Obock is French possession on the

The earl of Crawford is adding to
his laurels by calling at the islands of
Tristan da Cunha in the capacity OF
mail carrier. One thousand miles west
of Cape of Good Hope, isolated as they
are, the barely 100 inhabitants Of this
group of islands will appreciate the
favor done them.
It looks as il John p Green, United
States postage stamp agent, will be
minus a job one OF these days, the re-
cent reorganization of the post office
department leaving nothing for him
to do. When the next appropriation
is made there is no salary in it fol-
a stamp agent. That work in future
will be under the stamp division.
The public is warned against writ

the face of pictorial cards intended
for parties in the Netherlands. The
Dutch postal law provides that in case
there is writing on the face Of the
card the recipient is fined in the sum

with writing on the face is regarded
as q letter underpaid and the rule OF
assessing double postage applies. The
same rule also applies if the words

THE FAD FOR

(Copynght, 1%o, by Joseph B. Bowles.)
Dear Stan: There's not a word OF
truth in it, as telegraphed you, and
don't read the papers. If you could
see the headlines: what the New

and my picture in fencing clothes
oh, don't look at single paper until

To begin with, why did you leave
me? Why, did you leave me in the
care of your dear little chum?"
Early Tuesday morning he sent over
from the hospital with note asking
me to so with him to see sherlock
Holmes" Well, we went.
There's lots of high lights and lots
of inky darkness in that play, and it's
play where you want to watch the
stage every minute; but right, in front
of us sat Amy Wilmot. You remem-
Der she was the girl who fenced with
me in the tournament last spring; the
one who was so angry with: the
fencers for something Crawford said
about a foul thrust. She's gone on
the stage, and is to lead in new
company.
She wore black hat with three
enormous plumes, so that neither Her
bert nor could see at all, and we
couldn't change our seats, and she re-
fused to take it off.
Finally Herbert wrote on the mar
gin of his programme: How much
longer are we going to stand it," And
wrote back: IF had a pair of scis-
sors I'd cut them Off,"
Well, just then the lights were
turned down in the house and on the
stage, and I felt Herbert lay some
thing heavy and cold in my hand-a

+ Among the things not to do let me
first caution you against eating too
many sweets. The candy habit is re-
sponsible for most of the hateful
pimples and the sallow skin that gir.s
SO much dread. When i. hear that
much of asschool-girls allowance goes
into the confectioner' money drawer,
l need to know nothing more. TOO
many chocolates, too much fudge, too
many bonbons, and our young lady
will have roughness and reoness. 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 a corset while you arg
a schoolgirl. Dress loosely and light
ly all the time, just as you do when
you wear a gymnasium suit. it is
worth while to make a note of the
fact that red nose and a tight cor
set are often found together.
If you have trouble in winter from
a chapped and frosted skin, try U.s.
ing good cold cream every night,
rubbing it in with gentle massage.
And girls, neither now, nor at any
time in your future life, entertain the
idea that you can make your complex
ion fine by busting it with powder, OF
touching it with. any cosmetic. A
good skin is the outward sign of IN
ward health, as have said, and is
the result of good sleep, regular ex.
ercise, constant bathing, and a good
Digestion. Some girls have to take
more care than others to insure a
really fine skin. but the rule is that
when a girl is wholesome. strong and
cheerfuly we'll, her complexion will
be beautiful.

Nobody saw it done. Amy put her

the feathers were gone. Well, Her.
