BEAUTY NOW MADE 70 ORDER COUNSEL KNEW HIS BUSINESS.
Privileged Chinese Statesmen.
Hsu Shih-chang and Tleh Liang,
members of the grand council, are
granted the privilege of riding on
horseback within the Hsl Yuan Men
and Tieh Ling is granted the special
privilege of riding on horseback with-
in the Forbidden city.—Chinese im-
perial edict in Pekin Times.
Many Contrivances to Aid Unfortunate
Homely Ones.
The best artificial noses nowadays
pre made of papier mache, enameled.
Such a nose is fastened to a spectacle
frame sometimes for the sake of con-
venience, and thus may be put on or
removed at brief notice.
TiNro is a patented contrivance,
Fonwwhat resembling a clothespin, for
attachment to the nose to give to the
crgan a proper taper. Another device
Is supposed to Improve the lines of the
mouth.
Not a few people have no roofs to
their mouths, having been born with-
out any, or in other cases having lost
them by disease. For such unfortu-
nates artificial mouth roofs, made of
galvanized rubber, are furnished.
There Is a patented device for clean-
ing the tongue, consisting of a knife
with a concave edge to which a sort
cf sponge brush Is attached. When
one Is not wqII one's tongue is liable
to be disagreeably coated, but the an-
noyance may be removed by means of
the Instrument described.
If you desire dimples you may wear
a certain kind of wire mask at night
to which are attached blunt wooden
rolnts that may be caused, by the help
cf screws, to press upon the points
where the dimples are wanted. Thus
after a while the dimples are made to
appear.—New York Herald.
Magic Mirrors.
Magic mirrors are the latest fash-
ionable curios, though they are by no.
means a novelty, having been known
for many years. The mirror is a
slightly concave disk of bronze, highly
polished and silvered. The mirror
shows no peculiarity until held so that
the sunlight is reflected from it upon
the wall or other dark object, when
the design stamped upon the back
appears upon the wall in bright lines.
The design is not apparently upon
the Furface of the mirror, but tho
stamping slightly flattens the surfa.ee
of the reflector, and when held in the
strong sunlight these flat lines direc-
tly reflect their light upon the wall,
while that reflected from the concave
Dortloi:s is dispersed.
A'-angi ments are now being made
have portraits and coats of arms
ripped 10 older, and this, it Is ex-
pected. will still further increase the
demand.
Too Old for Young Companions.
Seward Dill, late of Phillips, Me.,
nearly ninety-four years of age, went
to Minnesota alone. Some of his old
friends remonstrated with him at
the great risk of traveling alone so
long a distance. He replied: "I am
too old to be bothered with any young
man In long journey.
What It Leads To.
The other day at bridge two ladles
quarreled long and arduously over
the payment of tho gigantic sum of
*4. At last the loser flung the money
down on the table, saying, with con-
centrated venom, "There, that will
pay for your next dinner party!"—
Vanity Fair.
Didn't Need Cash
An American judge, who used to
wear very long, wavy hair, and a very
heavy bearTi, one day was on his way
to court when he was accosted by a
little street bootblack, with an ex-
ceedingly dirty face, with his custom-
ary "Shine, sir?"
He was quite importunate, and the
judge, being impressed with the ter-
rible state or the boy's face, said: "1
don't want a shine, but If you will go
and wash your face I'll give you a
dime."
"All right, sir."
"Well, let me see you do It."
The boy went over to the hydrant
and made his abulitlon.
Returning, he held out his hand for
the dime.
The judge said, "Well, you've earn-
ed your money; here It is."
The boy said, "1 don't want your
money, old fellow! You take It and
have your hair cut;" and forthwith
scampered off.

Simple Appeal to Jury All He Needed
To Make.
A story is told of the late Baron
Bramwell, when sitting on the Crown
side on the South Wales circuit.
Counsel for the defense asked leave
to address the jury in Welsh: the
case was a simple one, and permission
was given without demur. He said
but very'few words. The Baron also
did not think much comment was req-
uisite, but was somewhat startled
by a prompt verdict of acquittal.
"What was it," he afterward inquir-
ed, "that M. L. said to that jury?"
"Oh, he just said:—'This case, gen-
tlemen, lies in a nutshell. You see
yourselves exactly how it stands. The
judge is an Englishman, the prosecut-
ing counsel is an Englishman, the com-
plainant is an Englishman. But you
are Welsh, and I am Welsh, and the
prisoner in Welsh. Need I say more?
I leave it all to you.' "
Baron Bramwell, it was said, formed
a higher opinion than he had previous
ly entertained of M. L's acumon and
resource; but he did not allow the
experiment to be repeated of address-
es to the jury in a vernacular which
he did not understand.—Weekly Scots-
man.
Perils of Chamois Hunting.
A chamois hunter named Schultz, of
Croire, in the Canton of Orison, slip-
ped and fell in to a ravine nearly a
thousand feet in depth. He was rop-
ed to his son, a lad of fifteen, who,
with the aid of his ax, held his foot-
ing for nearly two hours until help
arrived.
Like Ancient Eastern Kings.
M. Pierre Lorraine was a French
millionaire who lay in bed all night
nnd day and, like the eastern mon-
iirchs in the "Arabian Nights," lis-
tened to the trained story tellers with
whom he surrounded himself during
Ihe whole of his waking hours.
Pig's Long Journey Home.
A farmer living down toward Har-
ward's had a most knowing pig which
he sold to a Long Islander, who took
his prize in a boat to his home at the
island. Safely shut up in the spacious
pig pen was this new inmate of the
family ,and the farmer man went
peacefully to rest much content with
his new purchase.
In the morning, the pen was empty
and no little pig could be found on
the island. Some time afterward he
went again to town and there saw the
first owner of the lost one. "I've lost
my pig," he gloomily announced. "I
know it," chuckled his friend. "He's
down to my house, came back ti o
next morning."
What had that homesick little pig
done, but swam across two livers, the
Little Island river and the Kennebec,
walked across Big Little Island, trot-
tod happily down the two miles of
road on the Richmond shore, and
finally presented himself to his old
t master, footsore and hungry, but
i mighty glad to be home once more.
Traveling in Thibet.
Having penetrated a hundred
miles Into Thibet, an Australian pros-
pector has had to return, owing to the
refusal of the natives to supply him
with food. He reports that there Is
much copper In tho land, but very
little gold.
"For two years my neck was cov-
ered with sores, the humor spreading
to my hair, which fell out, leaving an
unsightly bald spot, and the soreness,
Inflammation and merciless itching
made me wild. Friends advised Cutl-
cura Soap and Ointment, and after a
few applications the torment subsided,
to my great joy. The sores soon dis-
appeared, and my hair grew again,
as thick and healthy as ever. I shall
always recommerd Cutlcura. (Signed)

York City."
Submarine Boat Experiment.
The greatest depth to which a sub-
marine boat Is known to have de-
scended, under full control and with-
out injury, is 138 feet. That record
was made In experiments In Europe,
by a vessel designed by the Ameri-
can luvcntor, Simon Lake.

First Use of "Teetotal."
The term originated with Richard
Turner, an artisan of Preston, who,
contending for the principle at a tem-
perance meeting in 1833, asserted
that "nothing but te-te-total will do.
The word was immediately adopted.
Light From Minerals.
Some minerals, such as diamonds,
give out light when rubbed together.
Sir William Crookes says that he has
prepared an artificial sulphide of zinc
which Is more luminescent under fric-
tion than any natural mineral.
Sing Sing.
The name of Sing Sing, a town In
the state of New York. Is of Indian
origin and means "stone upon sifcne."
Another statement is that the name
is a corruption of the Indian word
• ossinlng," a stony place.

House for Servants.
Belgian women take a pride in do-
ing their own work. If asked why
they engage no help, they are very
apt to reply that servants are kept
only by lazy, Incompetent, extrava-
gant, cr sflck persons.
Insist on Getting It.
Some grocers say they don't keep
Defiance Starch. This is because they
have a stock on hand of other brands
containing only 12 oz in a package,
which they won't be able to sell first,
because Defiance contains 16 oz. for
the same money.
Do you want 16 oz. instead of 12 oz.
for same money? Then buy Defiance
Starch. Requires no cooking.
