PRETTY PHILADELPHIA GIRLS.
Why Their Cheeks Are so Rosy and Why
They Are so Very Charming.
Philadelphia Letter.


me beautiful Philadelphia women,
from to 3 O'Clock each afterLUOn, can be
seen in vast numbers On the popular
Oughfare-Chestnu street. The COM
plexioT of the women here-I speak Of
those under 30-is as soft, clear and r0s-
cate as a child's. An intelligent physi-
clan here, cOnversing with me on the
subject, said the reason that Philadelphia
women were handsomer than the women
of other cities was from the fact that they
did less lacing.
Lacing, he said, congresses the liver,
so that its functions are deranged and the
bile, instead of legitimately aiding diges-
ton as it should, is thrown into the
venous circulation, producing the sallOw
complexion so common among our Amer
lean women. The female gymnasts and
equestriennes are noted for their fine,
clear complexion, which is attributable
to the fact that their profession precludes
lacing. Instead Of curing sallOwnes5 by
removing the cause, VIZ, skin-ftting cor
sets, they use sugar Of lead cosmetics, an
ingredient in nearly every face powder,
and in a few years the skin has been Per-
manently converted to color resembling
sOle-leather.
Again, the women here do more walk
ing than they do in almost any other city
on the continent. In this they resemble
the English women, who are noted the
world over for their beautiful complexion.
Not only this, but the exercise of walking
rounds the form, and we justly claim that
for contour Of face, complexion and figure
our women are uneXcelled.

\ MAN WHO LAUGHS ATLOCKs.
How Combination Safes Yield Up Their
Secrets TO an Expert.
s.Locks, Locks won't Keep bur.


''LOcks, Locks won't keep burglars out.
Why, 1 can open any kind Of lock that has
ever been invented, without key or CON-
binatiOn." The speaker was close
shaved, clean-cut, penetrating-lO
man. He stood in lOcksmith's shop on
Four and a Half street, dangling the dial
of a combination lock on the end of q bent
wire.
"They open If he looks at EN-" said
vo,- - who stood by interestedly examin-
ios the bits Of broken locks. old keys,
drills and odds and ends of wire. pTass
and steel which were scattered about the
shop. The sign in frr.snu of the door read
"Pracucal Loo -Usmith and Safe Opener"
10 lou make a practice Of breaking
upen safes" asked the StCT man.
II open safes when nobody else can,
replied the smith, giving the scribe keen
inauiring look which might have opened
him had he been a lock. THAT is, open
safes when the locks are out Of order or
the combinations lost. Sometimes man
will oil the lock Of his safe and it gets
gummed up so that the tumblers won't
work and he can't get it open. some men
are forgetful and lose their combination.
safes are sold at SherifFs sale sometimes
and, the owner being mad, won't give up
the combination. When anything Of that
kind happens JneI SEM lot me-.
ssDO you blow them Open@
ssNO. If the lock is broken so that it
won't work drill a little hole alongside
the dial and pick the lOcE with small
bit Of wire. If the lock is all right, only
the combination is lost, l 20 to work 10
find it and don't deface the safe at all. II
takes me from three seconds to six hours
to open a safe, according 70 the kind and
the method l employ"
But how can you ind the cOmbina-
ton: Does it not take long timer
s.By testing. AS to time, il depends up
on circumstances. If l know the man
who set the combination l can find it in a
very minutes. If / don't, it takes longer.
/ You see, l study the character Of the man,
/ and If 1 know him pretty well can strike

[ When a stranger comes to me to say be

LIE was supposed to be worth 100000,
II and he battered himself that when he
slept an hour later than usual in the morning
all the business Of the city waited for him TO
get out of bed. When a letter arrived few
days ago demanding his presence in the North
He knew just how broken up the city would
be, and he had his fears that nothing would
be done in the paving line, and that all build
ing would at once stop dead still.
However, the prominent citizen at length
decided to 90, and he got of quietly. Nobody
rushed out TO stop him and beg him to put of
his journey, and as far as he has since learned

great was his surprise to find the city still
here. 1t hadn't straYed or been stolen. The
City Hall hadn't tumbled down, and he
couldn't find grass growing in any of the
business streets. This was bad enough, but
as he walked up street he met friend who
called OUT

other, who was still more surprised to hear
that he had been absent, and added:

factr'
The prominent citizen reached home to find
everything running as smoothly and satisfac-
tOrily as when he left. 1t was a great shock
10 him, but the climax came when he was
called to the door to see an humble-lOoking
man. who said:
You know l was talking with you three or

Life in Stockholm,

CGFresDOudeRce Of the Boston Transcript.
Stockholm Is a wild and giddy town,
unfit for theological students and news
paper correspondents. 1t has cafes
enough to give one apiece to every inhabi-
tant, and each cafe has its own brass
band consequently the effect upon SUM-
day is as if one had dropped into circus
unawares. One Of the prettiest of the
pleasure resorts, and right In the heart OF
the city too, is the StrOm pGrterre. neat
ly kept little peninsula, which juts out
into the green waters of the SaltsjOn, and
affords beautiful view of the city. Here
| heard an orchestra which was unique
in its way. 1t numbered some 20 per-
formers, all of whom where small boys.
1t was interesting to see three feet of hui
mainly trying to play six feet OF bass nd
die. and to find the big drum towering
high above its performer. But they make
good music and would make the fortune
of any manager who should bring them
to America. 1 will give your read
ers an inventory of all the cafes
that l passed (some Of which
did not pass the first day OF my
stay in Stockholm. Suffice it to say that
at last found myself in the Djurgarten
at Hasselbackers. This dreadful name is
not Swedish tor a lookup. 1t IS the
pleasure park par excellence of Stock
holm. Seated in the open air, with beau-
tltul view spread out on every size, the
StOckholner can listen to excellent music
and drink his beer or coffee at the same
time. l only wish that any words OF
mine could impress the geniality, the re-
spectability, the sobriety of the picture
upon the American public. Here are en-
tire families sitting cOntentedly in the
pure fresh air, taking recreation in man
ner which all can afford and which will
brighten uD the entire week Of labor.
They have attended to their religious du-
ties in the morning; the afternoons given
TO this absolute rest. There is, of course,
no trace of intOxication, and none Of the
hurry and excitement of an American eX-
cursiOn. Stockholm is absolutely encir-
cled by beautiful suburbs. The approach
to most Of these is by water, and little
steam launches carry passengers in every
direction.
