The process of preparing a French ballet
girl for her debut has been divulged by q
lady who is a professor of the art of
kalsomining. as it may be termed. The
danseuse, who is about to faire son mastic,
sits before her looking glass, and over
face, arms. neck, shoulders and bosom she
spreads a coat of liquid white, which dries
and forms a sort of varnish. This first
coat she greases with a little cold cream
and perfumes it with a dash Of poudre de
riz. Then she touches up her cheeks with
vermilion, heightens the red of her lips
with carmine, magnifies the contour of
the eyes with kohl, paints her eyebrows
with Indian ink, picks out a few veins,
and the mastic is complete, This opera
ton requires at least half an hour. Next
the dancer draws on her silk tights, and
next she dons her underskirt; then follows
the corsage, the five or ten gauze skirts,
or whatever more or less s~uccinct costume
may be worn; and finally the bracelets,
earrings. and miscellaneous jewelry which
these young ladies will insist on wearing.
Thus equipped she bounces on to the
stage. smiling. fresh and gay. and fitting
with easy grace through her pas, ap-
plauded by the admiring audience. But
the moment that her back Is turned to the
public the smile vanishes. her face be-
comes serious, her features are grimacing
and drawn with fatigue. and as she passes
us we see that she is painting for breath
and bathed in perspiration. And by the
time she has finished dancing she will be
SO worn out that she will scarcely have
strength enough left to crawl upstairs to
her dressing room, where she will iced to
be rubbed down and tended like an over
taxed racehorse .-Home Journal.

THE Laramie Times, without any inten-
ton of being captious, calls attention to a
matter which accounts for the non. attend
ance of far Western visitors to the fair.
The subject is one which should receive
some degree of consideration at the hands
of the railroad company, for it certainly
might work much good in many different
directions. THE distance from Chey-
enne to points beyond Laramie is too great
to make the trip reasonable" says the
Times. THE fare from Laramie and re-
turn was $3.50, and of course for greater
distances it was still more, so that the
cost OF enjoying the fair when you add
hotel bills and necessary Incidental ex-
penses amounted to considerable. Before
the next annual fair time it will be well to
urge upon the railway company that
lower rates ought to be made. 1t may do
no good. but there is no loss in trying it.
These Territory fairs ought to be very
largely attended, and whatever benefit the
Union Pacific company may do the terri
tory, in a reduction of rates, will come
back to it in business as Improvements
multiply and the population of Wyoming
increases"

 Austin Blakeman, 16 year old inmate of the reform school and native of Flaw leyville, received frightful scalp wound early yesterday morning. He was playing in the yard and with a number of other boys, when the recreation was over, started on a run for the building, which they entered through the play room door. The door is a low one and the Blakeman boy rather tall. In his eagerness to get in first he rushed forward, and not bending low enough struck the crossing with his head. A wonnd nearly six inches long was cut in his scalp, and it is feared that his skull was fractured. Dr Wilson was called and put several stitches in the cut and said the skull was not injured.

BERLIN'S HAUNTED HOUSE.
A Ghostly Baby That Keeps up Con tinuOus Crying.

tinuOus Crying.
 Berlin people have something new to talk about in the shape of haunted house or ghost story The house mentioned is that known as the old Blair property, situ- ated about three-quarters of mile south west of the Berlin post office. That the house is haunted is without doubt; at least those who have lived there say so and the haunt consists of the crying of baby during the still hours of the night. It was first noticed several years ago when Frank Burt resided in the place and who moved away on account of the continuous crying of the ghost baby and the queer way in which the door would open after he had taken particular pains to close and nail it fast
 The place was then sold to family by the name of Webster, who soon disposed of it and moved away. The last victim to the ghost scare was James North, the Ber- lin butcher, who has since moved away, leaving the place vacant. He asserts that the house is surely haunted as he also has fastened the doors firmly upon retiring at night, and on arising the next morning would find them swinging as natural as ever. The first time MT North noticed the ghost was late one night when his wife thought the baby was crying. He also heard the crles oI tne lnIanJ, put upon lnVesJlSat1on found their little one safely tucked away in the bed clothes and sleeping soundly. The cries continued night after night, until finally MT North decided to let the ghost have right of way and moved out. MT North's brother, who lived with him, states that the crying of the ghost baby is . fact and that he has been awakened more than once by the piteous moans of the ghost infant. xk
 Superstitious people in Berlin trace the ghost theme away back some 25 years ago when the house was one of ill-repute and a baby was murdered there; and they at tribute the fact of the house being haunted to that.

 At the regular monthly meeting of the board of road commissioners, held last evening the board recommended layout for Farm, Vine and Round Hill streets.

 The board then proceeded to an inform al ballot for commissioner, the names o1 James Colley, John Shanley, Charles C. Horne and Ralph Bronson being pre- sented.

 William Atkinson, the Waterbury coun- terfeiter, was put to plea on two counts. The first charged him with making and the second with passing counterfeit coins. The prisoner said he would plead guilty to the second count and accessory to the first This was an intimation that the commercials were made not by the prls- Oner, but by his roommate, one Blackman, who disappeared at the time of Atkinson's arrest, and has not since been seen. When informed that he could not plead in such way, he changed his plea to guilty in both counts. His counsel, Attorney Wood, in- troduced several witnesses to testify to the previous reputation of the prisoner. An uncle in telling what good young man the prisoner was, said that he "was con- versant with all parts of the Scripture" at which statement an amused smile lowered for moment over the prisoners face as if he had heard good joke. Judge Shipman sentenced him to two years in prison.
