SINCERITY.

Really, sincerity is nothing but
the true relation between action
and character. Expressed arts
tically, it Is the harmony be-
tween the foreground and the
background Of a life. We have
all seen pictures where the back
ground and the foreground were
not in harmony with one anoth-
er. Nature never would have
joined them TO each other, and
SO they did not hold to one an
other. but seemed TO spring
apart. The hills did not embrace
the plain. but flung it away from
them; the plain did not rest upon
the hills. but recoiled from their
embrace. Who does not know
human lives Of which precisely
the same thing is true? The
deeds are well enough and the
character is well enough, but
they do not belong together. The
one does not express the other

the great Russian composer, whose
pathetic" symphony Is such favor
tie in the concert room today. Tschai-
kovsky was a moody, pessimistic, shy,
reserved man. AS he said himself, he
had lived for thirty-seven years "in
antipathy to marriage" and then was
made bridegroom by sheer force Of
circumstances without being in the
least charmed by the bride" 1t Is one
of the queerest stories imaginable, as
told by Tschaikovsky himself.
He says that one day he received a
letter from a poor girl whom he had
known for some time. She declared
her love for him In the most passionate
terms He went the next evening 10
see her and told her that he could give
her nothing but sympathy and graft
tude. Later when he had thought IL
over he feared that Antonina might
make way with herself, so he went
to see her again, pleaded his irritabil-
ity, his uncertain finances his antlpa-
thy to matrimony, and then asked her
If, after all this, she still wished to be
his wife.
Her answer was Yes" TschatkoV-
sky bowed before the inevitable, as he
regarded it.
"My conscience is clear" he wrote.
IF l marry without loving it is be-
cause circumstances have forced this
upon me. ] console myself with the
thought that no one can escape his
fate;S and my meeting with that girl
was fatality
The marriage took place in 1877, and
the pair lived together barely three
weeks. TschaikovSky got into a state
of nervous collapse, and his mind was
more or less unhinged. The doctors de-
clared that complete change was his
only chance, and the poor wife never
saw him or heard his voice again after
he said hoarsely to her at the railway
station: "Now go! God he with YOU!
Need we wonder that the Pathetic
symphony is so pathetic?-J. Cuthber'

ROUSSEAU AND HIS THERESA.
Story of a Genius Who Welded an ls-

Some af1inities really defy eXplana-

A distinguished writer has said:

Rousseau for Theresa"
Here was one of the outstanding lit
erary genuses Of his time, man who
could talk on equal terms at least with
the most brilliant women of his day,
MARI ing kitchen maid, who never
could be taught 10 read with ease, who
could not follow the order of the twelve
rmttm1hs of the year or count sum or
money or reckon the price of thing.
Even a months instruction left her still
S unable to read the hours on the clock
face.
Theresa le NasSeur could never have
given Rousseau one hour of true com
panionship. She could neither have
read his books nor have understood
him when he explained them. She was
even without beauty and grace. YET
this mighty spirit chose her, loved her
and went on loving her. The alliance
lasted happily, for by some mysterious
spell she held him, and after twenty
i've years Rousseau could write to her:
81 never had, my dearest, other than
one single solace, but that the sweet

SALTS IN HOT WATER
CLEARS PIMPLY SKIN
Says We Must Make Kidneys Clean
the Blood and Pimples
Disappear

Pimples, sores and bois usually result
from toxins, posons and impurities
which are generated in the bowels and
then absorbed into the blood through the
very ducts which should absorb only
nourishment to sustain the body.
1t Is the function of the kidneys to
filter impurities from the blood and east
them out in the form of urine, but in
many instances the bowels create more
toxins and impurities than the kidneys
can eliminate, then the blood uses the
skin pores as the next best means of
getting rid of these impurities, which
often break out all over the skin in the
form of pimples.
The surest way to clear the skin of
these eruptions, says noted authority,
is to get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts and take table
spoonful in a glass of hot water each
morning before breakfast for one week
This will prevent the formation of tox-
ms in the bowels. 1t also stimulates
the kidneys to normal activity, thus
coaxing them to filter the blood of i'm
puritics and clearing the skin of pimples.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia Here
you have a pleasant, effervescent drink,
which usually makes pimples disappear;
cleanses the blood and is excellent for
the kidneys as well.-Advt.

RESTRICTION Gu COTTON IMPORTS
Suggestions Invited on the Proposed Pre-
cautions Against the Pink Boil Worm.

Washington, d. c., April l6.-A public
conference on the restrictions which the
department of agriculture proposes tc
| place upon the admission of foreign cot
ton lint will be held at the department
here at 10 o'clock on April 20. The pur-
pose of these restrictions is to protect
the country against the possibility OF
the pink boil worm finding it's way into
the cotton fields. A report was issued
in January of this year outlining the
course of action that the department
proposed to take. and now copies of the
prospective regulations have been sent
out to persons interested in the subject
with request for suggestions or criti-
cisms
Under the proposed plan, permits for
the admission of foreign cotton lint must
be obtained for all imports. Boston,
New York, San Francisco and Seattle
are at the present time designated az
ports of entry for such cotton, but it
is possible that other ports may be add
ed to this list from time to time APP
plication blanks for these permits are
provided for in the regulations and all
applicants must state the locality where
the cotton was grown, the year of
growth, the port from which it is being
shipped, and the person in the United
States to whom it is consigned
For the remainder of this year no 9TH
or material restrictions are placed upon
the importation of cotton, but after

that all cotton must be disinfected under

ions.
Hoods Sarsaparlla, the old reliable
ll.the-ycar-round medicine, is especially
seful in the spring. Get it from your

iehing the blood and giving vitality, Wig
