Professional beauties were rapidly be-
coming disturbing influences in the best
conducted London circles To be the
rose, or to boast the presence of the rose,
in q brilliant company was one thing;
the display OF a multitude of buds, vyin9
in their ambitions with the mature and
perfect blossom, was another. The
spirit of burning, and in nearly every
instance, most unbecOming coquetry
was instilled into a number of breasts.
Society was agitated by the discussion
of rival claims till it grew sick of hear
ing about them. There was not youth
full, or a middle-aged, or elderly beau
who did not think it incumbent upon
himself to start some lady who had been
sufficiently unfortunate to attract his
favorable opinion in the professional
beauty line. This, it was felt, was going
why individual cavaliers might not have
their preferences, but there was every
reason why they should not ask society
to endorse their choice. If Paris had
been only one of multitude of con-
noissers in feminine beauty, the apple
which he gave to Venus would not have
been so bitterly grudged by the brace
of neglected goddesses. The system Of
professional beautydom was, in fact,
found to be incompatible with the har-
monious working of the social machine.
Drawing rooms were split up into differ
ent camps. The gentlemen who plead
ed the claims to pre-eminence Of the
particular lady they had honored with
fhas, ntoy
much nuisances as, according to the re-
frain of Bon Gaultier's ballad, the man
who lost his heart a short time ago.
Moreover, the absurdity of the whole
thing was patent. The professional
beauty was only one star in galaxy,
and not necessarily the brightest. Her
own vanity might be gratlfied at the Sc
lection, but not more than was the vani-
ty of the cavalier who selected her. The
boredom which this condition of things
resulted in provoked wholesome reac-
ton. Mothers and fathers, husbands
and lovers, began seriously to reflect on
what would be the general consequences
of the system if it was indefinitely de-
veloped. The names of a score of pro-
fessional beauties were so habitually on
peoples lips, their photographs were so
aggressively conspicuous in shOp-win-
dows, that society wearied of hear
ing of them. 1t also began to be
little apprehensive as to the consequent
ces. 1t received some highly practical
admonitions in the revelations of the law
courts, and it came to the conclusion
that on the whole, both in the way of
enjoyment and of credit, it had more to
lose than to gain by perpetuating the
regime. This conviction reached its cli-
max during the London season of last
year, and for this fact, if for no other,
we may well be grateful to 1Ss1.-Lon-
don World.

He Fell q Third Of q Mile.

Last Wednesday there occurred on
Slate Mountain, near Ashcroft, one Of
those accidents that make men realize
how terrible are the perils that environ
the pathway of the fortune-hunter in
these great mountains. A young man
named j. M. Fern, who has been pros
pecting and contracting around Ash
croft for some time past, had, in connec-
ton with another man, a contract to run
in a tunnel on a claim very near the
summit of Slate Mountain. The claim
is known as the Shamokin lode. They
had nearly completed the contract, and
Fern was making his preparations to get
out of the country for the winter. The
trail leading from the cabin occupied by
the two contractors to the claim winds
its sinuous and perilous way along the
steep slope of Slate Mountain, frequently
zigzaging to avoid the lodges and ease
the grade.
But there is one place far up toward
the summit where the slope is almost
perpendicular for quite distance, and
under the best conditions travel at that
SPOT is very perilous. The trail, about
eighteen inches wide, is cut out of the
IuOuutStlu Siuc, dlU IL WOulu Ludkc u
tenderfOOt's hair stand on end to look
down. There has been crust of snow
several inches thick on and near the
summit of Slate Mountain for a week or
more past, and the cold nights has frozen
this snow where it has been pressed
down along the trail until it is as slip
perry as glass.
Last Wednesday morning Fern and
his partner were proceeding along the
trail to the ShamOkin lode, and at the
precipitous spot referred to Fern missed
his footing. The misstep carried his
body off the trail, and in an instant the
doomed miner was whirlinS down the
snowy slope, wildly grasping at the air,
and attempting in vain to secure some
foothold on the frozen ground. His ter
ror-stricken partner, utterly unable to
render him any assistance, stood gazing
at the terrible sight with emotions, past
description. Down, down the poor fell
low went, and when his bruised and
bloody frame reached the bottom, it was
1900 feet from where it started, and
bore but little resemblance of its original
sef.-Leaduille Democrat.

Painted Men.

At the Grosvenor Gallery I observed q
young man with unmistakable rouge up
on his cheeks. am told that the fash
ion of making up the complexion is by
no means unknown among our gilded
youth. While young women initiate
men in the masculinity of their attire,
empty-headed young men perhaps deem
it advisable to endeavor to maintain the
true balance of things by making their
faces resemble those of girls. 1t is a
noble and knightly enterprise, chivalric,
and worthy of all praise!-London Truth.

Twenty years ago the exports of Pc
can nuts from Indianola, Texas, were
reported at 800, Zoo; now it is estimated.
that the amount annually gathered ex-
ceeds 100000 in value. No care,-
however, has been taken of the trees; in
fact, in many localities, trees from fifty
to 100 years old have been cut down to
secure the nuts. With proper care of
these trees and systematic gathering of
the crop, it is believed that $40, 900, 900
could be annually realized.
