sensus of opinion in the Dilke-diyOrce

Women Before the Camera.

Women are self-conscious enough,
though, under certain conditions.
don't believe that in all the fine collec-
tions Of photographs exhibited this year
there are half dozen girls who have not
assumed the expression they were taken
in. II is curious to note the character
displayed in these unknown faces-the
bias toward the sentimental, as in that
young lady's with the fine eyes that gaze
anguishingly upward, with her pretty
hands clasped under her rather sharp
chin. As rule, think thin girls most
affect the moon-struck attitude. A cast
of melancholy does not suit excessive
avoirdupois. The fat ones affect dignity
as a general thing, and in fine reserve,
even haughtiness, indeed, before which
the bravest photographer must quail at
times
Then there is the cynical expression,
though this is rare, and the expression of
extreme felicity and goodwill toward all
mankind, and the trustful, questioning
expression, and the debonnaire, saucy
look, like that upon the countenance of
the pretty girl in the sailor hat and
yachting suit. Men, as general thing,
affect either extreme sterness or lofty in
tellectuality in photographs, but mans
picture is more likely to be faithful re.
production Of his common mood than a
woman s is of hers. Inconsistencies, we
are told Is the last effect Of good breed
ing. II photographs are to be regarded
as indicating our possession Of it, we have
not advanced very far.-TorontO Globe.

The demented Rhode Island barber, who
cut the throat of a customer the other day,
will have the effect of injuring his trade if
nothing worse happens TO him. Il was shaw
ed by that barber on numerous occasions, "
said Providence merchant the other day,
4and thought that he acted funny sometimes;
but as that is not unusual for q barber
thought nothing more of it. tremble to think
Of what might have been the consequences
had my throat been cut in one Of his crazy
freaks" 1t is now said that it had been known
for long time that the BARRIERS brain was
disordered, and that physician had advised
his removal to an asylum for treatment, Still
he was permitted to manipulate the razor and
put mems lives In danger till at last he made
victim of an unfortunate fellow.
1t certainly passes understanding how any
body can justify the carelessness that permits
a crazy barber to pursue his calling. And
yet am told that one Of the crack BARRIERS in
a well-known hotel in this city was for seven
months an inmate of an insane asylum. Now
that public attention has been directed to this
matter il is probable that there will be large
number of men who will pattern after the
president and shave themselves. The president
boasts that he has not been shaved by bar
Der in twenty years, preferring to shave him
self The crazy barber and the fact that a
man who shaves himself has been elected pres
ident are not such things as will improve
trade In the barber shops-Alfred Trumbls

The Kings Valet de Chambre.

The Daily News of Munich tells a story
illustrative Of the queer freaks Of the late
mad king of Bavaria He had an excel
lent valet de chambre, whose services he
praised greatly, but who one day COM
mitted some petty fault that threw the
quick-tempered monarch into such q
tempest Of fury that he beat him with his
fists and said: sect out! / do not want
ever to see your face again" The man
went as rapidly as he could. Then the
king had a succession of Wallets, each one
OF whom seemed worse, more stupid, and
incompetent than his predecessor, until
the king was frantic all the time. The
Baron Schneider, chief of the palace,
urged him to take his old valet back
again, but he refused on the ground that
his dignity would not permit him to do
80, when he had said he wished never to
see the man. face again. Then the baron
had happy idea. Very well, your
majesty" he said, "you need not see his
face again. We will make blackamoor
of him" To that the king assented
cheerfully, and thereafter until his
death, he was faithfully served by an ap-
parent negro, who was, however, in real
fly a native of Munich, his old white
valet.-New York Sun.

/ Striking Effects of LOng-Continued PhOs
phorus Poisoning-The Remedy.
| In the making of luCifer matches, the ends
| Of the wood, suitably dried and split, art
| dipped into a paste composed of phosphorus
and chlorate or nitrate of potash. OF course
there are the dangers of explosion and acci
dental burns from these chemicals; in addi.
ton, the employees, chiefly women and chill
dren are poisoned by fumes of phosphorus.
Almost all Of them are pale and badly nour-
ished; complain Of pains in the stomach and
dyspepsia; while many of them have a catarrh
Of the stomach; lung diseases - especially
catarrhs and consumption are frequent.
Some match manufacturers say that the work
men become dull and stupid, and have nc
energy or "heart" in their work.
The most striking effect of long-continued
phosphorus poisoning is to produce death of
portions of bones, particularly that of the
lower jaw. This disease appears after four
or five years employment in this business,
and 10 or II per cent of the old hands become
thus affected. Toothache is generally the
first thing wrong that is noticed, then pains
in the face, swelling and tenderness of the
gums, enlarged glands, etc. Then an abscess
forms, which discharges offensive matter, and
the bone is dead When the upper jaw is
affected the disease is slow in its progress; in
the lower one it runs a shorter course and is
attended by more suffering. II the dead bone
Is removed by surgical operation, recovery is
the rule; while IS to 50 per cent. of those
neglected die.
To prevent this painful and sometimes fatal
disease, the most complete ventilation Of the
working rooms, particularly near the floor,
where the heavy yapors sink for time,
should be- enforced. As the four thousandth
part of the vapcr Of oil of turpentine in the
air prevents the giving off of phosphorus
vapors at ordinary temperatures, d con-
tanning this substance should be fIS lis
tributed about the floors of the rooms. Inc
English workmen carry small tin boxes con-
tanning this oil suspended from their necks, in
order to prevent inhaling the poisonous
vapors Children should not be permitted to
engage in such employment, and all EN-
ployes who have imperfect teeth should be
rejected, for the poison frequently gains en-
trance to the bone of the jaw through a de-
fective tooth The so-called "red phosphor-
u.s. only should be allowed in the manufac-
ture Of matches This is much more expensive
than the ordinary form, but it is not poison
