STANLEY AND THE SAvAGEs.

ness of Resource.
New York SUM-
Herbert Ward tells a story illustrating
Stanley's readiness of resource in dealing
with crafty savage trying to overreach
him. When the explorer reached Stanley
Pool on his last expedition the big Bateke
Chief Ngalyema, who figured conspicuously
in Stanley's book on the Congo State, came
to him demanding a big present on the
ground that some of his carriers had taken
bananas from his plantation. Stanley had
good reason to believe the willy ivory trader
was lying, and he did not propose to fall
into his trap. Almost any one else would
have told the Chief he was a prevari-
Gator, and there would have been an angry
discussion and bad feeling on all sides; but
that was not Stanley's way. He at once
summoned all his men into line, and walked
up and down in front of it with the Chief,
asking him to pick out the culprits. Ngal-
yema said he could not do it.
snow look here, Ngalyems," said STAN
ley, show can pay you for stolen bananas
unless you give me proof that my men have
stolen them; and how can / punish thieves

minute"
Stanley withdrew into his tent and pres
emily emerged with piece of chalk. "See
here, Ngalyema,' he said, "this little thing
in my hand makes a white mark on the
black skin. Take it. The next time you
catch my men stealing your bananas you
mark the thieves on the back with this piece
of chalk. Then will know who the thieves
are, and can punish them, and 1 will pay
you for the bananas they have stolen"
The chief was not quite empty handed
when he went away, for he had the chalk.

self. It was quickly done. First the face
is sponged with hot water and dried. Then
something out of bottle was carefully ap-
piled and allowed to dry, and over this
layer of another mixture was rubbed on.
This gives smooth aud white appearance
to the skin. The cheeks were artistically

clared enthusiastically that II was beauti-

up admitted this, and said that another
drawback to enameling was that the wearer
mustn't laugh or it would crack. ''Indeed,"
she said, "ladies of fashion don't smile
much, for laughter is destructive to certain
sorts of makeup; enameling is only for even
ing. It's too plain for sunlight"
She assured me that all she had used was
purely vegetable, but one doesn't always
care for a vegetable plaster. Vegetables are
nice at dinner; beet root is better in a salad
than on ones face in the shape of rouge.

was then observed with much interest that
she raised her arms and detached from her
head the fashionable hat that become her

under the radiant lights it fairly flashed in
its beauty. The old gentleman sitting be-
hind her settled back comfortably in his
chair, and congratulated himself that he had
been placed behind such a thoughtful
creature, for now could he not only see the
stage but splendid head of hair as we'll.
Presently two or three young women in
the immediate vicinity quietly removed
their hats, having noted the admiration

Beauty is a source of nonsense and hum
bug as we'll as admiration. For instance,
there is Mabel Jenness. Nature made her
handsome, and now, taking advantage of
that fact, she is telling other women that
they may look as we'll as she does. OF
course she takes pains to get good pay for
her impossible advice. She serves as
lecturer and model at once, and her listen
ers are often foolish enough to believe that
by going through with a lot OF physical ex-
ertion and mental discipline they may
change their visages from ugliness to lowell
ness.
Miss Jenness is making a comfortable
fortune out of this illusion. 1t has become
fashionable to hear her. don't know that
she is to Je blamed particularly for taking
her beauty to that sort of a market for sale.
Beside, 1 can tell something to her credit.
Probably not one woman in the audiences
that throng to hear this apostle OF beauty
culture, is aware that the inmates of a Door
house were her first hearers. AT the age OF IL
Miss Jenness was a timid retiring creature
and half an Invalid, as she suffered intensely
at times from nervous disorder that puz-
zled the physicians and cost her many weary
days and sleepless nights. Under her tim
1dlty, however, was a determined spirit, else
she might have been always an invalid.
MABEL JENNEss AT SCHOOL.
AS it was, she entered the Boston School
OF Oratory, hoping to find partial relief at
least from her suffering by the help OF the
required physical exercise and the dbsorp-
tion OF her mind in something outside of
her pain. But it was not an easy task that
she had undertaken. The daily oratorical
drills before the class were a terrible ordeal
for her timid nature, and practice at home
was no less painful. Her famous sister,
Mrs. Jenness- Miller, had been a graduate
OF the school and at this time was in the
front rank of platform speakers. Mis- Jen-
ness found it impossible to practice before
her with any credit or profit to herself, her
sensitive fear Of ridicule making her awk-
ward and constrained in the extreme. For
while she treated the birds and SQUIRRELS
OF her lovely suburban home with daily
specimens Of her skill, but she needed to

orchestra. Each gentleman, as he received

after which he passed it to his immediate
neighbor. In few moments the paper came
back to the old gentleman that had started
IL on its travels. Bending forward he
politely addressed the golden-haired girl,
handing to her, at the same time, the paper.
She read it, and, as she did so. deep blush
and a smile crept over her face. The paper
was vote of thanks signed by 30 or more
Of the male spectators. Its text was as
follows:
1--WE, the undersigned, desire to express
our respectful admiration for most beauti-
ful and conslderate young lady, name not
known, who, by removing her hat from her
bright golden head, has set the fashion for
others, thereby rendering it possible for a
delighted audience to witness the details of
stage performance"
The pretty girl cast radiant smile over
her shoulderat the old gentleman behind and,
folding the paper, tucked it into the front
of her dress by the side of bunch of
pansies. And everybody was happy.

A Philnnihropic Genius Suggests That They
Be Executed by Electricity.
New York Sum-
A correspondent noting that the dragon
fly scheme of destroying mosquitoes isn't
a success, suggests electricity. He pro-
poses by hanging enormous clusters of
electric lights beyond the outskirts of the
city to lure thereto the whole of the neigh
boring insect population. To the ingenuity
of this gentleman is allied commendable,
if somewhat sanguinc, commercial instinct,
for he adds: arrangements might be made
for collecting these after they had commit
ted suicide, as they ell do. by flying at the
lamps, and it is probable that they could be
sold as fertilizers fOF a sum large enough to
pay the cost of maintaining the lights"
He states that when the arc lamps were
first introduced into New Orleans the entire
insect population OF the nelghboring swamps
focked to the city. The region beyond the
radius of the lamps was clear of the
nocturnal tormentors, while the sidewalks
and roads around each light were strewn
every morning with dead and dying.

suspense was too horrible and he attempted
slyly to reach his revolver. At the first
stealthy movement the watchful grizzly

other upon his arm, and tore out the biceps

that when he regained consciousness the

HER GENEROUS ApMIRER.

A young Frenchman of title has become
noticeably ardent in his devotion to a girl
who is a shining beauty mark in society,
and gossip has had it that the engagement of
the pair would soon be made public. The
young lady had confded to her chum that
her admirer was the sweetest man in the
whole world, and among his many virtues
he possessed the one that she demanded
most in q mamie was generous to a fault.
Knowing that she was fond of flowers, he
sent to her each day wealth of the most
expensive ones to be found. When roses
were most expensive he inundated her with
them, and converted her boudoir into
fragrant bower of rare and beautiful plants.
One afternoon the chum was calling, and rs
the two sat together in the blossoming room,
the Frenchman's floral offering was brought
in by q servant. The delighted girl sprang
for the basket and buried her happy lace in
its soft sweetness.
isn't he dear" cried she to her friend,
plucking regal rose and pinning it to her
breast after bestowing upon it raptnrous
kiss.
CRUSHED BY A LITTLE NOTE.
Just then she discovered note tucked
snugly among the flowers, and with blush
and an apology she tore open the envelope.
As she read, her face grew grave and pale,
and her hands trembled violently.
"Oh, what has happened, Alice?" cried
her friend, springing forward and putting
her arm about the suffering girls waist.
Alice looked with wild eyes at the note and
then thrust it into the hand OF her friend.
"Read," she gasped.
The note was certainly painfully dis
illusiouing. 1t was as follows: "Will you
not try to make the young man who sends
you these flowers pay me his bill. He has
given me nothing Tor all the baskets have
sent since many months ago. The bill is
very large and L am much in need of money.
When ask him he says go to the devil. 1

ago, and Alice's chum has almost succeeded
in making the disappointed girl believe
that she would never have been happy mar
ried to man of his deceptive methods.

SHOWING BLACK VEINS,

"Beauty is skin Deep" and the manufae-
turers OF face powders have made many and
costly experiments in their search after a
preparation which will serve to make visi-
BILE the blue veins sometimes seen beneath
skins OF certain texture. These are justly
considered great mark of beauty, and
that q face powder having the power to
bring them out in delicate tracerv Of a
faint, almost imperceptible blue, would
have an extensive sale, goes without say
ing. But the operation is not so simple as
might be imagined.
The skin is first treated with paste, said
to have been invented by a monk at the
command of Pope Leo X, who had very
beautiful hands and was very desirous Of
having the blue veins show plainly. or
course that is fol-de-rol. After an applica-
tion of this magic paste" the powder must
be used. The effect is startling. The only
drawback to this invention is that it en-
ables the most ordinary parvenu, the
merest upstart who may not know the name
of her own grandfather, to pose as the "blue-
blooded" scion of aristocracy, and unglove
a hand which might have graced the arm of
duchess or even princess. 1t behooves
the so-called "reined woman" the real
'gentlewoman, to cast about for some other
distinctive mark by which she may still
hold fast to her prerogatives. 1t would
seem that the "blue-veined" hand, cheek
or brow is no longer the sign of noble blood.
Anybody may now exhibit her "blue veins
while she measures off yard of ribbon for
you.

But how to get the spring festival over

five good assistants, she has built up pay
ing business. This woman has struck a
long felt want, and if she does not fall into
the shiftless, exasperating ways of men,
when employed to do household jobs, she
will be treasure indeed.
Another woman who in England was in
structed in carpentry at an industrial
school and was skilled in the use of kit of
tools, has found steady employment in
doing odd jobs about houses that men are
always going to do. but never fnd time for.
She mends bedsteads. chairs, tables, cures

drawers work properly, puts in casters, oils
hinges, puts up blinds to work smoothly,
sets aud files locks, does all the little repair
ings and glueing, and mendings that are

proper tools, but are SO clumsily managed
by one who is inexperienced One OF her
employers says 'iShe is so handy, she is
worth dozen men and she never leaves any
dirt" She gets 50 80 day with lunch and
dinner. and who would not be glad to
give it to have all the little jobs done up SO
beautifully?
