neantr rahs for the Cheeks.


Hollow cheeks and wrinkles are awkward
things. Ladies do their best to prevent their
appearance The clever ones seem TO be able
to ward Off the wrinkles, but hollow cheeks
completely battle their skill A gentleman
who lives at Islington is providing ladies
whose checks are hollow with small pads.
These pads are attached 10 natural or arti-
fetal teeth by means of tiny gold springs.
The price of face pad is a trifle heavy, like
everything else guaranteed to improve the
personal appearance. A pair of pads cost
something like 81. The maker of the face
pad said that gentlemen, as well as ladies,
are wearing them. One gentleman had never
looked anything but cadaverous until he took
to the pad. Now his checks are rounded like
"A cherub's and he looks ten years younger.
The curious thing about the face pad is its
infiexibility Ii is made of the same material
as the case OF set of artificial teeth.-Pall

The rnst!eSs process, which las been until
lately an experiment, has now demonstrated
that great economy can be used, not only in
ice pipes, but in every article where iron is
used. In the past year over 200, go kettles
have been subjected TO this process in Pitts
burg. The method is very peculiar. After
the article Is made it is put into furnace
about 80 feet high, Is feet long and S feet
broad. The furnace is made in an oval
shape, air tight. After the iron has been in
the furnace for two hours, and II has attained
almost a white heat the air that comes
through the regenerators and air valves is
shut securely g, and the furnace is made
air tight
After the air has been shut off. the super
heater, which Is located il the combustion
chamber at the rear OF the furnace, and at
right angles from the air valves is opened,
and the furnace is filled with steam and kept
in tins condition for eight hours At short
intervals small valve is opened, 50 as to
allow an exodus Of steam in the furnace, al
lowing fresh steam TO be put into the fur
mace.
When the articles have been ten hours in
the furnace, there has been accomplished the
formation Of magnetic oxide upon the iron
surface. They are then put into an acid well,
which Is the last treatment. -PittSburc Dis

Auburn Haired Girls.

All young women possessed OF red hair can
remember that in the days of their childhood
their hilsute adornmont was a source OF
hooking merriment to their friends, and the
term ''snrrel top OF strawberry blonde"
was one II contempt. They wondered, per-
haps, why it was they were always called
''red hea led, B" when their playmates were de-
scribed us being black, brown or golden
haired. But the red headed" girls don't
mind now that it Is every young woman's
ambition to be auburn haired, and she hopes
by the use of hair dyes to attain the shade
which belonged TO the wicked Lucretia II
she gets exactly the right shade she does not
see why a single thread Of her hair might not
be preseI we'd and exhibited, as is the one 50
proudly shown in Florence as having be-
longed Il the wicked Lucretia.
1t is odd how many famous women have
had this Titan red hair. Catharine OF Rus
STA gloried in it, and Anne of Austria had
brown hair, Just on the verge Of being red
Ninon de rEnclos was equally proud of her
warm cllored tresses, and Mary Stuart
seemed daughter of the sun. Jane Hading

How Labor Day Originated.

In the spring of 1852, General Secretary P.
j. Mcclure, Of the United Brotherhood of
Carpenters, first originated the observance of
a distinct and new holiday-with parade and
picnic-to be known as Labor Day. He
preached the idea TO several labor men and
then TO the Central Labor union OF New
York, and got them to adopt it. The first
Monday in September, lss2. was agreed upon
as the day for the first public observance of
Labor Day." The first attempt was deemed
to be so successful by the Central Labor
union that it decided TO celebrate the first
Monday in September every year as labor's
holiday. The plan was then Endorsed by the
annual convention OF the American Fedora
ton of Labor, and by the general assembly
OF the knights Of Labor. The idea met with
favor In other cities and states, and the labor
organizations in them observed the day in
various ways-by parades. festivals, excur-
sions, or meetings, and-have continued to do
so-Carpenter.
