A Woman's Compiexio "a.

1t is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallowness or greasiness
OF the skin by the use of cosmetics,
Or local treatment, as advocated
by the beauty doctors. The only
safe and sure way that a woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly son the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blosd, purifes the
complexion. 1t also cures consti-
patton, biliousness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A single
bottle of August Flower has been
known to cure the most pronounced
and distressing case of dyspepsia
and digestion. New trial size bottle

RULES FOR COURTSHlP.

Propose In Six Months or Let Girl
Dismiss You. Says a Priest.
The Rev. Edward Bernet of ST. Mich
olas' Roman Catholic church at Wilkes
barre, Pa, believes fifty-two hours
courtship long enough to enable any
young man and young woman to deter
mine whether they are sufficiently In
love to marry, says a special dispatch
to the New York World He would
spread the fifty-two hours over six
months.
Father Bernet explained his views OF
courtship recently in an address to the
young ladies Of the church, warning
them not to form acquaintance on the
street without proper introductions and
advising them to be careful in their
conduct toward young men. In effect
he said:
No courtship should last more than
six months.
Men should be allowed to call not
more than once week.
Calls should be limited to two hours,
between and 10 o'clock
If after six months attention young
man fails to propose marriage the girl
upon whom he Is calling should dismiss
him.

For Upright Writing.

A league has been formed in Paris
for upright writing, says the New York
Times. 1t takes as its motto a phrase
from George Sand: Upright writing on
horizontal paper with the body held
straight" The league crusades against
the English and American style OF
writing, slanting and angular, which,
it says, is no longer really taught In
England and America. Slanting writ
ing is said to cause short sight, 'scholi-
osis," and many other optical troubles.

No wonder the present social season
In New York is called one Of caprice
and novelty, for even methods Of Sc
lecting partners at dinners and dances
have taken new turn, says the New
York Press. One hostess keen for
newer things hit upon the idea Of In
PRODUCING mechanical toys as dinner
favors. But first they had to do duty
in another way. They were set in mo-
ton by the different women guests
and made their way in all directions.
When toy touched the foot Of a man
he became the partner of the sender.
There may have been heartburnings
when these tactless messengers selected
partners ''all wrong" as some Of the
guests said, but the plan formed an
amusing deviation from routine

MARK TWAIN ON MORALS.
HumOrist Insists There Are Two
Sorts, Public and Private.

Sorts, Public and Private.
Samuel L. Clemens Mark Twain,
who delivered a characteristic speech
the other night in Carnegie hall, New
York, at the celebration of the twenty
fifty anniversary Of the founding of
Tuskegee by Booker Z. Washington,
spoke as follows on morals:
"At Tuskegee they thoroughly teach
the student the Christian code of NOR
ais; that he should in all things be a
Christian.
Gall this is true, and no student will
leave Tuskegee ignorant of it. Then
what will he lack under this head?
What is there for me to teach him?
Why. this large fact. this important
fact-that there are two separate and
distinct kinds of Christian morals; SO
separate, so distinct, SO unrelated, that
they are no more kin to each other than
are archangels and politicians. The one
kind is Christian private morals. the
other is Christian public morals. The
loyal observance of Christian private
morals has made this nation what it Is
"a clean and upright people in it's pr1-
vate domestic life, an honest and hon.
orable people in It's private commercial
nfe
During 1853 days in the year the
American citizen is true to his Chris
tian private morals and keeps unde-
filed the nations character. On the
other two days Of the year he leaves
his Christian private morals at home
and carries his Christian public morals
to the tax office and the polls and does
the best he can to damage and undo
his whole years faithful and righteous
work. Without blush he will vote for
an unclean boss if that boss is his par
tvs Moses. Without conjunction ha
will vote against the best man in the
whole land if he is on the other ticket,
Every year in number of cities and
states he helps to put corrupt men In
office: every year he helps to extend the
corruption wider and wider Year after
country's political life, whereas If he
would but throw away his Christian
public morals and carry his Christian
private morals to the polls he could
promptly purify the public service and
make the possession Of office a high
and honorable distinction and one to be
coveted by the very best men the coun-
try could furnish. But now-well, now
he contemplates his unpatriotic work
and signs and grieves and blames ev-
cry man but the right one, which is
himself.
'Once a year he lays aside his Chris
tian private morals and hires ferry
boat and piles up his bonds in ware
house in New Jersey for three days,
and gets out his Christian public NOR
ais and goes to the tax office and holds
up his hand and swears he wishes he
Tnay never-neyer if he's got G cent In
the world, so help him! The next day
the list appears In the papers, and ev.
cry man In the list Millionaire and
member Of a couple Of churches. I
know all those people. / have friendly
and social relations with the whole OF
them.
"Mr. Washington, I beg you to con-
vey these teachings to your great and
prosperous and beneficent educational
institution and add to them the prodi-
gal mental and moral riches wherewith
you equip your fortunate proteges for
the struggle Of life"
