YOUR POT OF ROUGE

A solemn and dignified medi- cal journal quotes the following as the best beauty recipe that they know of:
 For giving the face a good color get one pot of rouge and one rabbits foot. Bury them two miles from home and walk out and back once a day to see that they are still there" A very delightful piece of advice l consider this, and one not lightly to be scorned. But it is wise woman who will keep a second pot of rouge on her dresser after the first one is buried. And, if she is as wise as she should be, she will have that rouge only of some thoroughly good and harmless make, and she will give the matter her most careful consideration. that she may learn just when and how to apply it with the most artistic and telling affect.

suit in an arrangement for the Brit ish government to take over the en- tire catch for the coming spring, for use in making winter garments for soldiers. Word has been received here, however, that the manufactur- CTS of clothing for the army find the material unsuita ble, ana that no prac- ticable method of us1ng seal oil in connection with military operations has been found
 In addition, owners of the ten steel steamers ordinarily sent to the seal ing grounds in March say there is a brisk demand for the chartering of their vessels for transatlantic ser vice. It is argued by many persons who believe that restrictive measures are necessarily to protect the seals that present a favorable opportunity for emitting the hunt this year and tn us permitting the animals to increase probably by about half a million.
 A compromise proposal has been made that the steel ships be with drawn and only the eight wooden sealers sent to the grounds. Should the entire hunt be abandoned, it VOL d mean the loss of six or eight weeks employment ordinarily given to about 4,O0O men. The average years catch has brought about half a million dol lars to the colony.
