A Geman.s Complexion.

It is rank foolishness 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 tho seat of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly on the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blesd, purifies the
complexion It alss cures consti-
patton, bilieusness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A singls

A PRONUNCIATION PUZZLE.
Test Yourself by Reading Aloud This
Little Story.

est IoATSStI OJ POSA~'S
Little Story.
The following episode" will
prove very clever puzzle as test
of the ability of people to pro-
nounce readily and correctly many
common words:
An interesting inquiry took place
in the court Of oyer and termlner
some time ago. Indisputable evil
dence was given toward proving
that a heinous incident had taken
place during a public pageant. 1t
seems that pretty girl, rather
juvenile in appearance, having an
extraordinary head Of hair, like an
Albino, represented Thalla and sat
on a pedestal erected on one OF the
floats. The procession was direct
ing its course down the mall when
the attention of the onlookers was
drawn to the excited conduct of one
of the spectators who had fixed her
eyes upon the tiara, set with jewels
in the form of carat, which Thalia
wore upon her head as she sat in
what seemed to be her wonted atti-
tude of nonchalance and leisure.
This person was afterward shown
to be a maniacal laundress whose
suualor and detestation and hldeous
grimaces were all unnoticed by the
mock goddess. What vagary babe
this reptile turn her servile eyes,
full of rapine, on the beautiful
maiden it is hard to say, but sud
denly, under pretense of seeing
something on the ground, she pro
duced a hiatus in the crowd and
thus obtained precedence of all.
simultaneously with her appear
ance the van drove past. She then
filled the air with gross raillery and
began to promulgate anarchism, So
ciety's lack of probity and the gen
eral prediction of politicians for
patronage.
Then she besought her audience
to hear her dilate on the glaciers OF
the Alps, the ruins of Pompeii, the
female franchise, the Pleiades and
her patron saint. She was evidently
demented, and the flow of her voca-
bles appeared endless. Suddenly
she raised a pestle which had been
hidden under her shawl and threw
it directly at the visor on the girls
head. Thereupon a flaccid ithog-
rapher who was cutting swath as
tribune on the following van
grasped a seine and threw it over
the gaunt old bag, so that her eff
forts to escape were futile, and she
became as docile as a lamb. The
pathos of the affair lay in the way
the girl bore the ordeal. In court
the virago gave an alias instead of
her own name. Her defense was
that vaccine, whose presence was
shown by a scabious arm, together
with desuetude in the matter OF
personal freedom, had produced an
obsession which decreed the irrevo-
cable death Of the girl. An in
ventory of her belongings was made,
and she was then sent to an asylum
as a victim of acute homicidal
mania.

Making Sure.

A man was recently being tried
for murder, but the evidence against
him was so weak that the judge di-
rected the jury to find verdict of
not guilty and notified the court of
his intention to stop the case. But
the youthful counsel for the defense
wanted the opportunity of becoming
famous. He asked permission to
address the court.
Certainly, Mr.. Cantspout," re-
marked the judge. "We'll hear you
with pleasure. But first, for safe
tvs sake, well acquit' the prisoner"
