Modern Trunk Handling.

L httoIu
Modern Improvement in the handling Of
trunks has to a large extent done away with
the trade of the fierce and muscular bag
gage srnaSher," whose vengeflIl and destruc-
tive skill has caused more female heartaches
than Cupid himself. Patent baggage carts,
baggage elevators and new tangled baggage
trucks, have SO lightened the labor of trans
portation that traveller no longer considers
it necessary to look out at every change to
see if his garments are safe in their places or
scattered over the platform or baggage car
floor.
box full of gold bricks could scarcely be
watched with more care than ii trunk is
looked after by the big railway companies in
these days of travel The destination of
every one of the 500 pieces of baggage
which goes out of the Broad street station,
Philadelphia, daily, is recorded in book,
and every time it changes cars receipt is
taken by the train baggage master and sent
back to the Philadelphia Office.
If, for instance. in a journey from Phila-
delpha to New Orleans the trunk changes
cars ten times, ten receipts, showing whose
bands it passed through and who delivered to
the passenger and received the check, are
taken and returned to the men who started it
on it's voyage A trunk which left Broad
street station year ago, can be traced by
the receipts here through all the routes aud
through whose hands it passed to its deStina
ton. Thus it happens that of the 3OO, go
sent out last wear not a single trunk was lost.
During the last few years some
curious discoveries have been made
in France, and various other parts of
the world, proving that trephining
the skull was quite eXtensivel and
often successfully, practiced by the
barbarous, ignorant and superstitious
men of the age of polished stone.
Prof. Broca finds that superstition led
to the operation, as it seems to have
been performed in cases of epilepsy or
insanity for the purpose of opening
way of escape for the confined demons
probably supposed by those rude
people of several thousand years ago
to be the cause of the disease. Con-
sidering the class of case, the des-
perate nature of the operation, and
the barbarous method of performing
it with sharpened flints, to say MOTH
ing of the after-consequences, DIR. II.
F. J. Blaker, an English surgeon, re-
marks that it is wonderful that any
one patient recovered yet DIR.
Prunieres claims to have twenty
skulls which were trephined during
life, and of which ninteen bear evil
dence of recovery from the operation.
A coating of peroxide of lead is
found by M. C. Widemann to give
cheap, perfect AMI durable insulation
to telegraph and telephone wires.

piece of string The lower part was ready
for cutting, and did it evenly to reach
three-quarters of an inch above my eye
brows. When that was done took piece
of muslin and tied the under bang down
close to my forehead. Then united the
string, let down the upper bang, and cut it
across straight to reach within three quarters
of an inch of tho edge Of the other. Now
my bang is what you call Montague bang
You see / let my bang grow quite long
and cut it down about my ears; then curl
it, with water, in Montagues and tie piece
of gauze about my FOREHEAD to keep them in

Heads win iu the Long Run.

Clara Belle in Cincinnati Enquirer.
But heads win, after all, in the line Of
female alutcr,ent; and now is my time to get
ahead of competitive fashion writers by tell
ing how our craniums are to be adorned in
the autumn. You may have heard it said
that man may wear shabby suit and still
look we'll dressed providing his hat is glossy.
The rule holds good with women. Many a
shop girl is cute enough to invest all of her
spare money in hats and bonnets, and thus is
attractive while going to and coming from
her work, though her garments are all the
while of the meanest. Women with consid-
cradle to spend on their toilets may wisely
take hint from this. A becoming hat will
not only redeem an otherwise commonplace
toilet, but, if aided by wise arrangement Of
the hair, turn plain person into more or
less attractive one The face is, after all,
only part of the head, and to a degree it may
be beautified by an adornment of the re
mainder Therefore, don't fall in love with
any of the new styles that I am going to
describe, unless you feel certain that it will
improve and not disfigure you. But bear in
mind that the combined outline of your
millinery and your head is what counts in tho
general effect

ColOrs for Rooms.
John W. Root in Inter Ocean.

In this closer study Of the decorative value
of pure color we are not apt to be led into gross
manifestations of it; on the contrary, we may
expect continually to meet with new and
subtle refnements, not only in the adjust
ment of co!ors in one room, but in the rela.
ton established between various rooms.
In the drawing room of a house, which is q
rendezvous for brilliant companies, warm
bluffs, crimson, pure gold, and all the colois
of brighter and more delicate quality, will lie
grouped The hall will be more obviously
and strongly painted in broad sweeps of red,
blues or warm browns, meeting the guest at
entering like the assuring pressure Of the hand
and hearty accents of welcome which the host
should give him.
In the library will be those effects least
calculated to distract the mind or create
mental unrest-the walls becoming a warm
yet unobtrusive background to the soberly
rich dresses of the hooks. The dining room
becomes soft and rich in color, yet with a
certain freshness and daintincss of tone like
an appetizing dish from some "cordon-bleu. y
Each one of these various rooms is also en-
HANGED in value by those which are seen with
it, the color of each being studied in relation
to the others as carefully as the colors of
each separate room.

Alaskan women.
st, Louis Globe Democrat.

The n,atrons of high fashion and the swell
damsels of the Thlnket tribes never make a
canoe voyage without smearing themselves
well with the black dye that they get from
certain wild root of the woods, or with a
pasta of SCOT and seal oil On sunny and
windy days on shore they protect themselves
from tan and sunburn by this same inky
coating. On feast days and the great occa-
sions, when they wash of the black, their
compilations come out as fair and creamy
white as the palest of their japanese cousins
across the water, and the women are then
seen to be some six shades lighter than the
tan-colored and coffee-colo~ ed lords of their
tribe. The specimen woman at juneau wore
q thin calico dress and thick. blue blanket.
Her feet were bear, but she was compensated
for that loss of gear by the turkey red para
sol that she poised over her head with all the
complacency of a Mount Desert belle. She
