TO PREVENT it B GROWTH OF HORNS.

the little hora. This operation is re- '
pouted from no to eight times until 11
the surface otthe horn becomes slight- n
ly sensitive.? The whole operation 1
need take onjy a few minutes, and the ^

PRETTY INVALIDS.
"One of tho things that helped my

who has jnst regained her health after
i serious illness, "was a pretty bed

MODELS FOR DRESSMAKERS.
"In Chicagofeml New York, as in j
every large manufacturing city, a I
arge class of girls and wotiM^^^^a j
iving as model??not for a^^But*
n cloakmaking and dressmaking oslablishmonte.
They are livirg lay
agures, upon which garments arc
"tried" and draped. A dressmaker
ivitk finicky customers has to select
aer model with wisdom. The girl
must pose for dark add light, for
lylphs and plump ladies. The dressmaker,
therefore, selects for that employment
a young woman about the
twenties, who has a good medium, allaround
figure, ono who would wear a
forty-four-iuch skirt, whose natural
waist would bo about twenty-six inches
and whoso bust measure would be
about thirty-seven inches. Given a
young woman with those inches and a
healthy, pliable frame, and the nouto
dressmaker with a little aid from the
lay flguro on expansion and contraction
linos will mako both her stoat
and her thin customer think that oaoh
of them lookv like this young creature
of tlio happy mean.
To this ndnptibility of figure, which
in most oasos dooH not last boyond,
well, say thirty years of ago, must be
addod a ploasant, cheerful face, and,
what is much rarer, unfailing imperturbability.
Customors, nnd especially
rich ones, aro vory apt to bo impatient
and say things; alterations
aro suggested that tako a long time iu
carrying out; tho dresBmakor seems
to forget that the lay figure is flonb
and blood, and altogether a trying on
ie quite a trial of the nerves. Then, i
too, thin potting Hometimes goes on all !
day, u:ul when it in remembered that
the model has always to bo careful of
her clothing, ho an to look well on all

The First Commoner e! Englsr.d.
The position of the British Speaker
is somewhat unfamiliar to tho experience
of other Nations. He is tho appointee
ol the House itselt by froo
election, and while he is necessarily
subject to re-elfcotiou at the opening
of each new Parliament his re-eleotion
has never been even opposed, except
on one oooasioD, during the long
period of two hundred voare. Onoo
eleoted, therefore, the Speaker practioally
holds office till he chooses to resign.
In no oase is a British Spoaker
ever likely to be chosen from the ranks
of very active partisans; indeed,thero
ib no such case upon reoord. The
Government of the day is charged
with the duty of proposing a suitable
oandidate, and his rejection by the
House would entail the resignation of
Ihe Ministry, but there is no reason ~ *
why ne should even be selected from
the party of the Government. There
have been eases in which an opposi|
tion member of special personal fit|
ness has been chosen, and it is a
curious fact that such a course has
even become common in some of tho
Australasian colonies, whose parlia!
mentary praotice is scrupulously
framed upon the British model. To
| be the "First Commoner of England,"
tho representative of the representative
Chamber which actually rule> tho
, Empire, is of course uu object of ambition,
and if a suitable oandidate can
be found in the Government party ho
. is likely to be chosen; on the other
hand, it may be doubted whether it is
possible to point to any public position
where personal fitness outers so
largely into the calculations of thoso
! intrusted with selection to an important
office. It is encouraging to find
that the result has been that dignity
and impartiality have distinguished
the holders of the office for hundreds
of years. Perhaps it is equally important
to find that the influence o'these
two moral qualities has been
found equal to the task of maintaining
order and curbing excitement during
I centuries of National life where tho
[ coercive powers vested in the holder
.. i. ,,
oi ino onice iteeii are eo small an to
depend entirely for enforcement upon
the vote of the House in each cane.?
