TAFT'S PRAISE
TO LEO XII
President Recalls Visit 10 Head
Of the Roman Church.
ONE or THE GREATEST THAT
EVER OCCUPIED THE CHAIR.

Washington, June IL. -Presi-
dent Taft gave a vivid mental
picture of Leo XIII. and de
clared that lamented prelate to
have been enc of the greatest
popes that ever occupied the pa
pal chair in the course of his ad-
dress before the congress of Rom
an Catholic missionaries in de-
scribing his visit to the vatican
a few yeasr ago, as the represent
tative of the United States in the
settlement of the Philippine
friar lands question.
81 had the honor of being re-
ceived by Leo Kill, !" said the
President, lone of the greatest
popes that ever sat in that chair,
and a man of such high intellec-
tual character, such broad abili-
ties, that / shall always congrat-
late myself on having had the
opportunity to come into his
presence and meet him.
Alert in Directing Church.
81 had supposed he, at ninety
two years of age, was a lay fig
ure, rather, at the head of the
chnVch, and that we should be
turned over to the cardinals who
really conducted church matters ;
but my mind was quickly dis
abused on that point, for as soon
as | was brought into his pres
ence / found a most alert old
gentleman, quick in intellectual
appreciation OF what was said to
him and intensely interested in
the subject which it was my
honor and my opportunity to
present.
after an address had been
made to him for some thirty
minutes, he responded in French
in fifteen or twenty minutes,
showing that he had caught all
the points that were made, that
he was fully alive to the impor-
lance of the issue and that he
proposed to have a good deal to
say about how that issue should
be settled"
Problem Settled Satisfactorily.
Speaking of the failure to reach
a definite agreement at Rome,
the President told how the pope
expressed his disappointment,
but that he delegated one of his
agents to the PHILIPPINES and that
the matter was.fnally adjusted.
The President added that the
question as subsequently, settled
was satisfactory to both sides,
$50 that there is not today in
the Philippine Islands as existing
question; no snake heads as
Governor Wright was in the
habit of calling them, thai can
rise to trouble either the civil or
church government in those Is

one hundred flights to Copenhagen,

five travellers each paying 1880,
would amount to $62,500. For in

The Question Of Expense.

Objection has been raised tina I
my airships are too expensive to al
low of their frequent use. Certainly
only few very rich men could use
them for pleasure; but the number
will be greater than those who can
purchase ocean going steam yachts.
An aIrship cannot be too costly,
however, which in all weAthers, by
day or by night, can inform the gem
eral or admiral Of his foes doings,
which can pass to the extreme from
tiers of the enemy's domain, and
thus materially assist toward nnal
victory. The fact is that the cost
liness of airships is much exaggerat-
ed the smallest warship, squad

CARE OF THROAT
Necessary to Prevent

The present fad of wearing extreme

feet upon the flesh on the throat I'M
less special care is given to prevent it
Because through stoppage of circula-
ton. a condition brought about by
high collars, a permanent dark mark
comes, and some remedy to obviate
the trouble must be employed 1t is
not expected that a girl will select a
neck dressing that is a misfit, but she
may take the happy medium OF one
that is not too close to her throat.
For example, If Is is the usual size, 1T
is the part of wisdom to take 1874
when the height of the linen is ex-
cessive 1t is precisely the same the
DRY that causes one to wear longer
boots when the toes are excessively
pointed.
In order to preserve its roundness
and softness the throat must have
some air and freedom of movement
AS soon as the collar is taken off at
night or even at noon, the throat
should be washed with warm water
and soap Then while it is still re-
Taxed from the hot application the
fingers may be dipped into cold cream
and rubbed vigorously over the flesh
where the collar top rubs, making the
motion rotary. Necessarily more work
will be required on this part OF the
throat than at any other portion, save
just under the ears. This last is a
place sometimes neglected because it
does not show in a mirror, but in point
of fact it is extremely conspicuous.
After finishing the cold cream ap-
plication it is well to mop the throat
with cold water to tighten the skin
and prevent f1abbiness.
If line has already appeared in the
skin a whitening cream to be subst1
tuted for the usual emollient is made
from two ounces of strained honey.
half an ounce of glycerin, half an
ounce of rectified spirits, one and
half drains of pure citric acid and
three drops of essence of violet. The
honey and glycerin are put into cup
and set into hot water to warm, so
they will mingle. The citric acid is
dissolved in the spirits, the honey re-
moved from heat, and as soon as the
mixture is cool the spirit added. This
may be freely used on the face or
hands.
When the line is old and very
marked a strong bleach may be re-
quired, but the one I am about to give
should be used with great care, apply
ing it to the line, letting it stay for a
few minutes and then wiping off. 1t

of mercury, four grams of sulphate of
zinc, five grams of tincture of camphor
and $50 grams of distilled water. 1t

poison if taken internally. 1t should
not be used oftener than at night and
in the morning.

FOR SA9L0w-HUED
Diet and Dress Are
! Things Worthy Of the
Highest GoDsfd-
@ra2foDe

The lucky poSSessor of a peach and
cream complexion need not bother her
head about what she wears or what
she eats, but the girl of orange hue
must consider both dress and diet if
she would not resemble an exhumed
mummy or lump of saffron.
The sallow girl should look to her
liver rather than to powder for light
ening her complexion A half lemon
In a glass of water, morning and eve
ming, and several quarts of plain wa
ter between will paint the cheeks bet
ter than the rouge pot
Coffee must be cut of the sallow
girls list; so also should strong tea
and too much chocolate Rich foods,
too many sweets, and above all hot
breads should be Stunned.
Fruit, in season and out, is the boon
of the yellow hued. Stint on every
thing else before you cut down your
allowance of oranges and apples from
the daily menu. The only possible ex-
ception in the fruit line is seedy ber-
ries, which are often too acid and
clog the intestines.
Quite as important as diet is be-
coming dress. Some girls with a skin
like a clay bank persist in wearing
ecrus, puppies and green's.
Reds can generally be worn by the
sallow girl; most shades of blue, and
above all, a soft rose pink. The fancy
for brown which is prevalent with sal
low women, while better choice
than ecru, does not give enough con-
trast unless high lights are there in
whites
White never fails to be becoming,
as it seems to clear up the muddiest
skin; it must be pure white, how
ever, without a tinge of cream.
The woman with olive complexion
will find the narrow line of black vel
vet ribbon that is now worn with eve
ming gowns a positive boon. The
black well up against the face-the
band should be worn high on the
throat-tends to whiten and clear her
skin and makes possible a frock of a
bad color.
Gold beads should be charity worn
by the sallow girl. Certain tones of
gold are hideously unbecoming, though
the pale lemon tint Is not out of the
question.
One cannot lay down hard and fast
rules as to color. To say blue is be-
coming does not mean Alice or porce-
lain tintS, nor does the same shade or
blue look we'll on every sallow person.
There is but one way to definitely
know what can be worn. Test it in
every light Do not trust to your own
Judgment, but have with you an I'M
biased friend who is honest enough to
say what she thinks.
Let no clever person tempt you by
fattery into thinking you can wear
with impunity colors that would try a
milk and rose skin.

Our idea of religion is plain. We

We prefer to convert by the exercise
