AN AWFUL ADVENTURE. Dramatlo Experience of an Omaha Colonel in St, Louis. Omaha Republican. Colonel Jack Calhoun, the young and handsome colonel of the revenue ofilce, sometimes relatesan exceedingly peculiar auddramatio experience which he had in fit. Louis some years ago. The Colonel is not an ascetic, and will never make a monk; whenever he sees a prettv girl he likes to look at her again. anH ho is not averse to becoming acquainted with her even at the risk of an infringement upon the more 6aintly proprieties. 4I was passing the finest residence in St. Louis." says tho Colonel, as he relates the tragedy, "when I looked up, and there in tho door stood the handsomest gill in Missouri. She seemed embarrassed, and I knew by that she had been lookirrg at me. When I turned at the corner aud looked back she was standing there just the same. I smiled and lifted my hat. She bowed. I returned gracefully and spoke to her. After we had chatted awhile I modestly said that I guessed I would go into the house with her and sit down. She replied that she would like to have me do so, but that she was living with her brother, who was very tyrannical, and who. if he caught mo there, would be fatally displeased. I was not afraid of the brother I am seldom afraid of anything and so I went into the parlor, tho handsomest room I had ever seen, and we sat there aud had a pleasaut visit. 'Unfortunately, I had a cigar which had not gone out, and the smoke faintly scented the room. Suddenly there was a ring at the door-bell. She sprang up in consternation and oointed me to a closet, into which I hied. Opening the front door, she admitted her brother, who almost immediately exclaimed: Mia, iia! You have had a man in here" M have not, alas! I have not expostulated the beautiful girl. Lio not continued tho infamous brother, 'fair, false creature. I 6mell the smoke of a cigar of the lower order. You do not smokeyourself. Frail deceiver, beware, beware!' Ah cried the girl, you do not believe me! I shall go mad mad mad!' I would not believe you were you to swear upon a stack of Bibles. I am no chump 'Heaven shrieked the girl, what, oh what shall I do!' I could restrain myself no longer. I burst from the closet and, confronting the now fully enraged man, said, calmly but with suppressed passion: M am here!' "At that the ruffian drew from his pocket a loaded revolver aud was about to shoot me on the spot, but 1 clinched him and a desperate strugglo ensued. During tho melee 1 forced tho revolver half way down his throat and quietly but firmly pulled tho trigger. He fell dead. I took a hurried farewell of the weeping girl and lied the scene. The next day the girl was arrested for murder. She was tried, sentenced and hanged. It is a sad story and one in which few people who now seo me joyously pursuing my way through life would imagine me participating. How true it is that no man knows the criminals by whom he is surrounded." He Became Bearded In His Grave. Colorado Springs Republic Old-timers of El Paso county will recall the killing of William Campbell on the Campbell ranch, sixteen miles south of this city. Mr. Campbell was buried in a grave on the ranch, and his rtrniaios have lain thcro undisturbed ever since. The Santa Fe track has been laid near the grave, and the widow feared its ultimate despoliation by side-tracks. When the remains were taken up, and until exposed to the air, they were as perfect as at the time of burial, and, strange to relate, though the deceased was clean shaven at the time, his beard had grown to his waist, and the hair of his head had grown luxuriantly and covered his shoulders. Mr. Campbell has been in his grave just twenty-five years and nine months. A Falrj Mansion. St. Ixrois Republic. , The largest and costliest private mansion in the world is that belonging to Lord Bute, called "Montstuart," and situated near Kothesay. hn gland. It covers nearly two acres, is built in gothic style; the walls, turrets and balconies are built of stone. The immense tower in the ceuterof the building is 130 feet high, with a balcony around the top. rhe halls are constructed entirely of FurS i and ?laDater; all the rooms are finished in mahogany, rosewood and walnut; the fire-places are all carved marbles of antique designs. The exact cost of this fairy palace is not known, but it has never been estimated at leu than $8,000,000.

EYERY-DAY LIFE IN LONDON

Novel and Pleasant Things Xoted by a Hoosier Residing in Britain's Capital. Mention Also Made of Other Things Novel but Not Pleasant Gossip About Distinsnhhed Americans Traveling' Abroad. Correspondence ot the Indianapolis Journal. London, May 22. Mr. John Russell Young, who is managing the London branch of the New York Ilerald, was among a party of gentlemen tho other evening who were giving amusing accounts of national characteristics. "Mr. New," said Mr. Young, is from Indiana, a State where politicians and agricultural products abound. The people there are called Hoosiers, and if you think they are not loyal clear through to home institutions you are much mistaken. New is like all the rest of them, he thicks Indianapolis is just as good as London, and better in some respects. One of these Hoosiers was in Paris a year or two ago, but nothing he saw impressed him as being particularly grand or unusual. The Parisian who was showing him the sights was naturally much disgusted, but he saved the greatest, the Grand Operahouse for the last. When they stood in front of it he rubbed his hands in glee and said to the 6 1 ranger, now, isn't that a superb building, a noble structure, the most beautiful in the worldf Yes said theHoosierdoubtfully, that's a purty house; it looks like Masonic Hall at Indianapolis, only it ain't quite so fine" Mr. Young being an American, could tell that story with safety, and we all joined in the laughter that followed its narration. An English gentleman, however, would not think of telling such a story to an American, as it presented one of his countrymen in a ridiculous light. Similarly, we Americans, who have been here only a few weeks, have already learned not to say anything outside our own circle reilecting upon English people or customs. In the latter, wo find much to ridicule, but not in tho former, at least those with whom we come in contact in a social way. They are extremely courteous and considerate, aud apparently have the most profound respect for Americans. The French, traditionally, are the most polite people on the earth, but their obsequiesness is apt to become tiresome. The Engligh, as I have found them, do not overstep the line. The servants are models of their kind, for they are educated. They thank you for anything and everything, even to giving them an order to perform some menial task, and they are never bold nor presumptuous. The shop-keepers are, of course, pohto and attentive; their business requires them to be, but they are very liable to rob you just the same if yon will stand the imposition. Gentlemen of official or social standing are gentlemen in every sense of the word. I suppose that 8,000 people arrive in London each week from America at this season of the year. The hotels are crowded beyond their capacity, and the hundreds of private apartments and boarding-houses are filled with guests. The shops are crowded with strangers, many of tnein Americans, and the latter are very easily identified by their peculiarities of language or manners. "A great many Americans trade with us," is the almost universal greeting when you ask for anything. If anybody tell9you that living is cheaper in London, you tell him to come over here and try it, The hotels are extremely expensive, and you have to pay extra for lights, service and almost everything else. It is the same way in the cafes and restaurants. Prices of dishes or meals are stipulated in the bills of fare, but fa almost eery case there is an extra charge for "service," and in addition to this, the waiter would go down to his grave thinking yon were a verymeanmanif you should not give him a "tip.". My own experience is that you can live somewhat cheaper, and certainly much better, in New York than London. On the other hand, clothing, books, furnishings, etc., are cheaper hero than in our own country. The former cost about one-half as much here as there, and are of superior material; but I think they are not made , up nearly so.welL This is tho height of tne London 6eason, when one hundred thousand people, or more, are here from out of town, which accounts for the additional expense of livinc. Keepers of hotels, apartment-houses, shops and public resorts mcreaso their charges for everything during the "season," and the visitors pay all their extras aud try to look pleasant. It proves to be a very forlorn attempt at times. Social gayeties are at their height now. For those who are in the swim it is a continual round of alleged pleasure. While I am neither in the swim nor altogether "in the soup' I still have had invitations enough, especially for dinners, to last several seasons, with proper economy. If people who entertain would only make a schedule of non-conflicting dates, so to speak, so that those who are the recipients of invitations could arrange to be at a dinner every evening, it would be a very felicitous arrangement, and would materially decrease the cost of continuing to live. I merely throw this out as a suggestion. As I sat in a box at the Alhambra Theater last night I saw a familiar form across the house. It was Will English, who had just arrived in Loudon yesterday, after an absence from hero of nearly ten mouths, and from homo of eighteen mouths. He has had a great trip throughout Europe and parts of Asia, and has been up the Nile more than a thousand miles. He thinks ho will remain in London, which he likes better than any city ho has visited, until October, but may possibly stay over until spring. His acquaintance here is extensive, which enabled him, myself and several other wandering minstrels to go out and show the city some attention after tho performances. Senator Don Cameron arrived here yesterday, aud will make a brief stay, lie and his family are driving through England and Scotland a very delightful way of travel, he says, as the roads are the finest in the world, and tho inns afford good entertainment. Ex-Senator Palmer, the new minister to Spain, is also in town. Ho says that ho was appointed, among other reasons, because of his alleged familiarity with the country to which he is assigned, although he has not been in it for forty-six years. Kobert T. Lincoln, our new minister, arrived at Liverpool to-day, and a delegation of official dignitaries went down to meet him. As an instance of the inadequacy of the salary paid him, it is only necessary to mention that the house leased for his residence by Mr. White, charge d' atfaires, costs $10,000 a j-ear for the mere rental, which will make a pretty big hole in his $17,500 salary. Mr. Phelps, tho retiring minister, it is said, came here with several hundred thousand dollars, and although he did not live more cxtravagantlj'.than was necessary, he returned home practically a poor man. This, with tho additional fact that, by reason of the phrasing of American laws, the American minister resident is subordinated to the representatives of very inferior countriesis not particularly a source of pride to President Harrisons subjects who live here. The matter has been presented in its true light to Senators Sherman, bpooner and Cameron since their arrival, aud they have all promised to do what they can to remedy existing evils. With characteristic diplomacy, however, they attribute the lack of suitable legislation on the subject to tho House of Representatives and not to the United StatesSenate. Almost every other house in London has some historic association, and if I succeed in remembering one-half that is told me about them I will become a fair compendium of English history. As opportunity otters I am visiting ns many of these as possible, so as to have it all through with, and am reading descriptions of others, so I can tell ignorant people that I have been there. I find that this plan has numerous advantages. It saves cab fare, personal weariness, and placing yourself in the attitude of ft professional eight-fleer. Mr. J.

F. Edwards, teacher of history at Notre Dame, near South Bend, Ind., and a very accomplished gentleman, came over on tho steamer with us. and I have since been thrown with him considerably. He is, without doubt, the most tireless and persistent' sight-seer Indiana has ever produced, but, at the same time, he is intelligent and systematic about it. The consequence is that he knows more about London than the man or men who built it, and he can give points to many of the old settlers. From early morning until night Edwards is on the go", and he has already visited nearly all the places of general interest, besides wandering about among the lanes and by-ways, where the real life of the city is to be seen. His experience here will be of incalculable benefit to himself and his pupils. The consulate is located in the midst of historic places. Just in the rear of the offico is the house in which lived Anno Boleyn, one of the most unfortunate of the numerous wives of Henry VIII. I took lunch to-day at a queer old place, within a hundred yards of where I am writing, which was tho mansion of Richard III when he was Duke of Gloster, when he plotted many of those little pleasantries in tho shape of murders, for which he is so justly famous. The old banqueting hall, tho council chamber and the great hall have been bnt little changed since his day; but in them now, insteadof the clanging of armor and the revelry of royal rioting, are heard the rattling of'dishes and the cheerful chatter of barmaids as they deal out liquid destruction in the shape of brandy and soda, and "'alf and 'alf," for sixpence "per each." Tho place, which is called "Crosby Hall," is a very popular cafe and bar. On my way to the hotel from tho office I pass the inn in which Dickins wrote "Pickwick Papers," and tho "chop and tomato sauce" restaurant, as well as the lane in which Fagin, the Jew, is supposed to have lived, and tho original "Old Curiosity Shop." By the way. London has various shop-keepers under the assumed names of "Dombey & Son" and "David Copperfield." Do I like London? Immensely, so far as I have seen it, and the common experience here is that strangers grow to like it better the longer they stay. I am learning the ropes so as not to be robbed on every hand, and I am fast acquiring a pleasant acquaintance. The novelty of having an official position, aud having to sign my full name, with a 6eal attached, has not yet entirely worn oil", and I am inclined to blush a little every time I do it. I think I shall get over this, however, and be able to charge up fees with unblushing ellrontery. Thero is more formality about official positions here than any other placo in the world, I suppose. Some scattering observations: Miss Mattie Ferguson, formerlv of Indianapolis, is playing with "Peek-a-boo" Scanlan. at Liverpool, and will be hero shortly. . . . Richard Mansfield's "Richard III is an artistic but not a financial success. . . . The weather at last has become Americanized, and is warm and pleasant. . . . Coquelin and Hading open a four weeks' engagement here next Monday, under the mauagement of Henry Abbey, to be followed by Bernhardt for four weeks. Seats are a guinea (" each, and tho sale is enormous. . . . We are all going to the "Darby." in a four-m-hand coach, under Marcus Mayer's direction. We may come back alive, but probably "broke." Apparently ono half of the Americans in London aro already broke, and we will be dead in lino with them. . . . Business hours hero suit me very much. We get to the office about 11 A. M. and close at 4 p. m and there are numerous holidays. Ono occurs next Saturday, when Queen Victoria will have a birthday. ... At the Alhambra. last night, I saw the most gorgeous, elaborate and beautiful ballet and spectacular production I ,have ever Been. It is called the "Army and Navy," and when, in the procession of nations a group of pretty girls, dressed to represent West Point cadets, came marching down to tho footlights, under the stars and stripes, we Hoosiers howled until the roof shook. ... If you say "good morning'' to the clerk at the hotel here you are liable to be charged "twe-and-six" for it. The clerk at tho Langham and myself are not exchanging such courtesies now. O. R. J. A CURE FOR RHEUMATISM.

As;a Counter-irritant the Mexican Wasp la Unapv.chAl;l. Istvr York Star. "I see by the papers that some French physician treats rheumatism successfully by applying the business end of bees to the parts atnicted," said a well-known railroad man, recently returned from a trip to Mexico, to a Philadelphian. "The only difficulty the physician finds in, this treatment is, 1 believe, that he has to use such a large number of bees to get up the necessary counter-irritation, or whatever it is. If he will take a pointer in that direction I can give him one that will let him right out of all his trouble. What he wants to do is to get an invoice of Mexican wasps. If he wants to knock the rheumatism let him get a few Mexican wasps. That enterprising insect is two inches long when it's of age, and has a stinger with a full inch plunge. It is a non-lorfeitable stinger, too. It don't yield itself up at a single plunge, as a bee's stinger does, but is good for an all-day's job. "The Mexican wasp is just the color of a bay horse, and it will go ten miles out of its way to sting a man. It doesn't seem to have anything else to do but to look out for peoplo and then turn its stinger loose on them. The natives get fat on centipede and scorpion 6tings, but they will dive for cover when one of the wasps of that favored clime heaves to. I had the honor of being tasted by one of these blood-thirsty insects. He sampled me on the cheek, and although 1 had been some years in the passenger business the wasp dazed it. At first I felt as if the whole sine of my head was asleep. My face got cold, and I couldn't hurt it by pinching it. That delightful sensation'lastcd for a minute. Then it quit as suddenly as it came, and was replaced by a pang such as I imagine might follow the insertion of a wire into a sensitive part of your body, and then having it gradually heated until it was raised to a white heat. I didn't know what ailed me at first. I clawed my jaw and pulled my hair and danced around and howled. "Then a sympathetic native told me that I had been dipped by a Mexican wasp, aud that I would keep on feeling that way for at least two hours. I did. I could have lain down and died with tho greatest willingness, and was sorry when they told me that the wasp's sting never killed anybody. The two hours that I kept company with the aftermath of that wasp's plunger were two hours of mortal agony. The strange part of the thing was the cheek didn't swell. Buc it was as sore as a stone bruise for a day or two. I didn't know about that French doctor's bee treatment for rheumatism until I got back here, or I'd have collected somo of those Mexican wasps and sent them over to him. A fellow'd have to have the rheumatism pretty bad if ono of those lively insects couldn't make him forgot it." Original in Her Kerenge. London Telegraph. An original method of wreaking vengeanco on an unfaithful lover has been adopted by a deceived damsel. The man was a tailor and the woman a cook, who, when she heard that the gay deceiver had given her up for a spruce dress-maker, armed herself with a pair of big scissors aud a bottle of vitriol, and proceeded to the lodging of tho false-hearted swain. What she would havo done had she met the tailor in the flesh can only be conjectured in a vjgue and speculative manner, but it happened that he was out, so she set to work on his Sunday clothes. Theso she nulled ( out of the wardrobe wherein they lay. strewed tnem on a table and cut them into ribbons with her scissors. Sho next sprinkled vitriol over the lot. and treated the tailor's socks, shirts and pocket handkerchiefs to vicious douches of the same corrosive substance. Then she went away satisfied, but was arrested, according to a legal phrase rather appropriate to the circumstances, "at the suit of the tailor." What Promotes "IlAnnonloua Relations." Boston Ilerald. The fact that Rev. Ada C. Bowles got her last new bonnet made for her by a man milliner, while sho was holding forth in the pulnit, is cited by this woman preacher as evidence that woman suffrage is promoting harmonious relations between the sexes. This is the first time the claim has been made that the man milliner is an outgrowth of the movement for the disenthrallment of the sex. The artists of the tailor-made girls doubtless come within the same category.

WILLIAM AS A PBESS AGENT

Hr.Kye Will Pilot Mr. Ward McAllister's Select Circus the Present Season. TThat the Four Ilundrcd Will Do in the Rinj This Tear The Policy of the Show to Be Aristocratic Even to the Canvasmen. It is barely possible that I may not be able to keep up my literary work for several weeks, at least, owing to negotiations now pending, and, in fact, pretty well settled, between the parties, by the terms of which I am to go on the road as the press agent for Mr. McAllister's circus. At first he did not like me personally and even now I do not think ho really cares very much for me, but he recognized my ability after all, and saw that I would make a good press agent for a circus, because I was uuch a good word painter and grainer. He saw that I could write up features of the circus that tho proprietors and spectators were ignorant of, and that really make such a thing a success. A press agent who is dependent solely upon facts and data is lost. You cannot make a circus draw by just simply giving a good show. You must make the publio feel that every hour before the circus commences is one of intense agony. I do not yet know definitely whether we will have a baby elephant in arms or not We have not decided on that yet, bnt will have other animals. We are casting about now for names to give our artists. We have thought of a few and aro looking for others. Suggestions will be received. We will also have an ontray about the first thing. It will be a kind of equestrian frolio and horse jubilee. Signor WTydepantz would have charge of the ontray. Ontray is a French word, and signifies a piazza or front entrance to anything. Wo have a number of good grass-fed horses which will take part in the exercises. They are safe horses and perfectly kind. We shall introduce the celebrated performing trick Norman horse, Embongpong, who will allow Signor Wydepantz to ride him around tjie ring with a package of blazing fire-crackers tied to his tail. Embongpong was born in captivity. He will make his debut every afternoon and evening, unless colia should break out in his midst. We shall aim to keep faith with the public, providing the breeching does not become disarranged. Some of our horses are speckled. The prss agent will drive a team in the procession, and will take care of Embongpong at night. Wait for Wrard McAllisters great big, red circus, and take no other. In that your ticket admits you to the large tent, with privileges of going around to the horses' dressing-room also. Our route is not yet made out, but our clown is. He is at work on some handpegged jokes for the season, and a song which will have several want advertisements in it. It will consist of thirty verses and a refrain. He has an egg proof mask which he will wear while delivering it. The clown will be called on the bills Birdie Pudd'nbag. He will wear grotesque clothing and try to engender mirth. His real name I am not at liberty to give here. Everybody taking part in the circus will do so purely under stage name. Even the great equestrian stallion Petie will not give his true name. Music and peanuts will pervade the air during the performance. Gentlemanly but pimply and pampered young men with rich etruscau blood in their veins will walk on the spectators and administer terra cotta lemonade to those who may be athirst. Wo shall aim to elevate the circus, even as the Manhattan stockholders have elevated the road. - The grass-fed filly Finecut, owned by Mr. L on Hard, -will take part in the ontray. She will be accompanied by the bay mare Cuspidoor. It has been decided to place the ontray almost at the top of the performance. I want to say right here that the fress of the country wilibe looked out for. will see to that myself. Any man or boy who will show a printer's rule at the door can get in. I will even allow the rule to be shoved out through the tent for those who have no rule, or, in extreme cases. I will suspend the rules. I desire, however, to warn all friends of the press not to fool with our clown or reply to any of his. sallies, for he will humiliate them in the presence of their friends. He is English in his style of ring humor, or ring-worm humor, if I may be allowed that little pleasantry at the expense of our clown, and his jokes, if they fall from a sufficient height, will crush the life out of anybody. So q not tamper with our clown. Ho has a scatbiug ttyle ( of reply and a pile-driving mirth that cornea homo to our heart with crushing force. He has also a hearty laugh which enables him to be absolutely independent of outside indorsement. The audience can join hira in silvery laughter or not. It is not material. He is above craving the co-operation of people that are cawse. Mr. McAllister has told him that he is funny, and so he will supply his own laughter in all the smaller towns. The press will be seated, where, incase this clown should bo stepped upon by the Arabian horse Embongpoug, and killed, they will get a good view of the calamity. W e cordially invite the press to come early aud converse with the woman who has the iron jaw. Her Tantivy stage name will be Mile. LeBlanc Ety Blanc, bhe will hold conversaziones with the press from a. M. the forenoon, to P. M. the afternoon. During the street pageant she will ride an open chariot with a large, wilted boa-constrictor in her bosom. The bedazzled and bedizened street pageant will successfully knock large rectangular chunks from the fame of other 6hows. We do not commit the folly of running three or four rings and a case-knife-swallowing contest at the same time. One good performance, on all the time, is good enough for ordinary people, and we cannot pander to the oblique tastes of a cross-eyed minority. The press will please make copious notes and call the attention of the peoplo to our refined show. Nothing out of character will be permitted, and even our wild beasts will have to couform to the rules of etiquette or quit and go home. We shall introduce the only living zebra that has ever had his tail banged in capThe Only Bang-Tailed Zebra. tlvity. The widow of the man who did it will travel with us. There will be a choice minstrel performance in the ring, after the regular performance is over, and highly cultivated young men will step on the audience and refer to it occasionally, standing in front of the spectators whenever the bare-back rider falls off, in order to obscure the vision and hide the embarrassment of the management The highly accomplished and almost human intelligence of tho mare Robert Elsmere, will be a feature of the afternoon and evening performances. Sho will bo

accompanied by her most recent colt, Mr. Barnes of New York. They will be driven by the well-known bare-back savant, by -vester Van Amburger. jr., of Little iriltn

The Wonderful Barelxuk Rider, avenue. He will drive the mare and trust to the colt's better nature to follow. Is it asking too much for me to request the public to wait for our show? Will the press aid me in calling the attention of our best people to this wonderful aggregation of artistic merit, combined with rich, navyblue blood, which courses through the veins of every performer and every employe? Even our stake-drivers and canvasmen are thoroughly refined, and come from good old, decrepit families. We will also have a lion-tamer whose stage name will be Dennis. He will quell tho haughty spirit of the lion and lioness by his wonderful will-power and matchless Dennis, the Lion-Tamer, clothes. We also have a bright young understudy, who will succeed to the place in case Dennis should fall up in his lines while inserting his head in the lion's mouth. We have not done all of our printing yet, but it will be highly ornamental and vet in perfect taste. Mr. McAllister and I will unite our efforts to refine and elevate the circus, as 1 say, and make it take high rank" with the best people. To do this we are straining every nerve and sparing no expense. We will ransack the gilded palaces of New York for contortionists. Wo will search the homes of wealth and luxury for bare-back riders. We will enter the abodo of magnificence in search of candy butchers and canvasmen. We will climb tho tallest family tree on Manhattan island in search of curiosities for our menagerie. Let me say again that the press will bo looked out for. Come both afternoon and and evening. Come carl3' and stay till after the minstrel performance. Visit tho sideshow, as you will have ample time before the large ehow commences. Test your lungs by means of the lung-tester. Come and listen to the zephyrs soughing through the whiskers of the bearded lady. Come, gentlemen of the press, and give yourselves up to the keenest enjoyment We hope to do some of the seaside resorts with our circus, and will show, also, in the Adirondacks several times, if we meet with no mishaps. The animals will be fed morning and evening. The snakes only on Tuesdays and Fridays. Some of our ring costumes will be very attractive.

W0BK0FL0 YE AND PLEASURE

Shirley Daro Says All Women Wish to Bo Good-Looking and Gives Ecasons. Getting Kid of Spots o.i the Face What to Pa for Red Noses and Fleshed Faces A Shiny ComplexionHow to Cure Early Writkles. Special to tho XnAianavoUs Journal. New York, June 8. This letter must ba given np to cosmetics, or editors will havo to answer to the four hundred inquiring correspondents themselves. Next to men cy-making, or making a living, peopla seemed to be concerned about their looks, and it is quite reasonable, for on personal attractiveness, in physique and man ncr, depends most that makes life worth living. So much hinges upon personal favor among men and women, that it mnsi redeem tho office of the cosmetio and hygienic adviser, from a tacro pander to vanity to that of the confidant who must minister to soul and body, to put people in right relations with themselves. There is a half-divina pleasure in this impersonal service to thosa whose names even are of ten unknown to feel that in removing a blemish, or improving a dull appearance, one is giving confidence to sensitive, shy people, and banishing the smart of undeserved inferiority. Some of theso letters touch one deeply from tho motherless girls who have nobody to advise them, tho lads away from home, anxious as girls to have a good complexion, and, justly so, the young wives who tell a whole story in the line I am afraid my husband docs not love me as be did when I was better looking," and the women of forty who still work to look well for their husbands and their big boys. Will correspondents in all cases send an address at which replies can reach themin no case for publication! 'Bother" writes that she has suffered from sallow skin and falphur-colored blotches oa the f ace.f or which she has "doctored" with so little success as to discourage her until sho tried the taraxacum treatment The small spots have left her face, tho complexion is daily becoming clearer, and she says T am not ashamed to have anybody look at mo. Still, one spot on the forehead does not remove, and grows darker instead of lighter. I have no mother, and am the only girl, so that I have nobody but a doctor to go to for advice. All the doctors say it is nothing, and tell me to nevermind it But I do." I wish "Bother" had sent her address, forona can't help having a kind corner in one'a heart for the girl who has no mother, arid only a doctor to go to for advice, who tells her a blemish of such 11 a grant 6ort is nothing. A future of love and success has been lost for such a mero nothing, before this. In such a case baths, friction daily, especially over the right side, where tuo liver is, and careful diet with coarse bread, cereals and much fruit juice should form part of the treatment and two or three doses of compound licorico powder be taken successive nights. This is well known at most drug stores, and costs something like ten cents an ounce. Tho spot may be rubbed at night with this paste: Elder flower ointment, ono ounce, mixed with sulphate of zinc, twenty grains. Take care not to let it touch the skin beyond tho spot. At morning wash it away with castile soap and soft warm water, and batho live minutes with a lotion of citric acid, thirty grains in one-half pint infusion of roses. This should dispel the spot in a fortnight. Formulas for Magnolia balm and other face washes containing chalk and bismuth will not be given in these letters. Hfttti K." .Trt trtnlcA hnlr trow on ft high forehead try rubbing the skin wit ilanneltill red. and applying another nan nel wet with oil of lavender over night, binding it on by a tape round the head. A year's trial is not too much time for the experiment Or apply high test kerosene, without rubbing the skin, repeating tho application nightly, and letting it evaporate at will. To all inquiries about the toilet mask, and their name is legion, it must be said that the use of any mask proves less advisable than other toilet preparations, which improve the complexion more quickly and pleasantly. For this and other reasons, I advise tho use of a lotion which dries into a protective layer on the face, that will not wafch, off. Tho lotion is perfectly safe, and refines tho 6kin more rapidly than anything (known. The price is $1 a bottle. It is not a paint or powder in any shape, and docs not disfigure tho face in its effect But it should be distinctly understood that no lotion or mask, medicated or not, will ever refine the skin, unless care is given to diet and health. Women seem to think a toilet mask will prove all that is necessary to insure a good complexion, which is a great mistake. 'Constant Header" finds her neck turning brownish yellow where tho collars of her dress rub it and ammonia will not remove the stain. For such discolorations. apply powdered borax wet with very little camphor, letting the paste dry on the skin, for fifteen minutes, then washing off. Kepeated daily this will bleach the skin, provided a thin lawn is worn between tho neck and the dress collar. The dye of the material has possibly stained the skin. Ninon" Ked noses seem to be the affliction of many persons who take great care of their health. A nose always reddish at the sides, and swelling and growing frightfully red at the first touch of cold, is truly a humiliation, and when it comes without use of malt or spirituous liquors, in spite of the closest personal care, it is the sign of deep-seated internal disorders. Unsuspected disease of the intestines, inflammation which gives little discomfort, or piles, signal their lurking dauger by this pcrsUteut redness of the no.c At once lay asido the use of hite bread and paltry, forever, making whole wheat-meal bread and wheaten grits the staple of diet, without discarding meat or other acceptable food. But thousoof belted fine Hour is responsible for most of the brain exhaustion and tho worst inflammatory disorders of modern civilized life. The experience of the wisest physicians confirms this, and nothing can be said too strongly against this waste of vitality and stinting the most necessary lood of tlio system. A woman with a reel nose should wear a wet bandage about tho hips, and take tepid sitz. baths daily, to relievo internal intlammatioa. a treatment which, of itself, is enough to cure many abdominal diseases, without the degrading and painful practice common in such c ases. Laxatives like compound licorico powder, tigs and senna or castor-oil should boused freely, beginning with a dose nightly for three nights, then one every third night, for a fortnight or a month, as suits the person. This removes accumulated wastes which inflame the tissues, and if the habit of using coarse food has beeu established meantime, nature . will prevent further trouble. But f few persons have any idea of the strict regimen necessary to prevent harm,' when nature has once fallen into disrepair. Going without coarse bread a day or two because it does not suit domestic convenience to provide it, will throw a nervous person back into sleeplessness, oppression of the brain and very likely neuralgia. Just so. one who is dieting for complexion which includes purity of blood, will tind very alight irregularities of food and habits undo the good of weeks of care. All athletes know that a glass of ice water or a rich dish tasted at the wrong time will so destroy their fine physical balance as to lose tho product of a month's costly training. Health and su premely good condition are so precious, so invaluable to us, that probably this x trcme care is not too high & price to nar impress us with its worth. 10 pay ta A rvd nose or a flushed face will icni( nay demands the use of powder to remedy' its unsight iness.
