FIVE POINTS OF BEAUTY.

One Of the. largest fortunes ever realized In
America was made by the owner of an old,
fashioned crimpiug-pin which lady had
patented in Washington. The woman who
can invent material which will closely re.
semble the skin of the head win find millions
awaiting herl Nature generally understands
what is best when she gives brunette black
hair, and enlivens very white skin with
red locks, but in foreheads she really does
seem to make mistakes, and by the judicious
arrangement of hair n homely face can often
be made pretty. The French speak of the
"five points of beauty" When the hair Is
combed straight back from the face and
grows in point on the forehead they draw
in to two other points in the center of the
TEMPLES, and 80 still two others close TO the
oars, and contend that SO embellished no
woman, no matter how homsly her features
may be, can fail to be attractive. Be this
as il may, many woman owes her reputa-
ton as beauty to her couture. A young
lady in Washington, who was by no means
a remarkable beauty. came out of fever
with perfectly bald head. Her hair did
not ard would not grow. So finally she
ordered from Paris, three or four wigs of
beautiful red gold, and these actually trans
formed her from fright into belle. The
same thing may be observed on the stage,
where an ordinary woman captures whole
parquetts with blonde wig.-N. Y

NORWEGIAN sNowsHoRs.

This snowshoe is a long piece of soft
wood, seven or eight feet long, though
sometimes more, and about four inches
wide, and curved up ct the front end by
steaming. In the center is the place for the
loot, made generally of two pieces of leather,
one tackled to each side of the shoe and laced
together over it in the same manner as
common shoe is laced A few inches back
of the leather piece of wood about an inch
square is nailed transversely across the shoe
to keep the heel from slipping forward A
long pole is used as support and guide,
especially in sliding down hill. The shoes
are, of course, smooth, especially on the
bottom or sole, and are often CREASED with
tallow to make them slide more easily.
Now for the use of the shoes.
They are laid on the ground side by side,
and the snowshoer steps upon them, slip
ping his toes into the feathers, and then,
without raising his feet, except slightly at
the heel, he slides one foot forward, then
the other. much as in walking. It is rather
peculiar motion, and when seen for the
first time has rather an unearthly look. Tho
depth to which the shoes sink IN the snow
varies of course, with it's lghtness Ii q
very light snow they may sink several
inches, and with crust on the snow they
will not sink at oil. The speed which may
be attained is something wonderful, and by
the time one reaches the bottom of the hill,
II he is so fortunate, and does not stop on
the way to rest, he feels as If he was flying.
1t is not always ones good fortune to reach
the bottom especially If he is "tender-
foot" but, tripping in some way or losing
your balance, you pitch headlong into the
snow, while your snowshoes continue their
course to the bottom, often taking very dif-
ferent routes. That is the most aggravating
part of the business, sitting on the side of a
hill and watching your snowshoes making
for the bottom at 2:40 rate or better

MEN UNDER THE RAZOR.

OF all the types seen in BARRIERS shops
probably the man in hurry is the most
multitudinous, He tears open the door,
glares wildly around the room at the COM
iortably filed chairs mutters gentle inn
precation, and, with despairing look, fires
himself out into the street again. Or, if he
is not in quite so much of hurry, he hasti-
ly examines the stage at which each patron
has arrived in the tonsorial process COM
pares his time with his plans, asks when his
turn will come as il he didn't know that
would be as soon as the chair was empty,
and finally, after fidgeting around and max
ing everybody miserable, he leaves the shop
just before "nexti' is called. The thin
skinned man il tender little body and
wants the barber to be "0i SO careful"
and to play lightly over his cuticls or he
may break through. And the barber selects
delicate weapon, goes only once over"
his victim, and when he swabs him with Q
towel drenched in bay rum, the thin-skinned
man starts and shrinks like one who is dosed
with strong hair tonic on shampooed
Icalp. The Man. with-a- Tough Skin rarely
ieigns to reply to the inquiry: "Does the
razor suit your" He wants to be shaved as
close as Shylock, Fright up to the roots,r
and his stubby beard yields slowly to the
best steel and with disastrous effect upon ts
edge. He is dreaded by the most artistic
shavers, but he does not belong to small
contingent and has to be put up with. The
bald-headed man does not cost an establish
ment much for hair oil, but the muscular
energy expended in making the top of his
Uranium shine like billiard-ball takes of
all the profits. The highest degree of pol.
ish is attained by rotary motion of the
hight hand wrapped in towel while the left
hand holds the victim steady. Going asleep
In the BARRIERS chair is the fayorite habit of
spoplectic individuals who are not afraid of
losing flesh or blood while the tonsorial
artists scrape off their faces. They will nod
until there is imminent danger of casual
ear disappearing in their blissful ignorance
Of their environment, and yet the papers
have not recently reported any cases of fat
men getting their throats cut in respectable
BARRIERS shops. There may have been such
cases that have escaped the vigilance of the
reporters, but probably they were few in
number A special Providence seems to
wait on fat men in BARRIERS shops when
they sleepily shake their heads at the agile
razor as it plays around THEN expansive

And the prettiest thing In the world VIII be
The building OF the nest.
Weaving it well, so round and trim,
H0lloving It with care
Nothing too far away for him,
Nothing for her too fair
Hanging It safe on the topmost limb,
Their castle in the air.
An mother-bird, you'll have weary days
When the eggs are under your breast,
And shadow may darken the dancing rays
When this wee ones leave the nest;
But they'p find their wings in glad amaze
And God will see TO the rest.

When the apple blossoms blow;
Through the April simmer OF sun and rail-
Go flying TO and fire..
And sing TO our hearts as we watch again
Your fairy building grow.

THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF rRAmps.


"Give me the various species OF the
genus tramp" said a reporter of the Phil
adelphia Times to one of the nomads, who
replied: az should designate the species
somewhat thus First-to which belong
tho intelligent and honorable tramp; Sec
ond, the stupid but honest; third, the
shrewd and dishonest; fourth, the stupid
and dishonest; fifth, the indolent and timid,
and sixth, the indolent and vicious. Here
are six distinct species and IL you will not
interrupt me will endeavor to explain the
distinguishing characteristics of each one,
after understanding which you can say you
know what tramp is. The first species is
composed of men of fair natural abilities
which have been more or less cultivated.
From injustice, misfortune, acute suscepti-
bilities, keen appreciation of aud lively
sympathy with the beauty and simplicity Of
nature as eontrasted with the artifcialities
and falsehoods of city life, they imbibe q
detestation of large cities which makes it a
torture to live in them. 1 escape to the
country with an almost delirioas joy. The
tramp of the first species is also to some
extent Student OF mankind. That be Is q
misanthrope goes without saying. He de-
spises and detests the shams and receptions
| OF cities, and finds relief in contact with the
simplicity and guilelessness of the unso.
phisticated farmer. To secure this pleasure
he roams the country over. He has no money,
for he needs mono. To him railroads and
cars are not luxurious necessity, but an
abominable innovation, disturbing the peace.
full quiet and soaring the fair face Of
nature. Having nothing to gain he is never
in hurry, but tramps leisurely along the
highways. He learns the peculiarities Of
men, detects and dsspises their weaknesses
horrors and emulates their nobility"

AN UNUSUAL EnotsEERlNo FEAT.

At one time II was obvious that the Wash.
ington monument foundation needed to be
strengthened and Col. Casey addressed him
self to task which good many engineers
would have preferred not to undertake.
Going down below the foundation already
built he dug from under it all around core
of earth forty-four feet square, directly
under the center of the foundation and mon
ument; and the 71,500,000 pounds of
weight stood on this pillar of earth. The
new excavation was of depth OF thirteen
feet, and made cellar under the foundation
1875 feet square. This was filled with solid
masonry, except where the core of earth
stood, which was not removed. Then the
sides Of the old foundation above were torn
down for considerable distance under the
walls Of the shaft, rebuilt of better materials,
and spread ont further over the new base
below, thus distributing the pressure over
much larger area. So, instead ofa founda-
ton only so feet square, that is, extending
only 12a feet beyond each of the four faces.
there is now foundation 1926 feet square
extending So feet beyond each face, and
running ID feet deeper. A good many en-
gineers have come at different times to visit
the monument and inspect this Interesting
work. One of them looked at II a long time
without saying anything. Then he remark
ed quietly, "Well, that's easy enough to do,
but l don't know one engineer in thousand
who would want to try it. The result
proves how well the work has been done.
Since the laying of stone was renewed 2s, 800
tons of stone have been added to the pile.
and the settlement OF the shaft due to this
load has been just one and quarter inches.
The settlement is 30 even that the greatest
variation in the sinking of the four corners
Is difference of four-one- hundredths of an
inch between the southwest and northeast
corners. The other two have settled exactly
alike, even to the hundreth part of an inch
Tho total pressure now borne by the bed OF
foundation is 1871 tons, or ninety-two per
cent. of the whole pressure that will be
placed upon it, Washington Correspond

MANUFACTURES OF CANES.

fats of New Jersey whole families support
themselves by gathering nanuebtrry sticks,
which they gather in the swamps, straigbten
with an old wise, steam over an old kettle,
and perhaps scrape down or white into
size. These are packed in large bundles to
New York city aud sold to the cane factor

to go through process of Strengthening by
mechanical means, which are mystery to
the uninitiated. They are buried in hot
sand until they become pliable. In front OF
the hemp Of hot sand in which the sticks are
feet long, fixed at an angle inclined to the
workman, and having two Or more notches
cut in the edge. When the stick has be-
come perfectly pliable the workman places
il on one Of the notches, and, bending it in
the opposite direction to which it is natural
ly bent, straightens it. Thus, sticks appar-
ontly crooked, bent, warped, and worthless
are by this simple process Strengthened but
the most curious part of the work is o5-
served in the formation of the curl for the
handles of canes which are not naturally sup
piled with hook or knob. The workman
places one end of the cane firmly in wise,
and pours continuous stream of fire from
gas pipe on the part which is to bent.
When sufficient heat has been applied, the
cane is pulled slowly and gradually round
until the hook is completely formed, and
then secured with string An additional
application of heat serves to bake and per
manently fix the curl. The under part q,
the handle is frequently charred by the &C
ton Of the gas, and this il rubbed dowr
with sandpaper until tina requisite degree Of
smoothnecs is attained.

ENGLISH LANDLoRDIsM.

Mr. Henry Labouchere says hope very
much, for the credit OF English landlordism,
that there Is some better explanation than
has yet been forthcoming of the extraordi-
nary story reported last week from Peamore,
in Devonshire. There is an estate there
which has been farmed by the present tom
ant for twenty-three years, and by his father
for similar period before him and Sir
Stafford Nortbcote's balliff, who has Just
been over the farm, reports that "he never
saw an estate in better condition of cult
vation." Meanwhile the tenant has received
six months notice to quit, the ground APP
parently being that he had presumed to
complain of the destruction of his crops by
O flock of forty peacocksi The unfortunate
man sold of his stock last week but it is
said that under the most favorable circnm-
stances he will leave at least goo in the
farm. 1t is not very surprising to hear that
the case has excited great indignation in
the locality" Certain landlords in the
Island Of Skye would appear to have quite
as remarkable methods of treating their ten
ants as their brethren in Ireland. A crofter
had been reduced to abject poverty by bad
seasons and other causes. lie was q peace
able man, who paid his rent, and had not
Joined in any agitation. A few months ago
he bought two carloads Of turnips, ostensi-
bly, for his COW. II subsequently, transpired,
however, that the unfortunate man had no
COW, and that he and his family were SUBJ
sisting entirely upon these turnips, and had
done so for several weeks. The fact came
to his landlords ears, and this high-minded
individual, expressing his horror and disgust
that any tenant of his should have the au-
aacity to be reduced to semi-starvation,
promptly gave him notice to quit If this
gentleman Is type Of the landowners In
Skye, the agitation in that island is scarcely
surprising.

ton county at Cailas, Levy Mitchell was ar
rested on a charge Of killing deer during
close time. Though il is not usual to do SO,
Mitchell was allowed to address the jury in
his own behalf. His speech showed the
natural eloquence of the red man. He
exhibited treaties from the general govern

Indian, in consideration of certain things,
the right to hunt and fish. There was not

AMpuTATIoN BECAUSE OF TIdHr SHOES. -
Drs. Keables and Carrow yesterday morn
ing amputated the foot of seventeen-year-
old boy, who lives down in the State. The
boy had worn tight shoes, which produced
abcesses, and these gradually eat up the
bones of the foot. The physicians attempt
ed to save the foot by extracting some of the
ZONES, but found that the disease had pene-
tra.ed SO far that the entire foot had to be
amputated. Delatoare Gazette.
