Beauty Hints.

Lemon Juice and glycerine is good
to soften and whiten the hands.
Butter milk is a good wash to re-
move tan.
After long drive or day on the
water, do not wash the face in cold
water, but rub it we'll with cold cream
or if that is not at hand, sweet cream
from milk is every bit as good. 1t
will soothe and cool the skin.
The girl who has been struggling
yainly with the dingy brown line on
the neck. the result of high and tight
collars, should use pumice stone. Ii
rubbing the stone and soapy water
on the neck is too hard for the skin,
try mixing powdered pumice with
cold cream. Finish the process by
washing with latKr of white soap.
Pumlce stone, powdered, is good
cleanser for the teeth, removes the
tartar and keeps them white and
clean.

make a speciality Of supplying films
pushed it's enterprise little too far
Wishing to depict tragic episode
with something of It's real horror, 1t
arranged for the photographing OF
scene which was to end with the
crashing of horse and vehicle over
preclpice, and to this end it was quite
prepared to sacrifice an ancient We
hicle and an equally ancient horse.
A suitable precipice was found at
Greix, in Brittany, and everything was
got ready for the picture, but the pop
uIace, hearing Of what was going on,
and feeling disguised at the cruelty
which was involved to the animal,
bounded the cinematograph operators
frem their quiet resort
The operators, however, simply
moved on a few miles, this time to
Ploemeur, and at this spot the horse
and vehicle were made to dash over
a precipice, photographs Of the spec
! tacle being taken. The morse was u
course killed and the vehicle smashed
to pieces.
When it was all ovsr the police ap-
peared and served summonses on
| those concerned.
For a long time the summonses could
not be heard, the operators having
gone to Africa to find another sensa
tional picture. Finally, however, the
case came on before the Lorient police
court, and the judge, whose comments
were more caustic than the punish
ment, inflicted the maximum fine pro
yided by the Grammont law, when
however, was only matter OF three
dollars.
The cinematograph company was
declared responsible for the costs
while the photographer who actuali'
took the photographs was acquitted

If any money was forthcoming. When
ordered out, he shot Man2ella in the
breast
AS Man2ella fell be drew his re
yolyer and fired at the assassin, Du'
1t has not been definitely established
that the bullet found its mark YounS
Joserhine Manzella had rushed into
the store at the first shot, and, draw,
ing her revolver, gave chase TO the
assassin, firing at him as she ran.
When the police arrived the girl
was bending over the dead body OF
her father, weeping. The dead BODY

For Beautiful Eyes.

The first point to understand is the
importance of good general health.
Eyes require daily attention, fresh
air. cleanliness and even exercise.
Nine hours sleep night In we'll
ventilated room is a splendid eye med
icine.
To cleanse the eyes. open them while
the face is half submerged in a basin
of cold water. Cold water Is an excel
lent tonic for both eyes and lashes.
For exercise, move the eyes upward
and downward and from side to sidS
with the head held we'll up and per-
fectly still. =,
This strengthens the muscles which
raise and lower the eyebaiis ana
brings to the eyes healthy supply on
blood
Large-type books, good light ana ., q
qood posltion when reading are ail
cases OF that prevention which is tns
best cure.

Charlton Is Spreading Rapidly.

Lake Charles.-Cattlemen of Cal
casieu and Cameron parishes whose
herds have been decimated by char
bon are ind gnant at the lack OF IN
terest alleged to have been displayed
by the state authorities, it being as
serted that although the disease has
been creating havoc for more than
two months not single representa-
tive of the state government has VS.
tied the territory involved to aid Ill
exterminating the disease. Cattle are
dying by the hundreds, and what
makes the situation even more threat
ening is that the plague of mosquitoes
practically make it impossible for MI
mans to go out On the prairie to burn
the carcasses of the dead stock. the
result is that the disease is spreading
despite the energetic work of the
stockmen themselves.

Linoteum.

AS floor covering linoleum Is one
of the most satisfactory.
Do not use soap suds for scrubbing
a floor as it Injuries the Varnish, ma

there is plenty of milk there is moth

If milk cannot be used entirely add

Linoleum will last much longer If 1t
is given good coat of varnish every

Interest in the Panama Exposition

New Orleans.-In recent edltorldi

THE good people Of New Orieah"

ment relax their interest in the Pan
ANA Exposition. 1t should be now
one Of the foremost objects Of pubic
interest. and the active efforts OF the
gentlemen who are giving so nlucA
of their time and talents towards It's
promotion should be heartily seconded.
OF course, the most important feature
Of the enterprise at its present stage
is to raise the necessary money. III
addition to the proceeds OF the Speclhl

the million dollars previously sub
scrtbed, there is further sum OF
two and a half millions. which is al
ready in course Of being raised.
I'VE must have $7,500000 and per-
haps S10,O00,000 to stage the eXpoSI-
ton properly. The nations Of Europe
will put about $8,000,000 in struc-

has loaned several Of them the mon

ment for a loan, but we cannot DO
that now. Just at present we want
recognition from the government as

This exposition will be one of the
