Considerable interest is being man
ifested in naval and military circles
on the northeast coast by the instaila-
ton at the drill hall of the First Dur
ham Royal Garrison artillery volun-
teers at Sunderland of a model sea
range for artillery practice, says the
London Express. A stage at one end
OF the hall is covered with silver sand
TO represent the sea, and by means of
an endless belt driven by a small
electric motor model ships are made
to sail" over the stage in a realistic
way. At the other end of the hall is
battery consisting of two four-inch
guns. A miniature rifle is attached to
each gun in such a way that it fol-
lows the aim. The rifle is fired, and
the effect is most realistic. If the shot
hits the sea" sand splashes up like
water. while II ship is hit it sinks
out of sight. The range is being used
to the great improvement in the gun
nery OF the men of the corps.

For the COMPLEXION.

1t often happens that a change in
ones toilet soaps and powders will
benefit the skin. When pimples ap-
pear again and again and the entire
complexion seems to be thick with
blackheads and postules. it is high
time to go to a specialist and have
the diseased tissues properly healed
by means of massage and the proper
applications and treatments. In the
long run it will not cost any more
than experimenting with lotions and
ointments. Keep the digestive or
gans active. drink a great deal of
water, battle the entire body every
day and keep the finger tips away
from the eruptions. Open the pos
tules and apply hydrozone. Twice a
week battle the face with green soap.
Don't use cold cream or anything oily
while the acne persists. What Is
needed is some drying application like
spirits of camphor to dry the poison
Gus liquids and to cause the old skin
to shed itself in tiny particles.

NO CHARGE FOR 1T.
The Laundry Man Gives the Bachelor
Man Little Lesson in Nerve.

When 1 came to open my bundle

man, Il found in It. sent back washed
but not ironed. one shirt that had
pinned to 1t a ticket reading like
this:
We are returning this shirt on ac-
count Of it not being in a condition
to Withstand ironing.
Ihis was a new one to me, but
when L came to open up the shirt and
looked 1t over 1 didn't wonder that
they hadn't tried to iron 1t; one arm
was all but torn from its socket and
there was hole punched through one
cuff, with a tear extending from this
hole for an inch or two up the sleeve.
The shirt was sure not in condition
for ironing, but how did it get so?
L certainly never sent it to the
laundry in that shape. I'd have had
hard work tearing the sleeve out of
the shoulder the way this one was
torn, and l couldn't have made that
hole in the cuff without some sort of
sharp and big punch. Clearly the
shirt had been torn and mangled in
that manner by being caught in the
laundry machinery, and so l wrapped
it up in a neat little bundle and took
1t over to the laundry office, intending
to make claim for the value of it. 1
spread the shirt out on the counter
and called the clerks attention to il
and told him that 1 couldn't have torn
the shirt in that manner, it must have
been done in the laundry, and how
about it?
WELL says the clerk, we made no
charge for it
AS the full significance Of this
came upon me-they had torn my
shirt all to pieces. but they didn't

Missouri Mystery Cleared Up.

Thousands of hogs in southeast
Missouri are fattening on a crop that
was planted II years ago-a crop Of
17-year locusts.
Since early spring the hogs of the
farmers in this section have been get
ting fat on something they found in
the woods, and each farmer secretly
wondered whose corn crib his pigs
had found, for they came home each
night not squealing for their food, but
only to sleep; and every day they
brought home a layer of bacon and
lard added to their once lean and
hungry bodies.
The rail splitters" of South Mis-
souri, and Arkansas were fast being
turned into prize Berkshires and
Polands by what or whom the farm

when the GOODS were filled with the

Family Reunion in China.

No people on earth observe family
ties so closely and hold so many
family reunions as the Chinese. The
Scottish clans have no closer bonds
of union than the families in China.
In America 1t is the individual, but
in China it is the family No i'm
portant step is taken without a fam.
ly caucus. If one member goes
wrong, the disgrace rests upon the
whole family to the remotest degree
of relationship. The disgrace often is
felt so keenly in case Of & heinous
crime that the offender is taken away
by permission of the courts and the
death penalty inflicted by members
of the family. That's the way the
family purges itself
The feature in the family life in
China is the big reunion once every
two years. One member of the fam
lily acts as secretary and enters in
a big book the new additions to the
family. In this way is kept a COM
plete biography of every person in
China.-Kansas City Star.

BalIoonists in the Sea.

1t is not little remarkable that al.
though scores of balloons have been
driven out to sea cases in which this
misadventure has ended fatally are
few.
More than a century ago. when Mai.
Money made an ascent from Norwich.
England, he was compelled to descend
IN the sea, where he remained for
seven hours until his plight was seen
and he was rescued by the crew of a
revenue cutter. Some years later. in
1872, James Sadler narrowly escaped
drowning in an attempt to cross the
Irish channel; his balloon dropped
into the water some miles off Liver
pool and he was on the point of sue
cumbing when rescue came in the form
of fishing boat.
In a similar attempt a Mr. Crosbie
was saved when almost in extremis
many miles from the English coast.
Lunardi, in 17S5. nearly lost his life in
the sea OFF Edinburgh, and in the same
year two aeronauts. in an attempt to
cross the English channel, had also a
narrow escape.

ServiceabIe Couch.

To a 36-inch-wide bed spring legs
are fastened with bolts. Pieces of
2x4s II inches long will do for the
legs.
l used the lower parts of an old
bedstead, says a correspondent On
this spring place a mattress the same
size. Cover mattress with a table
oilcloth which is large enough to tack
firmly on sides of bed springs This
keeps out the dust. On the back side
of the couch drive in a row of nine
carriage knobs.
For the cover use four and one
sixth yards Of ingram carpet. Sew il
together, making it one and one-halt
width of the carpet wide. The piecing
will not show under the pillows. Fin
ish front edge and ends Of cover with
rug fringe. Face the back edge and
in this facing work button holes to
button the cover on the carriage

Indian Princes Jewels.

When the steamship Arabia arrived
at Tilbury, England, recently, four
cases of undistinguished appearance

ployed by tourist agents. Each man
guarded his case with particular care,
never releasing his hold upon 1t dur

On arrival at Liverpool Street sta

charge, entered a van, sat on their
cases, and were driven to Ludgate cir

The mysterious boxes contained the
