She Wasn't Particular.

An old lady in Belleville was dying
of a lingering illness, and her pastor
called upon her to administer religious
consolation. After some general con-
versation the minister brought forth
his Bible, and, suggesting that she
might feel consoled by hearing chap
ter read, asked her what part she
would prefer.

reply, "but that story about Samson

The Latest Bang,

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The latest hair bang is called the
Bernhardt bang, and was originated
by q couptryman of the celebrated
actress. Its effect is entirely novel.
All the h~eaviness that false hair usu-
ally brings to the face is banished by
the Bernhard, which has q light
part in the middle of the brow, where
q light fluff falls nearly to the
eyes on each side and forms a
softly curled wave of hair, but
waved with the old prevailing
air of lightness. By the way, this face
artist declares that Bsrnhardt is the
greatest judge of powder of any
woman in the world. She would test
the quality of the powder by taking a
pincn of the cosmetic between her
fingers, crushing it to find out its
quality, pinch by pinch. And while
on the subject of powders, it is just as
well TO state that powder puts are
now being made of enormous size. as
large as the top of an ordinary sugar
basin, the handle being modelled
after the bust of some celebrated per-
son. Sometimes the handle unscrews
and cont aims in it's hidden space
either a supply of powder or eyebrow
pencils and other accessories tor the
oeauty's toilet. These puffs are most
convenient, especially for travel and
for summer sojOurn;ng, where the
aids OF beauty must not be neglected.

Much pain and inconvenience is
experienced by what sounds a simple
ailmeDt or ingrowing toenail. A
little tallow heated hot and poured on
the corner of the toe affected will
allay the inflammation aud render it

then pared away without pain. An
other effectual remedy is found in

An erect bodily attitude is of vastly
more Importance to health than most
people generally imagine. Crooked
bodily positions maintained for any
length of time are always injurious,
whether In q sitting, standing or ly-
ing position, whether sleeping OF

ing forward on the stomach or to one
side, with the heels elevate"
on a level with the hands, is
hot only in bad taste, but ex-
ceedingly detrimental to health. 1t

Lewis V. Bogy was at that time one
OF the senators from the great state OF
Missouri He was a wealthy man, de-
scended from one of the pioneer French
families OF the Mississippi valley, and
was very naughty and proud. He was
. gentleman Of great deal more than

leading men Of his party in the senate.

milton Of any kind to the colored gen.

that he would never recognize Bruce,
and had expressed surprise even that
members of his own party in the SEN

reader will scarcely be able to appreci
ate the bitterness OF feeling which then
existed, without having lived in Wash

with the circumstances of that day. 1t
was not unnatural, and therefore not
reprehensible, for Senator Bogy to en-
terrain and express such sentiments Of
aversion to the presence of q negro In
the senate. Indeed, Mr.. Bruce was the
most philosophical Of men, and did not
