Wearing Mach. for the Complexion.

A thousand women sleep masked every
night in this city That is an estimate,
but it is based on facts that make it en-
tirely trustworthy. In one street givei
over to retail trade in women's decora-
ton, from the harmless necessary calico
to the vain superfluous satin, from essen
tial coverings of feet with shoes to over
LAYING OF faces with cosmetics, there
hangs sign board which tells that masks
are sold upstairs. On entering / found
that q traffic was actually going
on. The article of humbug was q
pliable mask, seemingly Of cloth i'm
pregnated with an oily unguent, and
meant TO be worn on the face during bed
times, with the expectation that it would
improve the complexion. The false visage
was in great variety Of features and
sizes, so that any woman could get snug
fit. the idea being that the skin of the en-
tire face should come into close contact
with the supposed medicament.
The probability Is that such sweating
Of the skin really produces softness and
smoothness, though exposure might easily
chap the tender surface, and thereby spoil
the gain. / learned to a certainty that
about !. 100 masks had been sold within a
week, and II is fair TO believe that, with so
many distributed, at least 1000 women are
nightly using them.-New York Cor. Chi

John Sherman's speech In advocacy OF
the senate's perfect right to anything on
the executive files relating to this subject
[Eustis's resolution demanding Information
from the treasury Department. or to execu-
tive appointments, suspensions, or re
movals" was magnificent and unanswerable.
Take this sample of it:
II think we have right to seek Information
of any department Of the government. whether
the information be on paper or by parole. do
not think there is any doubt OF il whatever, But
for that we could not iegislate-we could not
even by executive session. have just AS much
right TO go to any department and ask for any
papers affecting that department, Affecting
legislative business, IL | go there armed with
the treasury or any department OF the govern
ment, or as the President OF the United States
That has always from the foundation o; the
government been the established law. Anytn-
formation that may affect the judgment or
conduct OF a senator on any subject OF public
duty Is Information that the president is
bound Co communicate. There ought 70 be no
1t Is a government of the people There Is no
rule or provision for Keeping secrets. We have
no right to say to another department of the
government, For what reason did you do this
thlngG The president has no right to come TO
Us and say, Why did you pass this law He
has no right to cross-examine US. The depart
ments are separate and distinct But all the
partment is just as much the property OF
senator as anybody else. There is no secret in
this government that can be protected from
legislative supervision"

Dream of the New OrIeanafse.

In spite of the decadence of much Of the
old-time glory Of New Orleans it is still
beautiful city. There never was more
huoyant, hopeful, and plucky people than
the New 0rlesnaise. He believes in his
city and her future. Nothing can shake
his faith in her ultimate destiny, and no
encouragement, such as idle wharyes,
empty ships, or diverted trade, can dis
turb his equanimity, or blind his hope.
The dream of the New Orleanaise is that
his city shall be the great mercantile en-
trepot for Mexico, Central America, and
the Brazils. He is not exactly clear how
this is to be brought abont, though he is
quite certain it will be just as soon as
Eads's Tehuantepec ship railway shall be
completed and new life put into American
shipping. They believe in Eads down
here, and his ship railway scheme is dear
70 their hearts.-Cor. Chicago Herald.

Horace Greeley had his gloomy hours,
his seasons of dependency as well as his
cheerful ones He had his ups and downs,
md the distance between the two ex-
remes was immeasurable. When in al
unhappy mood he was simply wretched,
an object of real pity. The revolution in
his feelings after the battle of Bull Run
was such as to send him TO his couch sick,
where he remained several weeks, threat
ened with softening Of the brain. The at
tack which ultimately carried him of was
similar in kind, but of more violent type,
while his physical system, from long
watching at the bedside Of his dying wife,
had become so impaired that he sank

A substitute for Gum Arabic.

Gum mesquite is an article compara-
lively unknown, but its qualities are
such that it is destined to become a com
mercial article of some Importance. Gum
mesquite is a product resembling gum
arabic, which exudes during the summer
months from the stem and branches of
prosopis julihora, a thorny tree or shrub
growing in some parts Of Texas, Mexico
and neighboring regions.
In paper presented to the Philadel-
phia College of Pharmacy on the subject
it was stated that the gum is applicable
to all purposes like gum arabic, though
the darker grades may not meet with
much favor, 1t answers not only as well
IN medicine as a substitute, but can be
used to advantage, as its solution can be
combined with basic lead acetate and
with ferric salts without being precipi-
tated. II is assorted into four grades, ac-
cording to color, and is supposed TO be
commonly mixed with a gum obtained
from acacia albicans, in combination
with a reagent, which changes the color
of both gums.-Ofl, Paint and Drug Re-

Yellow Color Cor Marble.

By means of a simple chemical process
beautiful coloring Of yellow is now
given TO marble without any injurious
effect upon the polish or hardness of the
stone. Neutral chloride of iron is for this
purpose dissolved in 80 per cent. Of slco-
hol, and after gently heating the marble
to be colored, the solution in question Is
applied by means of brush, sprinkler,
or by pouring, the strength of the solution,
being, of couIse, proportioned to the
depth Of the color desired. and care being
requisite in regard TO the degree of tenn

General Winfield Scott Hancock was one
Of the grandest soldiers of the Union and
one of the finest specimens of the Ameri-
can gentleman known in these modern days.
There was never any doubt about Hancock's
l6yalty to his country as a soldier and never
any shadow of suspicion on his honor as a
man He was a cheudIier sdns pear e
sans reproche. He was the pride of the
army and the beloved of the people He
performed distinguished and invaluable ser
vices to the republic, and his name goes
into history as one Of its foremost and most
famous leaders of men. The whole nation
mOurns his untimely taking-off.

to produce plant that will yield wheat
kerral on a rye stalk, and that will grow
on lands that have been worn out for
wheat culture. A plant has already been
obtained that promises TO fulfill all these
requirements. The stalk closely resembles
rye and the kernel wheat, but the latter

quantities to ascertain its Touring quail
