Kansas republicans like Messrs. Bent

joke by spreading abroad the comical
and side-splftting details of refusing to
pay "A coupon, they should add para

for unless they so explain 1t nobody on
earth will suspect its humor or appre-
ciate the fact that Kansas republicans
consider it mirth- provoking to state
that Kansas laughs instead of paying
its honest de BITS.
All the leat ting papers of the state
are earnestly requested to publish the

the letter wit hout an explanation may

Shaving In Dangerous.

We have often heard that shaving the
face with a razor was bad thing; that
1t injured the nerves and caused weak
eyes; that it removed the natural cover
ing from the throat and neck, and that
altogether it was thoroughly physiologi-
cal. A writer in The Medical Classics
has been looking into this matter a little
more closely. BY the aid of micro
scope applied to a closely shaven face he
discovered that the skin resembles a
piece of raw beef. The razor removes
not only the hair, but also a portion of
the cuticle. The blood vessels thus ex-
posed are not visible to the naked eye.
but under the microscope each little
quivering mouth holds drop of blood.
The nerve lips are also uncovered and
the pores are left unprotected, making
the skin tender and unhealthy, and the
person is liable to have colds, hoarseness
and sore throat.

Japanese as Metal Workers.


The Japanese are past masters In the treat
ment Of alloys both in texture and color, and
no better guides exist. They achieve their
grand results by the simplest means-a ju.
dicious blending of various metals. inlaying
and picking. Copper is the basis of their
chief alloys, and by incorporating with 1t
certain proportions OF gold and silver obtain
remarkable results in color through the pick
ling process. But not only do they get
llDg-their mode OF working up the metals
is q thing to be studied. For instance, they
will take six or seven plates of different
metals and alloys, weld them together, and
then, by drilling, punching up and filing, get
a surface In which all the metals show In
manner which Is truly wonderful. By the
range of tints at their command they can
work out on metal surface scenes of ami
NAL life, landscapes, ETC., with effect never
dreamt of by metal-workers in the Western
world. Among some examples recently
shown In England was knife handle, on
which was representation of duck dip
ping its head under the water of stream on
which it was swimming, the arrangement of
the different alloys by which 1t was COM
posed. and the picking being SO well ar
ranged. that the neck of the duck was seen
as under the water, when the handle was
held IN certain light. Another example
was sword hilt on which some minnows
not more than onesixteenth Of an inch in
length, and each having pair of gold eyes,
feet of their being actually below the sur
face of the water being suggested with mar
vellous skill. limitations of wood grain and
marbles were also shown.

background for bunch of spring flow

cherry blossoms, nasturtiums and prim-
roses, as well as wreaths of forget-me-

seen, and mignonette and several other
small and delicate flowers whose names
don't know. Two velvet strings, half
yard long and an inch wide, are fast
ened at the back. Yellow, pink, pale

men and women.
Doubtless one reason for this is the fact
that they are all drawn from life. He
never makes fancy sketches. In the big
wardrobes opening from his studio are
enough handsome dresses to make the
average society girl sigh with envy and
revile fate when she thinks that they will
hang in those wardrobes until the finger
of time has fattened their founces and
dissipated their style. They are dis
turbed only when for few hours Glib
son draws from one of them the inspira-
ton for a society maid or matron.
Besides the careful study which Glib
son gives to made-to-order fashionables
in his studio, he spends good deal Of
time among the realities. But he is
most in his element with the circle Of
brilliant professional people which is al
ways glad to welcome such ameritorious
youngster as Gibson to its fold, and it is
often possible to see portrait of some
well known artist or writer, cleverly
fitted with bored society smile, gazing
from the center of one of his pictures.

The New President of Soro sis

One of DIR. Jennie M. Lozier's pet
theories is that while American women
are generally beautifully kind to their
inferiors-to those to whom they can
condescend-they do not as rule know
how to treat their equals, and DR.. Lozier
believes that the contact and attrition of
club intercourse are valuable remedies
of this defect. She is very enthusiastic
about Sorosis, of which she is president,
where she declares that women help and
are helped, and the exchange reacts ben
e6cially both ways.
