Effects fit Fat Eating.
Animal fats like lanolin have a tend
ency to increase the growth of hair and
some fats coarsen the skin; therefore
use so far as possible the vegetable oils.
Those who are inclined to have hair on
the lip should rub very little with oils
of any kind. Dry skin should have
creams, hut little benzoin, while for
greasy skins this is one of the best of fa
cial dressings. Common cream, either
sweet or sour, is a fine cosmetic. The
use of rainwater will be found helpful to
all skins, whatever their texture. —Chi-
cago Daily News.
In the Moonshine Country.
While looking over some mining prop
erty in Bartow county, Ga., last fall we
saw a cornfield high up on the side of a
very steep hill. There a small clearing
had been made In the dense forest.
Down where we were in the valley it
seemed almost Impossible for any four
legged creature except a goat to get up
or down. "How in the world do they
ever get their corn crop down from the
mountainside?" I asked my cracker
guide. Laconically he replied: "In
jugs."—Lippincott's.
Some Pumpkins.
A single pumpkin vine at Oregon City,
in defiance of the dr.vest season that Or
egon has experienced for many years,
produced eight perfect pumpkins rang
ing from 18 to 20 Inches in diameter.
Posey county, Indiana, whose record aa
a prolific producer of this pioneer pi*
fruit was formerly unchallenged, will
hardly enter the list against Clackamas
.-aunty, Oregon, after this showing of
what the latter can do in pumpkin-grow
ing in an off season. Portland Ore

The Limit of Looping.
A new form of looping the loop is
promised the Parisians. A French en
gineer says he will make a motor car
run down a steep slope to a wide open
ing in the track, at the edge of which it
will mount a springboard and turn a
complete somersault, coming down on
the other side of the opening and on
u i oniinuation of the track.
Silver Leaf for Wounds.
According to French papers the sur
; i ons are now dressing wounds with
silver leaf. The silver is simply
placed on the wound or ulcer, and, as
*'t sticks closely to the surface, a little
cotton soaked in collodion is sufficient
to keep it in place. The effects of this
fheet of silver are said to be very
remarkable.
Dahomey's Serpent Temple.
The small town of Werda, in the
Kingdom of Dahomey, is celebrated for
its temple of serpents, a long building
in which the priests keep upwards of
3,oii<) serpents of all sizes. These they
feed with birds and frogs brought to
them as offerings by the natives.—Lon

THE EARTH WAS SHAKEN.
TON OF DYNAMITE EXPLODED AT
MT. VERNON, N. Y.
Forty People Were Injured—The Ex
plosion Tore a Hole in the _ j
Ground 80 Feet Deep—Train
Had a Narrow Escape.
!
Mount Vernon, N. Y., Nov. 3. —The
explosion of over a ton of dynamite
under the Bond street bridge here
yesterday shook the city and the sur-
I rounding country within a radius of
live miles, probably killed at least one
person and injured nearly 40 others,
three of whom may die. The man
supposed to have been killed was an
Italian in charge of the dynamite. He
I was seen at his post of duty just be
fore the explosion and no trace of him
Ins since been found.
There were 2,300 pounds of dyna
mite stored at the side of the deep
rock cut running from the western
limits of the city to the New York.
New Haven & Hartford railroad sta
tion, which was used for blasting a
path for additional tracks.
' The explosion tore a hole in the
ground SO feet deep that is now "full of
water from a hidden spring, wrecked
ihe Bond street bridge over the rail
way tracks and broke all the windows
within a quarter of a mile. The force
of the explosion, as is usual, was
downward, but the upheaval along the
sides of the cut hurled large stones
for blocks. Many houses were shifted
from their foundations, walls were
stripped of plaster and furniture was
splintered.
' j A heavy train, bound for New York,
was just, pulling out of the Mount Ver
non station when the explosion oc
curred and the engineer stopped until
! the track was clear. In another min
ute his train would have reached the
| bridge.
Most of the persons injured were
caught by falling ceilings and walls in
the houses nearby. Stoves in stores
and dwellings were overturned and
many tires were started, but in each
, | case the flames were quickly ex
. ; tinguiahed.
NINE PEOPLE LOST THEIR LIVES.
Reservoir that Held 800.000 Gallons
of Water at Winston-Salem, N. C.,
Broke.
Charlotte, N". (\, Nov. 3.—A reser
voir of a municipal waterworks locat
ed near the center of Winston-Salem,
N. C., broke at 5 o'clock Wednesday
morning, causing the loss of nine
lives and the injury of four or five
persons.
The north side of the reservoir,
which is 30 feet high, tumbled over,
falling upon the home and barn of
Martin V. iVeples. There were about
800,000 gallons of water in the reser
voir, and the stream rushed northeast
to the Southern railway cut and
thence to Belo's pond, a distance of
half a mile. Four tenement houses
were washed several hundred yards.
, The reservoir was built in ISBI by a
company composed of 00 citizens. Ten
. years ago ii and the entire water
plant was sold to th<; city. Soon t'lere
, after ten feet was added to the height
of th<- reservoir, which was full of
1 water when the collapse came. The
1 city has just had a large stand pipe
completed. It is full of water and the
town is prepared" to supply every de
mand.
The thousands of gallons of water
- that flowed from the reservoir formed
i a pond in ihe vicinity and it.was
. thought that several people might
; have been drowned in this. The city
, council met and decided to drain the
I pond, in order to recover any bodies
that might lit: beneath the water.
TEN MINERS KILLED.
The Cage in Which They Were Being
Lowered Fell 1,400 Feet.
Wilkesbanv, Pa., Nov. 3. —One of
the most appalling mine accidents in
, the history of the Wyoming valley for
I many years occurred at No. I Auchin
closs shaft, operated by the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western Coal Co. at
' Nantieoke, early Wednesday morning,
by which ten men were hurled to in
stant death and three seriously in
! jured. The men were mostly all upon
the mine carriage to "ce lowered to
I the workings below,
i The signal was given to the en
gineer, who began lowering the men.
I The carriage had gone lt.il, a few feet
when the engineer lost, control of his
I engines, owing to the reverse levers
failing to work, and the c arriage, with
its load of human freight, ten in all,
i was dashed beyond the Boss vein, j
landing nearly 1,100 feet below the
> surface and from there they were
precipitated 300 feet further into a
5 sump.
> Those who may not have been j
I killed outright were without doubt !
dropped in the sump, which is fully 50 j
i feet deep with water.
The victims all resided in Nanti
: coke and most of them leave families. j
• They were Poles or Slavs with the ex- j
1 eept.ion of one named Jolm Kempe.

LIBERALS SWEPT THE BOARD, i
Parliamentary Elections in Canada
Resulted in a Triumph for Premier
Laurier.
Ottawa, Out., Nov. 4.—The Domin
! ion parliamentary elections were held i
! Thursday. The returns point to the
I re-election of a Laurier government
with a majority of between (JO and 70
! in the house of commons, which is
! composed of 214 members. This is a
j liberal gain of about. 15. The conserv- j
, ativo loader, It. L. Borden, was de
feated in his own constituency in
Nova Scotia. The province of Quebec,
, Laurier's home, sustained the pre
mier by returning a large liberal ma
jority. Tho campaign was brief and
remarkably free from political rancor, |
the principal issue being the construe
tion of the Grand Trunk Pacific rail j
road with government aid, a project
favored by the liberal government.
Halifax, N. S., Nov. 4.—The liberals
swept Nova Scotia in Thursday's elec
tion from Cape Brenton to Cape Sable ;

ort 1. Borden, of Halifax, leader of th<
conservative forces in Canada, but
they elected every one of the other IT !
candidates of the party in the prov- j
ince.
Out side of the defeat of Mr. Borden,
the principal individual feature of the
election was the defeat in Colchester
county of Seymour Gourley, the con
servative member, who during his two
terms at. Ottawa attained considerable
fame by several violent attacks on
tho United States.

BUSINESS IMPROVES.
!
| Steady Gains are Reported in All th« ;
Leading Branches of Manufacture,
New York, Nov. 5. —R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: ]
Business improves steadily, anc
there is no evidence of anxiety re- j
garding tlie future. Payments are;
more promptly met, tending to stimu
late preparations for coming trade,!
and the disposition to limit purchases j
j to immediate needs is gradually dis- j
appearing. Conservatism during the
summer and autumn had a beneficial i
effect, reducing stocks to a low point j
As demand broadens, this scarcity ol '
supply produces pressure for quick
delivery and prices are strengthened, j
| Aside from inflation caused by specu
j lation, there is no better sign of com
j mercial progress than advancing com- j
modify markets.
All the leading branches of manu- j
facture are in a better position, with
noteworthy activity at iron furnaces,
; woolen mills and footwear factories, i
Railway earnings In October ex-
I ceeded last year's by 7.0 per cent, i
j Wholesome progress is recorded in the
: iron and steel Industry, sentimental
improvement being succeeded by
; actual business. Thus far the best
1 news comes from blast, furnaces.

in a pasture. Her throat had been cm j
with a sharp stick, a piece of which .
| still remained in the flesh; her left
; ear had been cut off and there was a
: bullet hole in her head. There was
evidence that the girl had made a
' struggle for her life. A cigarette
| near the body and bloody tracks lead- !
ing away from the spot are the only
! tangible clews. Miss Butts was last
; seen Wednesday night with two
i young men. Neither of the men have
| been located.

JAPS' MOVE FLANKED.
St. Petersburg, Nov. 3. —There is
I considerable anxiety here over the
I military situation. Little news has !
been received from Mukden, Gen. t
I Sakharoff's telegram of November 1
inertly indicating that matters were ,
at a deadlock around Shaklie. The
Japanese have made some moves on
both flanks, which were checked, but i
1 there are no signs of a general ad- :
vance by their army. Foreign reports
from Port Arthur are decidedly
gloomy. While the authorities eon
! tinue to profess confidence in Gen.
Stoessel's ability to hold out, tho
papular feeling is that the heroic gar
rison must now be near the limit of i
human endurance.
London, Nov. 3.—The Daily Mail, in
a letter from Hakodate, describes Jap- ?
anese schooners as returning with
valuable cargoes of furs, the result of j
raiding tho Russian fisheries station
at Kamchatka and Commander and
other island rookeries. There has
been fierce fighting with the Russians
and many were killed on' both sides.
In one case, after a fight lasting threa
days, the Russians captured three
Japanese vessels, killing half theit
crews and taking remainder prisoners,
SIEGE OF PORT ARTHUR.
Headquarters of the Third Japanese 1
Army, in Front of Port Arthur, by way
of Che Foo, Nov. 4. —The Japanese
are now in a position to commence
the beginning of the end of the oper
! ations to capture the eastern fortified j
ridges. Their siege park has been j
completed by the placing of 11 incii
howitzers. During the night of Oc.
tober 2!) all the reserves advanced
| through a network of trenches in
front of the eastern fortified ridges. j
The bombardment began at dawn ;
October 30 and infantry attacks were :
planned at noon against Ribbing j
mountain and on three Keek wan forts
The Japanese now occupy positions
which place the east side of the town
at their mercy.
The last assault has gained for
them positions which insure their
ability to enter the main east fort? j
whenever they are ready.
London, Nov. 4. —A dispatch to i>
news agency from St. Petersburg says j
Lieut. Gen. Stoessel, commander of j
the Russian troops at Port Arthur, is j
reported to be wounded in the leg.
The Daily Telegraph's Che Foo cor. i
respondent, telegraphing Thursday, i
says that the Japanese losses during j
the last assault on Port Arthur wen ;
heavier than on any of the previous
attacks. The bombardment, he says,
was so fierce that, the streets of Dalny
were said to tremble as though from
an earthquake.
ASSAULTS FAILED.
Che Foo, Nov. 5. —Information has
been brought by Chinese that the six
days of bombardment and desperate
efforts on the part of the beseigers to
take tho fortress at. Port Arthur !
ceased Wednesday. Tho Japanese
took Fort No. 3, but were unable to
hold it. The Japanese losses are re
; ported to be enormous.
It is reported that the Japanese I
killed or wounded in front of Port Ar- j
thur during the last three months ap
proximate 40,000.
There are persistent rumors that
the Japanese have occupied the forts
of Hihlung Mountain anil certain forts j
of Ihe Kekwan Mountain group, but j
well informed Japanese here consider
these rumors as premature. Thus j
i Japanese, however, are confident tlia ;
the end of the Russian occupation of
Port Arthur is fast approaching.
The fact that Gen. Nogi, com- 1
mander of the third Japanese army ;
before Port Arthur, has allowed press
dispatches to leave the front of the j
base of his operations is looked upon
as strongly indicating the confident
spirit of ilie besiegers.
VERDICT OF CORONER'S JURY, j
Without Provocation Was the Attack
on English Trawlers by Russian
Warships.
Hull, Eng., Nov. 3. —"That George
Smith and William Leggett were, at
about 1.2:30 a. m.on October 22, while
out fishing with trawls aboard the
British steam trawler Crane, with
board of trade marks exhibited and
regulation lights burning, killed by .
shots fired without warning or prove- j
cation from certain Russian war ves
sels at a distance, of about a quarter ,
of a mile."
This is the jury's verdict at the j
coroner's inquest, on the fishermen j
victims of the North Sea tragedy. At i
i the request of the British government
' this conservative award was rendered
j by the first court of inquiry preced
! ing the sessions of the international
j tribunal. The government asked the
j jury not to find a verdict of willful
j murder or manslaughter because
j "delicate negotiations are going on,
which should not be made more diffi
cult, and they ought not to let anyone
think they had prejudged the ease be- j
fore having heard both sides."
In consequence the jury simply set j
forth tin; facts proved by the evidence j
Jof physicians, experts on explosives ;
j and the trawlers themselves.

ily at home were in the best of health.
Shortly after midnight of their sec
ond day at St. Louis Muir awoke with
a start, found himself in a nervous
and apprehensive state of mind,
was not able to return to sleep.
Referring to the matter at the
breakfast table, he was informed that
his mother had passed through ar*
experience similar to his. They had
awakened at precisely the same mo
ment.
Before they had left the table »
telegram was handed to Muir inform
ing him that his brother had fallen
from a ladder the day before and that,
he had died at the very moment when,
the pair at St. Louis, 825 miles away
as the crow flies, had been aroiftod
from sleep by some subtle warning
of ill tidings.
HAPPY WOMEN.

I had a great M
ble with the
secretions,
which were exceedingly variable,some
times excessive and at other times
scanty. The color was high, and pass
ages were accompanied with a scalding l
Sensation. Doan's Kidney Pills soon
regulated the kidney secretions, malt
ing their color normal and banished
| the inflammation which caused the
scalding sensation. I can rest well,
my back is strong and sound and 1 feel
much better in every way."
