Fixing Up Ininrsl Dolls.

a little girl not long since wrote to
the New York Nc,cs to know where she
could get new head for her tlollic,
which she dearly loved. she was fur.
nishcd with the information through the
"Answcrs to Correspondents column.
The reporter, thinking that there might
be many other little girls whose dolls
needed hospital treatment, made some
investigation about the subject. He
found that dolls could he furnished, be.
sides heads, with new arms, legs. wigs
and eyes, and the latter, when they re.
fused to close when bedtime came, could
be made to do so.
Heads for French dolls with real hair
may be had for from $l.50 to $5, while
those for German dolls are wortl, from
thirty-fvc cents to So. so. Tho eyes of
French dolls are stationary, but when
the movable eyes of the German dolls gc.
out of order they can bc mcndcd at n
cost Of from thirty five cents to ST.. The
heads of both classes ri dolls are of
bisquc, but the French heads are much
liner, being nearly transparent, and the
faces much more beautifully nodded.
Sometimes these heads are furnished
with cal rings. Wigs of real hair cost
from fifty cents TO 50.
The German dolls are the finest TINT
are made, and range in price from few
dollars to 800, or even more when nc.

extensive wardrobe.

Take the work in the engraving iivi-
sion Of the Government Bureau of En-
craving and Printing, for instance, ms
CHS is whore the manufacture OF papcr
money begins. No ono cngravcr ever cuts
the entire platc from which bank noto
is printed. For instance; one man On i.
graves the portrait, another does tho let

counters that Indicate the denomination
OF tho note; another II section of the or.
namcntal border, for this is mover en-.
gravcd in full; still another Is engaged
on the seal, and finally the work of all
must be carefully scrutinizcd and the fin
ishing touches added before the plate can
be sent to the printer.
The reason why SO much care is ncccs
sary is to guardagainst comntcrfciting, for
the more perfect the plntc is in every
part, the morcdillicult it is for one or any
number of persons to initiate it.

weeks TO finish upa portrait, and after
that he must put in tho background,

LIFE OF A s1LLloNArnr's pAuourEn,

MIR. c. p. Huntington finds it hard to
ibidc the loss of his foster daughter, who
recently married Prince Hatzfeldt. Tho
young lady was dcvotedly attached to the
railroad magnate, and accompanied him
very frequently in his trips across the
country. He always had private chr,
with plenty of servants to make the
journey careless, and delighted to have
fresh flowers strewn about and hung in
the wnll-pocscts of the rolling parlor.
Frequent kilograms were sent ahead, and
SO profuse were the bouquets and floral
pieces handed to the young lady in the
depot that lookcrs-on invaribly took her
for bride. She was tall, slender girl,
in beauty and carriage enough like Mrs.
Langtry to provoke comment. Her
clothes were the perfection of fit and
texture, and. while travelling, rs many
and quite as elaborate toilets were made
as though she were at homc.-Ne,o YORK

The girl was then chloroformed and had
her nose removed, but before that was
done cast was made of the feature and
false nose in enamel constructed, which
was placed over her face when the band
ages were removed. The patient re-
covered and preserved her beauty, and
no one except herself and the good doc

silver centrc-picce which is being manu-.
featured for the Queen, and which CON

A FAMOUS FLOWER GIRL.

Jockey Cluo, in Paris, is in bankruptcy
and her ilower-shop for sale under an exc
cutioa. she was parsonage under the
Empire, nobody knew why. She wore
her fancy costume with bold grace, and
stood at the door of the Jockey Club, or
at the foot of its tribune at the Long
champs stand house. When she handed
n bouquet to Il winning member, he was
expected to pay her in gold, and nearly
always did. Her discretion kept her
from ever offering her wares to those who
lost, but they often volunteered to buy
them, and sometimes paid higher for
them than their winning friends. Isabelle
was for years favorite of the Jockey
Club. She was plain, but not disagree
ably So The Empress patronizcd her
and counted her one OF the 'rarc person
mes honnetcs" that she came across after
her elevation to the throne. She had u
buckle OF enameled gold, with her mi
tials in brilliants, which Eugene sent her
to fasten the little plume which she wore
in her hat when she went to Longchamps
as flower girl to the Jockey Club.-Mc,o

POISONED ny SILK IN HER EARS.

Miss Cyrena Alice Boyd, young lady
aged nineteen years, whose parents reside
in Yolo County, died recently underpecu-
liar circumstances. A few weeks ago
she was visiting friends in San Francisco,
and while there had her cars pierced.
She was very particular to urge that white
silk be inserted in the puncturc, but the
thread finally used contained some color
ing matter. A day or so after the opera
ton Miss Boyd returned to her parents
home in Yolo. Within n few DAYS she
experienced soreness about the ears, but
did not regard the matter as of much con-
sequence. One day she and her sister
happened to be out in a shower and Miss
Boyd took cold. The effect of the cx-
posure began to manifest itself in her cars,
already swollen and sore. Then she be-
came alarmed, and, upon her fathers adj
vice. she came to this city to secure medi-
cal attention. Her ears swclled rapidly,
the swelling extending to her face, and
finally one of her eyes was closed com
pletely. Erysipelas set in, blood poison.
ing followed, and then it was evident that
her life was beyond the power of saving.
A consultation of doctors was ordered,
but death came about 4 80 o'clock that
afternoon.-San Francisco Examiner.

Twin sisters celebrated their seventy
seventh birthday anniversary at Ipswich,
Mass, the other day. A local paper
states that so remarkable was their re-
semblanco to each other that the parents
were often called upon to distinguish
them to visitors. Their tastes were also
similar, and have been so through life,
and even at the age of scventy-scvcn it
is said they dress alike and have like
hess to each other which is unusual, even
in twins. Both began life as workers in
the old Ipswich lace factories, and were
slually skillful in their art.
