SATIN EtTES row BEAUTY

During recent visit to Paris Of Laura
Guerlte, who is ranked among tho beau
tlful women Of the American stage. she
heard OF a new beauty treatment which
Is called the satin bath. and which Curl
osity prompted her to investigate.
There were two weeks OF heautfynE
and found it the most delightful oXper-
fence 7 ever encountered" said the act
ress, The first work was done with a
fine sandpaper. After being thoroughly
secured with this, number of electric
brushes and pumice stone were brought
into use. when one gets through with
the treatment the com pleSion IS as fine
and clear and bright as haby's, and
the texture is OF the softness OF velvet.
1t IL said the treatment was used by
Egyptian women centuries ago. I sup
pose most people will have their Joke
about the satin baths, but one Of the
chief aims of womanl;ind is to he beau-
tiful. and IL the sandpaper and pumce-
stone treatment win accomplish some
thing toward producing beauty, why
not try it?"-Harriet Qulmby in Leslie S

The disclosures made by Miss Ida M Tarbell as to Standard Oil methods and by Tom Lawson as to the Ann a!gamated Copper CO, reveal the mo- dus operandi by which John D. Rocke- feller and H. H. Rogers became inn mensely. wealthy. The former retir- ed from business activities several years ago and still lives; the latter re- tired about two years ago from con- nection with the management of Stan dard Oil but continued a potent fac tor in Wall street, and died oh Wed nesday from apoplexy. Whether the care of his millions, and his efforts to increase them, hastened Mr. Rogers death, cannot be positively determin- ed, but it is probable that the burden was heavy, and that his life might have been prolonged by as nearly a complete abstention from business ac- tivfties as MT. Rockefeller has put in practice.
 Of courses, MT. Rogers will be miss ed, principally by Wall street and the great corporations under his virtual control To the general public, there will be simply one less multi-million- aire.

A Losing Dream.

'T made nice idiot of myself the other morning" said the commuter, who is paying teller in savings bank. My wife was afraid I'd miss my train, and she, got me by the shoulder and shook me, telling me that it was time to get up.t got about half awake, and, somehow, I thought I was at my win dow in the bank with a long line of women awaiting their turn. The one at the window was handing me a check, and, from force of habit, said:
 How much money do you wantr
 You know. most women who present checks want to draw some and deposit the rest. Well, what do you think the wife did? Quick as a flash came her answer to my 'dopy' question:
 Five dollars will do.'
 'She got 1t, but hope won't dream any more."-New York Post.

~rhe Delight of AIankind.-

Titus, the Roman emperor, was enti- tied ''the delight of mankind" Titus benefcence was unbounded, and it so happened that during his brief reign there was the most urgent need of its exercise. In the first year occurred the great eruption of Vesuvius, over whelming Herculaneum and Pompeii and ruining numerous other towns and villages. The next year a fire broke out in Rome, which ragged three days, causing great destruction, and in the tracks of these calamities followed a dreadful pestilence. Titus dealt out gifts with lavish hand to the houseless and -uined sufferers. He even despoil- ed the palaces of their valuable orna- ments to obtain money for distribu- ton and schemed and planned to fur nish occupation for them.
