Preserving Youth.

Sleep Is great preserver OF youth
Eight hours at night and a short nap
during the day will do much to keep
the face free from wrinkles. Always
sleep with the bedroom window open
few inches at the top, both in sum-
mer and winter. A daily morning
bath, tepid in winter and cold in sum-
mer, with brisk rub to follow, will
keep the skin fresh and clear. Two
hours must be passed in the open air,
walking, riding or playing games. All
tight clothing must be avoided. as COM

Point for the Traveller

An excellent suggestion Is that made
by a woman to take down the number
Of railroad ticket when travelling. If
1t is lost or the conductor on a certain
division takes it up by mistake there is
good proof that the ticket was bought.
An incident occurred which proves the
value OF the suggestion. The conduc-
tor on one division took up a woman's
ticket, and on the next division the
ticket was demanded. She explained
the situation and was able to give the
number of the ticket The conductor
telegraphed back and verified the
claim, thus sparing the traveller much
trouble and Inconvenience.

Value of GroominR.

Nothing so accentuates fading love

wonderful what a little careful groom
ing will do for woman. Let her
touch her eyebrows with vaseline to
bring out the luster, let her battle her
lips with aromatic toilet water, dust
her wan cheeks with a bit of pink pow
der, have her hair dressed in girlish,
dainty way, and 10 there is the light
of inspiration and sweetness that is
most delightful and bewitching. There
are good and bad cosmetics, sane and
insane ways of identifying. Choose
the right road, then go ahead, and you

chop off a year Of your life every
twelve months, instead of hitching one

stand for an hour, which will loosen

suds made Of pure soap and rain

cloth and polish with a piece of white

NOT MUCH BOSSlSM IN THIS.

In statement published in the
Baltimore American of Monday
last, made by Hon. Sidney +.
Mudd, in an interview on the pre-
vious Saturday, and attested by
his signature, he tells in a simple,
straightforward way the story of
the proceedings of the recent Re-
publican convention which he has
been accused of bossing. In the
first part Of the interview he nails
a carnard attributing to Hon. VIM
H. Jackson a declaration that
Sidney and me had the votes to
nominate anybody we wanted
Having seen the publication of this
alleged declaration he wired Mr..
Jackson to know whether he had
made it, and received, both by
wire and by mail, a positive denial
of the story. He then gives cor
roborative proof of the truth OF this
denial.
Following this he shows that
Mr.. Jackson strongly desired the
nomination of Mr.. Goldsborough;
that his preference was in that
direction, but that upon arriving
in Baltimore he reached the con-
clusion that the majority of the
delegates to the convention, unin-
tiuenced by any one, had concluded
that Mr.. Gather was the strong
est man with the Republican vot-
ers of the State; that the sentiment
of the Republicans Of Baltimore
was overwhelmingly in Mr.. Cath
er's favor; that both Collector
Stone and Mr.. Wachter agreed in
that sentiment, and that Mr.
Goldsborough also reached the
conclusion just recited and acted
upon it by withdrawing his own
name and putting Mr.. Gather in
nomination before the convention.
Mr.. Mudd futher explains that
instead of favoring the renomina-
ton of Mr.. Parran for Clerk of the
Court of Appeals he had advised
that gentleman to be a candidate.

vention was practically unanimous
