from those which ere impure. Many of the
members OF the society thought at the time that
this was an unwise measure but the secretary
carried his point. 1t was agreed that the brew
els should submit their beer for analysis under
| the direction of the society. The brewers were
to pay 800 each for the chemists certificate,
| which money was TO be transferred by the So
! c:cty to the chemists making the analysts It
/ Is ROW asserted by leading members of the So
ciety that the plausible secretary arranged with

receive SO for each analysis This left a very
VIDE margin The society did not benefit by ii.
somebody did. and that is what has broken
the society 10 pieces. This feature of the
Charitable work of the B. NJ. NJ. s. has assumed
vast proportions; indeed, the circle has been go
widfned as to include not only brewing COM
pa;lies In all parts of this country but in Eu-
rope Thcpres:deat and nearly all of the officers

calm and said now that the dead wood had been
got rid of the Is. II. n S. would flourish As a
matter OF TACT. he may smile and smile. but he
can't carry on the movement now. The society
Is unquestlonab!y going to pieces.
POLITICS ONCE MORE.
Only langu:d interest has been taken in
politics since the electlOn-sO much SO in fact
that the meeting of the citizens committee the
thing almost forgotten. Those at the head Of
the citizens movement show determination
not to let it die, and have appointed committees
and set up other machinery to keep 1t going
until the next campaign. Some of the MEM
bers favor an affiliaton with the republican
party, but they are in the minority Most of
the members attribute their defeat at the last
election to the treachery of the Presidents
frieRd. Johnny OBren (whO. by the way, has
oeen In complete Obscurity since his defeat)
aud are IN favor OF being entirely independent
OF any party III the future. The stalwarts have
dropped into as deep Obscurity as Johnny OBrien.
At present it doesn't look as if they would ever
be able to set the old machine going again: the
antl-COn:.llng faction seems to be Just now in
hopeless state of Indifference. As for the
democrats they are quite conteated and happy.
joan Kelly is the very embodiment of good
hunor-as yet. Unless new departure is taken,
however. there will be an uprOar in the camp
before long. 1t is as natural for democrats in
this city to quarrel as a fight to take place at
the Denny brook fair.
VICTIM TO A COMPLEXION.
Attention has been called to the danger of
making compilations by the death. the other
day. of Cassie Troy, the actress. VIII it have
any effect. after the first shiver is over? That
is very doubtful. This last victim was an
actress. but women are to be seen on Broadway

them as dead looking as piece OF wood. This
blindness cannot be accounted for by a man. 1t
Is ptiab!e. You may also see arsenical beauties
iii BrOadWay-nOt many of them, however as
the clear white complexion that is obtained by
hypodermic injections of morphia is not as fash
lOnable now as one that mingles the warm color
of the rose with the delicate white of the lily
rs arsenic taken i'm large enough quantities to
make the complexion clear also tends to produce
certain kind of obesity it will be out of favor
as long as it is the ambition of every
woman to be thin and wasp-waistes
But it is as hard to find woman
who does not paint her face before going out as
1t was for DiO9ones to find all honest man. The
practice is not confined to women of any class:
the woman of fashion makes her complexion: so
does the shOp-girl. But there is a variation in
the results Women who visit the shops in the
morning in BrOugham and ride out i'm the
afternoon In carriage copy nature closely and
succeed in producing an artistic effect The
acme of the art in painting is using as small an
amount as possible and in getting the red paint
on at the right spot. To do this requires some
physiological knowledge and care and skill in
the application. But even this indulgence i'm
artificial bloom has to be made up to nature i'm
the end. Every year more paint is required to
produce the same effect. But most women do
not know how to use their paint-boX. and the
result is that they make horrible e1figies of
themselves. All physicians condemn the prac-
tice: but remonstrance is useless. You might as
we'll ask the creatures to give up making them
selves wasted
