ing up of compilations has never been wit
messed before and everybody but the girls
themselves have been bothered to find out
what the cause of the heightened eoloring
might be. The envious have mentioned
rouge and the good-natured souls have won-
dered if the spring atmosphere did not con-
tain an ardent influence that was felt only
by the cheeks of pretty girls.
The secret came out the other daY. That
blush originated with the return Of GER
tain beautiful young married woman from
Egypt, where she has been living with her
husband, who is an army officer in the En-
glish service, for some years. When she
arrived the whole world went into ecstacies
over the bloom of her cheeks. Finally,
after several days OF triumph, the lady Of
the bright complexion declared that her
lustrous charm was occasioned BY cosmetic
used in the Khedive's harem, which is not
paint or a dye, but an irritant which, prop
erly applied, draws the blood to the skin IN
brilliant blush which no amount of wash
ing will take off understand that it burns
considerably, hut no girl is going to object
to q small Inconvenience of that sort when
so much ioveliness is to be secured.
The pluck of the proceeding does not
equal that very original beauty whom
have heard of as going into the country the
other day and sitting in the sun, wearing q
cloth mask that hid all parts of her face ex.
cept the tops of the cheeks and temples. At
the wedding she attended that evening her
complexion was so much rarer than the
brides that the groom looked away from
his prize, and the best man almost forgot
his role in contemplation of her beauty.
The art Of red cheeks is certainly develop
ing in strange ways. CLARA BELLE.

where. Indeed, so thoroughly at home do
Pittsburg artists feel. at Scalp Level
that they exercise during the sum-
mer months kind of proprietary
control over the village. 1t is one of the
peculiarlties OF human nature that when
one retains possession Of unlimited privileges
for many, many years, that which was at
first accepted as a privilege is looked upon
almost as a right. It is thus that the artists
have taken possession of Scalp Level.
They are for few months of each year
rank Socialists. They object to new houses
being built in the village. New houses
knock all the quality out of a landscape.
They oppose the farmers right to build new
fences around his farm. New fences are an
abomination. They file formal protest
against the cutting of rings around the
beech trees on Paint creek. The farmer
wants the ground for potato patch. They
strenuously oppose the painting of signs on
fences ana barns, and thus far in their op-
position they have been successful.
HERE Is A SECRET.
The last fence sign painted in Scalp Level
was a mammoth affair. It was boot and
shoe sign, advertising Johnstown house.

PUT YOURSELF IN HER PLACE.

II read the article on servant girls in The
DISPATCH last Sunday" said very intelli-
gent girl to a reporter yesterday. "It's not
all one-slded, assure you. or course there
are bad servant girls, but there are bad
misttesses, too. The ladies who can't keep
servant girls don't know how to treat them.
Have you ever thought of following
Charles Reads proposition of Put yourself

agination only one day in the home of a
family OF moderate means, consisting of
four or five members in the family, and you
will be astonished at the continued demands
on her time and attention. The servant
starts by lighting the gas for the prepara-
tion of the morning meal, the tinkling of
bell warns her she is wanted elsewhere; she
is striking the match-the bell again, this
time it is for hot water, which OF course she
cannot furnish. She is reprimanded in the
form of why have you not got hot water,

some remark: 'Whyl that is what they are
paid to DO That is true, of course, but
when there is lack of consideration and
want of knowing the value of time on the
part OF the mistress, there can be no other
result but defective service.
Another great mistake that many poor
managers make is in not having a system in
providing what Is needed for the table, de-
pending on the corner store, be it grocery or
meat market, because it is so near the pur-

The letters were each at least three feet long.
While the artists worked on the streams and
in the woods, the sign painters labored with
equal diligence from morn till night at the
ience sign. If the painters of one class felt
satisfied at the end of the day, reviewing
their landscapes with complacency, the
painters of the other class experienced no
less satisfaction in viewing the brilliant
colors of their shoe sign. 1t was good
sign, and the workmen packed their buckets
and brushes under the seat of a buggy and
drove away conscious Of work we'll done,
The artists came trooping home with their
camp stools and paint boxes on their backs
and there was CONSERVATION on every face.
There was an ominous silence during the
evening meal and nervous and irritable
feeling filed the village. The rights of the
artists had been defed and their sensibili-
ties outraged. The vorkmen even had the
audacity to secure the property owners
permission to occupy his fence with o sign.

SMOKING IN VENICE.

Tart Observation of n Little Girl Upon the
Habit of the Ladies'
Youths Com panion.1
1t is the all but universal custom among
the fashionable ladies of Venice of the
present day to smoke cigarettes, both when
alone and in company. The hostess a a
ball among the nobility receives her guests
with cigarette between her fingers, and
all the lair danes smoke in the pauses of
the dance.
The wife of the son of Robert Browning,
an American lady, created a profound sem
sation in Venetian society last yeaf by de-
clarng that she would not invite ladies to
smoke at her house, and the little daughter
of another American lady unconsciously
uttered severe criticism upon the custom.
The mother was visiting an Italian woman
of title, and in her honor ball was given
in the palace OF the hostess. The little
girl, who was years old, was taken by her
nurse from her bed to gallery where she
could look down into the ballroom after the
company had assembled. She looked at the
brilliant sight for a moment in silence, and
then asked, in much wonder.
"Where are the ladIes?"
"Why, the hall is full of them" answered
the nurse.
"Oh no, said the child. call those women
but mamma are smoking"

offers to pay five dollars to any person
troubled with bloody fux, who will take
ChamberlaIn's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhea
Remedy according to directions and does
not get well in the shortest possible time.
One half of 25-cent bottle OF this remedy
cured him of bloody fux, after he had tried
other medicines and the prescriptions of
physicians without benefit. Mr.. McCabe is
perfectly safe in making this offer, as more
than thousand bottles OF this remedy are
sold each day and it has never been known
to fail iu any case of collie, cholera morbus,
dysentry, diarrhoea or bloody fux, when the
plain printed directions were followed.

in his newspaper, but becoming unpleasant
ly aware OF the big geyser discharging near
by, looked up to reconnoiter. Intensely
disgusted and casting an angry glance at
the horseman, he opened his newspaper
and spread it over the lady's lap and feet.
The offender stared an instant, then UNDER
standing the situation, resumed his story
and his stops.
Now, if the mental batteries of about 15o
scientists could have have been concentrated
on that fellow and reduced him to a Juice

thusiastic transcendentalists most of that

bacco curers could have preserved such Q
hard-rinded specimen.
NO HELP FOR HER.
A scene one often witnesses in Broadway
is the legitimate outgrowth of that false
modesty SO common in this country. A
lady will be permitted to go her way along
that busy thoroughfare with some tape or
string spelling the effect of her toilet, and
no one will call her attention to the fact.
Everybody will take look at her. Among
men the custom Is to be almost too kind to
each other.
"SIr," said kind-hearted New Yorker to
stranger beside him in street car, your
tie has slipped up over your collar"
I don't wear q colIarT' was the gruf
reply.
But women are 50 afraid of each other that
one will be permitted to wander about
picture gallery for an hour with some string
or tape or fastening hanging down and no
one will inform her of the fact. Us mean.
Suppose she does 'turn all colors" when
told OF it, she can't be otherwise than thank
full when she coo1s down. 1 don't say that
a man or woman either has the right to stop
lady in the street and say: Excuse me,
Madam, in putting on your eyebrows this
morning you got one on crooked;" or 'tEI-
cuse me. Madam, your shoe is united"
There are things that had better be lett un-
done, but it's SO hard to draw the line.

the years go by-never hesitating to 60 back

generaIize beyond the latter number.
In those days Clear Shade and Roaring
Fork were famous for their mountain trout,
and the road leading to the mountain
streams lay through Scalp Level. A mid
day halt for dinner afforded the sportsmen
an opportunity to take more than passing
glance at the unknown village, and the eve
of Mr.. Hetzel, always on the alert for
scenes of natural beauty, was quick to dis
cover here the rarest qualities OF the pictur-
essue. From that day TO this Scalp Level
has been the Barbizon of Pittsburg.
THEY THINK THEY OWN IT.
Painters go elsewhere and find excellent
subjects and beautiful qualities in nature,
but they return to this, in many cases their
first love, snd find on every hand subjects
which are equal to any discovered else

i've. But some of them are born to the
purple, and their unworldly maxims and
nun-like airs, ccntrasted with their luxu-
rious attire, are no less bewitching than be-
wildering to the uninitiated.
When such names, however, as Mrs.
Cyrus Field and Mrs. Pierrepont Morgan
are cited as deciples the locker on feels a
certain respect for them and for it, though
it be altogether beyond her reason. When,
moreover, these curious people declare that
they cure the tobacco habit in its most in
veterate forms, every lady In the land turns
an attentive ear and feels rising hope of q
good time coming. Especially so that large
class of daintily attired women who are
obliged to patronize the elevated railroads,
where it is often impossible to find a decent
spot to sit in or to stand on owing to the
presence of the splitting fend.
AN INTERMITTENT GEYsER.
The other day lady, so prettily and
delicately costumed she looked as il she had
stepped from picture where the artist had
painted poets dream OF fair women, was
utterly dIscomforted and disgusted by this
cause. She occupied cross seat in Sixth
avenue train when two fashily-dressed men
took the seat across the aisle facing her.
The man next the aisle began describing
wonderful horse, punctusting his discourse
by food Of tobacco juice directed toward
the lady. At the first shower she pressed
her skirts together with her fastidiously
gloved hand. At the second, which came
nearer, she tucked them about her feet and
held them with both hands. The man
seemed to try how close he could come to
her without hitting her. A gentleman on

young men with ambition and brains said.
I'll were young men with SIC, 600 or
500, 900 I'd go to Africa and make million,
in the rubber trade. There is a town called
Taboto, on the river Congo, near the north
ern boundary of the Congo Free State
distant about 700 miles from the Guinea
Coast. You can buy rubber there so.dav
at a penny pound. A young man MIGHT
go there and pay cents pound for it and
still make fortune"
Would you advise a young man In mn

$40, O,OO0?' 'AAA
well, that would depend upon the vouno
man. I went to California with a nartv of
young fellows from my native State-Con-
necticut-and when we reached Sacramento
the first thing they did was to spend "a

CHAIRMAN POTTER WILL RESIGN.
He Will No Longer be at the Head of the
Illinois Steel Company.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.I
CHICAGO, March 20.-At the meeting of
the directors of the Illinois Steel Company,
in New York, during the latter part of this
month, o. w. Potter will formally resign
from the Craftsmanship of the Executive
Committee. His son, Mr.. E. C. Potter. will
at the same time resign from the Office of the
Second Vice Presidency. Both designations
will take effect on April 1. In order that
the board might be prepared to fill the
vacancies, Mr.. Potter deemed it advisable
to notify several of the principal stock
holders in advance. This information evil
IDENTIFY leaked out and increased as it spread,
until it spread in proportions large enough
to create sensation in commercial circles
and materially depress the market price of
the stock of the company.
The resignation of Mr.. Potter from the
active management OF this company is only
carrying out a course that was adopted
when the present company was organized,
and the necessity thereof confirmed by his
medical adviser last summer. Mr.. Potter
has been the managing head of this institu-
tion from the infancy of the North Chicago
Rolling Mill Company, covering period
of 33 years, during which he was unable
to absent himself from his duties for any
length of time This const mt and con-
tinuous strain upon his nerve forces has
made it injudicious for him to continue in
the active management of this gigantic
concern any longer. The announcement
that either of the retiring gentlemen has
disposed of his stock in the company is
uufounded
