The season of balls now closed by
Lent, had no more conspicuous figure
than that of a woman who said she was
a bonanza queen from California, with
millions in her money-box, and no
ton in her head that she wanted to see
New York life. Nobody knew her, but
everybody could see that she was hand
some, almost young, elegantly dressed,
and disposed TO be risky. She went
to the charity and other fashionable
balls at the academy of music, and was
received as a visitor in several wealthy
families. Exactly now she put herself
ly learned. Whenever she appeared
in a public gathering, well-known men
dangled in her train. Her costumes
were described in the newspaper reports,
real or paste diamonds were sprinkled
over her person, she boarded at the
Hoffman house, and altogether was
this winters most CONSPICUOUS woman
in New York. Her conduct in public
was decorous, but there was an occasion
when indiscretion terminated this phase
in metropolitan career. After a ball
she went with four gentlemen to an
Aston place restaurant for an elaborate
supper. All got drunk. The woman
said she had lost diamond, and charg-
ed one of her companions with stealing
it. The accused was a member of the
high and mighty family of Livingstone.
She would not be quieted, but called a
policeman, and had him arrested. The
whole party went to the police station,
where she was so noisy aEd immodest
that the charge was discredited. That
finished her as a social goddess. 1t is
said that she afterwards found the jew
el in her pocket. She has been turned
out Of the hotel, her antecedents have
been disclosed, and society is ONCE more
compelled to confess having been COM
pletely taken in.

VaSeline.

A new product made from petroleum
is Jelly called "Vaseline," which is OF
the greatest utility in medicine, phar-
macy and for toilet use. Physicians all
over the world have discovered its great
value in the treatment of wounds, burns.
skin diseases, rheumatism, catarrh and
every ailment where remedy is need
ed, and in almost every hospital in
America and Europe this substance is
now in constant use, and is aCknoWl-
edged not only to be the best treatment,
but also one of the most important re-
cent additions to medicine. 1t is put
up in bottles by the Cneesbrough Man
ufacturing Co., of New York, and as
family remedy it is without doubt the
best in use. Its healing and pain allay-
ing qualities being superior 10 those OF
any known substance, while the speedy
relief it affords for piles and chilblains
is almost magical. As an emOlient,
Vaseline is way ahead of anything else,
as it renders the skin smooth, soft and
clear, and our lady friends will find it
not only the best, but perhaps the sole
substance which will really preserve
and restore to the complexion the hues
Of youth, making the cheek like velvet
and the skin like satin. The complex
ion powders in common use, gre, as
rule, injurious to the skin and destruct-
i've of any complexion, while Vasellne
is entirely healthful and beneficial.
There is also made "Pomade Vasel
ine," which is said to be of great benefit
to the hair, keeping it soft and glossy,
preventing and curing dandrutf, and
keeping the scalp healthful and free
from disease, and from those objection
able creatures which sometimes find q
dwelling there. Numberless instances
are cited of how by the use of this po-
made thin and failing hair has resumed
a vigorous growth. Both the pure Vas
cline and the pomade are put up IN
twenty-five cent bottles and are to be
found at all first class druggists, and we
advise our readers to make q trial of
this wonderful substance, and we think
they will find its claims to merit not IN
the least exaggerated Sunday Times

Brain-wOrk, Alcohol and Tobacco.

James Parton concludes q recent very
suggestive article upon the habits and
death of Bayard Taylor, whom he had,
as personal friend, warned against the
danger of wine and beer drinking and
smoking, as follows: Mental labor is
not hostile to ones health and life. But
l am more than ever convinced that a
man who lives by his brain is of all
men bound to avoid stimulating the
brain. In this country to stimulate
the brain by alcohol and tobacco Is only
a slow kind Of suicide. Even the most
moderate use of the mill est wine
is not without danger, because the pc
culiar exhaustion caused!by severe men,
tai labor Is a constant and urgent temp
tation to increase the quantity and
strength of the potation. L would say
to every young man III the United
States, i'll could reach him: If you
mean to attain one of the prizes of your
profession, and live cheerful life to
the age of eighty, throw away your
dirty old pipe, put your cigars i'll the
stove, never buy any more, become an
absolute teetotaler, take your dinner in
the middle Of the day, and rest one
day in seven"

Why He Didn't Propose.

He said he once fell desperately in
love with a pretty blonde who had the
most bewitching ringlets that ever en-
shared the heart of a man in their
meshes. That he raved like lunatic
over these golden tresses. That he
wrote sonnets to their beauty and lux
uriance, and even wore tiny love-lock,
which he stole from them one starry
night, upon his head for six long
months. And that, in fact, he was so
much entranced by the ringlets that he
resolved to marry their fair owner.
And so one evening when he had fully
made up his mind to propose, he set off
to visit his inamorata, quoting poetry rs
he went along, and wondering how a
fellow set about anyway when he really
wanted to marry pretty girl. Unluck-
lily, the fair one with the golden locks
was not at home when he called that
night, and her younger sister came
waltzing into the parlor to meet him.
And, oh! horrors of horrors! she had
pinned on her little head mass Of
golden curls, which the poor fellow rec
ognized at once. "Sister Bellies gone
out" said the little mink, and I thought
I'd put on her cllrls and come down to
see her beau?' This broke up the in
tended match, put an end to sonnet
writing and other vague, lover-like
rhapsodies, and added one more to the
fearfully long list of Saratoga old
bachelors.-Sophia Sparkle, IN Neao

Vanderbllt's Millions.

SOME one has made very curious
calculation of what Mr.. Vanderbilt
could do with his money. William H.
Vanderbilt's income from his invest
ments in SOL. 100000 four per cent.
Government bonds is represented at
90, 900 daily, which is $2OS. rs per hour,
81. 81 per minute, or over five cents per
second. Assuming that he is paid by
the second, he cannot possibly spend
his money, as he could not select his
purchases and lay down the pieces fast
enough. He could not throw it away;
to pick up, cast, recover, pick up and
cast again would take him two seconds,
and if he worked all through the twen-
ty-four hours without rest, he could
only Oppose of one-half his income. BY
living economically saving up for four
years he could, placing his five-cent
pieces side by side, make a nicke! belt
around the earth, or by converting his
savings into one cent pieces and mount
ing them in pile he would, in twenty
years, erect a road to the moon and
have $500 to invest when he got there.
Should his amusement take charita-
bic twist, he could out of years re-
ceipts donate to every man, woman and
child in the United States 20 cents and
have money left over. Other vast
possibilities occur to the glowing fancy
of the calculator. In one day he could
60 to 5000 different circuses, eat 10, 900
pints Of peanuts, drink 5000 glasses Of
lemonade, and have money left to get
his boots BACKED. He can afford to
have 100000 shirts washed in one day,
and on the day Of his death his income
will buy ten first class funerals. Ithaca

"Havana" Cigars from Paper.

THE straw paper manufacturers of the
Chatham portion of Columbia County,
N. Y, have for many years been aware
that their product has nearly all gone
South, and been used in Cuba as filters
for cigars. None of them manufacture
specially with this end in view, although
their paper is well adapted for IS bogus''
cigar making. The paper used for the
purpose indicated is of the lightest weight
e to IL lbs.) it is possible to make.
There is one mill in the county located
at Queechy Uown of Canaan) which
manufactures the straw paper expressly
for wrappers-not filters. The Queechy
Paper Company's paper mill is situated
on creek but short distance below
lake, and being at the head of the stream,
tie water is Of much greater purity, and
hence their ability to produce the de-
sired article Of paper. The straw paper
used in filing the Havana cigars is satu-
rated with decoction prepared from
the stem and refuse of Havana seed Leaf,
mingled with which are extracts Of
liquorice root, SIENNA, etc. The paper il
20 skillfnlly stamped to resemble the to-
bacco leaves, the very veins Of the leaf
being perfectly initiated, that it can sal-
dom, il ever, be detected from the gen
uine article.-zHe Paper World.
