FRECKLES—SUNBURN.
Should Wear Veils and Gloves.
"What is sunburn, doctor?” was a
question which a Mercury representa-
tive asked an eminent specialist re-
cently.
“Sunburn,” said the polite doctor,
“is only a universal freckle, and if you
know what freckles are you know what
sunburn is as well as I do myself.
Lentigo (our name for freckles) is an
skin, appearing as small, round, or ir-
regularly-shaped pin’s-head or pea
sized, yellowish, brownish, or blackish
spots. They are seldom seen before
the third year, and with advancing
years they may disappear permanently.
“Persons with fair skins, and. par-
ticularly those with red hair, are espe-
cially liable to their development;
nevertheless they appear in brunettes
and mulattos. A‘ freckle is shown by
microscopical examination ' to consist
essentially of a circumscribed collec-
tion of normal pigment cells in the rete
mucosum. Chloasma (liver spot) dif-
of the patches.
“But I cannot describe sunburn as
a universal freckle without calling at-
tention to one important distinction.
Freckles are sometimes due to a morbid
condition of the system. I have had
patients not ordinarily subject to
freckles who developed them when
their digestive organs were seriously
out of order. ,
~ “0n the other hand, those who are in
perfect health bronze much more readi-
ly than those whose constitutions are
unsound or who are sickly. I may add
that one bronzes more quickly from
exposure to the sun during the morn-
ing hours than in the afternoon, while
exercising than when at rest, and when
the atmosphere is surcharged with
moisture than when it is dry.
“But sunburn is much more than
this,” continued the pleasant physician.
“To say that it is only skin-deep would
be altogether superficial. You must
not fonget its deep social significance.
A coat of tan marks and distinguishes
a man who has had his holidays. Are
you a man of means? Are you a man
of good taste? To prove that you are
both you must Show a brown face in the
autumn.”
“And how about the ladies, doctor?”
“My dear sir, veils and gloves at the
seaside for ladies who have plump and
round necks. It is simply a question
of full dress next winter. And yet I
may say that I knew a veryoriginal
young lady who scored a positive tri-
umph at a fancy-dress ball by appear-
ing with her bare arms delicately
bronzed on the upper side. It seemed to
make her skin look all the fairer; and
doubtless a suggestion of healthy out-
door life is the crowning charm of
beauty.”—N. Y. Mercury.
HOLLAND’S PERMANENT WAR.
No General ls Allowed to Win a Final
_ Victory.
A correspondent says that a number
of men were talking about England’s
little wars at the club, and, most perti-
nently, a man, a Boston man, who has
only been ashore four or five days after
a voyage of something like 115 days
from Java in. a sailing ship, chipped in:
“I’ve got a yarn to spin in that connec-
tion.” You will not-ice the nautical way
he spoke, after his experience at sea.
“As all the world knows, the Dutch
have for years and years been trying to
conquer the island of Sumatra. Su-
matra is the largest island in the world,
bar.Australia”—that’s .what he said; 1 ,
am, geographically speaking, too weak '
to state it as a fact—“and as the Dutch-
men have made Java 3 great source of
revenue, they have_been trying to con-‘
quer Sumatra as well. ‘
“I got to know our' consul at Batavia,
the principal Javanese port, and,
through him, a lot of Dutch officials,
and I thought I’d like to take a shy at
going to Acheen, the one place in
Sumatra where the Dutch have a safe
foothold, and see how so long-drawn-
out a war was conducted, for the Dutch
have every modern appliance for romp-
ing over such savages as the natives of
Sumatra, and only the interior climate
is against their easy success.
“I got a tip from the inside that I had
better not waste any time, as under no
circumstances would the Dutchmen-at
Acheen let me go to the front, where
military operations were going on. That
point, as I understand it, is some 300
miles inland. ' '
“ ‘And why?’ I asked. -
“ ‘For the very good reason,’ said the.
man who gave me the tip, ‘that this war
‘ a medical authority declares that there
I 'alsoft thing for the ring. -There are- , O
government officials in" Amsterdam and
here who each make from 50,000 to 200,-
000 florins ayear out of the war in the
way of supplying military stores, and
the transportation of troops, or by
means of any various little games that
big politicians out for the dust have a
way of playing. :Not very longago, in
a moment of enthusiasm on some one’s
part, a Dutch general was appointed to
the command of Sumatra because he
boasted that he could put an end to the
war in a. few months. He started in at
full speed, and was keeping his promise
so well that a vigorous (but very quiet)
row waskicked up in the innermost
circles, and he was recalled. There-'
fore, I didn't bother to go and investi-
gate the Dutch camp'aignin Java.”—
Boston Post.
Wmful Waste.
' The story writer had been out very
late, and when he arrived home ex-
plained his tardiness at length and with
great minuteness. His wife listened
without comment until the ' end.
“Well,” he said, after a gloomy pause.
“doesn’t that explanation satisfy you ?”
“Perfectly,” she replied. “It was love-
ly. Only, John, dear, I think it very ex-
travagant of you to squander so much
originality outside of your business.”

trace of the application of the fire cure
in the shape of hideous scars on the
head, back, stomach, feet or limbs.
