Attention! Comrades.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railway is now prepared to furnish full
and definite information regarding the
twenty-third national encampment of
the Grand Army of the Republic. to be
held in Milwaukee, Wis, during the
last week in August, 1889. The above
named company gives passengers the
choice of three separate and distinct
routes from st. Paul and Minneapolis
to Milwaukee and return, with five
daily trains to and from that city. No
other line can offer such advantages,
and comrades are assured that no pains

Maud. my wife, and the tenor. Mickey,
Were singing together blithe duet,
And days it were better l should forget
Came suddenly back to me.
Days when life seemed gay masque ball,
And to love and be loved was the sum of it
all.
AS they sang together the whole scene fled
The rooms rich hangings the sweet home
air,
Stately Maud, with her proud blonde head,
And seemed to see in her place instead
A wealth of blue black hair,
And face, ah, your face-yours, Lisette,
A face it were wiser l should forget.
We were blackwell, no matter when or
where;
But you remembir. know, Lisette,
l saw you, dainty and debonnaire.
With the very same look that you used to
In the days should forget;
And your lips, as red as the vintage we
Quaffed
Were pearl-edged bumpers of wine when you
laughed.
Two small slippers with big rosettes,
Peeped out under your kilt skirt there,
While we sat smoking our cigarettes
ooh. shall be dust when my heart forgetS y
And singing that self same air;
And between the verses, for interlude
1 kissed your throat and your shoulders
nude.
You were so full OF subtle fire,
You were so warm and so sweet, Lisette:
You were everything men admire.
And there were no letters to make us tire,
For you were-a pretty grisette.
But you loved, as only such natures can,
With love that makes heaven or hell for q
man.
They have ceased singing that old duet,

in various parts of the city, says the
New York Press.
At one of the best known barber shops
of this kind it was learned that 1000 or
5000 ladies pay the place visit during
month. There are rooms for the opera
ton of each special branch of the pro-
fession. Dyeing is done in private
apartment. where the public gaze does
not follow her who seeks to dellber-
ately change the locks endowed by
nature.
Bronze, a deeper hue than the Titan
red, which has found faver from time
to time since the great artist gave the
color to the hair of his MadonnaS,iS now
the shade OF all others which obtains
favor. Even gray-halred ladies and
those who have heretofore found blonde
entirely to their taste, are now turning
their patronage to the bronze and au-
burn shades.
The fashion of dyeing the hair is by
no means confined to actresses, for So
ciety ladies indulge in the same en-
deaVor to enhance their beauty, which,
after all, must be admitted not en-
tirely admirable means of gratifying
their vanity.
Once the hair is dyed it is particular
object of care. 1t must be touched up"
once a month, OF it has that dirty, I'M
natural look at the roots which is far
from beautiful. Many ladies object
when fashion DEGREES change in the
mode of dressing the hair. but if they
think twice on the matter they will dis
cover that for its good it is well to vary
the style. When bralds and puffs and
curlS are pinned always in one place
they are apt in the course of time to
leave a bare spot undernea th. AS
result. the short hair which came into
fashion a few years ago was undoubt-
edly necessity if the hair was to
be preserved at all. The fancy of
short locks having been INDUCED in,
ladies permitted their hair to grow
again, and now braids of considerable
pretention. whether natural or unnat-
again. Curly bangs are becoming to so
main popular. False fronts are now
made on skeleton foundation, and do
not heat the head as formerly.
The process of having the head sham
pooed is very refreshing and very bene-
ficially INDUCED in once a week. Oft
ener it might be Injurious. Experts at
the work. after thoroughly Washing the
scalp with CASTLE soap, dry it slowly by
gently rubbing it and giving it putfs of
air from fan.
Mrs Langtry, Miss Lillian Russell
and Miss Minnie Palmer are among the
ladies who use some of the simple cos
metics now in vogue. The "Secret of
Beauty" or cocoanut milk, is applied
to the skin with sponge, leaves it soft,
smooth and white.
For the lips and cheeks there is the
"Turkish Rose Leaf" a liquid face
rouge. which, according to the amiable
opinion of French lady who has pro-
fessional knowledge of these things,
leaves a tinge as fine as the blush of
rose"

She's as graceful and free as fairy,
And down to the footlights she trips
Her great eyes like big twin stars cleaning,
And the ghost of smile on those lips
That are redder than any red nose is
Where the belted bee honey dew sips.
Tho tits true that her skirts they are scanty
(They don't reach half down to her knee),
AS she pirouettes there, or on tiptoe
Stands apoise like butterfly, she
Mayn't have dropped from the sky. but I'll
swear that
She 10 ks like an anyel to mo
And 1 watch her with heart that grows
hungry
And famished and foolish and faint.
Then flames fiery with jealous mad passion
OF love-you may say she's no saint,
But worship forever her shrine-spite
OF padding and powder and paint
But tho hope springs sometimes on sud-
den
Like flower, in the drought it soon
droops,
Tho her fair face, alas! is my heaven,
The star to the earth never stoops
For, oh she is the queen OF the ballet
While I'm the tag end of the supes.

THE HUMAN BREATH POISON.
Startling Result of Some Expert
ments by Prof Brown SeQuard.


The Paris correspondent of the Medi-
cal Press and Circular reports that at
the last meeting of the Academic des
Sciences Prof. Brown Sequard referred
to some experiments he had conducted
with view to determine what, if any,
were the toxic effects of the human
breath.
In condensing the watery vapor COM
ing from the human lungs he obtained
a poisonous liquid capable of producing
almost immediate death. This poison
is an alkalOid (Organic), and not mi
Gro be or a series of microbes, as might
have been imagined.
He injected this liquid under the skin
of rabbit. and the effect was speedily
mortal. The animal died without con-
Yulsions; the heart and large vessels
were engorged with reddish blood, con-
trary to what is observed after ordinary
death, when the quality of blood is mod
crate and of dark color.
In conclusion. this eminent physiol-
ogist said that it was fully proved that
respired air contained volatile toxic
principle far more dangerous than the
carbonic acid which was also one Of its
constituents. and that the human
breath, as well as that of animals, con-
tains highly poisonous agent.
