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.

Railroad Earnings.
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.

CLO N S V M P XION v
THE TWO M
OLLY is tho moat mad-1
dening, tantalizing,
perverso and charm
ing-I might ns well
admit it, .you'd soou
have found it *out- j
young woman of my
acquaintance. 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.

New Method ol Amputation.
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.

Dan read?) on, and falls asleap
See tho woman softly cre?p;
Baby rests at last, poor dear,
Not a word her heart to cheer;
Mending basket full to top,
Stockings, saltia, and li'ttle frock;
Tired eyes and weary brain,
Side wi: h darting, ugly pain
"Never min i, 'twill pass away;"
Site must work, but never play,
Closed plano, used books.
Done the walks to cosey nooks,
Brightness faded out ot life -
Saddened woman,
Dan'3 wife.
Upstairs, tossing to and fro,
Fever holds the woman low;
Cnildron wander, free to play,
When and where they will to-day;
Bridget loiters-dinner's cold
Dan looks anxious, cross and old;
Household scrows aro out of place;
Lacking one denr, patient face;
Steady hinds-so wak. but true
Hauds that knew just what to do,
Never knowing rest or play,
Folded now nnd luid away;
Work of six, in ono short life
Shattered woman,
Dan's wife.

Apples.
Beti, and russet, nnd yellow,
Lyiug hero lu ii heap
Pippins, rounded and mellow;
Greeniug.i for winter keep;
Seek-no-furtlier, whose blushiug
The soul of thc saint would trv,
Till his face showed the crimson flushing
The cheek of a northern spy.
Hid from the winter weather,
Safe from the wind an I sleet,
Hore :ln a pile together
Russet and pippin moot.
And in this dim nnd dusty
Old cellnr they fondly hold
A breath, liko the grapes made musty
By the summer's radiant gold.
Each sooms to hold a vagrant
Sunbeam, lost from tho sky,
When lily blooms were fragrant
Walls for tho butterfly;
And when the snow is flying,
What feast lu tho honrded store
Of crimson nnd yellow lying
Heaped higii on the sandy floor.
Fruitage of bright spring splendor,
Of leaf and blossom-time,
That no tropic land can mend or
Take from this frosty clime
Fruit for the liearls.toue meeting,
Whose flavor naught can destroy,
How you make my heart's switt beating
Throb with the pulse of a boy!
[Apples, scarlet an 1 golden,
Apples, juicy and tart,
Bringing again the olden
Joy to the weary heart
You send the swift thoughts sweeping
Through wreckage of time and tears,
To that hidden chamber, keeping
The gladness of youth's bright years.

preserves human bodies in thc form ol
mummies quile as natural as they

This process is quite tedious, often
accupying from four to eight hours.
At last alcohol is injected so as to ab

occupies about a quarter of an hour.
Afterward ether is injected for the pur

this operation consuming from one tc

of the subject.

from two to len hours' more time. Thf

Modern Dervishes Mail Clad.
The old story that tho dervishes
possessed swords nnd coats of mai
dating back to the ornsadus is con
firmed by tho capture of some o.
these interesting relics after the re

history of the armor and weapons
ased originally in Palestine and found
again after 700 years in the Soudac
would mcko a breathless chapter o
romance. History plays the romantic

This story on Amos J. Cummings
was told by Amos himself:
During tho last campaign Mr. Cum
mings tried to say as little about free
silver as possible, though he was ruuj|
ning for congress as a free silver man.
Secure iu the friendship of every po
liceman and letter carrier in his dis
trict, he got on swimmingly until al
most tl%> last speech he made. It was
in a great hall, and he had a large au
dience. He talked about national
honor, and the flag, and the equality
of man, and the rights of the masses,
with a twist or two of the British lion's
tail by way of variety. It was a great
speech. Suddenly it was interrupted
by a man down in the first row.
"Tell us about the ratio!" he cried
and he pronounced the first syllable to
rhyme with hash.
Mr. Cummings pa-vsd-, perplexed.
Just then his eye caught the eye of an
especially friendly policeman. No
words were exchanged, but an instant
later the strong hand of the law de
scended on the collar of the inquiring
man. He was yanked clear out of his
sea* and hustled to the door.
"I'll have you understand," said the
policeman, as he jerked him down the
aisle, "that we'll have no such lan
guage used here!"-Washington Post.

we seo no way of improvement. Of course, if wo were
