be recognized by accepting the services or
any attendant who may present herself.
The initiated carry favOritism to the eX-
tent of waiting an hour sometimes for an
especial one, supposed to possess virtues
over the others of her trade. Skill has
much to do with this success but personal
magnetism has more. One likes to feel the
thrill that flashes through the frame from
the laying on of soft magnetic hands.
POLISHING THE TINTED SKIN.
The favorite attendant brings out the
private bottle Of alcohol for which madame
left her own French perfume to be added.
She fingers lovingly over her subject,
punctuating her gossip with extra slaps
that send the blood spinning livelier through
the weared flesh. The wife OF a promi-
nent leading man imports brown powder
of peculiar dangerous oder which is used
in the Paris baths. This is rubbed over her
body, giving 1t the polish that is seen on

A story iuated to me through the cur
tains of an adjoining dressing room about a
woman who was high in the favor of an at
tendant. The woman called yellow cab
and drove with friend block beyond the

cents as the price Of the drive. When he
clamored for his proper pay she ordered
him off and slammed the door of her house
in his face. The favorite attendant had
just been tipped 81 by this woman, whom
it were an insult to the class to call Be-
hemian, while the cabman in the rain got
a very little quarter.

Eccentricities of scotch CIergymen.


1 noticed last week that certain Scotch
minister had announced from the pulpit
that some members Of his congregation had
conspired to murder his wife. was pos
sibly mistaken in ascribing any Importance
to the episode, for il seems to be peculiar
ity of Scottish clergymen to make the most
astounding allegations and destinations
against each other and against the members
of their respective congregations without
meaning anything in particular. A short
time ago, for instance, the Rev. Mr.. Thorn
son, of St. Stephens, Edinburg, caused
some little excitement in the Free Presby-
terry of that city by suggesting that the Rev.
William Balfour ought to be shot for the
part he had taken in the Disestablishment
question. Yet, last week, the Rev. Thorn
son and the Rev. Baifour exchanged pulpitS
in the most effectionate manner possible,
the former gentleman officiating at Holy
rood Free Church and the latter at St
Stephens. [ have little doubt, therefore,
that the aforesaid minister and those mem
bers of his congregation whom he recently
accused of conspiring to murder his wife
will soon be exchanging fraternal greeting:
over glass OF toddy.

Early yesterday morning, when the
steamboat Charles Morgan was about OPP
posite Riverside, few miles below Gin
cinnati. a mighty interesting event Oc-
Cured ON board the boat. Wallace's cir
Gus was aboard, on its way to winter head
quarters at Peru, Ind, it being the inten-
ton TO ship from this city by rail.
Among the menagerie animals was a
widowed camel, a tall. fine-looking spec
linen of the species. At 4 o'clock
yesterday morning a fine young male
camel, weighing fOrty-five pounds
eight ounces, was born. The yOungster is
the very picture of its mother, bright and
gentle. It's size at birth was about that of
medium sheep. The hump is quite
prominent. The father of this posthumOus
child is said TO have been one or the finest
animals in captivity. He was of the Bactrian
species, having two humps, and much
scarcer than the common one-humped
dromedary. de was killed last spring by
an elephant, and, consequently, the little
one is an orphan. At its birth it was en-
tirely covered over with q light, glossy
skin, which gradually wore off, exposing a
covering of fine, long, curly hair. For the
present it is necessary to suckle it with
cows milk from a bottle. ''Dad' attends
to this, and keeps Charles Morgan-which
is the baptismal name of the kid-snugly
covered by warm blanket on bed OF
straw. Several thousand people came
aboard Yesterday to see how mother and
child were doing. ''0h, so like its mother!'
exclaimed one and all.

added meaning by the plump, pink shoulder
