A New ROUGE.

The woman who finds that dash Of
rouge adds greatly to her appearance.
and yet who wants above all things to
avoid the suggestion Of artificial color
ing, can hardly do better than make q
trial Of q new rouge prepared under
reliable management, and put up in
smart little nickel cases without any
name to attract curious or prying
eyes, and Of Just the right size to
slip inside the wrist bag. Another
novelty Is the form, for this is q pow
dered rouge to be shaken out Of little
perforations in the screw top upon q
BIT Of absorbent cotton, to make Il
spread smoothly; or even the fiat Of
ones finger tips may be used to rub
II in. Like most Of the latest and
most popular rouges. It is rather on the
mauve in tint before applied. but
when spread upon the cheeks becomes
exactly the shade Of the blood coursing
under the skin and as nearly impos-
sible to detect as anything have
seen. It Is the least obstrusive way Of
carrying rouge pOssible.-The Vogue.

boils, which lasted for about two
years. when the afIlictlon assumed the
form OF an eczema on my face, the
lower part Of my face being inflamed

wherever the water would touch Il

rise. After the blister would open.
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch so as to be almost I'M
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another, back and forth over the
whole Of my upper lip and chin, and
at times the whole lower part Of my
face would be solid sore. This con-
dition continued for four or Eve years,
without getting any better, and in fact
got worse all the time, so much so
that my wife became alarmed lest Il
prove fatal.

elastic bands reach down and are

THE BOY WONDER
BY DRLSkRTLEy

fled the audience with great speech
and he. was only II. The late Presi
dent Harper of the University OF Chi
cago was such a wonder as a grown
man that we forget his remarkable
hoyhood.
Not every boy. considered a genius
by his udmiring relatives, is one. He
may be precocious, good and proper,
but not a genius. But suppose there
is real boy genius at large in your
community, what then? II brings up
the old question: Why should the
J spirit Of mortal be proud" His spirit
or that Of his kindred? Who knows
but 1t may be only case Of infantile
or puerile genius which will disappear
as the years go? Neither he nor his
friends should ever forget that, try
as he may, he may be distanced by
some whose powers do not develop as
fast as his. There are men-wonders
whose boyhood was not unusual. Wag.
ner and Bach and Goldsmith and Cow
per and Franklin and Darwin and De-
foe and De Morgan belong to the lat
ter class.
And there are some alarming posi-
bilities before him. Genius is not in.
sanity, as some OF the wranglers have
claimed; nor is 1t abnormal, save that
1t is unusual, nor what Is called
sport" One may be what we often
call q universal Genius" like Goethe.
or Michael Angelo. or Gladstone. or
Shakespeare. And yet he is apt to be
one sided and have some serious de-
fects, which will prove his undoing, az
a defect in will or judgment or SYM
patty or In power Of concentration,
and the latter was the defect Of Col
eridge. He may be repressed and
neglected. He may be led to think
that he does not need training nor dis
cipline. for genius Is never independ-
ent OF such things and 1t takes hard
work to mature and bring 1t to the
fulfillment Of its bright promise. The
delicate nerve tissues may be burnt
out before he reaches the more seri-
GUS work OF his life and he be left
in the condition Of the man whose legs
were set akimbo and he explained his
misfortune: II rode up in a balloon
one time and walked back"
II, on careful examination. the boy
is proven to be a genius. keep It to
yourself and never allow him to sus-
pect 1t. II he should find 1t out. tell
him of the fall Of the genius and
linger over its narrowing details till
he is almost scared out Of his wits;
then put him at hard work as II his
life depended on It. Make him play
with the other boys, so that they can
keep the conceit out Of him. Be his
master and his adviser and keep
heavy responsibilities from him till
he gets beyond the most dangerous
point. You may save him. after all.
