TattoOed Checks Fashionable.

A Washington letter says: The fashion
able edict has gone forth that it is the
proper thing to look healthy and robust.
The day of the confirmed invalid, the
"delicate flower" and al that sort of
thing, is passed, and now our bellies are
striving to see who can look the hardest.
The daughter of distinguished naval
officer hos been one of the leaders of the
''healthy craze" and is now, for that
matter. Her plump, we'll rounded
figure and swinging gait can be seen on
Pennsylvania avenue nearly every after
noon, rain or shine, aud she has the
ruddiest pair of cheeks in Washington.
She looks the perfect picture of health,
but some of her sharp sisters have been
tracking up the secret of how her pale
complexion disappeared so suddenly. 1t
appears. so they say, that the young lady
called in the services of an old sailor
who had known her ever since she was u
'swee bit of a thing" and told him that
she was miserable because she never
could have any color in her face. She
asked him to tattoo her cheeks delicate
shade Of red. and although the operation
was quite painful, she stood it bravely,
and the consequence is that she will have
red face ever after death. 1t is said
that several society bellies contemplate
undergoing the same course of treatment.

Peruvian Women and Their Manta.

Those who have travelled everywhere,
say the women of Lima, Peru, are the
most beautiful in the world. There is
something about the climate Of a country
where the rain never falls, and where
decay is almost unknown, that gives
them briiliancy of complexion that
women of other lands do not possess.
Perhaps their national costume does
much to heighten their beauty, for any
woman, not positively ugly, would look
we'll in the embroidered ''manta" that
the ladies of Lima always wear. This
manta is shawl of black China crepe,
and lhe amount of silk embroidery upon
it indicates the wealth Of the wearer.
Some of them are extremely beautiful
and cost as much as $500. but ordinary
mantas, such as the ma iority wear, can
be bought for SIS or $40 in Peruvian
money, which is worth twenty-five per
cent. less than American gold. A very
common article of dyed cotton is i'm
ported from England at cost of So or
81 for the use Of the negro and Indian
women. But the manta is worn by every
woman, regardless of her rank or
wealth, whenever she appears in the
street. although in their homes, at the
opera. and when they 60 out to afternoon
receptions or evening balls the Partisan
styles are adopted, and the ladies dress
with great deal OF taste.
The manta is square in shape and
about two yards in size. 1t is folded so
as to he triangular, and the centre Of the
fold is placed upon the forehead, where
there is usually bit OF lace that hangs
down to lhe eyes. One end of the manta
hangs down the front of the dress as far
as the knees, while the other is thrown
around the shoulders and fastened at the
breast with an ornamental pin. Thus
only the face is shown usually. and when
a ma den or matron wishes to disguise
herself she draws the shawl up 80 as to
cover her mouth and nose, and permits
only her great black, rogui>h eyes to be
seen. And such eyes. Always large ::
age never seems to dim them. and no
gree of s=;f-disciplin" can rob them Of or
slbdue their coquctti h in>tincls.
The mania is usually drawn on closely
about the figure as to show its outlines
with the most conspicuous di*tinctne>s
and the women of Lima are as famous
for their beauty of form as their beauty
Of face. They are always slender, usually
short of stature, and as graceful as
sylphs. But they lose their beauty of
figure with maternity, and one seldom
finds q married woman more than thirty
or thirty-tivc years of age, if she is the
mother of children, who retains the
statuesque grace of maidenhood. They
ripen early, reach their prime at 1G OF
Il. and generally marry at that age. AT
q they are fat, hut they never lose the
glory of their eyes or complexion. Theil
stoutncss comes from lack of exercise
and the excessive use of sweetmcats, fol

Conductor W. S. Hackett telegraphed
yesterday morning to D. G.. Rhodes
that G. M. Cooper had been killed at
Granger and requesting him and Mr.. A.
Adamsky to start for that point in the
evening and take charge o. the body.
The particulars of the accident by which
he was killed could not up to a late hour
last night be learned, although it is more
than probable. as he was employed as a
brakeman on the road, that he came to
his death while in the performance of his
work.
The deceased was Sc years old, stout
built and always of a jovial and generous
disposition. The news of his death was
a shock to his friends, of which he has a
great many in this city. Mr.. Rhodes and
Mr.. Adamsky will probably arrive in this
city to morrow with the remains to be for
warded to the home of the deceased in
Middletown, Va.

Nowhere in the West, or in the East,
will be found a greater number of private
carriages and buggies, according to the
population, than in Cheyenne. The su-
perior style and finish of these vehicles is
a surprise to strangers who are ignorant of
the fact that this city has one Of the most
extensive carriage manufactures in the
country. The Cheyenne Carriage works,
corner Eighteenth and O'Neil streets,
have, under the superlntendency Of VIM.
Richardson, attained an enviable reputa
ton for strictly first class work. far superior
to any that is turned out elsewhere. And it
is well to remark right here that il is
necessary to have an extra grade of work
manship on all vehicles to be used
in this altitude. because of the dry
ness OF the atmosphere and the con-
sequent liability of the woodwork to shrink
and spoil. Our people have tried Eastern
work and they have learned from bitter
experience that it doesn't pay. There
fore they buy the best grade of carriages
manufactured right here, which are sold
with a guarantee of the manufacturers.
Superintendent Richardson, of the
Cheyenne Carriage works, uses nothing
but the best material of all kinds in the
manufacture of his vehicles, the best sea-
soned wood, the finest leather and steel

About | o'clock Wednesday morning, in
the southeast heavens, four stars were
observed twinkling very lively and show.
ing at different times several %colors, blue,
yellow and red predominating. They
were seen to act in this manner about
thirty seconds, when all four shot down
ward, leaving a long trail of fire behind
them. They were seen by the few who
CHANGED to be out at that time of night,
and were seen to disappear below the
horizon. 1t was surely a beautiful sight
and long to be remembered by those who
witnessed it.
