ooo often wonders why some women seem
to neglect the care of theirs entirely
They never seem to mind if they ire

aro attractive, or tho very reverse.
Wo all know the woman from whose
lips we would welcome a kins, and we
also, alas! know others from whom such
a mark of favor would be the very last
thing we desired to have bestowed upon
us. Lips to be perfection must be soft
and healthy looking, with a pretty rod
color in them, Deep red lips have
something startling about them, only look
well when seen on very young children.
Though very red lips do not follow us
into old ago, we can at least keep them
fresh and attractive-looking all our lives.
To do this great care must be taken to
remain in perfect health, and also to
attend to any little ailment of tho lips as
soon as it is noticed.
Too much sitting over the fire and too
ittle outdoor exercise is fatal to the
beauty of the lips.
Very pale-colored lips, of course, show
that tho possessor is much out of health,
usually suffering from bloodlessness,

of milk drunk, aud outdoor exorcise

Jeff Sterrett was a Confederate soldier
who served as a private, and who is one
of the two or three privates who survived
the war. He'was somewhat sentimental
nd naturally fell in love with any good
looking girl he might see. He fell in

boro and slipped off to see her at every
opportunity, Ooe day his feelings so
overwhelmed him that he suddenly
found himself proposing marriage to her.
No," she replied, her eyes filling, "I
can never marry you.
Sterrett was surprised.
"Why not?" he asked.
"Oh, my heart is gone. It's in the
grave, it was buried when tuey burned

That was too much for Sterrett. lie
at once became angry.
Very well, miss," he said. "If you

General Cosby had a mania for burn
ing down bridges. Whenever be heard
there was a bridge in his neighborhood
he promptly had it laid low. His
continuous destruction of bridges several
times got himself and his men in tight
places, where a bridge would have come
in mighty handy, and resulted in an
uneasy feeling among his men.
He moved into Virginia in the
neighborhood of the Natural bridge and
one day gave his men permission to
inspect the great natural wonder. Two
cavalrymen, one of a poetic turn and the
other of a worldly, practical turn, hap
pened to go there together.
"Isn't this the most stupendous,
magnificent, grand view you ever saw?"
exclaimed the poetie man giandiloquent
ly. "Gaio upon that landscape. See
how beautiful ate the works of nature."
He continued in this strain several
minutes and finally asked the other his
opinion.
"I don't know much about its being
stupendous, nor any 0' that sort 0' thing:
but I'm d d glad that we've found
one bridge that Cosby can't burn up."

Clearest evidence shows that our earth
was once "a lurid haze of night," and
that for countless years afterward her
globe was instinct with fiery hcut, amid
which no forms of life could be conocived
to exist, after the manner of life koowo
to us. In the sun, the ruler of the plan
etary system, we have an orb represent
ing the earlier stage of the past history
of earth, when it was a mass of glowing
vapor. The glory of the sun and his
fiery heat assure us, as with the clearest
words, that he is in the infancy of his
career as an orb in space. The spectro
scope reveals to us that many of the ele
ments to be found on our earth exist
in the sun form of glowiog
vapor. With regard to the mean densi
ty of the sun, we find that instead of be
ing far more compressed than the earth,
as we might expect from its eourniuus mass
were it in the same condition, it has a
mean density only ooe fourth of hers. All
these features prove that the sun is in
the first stage of I ho life, the glowing,
vaporous stage, when tbe whole framo of
a planet is instinct with fiery heat and
aglow with intense luster.
We will find the second stage of a world's
growth in the giant planot Jupiter. At
this period of its existence the earth was
surrounded by deep masses of clouds
the water was boiling on its surfaoe, the
whole air was red hot. Ihe heat was
so intense that the water could no more
havo rested on that surface than it can
rest on a surface of red hot irou. Vast
quantities of steam rushed upward, pass
iog with terrific uproar into the upper
air. i he waters now torming the seas
and oceans on our earth were then in the
form of vapor. At this stage of its ca
rcer the whole trame ot tbe earth was
enveloped by dense clouds. These clouds
were in an atmosphere drenched with
muriatic, sulphuric and other acids,
which, together with boiling water, de
scended upon the earth in the form of
intensely hot rain. Alter having been
subjected to these forces the earth arrived
at the present stage of existence, when
it has become the abode of life. After
having served as the home of mankind
it will slowly lose its fertility, imper
ceptibly fade away, as man himself docs)
and finally arrive at the fourth period ol
a planet's life the stage of planetary
docreptilude, as shown in tho pluiot
Mars.
When we examine Mars, we cannot
help noticing the comparative smallness
of its water surface. The seas on Mars
cover but ooe half of tbe planet's surface,
while 00 our earth the proportion the
water surface bears to the surface of land
is 72 to 28. The conclusion seems to be
that the older the planet the smaller the
oceans. This view seems startling at
first, but it has been confirmed by scien
tists such as Sterry Hunt, of America,
Frankland, of England, Mcunier, of
France, Secmann, of Germany. Accord
ing to their theory, tho oceans of the
planet, as it grows older, are withdrawn
into cavities, while the atmosphere grows
rarer and rarer, until life becomes an im
possibility. Finally the planet becomes
waterless and airless and arrives at Ihe
tiuil stage of death. We have this peri
od represented by the moon, and it shows
how our earth wilt be when it has reach

So we have to accept the evidence that
death has to como upon the earth at some
future lime, however unpleasant the
thought may be, and that after life has
gone from our earth it may pass to the
larger planets. Then, after millions of
years, during which Jupiter and the
other planets of the solar system may be
come ihe abode of life, a period may
oome when death will reign throughout
the wholo planetary system. Then life
may pasa to another solar system, aud bo,

Seldom is a more pathetio scene pre
sented in a court of justice than the otic
which centers about a little laded woman
who was brought beforo a Now Yoik
magistrate several days ago.
Kent with age and leaning upon a
heavy stick, she entered the court room,
bllowed by a stout, brutal looking man.
In her wan face, which was half conceal
ed by the bonnet which she had ou, the
story of a sad life was written a life
which had little in common with the
world's joy and which answered to the
definition of a living sorrow. The wrink
les on her forehead were partially the
work of time, but they told of deeper
furrows underneath the surface which
grief bad traced with its burning plow
share.
The man who followed her into the
courtroom was her own son. As strange
as it may seem, he had come
for the purpose of preferring a
charge against her. Having no better
reason for this course than a fiendish
desire to rid himself of the woman who
had suffered a world of agony for his
sake and who even then hungry for his
love, he asked that she bo held on the
charge of drunkenness. ' She's a nui
sance," observed the mao, "and is in the
habit of getting drunk, and something
must be done with her."
Turning to the brute and fixing his
eyes upon him in a stern, penetrating
gaze, tbe magistrate said: "Sir, there was
a time when sho was not drunk, and that
was when she bore you. In dragging
your poor mother into court you have
not a spark ot manhood in you. one is
the best friend you have on earth and
you should stick to her. I would be as
mean a man as you are if I committed
her to jail."
1 bese noble words of the magistrate
will strike a responsive chord in every
heart that eoshrines the love of a mother
After all, there is compensation in tears
and perhaps the grief of this womau is
designed as an object lesson for the youtli
of the land.
Ooe of the last words of John Ran
dolph, the great orator and statesman of
Virginia, as he tossed upon bis bod in a
wild fever of delirium, was the name of
his mother. His life itself was a tribute
of respect to her, and from boyhood she
had been his confidential friend. Men
often misconstrued his motives and looked
upon him as a bitter remorseless enemy
of those who opposed him in the halls of
Congress and who had more than once
folt the sting of his satire, but his mother
uuderstood bim and he oould always find
comfort at this unfailing source of conso-
ation. On one occasion the great Vir
ginian introduced to his mother a young
lady who observed, with a touch of flat
tery, that she was glad to meet the moth
er who could boast of such a son. To
this remark Randolph replied that she
ought rather to congratulate the son who
could boast of such a mother.
No true man ever ignored the claims
of the gentle creature who gave him
birth. The greatest debt which til
woild owes today is to the noble women
who have shaped its destiny and wrought
its civilizitiou not through any deeds
which they themselves have performed
but through the silent influence which
they have exercised as mothers

Lieut. C. A. L. Totton, U. S. A.,
whose interpretations of tbe Bible and
prophecies have wou bim fame in the
past, thinks that the end of the age is at
band, and that the St. Louis tornado, tbe
political situation and other present coo
ditions prove that he is right. In a
statement of his views, which he has just
issued, he suys :
It will not be denied that if a mag-
not revolves in a ciicular orbit about a
central core that is in connection with a
register, the register will indicate no
variation during the revolution, while, if
the revolution be eccentric, as, fur in
stance, in an elliptical orbit, the register
will inevitably indicate maxima and
minima, as tbe outward magnet draws
near to and away from the central core.
Now, the earth is just such a magnet,
revolving about the sun, which is another,
rotating about its own axis. Hence the
needle points to the north, because of
the thermo electric action of ihe sun
upon tbe whole magnet. As the earth's
orbit is elliptical, it is a well known
scientific fact that we have periods of
maxima and minima in electrical phe
nomena, during both the diurnal motion
and the yearly revolution, as well as a
secular rise and full.
"So with all the planets. When thoy
are at their nearest to tbe sun, or in
perihelia, we have a maximum, and the
reverse obtains at their aphelia. When
two or more planets are in coincident re
lation the cosmic resultant is increased.
"Let it now be noticed that wo (hu
man beings) are tbe denizens of our
terrestrial magnet, its subjects, so to
speak, and arc bound to show forth the
influence in our collective capacity, And
not only we but the atmosphere and the
sea, aye, and the depths beneath, yea,
and the physical currents in the human
body and all that this implies must and
will and do respond to the varying influ
enecs of the solar systeiu, as a whole,
and as expressed at the sola centre, and
then telegraphed outward to all of its
elements.
"Now, I am advancing now new theory
but one founded 00 tho works of no less
authority than Noah Webster, whose
dUquisition upon storms, pestilences, their
lislory and periodicity, was considered
mpottant euough by our ancestors to be
published at Government expense about
101) years ago. He was followed by Dr.
Knapp, of Chicago, who, in 1882, pro
pouoded the porihelian theory, and an
ticipatod all that is now going 00 in the
solar system. So also Benner, famous
among all stock brokers, financiers, and
rain merchants for his prophecies as to
the cycles of trade, the rise aud fall of
prices, elaborated tbe idea from another
standpoint, and a host of other specialists
have treated it along the whole range
of religion, politics, business, crime, in
sanity, life and mortality.
"Twice in the Christian era three of
tbe greater planets exterior to the earth
havo been in coincident perihelia, in the
sixth and sixteenth century. They were
famous eras of plague, pestilence, and
perturbation among men, and now for the
first time in the history of man all of the
plane! s,exterior as well as interior, superior
as well as inferior, arc approaching a coinei
dent period of ominous and I cannot but
believe uialific influence. It will culmi
uate at the very end of this century, and
may extend well over into the next. At
that time all of the planets will be
conjunction tugging together at tbe sun
while the earth upon the opposite side of
the sun, will be subjected to their united
action. I speak in general terms an
upon premises that have been broadly
published in standard journals. From
the physical standpoint alone this condi
tion of affairs caunol but result iu wide
spread disaster, expiussed 111 all the terms

system of modern society lives and moves

The world is is confusion and I can
not escape the firm conviction that it

on, and I also believe that man, who has
wasted his resources and belied his mis
sion, is responsible, both individually and
as nationally collected, for his institution,
and will be held responsible for their
Failure in the coming crisis.
The probable result of having all the
planets on the other side of the sun
tugging away is thus stated by Lieut.
Totten.
"I have never posed as a prophet, nor
do I believe that the end of the world, or
of the Nation, is at hand, but I do be
lieve that they are to be tried to a limit
1 nd straightened out, and then the literal
rule of the returned Messiah is to usher
in an era in which the poor, tbe true, the
good the honest, the simple minded will
inherit the earth, and a new order of ages
will be set up by Him in person, Who is
tho desire of all the ages.
Aside from the concert uf history and
chronology that testifies as lo the ap.
preaching end of the age, is the principle
of economy in the universe, which never
puts off until to-morrow what cun be
done to day. In other words, the entire
energy of the system wo inhabit conspires
with prophecy as harmonized to history
in offering such an opportunity at
consummation as will not be repeated by
the cycles for ages and ages, and it is
toward this present situation that, upun
whatsoever lines men have hypothecated
their judgements in tbe past, all have
agreed to unite. Hence I am with the
concensus of all the past agts in my
belief, and believe it will be borne out
and justified. In the international arena
agreeably to prophecy, I believe that the
confusions now formulating will wind up
at Jerusalem, and in winding up end the
times of the Gentiles, alter which that
city will cease to be trodden under their
feet and become the centre of an evcr
wideniog circumference of right rule aud
justice until the whole world is included."
ADVERTISEMENTS.
All the world likes to see a liar caught
the lie. No one regiets when the
parent who trios to palm off a twelve
year-old child, as only nine, in order to
escape paying full fare, is corrected by the Carries full line
child himself. In the following case,
hich a London paper relates, it was the
mother herself who betrayed the truth:
It was at the railroad station, and she
was trying to buy half fare tickets for her
two children.
