The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1910-04-12
BY Marquis de Castellane.

PARIS, April 12-Joan Paul Lau-
rens, one of our very best painters,
has just finished a picture of the bat
tie which gave America her indepen-
dence. The surrender of Yorktown
is a chapter of history dear to French
men and Americans alike. And this
is the subject of Laurens' great paint
ing.
General Washington is, of course,
the central figure. On the right is
our own Marquis de Lafayette and on
the left Rochambeau. All three are
on horseback. General OMeara, on
foot, surrenders his sword to Wash
ington. The relocated English So
diers, guarded by the victorious Am
orleans, form a noteworthy part of the
picture. To the extreme right stand
the brave French, commanded by La
fayette and Rochambeau.
In the Palace of Versailles there is
famous water color of this scene 1t
was painted by Van B.arenberghe,
and American visitors love to linger
near it. 1t is said Jean Paul Laurens
made a careful study of all the de-
tails of this picture before painting
his own.
The surrender of Yorktown will be
exhibited this year in the Salon of the
French artists. The city of Baltimore
has bought the picture

HINTS ABOUT THE HOME.

1t is hardly worth while to remind
you that you should have protected
your complexion all during the sum-
mer. You have found that out for
yourself by the aid of more than
truthful hand mirror and an evening
gown. There is but one thing to do
get busy. 1t is always a pity for a
girl to be so reckless OF consequences
as to allow her face to become tanned
very deep. There is wrought some
permanent injury to the skin which is
beyond repair. 1t will grow thicker
with each years layer Of burn till age
will find the roseleaf complexion of
youth giving way to the leathery
wrinkles which are the nightmare of
the up to- date woman. Remember
that, another season, and lay in a
full supply of toilet creams and auto
mobile wells And use them, too!
If you find small blackheads appear
ing just remember that that is dirt
plain and simple. The dust clogs the
pores. aided by the natural oils of the
skim and before you realize 1t you
have wrought damage to the COM
plexion which will take long time to
cure Bathing at night in very hot
water with a springy, firm, complexion
brush and pure soap and then rinsing
first with hot water and then with
cold to which has been added little
benzoin, will be the only way TO repair
the damage. Creams-made at home
and therefore pure should be used
freely during the day as a cleanser
Creams are the best protection against
the rayages of sun and wind that you
can use. dubbed in thoroughly and
then carefully wiped off till no shine
Is left. dust of powder over all, and
the danger is greatly reduced. 1t only
takes a moment of time and does
world Of good.
For bleaching, peroxide Of hydro
gen is ono Of the most effective. 1t
should be diluted one half and the
lashes and eyebrows, as well as the
edges of the hair should be untouched.
otherwise there will be bleached hair
as we'll as white skin.
A cucumber cream which will whiten
and soften the skin is made OF
spern1aceti, one ounce, white wax one
ounce oil OF sweet almonds ten ounces,
Juice Of cucumber three ounces. A
few drops of oil Of rose geranium
will make the cream sweet and few
grains of sodium borate will keep 1t
from becoming rancid and also whiten
the skin.
The hands must be washed thor
oughly every night and should have a
soaking In warm olive oil to keep them
young looking. Rubber gloves will
help the housewife and there should
also be kept a pair of loose kid gloves
to wear at night. If the hands are
rubbed with a whitening cream and
the gloves worn for a few nights

THE DAILY MENTAL MENU
Assimilation and Elimination OF the
Contents of the Bic News-
paper.

The meal is prepared for one per-
son; the menu for many persons
Now, the newspaper is not a meal; 1t
is menu. It is not edited for one per-
son but for many persons.
Not for "the mass" or 'the
Masses" that is a corroding supersti-
tition. There is no mass" to read
a newspaper--only individuals. But
into the newspaper there is put
wide variety of things because there
is a wide variety of persons In the
world this year.
The man who wants only bunch
Of grapes and a little tea and toast
for breakfast cannot understand the
individual next him who is OF huski-
ness, who demands buckwheat cakes,
sausages and pie; yet the hotel must
take In both.
So must the newspaper.
The art or newspaper reading may
be divided into two parts elimina'
ton and assimilation, the st. Louis Re-
public says. No one individual not
concerned in the making of newspa'
pers has any business with the whole
paper. The reader should select what
concerns him in the days news and
pass by the rest on the other side.
Failure to do that leads to the read
ing of much more than can be read
carefully. Result: Misty impressions
and vague, purposeless thinking. The
real news of the day for any one hui
man being is contained in not more
than dozen "stories;" choose the
dozen that concern you and concen.
trate on them. Don't try to cover
everything in the paper-not even
everything on politics or sport. There
are 20 different oyster dishes on a
good menu, but to get enough nitro
gen to keep from starvation a man
would have to eat Ia dozen day.

Dust In the Eye.

If dust or other foreign substance
blows into the eye do not rub the eye
nor endeavor to remove the irritating
intruder for moment or so. Close
the eye, holding the lids together with
the fingers until the tear duct begins
to work. then open the eve and, un-
less the dust has caught fast to the
ball, it will be washed out by the
tears. Those who ride often in open
cars or through dusty streets should
wash their eyes before retiring with
a solution of salt and water or boracic
acid and water, a teaspoon of either
the salt or the acid being added to q
glassful of water and bit of abb
sorbent cotton or the fingers used for

WORK ON new BUILDING
Crookston Marble Co. Let's Contract
for New Structure 1t Is Erect
ing on Front Street.

s. The Crookston Marble & Granite Co.
Crookston, Mimi, which will invade
the Fargo and North Dakota field, have
begun work on the erection of their
new building at First and Front streets.
The structure will be one story with

feet frontage on Front street and the
entire front will be of plate glass; Civ
ing the company plenty of room to
show their line of marble stones. j. V.
Godfrey of Moorhead has been awarded
the contract for the cement work and
Contractor Schlanser will erect the
structure.
When completed the building will
cost over $4,000 and will be one Of the
most complete of it's kind in the north
west. The large plate glass frontage
will allow the firm to show its stock
OF monuments to most excellent ad-
vantage The company will install a
complete outfit in the Fargo house for

New Materials.

The needleworker who is tired to
death of the same old linen and can
vas for fancy work will welcome the
new and attractive materials which
have been brought out this year for
the working of such articles as pill
lowslips, table covers, centerpieces and
boudoir sets.
One of these is an ecru fabric, close
ly resembling rep, but cross-ribbed
with a much finer cord. The ground
is the color of unbleached linen, but
1t has irregular Iengthwise stripes of
darker ecru shade.
Another material is apparently
rather loosely woven, but is kept firm
by the arrangement Of the cross
threads in a honeycomb weave. Still
a third has a slightly irregular plain
weave.
Soft white canvas cloth in a basket
weave is another novelty, and so is
brown linen for the purposes of en-
broidery.
All OF these materials may be had
plain or stamped in various designs at
any notion or fancy work shop, and
offer endless possibilities for the larger
and freer forms of embroidery.

Curious spoons.

At the present time we are familiar
with all manner and shapes of spoons
intended for divers purposes, but some
of the old-fashioned ones are certain.
" curiosities For instance, there is
the long, marrow spoon, used a couple
decades ago for the extraction of mar
row from bones. This spoon was made
double, one end being employed for
small bones and the other for those
of larger bore.
Another odd spoon was used for
uulberries. This had a perforated
bowl, and with this little sugar was
sprinkled on the berry, which was
then, conveyed to the mouth on the
spiked end of the handle.
Very few Tablespoons are seen
these days. Teaspoons OF the old type
have long since gone their way, and
with them disappeared the caddie-
spoon. The snuff, candle and pap
spoons have long since gone out Of
use.

Brush the hair every night for as
long time as you can spare. Toss it
out till it is thoroughly aired and rub
the scalp with a soft cloth If it is in

to wash it oftener than twice a month.

DIFFERENCE IN THE RACES
Mexicans in the Main Unjust In Blaming Americans for Lack
 of PoIiteness.

All the Mexican correspondents who have written on the subject of why Americans are not better liked by MeXicans agree that it is largely question of a lack of politeness on the part of the foreigner here, and in some cases an ill-concealed contempt. The latter is ineXcusable and certain ly must emanate only from incOnsid- crate or poorly educated persons. from which no nation is free. Politeness, however, is largely a matter of form and training. It is undeniable that the Anglo-SaXon salutations, methods of expressing thanks and apprecia- tion, etc, are simpler and shorter than the Latin forms. To many who have all their lives been accustomed to the briefer Saxon ways, an attempt of the more elaborate Latin poiiteness seems. for them, nothing short of af- fectation, and they simply cannot do 1t. There are exceptions among Amer jeans and Englishmen who readily adopt the courteous phrases of the Mexicans and use them naturally, but they are the exceptions. And 1t is difficult to see how this can readily be changed. Our Mexican friends should understand, on the other hand, that if Anglo-Saxons do not, as a rule. go through as many social formalities as the usages of the land prescribe, they mean no offense thereby. They are accustomed to taking good many things for granted that their Latin cousins give verbal assurance of Naturally, it Is the duty of the outlander to conform as nearly as he can to the ways of his adopted coun- try, but human nature and settled habits are pretty hard to make over particularly unless you catch them while they're young g.-Mexican Her a1d
