SIMPLE BLEACHES THAT WILL
WHITEN DISCOLORED SKIN
___i
Lotions That .NfitVsI’c Applied at.
Home l»v Amate\i\rs to Beau
tify Oomplnrxions.
Thoroughly x as V disapprove of
strong .skin bbabtres, I llnd it neces
sary at times to give the formulas for
some, because undoubtedly there are
eases where their use Is justified. This
J consider so rare that l think no
woman should employ one without
first consult lug a physician, for a
strong: acid may make the skin worse
than it was at hrst. and if there is
any eruption, may cause a poison. No
« osmetic* containing mercury, for ex
ample. should ever bo used when there
is the slightest skin eruption.
Arsenic is a bleach, but it should
be used rarely and with great dis
crimination. Under no c ircumstances
should it be taken internally, save on
a physician s prescription, for it is a
deadly poison.
A bleach I can recommend is made
from four grains of finely powdered
, arsenious acid, one ounce of pure rose
water and ounce of glycerine, and
three gills of distilled water, it should
be mixed by a chemist, no amateur
having the proper vessels and stirring
rod.
To use a fe w drops poured into a
saucer should be put on with a bit of
old muslin. It may be applied twice
a day and allowed to dry on. it is
powerful and should be employed for
only a short period of time. It is
poison if taken internally.
A milder bleach which for constant
use is more tutted to sunburn and to
allay exposure t«« the wind is made |
from lettuce, the head of leaves being
washed, put into a porcelain or agate :
saucepan, crushed to extract a little
moisture, and placed where it will
heat slowly, to simmer gently until
pulpy. It is then strained through
cloth. It may be used by diluting
with equal quantities of tincture of
bcnzion, put in when the lettuce Juce
is cold, adding four times the amount
. »f water. It may be wiped over the
face and throat freely.
It acts as a bleach and an astrin- j
gent.
Stronger, and yet not equal to ar- j
scnical compositions, is a lotion made
fron) two drams of iodide of potas
sium, one ounce of glycerine and one
pint of rain or distilled water. It
must be throughly mixed, and may j
be wiped • ver the skin twice daily. 1
It is especially suited to blondes.
Lomon juice is really an active
bleach, when constantly used, but be- j
cause it does not whiten the skin in ;
a night, women are apt to think it
worthless. Nevertheless, if a fresh
slice be rubbed over the face morn
ing. noon and night, after washing,
allowing the Juice to remain, the
treatment will b* beneficial, anil it is
simple. i

Famous Sayings of f1 amous People
“Mason and Dixon's Line."—John
Randolph.
"John Randolph, of Roanoke"— :
| Roanoke whs the name of his Virginia
plantation in Charlotte county—was
la Virginia Senator and Representa
tive in Congress at alternate periods
from 1800 to 1833
Mr. Randolph WM noted for many !
peculiar characterising Hut his:
scholarship, native wit and readiness
of repartee made him an antagonist
who was both feared and respected In
the National Legislature.
The Opening months of 1824 saw a
sectional array of Northern and
I Southern interests upon industrial
UUestlons. The Suite north of Wash
i Ington were urging a protective s>s-i
tern for the products of the manufac
I lories. The South, with its slave la- j
i bor and Its raw material product of j
: cotton, was Insistent for free trade.
The Virginia Representative, us was |
his custom upon topics of national irn- i
.port, was early and constant in the j
I debates.
In a speech on April 15, 1821. ap
pears the tlrsl recorded use of the
words of the headline. Undoubtedly j
Mr. Randolph hud previously uttered |
the sentence. Rut. owing to the Im- j
perfect reports of the records of Con- j
gress of that day, the instance is not i
easily accessible. To Randolph, how- '
ever, by the unanimous consent of the
collaborators, the credit of originality
for this famous Americanism Is given, j
"Mason and Dixon’s line’’ is a refer- ;
enve to the boundary which was es- :
itabllshed, In the years Intervening
from 17t>3 to 171.7, between the Colo- \
riles of Maryland and Virginia, on
the one side, ai >1 that of Pennsyl- !
vania, on the oilier side, by Charles 1
Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, who were
two English civil engineers. So thor
oughly was the allotted task perform
ed b> these young Englishmen that
an 1 s4!* revision if the survey failed
to detect the slightest error. The 1
United States Government, also, as
recently us 1901, has caused the Mary
land portion of the noted boundary
line to be again revised.
Hut Randolph, by his use of the
phrase, gave It a political significance,
and which meant the line of demarca
tion between the territory of the free
North and that of the slave South.
In this April If. speech, Mr. Ran
dolph said:
"This (tariff) bill Is an attempt to
reduce the country side of Mason and
Dixon's line ami east of the Alle
gheny Mountains to a State of worse
than colonial bondage, a State In
which the domination of Great Bri
tain, in my Judgment, was far prefer
able.

Though a bother. It is worth while
t > protect the neck from the ravages
oi the sun. There are times, of course,
when r girl must wear a lingerie waist
In the sunshine and take the conse
quences, but the results are sufficient

For though she may like the waist,
she will not care for the pattern

For yachting, tennis, golfing and.
Indeed, at all times when a woman
is exposed to strong sun or wind, she
should wear reasonably thick, plain
tailor wash blouses. They arc better
form, thin blouses not being suited to
athletics, and are a slight preventive
of burn. But before she goes forth
to wield bat or oar she should put
on a protective coating of cream.
There is one made from honey
which will help to make her skin sott
and clear, ami if she is troubled wl h
hollows will aid in filling them. It
la made from four ounces of strained
honey, one ounce each of glycerine
and rectified spirits, throe drams of
citric acid and six drops of essence cf
roses.
The honey and glycerine are put
into a china basin set Into hot w-i.jr
and stirred until they are thin, when
they are removed. The ucld should
have been dissolved In the spirits,
and while the first two are soft the
liquid is beaten in, the essence going
in last.
This is spread on and rubbed Into
the shoulders, chest and arms, put

over It powder magnesia, in itsalf a

WASHINGTON BYWAYS
(Special to The Richmond Virginian.)
WASHINGTON, D. C„ June 30.— j
The great political trapeze act of the ;
Brothers Foaa. George and Gene, ia ■
going to be put on again. Positively j
no disappointments on account of wea
ther, no postponements for want of
an audience. Greatest two ring, high ;
air presentation ever made before the
American public.
Brother George, that Is. the repre- ;
sentative from Illinois—Is going to
run for Senator from Illinois. Brother
Gene—representative from Massaehu- j
setts—Is going to run for Senator from
that State.
Brother George will uphold mightily
the banner of Republicanism in the
Sucker State, and Brother Gene will
fight under the oriflamme of Democ
racy In the ('odfllsh State. II all the
codfish In Massachusetts who sympa
thise with their purpose.
Here's a little story which beauti
fully Illustrates what a marvelous mla
up has overtaken the course of politi
cal affairs In this country In the last
year.
Hoth of the Senators from Minne
sota voted against the Payne-Aldrlch
tariff bill when It passed. Some of
the representatives from Minnesota
voM-d against the bill and some voted
for It. During the campaign this fall,
therefore, some of the Republican
statesmen from Minnesota will be on
the stump demonstrating that the tar
iff law Is the worst ever, while others
will be proclaiming from the rostrum
that It has all former efforts at tariff
making backed Into an acute corner
and screaming for first aid to the In
Illinois ‘ tickers and all the Massachu
setts codfish Ret ripe, this great fra
ternal political trapeae performance
is going to be the most marvelous pts
< atorial display of recent times. In
fact, the Foss boys rather have it on
their minds that when the> get things
warmed up they will have more hooks
out for suc kers and codfish than were
ever before strung out from Quincy,
Mass., to Quincy. 111.
Just as a modest starter Brother
Gene is mailing 400.000 copies of his
recent tariff speech to the voters of
Massachusetts. Brother Gene has a
list of names* that Inc ludes most of the
voters of Massachusetts, and he Is
Jured.
That sort of thing is always calcu
lated to muss up the political situation
in a community: and things In Min
nesota surely are mussed up at this
writing. The other day a good Re
puhll. an wrote to one of the Sena
tors and said;
' I w ish you would send me about a
hundred copies of your tariff speech.
In which you showed that the duties
were raised instead of lowered. I
think I could use them effectively to
heat out representative in this dis
trict."
The representative in question being
a Republican who had voted for the
right on their trail with some violent!
i views about the cost of living arul its
relation to the tariff.
There is some different e of opinion
whether Brother Gene is going to run
for Governor or for Senator. The na
tional politicians all insist that he is
going to run for Senator; the Massa
chusetts folks persist that his ambi
tions He In the direction of the gov
ernorship. Anyhow, Gene Is going
to run, and he is going to run mighty
hard.
Now, as to Brother George. George
ran for the Senate in Illinois two
years ago. and although he confined
his running to the home stretch of
' the campaign, he came down to the
wire so fast and in mteh form that
many said If he had started with the
; hunch he would hate been a sure
winner Anyhow, George has decid
ed. according to th" stories, that he
will he a real, start-to-finish candidate
for the very next senatorial vacancy
in Illinois The two Fosses are just
determined to get on in politics, and
there seems to to a lot of suckers
In Illinois and a tremendous shoal of
tariff bill, and the Senator likewise
being a Republican, although he had
voted against the tariff bill, there
seemed some little difficulty determin
ing what course would be dictated In
the circumstances by a due considera
tion of the political ethics. So tha
Senator w ent ot er to See the repre
sentative and ask him what ought to
be done. He found the member and
showed him the letter.
"< »h. that's all right," replied th*
representative. "I have Just received
three letters from Itemoerat* asking
me to send them copies of vour tariff
speech and saying that If they can
get enough of them they can beat
you sure."
And that's the way It is all over th*
insurrectionary territory. The Demo
crats are going to beat Republicans
for voting for the tariff hill, and right
over In the adjoining district the Re
publicans are getting ready to beat
Kepubll. ana for voting against tha
tariff bill. AH prognostications Indi
cate that the crop of put-e politics Is
going to be bigger this year than ever
before.
