Strong Mon Held Their Breath.

Mr.. Randolf announced that the lady
would perform an act ON the slack wire.
She balanced herself on the wire and
tipped back and forth, while the audi
once looked on with that apathy and air
of being half bored, which characterizes
ull shows which are thoroughly famil-
lar to the theater and circus patron.
All at once the fair performer drew q
Few pins from the bay window of her
dress and drew that garment off, leaving
her standing on one foot, clad in an
elaborate lace skirt.
The audience awaked from its iudif-
ference, and the show becomes endowed
with new interest.
More pins were extracted and over
her head wentthe skirt.
The audience became excited.
Next the bus dress improver came
off. 1t had no longer any dress to i'm
prove, and its occupation was gone.
The audience began to speculate
as to where the disrobing process would
end, and pistol shot or dog fight
would not have served at that moment
to distract its attention.
BY this time the lady on the wire had
got down apparently to the snowy gar
ment which as adapted to tue male form
is known US shirt.
The audience craued its neck, so to
speak, and as the lady showed an inten-
ton of 1emoving even. that garment,
strong men held their breath in dismay,
wonder, and curiosity, while the weak
end modest ones covered their faces
with their hands.
Well, the what dye call it came off,
and-nothing more shocking was re-
vealed than q handsome and very
shapely young woman clad in the regu-
lar tights and trunks that nil well-reg-
ulatcd slack wire and trapeze artists are
won't to wear.

THE DEMAND FOR TYpEwRITEHs.

The typewriters are becoming SO eS-
pert that they can work the machine in
taking dictation almost as rapidly us the
stcnographer. The graphophone is also
coming into general use, and this is an
other blow at the stenographer. In a
year or two the counting-room steno-
graphcr will be out of job. The army
of typewriters is getting larger and
larger every year, and no business house
can afford to be without one of these deft-
fingered workers. Ladies find type
writing pleasant profession, and they
learn to use the machine more readily,
perhaps, than men. Many typewriters,
however, lack education. They are poor
spoilers and are ignorant of the meaning
of many words in every day use. There
is no excuse for this. Every typewriter
should learn to spell and punctuate and
learn the meaning of words. An &C.
complished typewriter is great luxury.
An uneducated one is anything but q
luxury.-Picayune.

TWO INEVITABLE FASHIONS.

Two things arc told certainly of the
fashions for the coming season. Cne is,
that the old-time hoop-skirt is 10 be
worn again, and with it the full-draped
and heavily trimmed dress.skirt; the
other is, that the head is going to be
piled up foot or more with u massive
monument of somebody clse's hair.
These two things are said to be certain,
because the modistes and hairdrcssers of
London, Paris and Vienna have settled
upon them. Nonsense! As if lot of
persons over in London or Paris or
Vienna or anywhere else were able to
foist these ridiculous revivals upon
American women of culture and taste.
American women have learned the heanty
of simple lines IN their drapery and of
the witchery of loose coils and gentle
knots and careful carclessness in their
coiffures. Just year ago now the same
cry was raised about the wonderful head
dressing we were going to see during the
coming winter, and every woman was
told that she would have to 50 back to
the rats and putfs and false plaits of q
quarter of century ago, and all the
hairdrcsscrs went to hanging beautiful
tails of human hair in their shop win
dows, and women sighed as they looked
at them, and then went calmly on tuck
ing their hair up into the same little
puffy knots and twists that have made
the beauty of their heads these past
years, and by and by the long tails of
silver and red-brown and yellow disap-
pcared from the shop windows, and no.
body heard anything more about won
derful head structures. And all the
while the hairdrcsscrs held meetings in
London and in Paris and in Vienna, and
went on decreeing great things, and
made themselves happy in it, possibly,
and, certainly, no one the unhappicr fer
it. 1t takes two sets of persons to make
fashions, you scc-one to decree them
and the other to follow them.-Ncp

BETHESDA'S POOL.
Recent Explorations Said to Har. Recov-
cred the Water.

Recent Explorations Said to Have Recov-
cred the Water.
A Washington special to the st. Louis
Globe Democrat says: The American
Consul at Jerusalem, Mr. Gilman,
sonds to the State Department an &C.
count of the recovery Of the famous
Pool of Bethesda. AS is we'll known,
the Birket Israel has iu the past been
considered as the site of the Bethesda,
but the excavations of the Algerine
monks under the ruins in the rear of
the Crusader Church of st. Ammo have
gradually transferred opinion in favor
of the latter locality. This was
strengthened by the discovery of rock
hewn pool containing water beneath
three successive structures. Subse.
qucnt excavations revealed the remains
of two tiers of-tive arched porches, the
lower tier being in the pool.
The intelligent labors of tho monks
who are in charge of the property have
been further rewarded by the re-
cent recovery of another pool contain
lug good supply of water to the west
ward of that first discovered, the entire
agreeing with the descriptions OF tho
Bethesda as given by the fathers of tho
Church and Christian pilgrims and
writer's as early rs the fourth century.
The correspondence in number of the
five porches to those mentioned in the
Gospel of st. John will not escape
notice. Steps cut in the rock lead
down into the water. An ancient
Christian church in ruins surmounts
the entire structure. The remains of
the upper tier of porches extend above
tie pool at right angles from the north
wall Of the crypt beneath the church,
in which the apse, at the east end,
though diapidated, is still distinctly
defined.
On clearing away the debris that
choked the fifth porch westward of the
apse all these discoveries eliminated in
revealing the remain1 of painting CT
fresco upon the plaster of the wall in
the rear. The fresco represents an
angel as if descending into and troub-
ling the waters, which latter is dc.
picted by conventional zigzag and
wavy lines of IN olive-green, shaded
with black, more suggestive of Egyptian
hieroglyphics than of modern art, and
surrounding the figure on every side.
The right hand of the angel was shown
as uplifted, but this has been carefully,
destroyed, probably by the Moslems,
after their habit in the early days of
their power. So, also, the face of the
angel, which has been battered so as to
be completely obliterated.
The glory or nimbus above the head, |
painted On orange yellow, still remains,
but little injured. The edge of the;
pool appears to. be indicated by broad
red line, inclosing the painting, and
having all occasional rectangular pro-
lection into tho water, perhaps repre-
senting steps or tho piers for the,
porches. On the east of this fifth;
barreled arch--tho wall extending OF,
right angles-are the remains of an
other figure, also in fresco, much de-;
faced, aud supposed to represent the
Saviour. Above the head, evidently in
tentionally mutilated, is portion OF
The nimbus, and in the lower outer
corner of the painting part Of blue

BEST WAX TO PUT on NosE.GLAssEs.

As there has been shown to be "bess
way" to boil an egg that everyone does
not know, SO there is also u best way Of
putting on ones nose-glasses, provided
Que has como to that pass in age or iu''
trinity where there is Il real necessity for
this supplementary sense. The way most
persons put on their glasses, with thumb
and finger at side of both lenses and with
elbows at right angles to the body, is
neither the easiest nor the most graceful
way. That is as follows: Taking the
glasses in the left hand, slip the tips OF
the first and second fingers through the
spring and then separate them until the
two lenses arc far enough apart to slip
easily over the bridge of the nose. Then
set them on. The simplest, quickest way
in the world, you see. And yet The
Woman has seen only three persons in
all her life who knew how to put their
glasses on in that way.-Ne'O York Sun.

DRESSES OF THE DAY.

It is said that the severely plain skirts
will soon be abolished. The dressmak-
ers do not encourage their continuance,
and already draperies and full backs are
coming back into favor. Dresses are
now made in such great variety of style
that no woman need wear anything not
becoming to her own figure unless she
chooses. The plaincst tailor-made
dresses arc considered the most fashion
able for street wear, although one sees an
astonishing variety of styles and colors
every day. The tai!or-madc dresses arc
composed chiefly of light woods, and
checks and plaids arc at present more
popular than plain goods. They arc
often combined with velvct.-Mao Yor@

WHAT COLORs TO WEAR.

1t is astonishing how few women really
know what colors are suited to their COM
plexions. They may have excellent taste
in other respects, but they will often
wear pink with "auburn" hair, green
with sallow compilations, and various
other inharmonious combinations.
