At the inquest upoq a lady recent-
ly lulled by the explosion of a hair
wash with which she was having
per hair dressed an official stated a
curious fact in his evidence. He said
that o lady who had been used to
having her hair prepared with tho
wash proved to be so dangerous had
since the explosion refused to desist
from the practice but had required
her hairdresser to keep damp blan-
kets at band while the operation
was in progress so that if an explo-
sion did occur the tire might be
readily put out.
The incident shows what Eome
women will dare for beauty. The
lady in question however is by no
means so exceptional an individual
as many folk will be tempted to im-
agine. Thousands of women are con-
tent to risk their lives or health or
are willing to undergo exquisite tor-
tures all for the sake of some tempt-
ing proffer of beauty often delu-
sion to be gained. -
Most doctors number among their
patients women who are suffering
from the effects of arsenio eating.
The arsenic is taken for the purpose
of attaining various results with re-
gard to personal appearance. The
gravest warning of the terrible
physical effects which must in time
ensue are altogether disregarded by
these ladies. Physicians declare that
patients when cured will constantly
recrir to this drug "not so mm'
from a craving for the drug" the
physicians assured the writer "as
from a haunting fear of a diminu-
tion of charm if the drug isdiscard-
ed." The use of belladonna for the eyes
is as every one knows most calcu-
lated to have disastrous effects upon
the sight Thousands and thousands
of women however avail .them-
selves of it and very many are also
found who are anxious to undergo a
painful and dangerous operation
upon the eye itsolf the object of
which is to impart a gracoful curve
to tho eyelid. The danger of ibv
operation consists in the possibility '
of injury being done to the nerves
controlling the action of the lids
causing partial paralysis.
One notorious impostor who got
into the hands of the police some
yoars back was proved to have had
as one of her patients' a lady from
whose face she had actually removed
patches of skin filling the vacant
places -with a species of enamel.
The process was too exquisitely pain- i
ful for more than a very small por-
tion of the countenance to bo treat- j
ed at a timo. The lady submitted to
the treatment for months and paid
a email fortune to tho quack who '
demanded steadily increasing pay- j
ments by holding out the threat of :
leaving the "job incomplete and the
lady only "half done' in more senses ;
than one.
' The enameled countenance
enameled without the flaying proc-
ess as in the above instance is most '
ordinarily a wash of torture. Once j
enameled you must be so always or j
hideous for the rest of your life for j
the process has a disastrous effect
upon the natural complexion. The
rigor of the enameled face ia a con-
stant source of anguish and of mus-
cular weakness and decay. '
The most popular form of torture
connected with large feet is un-
doubtedly their contraction into
email boots. This is not however
enough for some ladies who desire
to alter the foot itself and to seek
the aid of the quack benutifier who
will undertake the job by means of
an injurious instrument which by
screws and levers brings to bear a
pressure upon the bones to squeeze
them into elegant shape. This in-
strument is popular in Paris where
one of its operators got into trouble
some months ago in consequence of
his having permanently lamed a
lady who hud placed herself in his
bands. Boston Traveler.

Mme. K. a once noted Russian
beauty was lavish of her smiles.
One evening at ' some reception
Mrs. Crawford London Truth's
Paris correspondent was gazing at
her whon the late Dr. Evans came
up. ''What do you think of her
teeth!" "It was I who provided
them" said the doctor. "No I'm
not joking.'! "But surely they are
too transparent to be of composi-
tion t" "They are not of artificial
stuff. I chose teeth from the mouths
of 13 -Brittany girls to make the
sef" ' "Why from 12" "Ewfiuse

ed her teeth to be reminder of the

a bit of the true cross in the gold

KntlUh Ummii and Good Cheer. -
The English queens have nearly
always' been fond ' of good ' cheer.
Queon Anne was no exception. She

nary discus-iors with her cook and

. PIGEONS AS MESSENGERS.
Advantage of Their Cm For the Rapid
Conoencatton of Naval Force..
The twenty-third volume of pro-
ceedings of the United States Naval
institute has among its contents sev-
eral ably written papers on subjects
interesting to the navy. Lieutenant
E W. Eberle contributes a paper on
"Homing Pigeons as Messengers of
the Fleet" in which he refers to the
advantages and practical workings
of a messenger pigeon service and
points out conditions under which it
may be used with advantage to the
fleet. In his paper Lieutenant Eberle
says:
"From its geographical surround-
ings Key West will become our most
important pigeon station on the At-
lantic and Port Townsbend which
controls the strait of Fuca and en-
trance to Puget sound will be the
most important on the Pacific. Port
Townshend station can control
the entire entrance to tho west-
ern possessions of Great Britain
and this would prove of great val'.ie
in tho event of hostilities with that
country.
"The rapid concentration of naval
forces at the point of attack or the
movement of forces to intercept the
enemy is only made possible when
we have a system by which we can
communicate rapidly with the shore
station from long distances at sea
and the messenger pigeon service is
the only system by which we can
obtain such communication. This
service might bo called very appro-
priately a 'sea telegraph' system
and although its messages cannot be
dispatched with the speed and abso-
lute certainty of the telegraph yet
the system has the advantage of
forwarding its messages from any
position within definite limits and
therefore it is not necessary to seek
the telegraph station in order to
send a message.
"In the event of hostilities many
more messages than those given in
the above illustrations would be
sent in order to insure the receipt of
important information and if only
one of the many little messengers
should arrive in time to enable our
fleet to maneuver so as to engage
the enemy before he could inflict
appalling destruction of life and
property upon some one of our sea-
ports then this service would prove
itself most valuable to the govern-
ment and well worth the small an-
nual sum required to maintain its
efficiency.
"It requires but one practical il-
lustration to strike home and. to
open our eyes to the merits of this
service. Let a single human life be
saved from shipwreck in. a time of
peace or let one maneuver of the en-
emy's fleet be frustrated in the
midst of war by the timely arrival
of one of these swift winged trusty
little carriers with its urgenf mes-
sage and all the country will ap-
plaud the result and will realize the
value of a messenger pigecn service
upon the seas." Baltimore Sun. .
