GOSSIP ABOUT PRETTY GIRLS,
How Tlicy EnOcnvor to Mnlco Them
selves Moro Attractive.
Every girl knows tho vnluo of beauty
Mid seeks to make licrsclf as attractive
us possible, nnd strives hard to preserve
these attractive qualities, but artificial
doviccs only can conceal tho ravages of
timo and dissipation. Still, without
truo regard to tho laws of health, oven
1 110 powder box, rouge pallet and pencil
provo a shallow resource. In aiming to
plcaso it is not always without a pur
pose beyond being considered charm
Ing in social circles. Most young la-
flics arc given to understand from head
quarters that husbands and homes aro
lo bo won, with but themselves to offer,
and no paternal purso for bait.
t lino in many it is proper, even n
fluty, to avail themselves of art, which
has been a salvation to thoso not abso
lutely deformed, others show Jack of
good senso in interfering with naturo
when she has showered extra favors.
Tho maid with a spiritucllo cast of feat
ures and complexion clogs tho pores of
her fair skin with paint, whilo tho vig
orous, plump, rosy beauty tortures her
digestivo apparatus with acids nnd
chalks; cacli persists in possessing at
tributes foreign to her constitution.
Oh, tho modus operandi is varied, in
teresting and edifying. A ruddy blondo
of Washington boulevard fastens her
Fat little hands to tho headboard on ro
tiring so ns to rcduco tho supply of
Mood and produco tho delicato com
plexion of an invalid friend. To allow
$ho mouth to bo open in slcop is simply
outrageous, so to assuro an nvoidanco
jnany a dainty miss woos Morpheus with
bcr lower jaw and head closely bound
yith a skato strap or garter. A narrow
pillow placed virticnlly under tho back
and between tho shoulders encourages
a porfect stature, so tho good old bol
ster is consigned to tho comfort of re
tired belles and beaux. Disregarding
tho fair, fresh skin, classical mold, and
very law of proportion, and in defor
bnco to nn arbitrary fashion, which can
not but provo fatal to beauty and
health, our wasp-waistcd belles claim
Jho nocessity of slumber corsets to ro
tain their nemo of shapeliness. A mask
of moist ryo Hour or coating of cold
?renm Is as regularly assumed as tho
ight robo, and tho feminine head
irooped pillow-ward minus curl papers
rr leads is exceptional. Hot foot baths
ro a regular feature of tho toilet, as
Jhoy tend to draw tho blood from hands
and faco.
Attentive mammas impress tho neces
sity of suppressing tho animal naturo
nd allow little of any moat. Tho skin
l like a piece of satin and has a grain,
nd tho daintiest featuro of tho toilet is
tho preparation of tho samo. Each
lido, beginning with tho mlddlo of tho
forehead, is treated separately with n
loft liandkorchief dipped in rolo glyc
srino and tlion powdered. Even ludv
"cstrous of social recognition knows tho
rnluo of an agreeable ensomblo largely
dependent on harmonious drapery, bo
roming coiffure and stylish carriage.
Damo Naturo may have made tho ordi
nary ondowmont of passably regular
foaturos, intelligent or oxpresslvo eyos,
complexion not impervious to oxpo
posuro, dissipation or indigestion.
Xheso qualities may pass muster, buc
Ihon tho nim to please is so much more
readily gratified by toning tho unctions
jondltiou of countenance witli n doll
Jato powder puff and shading witli tho
."larniloss burnt match tho outline of
syebrow and lash.
The nmonities of social intercourse
iloniand closo attention nnd practice
from those who would plcaso, and tho
detail at present engrossing oloso in
ipection is tho handling of tho oyes and
goblet.
Ono who knows, or ought to know,
ihus advises: Grasp the handlo
iU tho cup witli tho thumb and
Index linger,, tho latter thrust just
through against tho thumb and tho oth
r lingers open and hold out any way
from tho cup, savo tho socond, which
ihould press against tho side to steady
it. This gives a graceful appearance
i tho hand. In, holding a goblet it
ihould bo grasped by tho thumb nnd tiio
two first lingers around tho smallest
portion of the standard, between tho
bowl and tho bottom, throwing tho last
two lingers out well. Get through this

LAFAGAN'S LOGIC.
LOVE.
Lovo is cheap, and I enjoy it.
It is another nnmo for godliness. '
It is the only modern swindlo easily
forgiven.
It is tho incrcdicnt that creases the
saw of life.
It is n nice cross between religion and
happiness.
Like tho olive tree, it furtilizcs tho
surrounding soil.
Sclf-lovcis selfish. It. won't wash
and hold its color.
It lifts fifteen ounces off from every
pound of sorrow.
It is the first virtuo weanod, and be
gins to root early in life.
Like tho small-pox in bad cases, tho
only way to euro it is to die.
Some natures never succeed in loving
anything but now cider.
The lovo that comes from heaven is
that of a son for his mother.
It is just as natural for humanity to
lovo as it is for a frog to jump.
'Unspoken lovo" is a good deal liko
sea-sickness pretty sick, but can't
vomit.
It Is charity's best substitute, as lovo
is ciiarity, witli a pedigreo frqm heaven.
It is tho second law of nature, and
plays second liddlo only to the law of
self-preservation.
Lovo dates from tho beginning of
tho world, and is thcroforo tho grand
mother of creation.
Next to hot whisky, it has proba
bly dono more to make a fool of man
tlian any other ono tiling.
When puro lovo is tiio traces to winch
uisbnnd and wife aro hitched thoymako
n bully team.
lo many lovo is.liko measles. It nev
er cntciies either but once, nnu that
seems to satisfy them.
It lias novor been truthfully defined,
ko tho smell of limborger chceso it is
hard to describe
'Lovo thy neighbor as thyself" is n
divine injunction, but it isn't every fool
that can follow it.
I havo read somowhero that whisky
is man's only enemy tliat ho over suc
ceeds in loving to any extent, and I bo-
liovo it.
Somo people aro not constituted to
lovo any tiling, and I pity them as much
as l do a spoilt child. iThov. were mauo
in vain.
If constitutional, lovo would not bo
any more of a virturo than tho itch, but
that's just it it requires moro or less
solf-donial nnd somo charity to succeed.
Ilioro is tho common senso lovo; tho
kind that, when its lavished affections
aro not reciprocated, apparently.
throws up tho claim and make? lovo to
tho younger sister.
'Lovo at first sight" is generally
about as long-lived as a bottlo of gin
ger-pop with tho cork out: it is all
ight enough for poets, but when wo
get down to common lifo I adviso a sec
ond look.
Tliero is a species of lovo that never
comes out of its hole, and is of no moro
use in adversity tliann pump handle in
tho Sahara Desyrt. For relieving tho
pain of tho uufortunato it is about as
much account as a weak poultice.
Transient lovo, when tho object of ad
oration is away, is liko a bottlo of co
loguo water pull tho cork and in a few
days tho best part of it is gono. Such
natures lovo for tho timo being just us
pullet hens lay small eggs because
they can't help it.
Young lovo lives at least twenty-four
months eneli your; but as it is natural
for young people, if tho object is worthy
of love, loving it a good deal won't hurt
oithor of thorn, for in youth lovo is gen
erally ns harmless as sprueo gum, and
has no more care for tho future than u
last year's grasshopper. Audi novor
yot know young lovers to euro for tho
substnntinls of life, Bonbons aud
oranges aro genorally good enough for
them. Tho pork and beans of every
day lifo knocks all tho romance out of
tho affair. Chicago Ledger.

Senator Beck on Burns.
I happened to sit at tho table with
Senator Beck, of Kentucky, and it oc
curred to mo to ask him in what town
in Scotland ho was born. Beck has
boon in tho Senate eight years; ho came
in at tho same time with Voorhees of
Indiana, and there are only three or
four Democratic Senators of his senior
ity, such as Maxoy, of Texas, and
Saulsbury, of Delaware.
"I camo from old Dumfries," said
Mr. Beek.
"Why, that is tho town in which
Robert Burns died!"
"Yes," said Mr. Beck, "and I often
saw before I left there Jean Armour,
his wife. She did not die till 1834.
Burns himself died beforo tho closo of
tho last century. I went to school with
Burns' grand-children. Joan Armour
was a rather gypsy-looking woman,
with a black, sharp eye, dark skin, and
sho had lino arms, and when she was
an old wolnau would roll up her sleeves,
and you could see the muscle loft in her
arms."
"How quoor it is," said I "that you
should'bo beforo mo a United States
Senator near tho closo of tho nineteenth
century, and havo seen Robert Burns'
wife that Burns who would liko to
havo extolled both tho French nnd tho
American revolutions, and did make a
fecblo strain that way, till tho British
Government sat down on him as an
exciso man!"
"Ah," said Mr. Beck, "Burns got
ids power from his manly indignation.
Ho lulled to bo patronized, to bo con
sidered as something inferior, who
might bo encouraged and introduced to
somebody. Tho reason that lie takes
his rank in tho world is that ho first
drew tho character of tho natural man.
Walter Scott never made a poor man
manly. All his poor people nro willing
serfs or common folks, lie never drew
but ono character among tho poor
which had 11113' self-assertion aqd that
not much and that was Jennie Deans.
Shakspearo's poor people are all louts.
Tho literature of Great Britain had
novor measured a man for his natural
worth and equal claims till Burns set
him up from tho contents of his own
mind and spirit."
Said I, "What do you think of the
Scotch of whom you onco were ono?"
"Tho Scotch race," said Senator
Beck, "aro 11 kind of Western Jews.
Some ono said of them that thoy kept
tho Sabbath and everything else they
could get."
Mr. ltcck said of Bums that ho had
dono more to destroy tho old, fiorco
Calvinism of Scotland than anybody
else, and ho wondered if any other per
son had accomplished anything against
it. In tho first stanza of "Holy Willio's
Prayer" ho throw a bomb-shell Into the
whole Cnlvinistio dootrino.
Said I: "Mr. Beck, John Knox, how
ever, created tho Scotch character, did
ho not?"
"Yes; I suppose ho did. Burns was
a universal character, who spoko for
man and Ids rights, but Knox gavo the
Seottisli people their education. He
made thorn believe that every ono of
them man, woman and child was
tho special creation of God, governed
by God through tho mind and soul, and
that, therefore, thoy must get to work
and learn to read and to write, and the
race was very far advanced in the six
teenth century, when it gave tho ruling
dynnsty to England, and has produced
n long lino of poets, philosophers, re
viewers and inventors. The Scotch
raco U hard of itself," said Mr. Beck,
"but it's intluence in our day is duo to
Md John Knox making them indivldimls
ind not n moro herd." Correspondcnct

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Chicken Jelly fok Invalids. To'a
quart of cold water put half a raw
chicken cut up line; let it stand an
hour, then boil it slowly till it js reduc
cd to half tho quantity; season with salt
and pepper, if allowed by tho doctor.
Strain it through a colander first, then
through a cloth into a mold.
Minced Mutton. What to do with
the cold roast mutton is often a query
witli the housekeeper. Hero is one way
of preparing it. Brown somo flour in
butter, moisten with the gravy, season
with salt and pepper, nnd let it simmer
about ten minutes; then add moro but
ter, and a little marjoram, and the
minced meat, and let it heat without
boiling. Serve with turnips.
Noodles. Noodles fried instead of
boiled in soup, are very appetizing with
roasted meats. This is tho Chinese
mode of frying them. Take three
eggs, thicken with Hour, and roll very
thin, cut in fine strips with a sharp
knife. Drop all the tiny strips in a kct
tlo of salted, boiling water. Cook for a
few minutes, then take and drain. Put
several large "spoonfuls," c, a table-
spoonfuls of butter in a saucepan and
whilo heating cnimblo up dry bread,
then fry tho crumbs brown in tho heat
ed butter, and stir tho crumbs in the
dish of noodles, and servo at once.
BitAiN FiUTTEits. After washing and
ridding tho brains of fibres and skin,
drop them into boiling water and cook
gently for fifteen minutes, then throw
into ice-cold water. When they are
still" and white, wipe and niasli them in
to a batter witli a wooden spoon, sea
soning with salt and pepper. Beat into
this egg half a cup of milk and two or
threo tablespoonfuls of prepared Hour.
Fry a little in the boiling fat before ven
turing more, drop in by the tablespoon
ful, frying quickly, shako in a heated
colander, to free them of fat, and servo
hot. Thoy aro nice.
Steamed Chickens, Stuffed. Clean
and dress ns for roasting. Make a stuf
fing of crumbs seasoned witli pepper,
salt and butter, then mix with a dozen
oysters, each cut into three pieces.
Bind legs and wings to tho body witli
tape and put into steamer with closely
fitting lid. If you havo no steamer
(which is a pity), put the fowl into a tin
pail with a good top and set in a pot of
cold water. Heat gradually to a boil
and, if the fowl bo full grown, cook
steadily for two hours after tho boil be
gins. Open tho steamer at tho end of
the second hour for tho first timo and
try tho breast with a fork. If tender,
remove tho chicken to a hot water dish
and keep covered whilo you make the
gravy. Strain tho gravy from tho
steamer or pail into a saucepan; stir in
two tablespoonfuls of butter, four of
oyster liquor (also strained), a table
spoonful of Hour wet up in threo table
spoonfuls of cream and a tablespoonful
of chopped parsley. Bring to a boil,
stir in quickly a beaten egg, season to
tasto and pour some of it over tho fowl,
tho rest into a boat. This is so savory
a dish that it should bo better known.
Bechamel Sauce. This sauce,
which has long been so popular at the
best restaurants, is so easy to mnko
that its use may readily bo extended to
privnto families. In making it, if you
havo no rich, white stock, cut up some
lean veal, free from fat, into 3-inch
cubes and put them into a stew pan.
Add one moderato sized onion, 2J
inches in diameter, ono small carrot
cut into pieces, and G ounces of butter.
Fry tho vegetables in tho butter 10
minutes, without coloring, then fitir in
3 ounces of Hour, and continuo stirring
5 minutes longer. Add 3 pints of stock,
ono pint of cream, 5 ounces of sliced
mushrooms, a small boquct garni,
which is a preparation of dried herbs,
half tablespoonful of salt and a pinch
of whito pepper. Stir till it conies to a
boil, skim occasionally to remove tho
fat, and simmer for two hours. Strain
through a cloth or lino siovo into an
enamelled or porcelain stew pan with n
gill of cream. Simmer over the lire till
it coats tho spoon, strain again through
a cloth or fine siovo into a basin, and
set till tho sauco is cold. This sauco
-cquires tho cook's utmost attention.
Photographing the Eyes ot the
Dead.
A Paris physician calls attention to
an account of n recent attempt to ob
sorvo in tho retina of a murdered girl's
oyo tho imago of hor unknown slayer.
Ho said: "It's all nonsense to expect
that this thing can bo done. 1 havo
known of a dozen experiments, all of
whicli failed from tho very naturo of

Tho brilliant coat of tho rqtina has a

and placed a negative of my own pho
tograph over ids eye. It was then kept
in .1 dark room for six hours. This was
followed bv exposing tho retina to tho
