Why Dakota is proud may be judged
from the annexed statement. 1t has
$500 miles Of railway, more than any
one of twenty states; 1000 school
houses, more than any New England
state except Massachusetts,, or any
Eastern state except New York and
Pennsylvania. In the number of post
offices it ranks above twenty-three
states and territories, and pays more
revenue to the Post-ofiice Department
than any one of thirty-two states, and
it has population as large as Nebras-
ka or Connecticut and nearly twice as

Stage Cosmetics.


You enter without ringing, and turn
to the first door on the right. Here
You find a small room filled with little
shelves. Boxes of diminutive proper
tions occupy the shelves. A woman
with short black hair and piercing
black eyes asks you: "What does your
face want to-dayP"
'How do your cosmetics differ from
those used by the ladies in society gem
erallyp" asked the interviewer for the
Mail and Express.
"Why. my cosmetics are pure and
composed Of the choicest vegetable
oils. They are entirely free from ami
NAL grease or vegetable poison. In
deed, there is not a lotion, powder or
chalk, that l manufacture but what
can be eaten with safety. Toxicolo-
gists frequently experiment with them
selves before they sell the poison in
order to be sure of the results. do
the same. I eat my preparations, and
if they make me sick and can not get
relief ! have stomach pump to come
to my final assistance. II they do not
affect me in the least, know they will
not harm the skin, nor prove injurious
to health"
''How did you happen to commence
the manufacture of cosmetics for stage
purposes?"
''ln strange way. l went to school
and graduated. While at school
studied chemistry and had decided
love for it. Circumstances caused me
to become an actress. After occupying
years of my life upon the stage without
being decided success, busted my.
self during that period in experiment.
ing with face powders and lotions. l
quit the stage just about the time it
was going to quit me, and began to
prepare for market harmless vegetable
powders, which soon had decided
sale, but to professionals only. l had
seen the evil effects of certain mineral
preparations, and SO decided to make
the pure or none at all"
''Have you succeededp'
II think so. sell to Fanny Daven-
port, to all the Madison Square theater
professionals, to Miss Ada Rehan. to
Lily Langtry, Rhea, Modjeska, Clara
Morris, and many others. They are
very careful not to get face powder or
cream OF any KIND that would De dele
terious. Fanny Davenport usually
buys in large quantities. Now here is
drop of chalk in colors. 1t is used
instead of paint, and is free from lead
and any poisonous mineral. In second
you can take lump of it and by few
rapid strokes have any complexion that
the colors in the rainbow reflect. Then
here is a camellia lotion, which can be
spread over the face and not close up the
pores of the skin. 1t is delightful and
harmless. 1t sells rapidly. am very
careful not to put vinegar in the To-
tions. 1t makes the face draw up and
quite spoils other effects"
''Do you have many customers out
side of actresses and actors?"
mo, not great many. People
think that queer kinds of paint are
used by actresses, but they are mis-
taken. Actresses want pure cosmetics,
and will 60 their length to get them.
When their faces get old the public
tires of them, so they always demand a
pure quality, which prepare myself. "

Among the plaques which infect An
glo-American steamers are race of
men who play the noble game of poker
from the Mersey to Sandy Hook and
from Sandy Hook to the Mersey. OF
course, if they played it in strict seclu-
sion they ought not to be molested.
Every human being had sacred and
indefeasible right, even before the
American Constitution was invented. to
waste his or her own time in his or her
own way. To question this would be
to famper with the foundations of ev-
erything. But the liberty which in
wolves compulsion of your neighbor is,
as great philosopher would have
said, of spurious or mixed kind, which
even the high priests of "individual-
ism" are not bound to encourage.
Poker may be the most exalted form of
intellectual exercise in which, with his
limited faculties, man is capable of in
dulging. To make life uncomfortable
for all who do not play poker is a kind
of missionary enterprise not part of the
inalienable birthright of every free
man whose proud boast to the tyrant
and the oppressor is that his home is in
the setting sun. We are well aware
that the axiom Every man may do az
he damn pleases" is dependent on the
condition that every man does not in
clude nigger or Mexican. But it
has never been held to exclude quiet
people who have taken (and paid for)
their passage from New York to Liver
pool. Such, however, seems to be the
construction tacitly placed upon 1t by
certain devotees OF poker worship who
patronize the steamers of a every fash
ionable English line' between those
two commercial centres. These gen.
tlemen, ii we may employ the word for
once in the sense given it by ''every
charlatan," establish themselves In the

Of their favorite game. "For day or
two." says the complainant previously
cited, "the outsider was allowed his
corner, but after that the mysterious
and occult worship Of poker admitted
Of no intruders. "Play or treat" was
the motto, and the only other course
was departure. The Saturday ReView.

therefore, supposing person weigh
ed $50 pounds, 63 pounds would be
muscle, 373 pounds would be skin and
fat, "a pounds would be bone, and 8
pounds would be brain.
III. More than half the weight of the
body is bone and muscle.
Nv. The amount of water in food is
very large. A beefsteak contains 75
per cent of water. In buying pound,
only one-fourth of that pound is dry
solid meat. Cabbages contain So to 80
per cent of their weight OF water, and
succulent fruits sometimes more than
80 per cent. Of substances most COM
monty eaten, rusks or biscu is are the
driest and watermelons the most watery
of foods.
V. When water is taken into the
system it assists without doubt in the
building up of new tissues, in the re-
pair OF old. According to this view it
is not merely diutent of fluids, it
does not simply play an inactive part
like lubricant of machinery, but is in
the truest sense food.
vi. Life cannot be maintained on
pure starch, sugar, or fat for long
time; on the other hand. purely meat
diet can maintain life indefinitely.
VII. Sugar cannot be made the basis
OF diet, but rice can, so that taking
complex foods, rice heads the list. OF
the three great foods on which, with
very little addition, million, of human
beings live-viz., rice, bread, and pota-
toes-rice is nearly all assimilnted, fine
wheaton bread being almost equal to
rice. while with potatoes there is near
ly 40 per cent of waste, o. substances
which pass away without being utiliz-
ed. So that in point of economy, and
considering the relative price of the
three, rice stand first. ADlrican Gro

Days Sacred to Mystic Rites.

The day Of all others sacred to mys.
tic rites was ever the eve of st. Agnes,
(Jan. 20.) when maidens tasted and
then watched for a signs. A passage in
the Office for st. Agnes's Day in the
Sarum Missal may have given rise to
this custom: "Hgc est virgo sapiens
guam Dominus vigiiantem INVENT"
and the Gospel is the Parable of the
Virgins. Ben Jonson alludes to the
custom:
ION sweet Saint Agnes's night
Please you with the promised sight,
Some OF husbands some Of lovers,
Which an empty dream discovers"
And n character In "Cupid's Whirligig"
Q6l6 says, II could find in my heart
to pray nine times to the moone and
fast three st. Agnes's Ewes, so. that l
might be sure to have him to my hus-
band" Aubrey gives two receipts to
the ladies for that eve which may still
be useful. Take row of pins and pull
out every one one after another, say
ing paternoster and sticking a pin in
your sleeve, and you will dream Of him
you shall marry. Again, you must

ColOring II Meerschaum.

The most common complaint is that
their meerschaums will not turn from
their natural yellowish-white color to
rich brown, even after the smokers
have smoked themselves into the color
of dried mummy in the effort. After
the artist has finished cutting the de-
sign and has shaped the bowl, the fin
ished bowl is boiled in wax. Whv in
wax? Because the wax penetrates the
pores for short distance beneath the
surface and serves to keep the coloring
matter in the pipe. The coloring mat
ter is the oil of tobacco, not nicotine,
as many enormously suppose, and it
sinks into the meerschaum, which is
simply very porous clay, and Is
stopped by the wax before it is driven
out at the outer surface by the heat
inside. If it were not for the wax the
coloring matter would pass out and get
rubbed oil and the pipe would never be
colored. A glazing of glass would do
as well as wax, but wax is the cheap
est material that has been found for the
purpose. Now when over-anXious
smokers try to hurry the process of
coloring the pipe, by smoking pipeful
after pipeful of tobacco, the wax is
driven out, leaving the pipe raw and
dry. The nearer to the top of the
bowl the wax is kept the finer it will
look when colored. The smoker should
take long, slow pulls at the pipe. and
after one pipeful is exhausted the pipe
should be laid down to cool off before
it is filed again. Cincinnati CONNER.

Diet and Food.

!. Foods are divided into /, water; 2,
meaty or albumenous substances; 3,
starches or carbohydrate; 4, fats: 5,
mineral matters: 6, accessory foods.
All of which have their representatives
in the body itself. A human body is so
'watery" that the corpse of man

dried, would come out shrivelcd mass
of about fifty pounds in weight; the
ineaty substances are represented by
