RISKS RUN FOR BEAUTY.
As 10 Fair Fools Who Use Arsenic Ia Make
the Complexion Clear.

1t is stated in the columns OF n medical
journal of recent publication that the use of
arsenic rs a cosmetic is attaining dangerous
popularity in fashionable circles both here
and abroad. There are mary woman who
consider good complexion one of the chief
desideatums life can offer, and ole to be
obtained at almost any cost. Ii is no secret
that the poison, when taken in specific doses
or quantities, has the eff oct of CLEARING the
skin and rendering it soft and exJuistely
transparent, but the after consequences of
Its prolonged use ought to be seriouply con-
sidered, for they are sufficiently weighty and
alarming to deter even the greatest asprant
after loveliness from tanpering with so
deadly beautifier. II is presumed that no
woman would be rash enough to deliberate.
ly swallow arsenic except under professional
supervision and it Is snid that some medi-
ctladvisers in this and other cities, at the re-
quest of their fair but foolish patients, give
arsenic unscrupulously in the form of pre-
sc.iptions, which the unsuspecting chemist
makes up, unconscious of the object for
which the dangerous mineral is administer
ed.
This is very lamentable declaration, yet
u il is true, as an outsposen but very sensi-
Bile physician of experience lately remarked,
"These fair fools will not only purify their
complexion, but they will eventually purify
the world by getting out of It, They will
soon lie forever Mt rest from all the vanities
of this world with countenance as white as
the most fastidious could possibly desire. ;

GEORGE WASHINGTON SMITH.

A well-known citizen of Detroit was walk
ing up Woodward avenue one day last week
when he saw an old colored man in advance
of him who frequently did chores in his
family. Wishing his services the gentleman
called to him in voice that demanded
attentions
George !"
There was no answer, and not the slight
est indication that the old darkey heard
him SO the gentleman called again
George Washington.'
Not glimmer of recognition the gentle
man knew he was right in the individual
and was quite sure of the nomenclature,
but he thought he would make another at
Tempt

The sold man turned quickly, grinning
With smile of recognition.
Yes. sab, that's me, sah."

A PEDESTRIANS CAREER.

Says the New York correspondent of the
New Orleans Times Dtn0crdt.' " 1t is only
four yenrs ago that wondered what would
become of a young man. He had no doubt
ON the subject. His future was to be all
notoriety and prosperity, according to his
own enthusiastic calculation. He was at
that moment the admired object of 5000
pairs of eyes, and his doinPs were being
telegraphed to the furthest ends of the
earth. He was successful pedestrian, ut
the close of one of the great foot races
which New Workers crowded to see in the
Madison Square Garden. He was next to
the winner of the contest, and so much
sightlier that to him was given the greater
share of the ovation. No hero had ever
received louder or wilder adulation. His
performance has indeed been wonderful,
and Mt its close he showed so little damage
that the admiration which he evoked was
iustifiable, though its manifestations were
ridiculously extravaganza. He was proud
and arrogant victor. Solicitous attendants
served him at every turn. His slightest
and most whimsical requirements were sat
isfied. The six days of physical strain
were SO nearly over that alcoholic stimu-
liant was permitted, but his exacting taste
would accept nothing but champagne, and
although this was probably the first week
in his life in which he had known mouth
full of the beverage, he was suddenly so
nice in his appetite that only particular
brand would do Being offered glass of
another kind, he dashed it angrily ON tn,
ground and cursed his trainer in language
more consonant with whiskey than wine
The fellows peculiar situation, in which a
freak of public diversion had placed him,
was what made me conjecture vaguely what
his future would be. 1t was certain that
his feat would set him up with capital of
about 200. What would he do with it.
or, rather, what would it do with him !?
Tho question was answered for me the other
day when l came across the wreck of him.
There was no aspect of heroism left. He
WAS ignobly sweeping the sidewalk in front
of groggery. Clearly he was broken
down drunkard. l learned on inquiry that
his money had lasted less than year,
gamblers getting the most of il, but enough
being spent in riotous living to spoil his
physique for further pedestrianis,n. Ho
hadn't sufficient amount or quality of In
tellect to intelligently manage his phsnom-
enal legs, and about the only conclusion
of mind of which he WAS capable was that,
having earned thousands of 6ollais in
week with his feet, he ought never again to
use his hands in humble toll at dollar
day."

A GREAT BUT HARMLESS NUISANCE

Next to the woman who says, / told you
you had calculated it wouldn't, and who to
the best of your remembrance and belief,
never told you anything of the sort-next
to this creature, the greatest nuisance in the
world is the amiable and well meaning bore
who is everlastingly criticising his young
ers, and telling them what he did when
he was their age.n To Judge by his account
he was the rival of Solomon in sagaeity,
and never in his life did anything but that
which was the wisest and most profitable
thing to be done under the circumstances
in spite of which fact he seldom seems to
have "got on well in the world, and
usually appears to have had fairly hard luck
ON the whole. A well known young man in
this city has had the fortune to possess
mentor of the quality above described, and
much has he suffered from his "reminiscences
of the days of his youth. The other day,
however, when objection had been raised to
some action of the young mans and the
philosopher essayed to point an instructive

the long suffering youth arose and said -
g Look here, now When you were my age
did you ever have a troublesome old man
come in and lecture you about what he used
to do3 Yes, of course You did. And did
you ever catch him by the collar--so---an
bang him up against the wall-thus and
drag him down stairs-like this-and pitch
him into the street-after this fashion
when You were his age?" mo" said the
bore, as he picked himself up and rubbed
his elbow, ~ never did" Well" said
the aroused and putting victim, there's
where you made one mistake in your life,
anyhow" and he went up stairs to resume
his labors in peace.-Boston journal.

The rising town of Rat Portage, Canada,
is involved in n peculiar complication. 1t
is claimed by two provinces, Manitoba and
Ontario, and as the officers of both are try
ing to exercise authority in the disputed ter
ritory, they make life unhappy for the
people Of that helpless town. Wednesday
a liquor seller was arrested for not having n
Manitoba license but the arresting officer
was himself arrested by the Ontario police.
Then stronger body of Ontario police came
up and again made the Manitobans surren-
der. This difficulty has been going on for
months but the Dominion Government does
nothing to settle it. They are not such q
happy or well-regulated family over the
border as they might be.
