Some of the Favors Presented at Last
Nights German.
At the Thursday Assembly Clubs ger
man, last night, some of the favors were
veritable works Of art, novelties imported
from China and Japan. One of the hand
soonest of them was a quaint cOnceit ia
the shape of slender tSigs Of wood he-r
tween the spreading forks OF which a
startlingly realistic cobweb of pearl gray
silk was woven. In the centre of the web
spider is engaged in pinning down an
unfortunate fly and scattered here and
there in the web are tiny leaves of autumn
tints. The entire conceit was so true TO
nature that some of the young ladies i'm
voluntarily drew back when the webs
were handed them, but upon a closer exc
animation they could not fail to appreci-
ate the wonderful delicacy of the pQyCl
work, and carefully laid them aside for ~.
ture use in boudoir adornment.
Another very handsome. favor was a
dainty lawn-tennis racket with netting of
silk, on which was fastened a small ten
mis- cap of silk plush filed with bon-bons.
The handle of each racket was tied with
rich ribbon, harmonizing in color with
that of the cap.
A third was candlestick of japanese
bronze, made in the shape of large oak
leaf,
For the gentlemen there were bronze
paper-outters, memorandum books, with
backs of hght-colored leather embroid-
cred with silk moss roses, coin purses of
japanese leather, embossed leather and
similar dainty tritles

Olive Harper on Preparations for
the Improvement of the Com
plexion.

New York, Feb. 3.--Fashion has
not only its votaries, but its vagaries,
as the reader will be able to Judge by
glance at three costumes which are
exhibited in good faith by what may
be called imam milliner," that
ridiculous anomaly which has been
created by the folly of women. Now,
these men milliners, or 'ladies'
tailors," make up the worst-looking
monstfosities and tell their devotees,
"You must wear these; get them over
your heads while just from the bath,
so that they may glide ON easily land
in some cases, believe the wearers
have to grease their hair; get your
poor thin little arms into the sleeves.
Oh, they are sewed tight and won't
rip and ask your strongest servants
to come and hook them up for YOU"
And the poor things try and at last
actually succeed in getting them
hooked and buttoned, though how
they stand 1t / cannot imagine. The
inside of one of these tailor-made
gowns is fearfully and wonderfully
made. There are twelve stout whale-
bones sewed up in the seams, and
sometimes more crossed under the
arms to hold the waist absolutely in
flexible, and set in such way as to
render a wrinkle impossible, A
wrinkle in the waist of one of these
gowns would be equal to moral ruin,
as far as the tailor is concerned,
and / doubt not that he would far
rather steal 81 ,000, 600 than be accused

Oxide of zinc and bismuth are not
so dangerous as the others, but
neither is good for the skin. They
clog up the pores and check perspira-
ton, causing what are commonly
known as blackheads. Magnesia is
sometimes used, being adhesive, and
ground egg shells, which in that form
is kind'of lime, is sold also, to say
nothing Of chalk and other kindred
materials, and all have held their
places upon the toilet table, until to-
day, it is rare thing to see clear,
pretty, natural complexion. Still,
there are many ways by which a
woman can preserve, and even re-
store, much of her youthful fresh
ness by natural and healthful means,
with the occasional use of certain
harmless applications, which she can
prepare herself, thus knowing what
she is using, but, as the, story writers
say, it must be continued in our next.

STANFORD AND KILBoURy
Singular Incidents In the Careers of n,
California Forty Miners.


California Forty-N Miners. i
Says Washington special to the New
York World of Monday.
In the fall of 1850 Leland Stanford was
running a butcher-shop at Michigan
Bluff, Placer County, Cal, and delivered
steaks and joints from the panHiers on
mules back TO the hungry miners of the
surrounding camps. Mr.. Stanford was an
excellent butcher and did good busi-
ness At the same time, the fall of 1850,
Hallet Kilbourn was running bakery at
Mud Springs, Eldorado County, Cal, and
delivered bread and pies from his wagon
to diggers in the surrounding mining
camps. Mr.. Kilbourn was 4 good baker
and made big money in his enterprise.
In 1861 Leland Stanford was Inaugural
ted Governor of California and subse-
quently became United States Senator
from that State. In 1861 Hallet kilbourn
came to Washington, was appointed
clerk in the Department OF the Interior,
and subsequently became chief clerk of
the Department.
In 1876 Hallet Kilbourn was arrested
and incarcerated in the District jail by or
der of the House of Representatives for
refusing to testify or produce his private
books and papers for the inspection of u
House investigating committee After
six weeks confinement Mr.. Kilbourn was
discharge from custody on writ of ha-
beas corpus, and at once brought suit
against the Sergeant-at- Arms ofthe House
for ialseim Imprisonment. The case reached
the Supreme Court Of the United. States,
| and that hody unanimously decided that
| Mr.. Kilbourn had been falsely impris-
oned, and that the Sergeant-at-Arms of
the House was liable for damages. Mr..
Kilbourn subsequently, obtained judg-
pent for $4,000 against that person,
which Congress appropriated, and it was
| paid b. MIR. kilbourn just nine years after
his illegal ,rfrast.
| In 1887 the commission created by Con-
| gress TO investigate the affairs of the Pa
cific Railroads, examined Senator Stan
ford as q witness, and, tC "'"in inter-
rogatories propounded
sion, the Senator refus
order was issued fo'
Senator as a contumauious w4.nS4.. Ihe
h Senator appealed to the United States
District Court, and pleaded, in bar of the
| proposed arrest, the case of Kilbourn VS..
the Sergeant-at- Arms of the House. The
Court sustained the plea, and Senator
Stanford escaped Imprisonment and re-
tained his liberty by virtue of the prece.
dent established by Mr.. Kilbourn's sue
cessful nine-year plucky fight against
Congress.
| When arrested by order of the House
in 1876 Mr. Kilbourn was residing in his
| spacious house corner OF X street and
| Farrngut Square which he had erected a
few years previously. Senator Leland
Stanford, the many times millionaire
from California, now occupies the same
house built and formerly occupied by
Mr.. Kilbourn. Mr.. KLbourn occupies
elegant apartments at the Portland, and
is the. principal owner and publisher of
the bright and enterprising WASHINGTON
CRITIC. Although thus somewhat linked
together by these few incidents in their
lives, it is stated that the California pio-
neer butcher and baker have never per-
sonally met each other.

HUNTING SUIT. the most proml-
nent and wealthy families in the city,
two of them being sisters. None
other would dare to adopt such cos
tunes and promenade the streets, but
to the rich much is pardoned.
These hunting suits are made with
velveteen or corduroy skirts, with
drab or gray tunic and jacket. Two
of them had English shooting jackets,
with pockets TO hold the game.
While we are talking of young girls
and their vagaries, / win present a
pretty and stylish party or ball dress
for young girl, partly because of its
modesty and partly because of its
simplicity, which will make it easy to
copy from, and almost any thin ma
terial is suitable. 1t can be made of
tulle over q foundation of satin, or 1t
can be made of tarletaine over fine
silisia, and either looks as pretty as
the other, the chief thing being to
have it fit neatly, and the next to
have nice ribbons and gloves.
The pretty wrap and warm hood are
such inseparable necessities with a
ball toilet that in figure is offered
one of the daintiest that could be in
vented The hood is all in one piece,
and somewhat in the shape of a fichu.
1t should be made of soft, light col
ored cashmere, trimmed with swans
down or feather trimming, and lined
with surah. If there is any swans
down left after finishing the hood it
can be utilized as a powder puff.
Powder, however, is not used by
womankind as much as it used TO be,
though mankind does not know it,

too many objections. 1t blew of with

| say there is not one of those articles
which is safe TO use upon the skin. If
they are liquid, they must be made of
one of three things-white lead in
the form of flake white, white
arsenical powder, or the light oxide
ofzinc.
The white lead is placed in rose
water, where 1t promptly settles to the
bottom, and when shaken forms
regular paint, which is applied to the
surface of the skin as paint is put on q
door. The lead soon penetrates the
skin, dries and yellows it 50 that in
less than six weeks after beginning
its use it has TO be used to hide its own
ravages. Then comes twitching of
the eyes and muscles of the face or
other parts of the body, and lead palsy
has set in. How many die from this
no one knows, though it is often set
down in vital statistics in great cities.
Some can use it longer than others
without the effects showing, but
these women break up the worst when
they begin, and nearly always die, rs
it gives the poison better chance to
work. Ammonia dropped into little
of this will prove the presence of lead
by turning It black as ink.
Arsenic in solution is more insidious
and deceptive than lead; but equally
dangerous. Arsenic makes the skin
fair, white and satiny, and after a
while perfectly beautiful and trans
parent; but by that time it will have
"got in its work." and the whole sys-
tenn is disorganized and partial dropsy
has set in. The eyelids are swollen
and puffed, the hands and feet also,
and there is constant metallic taste
in the mouth; appetite grows poor
and the sufferer nervous and haccid.
If 1t is stopped, in two weeks the per-
son who has been using it will appear
twenty years older. If persisted in,
it kills. The poison is. absorbed
