"Atall gatherings in the city the most
startling thing to one of the masculine
gender. said visitor to ST. Louis,
sis the appearance of the neither lip of
the bellies of ST. Louis. On four out of
five the indentations of their teeth are
perceptble, having callous spots not
unlike those on the hands of those en-
gagged in manual labor, and detracting
materially from the beauty of their
face and the llcxibiiity of the mouth. {"
On inquiry by 81. Louis reporter as
to the reason for this, OF one of the
young ladies with whom the gentle
man relating the incident was well ac-
quainted it was learned that ladies bit
their lips for the purpose OF causing the
crimson blood to rush forward as soon
as the pressure of the teeth was re-
moved, thereby giving the roseate hue
of their brunette sisters of southern
climes. Soon il becomes a permanent
habit and leaves unsightly indehtations
surrounded by n rim OF callous flesh,
and marring their appearance. In
taking trip on the Olive street line il
was observed that out of eleven lady
passengers seven c'biting their lips,
and all had the unsightly spots referred
to. If the process is continued for any
length of time the blood refuses to flow
as desired. leaving the lips as colorless
as the pallid cheek Of penci-cating

As 10 railroad progress in Mexico:
the New Orleans Times Democrat says.
''The English were twenty years in
building 263 miles Of railroad from
Vera Cruz to the capital. The Ameri-
cans have built $500 miles Of railroads,
on Mexican territory, within five years.
The Central Company alone has con
structed 1.400 miles at different points,
and the Mexican National about 800
miles. The subsidy granted the COM
panies viii average $1,000 in round
numbers per mile. 1t results than that
the present Administration has paid
these companies the enormous sum,
for 1900 miles Of road. u 80, 900. 900.
1t is probable that more than 1000
miles OF road have been built by Mexi-
can and other eompanies during the
same period, aud which enjoy the
same or even greater subsidies. 10 the
above sum must be- added S1l. 200. 900

ent to a housekeeper. Side-board
scarfs, 5 O'Clock table cloths, tides
which are constantly used on sofa or
easy chair, bureau sets splashers, all
these and more, afford a wide field for
this effective, yet easy, needlework.
For the doylies, fruits and nuts, or ta-
BILE furniture, such as knives and forks,
crossed spoons, teapot, a pitcher, q
cup and saucer, etc, are chiefly used.
Kate Greenaway pictures are wrought

One Of the latest novelties in lamp
shades is iced or cracked glass, which
was the invention of a Frenchman named
Bay. The peculiar cracked appear
ance is obtained by covering the sur
face of the sheet of glass with thick
coating of some coarse-gr aimed flux or
some more easily fusible glass, and
then subjecting it to the action of a
strong fire. As soon as the coating is
fused and the table red hot, it is with
drawn and rapidly subjected to cool
ing process, which at once separates
the layer of flux from the underlying
surface and leaves behind the evidence
OF its attachment to the same in regu-
lar outlines, scales, crystsl forms, etc.

which must be observed in their forma-

gowns, and become ordinary dresses or

A delicate tea-gown Of mastic surah
is fancifully trimmed with lace and
two-faced velvet and satin ribbon
These ribbons spring from the side of
the half-ttting waist, are carried tow
ard the back, passed through ribbon
rings, and allowed to fall in long loops
to the edge of the skirt. The blouse

stripes of mastic and scarlet, with lines
in black and gold, and below the bag
are three 1lounces, each trimmed with
4 gathered lace.

NJ the east end of Long Island, occur the follow
ing verses, solemnly addressed to "disobedien

And carry thee to the shades OF Death;
No pity III shee can / show,
Thou hast thy God offended so.
Thy sod and BODY I'll divide;
Thy body in the grave I'll hide
And thy dear Soul in hell must be
With devils to Eternity.
Thus ends the days of woful youth
Who won't obey, nor mind the truth;
Nor hearken to what preachers say
But do their parents disobey.
They in their youth shall go to hell
Under Eternal wrath do dwelll
And shall not live out half their days
For cleaving unto sinful ways"
