Watermelon Makes Face Fair.

Beauty doctors are telling remark
able things about the results Of rub
bling the face, neck and arms with
watermelon rind after exposure to the
sun or wind. As economical girls
don't care to waste the fruit, there is
an increase in tho eating Of melons.
A maid may keep her complexion In
good shape and at the same time
give pleasure TO her callers. Another
expert says nothing is so good for
sun bllsters as to apply slice of
ripe tomato. The Juice must be
rubbed in thoroughly and the veget-
able must be bound In place This
use OF the daily supply OF vegetables
for lotions instead Of food may cause
rebellion among the men OF the fam
lily, but they should be pacihed when
they see the fair skins Of the femi-
nine contingent. Another complexion
doctor advises the use OF fruit juices
as a morning drink instead of salts
or hot water.

KNEW pRowEss OF AMERICANS.
Courier WASTED No Fish Stories on
the Masters Of the Craft.

A well.known New Yorker a bit OF
a globe.trotter. tells OF courier he
once encountered In Switzerland
while a member OF party OF Ameri-
cans and Engllshmen.
On the way over the St. Gothard
Pass for some distance the train
moved along opposite a tremendously
high precIpice. over which tiny
stream flowed. almost losing Itself In
mist before reaching its course be
low. The courier. an extremely Intel
ligent and clever chap, was entertain
ing the party with a recital OF that
streams peculiarities Later one OF
the party, an Englishman. told the
others a story concerning a certain
species OF fish In the stream to the
effect that. when It came to the edge
OF the precipice. II would curl Itself
up, put It's tail In its mouth. and roll
down. for all the world like hoop.

Yorker who tells the story. why

With a shrug Auguste replied: Il

II Palestine Is not precisely a land

according 10 the consular report OF
DIR. Dickson, Just issued. II Is par
tlcularly fertile In oranges, which II
exported TO the value OF eli4.6bO last
year. chiefly to Scotland, the trade,
we are told, being steadily Increasing
Wines and spirits. too, are becoming
important, the Jewish colonies dis
playing considerable activity In the
cultivation OF the grape. which was
very abundant last year. Water
melons are also plentiful.
The total value Of the imports and
exports Of Palestine last year was
GS2l 800. Consular reports are some
times curious In the way they lump
trade together. We find Consul Dick
son saying: "As regards other ar
tlcles OF export. there was an Increase
in religious ornaments and hides IL
may be noted that II Is the Ameri'

Diamond Mine in United States.

Somewhere in the United States
there is diamond mine. The United
States geological survey is convinced
of this. But where? Nobody knows
Diamonds have been discovered in the
United States in four different and
separate regions, but all were In loose
and superficial deposits which gave
no intimation of whence they had
come. In 1903 $50 worth OF native
diamonds were discovered. In 1900
the output was 500; the year before
$3.50. But this past year no native
diamond was found.
Meantime the United States is i'm.
porting diamonds to the amount of
millions of dollars a year.

SUMMER CiTARRH
Hot Weather Seems TO Have Bad
Effect Upon Some People

1t is generally recognized 10y ply
sicians that many people suffer more
with catarrh during the summer than
in the winter The hot, dry weatLe
and the change from the hot days to
cool nights seems to have a bad effect
upon the disease.
Even after the usual methods of
treating catarrh have been unsuccess
full, VIM L. Gokay guarantees that he
will refund the money If Hyomei fail
to cure the disease. This seems so fair
and reasonable tina: it should induce
all catarrh sufferers to take the treat
ment.
In many instances Hyomei has cur
ed catarrh when the patient has suffer
ed since childhood. Quite a number
of people in Bennington who for years
have been unable to get a good nights
sleep on account of the disagreeable
tickling and dropping at the back OF
the throat, have obtained quick relic
from few treatments of Hyomei and
the continued use has made a complete
and lasting cure.
There is no stomach dosing when one
uses Hyomei. Simply breathe its med
icated air through the pocket inhaler
that comes with every outfit and all
germs will be killed and the mucous
membrane will be healed.
The complete outfit costs S1.00, extra
bottles SOC. Remember that if Hyom-
eli does not cure, VIM L .Gokay will
return your money.

Rules and Exceptions.

To say that the exception proves

word exception" is understood in its
usual modern meaning. Even one
exception does not enforce belief In
a rule but detracts from 1t, however
slight Its effect. But 1t is quite true
that exceptions prove rules, In the
sense OF putting them to the test or
proof. II the rule Is well grounded II
is left all the more worthy of accept
alton because 1t has been subjected to
the investigation brought about by
exceptions which challenge its valid.

UP MONT BLANC BY TROLLEY.
Electric Locomotive to Draw Two FOur-Ton
Cars.

The summit Of Mont Blanc lies at an altitude
OF IA. $50 feet This great height has consid-
cradle influence upon the conditions Of construc-
ton of the electric line especially as regards
the barometric pressure and the temperature. 1t
is found that the speed must be limited so that
the change is not too abrupt, as this would be
dsagreeable for the passengers. There is a fall
of 25 degrees centigrade in the temperature from
Fayet, the starting point of the line to the sum-
nit Of the mountain The proper rate is about
s degrees an hour for the passengers, so that
the speed has TO be limited to 1000 feet an hour
for the climb. 1t will thus take about four hours
TO reach the top of the mountain. That the
Mont Blanc electric is shortly to enter upon the
phase of construction is evident from the fact
that the government has recently adopted the
project Of Vi. Duportal. general inspector of
roads and bridges and has awarded the con-
tract for building 10 CouvreX g. Deraud.
According to the Duportal project. the line is

AS to the road construction, IL IS found that
this will be comparatively easy TO carry out. as
the track can be laid up the side OF the mountain
for the most part, and only a few cuts of fills
will be needed. The road winds up the sinuosi-

According to the project the trains will be

Of four tons each. These cars are to hold eighty
passengers in all, and the whole train. when
fully loaded, is to weigh thirty-ive tons. The
capacity Of the locomotives is TO be 15O-horse-

TO build it of brick. That would have required
thickness of twelve fifteen feet of masonry at its

was called into consultation He proposed that the
huge chimney be built Of concrete and. with some
misgiVings, the plan adopted. He prepared
foundation six feet deep, twelve by twelve of con-

concrete shells upward for 100 feet. The outer
IS only nine inches in thickness, while separated by
four inches of space from this is inner shell five
inches thick. At height of 100 feet these unite
reached.
