 Monica: ' ou hardly need such a list of cosmetics as you mention. Ordinary mercOlized wax will help you more than any or all of them. It will gradually absorb the withered, discolored com pleXiOn and you will soon have new, youthful and healthy-lOokInE skin. iou needn't get more than an ounce of the wax. which will cost you little at any druggists.

 Prices in Europe.
 Much Is said by European tourists about the excessively high prices charged them by shopkeePers but we really did net find 1t So. As a rule, goods are plainly marked with the prices, and the prices are reasonably low. For example, excellent gleves can be bought for frem 96 cents te 75 cents per pair which would cost in the United States twice as much. bought a straw hat in The Hague, Holland, for so cents, and 1 could have bought an
 
 many fer 3e cents. Excellent clothes, made to order Ger mem can be had in Londen CT Paris for $S to SIP a suit. In Paris 1 lad a haircut, shampoo and rub with bay rum for F cents and tip of cents. On the other hand, Mrs Allen paid so cents for a pair of shoe ribbons that could have been bought here for 10 or 12 cents, and, strange as 1t may seem, this was in one of the stores of Haman & Son, American shoe manufacturers.
 Rev. F. w. Coleman Speaks.
 Rev. MT Coleman was asked to speak, and obligingly responded, all though he had not been expecting to be called upon. He mentioned his in terest in the cathedraIs, the great pie lures to be seen and in architecture, and spoke also of how cheap gas was in Sheffield where the price was 30 cents per thousand feet, and in Lei cester gas is used almost exclusively for power and the rate is 45 cents per thousand He said that trade is ex- Ceedingly good in England, he was told, but one man whom he talked with said that England might as well shut up shop when the United States gets free trade. Ye they seem to be mak- ing no great preparation to adjust themselves to the new conditions un- der the new tariff law. 1t is 25 years since Rev. Mr. Coleman was in Eng land, and he said that some of the changes that had taken place made him feel like a stranger in q strange land. Knowing the English women as he had known them, he thought the suffragette outbrealtk was really a phe- nOmenOn.
