Stage Cosmetics


You enter without ringing, and turn to
the first door on the right. Here you
find a small room flied 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 today"
Glow do your cosmetics differ from
those used by the ladiesin society gener-
allyn" asked the interviewer for the Mail
and Express.
'rWhy, my cosmetics are pure and
composed of the choicest vegetable oils.
They are entirely free from animal
grease or vegetable poison. Indeed,
there is not lotion, powder or chalk,

eaten with safety. Psychologists fire.

fore they sell the poison in order to be
sure of results. I do the same. eat my
preparations, and If they make me sick
and can not get reliefI havea stomach

they do not affect me in the least, L know
they will not harm the skin, nor prove
injurious to health"
allow did you happen to commence
the manufacture Of cosmetics for stage
purpOses?"
ON a strange way, I went to school
and graduated. While at school 1 stud
led chemistry and had a decided love for
it. Circumstances caused me to become
an actress. After occupying years of my
life upon the stage without being a de-
cided success, / busted myself during that
period in experimenting with face pow
ders and lotions. I quit the stage just
about the time it was going to quit me,
and began to prepare for market harm
less vegetable powders, which soon had
a decided sale, but to professionals only.
I had seen the evil effects of certain min
eral preparations, and so I decided to
make the pure or none at all"
Have you succeeded"
81 think so. I sell to Fanny Daven-
port, to the Madison Square theater pro-
fessionals, to Miss Ada Rehan, to Lily
Langtry, Rhea, Modieska, Clara Morris,
and many others. They are very careful
not to get face powder or cream of any
kind that would be deleterious. Fanny
Davenport usually buys in large quaint
! ties. Now here is a drop chalk in cOlors.

A Curious Story OF a Cane.

DAWSON County lkeb.) Pioneer.
John Carlisle, of this precinct, We'd
nesday last received by express from
Bloomington, H., 8 CuriOusly-carved red
cedar cane, which has somewhat of a his
tory. During the war of the rebellion
Mr.. Carlisle was a member Of company
q, SD Illinois infantry. In 1854, while
his regiment was being moved by rail-
way, terrible accident occurred, the
cars being ditChed and many of the BOYS
killed and wounded. Among the latter
was Mr.. Carlisle, whose spine was severe
~ injured. He was taken TO the general
hospital at Mound City, on the Ohio
river, and the months he paused there,
unable to rise from his bed, he and q
comrade similarly afflicted carved out
the cane. Soon after it was completed 1t
was stolen and Mr.. Carlisle was removed
from the hospital. His comrade, how
ever one day discovered the cane in the
hands Of a stranger on the streets of
Mound City and Immediately took poss-
essiOn Of it, and after keeping IL a few
years deposited it with a G. A. r. Post of
Bloomington, where it was to be care
fully kept until the whereabouts Of Car
Isle could be discovered. He was final
ly found and, after tWenty-one years he
once more is in possession Of his cane.
The cane is about three feet long and
has two seTpents carved tWined around
1t for nearly its entire length. The
wood of which it is made is a portion of
a spar Of a gunbOat which piled on the
Western rivers during the rebellion.

Private Henry's Sweetheart.

There is living at ParkersbUrg, in this
State, says a Wheeling, West Virginia,
telegram, a young lady who has in her
possession a large number of letters
which are coveted by the war depart
ment at Washington, but she has so far
persistently refused to surrender them.
They are letters from the unfortunate
Private Henry, of the Greedy expedition.
One of them was written only a few
weeks before Henry was shot. He was
brought to the young lady by an agent
of the department. She was betrothed
to Henry, their acquaintance having
commenced in 1879 through the medium
of an advertisement for lady COrrespOn-
dents inserted by Henry In Cincinnati
paper. The girl was then but Is years
old. She is the daughter Of prominent
and Well-to-dO parents, who were kept
in ignorance Of her engagement to Hem
ny until his last visit to her while on his
way to join the Greedy expedition. In
one Of his letters Henry narrates past
experiences as a special correspondent
of the Chicago Times, and says he win
visit the Arctic regions, write q book
that viii make him rich and famous
and return, marry her, and settle down.

Columbus Star: Yesterday evening
Mrs. M. O'Bfalley came near being burned
to death. There was no light in the
room and she had taken a match to light
one. In walking across the room she
struck the stove, in which a brisk fire
was burning, with sufficient force to
knock it over. Falling she became en-
tangled with the stove and the Goals
came pouring down on her. She
screamed and Nike O'Malley came TO
her rescue. 1t was the work Of but a
moment, but In that moment she was
badly burned about the limbs and would
have burned to death had not MIR. O'Mal-

about the year 1885, I think. my
father sent TO Key West and Indian Key
some hives of stingless bees. Three were
sent to Indian Key, and when we were
there in 1889 and 1910 one hive still re-
NAMED. The other two in sWaruning
had steered for the mainland and were
lost Those at Key West had also dis
appeared. Their hives were simply logs.
Their cells were entirely unlike the
common bees, being an OctagOn about
half as large as an ordinary marble and
holding about q teaspOOnful of pure, clear
honey. This is as remember them. At
one time, when q flag of truce was flying,
the Indians reported to the officers sc
Fort Dallas that they had found q new
bee that did not sting. il is possible
that some Of our pioneers must have
found trees Of such honey aud yet been
afraid to make use of them from the en-
tirely different appearance of the comb
and honey, They are worth seeking for,
and If found viii but add another to the
strange and wonderful list of Florida
productions.

ing these to Florida a hive TO old Peale's
museum In New York. Pesle kept them,

If fanny of these PEGS yet remain in

much for the good Of Florida, they should

duced from their original habitat.

Making ones self Deaf at WIN.

London Lancet.
Some years ago, owing to illness and
long residence in the tropics, became
morbid, sensitive to noises of every kind,
and procured complete relief in the fol-
lowing way. I placed some spermacei
ointment in the center of a little square
of thin, limp cotton, brought the corners
together, tied them with thread, and in
serted one of the little plugs well into
each ear, and after little kneading and
gentle pressure found that I was abso-
lutely deaf to all ordinary noises, such as
the loud barking of dogs and the rumb-
ling of heavy carriages in the streets. A
couple of points must be carefully at
tended to. The ointment must not be
too soft, the quantity about the size Of
small pea, and the little bag must be
somewhat larger than its contents to al
low the plug to take the shape of the au-
ditOry canal. If the bag be too small or
its contents larger in size than q pea, it
cannot be inserted into the ear, and if
applied only to the Orifics il entirely
fails inits object. This little experiment
is easily tried, and a daily experience Of
over twelve months warrants me In say
ing that it viii be foundinvaluable in the
sick-rOOm.
