Only yesterday it was announced that the Russians would remain at Vigo | |Pollee Comminsioner Is Confined) | bis home suffering from a cold. at least eight days longer, and that such officers as might be needed as wit- nesses In the inquiry would be detached. It Is possible that the Russians simply mean to go to Tangier in order to keep the fleet together, but what mystifies everybody is that they should have done this without a word of warnlug to England One thing seems certain—the Russians may proceed to Tangler without interruption, but they will never be allowed at this stage of the negotiations to pass Gibraltar and enter the Mediterranean. Any attempt dn their part to do this now would surely, it Is believed, precipitate a sea action, and the Russians would also have the shore batteries at Gibraltar to cope with The latest despatches from Gibraltar are that the quick-firing battertes have been manned aud that the forces at the searchlight stations have been increased CZAR'S ENVOY HAS AUDIENCE WITH KING. Count Benkeudorff, the Russian Ambassador, was received in audience by King Edward at Buckingham Valace this afternoon, It Is assumed he was the bearer of @ message fron Pmperor Nicholas.

Another Cabinet meeting has been summoned for Wednesday lo consider the matter, A statement issued by the Press Association late to-day expresses the belief that the action of the Russian Admiral has again brought the Anglo- Russian crisis dangerously close to an acute stage.

BEAUTY OF SKIN PURITY OF BLOOD Ancient and Modern Ideas on These Interesting Subjects, UP-TO-DATE METHODS For Purifying and Beautifying the Skin, Scalp, Hair and Hands, Socrates calied beauty a short-lived tyranny, 0 a privilege of nature, Yheceritus a delightful prejudice, | Theophrastua @ ailent cheat, Car- neades a solitary kingdom, Homer a} glorious gift of nature, Ovid a favor of the gods. Aristotle affirmed that beauty was better than all the letter of recommendation in the world, and yet none of these distinguished au- thorities haa left us even @ hint of how beauty fs to be perpetuated, or the ravages of age and disease defied. Time soon Lends the lily and the rose into the pallor of age, disease dots the fair face with cutaneous dis- figurations nnd crimsons the Roman nose with unsfghtly flushes; moth, if not rust, corrupts the glory of the eyes, teeth and lips, yet beautiful by defacing the complexion, and fills the sens! soul with agony. If such be the unhappy condition of one affiieted with slight skin blem- ishes, what must be the feelings of those in whom torturing humors have for years run riot, covering the skin with scales and sores and charging the blood with poisonous elements to become a part of the system until death? It is in the treatment of torturing, disfiguring humors and affections of the skin, gcalp and blood, with loss ot hair, that the Cuticura remedies have achieved their greatest success, Orig- inal in composition, sctentifically compounded, absolutely pure, un- changeable In eny climate, always ready, and agreeable to the most del- leate and sensitive, they present to young and old the most successful curatives of modern times.
