The Eyebrows.

The New York Hairdrcsser tells MS
just how the arches Of the eyebrows
ought to look 10 add TO the beauty Of
the feminine face.
Though it is indispensable to beauty
TO have the eyebrows Of dark color
and also a protection 10 the sight, rs
they are the natural shade Of the eve.
yet when they become larger and shag-
gy il gives q look Of vulgarity and Is
also a mark Of old age. We must re-
quest you 30 attend 10 this. and. if the
hair grows too long and thick, 10 keep
Il down with the scissors. If this be
not sufficient, some Of the longest hairs
may be removed by the tweezcrs. The
same means may be tried and are much
better and safer than anydepilatory to
diminish the extent of the eyebrows
and prevent them from spreading. We
have very different taste in this re-
spect from the ancient Romans. who
considered il indispensable in a beauty
10 have her eyebrows meet. which is
in Scotland called lucken browed."
from notion that the person whose
eyebrows are so formed is, or should be,
lucky. Instead, therefore, of painting
the space between the eyebrows to
initiate hair. we consider il more hand
some TO have all the hair removed and
the eyebrows well separated. The
Roman fashion, 1t must be confessed.
formed better outwork to prevent
the perspiration Of the forehead from
falling into the eyes; and this. beside
forming a shade for the light, is their
chief Office, according 90 Socrates. who
instances the form and place of the
eyebrows as . strong argument for
Providence.

The World. .

I his world IL a sad, sad place, I know
And what soul living can doubt it7-
But il wnl not lessen the want and wos
To be always singing about II.
Then away with tho songs that are full of
tears
Away with tho dirges that sadden;
Let US make the most of our fieeting years
BY singing the lays that gladden..
A few sweet portions of bliss I've quaffed,
And many a cup of sorrow;
But, in thinking over the favored draught,
Tho oldtime Joy borrow;
And by brooding over the bitter drink,
Pain fills again the measure;
And so have learned that it's best TO think
OF the things that give us pleasure.
The world at its saddest is not all sad
There arc days of sunny weather;
And the people in it are not all bad,
But saints and sinners together.
think those wonderful hours in June
Are better by far to remember
Than those when the world gets out of tune,
In the cold. bleak winds of November.
Because We meet in the walks of life
Many selfish creature,
Ii does not prove that this world of strife
Has no redeeming feature.
There is bloom and beauty upon the earth
There are buds md blossoming flowers
There are souls of truth and hearts Of worth
There are glowing, golden hours.
In thinking over JOY we've known,
We easily make it double;
Which is better by far than to nope and
moan
Ger sorrow, and grief, and trouble.
For, though the world is sad, sad place,
tAnd who that is living can doubt it2)
Ii will not lessen the want and woe
To be always signing about it.

manner in which they are utilized:
When lady wants TO buy drcs.
one Of the figures is called MP and She
puts the dress on TO show how il looks.
She walks mp and down the floor sew
cral times and imprcsscs the buyer
with the beauty Of the dress. which. |
will conidcntIally say, is due in 3 great
measure 20 the beauty Of the figure
Then the dress is sometimes purchased
Very often, however, the lady is not
satisfied with the first dress, and tie
operation is continued indefinitely. In
case the purchaser desires 20 buy a
cloak. the figure has 90 robe herself in
allthc furs of the season TO please the
customer. The figure dresses and un-
dresses perhaps 100 times in the course
Of the day. When the girls are very
attractive they are very good adver-
tisements for the stores in which they
are employed. Their beauty draws
custom.

NANNIE'S CHOICE.

High time, declared the gossips of
GRANVILLE, that Mamie Williams made
choice Of a husband and gave To the
other girls, who doubtless would make
better wives if they had not as much
beauty, some chance. Utterly absurd
that the men followed, one after
another, ike sheep in a drove, where
ever her caprices led They were like
a hive of bees contending for one
flower and blind TO all the gardenful
besides. But Mamie only smiled
when some whisper of this reached her
and let the goSSips talk.
Full well she knew her power, this
simple, little country girl. who pos
sessed no dover save her beauty
right Loyalty she used it. Besides. il
was not quite as the gossips declared.
There was no such butter in all the
country rs that which came from Nan
ME Williams farm. and Nannie's
fingers, white and tapered As they were,
nodded it; no cream was so thick
and yellow. and Mamie had sole charge
OF the dairy; no house was more neat
and tidy and a nameless air of femi.
nine grace about it, and Mamie, since
her mothers death, reigned sole mis-
tres. No wonder the young men felt
the race well run with such a prize at
its goal.
True, she had saucy word ever
ready; but one readily forgave its
harmlessness for the sake of the sweet,
brilliant smile which lent her pretty
face its rarest charm and seemed to
mutely plead her pardon.
However, when it was least ex-
pected, Mamie made her choice. and
1t fell upon Sydney Richards. There
was nothing to be said against him.
He was good-looking young fellow.
with farm of his own.
He and Mamie would make a hand
some couple and doubtless would sue
eeed well in the world; but for all that
1t was surprise to many Of them, and
enc or two of the more discerning ones
said that she had flirtcd shamelessly
with Dick Armstrong. and that quiet
n he had ever been he had grown
more so since the betrothal was an
nOunced.
Mamie did not hear this, however,
nor had she seen Dick since her en-
gagement, until one evening, some
three weeks after. she had wandered
down to the little gate opening on to
The road. and stood leaning listlessly
against it, when quick, firm tread
broke the silence, and flush of Grim
son rose TO her face, then receded, as a
tall, stalwart figure came around a
sharp turning in the road.
He gave quick start, too, as he
perceived her, and would have passed
on, merely raising the straw hat from
tho close-cropped blonde head, but that
her voice, little tremulous, detained
him.

ment to approach her. until she held
out toward him small white hand.
"Dick," she repeated, "of all my
friends, you are the only one who has
not congratulated me-"
Indeed 7" he answered, with a
strange, hard smile. 81 hope 1t Is not
too late"
And touching the little fingers for
N instant only he turned away again
ss IL he considered all his duty done.
Hot tears rose TO Nannie's eyes,

THE FIFTH DISTRICT.
TO-Day's Democratic Congressional Con-
Vehtion at Fergus Falls-Litt1e Interest
Manifested-The Probabilities as to Candi-

dates.
lSpeo al Telegram to the Globe.
FERGUS FALLS, Minn., Sept. 6.-The
Democratic convention to nominate can
dldate TO represent the Fifth district in
congress meets in this city at p. m. to-
morrow. SO far. there is very little to in
dlcate that convention is to be held. and
III this resA&ct it is IN striking contrast to
! fhe circus held in Detroit few weeks ago.
IrUe, there is brass band parading the
streets, but it is playing i'll the interest of
comedy company that is performing
III this city tonight. Very few of the del
gates have areived, but number
are expected on the morning train
There are no headquarters for the candi-
dates talked of, and so far as the GLOBE
representative has been able to learn there
are no candidates even on hand.
1.-The Democratic convention for Otter
Tail county met to-day and elected the fol-
lowing delegates to attend the convention
to be held here tomorrow: Robert Miller.
!. 5. Brocklehurst, G. H. Duggine, H. B.
Martin. j. z. Kennedy, Z. II. Love. J. T.
Fort, Thomas Leison and NJ. r. Lowery
The. delegates are uninstructed. but like all
cot e:s. as ar h ard rom. they are in
favor of r. l.. Frazer if he will accept
the nomination. 1t is rumored that a tele-
gram has been received from Mr.. Frager.
who is expected here in the morning. to
the effect that he would accept if he was
unanimously nominated. but this is
doubted in the face Of his repeated asser-
tion that he would not accept the office,
even let alone the doubtful honor of a
nomination. A portion of the delegation
from Stearn county are here headed
by Sheriff Mickey. The sheriff says that
Stearns county will present the name
of Z. P. Barnum, and as Stearns has twenty
SIX delegates, neary one-fourth of the entire
convention, and in view of the further
fact that Todd and three or four counties
have declared for him, he stands good
show on the first ballot if one is taken.
A telegram has been received that twenty
eight delegates are on their,way from the
western counties, ali in favor Of R. c.
Moore, of Stevens county. From present
indications a strong effort will be made to
induce Mr.. Frazee to accept, failing in
which in all probability Mr.. Bar
mum will be nominated, as he
is the next choice of major
lty OF Ine deIeSateS. Ih1S city and
{. portion of Otter Tail county is Nelson's
stronghold, mostly on account of his ma
tionality and personal acquaintance. He
is handicapped, however, by being backed
by the corrupt pine land ring of Minneap-
oils and st. Cloud, whose trail, like that of
a serpent, is all over the district. Kindred
has many warm Republican friends here,
however, who do not hesitate to denounce
the Infamous and corrupt means by which
the will of the regular convention at De-
troit was thwarted and a boiling candidate
put upon the party in the district, using
his nationality to carry out their own sell
fish and theiving purposes.

Conservative Support.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 6.-There never was
such fright among the whisky men of
Nebraska as there is at the present time
They begin to think their time has come, and
SO are making quiet bids for the support
of the law and order or non n-combative ele-
ment of the state. Here is one of series of
resolutions which were promulgated recently
by the Anti-Prohibition league of this CITY:
1--WE hereby affirm that we are in favor of
sobriety and temperate habits, and in favor
of the use of proper means for the pro-
motion of these virtues; that we believe
that reasonable and just laws upon the
subject faithfully enforced are better
than extreme measures which infringe
upon the personal rights and liberties of
individuals, and which can never be effect
ually enforced, thus bringing the majesty
of the law into disrepute. We are therefore
Internationally opposed to any law pro-
hibiting the manufacture and sale of
spirituous and malt liquors. We are op-
posed to submitting that question in the
form of an amendment to the constitu-
ton to vote of the people, and we are in
favor of judicions license law.
