Treatment for Black1leads.
Dear Miss Doom:

Oehr MISS doom.
WAL you kindly tell me what is good
for removing ~blackheads? l have some

dirt which have lodged in the pores of
the skin. The best treatment and the
best preventive are absolute cleanli-
ness. This cannot be obtained by
simply washing the face with soar and
water, but must be the result of treat
ment, followed faithfully every day.
No matter how tired you are, do not
fail to give the face it's nightly bath.
First open the pores of the skin by
using hot water, a good pure soap and
a complexion brush. Then massage
the face for fifteen minutes with
greasy cold cream, rubbing it well into
the pores. Remove the cream with a
soft cloth, wash the face again with
hot water n soap, and then with
warm water to which a few drops of
benzoin have been added. Finally
close the pores by bathing the face in
cold water. 1t is good to steam the
face once or twice a week. This can
be done by putting cloths in hot water
and applying them to the face. This

R~ENOvATING PAINTINGS.


Often the beauty of a painting is lost
because it is so thickly covered with
dust. To remedy this follow these sug-
gestions:
Brush the painting free from dust
and wash the canvas with water, u.s.
ing a sponge. Now take a piece of
shaving o and rub it ove the entire
painting, leaving it on a very short
while. Scrub off with a brush, and
when it is thoroughly dried, rub the
canvas with a piece of linen which
has been dipped in ben2ine. Do not use
this too freely, however. If the paint
ing appears dull, a little olive oil will
benefit this. A coat of thin colorless
varnish is now applied, which protects
the painting and keeps it bright for a
long time.
To brighten a gold frame, boil some
onions in water until soft, mash them
fine and use the fluid that is extracted.

heads can be easily squeezed out.
The green soap treatment is also we'll
recommended for blackheads. The
preparation consists Of two ounces of
distilled witch hazel and two ounces of
tincture of green soap. Let the mix
ture remain on the face for a few
moments and then wash off with hot
water. Do this every other night. as
the SOAP may ~irritate the skin.
The cream you mention is a patented
article, and, therefore, without the
realm of discussion.

TO WASH IRISH CROCHET.


Irish crochet is one of the few laces
which appear equally as well after
washing as before.
Have a basin of moderately hot suds
made with a pure white soap. Stretch
the lace on a board and scrub with
a soft hand brush. using plenty Of
soap. Rinse the lace thoroughly until
every particle of soap has disappeared.
Have the last rinse of blue water, and
if the lace is discolored, allow it to
bleach, dipping in water each time it
is hung in the sun.
When ironing use an unusually
heavy pad, covering the lace with a
thin piece of muslin, to prevent soil
from the irons. Iron until perfectly
dry.

FOOD FOR BABY.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
by A PHYSICIAN.

"what shall we feed baby?" is a
question that every mother must face
when the time comes for weaving her
child,
The answer is: Feed baby mostly
milk mixed with barley water in three
to one proportion, and add for variety,
with caution, a little beef soup, swell
back, mashed potato and butter, OF
prune juice. Don't feed anything that
requires chewing to a newly weaned
child.

New Way To Danish
All Hairy Growths
(Modes OF Today

modes OF To-Day
Many people will be interested in the
new and simple manner in which hair or
fuzz Is removed from the face, neck or
arms. This consists of making a paste
with ordinary powdered delatone and
water and applying to hairy surface.
After two or three minutes rub it off, wash
the skin and every hair has vanished.
Druggists will charge you a dollar for
an original one-ounee package of delatone,
but 1t is well worth its cost, as IL is both
painless and harmless and seldom requires
the second application to remowe even a
stubborn growth.

NORWAY BOASTS
 WOMAN STATESMAN

Copenhagen, April 15.-(Special.) )-One of the most interesting figures in Nor
 way just now is Broken Rogstad, the
 only woman member of the Norwegian
 parliament. Miss Rogstad made her first speech in favor of the army estimates.
 She spoke in clear forceful style, show
 ing a remarkable familiarity with a sub iect which Is generally held to have lit tie attraction for women. She said she | hoped the time was coming when military institutions would cease to be, but she | felt that the estimates under discussion were only such as were demanded by | the necessity for self-preservation, and she would vote for them.
 | Norway, she said, was not too small | a nation to lead movement towards general peace and arbitration.
 | Arbitration is not the only world policy
 in which Rogstad thinks Norway may af- ford an example to Europe. In educa- ton. in the elevation of the states of women. In the relations between capital and labor and the improvement of the
 condition of the working classes, the lit tie northern kingdom, she is confident may become a model for the rest of the continent.
 Norway is an ardent admirer of all
 things American. I met MT. Olaf Berg Strom of Minnesota, who has Just re-
 turned from an extended visit to his na
 tive country. He said: America is cer-
 tainly the land of promise for the enter plsing young Norwegian. There Is an
 unconquerable thirst for information concerning our country and I was cer- tainly called upon to deliver informal
 lectures on America and things American all the time I was in Norway. The peo- rle are pretty well posted already, but they were anxious to get more intimate

Night Before Lees Surrender

In Harper's for February, Maj A. R. H. Ranson gives an interesting account of the scene at General Lees head
 quarters the night before the sur render when he was stil determined to strike one more blow.
 When I arrived at headquarters, General Lee was in a tent, sitting with General Longstreet on some bundles of rye straw (the ground being wet from the rain), at the upper side of the tent with one candle for a light. l made my report, and the general told me to wait, as he wished to see me. He asked me If I had had anything to eat and I told him no. He said he was sorry he had nothing to offer me. He gave me a bundle of straw and told me to sit near the door. It had been raining all afternoon, and I was quite wet. I was also very tired, so I put my foot through the bridle rein of my mare stanking outside, and lying down on the bundle of straw, was soon asleep.
 "I was awakened by voices and, looking up, saw the colonel I had left | in charge of the troops at the bridge standing In the tent. He reported that the rations had not arrived and the starving and discouraged troops had all deserted in the darkness, leaving their arms in the trenches. General Lee
 
 and then with a wave of his hand dis missed him. Turning to General Long street, he said This is very bad That man is whipped. It Is the first time I have seen one of my officers who had been whipped. Ii Is very bad The conversation between the generals was then resumed in low tones, and I again fell asleep. I must have slept for some length of time, when I was awakened by General Lees voice, speaking in loud tones louder than I had ever heard from him. lie was saying, Gen eral Longstreet, I will strike that man a blow in the morning. General Lee sometimes spoke of General Grant as
 that man. and of the federal army as those people
 General Longstreet replied in low tones, giving the strength and condi- tion of his command. and the strength and position of the enemy, and con cluded by saying. But you have only to give me the order, and the attack will be made in the morning. Again

BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL BOOKS
 FOR SPRING READING

| die finding out that she had been a fool
 and 1t would be beautifully written and | full of nature and just like life, and | could not bear it. Such books are written for the hard-hearted to melt them into a softer mood for once before they congeal agafn-as much music Is written-not for poets. but for stock jobbers to wiring tears from them for once that is the use of sorrowful art to penetrate the thick hide of the obtuse." If this be your opinion this story is not for you
 If, however, you are willing to read
 strong story dealing with sex and di-
 vorce, handled in a masteriy way-then
 here is your story.
 Love, never old, ever new, is the theme,
 and it is dealt with at length, love of
 man and woman which story began-be- fore Eden-and will last till "the leaves
 of the Judgment book unfold" It is not the best of love that the author makes the motif of his story. though free from actual guilt. Like the tragic figure
 Francesca, loves martyr, this heroine
 meets death at the hands of an injuriatsd
 husband, but here there is no Paols Co
 share death and it's bitterness The lover lives to find a greater bitterness in life for he finds each moment living death In torment deep as any Dante saw-and that this side the grave. Marriage with it's beauty of divine sanction may have lost US meaning and value to many who tread the ways of Vanity Fair" but there are still some old-fashioned folk who
 regard marriage as meaning until death do us part To these the book will preach the old gospel that when men and
 women elect to marry they must abide by their vows for all time.
 The book gives careful study, born of
 keen observation, of the life and ways of the newly rich multi-millionaire. Here is to be found a strong depicting of the struggle of good and evil for the ulti- mate possession of a mans soul when that man has thrown all that Is best of him into the maelstrom of eygetting. A man whose creed has become: Money
 answereth all things"
 Robert Kimberly Is a wayward hero, strong tempestuous owning responsible ity to no power. man whom success
 runs half way to meet in every advent ure or undertaking. When a strong and
 lofty passion comes into his life the iact that the woman he desires to have ana to
 hold is another's wife seems not feath-
 CTS weight in comparison with his de- sire.
 Like David of old he sweeps away all obstacles, even the marriage tie, fate,- for
 tune, all, however. intervene, and these
 two find that happiness is not for them.
 The strong mans will bows for the first
 time to a higher power; and he lives to
 put forth the flower and the fruit of
 noble life.

the conversation was resumed in low tones and I fell asleep. I must have slept for an hour at least, when again I was awakened by the loud, almost fierce tones of General Lee, saying, T tell you, General Longstreet I will strike that man a blow in the morn ing General Longstreet again recount ed the difficulties, ending as before, General, you know you have only to give the order and the attack will be made, but I must tell you I think it will be a useless waste of brave lives.
 Thinking I had been present long enough at such an interview, I coughed and got up from the straw, and draw ing back the flaps of the tent, look ed out into the darkness. General Lee said: Captain Ranson, I beg your par don. l had forgotten you. Go now and get something to eat and some rest. l will see you in the morning."

 Tt seemed to me that it is the ambi tion of pretty nearly all the young peo- plc to come to America and make a new hcme in the new country. This is par ticularly true in the farming communi- ties. I expect to see a considerable in- crease in the immigration of Norwegians to America this year.
