As1oR HOUSE exTRAvAeANcE.
Amusing Complaints OF . Little
Old Woman.

A dear old lady from the country
sat with her son, also from the
country, in the big dining-room OF
the Astor House few evenings ago.
Men who have come to New York
from the country, had they seen her,
would have been reminded of their
grandmothers. Her face was kindly
and there was just little color in
it. She wasn't very tall and her
figure was comfortable. She wore
a shawl. Her bonnet was a little
one, and in the front of it was some
white lace. Her gown was of bonn
bazine and of somewhat ancient
cut. The big, brightly-lighted room
interested her. So did the people
at the tables. While the son was
engaged in the somewhat perplex-
ing task of selecting the supper the
old lady talked amiably with the
waiter. She told him that she hoped
Landlord Astor and Miss Astor were
were pretty we'll. The waiter ex-
planned that Mr.. Allen was the land
lord, whereat the old lady expressed
great surprise. When the waiter
had gone with the order she devoted
a few moments to studying the
chandeliers. They represent can.
dies.
II WONDER" she said, show under
the sun Mis- Allen ever gets up there
to snuff 'em."
"Snuf what?" asked her son.
"Why, them candles; they're SO
high up"
The young man did not answer
The old lady again gazed at the
chandeliers refectively. They amt
no need of all that light" she said
"Mis' Allen must be powerful
wasteful woman"
Her son was apparently man OF
few words. Her criticism was un
noticed.
Presently the waiter brought the
bread and the plates, and what the
old lady evidently thought was
superabundance ofknives and forks
She greeted him pleasantly.
"Back again, hey2" she said
you're pretty quick. But, Horace,
she added to her son, ''you ordered
somethin' more than bread, didn'
your"
"It will be here shortly" put il
the waiter, with polite bow. Th'
old lady gave him a sweet smile
"I'm pretty hungry" she said.
| Several of the diners had over
heard her observations. Some o
them were hard-faced business men
They didn't laugh at her. They
only regarded her with lively inter
est. She smoothed out the table
cloth carefully and inspected th'
silver evidently with approval.
The waiter brought the meal ane
gave the old lady close attention
which pleased her immensely. She
smiled on him and asked after the
health of his family. AS she rose
from the table she said to him
Tell Mis- Allen I'd like to have
her recipy for that snow puddin'
but I'm in hurry"
The waiter bowed and said grave
ly that he would do so. And as th'
old lady passed out of the door on'
of the diners raised a glass of win'
and exclaimed: 1.-THE old lady

ETnI0PIAns MADE WHITE.
Doctors Say This Can Be Done Through
the Transplanting Of Skin.

for the skinning operation, surgical
skill is equal to the feat of turning
a negro's skin permanently white.
The question OF the transposition
of color in the cuticle of the two
races has been given local and pc
culiar interest by an experiment in
the grating Of the skin of a negro
upon white man, just performed
by DR.. John Edge of Reading.
The experiment of DR.. Ege was
made for the purpose of healing a
wound on the leg of a white man,
and if it succeeded in this it was all
that was expected of it. Not only
did it do this, but as the wound be-
gan to heal Dr.. Ege was surprised
to notice the thirty particles of
black skin transplanted were grad
ually losing their color, and by the
time the wound had entirely healed
the new surface was as white as if
the cuticle belonged by nature to
the spot to which it was trans
planted. The result was surprising
to the doctor, because medical men
have hitherto declared that colored
skin, wherever transplanted, would
retain its color. 1t seems. probable
now, therefore, that some of the
theory of skin grating may undergo
a change, and that in the future
one may be enabled to change ones
skin as easily as the Partisan belle
the color of her hair.
A physician, in seriously discuss
the matter, said yesterday that the
original cause of the difference in
the color of the skin of different
races is still matter of some dis
pute. Some authorities on the sub
ject maintain that it is attributable
solely to climate. In contradiction
of this, however, other authorities
prove that the dark color of the skin
does not depend upon geographical
position, nor even altogether on
racial purity, by the fact that the
extremes of the chromatic scale are
found throughout the whole negro
domain.
DR.. J. V. Shoemaker, the eminent
dermatologist of this city, in speak
ing of the result Of DR.. Eyes expert
ment, said that, in his opinion, q
negro's skin grated upon white
man would probably lose its color
the process of cutting disturbing the
cells containing the coloring matter
DR.. H. G. Boeuning, demonstratol
of anatomy at the Medico-Chirurgi,
cal College, also holds this opinion
but at the same time says it is i'm
perative that the particles Of skin
transplanted should be very mi
mute, as in the case of DR.. Ege's
experiment. DR.. Boeuning also
said that while colored skin trans.
planted on a white person will
lose its color and become white
white skin grated upon a negro
would never become black. From
this it will be seen that although q
negro might possibly be turned
white, those white persons who are
so enamored of the soft glossy, unc-
tuous epidermis of the negro as to
desire change are debarred by
nature from indulging their pecu.
liar taste.-Philadelphia Record.

She Bore Witness.

East Tennessee one pleasant Sun
day morning soon after the war,
curiosity prompted me to 60 inside.
1t chanced to be an old-fashioned
Methodist "class meeting" and the
simple-minded worshippers were
telling their "experiences." The
scene was amusing and the COM
ico-seriousness Of the speeches al
most forced one to laugh. Shortly
after my entrance an embarrassing
lull took place in the exercises. 1t
proved, however, to be only a calm
before storm; for just as the sus-
pense reached the point of oppress-
|iveness huge brother named Gull
liver, rose to his feet, and as Tom
Reed was not then Speaker, was
given the floor. Said Mr.. Gulliver :
"My brudders and sisters. dun

"Dat's So" was whispered quite
audibly all over the house, for"brud.
der Gulliver's" shortcomings were
known to the congregation, appar'
emily, quite ss we'll as to himself.
After a brief rest, in which to
collect his ideas, the good brother
resumed, with a change of tactics
however: "De lawd say yer go'

Having thus revealed his "true in
wardness," brother Gulliver tool
his seat, wiped the sweat from his
ebon brow, and was subsiding into
state of statuesque repose wheI
an elderly and sedate looking sister
rose up in a far corner of the room
and assuming a voice and look
that were at once majestically sol
emn and severely pious," remarked

his physician that he might be carried

held rose in her hand and slowly
scattered the petals about her to the

as his choicest treasure, the petals
which fell upon the carpet from the

WOMEN AT THE WORLDS FAIR.

WOMEN AT THE WORLDS FAIR.
lnasmuch as a woman had SO
large hand in the expedition from
Spain in 1892, the women of the
United States have formed a Queen
Isabella Association. This associ
alton is to do active work in con.
nection with the Worlds Fair in
1893. 1t is not desired TO set apart
woman's work by itself, and thus
make incomplete the arrangement
Of exhibits in the various depart
lnenrs, but rather to have a careful
investigation of work entered aud
report made for the purpose of
practical information on progress of
women in any direction.
The Isabella Association has al
ready determined upon an Isabella
Pavilion and statue. The statue is
to he done by Harriet Hosmer. The
Pavilion will be headquarters for
any association of women which
shall guarantee a sufficient sum
and rooms will be set apart for their
use. 1t is TO have an emergency
department in charge of skilled at
tendants. A room is to be used As
a day nursery where mothers may
come with their children for rest, or
to leave little ones in competent
care while they enjoy to the full tue
consequent freedom.
