A COMPLETE CHANGE. The Angular, Bony Girl the One That Becomes a Beauty. ISS DORA - I am naturally fair, but my face, always sal- low, la coarse and muddy, with a few pimples and moth patches. Small pim- ples lately appear in my eyebrows ami renter of cheeks. They do not show much unless warm. When overneated my i.n looks ready to 'break out all over. 1 have live children, from four to sixteen, do all my own work;and get pretty tired. Do not eat much meal or rich food. Have never used lace powder. If you can tell me anything to whiten and soften my skiu J will be grateful, al* tliougli at thirly-eight I do not expect to look like a young girl. Answer It is more satisfaction giving hints to women near forty than to younger one-, who do led alwaj * I. now their own lie**d .says Shirley Dare in tne Philadelphia In- quirer. Women should know the weak joints of their temperament and guard these through early life. Hills who are fallow early may expect to add moth ?patches and freckles by and by from increasing congestion of the liver. It's useless to think of improving a muddy spotted complexion by any outward ap- plication, for the discoloration is in the lower layers of the skin, and calls for ?alterative treatment. The first thing needed in this ease is mere rest. A woman with five children ought to have at least lour help*, among them. The mother is evidently hearing a crisis In health, which may light up erysipelas, or a lingering, tedious breaking down. The daughter of sixteen will be the bet- ter and happier for life if she relieve-, her mother and gives 'iei a year's holi- day. It would probably be better if she ale more meat, lean, Juicy beef and muiton, to supply strength. She needs time for systematic bathing and rest.and when strength returns she should have drive-; on sunny days, or take easy walk-., tor this woman is not suffering for exercise. The only cosmetic 1 should venture to recommend her Is hot cider. made by diluting cider jelly, bailing and skimming it, drinking a glass warm on going to bed and in the morning, if agreeable* It can be made pleasant by adding half a teaspoonful of good rose Water to the glass; which makes a most lady like tipple, and the rose water Is sedative. Hot, sharp, unfermented cider is sponged on the face and dried on isa good wash for the skin. Apple pulp was one of the /ddest and best of cosmetics? cooling ami detersive, better than cucumber or strawberry cream, as Mild. Bleaching lotions are more or less irritant, and where there is bilious or malarial disorder in the blood, corro- sive sublimate washes, carbonate of potash creams or benzine lotions bring out tedious eruptions on face and hands. The Irritation of the skin "Dora" en- dures is aggravated by the heat of cooking and bending over a stove, which Bends the blood to tho lace. Cooking stoves should be set high enough to al- low of standing upright when using them, and forks and spoons lor cooking should have wooden handles fifteen to eighteen incites long. These are very convenient, and permit of cooking with- out roasting the housekeeper. A damp, close cellar often has much to do with a muddy, coarse complexion. Edith lam but thirty-live, yet I snore in my sleep, and am anxious to prevent the habit. Answer: Snoring results from two or three causes, perhaps all together. The inner membrane of the air passages thickens by disease or ad- vanced years, -, nd will not allow the breath to pass freely. Or, there is ca- tarrhal obstruction, or a heavy, undi- gested supper oppresses ihe sleeper. To break' up the habit of snoring one must be very careful to take early suppers, and wholesome ones. To keep the nasal membranes in condition thin and healthy, draw hot .saltwater up the nose three limes a day, snuffing it for live minutes, a-- hot as can be borne. Hot water promotes the absorption of morbid tissues. Hot compresses on the nose are also very good. On retiring tbe nose should be cleared, bathed and annnlnted thickly with soli pomade, vaseline or sweet oil, which keeps down obstruc- tions within, This should always be done in case of a ''stuffed cold." Any- one convicted of snoring ought to prac- tice these cares faithfully, which are not too much to avoid becoming a public and family affliction. Bella? What shall I do for my face? It is well enough in summer, but when the cold weather comes and I go out. or ride out. my nose turns red or purple und swells afterward. It has troubled me this way tor several winters. An- swer?This sounds like frost-bite or Plains. Chilblains on Hie nose are recog- nized ailments, Ilebra. the great Ger- man doctor, speaks of those who in smart, freezing weather suffer from frosting ol nose, hands or feet, and who are cither ainemic or lorOtic Thereis great difference in physical susceptibility to cold. One of the best remedies to restore tone to the skin is a liniment of two eggs, four tablespoon- ful spirits of turpentine and as much distilled vinegar shaken together. If too strong weaken with vinegar. A spoonful of decoction of poppy seed or a half teaspoonful of laudanum makes this more soothing. Before .going out in the cold see that all wraps, shoes and gloves are well warmed, not to take from the vigor of the weak circulation, and rub the nose with camphor or a lo- tion of a dessert spoonful of alumina pint of wafer, letting it dry, and then using cold cream over it. Hot foot baths may relieve the red ness and swell- ing of the nose, and a course of tonic treatment lor tlie general health should be taken. A Woman's Good Name. Many people who would recoil with horror from cutting a human creature's throat, which really does uot hurt very much and only last a moment, will mur- der a woman's good name without re- morse or compunction, and , that hurts worse than death tor a lifetime. Itis a meaner crime than murder, writes Bob- ert J. Burdette In his department in the April Ladies' Home Journal. We cry- out, and rightly, too, against the sensa- tional and depraving habit of making heroes of robbers and cutthroats. It is a horrible thing to do. And yet 1have less of hatred and loathing for the late Jesse James than 1 have for some peo- ple who have never been convicted of a capital crime, but whose tongues we know are worse than any knife that ever severed a human jugular. Mary Wilkins. Kew York World. Miss Mary Wllkins, the writer, is a Blender little woman, with a fair skin, blue eyes, clean-cut features and a nose that might be called sharp but for the gentleness and refinement of the face. She wears her hair in a knot at the nape of a neck which is simply perfect. .To emphasize this good point the bodices of her evening dresses are invariably cut very much V in the back. I and for this thn press Is ma great meas- ure responsible, for the mother-in-law has been the standard joke for years. Others pale and vanish from our sight, but there is hardly a paper you can pick { up at any time but has some allusion to his hackneyed subject. Now. why should a man's mother-in- law be made the subject of jest? Of course, there are notable examples that are trying and exasperating enough to tax the patience of Job, but just look at the army of patient, loving women who have been to scores of husbands as ten- der and devoted as their own mothers, and yet who, owing to their title, are made the subjects of idle jests and sar- castic mention. How many men, if they only would, could tell a tale of the dear old lady who cared for her married daughter through a long siege of illness, thereby saving the expense of a nurse and giv- ing her loving, constant attention that no price could obtain. Who also, when the babies came, cared for them at night, so that the bread-winner's rest should not be dis- turbed, and slaved for them by day, mending clothes, getting -them ready for school, and taking upon herself burdens that should rest on the parents' shoulders? Cannot many a man testify to delight- ful dishes prepared expressly for him by the much-maligned mother-in-law? Does she not mend his clothes, darn his stock- ings, and many times help him in finan- cial straits by offers of her savings? *'* Altogether is not your wife's mother one of your best friends, and if she is such why not staud*up for her and say: "1 have the best mother-in-law in tho world," instead of sitting quietly by and through your silence sanction the rude jokes of those who know nothing what- ever about her or what she has done for you. ?

She Was Evidently a Relative of the Famons Mrs. Partington. A certain Maine woman, who has plenty of dollars but a very hazy idea of English orthography, returned from a visit to New York la3t week, says the Lewiston Journal. Said she to a friend: "Oh, 1 had such a perfectly lovely time, everything was so convened, you know. We stopped in a house where we rode up to our room in a refrigera- tor, and I always bad my washing done at the foundry right there in the house.

Saints preserve us! I think it is bard enough that *,*..* female scrib- blers have to suf- fer under disad- vantage because of our womanhood, writes Dixie ill the I* h i 1 a de I phla Times. But when our age, or lack of it is used as a weapon against us, it is high time to begin to talk about wom- an's rights. My opening sentence Is quoted from an Intellectual woman, and was said in reference to the introduction of the book, ''Judith," written by my talented townswoman, Margaret K. O'Brien. , No, surely, there was no harm in it at - all. Then" why Should she, though a woman, and a very young one, not use that material which Is the BtoCK iii trade ' of humanity, provided she use it aright? j It is surprising how many intelligent persons associate the personality and J circumstances of an author with his brain product. The idea of sex and age should not hamper intellectual achievement, ii dii;. i* \u25a0*. of sex makes a difference In j minds, it is a difference oi quality and capacity only ; and the privileges of one should be granted the other in so tar as they are capable of using them. I,'nder no circumstances should we drag physical laws Into realms that are purely intellectual. Youth has its natural drawback of in- experience; let no false Ideas further encumber its usefulness. A writer who takes up his pen should, like the physician entering the sick room, divest himself of his personality and neve*" hesitate at anything that Ins I calling demands. Then here's with the \u25a0 Frenchman ? "Honl ?oit gui mal y pense!" To right and left you hear young women chattering about then com- panions who write, and wonder where where they learned so much Oil cer- tain subjects. W by, bless your souls, you dear little critics? they learned it from what you sco and hear and read about every day, and many of you could enlighten them a little further. A letter from a writer whose short articles have appeared In some of our best periodicals says: "1 shall bring out my book under a man's name." There it Is again! And yet there are people who blame Dr. Mary Walker for wearing pants. The only thing 1 have against her is that she didn't turn out a beard and learn to swear. Boast as we may of woman's present sphere, a man's name is still the magic wand that opens with a touch the brazen gates of public interest And it Is an argument in favor of the strength of the i feminine mind, that a masculine norn deplume is often a complete disguise. Some women still consider it expedient to arm their intellect with this figura- tive jawbone (now some mean old bachelor is going to say that tl:ey have too much jawbone already) in order to surprise and destroy the ten-thousands of the enemy. In my opinion it is a double pity that we were not all christened John Thomases and William Henrys. The disadvantage of being a Mary Ann can easily be canceled by a mascu- line alias; but our loving irluids will still continue to make it uncomfortable for us if we trespass on the unhallowed ground Unit lies just across tlie border of "prunes, poetry and prisms." The question Is, shall we allow our i usefulness to be restricted within these narrow bounds? A thousand times no!

MONO a certain class of men it has always been, and in all prob- ability itwillal- ways be, consid- ered a rare joke ) to ridicule and Jjibo the mother 'of their wife, says the Phila- delphia Times. This style of humor is by them considered legitimate- and com me ndable. of mastication is done for you. You don't even wash yourself. Besides be- ing washed you are. massaged and rubbed with oil. This last operation Is an intelligible part of the process of putting on fat, but not quite bo clear as the electricity. This sort of thing is done continuously for three months, and the woman who has gone through the operation that she may make a more presentable figure gets up with a light- er heart and a body perhaps two stone heavier. .Some women go through this process for the cure of nervous com- plaints. Do you think you would be willing to submit to this treatment for the sake of acquiring a plumpness which you do not now possess? PRETTY HOUSE DRESS. Directions for Making Up a Pretty Combination. V. B HAPS no question ever comes before the public more fre- quently than the hackneyed "Do woman pro- pose?" In nov- els - sometimes the heroine. who is enormously wealthy, assists the deserving young man who considers her > HE you painfully thin. 1)0 you ever stand be- fore your mirror and heave a sigh of regret at your lack of round- ness of face and form which is so apparent? If yon doso you may find consolation at hearing of a system of '"putting on flesh" as employed withsatisfactory results by a number of people. Briefly, you go to bed and allow yourself to be led up, says the Detroit Fice Press. In twenty- four hours yon have eight glasses of milk with cream, and three huge meals. That the fattening effect of all this food may not be al- lowed to be worked off you are allowed to make no exertion. Everything short of tin- process i ? YOU want to make a pretty house dress, take some warm, bright, soft material, that will make life seem more cheerful by its Uvery bright- \u25a0 ness, even to a "husband that has bet on the er that is on the at least an inch shorter, consequently, you want to avoid tliat. On stout wom- en, generally, a smooth, plain cloth Is most desirable, but I do not advise either the light grays, the biscuits or tiie wood colors, for they seem to add to the flesh, take away from the height and be everything but what they should be, becoming. Another thing that the stout woman must be- ware of is the overlapping seams and large bullous noted especially on the English !?>*; coats. The light cloths are most becoming to women who have dark hair and clear, rosy skin; they make pale women look sallow, and sallow women resemble a lemon. Here is another suggestion for the stout woman. Do not make the mistake of having too loug a coat, else you will look as if you were all body and no legs. The slender girl will be wise If, in a smooth-fitting coat, she has Inserted a waistcoat, for then she will apparently gain breadth, and the long, well-fitting outline is not ?interfered with. DOES A MAN OWN HIS WIFK ?: A Woman Protest** Against a Cur- rent Doctrine. Just at this moment, when so many women seem to have determined to be a law unto themselves in things matri- monial, will you allow one woman to en- ter a word of protest against the atrocity of separating a mother from her chil- dren just because she is suspected or even proven guilty of preferring some other man to her husband? A child belongs by every law of nat- ure to the mother, says the Baltimore Herald, itis not in obedience to the laws of man that she brings it into the '. world in anguish inconceivable to those who have not Buffered it, and no law of! man, Hod or nature can alter the rela- tion. Because she proves a "bad wife."\ whatever that may mean, she may all the more be a good mother, and better able to do her duty by her child if her own surroundings are harmonious.' For. ifa woman be in a state of revolt aud hatred aga'nst the father, who suf- fers from it so much as the child? And one word as to this idea of own- ership in a wife, for fancied interfer- ence with which some men shoot other men. ls it not a mistake? Since slav- ery was abolished, if, indeed, it be abol- ished, no human being can own anoth- er. A woman is, to my thinking, born free and equal to man in all respects, and owns herself. Men talk about stealing a wife from her husband as though she were some sort of a prize animal, bought and paid for. A woman belongs to herself, no matter under what social conditions she may be living,and the children she bears "are hers, as well. There seems something shortsighted in the law that gives au illegal mother the right to her child tliat the wife does not possess. < 'Ininbrays and Batistes. New York Press. The daintily toned chambray and bat- istes of this season are going to be made up with .more self-colored embroidery than has ever entered before into the construction of wash gown. Wash gowns, by the way, is a wrongfully ap- plied term, for few of them are intended to be washed. The shirrings alone make the washtub an impossible future for them to' contemplate. They must go to the French cleaners or be thrown away. This one, for iustauce has a shirred yoke defined by a strip of embroidery, and a turn-back cuff and lower sleeve are also of embroidery. The sleeves are puffed on to a lining whicii would pull every which way- were they washed, and the girdle is of the dress material. When "the dearest girl in the world" robes herself in a gown like this, in pale pink, blue or cream, pins to her curls a shirred mull hat and lets somebody In flannels and a blazer walk around under some trees with her, he will prove himself too utterly commonplace for toleration if he does not at least try to write things about her and pin them up to trees or carve hearts on the bark, or conduct himself generally in an Orlando-like fashion. ' A GAME OF WHIPSAW. \u25a0 Western Railroads Exercised Over the Effects of the Rate War. : Deprived of the Benefit of the Cut on Chicago-Ohio River Rates. Interstate Commerce Agents Hustling for Evidence of Violations. Some Startling Developments Promised in Several Cities at an Early Date. Chicago, April 16.? The roads In the Western Passenger association are con- siderably exercised today because of the effect the Chicago and Ohio river rate war is having upon their business. 1 With each reduction announced by the 1 Pennsylvania and Monon comes ? ten- \ der to them, through Chairman Finley's oflice, of the new tariff on which to base I through rates from Western points to Indianapolis, Louisville, Cincinnati and | Columbus. Before being adopted the members are asked to send in their votes on the question. Wlien the latest proposition was submitted one line, supposed to be the Missouri Pacific, winch is averse to having the business go through Chi- cago, voted against it. Consequently the chairman announced today that the proposition was negatived, and that through rates must remain unchanged. The Chicago _; Alton, however, whicii is not a member of the association, has already adopted the new scale for bas- in? purposes, and the Rock Island and other roads will uo the same, regardless of the chairman's ruling. VIOLATIONS OF LAW. Interstate Agents on the Hustle for Evidence. Chicago, April ifi.*?lt is reported thai more Investigations into alleged violations of the Interstate commerce ; law will be made by llie federal grand jury which has been called to convene ! here May 3. Special Agent Kretsehmer, j who represents the commission, i has been seriously at work i gathering evidence against vari- ous freight agents and ship- pers, and there Is a promise of de- velopments far more sensational than anything that has yet been brought to light. In the meantime those whoare indicted by the last federal grand jury have piepared no defense and entered no plea, and itis believed they will fall back upon the supreme court's decision in the Cou nselman case as a sufficient safeguard against conviction. L.This decision was practically that neither the shipper nor the representa- tive of any railroad with which he deals i can be compelled to criminate himself in any case under the Interstate com- ] merce law. It is practically impossible ' to obtain evidence to convict under that i law. For answer to this the Tribune : this morning prints more than a full page of fac siinilles of documents and attested copies, all of which, it claims, !are admissible lv evidence, showing numerous violations of the law. it summarizes the results of its investiga- I tion* as follows: The proof is herewith presented of the 1 payment to J. V. Far well & Co.. by thu ; Delaware, Lackawanna & Western company, of a rebate tor (6,681. Proof ; is given* that Swift & Co.. through a ! confidential clerk named A. It. Hay, have received extensive rebates from the Lackawanna line. The rebates . were paid to this clerk under the guise lof cogiiii-ttslon*. Convincing testimony over the signature of the oflicial who 1 granted the rebate is presented which j proves that the West Shore road ar- ! ranged to pay back a direct rebate of 1 cent a hundred pounds ou i large shipments of marble from the" Rutland quarries to Philadelphia. The Standard Oil company and the sugar trust are show to have received payments in the shape oi rebates for lighterage, which would bear a rigid in- vestigation. Rebates in the form of cartage allowances have been paid to J. 15. Manning, of Buffalo. N. V., ou a shipment ot malt to Weehawken. N. .1. Evidence is given showing special rates on shipments of paper from Sa u- gerlies to Minneapolis and St. Paul, in direct violation of the interstate law. Proof is given of extensive discrimina- tion iv the making of deep cuts by spe- cial rales in favor of C. <". C. Oterson, a large broom manufacturer, It is shown that the New York Central has made extensive cuts by means of underbilling the weight of cars. Evidence is at hand which proves that the large meat shippers, including Messrs. Armour, Swift and Morris, are allowed to bill their goods to New York city, and, by stopping them nt Jersey City, a point whicii carries the same railroad tariff as New York, are given a refund, alleged to bo for lighterage charges, because the products were never lightered, this refund amounts to three cents per 100 pounds and is a direct cut of the rate. These shippers are also obtaining payment of one-quarter cent per mile extra mileage upon the railroad cars owned by them. This form of rebate has been declared by the interstate commerce commission to be particularly obnox- ious, and they have said that .they will move in the prosecution of persons ob- taining such a rebate it they can secure the evidence. Evidence will be found of the pay- ment of rebates by direct arrangement to refund a certain proportion of the charges by manipulation of elevator charges; by the repayment of lighter- age charges; by making cartage allow- ances, and in a number of other ways which the ingenuity of the railway men and the shippers have devised. Omaha, April 15.? Special Agent Kietchmar. of the interstate commerce commission, is in Omaha, and in rail- road circles it is said trouble is ahead for some oflicials. Kretchmar was here last November with evidence tending to show that the Missouri Pacific had manipulated rates on meats shipped from South Omaha to Kansas City, and that the Burlington and Missouri had given favored shippers preferences on consignment of stone from Omaha. He proposed taking the cases to the United Statesgrand jury then in ses- sion, but was prevented because several of the most important witnesses eluded the service of subpoenas. .Another grand jury will nuj-'t in .
