For the Toilet.

L. Rim answer to your request

you would use plenty of the best
soap and warm water, followed by a
cold rinsing instead. You can then
rub in a little sweet cream taken
from milk. That is considered the
very best of anything to feed the
tissues and prevent wrinkles forming.
Sour cream will remove tan. DO not
use more than the skin will absorb,
for that will leave the face greasy.
Cleansing Cream-Melt four ounces
of oil of sweet almonds with two
ounces of white wax. When these are
blendid add slowly four ounces OF
orange flower water. Beat until cold.
Skin Food-Two ounces oil of sweet
almond, two drains each of white
wax aud spermaceti, then add by
drops two ounces of orange flower,
beating all the time. Heat again and
add one dram of oil of sweet orange;
beat until cold. This should be made
in a double boiler.

They ne'er paid that before.
He goes each morning to the bank
And salts away his cash;
A high silk hat and long frock coat
Helps him to cut dash;

Their teeth all vainly gnash.

The smith does not repine;
His humble shop has grown into

OUR OWN.

If [ had known in the morning
How YEARLY all the day
The words unkind
Would trouble my mind
said when you went away,
l had been more careful darling,
Nor given you needless pain,
But we vex "our own"
With look and tone,
We might never take back again.
For though in the quiet evening
You may give me the kiss OF peace,
Yet it might be
That never for me
The pain of the heart should cease.
How many go forth in the morning
That never come back at night,
And hearts have broken
For harsh words spoken,
That sorrow can never right.
We have careful thoughts for strangers
And smiles for the sometime guest,
But oft for "our own"
The bitter tone,
Though we love our own the best.
All, lips with the curve impatient.
All, brow with that look of scorn,
'Twere cruel fate,
Were the night too late
To undo the work of the morn.

THE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH.
"a new version. }

Under costly canopy
The village blacksmith sits.
Before him is touring car
Broken to little bits.
And the owner, and the chauffeur, too,
Have almost lost their wits.
The village blacksmith smiles with
glee
AS he lights his fat cigar.
He tells his helpers what to do
To straighten up the car.
And the owner, and the chauffeur, too,
Stand humbly where they are.
The village blacksmith puffs his weed
And smiles smile of cheer,
The while his helpers pump the tires
And monkey at the gear.
And the owner, and the chautt eur. too,
Stand reverently near.
Behind the village blacksmith is
The portal OF his shop.
The shop is very large in size,
With tiled roof on top.
And the owner, and the chauffeur, too,
At it were glad to stop.

Look in at the open door;
They like to SO him make his bills
And hear the owners roar,
And the chauffeurs weep as they

MODERN WARFARE.
Less Deadly Than Battles Fought Cn-
der Primitive Conditions.

There are not wanting authorities
with reference to things military who
aver that the Improvement in arms
mas actually rendered warfare less de-
structiVe. and that in these days Of
fearful, engines of was the slaughter
is much less than it was in the old
days of muskets, of bows and arrows
and Of hand-to-hand conflicts. In
addition, il may be pointed out that
the modern wars have been merciful-
ly shorter, and so less sanguinary
than those Of the centuries gone.
Under the primitive cond tions Of
lighting, when gunpowder was un-
known, wars drifted on for genera
tons, even for centuries. England
waged war with Scotland almost
without intermisson for a hundred
years. and for like period with
France. The Thirty Years war and
later. the Seven Years war. are
epochs in military history.

with muzzle-loadng guns lasted but
four years. About a year thereafter
Prussia overcame Austria in seven
short weeks. and in 1871 the German
power overwhelmed that Of France in
some tighe months 1t took Uncle
Sam only ninety days to dissipate the
power of Spain in two oceans.
If the figures of history are cor.
rect, continues the New York Herald,
terrible slaughter reigned in the old
days when men met in hand-to- hand
conflict, and quarter was neither
asked for nor given. In 45l A. d., at
the battle of Chalons, when 'Attila
the Hun and the Roman legions un-
der Aetius met, it is said that not
fewer than 100000 men were slain.
We are told that at the Metaurus
lIasdrubals Carthagians were prac-
tically annihilated. AT Aqude SeXtiae
and Nerzellae the Cimbri and Teu-
tons were completely exterminated by
Marius; a hundred years later 80, 900
Romans were wiped out by Arminius
in Teutoberg Forest, and $4,000
Roman citizens of the Greek cities
were slain in a single day by the sol
diers of MlthHdates. At Crecy there
fell 1900 French knights, ! 400 gem
tlemen and 1000 men at arms, be-
sides 1900 of inferior rank; 10000
me nwere killed at Agincourt and a.
600 weer taken prisoners and about
10000 men, too, We're slain out of the
5000 who fought at Flodden; while
out of the 100000 engaged in the
fierce battle of Towton SO, 900 are re-
ported to have fallen ip the battle and
pursuit.
In all these Old-time battles, where
the weapons We're bows and arrows,
swords and battle axes, and when no
weapon was available that could kill
at a distance of more than few hun
dred yards the mortality frequently
rose to one in every three or four
fighters engaged, and sometimes ex-
ceeded this enormous percentage;
whereas in modern battles, with wea-
pons far more deadly, a proportion
of one in twenty, it is claimed, has
rarely been exceeded.
