Cucumber Lotions.

Recently I wrote something of the
efficacy of cucumbers as a cosmetic,
and since then SO plentiful has the
vegetable become that 1 cannot refrain
from giving more recipes for it's use, so
inexpensive and beneficial is 1t. 1 wish
to add here that all formulas for
cucumbers can be adapted to substitute
lettuce, the green leaves OF the latter
vegetable having virtues almost equal
to the first. Lettuce juice is obtained
like cucumber. by MASKING the vege-
table, or cutting it fine. after washing,
simmering with a spoonful of water
until the mass is pulpy. and then
straining through coarse muslin.
Cucumber or. lettuce essence is
stronger than the clear juice, so far as
astringent properties are concerned, and
is secured by adding an equal quantity
of high proof alcohol to the juice. 1t
cannot be used as freely as the juice
alone.
When the skin is irritated. without
being burned, cooling lotion can be
developed by adding to the juice as
much benzoin as will make the prepara-
ton milky. then pertaining with violets
or roses. This may be used as freely as
wished. More cleansing. and therefore
excellent after a motor or train journey,
is a wash made from an ounce of
cucumber juice, One-half ounce of rose
water and a teaspoonful Of powdered
borax 1t would be we'll to reserve this
as a cleansing agent, for borax left on
the skin may prove overdrying in eff
feet. The lotion might be removed with
the perfumed juice.
Cucumber cold cream is made from
two ounces of almond oil. one-half
ounce each Of spermaceti and white
wax and one ounce of cucumber juice
The second and third ingredients are
broken into a china cup set into boil
ing water, and as they melt the oil is
stirred in. The cup is removed from
heat and the cucumber juice slowly
dripped in, beating all the time. Should
the cream harden before all is in, the
cup must be placed in hot water again
for a moment. One-half drachm of
tincture of benzoin. put into the cucum-
Der juice first, will help to keep the
cream from becoming rancid. No
cucumber preparations keep long with
out benzoin, and it is better that they
should be made frequently, in small
quantities. Any cosmetics that are the
least rancid, when used, will do far
more harm than good.
The virtue of cucumber and lettuce
lies chiefly in the fact that they have
a certain percentage of arsenic, which
is whitening after repeated applications.
One treatment suggested for d1scol-
ored neck is to make long, thin slices
Of cucumber peel that the green may
be near the surface. These are bound
on the neck, juicy side next the throat,
and are left on all night.

BlACKHIIlS BO!LtRHOUSE
IS DAMAGED BY FLAMES
Mine Cable Parts After Being in
Fire and Permits Skip
to Drop Back.
FIRE is CAUSED BY FRICTION

Fire last night partially destroyed
the old boilerhouse adjoining the De-
troit and Onota engine house i'm Black
hills location and destroyed a portion
of the mine rope used in the hoist from
the II. Il O. engine TO the No. 10 shaft.
one section OF the old boiler house
was used for the Woodruff and Beach
engine but this was little damaged by
the flames.
II is supposed that the fire was caus-
ed by friction of the wooden pulleys
/ located in a pulleyway near the roof
Of the boiler house The flames broke
out at about 10 o'clock and gained
rapid Roadway. The structure had not
been used for some years.
Two general alarms were sounded
calling all OF the fire lighting equipment
OF the c. & II. company to fight the
flames. II is estimated that no less
than 5000 persons saw the fire AS
the building was a stone structure. the
flames We're confined almost entirely
TO the rafters and roof, these being en-
tirely destroyed. The walls, however,
did not crack and it is not thought
that the loss will be extensive.
The Woodruff and Beach engine, To-
Gated I'm the building destroyed is used
TO hoist from No. IL shaft. This was
not extensively damaged however. A
mine cable running from the ID. & O.
engine to the No. 3 and 10 shaft pass
es through the building and when the
flames broke out the skip was resting
at the bottom of the shaft No effort
was made to hoist the skip at this
time because Of the danger TO the
miners and trammers below. As soon
as hosting was commenced, the cable
parted and permitted the skip TO drop
back a short distance into the shaft. |
No one was injured but it will require /
some time to replace the cable. The
pulley stands which were Wrecked /
when the cable parted, will also have |
TO be replaced.
Freak Alarm is Sounded.
At about o'clock last evening an
fire alarm was sounded by the l
Calumet whistle. 1t was supposed that \
I fire had broken out at the No. 10 en-
CINE house, north of Albion location,
md as there is no alarm box located i'm
his vicinity, the telephone was used
o summon the fire fighting equipment.
md succession of short blasts were
blown by the Calumet whistle to at
ract the members of that department.
When the department responded, how
'ver, it was discovered that the fire was
n brush heap near the engine house
md that the building was not in dan
ger.

person who maintained any opposi-

possible. The engineers and viewers
reports we're adopted by the board
without change and the ditch will be

The main ditch of No. will start in
township AZ, range 26, and empty into
a brook in township AZ, range Is.
It will have several branches.
