The American Beauty's Defects.

IT we were to lind particular fault
with our American beauties dominant
In thc public eye to-day, it would be
their lack Of facial strength, the alb
sence of soul quality which our
strenuous national life and feverish
ambitions tend to nullify if not annihi-
late. The nobility of countenance,
the calm, pure, steadfast expressions
seen in the faces of the great sculp-
lures might we'll be emulated by our
own beautiful women. We lack the
simplicity, the repose of the period
that produced those beauty types that
have been accepted as a standard for
all ages. The American girl, with all
of her glorious qualities, needs some
of the serenity and power of old
Greece to make her more perfect than
she is. Her facial weak points are in
her nose and chin and forehead. Now
and then one comes upon the strong
type, but it is the eXception.-Perri-
ton Maxwell, liz the Bohemian.

PUSHED HIS INQUIRY TOO FAR.
Discovery That Brought DisiIlusion-
ment to Austrian Emperor.

Regarding the public agitation for
baths in elementary schools in Aus
tria, story is going the round of
court circles Of a recent experience
of the emperor. says the Pail Mall
Gazette. His majesty was visiting a
school in a small country district A
local official, anxious to impress the
sovereign with the progressive ideas
prevailing in the community, called
his attention to the fact that the
schoolhouse was provided with baths
for the pupils.
The emperor showed the liveliest in
terest, and Immediately asked to see
the bathroom, whereupon the director
of the school looked extremely un-
comfortable. The key could not be
found for some time, and his majesty
began to get impatient. Finally it was
produced, and the eager official opened
the door.
The emperor stepped into a VERT
able lumberroom, filled with a choice
collection Of broken desks and chairs
and waste paper that completely hid
the bath equipment.
The emperor stepped quickly out
again, and as he did so was heard to
murmur: Serves me right. Why was
so nquisitive? "-Youth's Compan-
ion.

Two Bucks with One Bullet.

Jay Bowers, Of this city, has re-
turned home from a months hunting
trip in Humboldt county, wit a rec
ord of having shot two fine bucks with
one bullet. One was a forked horn
and the other three-pointer. One of
the animals weighed 1874 pounds
dressed.
That two deer had been killed with
one shot was not discovered until one
of the animals was being dressed,
when the bullet was found to have en-
tered it's right side, while Bowers as
serted he had shot the animal on The
left side. An investigation brought to
light the second deer lying dead close
to where the first had been found.
Evidently they had been standing
close together when Bowers shot,

"Time, the Great Healer"

A doctor who had treated a patient
for long time without giving relief
finally wrote to him that he could do
no more, and that tempus edax rerum
was the only remedy. The patient i'm
mediately went to drug store and ap-
piled for the remedy. The druggist
gave him bottle of some kind Of mix
ture and charged him large sum for
it. After the patient had taken the
compound for some time he met his
doctor and thanked him for the won
derful prescription, which had cured
him. The druggists trick was dis
covered and the patient sued him for
the money spent on the bogus medi-
cine.
