A WRITER in the New York World
closes an article on the fashions as fol-
lows: "There is fresh fashion making
its way among Americans, both at home
and abroad, that is to be deplored-the
making up of the face and eyes. If all
one hears be true, not few of the Amer
ican guests at the Marlborough fete
gave an exhibition of this fashion, and
one has but to go to Newport, Long
Branch and other resorts to see that an
effort is being made to introduce the use
of paints and other cosmetiques more
freely than before for years"

Expelling Jews From Rus.i..


The London Times correspondent at st.
Petersburg, in a recent dispatch referring
to the expulsion from st. Petersburg of an
American Jew, III accordance with the law
forbidding Jews to live in that city, says
it is not likely that Russian officials have
been over-strict in such cases, in view of
the repeated protests by the British and
American governments in regard to the
treatment of Jews. The Jew who was ex-
PEELED declined to ask the Prefect as a
favor to allow him to remain until he had
transacted his business, as he could not
demand such treatment as right. The
correspondent adds that as the Jewish
difficulty is more of an economical than a
religious one, there is little prospect of the
removal of the prohibition against Jews
living in st. Petersburg and Moscow. The
thousands of Jews who do live in both
places either belong to the privileged class
or skillfully evade compliance with the
law.

hooks used in afixing tags to beef
shipped from the West. They are said
to be more dangerous in form than the
ordinary fish-hook. "This barbed wire, ;"
says the Ledger, "will have to be ruled
out of meat, just as the millers were OBJ

In Mexico nearly every one is a
smoker. The school children who have
done well in their studies are rewarded
by being allowed to smoke a cigar as
they stand OF sit at their lessons. The
schoolmaster is seldom without a cigar
in his mouth. In the law courts all per-
sons commonly enjoy their tobacco
freely, and even the accused in GRIM
lnal trial is not denied this indulgence,
but is allowed, if his cigarette goes out
in the heat of the argument, to light it
again by borrowing that of the officer
who stands at his side to guard him.
