today. The retention of the city will

that a naval demonstration by the
powers would find the Turkish govern

q miniature boathouse, and seat our
selves on the roof; and we are slowly
rowed up the stream, as far as the
tree-covered terrace where Warren
Hastings took refuge from the out
ragged people of the city; then down
the stream to the mosque with its tall
minarets which Aurungzeb erected to
hout the Hindus and rebuke their
idoIatry. But neither Warren Hast

the customs, the rites, the religious

MAN AND SKINNED HIM
Death of Or. Isaac C. West In Texas
Recalls Sensational Delaware
Crime.

Dover, Del.-A tragedy that created
the greatest sensation in the history
of Delaware was revived when word
was received here Of the sudden
death at Dallas, Tex, of DR.. Isaac G..
West. On December 2, 1879, he kill
ed Henry G. Turner, alias Couch Tur.
neF, negro, in Dover, skinned him
completely. and then set fire to the
building in which the crime was COM
mitted His purpose, it was claimed,
was to secure $4,000 life insurance
by substituting the Negroes disfigured
body, and making it appear he had
been killed by an explosion of a medi.
'cinal gas that he manufactured.
The case was tried here in April,
1873. West was acquitted on the
ground of insanity, but subsequently
was convicted Of arson, and served a
term in Dover jail. He left Delaware
after completing his sentence, and
had not ben heard from for years un.
til word reached here OF his death.
The tragedy was one of the most
terrible ever committed in this coun-
try. West made a confession, In
which he told of having skinned the
body and buried portions of it in a
half dozen different places here. In
order to brighten negroes generally,
It was only necessary to refer to the
West case This holds good In some
instances to this day.

pestructlve Man.

An English scientist, Sir Ray Ian
gester, says that civilized man Is the
most active instrument Of destruction
that has ever appeared on earth; that
he has burned up forests. produced
deserts, polluted rivers. He says that
the most repulsive OF the destructive
results of human expansion is the
poisoning of rivers and the conse-
quent extinction of fiah and nearly ev-
cry other living things that is in them.
He predicts sterility to meadows and
hillsides drenched with nauseating
chemical manures from factories. The
New York Medical Record speaks In
like fashion and says that these words
of the British scientist should awake
an echo on this side of the Atlantic.
for in no country of the world have
the beauties of nature been SO wan
tonly defaced as here, and in no land
have the rivers and lakes been so pol
luted to satisfy the greed of the indi-
vidual Added to this is the disaster
that will certainly come to the masses
for such fragrant disregard of the
health of the people.

That is Worth knowing. =

There is beauty secret, not found
In cosmetics, and which does not lin

secret which any woman can possess,
and its magic effect is almost In
stantly noted. The secret is merely
a combination of repose and relaxa-
ton.
A restful woman always appears to
advantage. There is culture in a re-
pose of manner that makes itself felt

Is a 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

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,

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 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 a
wash cloth usually causes friction and
this, added to a sunburned skin,
would make 1t 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
II 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 suffi-
cient oily moisture, but nevertheless
1t has often been proven that she
burns even more quickly. Why this
is so is because of the difference In
the skin tissues.

Mosque On Banks Of the aanges.

Here a long row OF women with a man
or two crouches on the very brink;
and Brahmin priest, naked but for a
loin cloth, passes from one to another
and gives them the sacred mark. They
put the water of the river on his feet
and kiss them; then they drink the
water which has touched him from
their hands. One woman rises up,
her arms straight above her head, and
makes obeisance. The priest gives
them some directions-mutters his
mantras-and waves his hands in to
Ken of dismissal.
Though it is not easy to distinguish
the ordinary washing and bathing
from the sacred function, there is
enough OF the manifested act of wor-
ship to give to the scene an air of
solemnity. Men and women are mix
ed, but no one regards any one else.
Each is engaged In his own ablution,
physical or spiritual Here a woman
crouches. splashing the water on her
face and making mystical marks on
forehead and breast Here a man
folding his hands together each time
In his revolution as he faces the sun.
Here is another man In red cloak
standing up to his waist and mutter-
ing with a whirring sound. There he
stands daily from a, m. to noon,
and has done so for nine years. His
eyes are bleared with the sun, all ex-
