Eyelashes Made to Order. In a fashionable hair-dressing parlor on one of the down-town streets, one reads the sign: "Eyelashes made to order." "I do not know that there is any thing particularly novel about it," said the blonde young woman who was asked for information. "We have done this sort of work for months." "And have vou manv patrons in that line?" "Not so many as we have in the other branch of our business, the removal of hair or wrinkles by means of electricity, but still we have some. " And then she explained the process of making artificial eyelashes. An ex ceedingly delicate little instrument is used. It consists of a needle operated through a spring by means of the fin ger.- At one end of the needle is a hair inserted. When the operator is ready to work on the person, she takes the eyelid between two fingers of the left hand. The needle ia then thrust into the fleshy part of the eyelid, as close to the eye as possible, and the tiny hairs are actually sewed on. Borne Down With Inflrmltles.

The annual report of the interstate commerce commission covers the oper ations of 172,369 miles of track-nearly the whole mileage of the United States, owned by 652 companies. The gross earnings of these companies for the year endin g with June 30, 1896, were 81,123,6-16,502-a sum almost incon ceivable in its immensity. Of this im mense sum $323,468,861 was derived from the passenger service, and $772, 071,374 from the freight service. Against this immense income must be counted the operating expenses of $754,971,515, exclusive of the interest on the debts owed by the 652 com panies. Almost no margin of profit is left. A few roads pay their stock holders handsomely, and most of them pay nothing at all on the capital in vested in'them. The showing is practically the sam?? as that of last year. There is a slight increase in the business done, but not a larger increase than is announced for by the increasejof capital invested. ASKEW QUESTIONS. IT IS A WOMAN'S PREROGATIVE, AND SHE USES IT.

I'vo been in love with her for five'years, aud it's a wonder my hair isn't white ; sometimes I think it is turning gray, but wbon I 6poko to Dolly about it, she said not to bother, I was old enough to bo gray anyway. Ah! that's where Dolly hurts, and she knows it, for 1 am fifteen years older thau tho is, and when that willful yonng woman wished to be particular ly cruel, she treats me with respect. I know that among my friends I am considered to have fairly good sense; ? I can talk rationally on most subjects, and I stand well enough in my pro fession, at least enabling mo to keep my head above water. Bnt when I'm with Dolly, or in her presence, I'm an ass, a driveling, foolish ass. A lanatic from on asylum would be a brilliant conversationalst compared to mc. And alas! Dolly knows that too, and she torments me and makes life an unut terable burden to me. I etart to make a seusiblo remark, when suddenly I meet Dolly's eye6 ; then I stumble and say the wrong thing, and she will re mark, "Do you really think tbat?" with such a wicked look in her beanti- j fut blue eyes, while I don't think it at all but have just said it. And so it goes until I wonder sometimes if lam quite right. When we go to dances 1 say we, I'm always there if I know she is going-things are a little worse than usual, for Dolly dances past me with beasts and cads of men, and I stand about the wall watching her. She never will give but two dances to me, so I have nothing to do in the meantime but watch her. One night I was desperate. I had sent her violets as usuai-she as is par ticularly fond of thom, and most of my money goes that way. Sometimes she wears them, aud oiten carries thom, but this uight they were no where to be seen, and in her hand was ono large reit rose. I went up to her ; appearing tobe ?orry to tee me was the particular form of torture which commended it-elf to her on this es pecial night. "Yon here 1" she said, lifting her eyebrows iu astonishment and without a smile; all put on, of conree, because I am always where .-he is. "Oh, no, I'm not here, I'm some where else," I said wittily. She laughed immoderately. "You're T- so - funny," she re marked, choking. "Yes," said 1 sevorely, "I suppose I -am funny, very funny-but where are my violets?" "Why, bad y ou - any - violets?" said she, "I didn't know-how should I know?" She said it seriously, but there was a look in her eyes that I was used to : I'd have liked to shake her. "Dolly, you know exactly what I mean; where are my violets?" "If you mean the violets you sont me," the replied with diguity, "I understood that after they left you they bolonged to me; do you want them back ?" This freezingly. "Ob. Dolly;" I said, reduced once more to my- usnal condition of asi ninity, "I didn't mean it, dear, I don't want the d- I beg your pardon, of course I don't want them ; I only wanted you to wear them or carry them, you know, darling." Eut she saw that she had the best of me, so carried things with a high hand. "The rose was sent me by a friend," she hesitated, "undi suppose I have a right to wear what I please ; but sit down, don't stand fo long, you'll bo tired!" This was an allusion to my age, und it maddened me. "You are exceedingly rude!" 1 fcaid, turning away r.nd leaving her. It was the most revere speech I bad ever made to Dolly, and 1 suffered at the thought of it. For four days I didn't go near her or send her violets once, lt was an awful four days; 1 neither slept nor ate, but jiut reviled myself as a fool for becoming es tranged from the only woman in tho world. In my despair I even went so far as to take Jane Hunt to a dance whero Dolly was sure to see us, and she did. And when I passed her and she looked over my head with her small nose in the air, I wished Miss Hunt was in-well, somewhere elso, that I might rnnh over to Dolly, throw myself at her feet-and kiss them! Yee, I acknowledge that I have often wished that. Finally I wrote to her, fnlly con scious that it was a very silly leti:er, wherein I told her I was merely angry at myself for not knowing she cared for red roses, and I seut three dozen. Tho answer I received was characteristic : "Yen are a silly old goose, and if you bad only waited until I finished what I wts saying you would have dis covered that you sent the rose your self with the violets. I don't care at all for red roses." By which token I learned, not that Dolly was repentant, but that her violets had faded, and she wanted more. So I sent them, hundreds of them, hoping that willful and fas cinating young woman would be ap peased. But tho greatest of my misfortunes has not yet been 6et down. There was another young man, an acquaintance and admirer of Dolly's, with exactly the same name as myself-Richard Merton. I, of course, had taken a huge dislike to him, in fact I hated him (for Dolly once remarked that he was a nico fellow), and I don't think he had au extraordinary affection for me. We rere no relation ; I was glad of that. A few days after I had been such a cad to Dolly I called upon her, and, heaven favoring me, I found her alone. "Dolly, dearest," I began, "I am so torry-" "Don't," she said, that incident is closed. There are so many nicer things to talk about; Jane Hunt for instance." I shivered ; ? was about to be punished. "Is she nicer?'' eaid I. "What do you really think of her?" 6aid Dolly with rallier an anxious look I thought ; but ot" ooutsa I wa* mil taken, [R. MORTONS. "Ob, she's a very good girl, very good !" with a desperate desire to make Dolly jealous if I could, which I couldn't. "Is she?" Dolly tossed her head. "Well, Mr. Morton, do you want to know what 1 think Bho looks like?" The "Mr. Morton" was ominous; I shivered again. "I can't imagine," said I lightly, thiuking how very pretty Dolly was with that pink spot in either cheek. "I think she looks like a cook 1" she declared triumphantly, while I, in wardly agreeing, protested: "Oh, Dolly, a cook!" "Yes," she went on spitefully, "and not even like a good cook 1" "Dolly ! Not like a bad cook?" "Yes," she went on, "like a very poor cook !" I was obliged to laugh, I couldn't help it. ".Splendid wife she'd make!" said I, not meaning to rouse Dolly. But suddenly she turned and eaid tho most terrible thing to me that she'd ever said since I'd known her. "Then you'd better marry her!" This from Dolly 1 "Oh-" I began, but she was gone, and thero was nothing for me to do but to pick up ray hat and go, which I did, calling myself a beast and abrate as I went. That night leaving the theatre we happened to meeta moment. She was radiant and scornful. "Dolly," I said, resolving not to no tice the contretemps of the afternoon, "who ero you going to dance the co tillion with at the Terry's to-morrow night?" "With Mr. Morton," sho answered sweetly. "What a dear you are-I was afraid you'd promise somebody else.'' ?nd then she laughed. "With the pleasant, agreeable Mr. Morton," sho continued, "who never 6ays the wrong thing." And then I knew she meant the other one! I'm alraid I eaid a bad word ; her mocking laugh followed rae in the darkness, and echoed in my dreams that night. I wished I'd .never seen her-and took it back immediately. I debated a long time within myself whether or not I should go to the Ter ry's, but as usual ended by going. I could dance stag and take Dolly out, and-lovely idea-perhaps she would lake me out! Then as I thought of tho way I had left her the night before, this beautiful hope faded. What would she want with a brute like ma? I never saw her look better than that night of the Terry's dance; she was in white, which best became her, and she seemed to me like an angel. And that beastly Morton looked pretty well too. I had to admit to myself that he was rather a well ap pearing chap. Mrs. Floyd Hopkins, who aspires to be something of a belle herself, stood for a moment and followed the direc tion of my glance. "Miss Dalrymple is looking particu larly well this evening," said she, a very gracious speeoh indeed for her. "Very!" I replied, having Bense enough left not to discass Dolly with a woman. "But what an awful flirt !" she went on ; this left me gasping. "And eng?ged, I understand, to Mr. Morton all tho time." "Who said it?" I asked hoarsely. Dolly engaged-and to that-cad with my name. "Oh, everybody says 60," and then she looked at me with such an unpleas ant smile. "That's your name too, isn't it?" "YeB, I believe it is," I oaid bril liantly, moving away from her. Dolly engaged I I couldn't grasp the full significance of it; the thought le.'t me dazed and bewildered. This very night would decide it. I would go to her and ask her if there was any truth in it. Just then she came toward me ns if she was going to take me out, but something in my face must have stopped her. "What is the matter?" she said, turning a little white. "Dolly," I 6aid sternly, "will you give me the first two dances after sup per?" "Of course-if you want them ; but won't you dance now?" I never saw Dolly so meek before. "No," I answered, almost roughly, "not now." She left me with a strange look on her sweet face. It seemed centuries until supper ; I tried to think of what I should say to her, but my mind wa* in .such a cha otic state that 1 decided to depend on tho inspiration of the moment. At last supper was over and I found her, tucked her arm in mine, and marching off to a quiet nook, put her in the only seat, and stood accusingly before her. "Dolly," 1 began, look at mel" This she did, a little timidly, I thought, and I almost forgot what I was going to say in tho joy of looking at her. "My darling," I went on, "I have loved you so long, so well, and hoped that in the course of years you might come to care-" she dropped her eyes ; just then 1 remembered that horrible gossip, "but to-night, Dolly, I heard something that turned my heart to stone." "What was it?" ihe asked. "That YOU were engaged to-" "Who?" breathlessly. "3Iorton," I gasped, "that wretch ed, caddish-" "Stop!" sho said, with dignity. "Tell roe. you. shall," 1 grasped her wrists ; "is it sc?" If it had be ?n any woman in the world but Dolly I should have said she was embarrassed. Sho actually blushed. "No," she said slowly, "it is not so, but-" her hands went up and covered her face. My Leavens ! suppose she should cry. "But what?" I insisted cruelly; "you're not engaged to him, but you're in love with him?" She took her hands away and her face was very red ; if it had ne t been such a serious moment I should have said she had beeu laughiug. "Mr. Morton hap-never-asked me to be his-wife-if he does-1 shall- " I was beside myself. .'And if he does?" I hissed. "I shall say yes," very softly. A terrible silence ensued ; tho oar I h 'iras sinking beneath my feet. "You love this Mr. Morton?" I fftjid sharply. And then the very queerest thing in the world happened; Dolly's faoe whitened a little as she rose and put out her hand. "Yes, you old goose," sho said, "1 love this Mr. Morton !" It didn't take me long to gather Dolly into my arms. The next five minutes are not to ap pear in this narrative. "Dolly," said I, blissfully, "did you ever know such a stupid old fool as I am?" "Never in nil my life," said the sweetest of girls, her voice coming from tho vicinity of my coat collar. "And do 3'ou suppose that woman meant me when she told me that gos sip, ray darling?" "Ox course ehe-did," said the voice, "and I'm glad she said it-I don't believe you'd ever havo asked rae, otherwise!" My answer would not look well on paper. "Do you know, Dick, that you never have asked mo before?" And when I carno to think of it, I never had.-Tho Peterson Magazine. WORDS OF WISDOM. There aro two kinds of women in this world ; ono kind sits and sighs si lently about her wrongs, and the other storms and raves about her rights. He who thinks he can find within himself tho means of doing without others is much mistaken, but he who thinks that others cannot do without him is still moro mistaken. Wouldst lhou rather be a peasant's son that knew, were it ever so rude ly, there was a God in heaven and m man, or a duke's son that only knew there were two and thirty quarters on the family coach? We must make peoplo feel that heaven and hell are not places for drinkir sweet wine or being broiled alfs oonie distance ofF, but they are au** before us and within us, in the street and at the fireside. People wno make puns are like wan ton boya that put coppers on the rail ? road tracks. They amuse themselves and other children, but their little trick may upset a freight train of con versation for tho sake of a battered witticism. The one fact in which all unavoid ably agree is that wo come into tho world alone and wo go out of the world alone and though wo travel in company and make a great show of 0"r fellowship r.nd of bearing one anoth er's burdens we carry our deepest bur dens alone. No employment can drag a true man to any lower level, but he may lift any honest, honorable employment to a higher level. The ono great question which is of transcendent importance is -charaoter.

A new and simple mode of treat ment has been introduced in France by which, it is claimed, a large pro portion of injured limbs now usually amputated can be saved, say the Hospital. The method, which is due KO Dr. Reclus, was recently described before the French Congress of Sur gery, and is thne explained: "Whatever the extent or gravity of the lesions, he (Dr. Reclus) never under any circumstances amputates the injured limb, but merely wraps it in antiseptic substance by a veritable embalming process, leaving nature to separate the dead from the living tissues. This method of treatment possesses Ihe double advantage of being much less fatal than surgioal exaeresis, and of preserving for the nae of tho patient if not tho entire limb, at aDy rate a much larger part thom would bo loft after amputation. He advocates this very conservative treatment on account of the excellent effects of hot water, which he uses freely. After the skin has been shaved and cleansed from all fatty substanoea by ether, etc., in the usual way, a jet of hot water is made to irritate all the injured surfaces, and to penetrate into all the hollows and under all the de tached parts of the wound, withont exception. This is the only way of removing all clots and to wash away all foreign bodies, together with the micro-organisms they may contain. The advantages of hot water at this high temperature are threefold : (1) Hot water at this temperature is antiseptic, heat greatly increaaea the potency of antiseptic substances; (2) it is hemostatic (that is, stanches the How of blood) ; (3) it helps tc? com pensate for the loss of heat resulting from the bleeding, nud especially from the traumatic shock. After the 'em balming* process, and the dead tissue bas been separated from the living, tho surgeon has nothing to do except to divide the bones at a suitable spot. According to Reclus tho resulta at tained ore remarkable." The Iron Rings of IS 13. A great inquiry is now being made in different German towns for the iron mourning rings of the year 1813. The history of these curious memorials of German patriotism may not be gener* ally known. During the National awakening against Napoleon in 1813 the princess of tho royal house made an appeal to tho peoplo for the sacri* fioe of personal ornaments not unlike hat made by the Long Parliament at tho beginning of our civil wars. Gold monrning rings were consequently sent in immense numbers to tho treas' ury in Berlin, and each sender re* ceived in acknowledgment an iron ring upon which was inscribed "Gold 1 give for Iron." From Swinemunde alone no fewer than 144 gold rings were sacrificed to the Fatherland, and iron rings sent thither in exchange. Specimens of these iron rings are now worth more than their weight in gold. -Westminster Gazette. Wheelman's Remarkable Experience.

The president of Peru is General Nicolo Pierola. He was elected in 1895. The ancient monarchs of India were called Palibothri, from the name of their capital city. For over 400 years every Parthian king bore the name of Arsaces in ad dition to his own. The Huns number in their annals four great kings-Attila, Bledn, Ellric and Dengezic. The Visigoths in Spain, from Alaric, in 382 A. D., to Roderic, in 709, had thirty-four kings. Salvador is a republic and its presi dent is General GutierreR, whose term of office began June 5, 1894. Some English geneologists pretend that there is a family line of union con necting Queen Victoria with Alfred the Great. The first king of the Vandab was Gunderic, who ascended the throne in 406 A. D. Their last king was Gel imer, 531-534. Kenneth became sole king of Scot land 834. From his time to the acces sion of James VI Scotland had forty four kings. The name Agag, mentioned in Jew ish history as that of an Amabkite king, was used in common by all sov ereigns of that country.
