A >ysman.s Complexion

1t is rank foolishuess to attempt
to remove sallowness or greSsiness
of the skin by the use of cosmetics,
or local treatment, as advocated
by the beauty doctors. The only
safe and sure way that 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 on the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blosd, pari6es 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

Watch Crystal Making.

The process Of making the watch
glasses is more or less 9 secret, as is
also the construction of the ovens,
but it is known that the glass is
blown into large spheres or balloons,
after which it is baked and anneal-
ed. Skilled workmen then cut out
the glasses with diamond point,
after which they are ground to the
proper sizes. The ovens are very
expensive to build, costing not less
than $4,000 each, and their opera
ton is so difficult that one of the
firms found it cheaper to have their
balloons made by the oldest man
ufacturers who were more expert,
than to make them themselves st.

CARRIAGE HORSES.
Development of the American Type
Rests Largely With Farmers.

Since the Inauguration Of work for
terial of carriage horse which would
breed true to type. has come move
ment to establish classes for such
horses at the national and state fairs.
The sentiment for this has grown rap
idly during the past year, and such
classes have been added to the pre-
MUM lists of fairs in Iowa and Ken
lucky, states from which large num-
bers of American carriage horses are
marketed On their own initiative the
the Kentucky state fair at Louisville
and the Blue Grass fair at Lexington,
KY, have offered prizes for American
carriage horses for the season of 1907.
A uniform classification has been
made possible by a cooperative ar
rangement between the national bu-
reau of animal industry and the Ameri-
can Association of Trotting Horse
Breeders. The classification was work
ed out by the committee on heavy har-
ness horses of the association.
A cordial reception of the classified
ton by the horse press and managers
Of fairs is reported. Among the earli-
est to adopt the classification for 1907
were the interstate fair held in Kan
sas City and the Kansas state fair
held in Hutchinson.
Farmers Breed the Carriage Horses.
The adoption Of the classification by
state fairs is especially urged by those
interested in it for the reason that the
state fairs are in the closest touch
with farmers, that the farmers, are the
breeders of most Of the carriage horses
sold on the American markets and that
the value of the American horse for
carriage purposes is rarely appreciated
by the farmers who breed them. Hun
dreds of horses are sold annually by
farmers at really insignificant prices
which after some months of finishing
and handling are sold as carriage
horses at prices up into the thousands.
Furthermore, there is continual sale
OF stations to supply this trade. These
horses are usually Of only moderate
value as speed producers, but are of
excellent carriage type. If kept entire
and properly mated they could be of
inestimable value as foundation sires
Of the American carriage horse.
When the farmers appreciate the in
trinsic value of the native light horse
for carriage purposes and recognize
the worth of the stallion with good
conformation and quality, but only
moderate speed, as sire Of carriage
horses the problem of fixing the type
will be one of early solution.

A Daisy.

"You are daisy" is used by
Dickens in David Copperfeld" in
the sense of calling person daisy
in the way to express admiration
and at the same time to laugh at
ones credulity. Steerforth says to
young Copperfeld: David, my dai-
sy, you are so innocent of the world.
Let me call you my daisy, as it is so
refreshing to find one in these cor
rupt days so innocent and unsophis-
ticated. Ny dear Copperfeld, the
daisies of the field are not fresher
than vou."

ANo1AER EARclcAL TRIAL.

The merit of the jury system as
tribunal of fair, unprejudiced and alb
solute justice between man and man
is getting some pretty severe and we
fear unsatisfactory tests in recent
times. In Virginia a man goes free
for killing another for the alleged
wronging Of his daughter, and oppor'
tunity was denied the friends of the
dead man to prove that the girl was
lying when she told her father thai
she had been drugged and assaulted,
The chances are in our opinion that
she simply took little too much
whiskey and when called to account
for her condition she manufactured
story as a sort of come of for her
actions. But, no matter, young man
lost his life by being with her and
the father was acquitted Of the charge
of murder by a jury Of his peers. Now
Maryland comes to the front with a
pure, unYarnished case of justifca'
ton under the "unwritten law" a
woman and her son deliberately kill a
young man for wronging a daughter
and sister. The fact that the law pro.
vides what is considered suitable pun
lshment for such an offense had no
influence with the jury. They took the
law into their own hands and set the
slayers OF the young man free, some
OF them, It is said, having stated be-
fore hand that they would have done
just as the accused did under the
circumstances. Many other cases
might be cited TO show how sentiment
instead OF justice secures verdicts in
important matters. After all, juries
are only human and very human some
times, and are easily played upon by
sentiment. In such cases they forget
the law and their sworn duties and
decide upon the grounds of feeling, al.
lowing the accused to go free becau, g

JUDGE MAsoN,s posITIoN.

The West virginian is looking with
very jealous eyes on the papers out
side Of Marion county which are at
liberty to say so many things about
candidates for governor. We are EN-.
barrassed beyond measure by the pro.
fusion Of men in Marion county just
the size for gubernatOrial honors and
necessarily we have but little to say
on the subject. People wno know how
hard it is to keep out of such things
realize the West Yirginian's embar.
rassment. But now to the. point. The
events Of the past few days have been
of unusual interest as all who have
been reading the papers know. Pres.
ton county Republicans launched a
boom for Ex-Governor A. B. White for
governor and a committee Of Monon.
gala citizens asked Judge Mason to
give an answer. The Wheeling Intel.
ligencer called Judge Mason last night
and asked him about the numerous let
tiers he has been receiving and his at
titude on the question of becoming a
candidate. The conversation as re-
ported by the Intelligencer was as fol-
lows:

governor" said Judge Mason. ~
