at that time
one Of the most important commercial
centers of Europe. In this ancient
city the merchants met in an open
square upon which was the residence
OF a family by the name OF Beurse.
The same merchants were in the
habit Of meeting periodically in other
commercial cities. and Tor conven.
fence they gave the name OF Beurso
to whichever place was chosen for
their gathering This was finally cor.
rupted into Bourse, and the latter
word was adopted far and wide.r even

VOLUME OF TRADING
SNALL;;STR0HG MARKET
Week in Chicago Wheat Pit
Closes With Firm Tone;
Small Offerings.

CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-SmalI receipts
IN the Northwest caused strength today
in the local wheat market At the
close the December delivery was up

showed gain Of &c. Provisions were
212c to 712Ml0c higher.
Trading in the wheat pit was of
small volume, but the tone of tue mar
ket was quite strong. The irmness
was due largely 10 scarcity of offer
ings. The market was bullishly af-
fected by continuance OF light move
ment in tho Northwest, notwithstand-
ing favorable weather conditions. Re
ceipts today at Minneapolis and Du-
luth were only 564 cars, while the cor
responding day year ago arrivals
amounted TO l1l5 cars.
Reports Of damage by wet weather
IN the Southwest helped to strengthen
the market. and shorts were the prin-
cipal buyers. The close was strong
December opened o shade to 1s@Ac

75A a754Sc and 752a@75Mc, and
closed at 1880.
4 firm tone prevailed In the corn
market, but trading was lifeless. Little
disposition 10 sell was In evidence. and
this accounted mainly for the frmness.
The close was firm. December opened
unchanged to shade higher at 1850
