ISLAND IF CYPRUS.
Garden Spot in Mediterranean a
 British Possession.
England Has Controlled Land for 35 Years and Established Good Gov ernment and Turned Barren
 Territory Into Fairyland.

New York.-The island of Cyprus Tn the eastern Mediterranean cele- brated it's thirty-fifth anniversary as a 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 q 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 1878 caused a great stir throughout Europe, particularly in France, where it was thought that England was outwardly supporting Turkey against Russia. This aequisi- tion of parcel of very rich territory in the eastern Mediterranean was due to the cleverness of Disraeli, who has kept Europe in general feVerish ex- eitement by his diplomatic moves. It was not the first occupation of the island by the British, for as early as 1199 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 un 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 fieations of Famagusta, which are one of the glories of the island. They are in splendid preservation despite the fact that in 1571 they were besieged for an entire year by the all-conquer- ing Mustapha and his Turkish hosts. Cyprus was then under the rule of the Venetians, who had acquired it from a Lusignan queen.
 At Famagusta is the only harbor in the island, but it is safe to enter at

Combination of Repose and Reiaxa tion Is the Only Beauty Secret
 That Is Worth Knowing.

There is a beauty secret, not found in cosmetics, and which does not lins ger in the perfume-laden hangings of the parlor of the masseuse. It is secret which any woman can possess, and it's magic effect is almost in stantly noted. The secret is merely a combination of repose and relaxas ton.
 A restful woman always appears to advantage. There is culture in 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.

Repose is more beautifying than rouge, and re taxation more body building than massage-Leslie's Weekly.

FINE ,,s.UABLE OLD VOLUMES
British Museum Gets Two Copies of the "Lyf of our Lady"-Copies
 Are Rare.

London.-The British Museum has just secured two copies Of the only two leaves known of the so-called sec ond edition of the "Lyf of our Lady by John Lydgate, printed by Caxton about 1484 in folio.
 Some time ago the librarian of the St. Bride Typographical Library, Mir. R. A. Peddie, discovered among a col lection of pamphlets and other papers originally the property of William Blades a bundle of early printed leaves and fragments of leaves wrap ped in leather binding from which the boards had been removed On in- vestigation it was discovered that the whole of the printed matter was from Caxton's press and the binding itself was from his workshop. There were thirty-eight leaves of the Boethius, printed about 147S. and there appear ed to be little doubt that the binding originally belonged to the Boethius and that the careful disintegration of the boards had resulted in the remain ing fragments.
 Among these fragments these six copies of the two leaves before re- ferred to were discovered One leaf was still pasted on the binding The 'Iyf of our Lady" contains ninety-six leaves and there are eight copies now known to be in existence.

There is, however, a great scarcity of water, and during the summer months the vegetation dies down. 1t is recorded that in the time of Constantine the Great Cyprus was abandoned because it did not rain for thirty-six years run ming.
 A little of what England has done for Cyprus can be seen from the fol- lowing:
 There is a legislature consisting of eighteen members, six being office holders and twelve elected, three of the latter chosen by the Mohamme- dan voters and nine by non-Moham- medan voters. The British high com missioner, who represents the British authority, is assisted by an executive council of three.
 There are elementary schools, five Greek high schools for boys, one for girls. There are also eight weekly newspapers in Greek and one in Turk ish.

EXCELLENT FOR TENDER SKIN BETTER THAN ANY COSMETIC
Victim of Sunburn Will Find Relief in This Preparation, Which Is a
 Home Remedy.

A preparation that will suit most tender skins or skin that has been sunburned is made by mixing togeth- CT four ounces of pure almond meal, an ounce of powdered orris, two ounces of powdered castile soap, one half drachm oil of bergamot, four drops of bitter almond oil and 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 sunburned skin, would make it sore and tender. More water is used and the skin is cleansed with the hands and finally rinsed sev- eral times and with old soft towels patted dry. Then 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 rare for 1t as just described even tho Ugh it 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 a 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 it has often been proven that she burns even more quickly. Why this Is so is because of the difference in the skin tissues

praped Lace Tunics.

Although, perhaps. the lace tunie has a tendency to age it's wearer, it has compensating merits which rec ommend it to women of middle age and even younger women who have a. tendency to stoutness. For the close. fitting pointed tunic of black lace cut with the upper part in the form of a. coat tends to make the figure lookl slim in a manner that many, alas, find! eminently desirable as years come, fast upon them.
 The favorite lace employed is Chan-i tilly, and when one knows how to; drape artistically nothing can be more elegant. On the contrary, nothingl can be dowdier than drapery which seeks to be artistic and fails lament ably in the attempt.

Murden is vice president, and r. L.

store has a frontage of 125 feet and

nent Ellis people. and include several
railroad men. So far the profits of the
enterprise have been entirely satisfac-
tory to the stockholders.
The main eating house here is the
Union Pacific hotel. W. E. Vose, for
years a dining car conductor, is the
manager. The hotel is three stories,
and Mr.. Vose is SO popular with his
guests that his friends fill his hotel

GROVER INCREASES JAIL TERMS
Judge Sends Three Generations to
Ellsworth Jail.

Salina, Kan, Feb. 20.-Judge DALLAS
Grover of the Thirtieth judicial district
is making it plain to the violators of
the prohibitory law that he has no
patience with them and the penalty i'm
posed by him for such violations is
much greater than heretofore. One
hundred dollars fine and one month in
jail has been the average sentence for
each count, but beginning with the
new year the judge is making it three
months in Jail for each count and at
least 800 dollars.
A few days ago he imposed the heavy
sentence on thirteen persons convicted
under the liquor law in Ellsworth
county; two of them being women and
one of them with baby in her arms
The mother of the baby was the daugh-
ter of the other woman sentenced to
jail and as the baby was too young to
be taken away from it's mother there
are now three generations of one family
in the Ellsworth county jail. Two sons
of the elderly woman were also SEN
fenced.
