GOING THE LIMIT.


The novelty of having his hair
trimmed by a lady barber appealed to
q mildly intoxicated clubman who en-
tered an establishment where girls were
employed as tonsorialists
Loath to leave the chair after his
hair had. been trimmed the clubman
said to the. girl:
g"Now gimme a shave"
The girl performed the task and
awaited further Instructions. t
Guess you can put on a couple OF
hot towels" said the clubman.
After the hot towels had been applied
the clubman enjoyed a face massage
and permitted his hair to be anointed
with perfume.
Anything else?" sweetly asked the
maid.
Hesitating a moment as if to make
UP his mind the clubnan replied:
"Yes; / guess you may pull a couple
of teeth Judge.

Marriage Etiquette.

Dear MISS Doom:
When a couple is getting married
move her hat and gloves during the
eeremony?' II sc should she remove
them as 500 as she enters the house
ar wait until the minister is ready to
begin the ceremony? Should she stand
to the right or left of the bridegroom
during the. ceremony? Also tell me If
a marriage license in the state of New
Jersey without being accompanied by
a witness? IT not can they be obtained
in. the State of New York without a
witness, and must You always go 10
the county seat for theni9
1t is not customary for a bride to re-
move her. hat and gloves at the par
sonage. though in order to avoid delay
during the ceremony il is Wise for her
TO uncover her left hand by removing
the glove before the minister starts
speaking, If she wears long gloves she
will fndit convenient to tuck the hand
of the glove in at the wrist.
The, bride stands at the bridegroom's
left during the ceremony.
In most of the cities of New Jerr
seya the applicants for a marriage
license must be accompanied by
q witness. In Newark, however, a
witness is not necessary, but the appli-
cants must have a note from some
clergyman or reputable business man
who can lie reached by telephone be-
fore the license is granted in order 70
identify the signature. In New YORK
cityino witness Is required provided the
applicants are 81 years old or over.
The marriage license bureau is gener-
ally located in the City Hall. Inasmall
cities that have no City Hall tho
licenses are granted at the mayors
office, the city clerks office or at some
other city building.

HOW TO BEAUTIFY
YOUR COMPLEXION

Adding permanent beauty to the
face, neck and arms Is by no means a
difficult matter says Mae Martyr in
the San Francisco Times. But the
greatest mistake which thousands OF
women make daily Is the practise OF
smearing their faces with powder. This
stops up the pores in the skin, causing
plmples, enlarged pores and other
facial blemishes that are difficult to
overcome.
THE best skin whitener and COM
plexion beautifer known to beauty
specialists is made by dissolving four
ounces spurmax in one-half pint hot
water with two ~teaspoonfuls glycerine
added. This inexpensive lotion is
very fine for clearing up a rough. oily
or sallow skin. It quickly corrects a
shiny. lifeless condition. giving the
kin a smooth, satiny ton After once
you try It you will have no further
use for face powder. as 1t desan't show

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

According TO a postoffioe attache. let

perfectly addressed often cause trouble
to the postal authorities. For xam-
pie, the authorizations of the words Cal

and 1t is difficult to determine at times
whether "Col.' or Gal" is intended.
Some time ago an order Vas issued
to all offices asking that the public
abbreviate California in this MINER
Calf" However, the trouble still
continues, for a very small percentage
of the letter-writing public know any
thing about this desire on the part Of
the postal authorities. People continue
to abbreviate California in the old
way.

U. S. WOMEN IN ENGLAND.

Speaking of the expedients OF a self
expatriated American to pore into high
society, Pierre de C%oulevain says:
Some of these women try to initiate
British demeanor, accent and aifecta-
tons. They have the advantage of the
English in town; but in the
country this superiority vanishes. The
American. can never be her
lords. comrade; she doesn't know how
to dress for outdoor life, nor has she
sport and horse in her blood, like all
well-born daughters of John Bull.
TN her role as hostess in the Eng
fish ancestral home the American
woman is charming. delicious. but not
grande dame. With her interiors, her
servants, her tenants, she is either too
generous or too neal too familiar or
too naughty. She does not understand
them. and they will never look upon
her as anything but a foreigner"

PROMISE IN CHINA.

The Chinese grand council has been
abolished. and a cabinet replaces it.
But the members of the old council arc
members of the new cabinet with
duties unchanged. 1t is a case of neT
masks for old faces. But there is to be
a change of greater import than that
of names, though that would be no
small matter in so conservative a coun-
try as China. The cabinet is to be
what the grand council was not-re-
sponsible to the national assembly.
China is a long ways from a con-

ing in that direction. The fact that II
is moving so slowly gives reasonable
assurance that it will move safely

often a happier time than the early

 Chairman Stanley said today that the steel inquiry would be pushed forward as rapidly as possible, although no further hearings will be held until Wednesday, when MT. Gary, chairman of the steel corporate, will continue his recital of organization and meth ods of operation. John Lambert of the Republic Iron and Steel Company also will be a witness on that day.
 The committee also is consider ing the advisability of holding sessions in New York. where there are many witnesses and much material of the steel cor poration which MT. Gary told the the committee it could have ac- cess to.

 BATTLESHIP MAINE
Expected Weeks Must EIapse Before Water Is Pumped From Golfer Dam ST rounding III Fated War Vessel.

Havana, June 5.-The prelim- sinary stage in the work of expos ing the wreck of the old battle ship Maine was completed this afternoon. when repairs to the caisson, ruptured two weeks ago were finished by the driving of the last interlocking piles. I'm mediateely the work of pumping out the water from the main cof- fer dam was begun and the water level had been lowered two feet when work was suspended.
 At this stage of the operation, no indications have been observ- ed of any instability in the retain- ing walls, The pumping will be resumed tomorrow and 1t is ex- pected the water level in the cof- fer dam will be lowered about five feet.
 This will suffice to expose most of the afterdeck. which was re- mote from the imne sIs |Tefte' of the explosion.

 been removed the pnmpin3 cpaE tions probably will be suspended for ten days, so that the most careful tests of the stability of retaining walls may be made be- fore the entire wreck is freed from the water.
 Present indications are that some weeks must elapse before a complete examination is poss- ible. The lowering of the water level this afternoon merely gets a clearer view of the afterdeck than has been possible heretofore showing it to be encountered with barnacles and other marine growth.
 The most important feature of the removal of the water so far is the strong indication that the main coger dam will fulfill all lR- pectations of the army engineers by resisting the tremendous wat CT pressure from the outside,s
