The Dubois County Poor Asylum.

ijio yuuuiöuunty poor asylum lias attracted a great (lea of notice and a good deal of Lime and money have been put into it. As it stands complete its oat l:M70.2ö including everything from foundation to the comb of the roof. H is a substantial twostory brjck, with deep basement in which is located the steam heating plant. In th attic is a huge iron tank, which holds about two thousand gallons of water, ihe building is equipped with bath rooms and closets, and has up-to-date plumbing, with a sewer connected, leading to the ravine some distance from the building. The building was planned by Architect M. F. Dtirlauf, ol this pbce, who was also superintendent of construction. It is finished in nai dwood, with metal ceilings throughout, and the window caps and sills and the coping are all of Bedford stone. The brick was burnt on the farm under the direction oi Nicholas Melchoir, who used some help from the inmates. The contract for burning the brick was let in March, 1807. The contract for brick work was awarded to Anthony M. Hochgesang in March, 1S98. The building contains eight rooms for the private use of the superintendent four on the lower floor and four on the second floor; twenty-four bedrooms for inmates; a larere kitchen: two dinino- hniic. rn w

pital rooms; two bath rooms; a store room; two sit- t ting rooms; corridors in all directions on both floors, I and numerous staircases. Several rooms in the base- $ ment have paved floors. The roof is covered with I

I eople who are good judges of such matters have no hesitancy in declaring the building equal in all resfA'cts to similar structures which have been built to $ ioeooOUn tieS at an expense var.Vin from $25,000 The neople of Dubois County can congratulate themselves on the results obtained by the commissioners in this instance, and may well ieel proud of the poor asylum, a substantial up-to date and handsome structure. Advertising is Necessary. . The business man who doesn't believe in advertising, says the Reading Times, belongs in the same category with the farmer wh doesn't believe in fertilizing the soil. The husbandman can gather several successive but constantly diminishing crops from the same piece of ground without restoring to it the hie-giving elements of which he robs it; but there comes a time when, completely exhausted, the land refuses to respond to agricultural entreaty. The business deprived of the stimulating influence of publicity furnishes an apt parallel -gradual failure, ending ui complete paralysis of its functions. Advertising, like fertilizing, is mighty cheap in proportion to cne money value of the growth it promotes. They Bat No Bread. gees Mere-tin Poorer People Have to Use Substitutes.

Health And Beauty. To Remove Stain From Wearing High Collar. Dark Stain from Collar Take fresh strained cucumber juice, boil it for five minutes, and for every five ounces of juice add: Pulverized borax, 175 grains; acetate of soda, 90 grains; tincture of quillija, 2 1-2 ounces; tincture of benzoin, 4 drams; rose water, 1 pint. Mix thoroughly and apply two or three times a day until the stain is removed. For Yellow Spots on the Skin.-Oleate of copper, 15 grams; ointment of oxide of zinc, 1 3-4 ounce. . Rub into the spots morning and night. Wash off in the morning with warm water and a bland soap. For a Muddy Complexion. Try the water cure, say, three glasses of water an hour before breakfast, and the same quantity before going to bed. If, as may be the case, the complexion is tanned.

, ' t www Bichloride of mercury in coarse powder, 10 grains; distilled water, 1 pint. Agitate the two together until a complete solution is obtained. Then add onehalf ounce of glycerine. Apply with a small sponge as often ay agreeable. This is not strong enough to blister and skin the face in average cases. It may be increased or reduced in strength by adding to or taking from the amount of bichloride of mercury. Do not forget that this last ingredient is a powerful poison, and should be kept out of the reach of children and ignorant persons. Scalp Treatment for Premature Grayness. If hair is turned only on the front, nothing but a stain or dye will be of any avail. It could be touched up by an expert in a very satisfactory manner.

treatment of her. Nothing will be so certain to arrest further change as scalp treatment. A Tonic to Lighten the Hair. The following harmless lotion will lighten the hair very perceptibly, and can be applied with a brush. It is as follows: Take equal parts of rhubarb stalks and honey and steep in three parts of white wine. Let it stand for 24 hours, strain and use as a lotion, wetting the entire hair; massaging and leaving to dry in. Recipe lor SarsaparillaHere is a recipe for sarsaparilla syrup. Take simple syrup, 4 pints; compouud syrup of sarsaparilla, 4 fluid ounces; caramel. 1 1-2 ounces; oil of winter gren; oil of sassafras, 6 drops. Mix thorougly. Let me advise you not to try to make anything of this kind at home. It is always better to get any one of the sarsaparillas on the market, and, besides, it is cheaper, too. Stain for Ltght Eyelashes. An excellent eyelash stain for temporary use. Gum arabic, 1 dram; india ink, 1-2" dram; rose water 4 ounces. Powder the Ink and gum and triturate small quantities of the powder with the rosewater until you get a uniform black liquid in a powder, and add the remainder of the rosewater to it. It should be applied with a very tiny camel's hair brush. To Acquire Flesh. Absolute freedom from care and anxiety. At least ten hours' sleep out of every twenty-four. In addition to this, naps during the day if possible. This sleep must always be natural. Nothing is so bad for the appearance and general health as sleep induced by anodynes or narcotics in any form. The diet should be liberal and should consist largely of food containing starch and sugar; potatoes, fresh

a w ecu uuutci, iiniiv, uiciuij, iruas, cooKeu ana served with sugar, all vegetables containing starch and sugar, such as corn, sweet potatoes, beans, peas, foods of the macaroni and spaghetti kinds, fish and oysters, ice creams, desserts without pastry; plenty of outdoor life and a moderate amount of exercise. Sleep in a well-ventilated room. I do not believe any one can gain ffcsh if there is an internal disease; certainly not if there is any tendency to dyspepsia or liver trouble. Where the patient is plump in one part of ths body an:l fails in another a gymnastic course is advised. There is nothing better than bicycling unless it be a regular gymnastic course. In order to pursue the latter properly the patient is advised to go to a first class gymnasium, submit to an examination and take the exercise prescribed by the attendant physician. These gymnasiums, at moderate prices maybe found in a town of any size in the country. Where the development is meager in the upper part of the body swimming is also an excellent exercise. Walking is always wholesome. The patient who wishes to gain flesh can never do so if she worries, is harassed or permits her nerves to get the better of her.

ENGLAND'S SACRED BEAST. Unwritten Law Against Shooting Even Hen Eating Foxes. "Down in the country the other day there was a tillage sensation in which I was called upon to adjudicate for the fanners assembled in the parlor of the only village inn," writes the London correspondent of Town and Country. "One of their number had shot "a fox which had prowled about among the fowls for so many nichts that fowl keenirisr

was becoming a riSky business. "The ordinarj- farmer does not mind losing an occasional hen, but reynard is a greedy beast and kills for the mere pleasure of the thing, and the hunt does not always pay up promptly. So here was a line point in sporting etiquette to be settled. The farmer had shot a fox. lie did not deny it. In fact, he preferred to throw out his chest with pride, as if in defiance of all the'unwniten laws of British sport. "Now, custom from timo immemorial has decreed that the fox shall be as safe from gun and trap

as ll lie were sacred, lie belongs to' the hounds and must be allowed to' roam through the covers and farm-i yards at will, devouring what may I nappen in his way. Custom, too, demands that the hunt shall pay; the damages. The hunt eenerallvl

pays, though in innumerable cases tho secretary is well aware that he Is being swindled. "But this particular farmer said he had hunted for manv vcars him

ENGLISH BEAUTY CUP. Weak Te Invites Sleep and Improve! the Complexion. I advise those who consult me upon the tired complexion to indulge in what is called the English beauty cup. Mr. Gladstone took it each night of his life as long as he had health, and it is the cup which keep3 many an English beauty going. It is simply tea, but tea made without the nerve destroying attributes. If properly made it invites sleep. You take half a small"" coffee spoon of tea, and you scatter it in the bottom of a very large cup. The German coffee cups are best for this purpose. Over thi3 you pour as much boiling, bubbling water as, the cup -will hold. The saucer is placed on the top of the cup in Chinese fashion. STow comes the big wadded tea cozy, which must be thrown over all. It is an oddly shaped cozy, made to cover cup and saucer. It stands for five minutes to steepNow comes the scientific part of the cup. You take three very thin slices of lemon, and you lay them in a big hot cup. On top of the slices of lemon you place a big maraschino, and then on top of all you pour in the tea, putting it through a strainer. The result will be a- fine, weak, hot, but healthful cup of tea with just the right flavor of lemon. You

in the form of a ham. Thereupon the farmer declared war on all foxes

sugar. A lump of sugar will restore the stomach and take away that tired feeling. Sugar is recommended to women whose cheeks are hollow. It has a way et building up tissue. A big cup of tea at night is excellent, but the trouble is that most persons make it too strong. The weaker the better. The same is true of coffee, which, if taken weak enough and with plenty of good sugar, acts as a nightcap. Not one person in a thousand can make it right.

His Grnot Weight. Nothing ex;ree better the importance of a person in his own or in the world's eves than to state it

tn terms of his relation with the physical world. Oliver Wendell Hohnes, it will be recalled, remarked that the axis of the earth sticks out in erery man's back yard. A lonmU of not dissimilar kind is recorded of Washington Irving. The conversation was turned on the pomposity of a certain American diplomatist. "Ab, he is a great man," said Irving, "and in his own estimation a very great man a man of great weight. When he goes to the west the east tips up !" Not Afraid of a Ghost In a village in England a man went running inip an inn at 9 o'clock at night and cried out that there was a ghost in his back yard. There were fourteen men in the inn, and not one of them dared to go home with the man and investigate. There was a person who dared, however, and that was the landlord's daughter, a girl of fourteen. Some of the men followed her at a distance, and she went into the yard and up to the ghost, flap-' ping its arms about, and discovered a man's white shirt flapping on the clothesline in a strong breeze. That's about the -way all ghosts turn out. Exchange. She Ftlt For Him. He had eat looking sbscntmindedly out of the train "window for two hours, whistling the same tune and not on the key.

Finally there came a moment when the whistler paused for breath, and in that moment the quick witted actress leaned over and said: "I know just how it is. I never could whistle either."
