HOW TO LOOK GOOD.
Good looks are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on a
healthy condition of all the vital or
gans. If the liver be inactive, you
have a bilious look ; if your stomach
be disordered, you have a dyspeptic
look; if your kidneys be affected, you
have a pipched look. Secure good
health, and you will surely have good
looks. “Electric Bitters” is a good
Alterative and Tonic. Acts directly
on the stomach, liver and kidneys.
Purifies the blood, cures pimples,
blotches and boils, and gives a good
complexion. Every bottle guaranteed

Peace in Pnerto Rico.
The meetings under flag of truce
occur now every day, but with much
1 less formality, we having been invited
to lunch at their fortifications, and
i they having come into the city and
I accepted like hospitality. One of
these visits forms the subject of my
second sketch. The soldiers sur
rounded the Spanish detail and begged
for souvenirs. The Spaniards were
more than willing to exchange, and
did so to such an extent that not a
button, buckle nor sign of rank was
left on their uniforms. The officers’
uniforms were also minus a button
here and there. Our own escort, en
tering the entrenchments of the Span
ish, were importuned in the same
manner, until everything movable was
sacrificed to the greed for mementos.
In the streets of Ponce one is pestered
all day by numerous venders of but
tons, swords, uniforms and cockades,
and it is now rumored that an enter
prising manufacturer is reaping a har
vest. While in Ponce I had the good
fortune to see the reception given by
the “400" of Ponce to General Miles,
General Wilson and numerous offi
cers.
There are in the cities many weal
thy people, as one might imagine
from the numerous large plantations
hereabouts, but one rarely sees a fam
ily or gets a glimpse of their family
life. As soldiers, we are continually
in communication with the poorer
classes, and I must say the impression
given by this continual association has
nor been to their advantage. I found
the refined Portorriqueno women to
be of exceptional beauty. Their
manner and grace had the stamp of
refinement, and their dress, in rich
ness and taste, was what one would
only expect to see in New York's best
society. They seated themselves in
rows along the walls, and a conversa
tion could only be commenced after
many verbal formalities. The danc
ing was painfully graceful, and quite
different from the "hop, skip and
jump” balls of America. The men
were tall and slender, rather pale,
dignified and polite. Their clothes
were becoming, hinting at no small
tailor's bill. They are extremely fond
of their women, and act toward and
speak of them with the most delicate
courtesy. In conversation with a
Portorriqueno he fondly boasted that
their women could never degenerate
to the “new women” class, and from
what I saw I think the point well
taken.
General Miles was received gra
ciously. He was dressed in a white
fatigue uniform, but was hardly recog
nizable without his characteristic
mustache.
The orchestra opened with one ot
Sousa’s marches, and immediately
followed with a very serious composi
tion by a native.
Dancing and the refreshments fol
lowed, and at'a late hour the “Star-
Spangled Banner” was rendered, in a
way which showed that the song was
unfamiliar; but they have abided with
us only a few days, and we can afford
to be lenient.—T. D. Walker in Har
per's Weekly.

The Smoking Habit.
Five billion cigars and 3,750,000,-
000 cigarettes were smoked in this
country in the last fiscal year. As
suming that there are 25,000,000
males of smoking age, this means
200 cigars and 150 cigarettes for each
one of them.
Thus, while the gross figures sug
gest that the people of these United
States, without regard to sex or age,
smoke cigars and cigarettes incess
antly from rising until bed time, the
per capita figures show that there
must be many more non-smokers
than we think, and that the smokers
are'as a rule not given to excess.
It appears, further, that, while the
j consumption of cigars increased by
850,000,000 over the previous year,

! It is probable that the bicycle,
which has had such amazing effects
in decreasing the sale and distribution
of books, is also chiefly responsible
for this tremendous decline in the
popularity of cigarettes.—New York

A Few Doses will Demonstrate
its Superlative Virtues.
FRIENDSHIP-
There is no more helpful relation
in life than that of friend to friend.
From members of our own family we
receive affection, but a friend brings
an outside element into our life that
is very necessary if we would not be
oome isolated, bigoted and peculiar
in our manners and methods ol
thinking.
It is only the noble-hearted who
can be noble friends. The truest
friendship demands not only sympa
thy and affection, but a certain aloof
ness, and superiority to petty curiosi
ties and details that shall leave the
participants time for higher things.
The relation should be intimate, and
yet it should not encroach upon the
most absolute freedom and indepen
dence.
There are many stumbling blocks
to friendship, perhaps none greater
than supersensitiveness. If you can
not talk freely with a person without
constantly fearing that you may hurt
her feelings, there is little real pleas
ure or profit in the association. We
wish to treat our friends with candid
familiarity, to tell them frankly what
we think and feel, to use them as we
use our books, for pleasure and for
counsel and to forego their company
when we feel the need of solitude, or
when home duties call 11s away. A
friend who is offended by a sincere
and plainly spoken opinion or by our
response to the demands of others
who have a closer claim, is no true
friend.
Women, especially young women,
are more apt than men to form exact
ing sentimental friendship. 'They
give all and demand all with the jeal
ous insistence of lovers. They ques
tion the claim of brother, sister, hus
band, children, and the victim of such
exaggerated and unnatural devotion
must neglect home duties or break
with her friend.
The most satisfactory friendship is
! based upon equality of age, intelli
gence and circumstances. We owe
a certain respect to our elders, a def
erence that checks unrestrained asso
ciation. In the presence of our su
periors in intelligence we hesitate to
express our convictions.
“Is Mrs. D. a friend of yours?” I
asked a young housewife.
“Oh, yes !” with animation. Then
her face fell as she added, “She came
to see me a while ago, and I was so
mortified ! The front porch was not
swept and the children were untidy,
and it was 3 o’clock and J did not
have my housework finished. Baby
was not well, and I was hindered in
my work.”
“Mrs. D. is an acquaintance, but
no friend,” I said, “or you would not
have felt mortified.”
“But Mrs. D. is such a fine house
keeper! She is so systematic that
she cannot understand neglect or
delay.”
“I am glad you do not feel about
me as you do about Mrs. J).”
“You! You dear thing!” she
laughed with delightful merriment.
“You always understand. I feel as
though you had been through it all
yourself. You know I could not
leave my sick baby even though the
house was upside down. You arc
helpful and sympathetic and not criti
cal,” and she gave me her baby to
take care of with the freedom of
friendship, and I heard her singing as
she moved quickly about setting
things to rights.
“Sympathetic and helpful, but not
critical”—there could be no bette r
description of a friend—one to whom
we can reveal ourselves as we are ;
faults and virtues, weaknesses and
vanities, hopes and fears, sorrows and
necessities and poverties.
As we grow older opportunities to
form new friendships with those of our
own age become rare, but few of us
make the most of the opportunities
that present themselves. The old
need friends. There is not the same
desire for company that the young
feel, but there is much need of it.
Men and women who grow old alone
I become morbid and selfish. They
need the conversation of a friend to
| help them to express their thoughts
and to give them new ideas. They
need the affection of friends to keep
their hearts young.
Whether old or young, let us be
friendly. Let us hold fast the friends
we have, binding them to us by bonds 1
of loving service, cheerful sympathy
and frank tenderness. Let us make
new friends that we may increase in
| wisdom and experience, finding ever
| fresh inspiration in the interchange of
gentle courtesies.—Aunt Jane in
Home and Farm.

A Gentle Prompter,
Ministers generally have a stock of
good wedding stories, but a rather
odd little incident took place at an
Episcopal rectory in this city not long
ago.
It was a very stormy night and the
bride and groom arrived alone about
9 o'clock, having had to walk a long
way against the storm, and the poor
little bride was almost worn out with
fatigue and nervousness.
After a few words explaining the
service to the couple, the minister
put on his surplice and began the
ceremony. All went beautifully until
the question, “Eliza, will you have
this man to he your wedded hus
band,” etc., came upon the scene.
The minister read it through with his
most kindly and fatherly air, but
when he finished the bride was dumb,
not a word could he get out of her.
Ihe long question was repeated, the
minister’s voice taking on a most in
sinuating rise toward its end, but still
there was silence.
Before the groom had seemed flus
tered, but his feelings then were noth
ing to what they appeared to be at the
second halt.
With an admonishing kick that
reached to the rector and made him
rub his unlucky shins, the irate bride
groom announced in a loud stage
whisper: “Darn you, Liza, why
don t you speak up and tell him
‘yes.’ ”
And wonders will never cease, for,
even after such an exhibition of her
future lord and master’s temper, Liza
spoke, and all she said was “yes.”—

Du. VV. A. Wiuairr,
A Until Letter Law.
In chapter iv, pages 448 and 449,
sections i6£6 and 1638 of the code
of Georgia, there is a law that is not
enforced in many counties and is said
to be practically dead.
'These sections state that in every
county the ordinary shall be supplied
with standard weights and measures
by the state and that all persons sell
ing goods in said county shall be com
pelled to take their weights and meas
ures to the ordinary and have them
tested and his seal put upon them.
If anybody has been selling goods
that were not weighed by these meas
ures and a complaint was made they
would be presented to the grand jury
for violation of the law.
The law also goes on to state that
if a bill is made against any person
for goods bought which were not
measured with the ordinary’s mark
the person is compelled to pay only
three fourths of the bill, and before
1893 he was not compelled to pay
any of the bill.
Eye Message.
“Whenever your organs of sight
feel weak do not claw at them with
the knuckles, so to express it. You
must not massage youreyes the same
way you would the stronger parts of
the body. They need help from the
hands,” says Healthy Home, “but
this help must be administered in a
very gentle and delicate method.
“John Quincy Adams had a way of I
treating his eyes, which, it is said, j
preserved their vision to old age |
without the help of spectacles.
“This was to place his thumb and j
forefinger each upon an eyelid and
gently rub them toward the nose a j
number of times each day. The ac -
tion encourages circulation of the
blood in that locality, does away with
the tiny spots that sometimes float
before the vision, and prevents that
flattening of the lenses which causes
dimness of sight at a certain focus.
“It is Wonderful how much good
can be done the eyes of people of all
ages by using this simple exercise 10
or 15 minutes each day.
“Ifyou are where it may not be!
convenient to measure time, as in I
the dark, it is well to count the num
ber of passes made by the fingers ;
over the eyes, until you have reached
the number that you have demon
stated by experiment that time will
allov/.
“For instance, when you awake in
the night and have the blues because
your sight is failing, spend a little
time massaging the eyes, instead of
worrying about them.”
“Saved Her Life.”
MRS. JOHN WALLET, of Jefferson,
Wts., than whom none Is more highly
esteemed or widely known, writes.
"In 1890 I had a severe attack of LaGripps
and at the end of four months. In spite of all
physicians, friends and good nursing could
do, my lungs heart and nervous system were
so completely wrecked, my life was de
spaired of, my friends giving me up. I could
only sleep by the use of opiates. My lungs
and heart pained mo terribly and my cough
was most aggravating. I could not lie In
one position but a short time and not on my
loft side at all. My husband brought me
