CONSTANCE COZELII.

Constance Cezelli was a heroine of the sixteenth century, and a native of Monpellier, France. In 1590 her hus- band, Henry de St.. Annex, who was governor of Lucrate, for Henry ". of France, fell into the hands of the Spaniards. They threatened Constance that they would put him to death if she did not surrender the fortress. She refused, but offered all her pro- perty to ransom him. After having been foiled in two assaults, the Span iards raised the seige, but murdered their prisoner. Constance magnani- mously prevented her garrison from retaliating on a Spanish officer of rank. As a reward for patriotism Henry ". allowed her to retain the government of Lucrate until her son came of age.

How to Care for Your
 Eyes the Beauty Way By LUCREZIA BOR nj Prma Donna
Borax -..... 1 grain
 Camphor water 1 ounce
By LUCREZIA RORI

borax -.--.---.~~ l grain
 Camphor water .--- 1 ounce
 Wet the eyes with this liquid or pour 1t into an eye cup and open and close the lids in the bath. A satur- ated solution of boracic acid is also excellent for inflamed eyes.
 Eye strain of any kind is fatal to eye beauty. The instant that you mo- tice a redness of the eyeban or of the lids, consult an oculist. He will correct it.
 In extreme cases of irritability use tiny piece of line or antiseptic gauge soaked with the borax and camphor water solution and laid di- rectly over the lids, renewing as it dries.
 Don't forget that lack of the neces- sary amount of sleep will rob the eyes of their brilliancy. If you wish to re- store the clear brightness to your eyes you should sleep at least eight hours each night When the eyes are tired and dull looking, bathe them with the following lotion before retiring:
 Powdered alum. 10 grains
 Sulphate of zinc 10 grains
 Boiling water ..-..k # pint
 Dissolve the alum and the zinc in the water and filter the mixture through brown paper. A cloth may be wet and laid over the eyes during sleeping hours.
 A solution of salt water is also ex- cellent for the eyes.
 If you strain your eyes, red, tn- famed lids are sure to be the result Therefore, you cannot be too careful about the arrangement of the light when working, sewing or reading. since it has much to do with the beauty and the health of your eyes. Take the proper care of your eyes and you will never need to ask for a remedy to make them clear and bril- liant.

paration can I use to make my eyes brilliant and the pupils larger"
 But each time I read it I wonder that there can be yet another woman foolish enough even to think of tenn pering with anything so delicate as the organs of sight. The loss of sight or it's impairment is indeed a ca lamity, and it is to be regretted that any person for the sake of vanity would desire to use "eye drops'' that will enlarge the pupils, and by so do- ing run the risk of injuring the eyes.
 Perfect Cleanliness Necessary.
 There's only one safe way of mak- ing the eyes beaptiful---to give them the care that will insure perfect health. The eyes in their normal, healthy state are clear and brilliant. When the sight is impaired or when indigestion or other bodily troubles develop, the eyes assume dull and strained expression. Very often, too, the lids become red and inf1amed, which Is due to number of causes
 To correct any of these conditions the general health must be improved, the eyes strengthened and the inflam- nation allayed by means of soothing lotions.
 Tho moment you notice an un- healthy condition of your eyes con- suit an oculist. Never consider home remedies for an instant, ex- cept in cases where a foreign particle has lodged in the eye, when the red ness Is the result of having been ex- posed to the wind or to minor eye ills of similar nature.
 Cleanliness is the first requisite to eye health and beauty. It is almost important that the eyes and the eye lids should be kept perfectly free from all dust, else they will become inflamed, styles will develop or a dis tressing granulation of the lids will disfigure them.
 Don't Strain Your Eyes.
 After you have been out in the dust and wind bathe the face with warm water. being particularly careful to remove the dust from the eyelids, Then bathe the eyes themselves with the following soothing lotion:
