ENJOYING Maidens' Mustaches and Killing
the Hair Bulbs by Electricity.

the Hair Bulbs by Electricity.
Louisville Courier-Journal.
1t was the face of a handsome bru-
nette just verging into wonanhood. On
her upper lip, and slightly shading its
scarlet hue, grew dark, silken mus
tache that on dude would have been
cherished and cultivated as the choicest
treasure on earth. Her head rested in a
metal plate connected by wire with a
galvanlc battery on the table. The doc
tor took up from the table, at his elbow,
something that looked like an ebony
pen staff. This also was connected with
the battery. In the end was a very fine
gold plated needle. The doctor looked
cautiously over the young lady's dainty
little mustache, and at length, singing
out hair, inserted the point of the nee
die down by the hair bulb and, pressing
little sprig in the handle, turned on
the current from the battery.
When the electric current ran down
the point of the little needle the young
lady WINGED and clenched her hands,
while the tears came to her eyes. This
lasted only for a moment, for as soon as
little froth appeared around the needle
it was removed and the hair dropped
out. After forcing out about dozen Of
the hairs on each side of the lip the doc.
tor stopped. The young lady removed
her head from the metal plate, wiped
her face with a scented pocket handker-
chief, and tripped gayly to the mirror.
She took long glance of intense sat-
isfaction and gleefully remarked that
they would soon be all gone. Then she
put on her hat and left, after having
made an appointment for another sit
ting.
$50 you remove mustaches from the
young ladies who are unfortunate enough
to have such hirsute adornments?" re-
marked the reporter. "Will you tell me
how it is done?"
"The operation is not very new" was
the reply. ut has been known and
practiced for several years, especially in
the east. Tho electric current decom-
poses the salt in the skin into acid, which
goes to the metal plate, and alkali, which
accumul ,tes around the needle, and de-
stroys the hair bulb, so that the hair
can never reappear.
This method is also very useful in re-
moving the ugly bristles that grow in
moles, for the hairs are then large in
size and few in number. 1t is only
necessary to spend q few seconds on
each hair, and but few minutes On q
dozen, after which rest of several days
Is taken to allow the inform alton to dis
appear before undertaking any more"

Brooklyn Eagle.
Only one president of the United
States (Tavlor) is buried at Washington.
And he was only president one year.
That explains it. After man lives in
Washington four years it becomes the
great, yearning, overmaster desire of his
life to be buried somewhere in Alaska.
Had President Taylor lived through his
full term he would now be sleeping
away out of the world somewhere in
Texas.

there is not vessel in the New York
Yacht Club that could have shown
her stern to the English yacht in to-
days gale, and the latter had exactly
the day for which her owners wished
and in which they claimed she could
do her best. It was the opinion of al
most every one who looked on at the
match that she would have sailed bet
ter without her topsail, for it was
begging ali the time. There was am
other yacht on the course without
reef in her sails, and the Puritan had
all that she wanted after her topsal
was taken in and topmast housed.
