"MAKING UP."-The butterflies of fash
ion are far behind actors in the methods of
"making up," and in the artistic use OF
paint, rouge and powder. Occasionally we
see beautiful woman, gorgeously dressed,
sitting in her carriage, with crOSs-eyed
pug dog by her side, and a cast-steel coach
man on the box seat. What strikes us more
particularly is the lady's face. 1t is CHASTITY
white. deathly in its pallor. On each cheek
she wears a brilliant red blotch, and under
each eye is black line. Her eyelashes are
black as Egypt, while her hair is of shim-
mering gold. Such woman s"made up"
She has taken the utmost pains to make
herself look pretty, but the result is simply
hideous, and eXcites the laughter of clever
people who understand the mysteries OF
Stage "make up" The trouble with our
society beauty is that she does not realize
thata face made up for the stage is very
different thing from one made up for day
light. An actress makes her face very white
to neutralize the effect of the yellow gas
light. She draws black line under each
eye, because the foOtlightS shining up from
below destroy the shadow of her lower lash
es and make the eye look flat. So she makes
an artificial shadow with cosmetic, India
ink or burnt cork. The ladies in front of
the footlights study all this through the
opera-glasses and, not understanding the
difference between gaslight and sunlight,
they appear on the street the next morning
horribly made up. Ladies who are deter
mined to paint and powder and draw black
lines under their eyes should bear in mind
the fact that the light of the sun is a hun
dred times whittier and brighter than that of
the fOOtlightS, and moreover it does not
shine I'D from below.

MOUNT ETNA.-The mountain was in a
state of eruption on February 18th. Almost
sixty eruptiOns of Mount Etna are recorded,
the most notable within the last hundred
years being those of 1892, 1911, 1919 and 1882.
The first of these continued an entire year, the
streams of lava then being thirty feet deep.
During the last one mentioned, there open
ed on the sides Of the mountain many fam
ing mouths in the midst of tremendous
explosions and convulsions, prodigiOus dis
charges Of ashes, cinders and lava, which
overran miles of cultivated fields and threat
ened the town of Bron with ruin. The
river of lava was then twenty miles long,
over mile wide, and forty feet deep. The
lava which in 1869 overtOpped the walls of
Catania may still be seen cOiling over their
summit like frozen torrent. On that Oc-
casion much of the city and $4,000 of its
inhabitants were destroyed The earliest
eruption mentioned in history was 47G years
before the Christian era. Forty years later
vast volume of water is reported to have
rushed down the mountain side. 1t was
supposed to have come from the crater,
showing, apparently, the connection be-
tween the volcano and the sea. y great
eruption occurred in 1852, when mighty
clouds Of ash-grey dust were expelled, COW
ering the whole surrounding country. From
two new mouths on the eastern flank issued
torrents of lava, one moving toward Zat1ara-
ma, the other towards Clara. One stream
was two miles broad, in some places 110
feet deep, flowed 600 feet in an hour ordi-
narily, but when it approached abrupt cliffs
it dashed over like a fiery cascade.
An eruption occurred last year, beginning
on February %, which lasted until March
81, when it ceased. a few days afterwards
severe shock Of earthquake took place at
Riposto, and two slight shocks at Catania,
on the slope of the mountain. The summit
of Etna, being above the line Of vegetation,
presents, unless covered with snow, a mel
ancholy waste of lava, ashes, lapilli, and
scorip, from the centre Of which, in a
desolate plain, ascends the principal cone.
Around the base Of the mountain is Il pro-
ductive region of corn, olives, grapes and
The eruptions Of Etna are frequent and
imposing.
HUMAN BEASTS OF BURDEN.-At last the
problem Of our school days is solved says a
Mexican letter, and we have discovered
how Cortez accomplished the overland trans
portation of that historic fleet of ships, built
on the coast and borne over the mountains
to the lake of Mexico. Nearly all the labor
in this queer country is performed by man.
power, few carts or horses being employed.
We meet human beasts of burden carrying
wardrobes on their heads, pianos on their
backs, or huge blocks of building stone with
apparent ease. Mexican Indians who trans
port goods from the interior are so trained
that they will tire the strongest horse in
equal time and distance, carrying from 100
to $50 pounds upon their backs. 1t is an
actual fact that, after making long trip
thus heavily loaded, they fill their baskets
with stones on the return, their strained and
distorted muscles requiring the accustomed
burden.

NO SUCH THING AS CHANCE.
BY MAURICE BARRY.

Nv faith has taught me to believe
There's no such thing in life as chance;
And whether we rejoice or grleve,
It rises not from circumstance.
If happiness makes smooth my way,
Or trouble on my pathway fall,
I take them as they come and say
Gods will be done. He sends them all.
walk the busy, bustling street,
On no particular business bent,
And mid the crowd some friend meet,
This is not merely accident.
No idle chance my footsteps led,
For He who notes the sparrow fall
And counts the hair upon my head,
With loving care designed it all.
So in the rugged streets of life,
With all their busy, bustling throng,
Mid song Of love or cries of strife,
Some Joy or sorrow jogs along
And halls me when least expect,
think-when halting at their call
4 loving hand their ways direct,
This is not chance. God sends it all.

ABSENT MINDED.-In the South Carroll
ma conference they told the following of the
Rev. Mr.. Dunwody: "After his superan-
uation he lived at Cokesbury, and preached
in a church two or three miles in the coun-
try. a negro boy brought his horse on
Sunday morning and hitched him to a tree
in the yard, Doctor Dunwody took his sad
die on his shoulder, and his umbrella and
switch in his hand, and went to the tree
and saddled his horse and rode away to
church. One Sunday morning the boy was
tarly. The time coming for the aged min
lister to 60, he gathered his saddle, umbrel-
la and switch and going to the tree, his
horse not being there, he walked away to
the church, carrying his saddle. Going
horse, he hung his saddle; took his UNI
brella and switch into the church preached,
and coming out, took his saddle on his
shoulder and went home"

A special dispatch from Cleveland,
O., to the New York World, says:
ga movement is on foot throughout
Ohio to boycott Harper's Weekly by
republicans who are mad at the stand
taken by George William Curtis. This
movement is most noticeable on the
Western Reserve. At New Philadel-
phia a large club of subscribers have
discontinued and leading men Of the
town are circulating petitions promis-
ing not to purchase copies of either
Harper's Weekly, Puck or the New
York Times. Nearly every ~newsdealer
in Cleveland will lose money on this
weeks Harper. They expected a heavy
demand for it, but large numbers re-
main unsold." That's the way to do
it, gentlemen; bulldoze them back into
the ranks. The Harpers don't own the
Weekly, it belongs to the Western Re-
serve. 1t is all very we'll al long as
Nast puts beastly faces on Irishmen,
and Eugene Lawrence writes blood
curdling articles against Roman Cathol-
icism, but whenever the columns of the
paper tell the truth about James G..
Blaine and show that he ia not a tit
man to be president of the United States
then stamp it in the mud. That's right;
jump on it with both feet, gentlemen,
that will make the Harpers, Curtis and
Mast feel SO Kindly toward you. Stop
your paper andabuse it when you can't
agree with it; that will kill it, Of

Die lady. Our people have known her rs the
teacher of vocal music in the Baptist Female
College for the past two years. in which they

The New York state convention met
at Saratoga last Wednesday. Contrary
to the fond hopes of the republicans
complete harmony prevailed. Tammany
and the other city organizations came
to an amicable understanding as to their
delegations before the convention met
and avoided even the semblance of a
wrangle. in convention the following
resolution was unanimously adopted:
"Resolved, that the delegates to the
democratic national conventien, to be
appointed, are hereby instructed to en-
ter that convention as a unit, and vote
as a unit in accordance with the will
of the majority of the members thereof,
every delegate or alternate occupying
the place of a delegate to be bound by
this rule, and in case of the alb.
sence of both delegates aud al
ternates from any district the vacancy
to be filled by a vote of the majority of
the delegation" A resolution was
adopted commencing the deficient and
upright administration Of Gov. Cleve-
land" The district delegates were then
elected by the different districts, and
the delegates at-large by the conven-
tion, the latter being, Daniel Manning,
Ed. Cooper, Lester B. Faulkner and
Jno. C. Jacobs. The delegates are re-
ported to be three to one in favor of
Grover Cleveland for president.

Col. John It. Crisp what he thought OF
the nomination of Blaine. 81 just
think it a splendid nomination." he
answered enthusiastically. "In nomi-
mating Blaine the republican party re-
cognized the demand of the people for
him. Iregard him as the most thor
oughly representative candidate since
Henry Clay-more the peoples candi-
date than a party candidate" "Do
you think he will be elected2" "Of
course he will. He will carry every
state in the Union except Kentucky
and Arkansas. 1 couple them together
as mi state, because it takes two such
moss-back concerns as they are to make
one decent state" Yet, Kentucky pro-
daced a Clay; and that Clay never sue
ceeded in becoming president.

COUNTY q JUDGE.

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:-It was with
great satisfaction that l noticed in your last
Issue the announcement of Mr.. VIM. N. H.
Saunders of Dover Township as n candidate
for nomination for the Office of county Judge
for the eastern district of on T. county. This
office, as You know, is one of the most impor-
liant, if not the most important in the county.
Although we have heretofore been so fortu-
nate as to get the office of county Judge filled
with the right material, yet Oh account of Its
harassing and veXing duties,i 1t gets harder
and harder every election TO induce good and
suitable men TO accept 1t. The offer of Mr..
Saunders rellevas us of one cause of anxiety.
Mr.. Saunders has been a resident farmer of
the district for twenty-five years, is a clear
headed honest man in full sympathy with the
people, identical with them in interest and
sentiment, and Is all right on the bond ques-
ton. What more is needed.

THE w~ArERwoRKs AGAIN.

1t is no new thing for a waterworks
proposition to be submitted to a peO-
pie twice. Independence upon II side
of us, and Boonville upon the other,
have been through the experience, on
ly with more delay, trouble and ex-
pense than will accrue in our case.
The controversy owe the contract is
clearly set forth byboth sides to it IN this
issue of the Intelligencer. 1t is no
doubt better that it should have come
now than later. The objections have
all been met, and they r in process of
o%bliteratioR. The vote OF July l will
wipe them out.
1t is hardly necessary at this late day
for us to make arguments as to the
desirability of wsterworks. The vote
of the people, June 8, sll for, to 40
against the proposition, is a record of
what they thought of it. There are
80 few converts left to be made that we
may this time hope for an almost unsn-
imous vote.
We have already agreed with Mr..
Jones that we will have the water
works. We have put him to expense,
involved him in important and valuable
contracts, based upon our good faith,
and we cannot, in honor, leave him in
the lurch. Of this there can be no
fear; the only danger is, that knowing
the unanimity OF public sentiment it
may be difficult to get out a full vote.
Let every man who voted for the
proposition before see to it that he is
at the polls this time.
Let us show to the world that we arej
in earnest in desiring to advance th1
interests of our town, sand that small
obstacles only serve "a a stimulus.
