On ordinary occasions this is what YOU sec on opening the door of the studio in the Rue de Berri. long and extremely lofty apart ment lighted from above; at one end is a low platform on which stands a model "un- drapGd" save for the red cloth round her loins; at the other end is q ''draped" model. The former sits for the ensemble, the latter for the hecd and bust only. Before each, forty or fifty pupils are grouped, some sitting, some standing, brunettes and blondes, girls in blouses or pinatores, and one or two elderly women in bonnets, some welding the brush. others working in charcoal. Between the two divisions is a young woman sketchine out rich hued bunch Of particular blossoms that happen to be ill season; the flowers from which she painting being arranged on low table, scentlng the air with their fragrance

Popularity of Society Specialists.

Society, which is always ready to divert its dul.ness with any fad, however puerile or lEco:Sequentlal, last winter developed veri- 'at!1 novelty i'll the person of buxom and caaely widow. who possessed in an eni- s.ent degree gift that does not commonly fall to or receive cultivation by her sex For a whole season Mrs. Shaw's abilities as a whistler were the talk of the five o'clock teas
 herever you went you were greeted by the melodious piping of this substantial nightiu- gale, who really did whistle very tunefullv, and who contrived, somehow, to not look ridiculous when she puckered her lips and faced her audience. At the end of the season Mrs. Shaw took a benefit, and went to Lon don to whistle her way into the good graces ot the nobility and gentry. The result is that sine comes back to us graduated into full hedged sif1euse, and with the Bow Bells guinea stamp of Merit to recommend her for further social encouragement.
 During her absence a nav star in the drawing room Armament had arisen in the person of young woman whose talent for that humorous distortion of the features known to the English as "mugging" is said to be only surpassed by that of Marshall P. lI0cr himself. This fair artist, with table, couple of screens and a re{iectinc lamp or two, makes up for all manner of familiar and unfamiliar people, and as she arttullv carlcatrres some of the odd men and women ln society and its immediate outskirts, it can te readily understood that her performance Is not without interest. There will be more money spent than ever this season in the direction of these society specialists, who are getting to be as popular here as they are in LnGland-poSsibly because they are popular ill England. What with readers and reciters, performers and planists, fidIers, face makers, whlStlers and what not else, there ought to be variety enough to rendor the average luncheon or tea almost bearable to the person of average intelligence.

A HAIR DREssER's CUSTOMERS
Transforming Some of Ugl.est Women of
 Europe-His Methods.

l Transforming Some of Ugl.est Women of Europe-His Methods.
 | A short time ago, a hair dresser, speaking 1 of two of the ug.iest woman in Europe, the 1 princess Lise Troubetskoi and the princess
 Metternich who were formerly his custom
 CTS, said of the Russian lady: ''That little
 woman is adorable She is absolutely with
 single physical point worth boasting of.
 Her face was always monstrously plainsthe
 nose being just two holes the eyes of a washed out color, and wanting in fine form; the i mouth coarse, with yellow teeth in detached pegs. Her neck, always thin, was, as she advanced in life, scraggy, betraving fatness
 of chest, notwithstanding the full bosom ob- tained by padding. Her arms were mere
 skewcrs her legs ditto, and her feet flat and more like frogs than anything else. She
 was on the whole uglier than Mme
 Llnousin. Well, through talent in aD- plying art, she was socially a great sue CcSS and one of the most victorious ilrts both in her youth and in middle ana old age that ever came within the range of my observation. To see her before tho glass, waiting for me to operate, sue was truly revolting sight. But when her maid and had fixed her up, ehe was q rcloubtable rival for no matter what beauty The satis- faction she felt on seeing herself transformed
 lighted her up, called all her pcrycrsity into play, and made her agOg for manSlaughter
 The Princess Metternich was iollier, and had finer hair, more wit and animal spirits. and was not quite so ugly, although fright.
 Well, she supported triumphantly proximity to the prettiest and best dressed women in Flu rope-the Empress Eugene and those beau ties of her court, whom Winterhalter grouped around her in doing one of his portraits of her. She greatly depended on the capillary fantasia into which worked her tresses- real and borrowed. A plain style would not have drawn the eye from the frightful face or tickled it into good humor, and grotesoue- ness would have been ruin. 1 had to be very eccentric, and yet to know exactly where to draw the line.
 l was the coifeur of the Vaudeville thes- tre when Mlle Schneider was playing there Ill the bouffe operas which she made famous, The Princess used to come into the dressing room ot Mile. Wanda when I could not ab- sent myself from the theatre, to get me to dress her hair for balls and grand soires. Tier taste was very sure ill choosing the dresses, and l always followed it. I one night suggested that she should go to a fancy ball as a damsel-hy or 'devil's-needle' She came splendidly got up, and looked as if ready to rise into the air. never saw such an arrangement of gauge and tinsel in my life. The thin, long arms and legs, which were much" i'll view, helped the costumer's effects. There was not beauty at the ball who could hold candle to the Princess Met | ternlch, who was certainly the ugliest of wo- mon, although the most attractive '-The Ar | COnaut

Great Britain's 'Infants' Friends"

It is said that 40 per cent of all the deaths from poison in Great Britain are due to opium; and this rate of mortality, according to Dr. Wynter Blythe, "arises in great measure from the pernicious practice, both of hard working English mothers and the baby farmer, of giving infants soothing syrups, infants friends and tho like, to allay restlessness and keep them asleep during the greater part of their existence" It has been calculated that one preparation alone is the undoubted cause of doath of l50,O00 chil- drea every year.-Bostop Budget.

Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1888-03-23

Hon. O. b. Thomas, of Prairie
du Chen, representative in congress
from the seventh district, has pre-
pared and introduced a bill which
seeks to prevent trusts and prohibit
pooling. The only sensible way for
congress to prohibit trusts and pools
is to give the country fair and equitable
tariff laws in place of the stupendous
piece of jobbery on the statute books,
If Mr.. Thomas does not realize this he
should not be sent to congress- to mis-
represent the needs of his district and
the country. What is the use Of pro
claiming against trusts and monop'
olies, when the great Chinese wall OF
protection is maintained for their sole
benefit and behoof?
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1888-03-23

Never has the democratic party
been 50 hopelessly divided upon the
tariff question as the republican party
is at the present time, The democrats
are falling into line in support of the
policy of tariff reform outlined by
President Cleveland's message. The
republican protectionists invariably
denounce the message as a free trade
document; but, so far, they have been
unable to have the party as an organ
ization in any Of the northwestern
states take direct issue with the
President. In the convention of re-
publican leagues of Springfield, Ill,
the question raised a tumult. The
subject was more quietly disposed of
at Madison, last week; but inside his
tory disclosed the fact that there was
no less Il division of sentiment. In
regard to the tariff plank adopted by
the Wisconsin republican league one
member of the committee on reso-
lutions is reported as saying: IF YOU
know what it all means you are wiser
than | am, but it was the best we
could do under the circumstances. We
could not afford to go before the voters
OF Wisconsin this year defending the
present tariff, and yet we could not
indorse Cleveland's message"

A GaIena Complaint About the Mail
Service.
The Dubuque Herald.

The Dubuque Herald.
The Galena Gazette, of the 9TH inst,
has an article complaining bitterly of
the ineniciency of the railway mail
service at that place. Among other
things it says:
lone day last week we failed to re-
ceive six out of about fourteen of our
daily exchanges. Among those we
failed to receive were the Chicago
Tribune, Dubuque Times, and Free
port and Rockford papers. The next
day none of our Freeport papers were
received. To-day none of our Du-
buque Sunday morning papers were
received at the Gaiena post-Otfice.
There was never a time in the history
OF the mail service in this country
when the mails were ever before so IL
norantly handled in transmission as
they are now The present condition
of affairs in the mail service is one of
the things incident to a change OF
party, and the discharge Of valued
clerks for new men
Now to see the absurdity of the Ga
aette's complaint, it is only necessary
to know what is the truth, that all the
postal clerks who run through Galen&
are, every man of them, old clerks and
Republicans. The postal route be
tween Dubuque and Chicago, through
Galena, is one of the few routes where
there has been no change at all. The
errors and delays Of which the Gazette
complains are all made by old exper-
fenced clerks and Republicans, not q
NEW" Democrat in the whole lot.
