AT one of the north-shore resorts the
people in the town will tell you some
very funny tales of the-to speak po-
litely-piggishness of family noted in
paths of literature and wealth in the
society of this city. They tell, for in
stance-one of many-that though their
pasture lands are covered with berries
that no one picks they put sign up
mo berries picked on these lands" One
day some poor children of the town
picked some berries, and in selling them
went to the house on the estate where
the berries were picked. The lady came
to the door, and being asked to buy re-
piled tartly: Give those berries to me.
Buy them, indeed They belong to us. "
She put out her hand to take them, but
the boy was too quick for her. He
turned the berries out into the dust, re-
marking as he did so, Pick them then;
l did!"-Home journal.

THE DERlNGER.

From 1880 to 1860 was the golden era
of that peculiarly American tool, the
Deringer pistol, and what a record of
death it has had, Every Southern and
southwestern man above thirty knows
what they were. They were made by IA
celebrated Philadelphia gunsmith. from
whom they take their name. who was one
of the earliest contractors with the United
States government for military rifles. He
was either German or of German eXtrac-
ton, and undoubtedly came to be the
cleverest fabricator of pistols and rifles
of his time. Deringer made the rifle the
young men of Philadelphia presented to
David Crockett-that afterwards became
so famous in its owners hands for the
execution it did on wild beasts and Wild
er men, red and white-before its lion
hearted owner died by James Bowie's
side at the Alamo. By the way, this rifle
is still in existence. Ii is enjoying a
green old age in the hands of as gallant a
soldier and chivalrous Il spirit as belongs
in the Southwest, Col. Bob Crockett, the
old hero's nephew, of Crockett's Blutf,on
the White River, in Arkansas. But to
return. The times speak of-lS3O to
lS6O-were the golden era in the far
South and Southwest. Every gentleman
was accustomed TO the use of arms from
his youth. Before the days of the revolt
yer, and, indeed, long after, pair of
pocket pistols were as much a part of a
gentleman's belongings as correct
wardrobe. 1t was necessary that they
should be light, well made, and of deadly
accuracy at short range, This want of

The STATuE OE LIBERTY


The colossal statue called Liberty En-
tightening the World"-which stands on
Bellows island in New York harbor-
was unveiled with appropriate ceremon-
les on Thursday of last week. There
was great parade in the city, which
was reviewed by President Cleveland. the
French delegation and prominent Ameri-
cans. On the island speeches were made
by Count de Lesseps, Consul General La
faivre, President Cleveland and William
Nj. Evarts. Chauncey VI. Depew deliv-
cred the commemorative address. Al
though unpropitious weather detracted
from the brilliancy of the Liberty cele-
bration, it was a remarkable and memoir
able demonstration.
The New York Tribune says: "The
Goddess of Liberty is the largest work of
its kind that has ever been completed
The legendary Colossus of Rhodes could
not possibly have had the shape or big
ness attributed to it. The colossal statue

more than foot shorter. All of them

passion for liberty for which the men of
the revolution spilled their blood in
France and in America, and which, if in

A Better Mental Digestion Needed.

for reading formed, above that very
reading which encourages a waste of
leisure. The salvation of our boys and
girls lies in awakening an interest in
some intellectual and manual study that
they can easily indulge when not held
by work. By manual study l mean one
that occupies the hands as well as the
brain. One of the best saved fellows
know is this boy John. He is busy at a
desk as accountant for ten hours day.
But when not there he is absorbed with
ornithology. He shoots his own speci-
mems; he has made himself master of
taxidermy; can sketch admirably; has
his portable Photographic apparatus.
His room is a museum. Damn that boy
you can not His tastes are up. His
books are associated with his work. We
must think how to have more Johns of
this sort. We must if possible, have
created higher average capacity to
read-that is, better mental digestion.

AN ACTRESS MAKEUP.
What Is Used to Beautify the Skin and
Biacken the EyeIids.

What Is Used to Beautify the Skin and
Biacken the Eyelids.
Nothing is so exaggerated or mystic
rious to the outside world as the make
up process of actors" said prominent
member of the profession yesterday to
reporter.
"Well, l suppose actresses adopt the
same process as fashionable women"
Not bit of it. Actresses have to
follow simple and quick methods to
make up for stage appearance. The
actress who wishes to make good APP
pearance usually washes her face in
water and then in bay rum. Oriental
cream or whitish liquid is next applied
with a sponge. When the face is dry
it is then powdered with the softest
channels skin. Then the background, as
it were, is ready, and ermine is deli
cately distributed with a fine, velvet
sponge over the features. The lips next
receive attention by the homeopathic APP
plication of a red liquid. All this is done
with incredible swiftness and without
any apparent effort to obtain artistic eff
feet. The particular part of the toilet
now begins-penciling the eyebrows
A small camels hair brush, of the best
quality, is moistened with the finest In
dia ink and work on the eyebrows is
fairly inaugurated. A delicate line is
also drawn under the lashes on the lower
lid. This is the way the actress prepares
to make her appearance uopn the stage
when she is personating a character that
does not require her to look older than
she really is. In that case, of course,
she uses cosmetics and paints to produce
wrinkles and the necessary aged appear
ance. Lead pencils No. are frequently
used instead of India ink to pencil the
eyebrows.
"The enamelling process, which origi-
mated in France, is very rarely resorted
to on account of its baneful effects. 1t
gives the face a ghost-like, waxy look,
and is far from being beautiful. 1t is a
perfect art, though, and, frequently,
very old actresses can build a new and
youthful face for the stage with enamel.
Used to great extent it fills the pores of
the skin, and posons the muscular
glands, producing disease. Some of the
great and successful actresses, however,
have outfits that harem of Oriental
women might envy. To enumerate a
few articles: glycerine, India ink, pow
ders, carmine, lead pencils, sponges,
powder puffs, crimpers, frizzers, chamois
skin, puffs, braids, hairpins, piece of
steel for short curls, tooth paste, bay
rum, Florida water, arsenic, nail-brush,
tweezers for pulling out gray hairs, card
anon seeds, dyes, aromatic pills for the
breath, invigorators, sheet of zinc for
curling the hair, two hand-glasses, be-
sides other articles. The effect of long
years of painting face is quite visible
and noticeable by the generally dead APP
pearance of the skin. l would advise
every actor and actress to pay great
deal of attention to scrubbing their faces
after the performance. They do wash
the paint off, but oftentimes being in a
hurry they do not wash hard enough.

in acting. New York Mail and Elk
