Nevertheless it is true and becoming
more so every day. You Americans are
of all people the least satisfied with
what nature has given you. You are
always trying to go one better than
nature, and instead of trying natural
means in the way of taking plenty of air
and muscular exercise, you substitute the
pad and corset"
= VIII you tell me the latest idea of
good figure from a dudes standpoint"
That depends great deal upon what
the dude wants.
If he wants finely-developed pair
of calves, l can supply him. II he lacks
breadth of chest, can furnish him with
as fine a chest as you could wish 70
see. Should the deficiency be in the
shoulders, can produce pair that Atlas
himself would envy. The process of pro
ducing these is very simple.

simply make cloth coats or pads which
answer the same purpose to the talloRs

.'To do this it is absolutely necessary
to have an accurate idea of the proper
tions of the customer, otherwise il
would lead 10 a very amusing con
fusion.
Once had customer who wanted
TO possess Il shapely pair of legs. The
original ones were sufficiently fall for all
practical purposes, but he wanted them
more full. l made some pads for the
thighs, calves and hips. They were
made Of fine chamois leather, and when
finished they were sewn into the trousers.
"The result was the gentleman walked
on Fifth avenue next morning with finely
shaped legs, but entirely out Of pro-
portion with other parts of his body"
g Do many people wear pads OF this
description"
'sQuite large number. Most gentle
men prefer to wear padded under gar.
ments; by this means they avoid the
bulky appearance which padded clothes
gives them. The cheapest outfit costs

Demand imperiously and persistently
any quality of character in which you
may be lacking, and you attract increase
of such quality. Demand more patience
or decision or judgment or courage or
hopefulness or exactness, and you will
increase in such qualities. These quail
ties are real elements. They belong to
the subtler and as yet unrecognized
chemistry Of nature.
The man discouraged, hopeless and
whining has unconsciously demanded
Encouragement and hopelessness. So
he gets it. This is his unconscious mem
tai training to evil. Mind is mag
netic, because it attracts to itself what
ever thought it fixes itself upon, or
whatever It opens itself to. Allow your
self to fear, and you open the door and
invite fear in; you then demand fear.
Set your mind on the thought of cour-
age, see yourself in mind or imagination
as courageous, and you become more
courageous. You demand courage -

A Hint COR OcuIiats.

Writing from Darjeeling to Nat ure,
the Hon. Ralph a bercrombie says: Three
scases have come under my personal OBJ
servation in which brown-skinned ma
tives, in very different parts of the
world, blacken their faces to protect
them from the intense light and heat.
The examples he gives are those of the
inhabitants of Morocco, as well as of
others along the north Of Africa, who
blacken themselves around the eyes to
avert opthalmia from the glare of hot
sand. The natives of Fiji do the same
and SO do the natives of the Silkim hills,
and it is only reasonable to suppose that
a practice of such wide diffusion. and
such striking similarity. is found useful,
that is, protective in the places anl un-
der the conditions contemplated

A Night with ais Frlendls.

The prince of Wales, it is said, always
reserves one night Of every week for in
formal, unreserved intercourse with his
chosen friends. This has been his habit
for years, and he never allows anything
to interfere with it when he is at home.
The particular night is usually passed at
the house of an intimate. who assemblies
on the occasion a number of bright,
pleasant persons in the princes wide cir
Gle, all of whom devote themselves to
the entertainment. Wales comes and
goes in a public cab; simple supper is
provided; he is treated like all the rest,
and the hours pass most agreeably with
puns, chaf, anecdotes. stories. and the
freest expression of mood and mind.
The prince declares that these uncon-
strained nights have prevented his break
ing down more than once from the OBJ
servance of regular routine and multi
plicity Of duties. London Letter.

Too many fathers make their boys
feel that they are of little or no ac-
count while they are boys. Lay q
responsibility on a boy, and be will

q boys seeking after knowledge as
mere idle curiosity: Don't ask
questions" is poor advice TO boys. If
you do not explain puzzling things
to them, you oblige them to make
many experiments before they find
out, and though experimental knowl-

Charlie No on Assaulted
an Unkf Jwn Party Whlle
Ac. ing Gallant.

Charlie Norton is certainly puzzled
over an incident which occurred Tues
day night, and the probability Is that
the mystery will never be solved.
About $50 p. M, while walking
west on Broadway, Charlie was &C
costed by young lady attired in a
light-celored dress, who inquired the
name Of the street on which she was
travelling. Charlie, with the grace OF
a dancing master, was imparting the
information, when he was struck by an
unknown party on the head with a
missile. a description of which ne could
not furnish the BAzoo. Quickly turn
ing around he struck apowerful blow,
which glanced his assailaut's cheek,
but sprained his own wrist. The
mysterious foe leaped over ID: ID
Smiths fence, on the corner OF Usage
and broadway, and Charlie at once
TUNED his attention to the young
lady, but, alas, she had vanished. Th'
Young man is described as being vel
built, nearly six feet in height, anC
wore light brown mustache. WheI
the young lady spoke to Charlie SIT
stepped into the shade of a large tre'
with noticeable promptness, and witt
alarming suddenness the attacking
party sprang from behind the sam
tree and struck Norton, whose injur

though painful, are not serious. ,

SOCIAL
And Dolls Reception Last Night
i'm the Gold Building.

The ladies of the Ohio Street Meth
dist church gave an unique enter
tainment last night in Colds block
which proved to be an immense sue
cess. The special features were:
A collection of dolls, numbering
1856, and arranged so that their beauty,
oddly, or grotesqueness showed to the
very best advantage. The dolls be-
longed to the children of the city, and
in MANY instances were attired in ex-
ouisite laces, satins and embroideries.
Some of the dolls were as large as Life,
others not over an inch in length.
There were also "coon" dolls as
natural as the genuine article. There
was also a masculine doll made to
represent President Cleveland, and a
doll in full bridal robes, who in the
natural idea of being opportune, rep
resented his bride as a matter OF
course. In one instance a doll be
longing to Mabel Ironton was attlred
in a dress worn by the little girls
papa in 184S. Another doll sat in a
chair eighty years Id, and was itself
thirty-six years old, wore a dress nifty,
six years old and belt one hundred
years old. The entire doll reception
was worth attending. In addition
"Mikado" department was added,
and many beautiful japanese article;
were displayed. This was un
der the immediate care Of
Miss Matte Kennedy in full
Japanese costume. Tables, on which
were served cakes, cream, ices, etc.
was presided over by Mesdames Nc
Laughlin, Hulland, j. w. Mills, A
A. Slack, DIR. Jones, Misses Phemi'
Highleyman, Annetla Jones and
number of others. The success of th'
affair warranted the ladies in continu
ing it over to-day and accordingly al
entertainment of ices and strawberrie
will begin for the children to-day at
O'clock. This evening, also, the door
will be open and Miss Helen CALI
will serve tea from the beautiful littl
Japanese teapot in her popular COS
tune of Katisha.

OVERS DEvELISH DEED.
An Inhuman Black Brute Shoots
at His Wife Twice and Makes
His Escape.

About 9 o'clock last night no little
excitement was created in Lincoln
vile by the report that AL Dyer, a
notorious colored rough, had attempt
ed to kill his wife. Investigation
proved that the coloredsfend had fired
two shots from a revolver, at his wife
while in close proximity to her, at the
residence of the latter, corner of
Usage and johnson streets, but not
withstanding the close range, neither
of the shots did any damage beyond
frightening the woman almost to
death. Parties who witnessed
the shooting, reported the
affair to Andy White, a .col-
ored deputy constable, who at
once proceeded to arrest the would-be
murderer. Dyer warned the officer
to keep away from him and the warn
ing, it seems; was promptly obeyed,
the black devil retreating across the
lprairie north of the city, making
good his escape.

SERIOUS SLIDES.
Marrow Escape of a Missouri Pa
cific Train from Going
Into a Ditch.
The Bridge at Paris, on the M,
*. & T., in a Very Shaky
- IL Condition. 10

The heavy rains of Tuesday night,
both north and east of here, resulted
rather disastrously to the main line of
the Missouri Pacific road, while the
NJ, K. TT. did not escape slight dam
age. The result was, nearly all the
trains were late yesterday, to the great
inconvenience of the travelling public.
Missouri Pacific train No. 3, due
here at $3.50 a. m, did not reach here
until after 8 p. M, and it is a miracle
that il arrived even then. Tuesday
evening the first and second sections
of No 3 pulled out of st. Louis, dur
ing a drenching rain. The first section,
in charge OF conductor Al. Marsh. ran
TO a point three miles east of Wash
ington, and about 10 o'clock p. m. a
huge landslide was encountered,
which, resulted in the train laying up
for the remainder of the night.
The second section, in charge OF
Conductor Frank Sargent, struck a
small landslide not far from Grays
Summit, but passed over safely, and
then ran to point few miles east OF
Washington, when a second slide was
encountered, necessitating stop un.
til morning. Investigation disclosed
that a short distance ahead of where
the train stopped there was a washonl
of neasly 200 feet, the track, roadbed
and all being gone, and had the train
struck this the result is fearful to con,
template, as large loss of life would
have been inevitable. As it was, nc
one was injured and the train was il
nowise damaged. A large force o.
men were promptly put to work, and
after tie noon hour the breaks were
repaired, and traffic, both freight ane
passenger, was resumed.
The trains that went east yesterday
morning. Nos. 6 and 2, ran to th'
point where the washouts had oc
Cured, and transfers were made, Con
ductors, Marsh and Knowlton return
ing to St. Louis, while Conductor
Sargent and Whitaker came through
to this city with their trains.
On the NJ, K. & T., the train from
the north, due at $50 a. m, failed t.
arrive until 1880 o'clock. 1t wa
then learned that train No. l54
which left here at ii p. m. TUESDAY
ran to Paris. where the bridge whleI
spans Salt river was found TO be un
safe and transfer was necessary
The bridge is being repaired, 1t az
pears, and false structure had bee
constructed. A large amount Q
driftwoed had resulted in the trestl
being partially carried away, thu
making the bridge proper unsafe. !
is thought the repairs will be ia
enough advanced to permit trains
cross by this evening, and until the
transfers will be in order.
