'will not some of the hairs grow

twill not some of the hairs grow again?''
 ''Yes, few. If the operator has skill and experience there will probably be growth of from five per cent. to ten per cent of the hair renewed. If a tyro performs the operation perhaps thirty or fifty per cent. will return. Then it will be only necessary to repeat the operation.
 ''Is the operation frequently per formed?"
 "Yes; as it becomes known it is more frequently called for, and the practice is on the increase.
 "Does it leave scar?"
 Mot unless the hair is coarse and deep-set. Then there will be marks that will not disappear under week, perhaps, and perhaps in few days. If the hairs are fine the electrolvsis will not cause more than a slight redness, which will disappear in few hours"
 The young lady who had been oper- ated upon seemed willing to have all of the hair removed in one sitting. About one-half had been taken of, or ''llfted out" as the doctor expressed it, before she rose from the chair, but the doctor said that he never permitted patient to sit for the operation longer than half an hour. So she reluctantly put on a thick veil to hide the half mustache which re- mained on her pretty face. Of course, she promised to return next day for the completion of the electrolysis, and of course she kept her promise. N r Sun.

Indians Becoming Civilized.

Until within a comparatively short time, among the Ind ans of the Six Nations on the reservation in Aliegany and Cattaraugus counties, New York, the habit has been to sew the body up in a blanket, not forgetting to place inside a generous supply of meat for food, wampum for ferriage over the Styx, and a bow and arrow for use in the happy hunting grounds. Bnt when Billy McBale, one of the favorite chiefs, died, with view of doing his memory espe- cial honor. the bucks bought coffin and inferred the remains in pale-face fash ion. Since then the aboriginal method of dispos ng of the bodies of the dead has well-nigh become obsolete, and now the wealthier Indians buy caskets and employ undertakers. It is q mistaken notion that the Western New York Indians have ever placed the bodies of the dead on elevated platforms, at least for many years past. The practice formerly was to scoop out a shallow grave and tumble the rema ms in, giving them scanty covering of earth, --gAs, ea0o Herald,

FASHIONABLE FURS.
What the Leaders of Fashion Will Wear
 During the Present Season.

What the Leaders of Fashion Will Wear During the Present Season.
 There is but little change to note in tIe fashion of furs. The most impor- tant this season is the introduction of a peler;ne, with long "stole" fronts, very much after the style of the cape with very long square ends worn over hun dred years age. This handsome gar ment will bt worn by a number of lead CTS of fashion, who have brought it among their list of garnered treasures from abroad. There is great style, how ever, in the brevity of the back which displays the t0urnure and the rich fabric of the dress, and the long ends which, upon stately figure, give an appear ance of unusual distinction. In other elegant garments for more general wear are surtouts, pelisses, Newmarkets and paletots long and luxurious. and in short wraps which display the skirts of hand some costumes, are models in visite jacket, dolman and peler ne shapes, the latter reaching the waist line only. Upon new pelerines very rich orna- mental clasps are seen, one at the throat, another few inches below it. The ascendancy of dark furs this season is only in keeping with the preference for deep-hued colOrs in every portion of street attire, which with women of re- fined and cultivated tastes has passed be- yond caprice of fashion, and reached a fixed principle. Gray and golden brown furs are about the only exception t, 1o 1l1eo 1;,,,,, and trimmings. Natural beaver, otter fur and blue fox maintain their ac- quired position, and will be even more fashionable th,s winter than ever be- fore. Sets of natural beaver-hat, cape and muff.-are still in great de- mand, but otter, by nature of its cost. is used mostly for bands and caps. The quality of silk plush has reached such degree of richness in effect that it can hardly be distinguished from sal skin, and its elegant appearance has had very much to do with reducing the widespread sale of fur. its really in expensive cost Compared with the price of seaD, added to its richness of effect in cloaks and as garniture, establish ing 1t as the only real rival to fur. Fur trimmings will be largely used this winter, the fashion even invading the ballroom and my lady's boudoir, where they certainly seem out of place. The plain gored skirts worn this season by many women have suggested the use of fur bands in narrow rows half way up the skirt and many will be thus finish ed. These narrower bands are an im- provement upon the one very deep shaggy band which for two winters past formed weighty, cumbersome and use less finish to the foot of the dress skirt N '. Post.

TIRED EYES.
How to AIlay the Uncomfortable Feeling
 Resulting From a Strain.

How to AIlay the Uncomfortable Feeling
 Resulting From a Strain.
 People speak about their eyes being tired, meaning that the retina, or seeing portion of the eye, is fatigued, but such is not the case, as the retina hardly ever gets tired. The fatigue is in the inner and outer muscles attached to the eye-ball and the muscle of accommoda- ton, which surrounds the lens of the eye. When a near object is to be looked at this muscle relaxes and allows the lens to thicken, increasing its re- fractive power. The inner and outer muscle are used in cover- ing the eye on the object to be looked at, the inner one being espe- cially used when a near object is looked at It is in the three muscles mentioned that the fatigue is felt, and relief is se- cured temporarily by closing the eyes or gazing at far-distant objects. The usual indication of strain is a redness of the rim of the eyelid, betokening congest- ed state of the inner surface, accom- panied with some pain. Sometimes this weariness indicates the need of glasses rightly adapted to the person, and in other cases the true remedy is to mas sage the eye and its surroundings as far as may be with the hand wet in cold water.

The Sk -iis .OelnS ts stretched state and are b. The dye is laid on with brush, and the shade IS always darker than the one de- sired, for the dripping and after treat ment tighten if at least one-quarter. The greatest care is taken to prevent any spots of dye from getting on the in- side of the skin, spot being a ser ous defect in a high-priced glove. After the skins have been allowed to drip for sev- eral hours they are taken to the drying room, the air of which is kept at a high temperature, usually by steam heat. It does not take long for the skins to dry out hard, stiff and rough. Before they can be used they are made soft and pliable again by lying for several days in damp saw-dust. Then they are placed on a machine worked by a screw, and by a continuous and gentle press ure stretched to the utmost. If there are any holes, rough spots or cracks in the skin, it is thrown away, or should be. Not all of the glove-makers are honest and the blemishes are often cov- cred up. This accounts for the sudden giving-out of many gloves.
 The delicate part of glove-making is the cutting. as the least variation in the lines will destroy the symmetry of the glove and make the fit imperfect. To get the parts to fit as well as possible, patterns are used for each size: but even with these mistakes are often made. In tirst-class factories where the skin isnot properly cut it is thrown away or cut up into gussets. Every skin is studied by the cutter, so as to make the great est number of gloves from it with the least waste, and it is so graded that the largest sizes are first marked out, and the rest is used for children's gloves. Modern invention has enabled the cut ter, when blocking out the glove, to make little holes in the skin for stitches. This insures perfect regularity and uni formity of stitching, which are of great importance. If the stitch is too tight an uneven pressure is put on the skln, which makes it break easily, and if too loose, it leaves bag in the glove. Linen and S lk thread are used, and the stitching is done by women who are fairly well paid When the gloves are made, they aae thoroughly inspected and, if accepted, are ted in bundles ready for the mar ket
 Why French gloves should take the lead is hard to tell. The same materials are used as in other countries and the workmen are not over expert; but the French glove excels in elasticity and ''gives" when pressure is put on it by inc hand, without getting out of shape This country takes the lead in dogskin, buckskin and doeskin gloves. These names are misleading, since al the gloves are made of sheepskin. There is money in the business as well as hum- bug, and capital invested in a we'll managed factory will bring a large re- turp.-M r. Iri5une.

A Good Law for Jersey Parsons.
M. '. sun.1

The new marriage laws of Pennsylvania, framed to prevent nasty marriages, have been in operation year. They have had one certain result; they have increased the revenues of the Jersey parsons who live near the Pennsylvania line. In Cam den the Roman Catholic clergymen refuse to marry hasty couples from Philadelphia, but many of the Protestants are not so conscientious. One parson stayed home during his summer vacation and made some three hundred dollars in fees. An other has cards, giving his residence and minute directions how to get there, dis tributed on all the ferry-boats plying be- tween Philadelphia and Camden.

Two well-known characters among the Onondaga Indians have recently died. One was Aunt Cynthia Farrar, famous for her wealth.

She owned, after the Indian manner of title. more than 800 acres of land, worth S100 per acre. She began her career as manufacturer of bead work.
