IN BEAUTY'S SCHOOL.
“’Tis beauty truly bent whose red and white
Nature’s own sweet and cunning hand laid on.”
A woman is no longer considered vain
who exerts every effort to preserve and
improve her complexion. Sensible people
not only consider it time well spent, but
look upon it in the light of duty. We
must learn to cure imperfections, not to
hide them. A woman may have features
as classic as a Greek goddess, but if her
complexion is blotched she cannot be at
tractive, while the plainest face has a
charm if the complexion is clear and soft.
Hygiene Skin Food is soothing, cleans
ing and healing. Will counteract all
effects of cosmetics. It has the quality of
preventing wrinkles, the great destroyers
of beauty. Freckles are produced by an
unequal distribution of the pigments of
the skin. No positive cure has ever been
found, but they can be wonderfully toned
down by the use of Hygiene Skin Food.
It is a positive cure for pimples, ring
worms, eczema, tetter, or any cutaneous
blotch or blemish. Will make thin,
scrawny hands soft and plump, and will
lessen the pressure which causes large
veins on the back of the hands. It im
parts a healthy, youthful freshness to the
skin. Will positively develop the bust
when used as directed. It does its work
while you sleep. By mail, 50c.

BESSIE.
BY JENNIE KLINE.
Golden curls and eyes of blue.
Little round cheeks with rosy hue.
Pearls forteeth, just peeping’through
Lips where the kisses hide from you:
That is baby Bessie.
Dolls and dishes. Who has made
This little nlay-house in the shade;
A carpet green that will not fade,
With yellow sunshine spots inlaid?
Wbo? Why, little Bessie.
Off to school with book and slate,
Trudging along with pace sedate,
Hoping to grow both wise and great,
I am sure she’ll not be late,
Darling little Bessie.
There is a maiden fair and free,
And beside her—who can it be
Down in the shade of the maple tree —
Ah, dear girl, I can plainly see,
Somebody else loves Bessie.

MABEL S LESSONS IN ART.
No. 13.
E have seen in former lessons
that the Turanian race when
pure was not able to write his-
W
tory, and so we have very little that is re
liable until this race becomes mixed with
the Aryan race, which is the case with the
Greeks,
Homer, wishing to express the excel
lence of the figures worked by Vulcan on
the shield of Achilles, compares them to
figures sculptured by Daedalus for Ariadne.
There appears to have been more than one
Daedalus. There was another artist named
Hephaestus, and many writers believe that
Hephaestus was a general name for early
workers in metal, and Daedalus for work
ers in wood. Another name of those days
is Smilis, also Endceus.
After those names there occurs a blank
in the history of Greek sculpture, a dark
period resulting from the Dorian invasion,
when we come to a period eight or nine
hundred years before the Christian Era.
The first Greek sculptor mentioned after
the revival of art is Galtiadas, a native of
Sparta, who exercised the double profes
sion of Architecture and Sculpture, 750
B. C.
The sculptors’ names next handed down
by early writers are Telecles, Rhcecus, and
Theoclorus; they may have lived at one
time. Telecles has the credit of inventing
the mode of forming clay figures in moulds
or by modeling with tools.
To Theoclorus is credited the art of cast
ing in iron, also to Dipserius. These pre
ceded the entering into Greece of Darius,
the Persian, who effected a vast destruc
tion of the works of art then existing. I
think it was before the destruction by the
Persians that Dipamus and Scyllis had the
credit of bringing marble into repute as a
material for sculpture. They were natives
of Crete, who went to exercise the art of
sculpture at Sycon, which was the great
center of art in Greece.
We have glanced at those schools or pe
riods of sculpture, which, having more or
less of the soil of Greece as a theatre, or
the genius of the Greeks as an incentive,
exhibit results less graceful, beautiful and
perfect than those which belonged to
Greece in her best days, although the ex
amples are widely spread and comprising
Xanthus in the East, Selinus in the south
west; Etruria in the northwest, and Greece
in the center; and although among these
the Etrurians cannot with certainty be
traced to a Greek origin, yet we may con
sider these all to have exerted some sort of
influence towards that more perfect sculp
ture which in the age of Phidias and Prax
iteles commanded so much the admiration
of the world. Two hundred and fifty
years elapsed between the days of Dipin
nus, Scyllis and Phidias.
By a custom among the Greeks, one
tenth of all the spoils taken in war belong
ed to the gods; and the spoils loft behind
them by the defeated Persians formed an
enormous fund disposable for the building
of temples to the gods and the sculpturing
of images symbolical of them.
The enthusiasm for art thus created
brought forth the talents of a galaxy of
sculptors whose works attained the great
est excellence. In the same century of the
destruction of the armament of Xerxes,
appeared Phidias and numerous others
eminent for skill in art. Os these Phidias
is the first and the greatest, the Minerva
and the Jupiter being his two greatest
works. He excelled in the representation
of gods rather than men.

water in which the hemp is to be boiled
four hours, filled to four gallons when
done, twenty pounds purified cement,
twenty pounds marble or alabaster pow

A second mixture is made of the lime

A part of both these mixtures is then
pounded in a mortar, and stirred until it

ALAN McCOY.
{Continued from page 3.)
oak above, mesmerized Alan to that con
dition of natural intoxication where verv
existence is an indescribable pleasure. In
to this state trouble and sorrow never en
ter. Our bodies, like our spirits, become
tranquil and serene. Were we capable of
feeling aggrieved at anything, it would be
at the thought that this delicious halluci
nation could ever end. It is to the soul
what morphine is to the body; it is na
ture’s opiate, under whose necromantic
spell we fain would live forever, and be
supremely happy for the mere joy of it.
Such was the delightful realm to which
Alan had drifted. He was as perfectly
unconscious of his surroundings as if he
had been wrapt in slumber. Yet he slept
not, but reveled in fields Elysian; lived in
dreams of beauty, and conjured up visions
of exquisite loveliness. How long he
would nave remained under the influence
of this delectable hypnotism is uncertain,
had not his aunt aroused him.
“I have been looking for you for at least
a quarter of an hour, Alan,” she said as
she came up to the carriage.
Alan turned bis eyes stupidly in the di
rection of the voice. Then he noticed that
the sun was sinking behind the hills, and
that the people were leaving the grove.
During the drive home Alan said but lit
tle. He was busy with his own thoughts,
and only half listened to Aunt Mary’s
running comments on the day’s happen
ings.
It was growing dark when “Jack,” dusty
and salt-begrimed, drew the carriage up
by the front gate and announced by an
impatient neigh to bis fellow horses his ar
rival on the premises. Released from his
harness, he, with his equine associates
who had idly remained at home, were
turned into the sweet-smelling pasture.
Here they cropped their suppor from the
tender young grass, already seasoned by
the evening dew. The cows had come
home and were patiently waiting at the
gate to be relieved of their daily contribu
tion to the milk supply. The pigs were
fussing impatiently for their supper of
ground corn and oats.
Alan went about these daily duties with
his mind filled with thoughts of Effie
Strong. The Woman had more than ful
filled the promises of the girl. With
years, and their attendant sorrow and pri
vation, came the evidence of a nobler,
finer soul. Experience had added to the
girlish face strong character lines of pa
tience and endurance. Maternity had kin
dled the fires of self-sacrifice and content
ment, the soft glow of which lent a richer
color to her dark blue eyes. A greater ex
perience and deeper knowledge of the
world had widened and broadened her
whole nature and established that charity
which is the greatest of all virtues. Age
had enhanced both physical and intellectu
al charms, and if Alan as a boy had been
drawn to Effie Strong, the attraction to
him as a man in middle life had been dou
bled. This was the incontrovertible con
viction that Alan had reached ere his eyes
closed in slumber.
(To be continued )
Wise and witty sayings often fall to the
ground unmolested, but kind words are
seldom, if ever, entirely lost.
