The governor of Virginia, at time

ventured to demonstrate against the
injustice of a certain decree, turned
fiercely upon the young man and in

"And who the dickens are you,

With a cold but courteous bow the
young Virginian, drawing himself up
to his proud height, frigidly replied:
'Nobody in particular, just now,
but for the future, sir, somebody in

general, it is said, sent a cold chill

EXCELLENT FOR TENDER SKIN
Victim of Sunburn VIII Find Relief
in This Preparation, Which Is
Home Remedy.

A preparation that will suit most
tender skins or skin that has been
sunburned is made by mixing togeth-
er four ounces Of pure almond meal,
an ounce Of powdered orris, two
ounces Of powdered CASTLE soap, one
half drachm oil of bergamot, four
drops OF bitter almond oil and a quar-
ter Of a drachm Of extract of musk
Only tepid water should be used on
the skin and after Wetting it rub on
some of the above preparation in
stead of using soap, using the hands
to make the application because q
wash cloth usually causes friction and
this, added to a sunburned skin.
would make it sore and tender More
water is used and the skin is cleansed
with the hands and finally rinsed sew
eral times and with old soft towels
patted dry. Then a mere suspicion
of cold cream is massaged into the
skin and so left for the night.
Any girl or woman who will be
careful to protect her skin and care
for it as just described even though
il is naturally of a dry texture will
not burn or tan nearly as quickly as
will the girl with the oily skin One
would think that girl with oily skin
would not burn as readily as the girl
with the dry skin on account of suf1-
cient oily moisture, but nevertheless
it has often been proven that she
burns even more quickly. Why this
is so is because of the difference IN
the skin tissues.

BETTER THAN ANY COSMETIC
Combination of Repose and ReIaxa-
ton Is the Only Beauty Secret
That Is Worth Knowing.

There is a beauty secret, not found
in cosmetics, and which does not lin
ger in the perfume-laden hangings Of
the parlor of the masseuse- 1t is a
secret which any woman can possess.
and its magic effect is almost in
stantly noted. The secret is merely
a combination of repose and reIaxa-
ton.
A restful woman always appears to
advantage. There is culture in a re-
pose Of manner that makes itself felt
both at home and in public There
is suggestion of reserve intellectual
strength, more impressive than the
uneasiness of the woman who feels
that her tongue or her body must be
in motion TO let the world know she
is in it.
At the same time, the wear and
tear will leave the marks of strain
on complexion and figure, which no
creams or lotions can remove To
grow old gracefully and beautifully
learn TO take things easy. Repose is
more identifying than rouge, and re
Taxation more bodybuilding than

Guard AGAINST Rorea


Lord Rothschild's father, Baron Ma
than, guarded himself against time
MASTERS by allowing no chairs to his
private room in the city save the one
occupied by himself From a passage
in the "Reminiscences of Charles Cav
ard" who was for some years first sec
rotary at the French embassy in Lon
don, it appears that this precaution
did not always prove effective. Gavard
frequently had occasion to visit ST
Swithins lane in connection with the
payment of the indemnity exacted aft
er the Franco-German war. As his
business was often complicated. he
declined to hurry over it, and used to
find as comfortable a seat as he could
on the baron's writing table.

From Military Point of View, Its I'M
portance Can Scarcely Be
Exaggerated.

Cold light is useful for military pur-
poses, for now every soldier can have
in his knapsack the apparatus neces-
tary and naval searchights cold light
furnishes divergent beams in such a
mass that they constitute veritable
eyes for submarines, flying machines,
and balloons of all kinds. At expert
ments made recently in Paris in the
presence of the minister of war, these
searchlights sent forth such powerful
streams of light that it was plain they
could be used successfully for succor-
ing the wounded on the battlefield, for
searching in the ruins of a fire, in
mine disasters, shipwrecks, etc. The
important part played by searchlights
in the recent Balkan war is still fresh
in the public mind, and there is every
reason to believe that their role will
be still greater in future conflicts,
when, in order to escape flying ma
chine reconnaissances, battles will
often take place in the night. In fact,
the cold light works in the Boulevard
de Charonne, Paris, are busy at this
moment manufacturing searchlights
for the French colonial service, as it
has been found that instead of eight
mules now needed to transport a
searchlight and its accessories, one or
two mules suffice, a fact the import
ance of which cannot be exaggerated
from the military point of view

Why, Nellie, isn't this some new
tangled sort Of bakers bread?" IN
Quired Ronald, as he took a mouthful
of the bread on the plate and made
something OF a wry face.
No, indeedl@ resented Nellie with
dignity. That is the regular old-fash-
toned homemade, salt-rising bread
that everybody dotes over"
Guess our tastes are getting sort
of perverted, old boy!" laughed
StoweH. It's delicious, but-no,
thank you, I won't have another
piece"
Ronald's eyes fairly bulged at the
dessert. The apple sauce looked to
him a poor, thin, cherries dish to
offer to an invited guest. Stowell
looked around for some OF that haky
pudding Nellie had given them last
time.
And then came the climax as the
maid soberly brought in three great
slabs of mfnce pie-good pie, grand
pie, but on hot night!
Too heavy for me-" declared Sto-
well, and Ronald glanced reproachfu[
~ at Nellie, and the table when finally
abandoned showed remnants enough
to feed a whole family.
The gentlemen adjourned to ths
porch. Ronald experienced a species
Of social discomfort. 1t was certainly
a remarkable culinary demonstration
she had made. He glanced at Stoweil,
who was solemnly putting away at his
cigar. He looked like a Wronged man
He was bon vivant enough to enjoy
dainties and had anticipated some
thing light and toothsOme at the Bar
ton home.
Guess we'd better stroll down to
the hotel a little later and have a
game of billiards, Ell, Barton?" he sug-
gested

Why, mother, you here!" and the
speaker sprang from his chair and
greeted his mother with genuine glad
ness.

spoke StoweIl.

and was afraid the maid would spoil
things if I didn't superintend a little, :"
spoke the old lady demurely, as she
had been taught by her plotting daug-
ter, Mrs. Dorsett.

ion. StoweH had flushed up and look
ed bored.

OF CYPRUS
Garden Spot in Mediterranean a
British Possession.
England Has Controlled Land for g
Years and Established Good Gov
eminent and Turned Barren
Territory Into FairyIand.

New York!The island of Cyprus
In the eastern Mediterranean cele-
brated its thirty-ffth anniversary as q
British possession the other day, and
this fact proves all the more interest
ing because Turkey formally handed
over the island to Great Britain only
a few days ago. The island has been
practically British territory since the
famous Berlin conference Of 1878, but
the sultan was supposed to exercise
a suzerainty. there This action on
the part of the Turkish government
makes possession absolute
The annexation Of Cyprus by Great
Britain in 1873 caused a great stir
throughout Europe, particularly in
France, where il was thought that
England was outwardly supporting
Turkey against Russia This acQuisf-
ton of a parcel of very rich territory
in the eastern Mediterranean was due
to the cleverness of DisraeIi, VINO has
kept Europe in a general feyerish ex-
element by his diplomatic moves It
was not the first occupation of the
island by the British, for as early as
1893 Richard the Lion Hearted on his
way TO the third crusade took the
island from one Isaac Comenus- He
later sold It to Guy de Lusignan, ex-
king of Jerusalem, and it was not IN
til seven centuries later that the is
land again came into possession Of
Great Britain under a so-called lease.
The first view OF Cyprus from the
steamer is not an attractive one The
island seems barren; but as the visi-
tor draws nearer he is able to distin-
guish the splendid old Venetian forti-
fcations Of Famagusta, which are one
OF the glories of the island. They are
in splendid preservation despite the
fact that in 1871 they were besieged
for an entire year by the alI-conquer-
ing Mustapha and his Turkish hosts.
Cyprus was then under the rule Of
the Venetians, who had acquired it
from a Lusignan queen
