THERE ARE MANY, PERHAPS,

proof filling of Safes is composed largely
of water. In event of a fire this water
generates steam, keeping the tempera-
ture inside the Safe below the point OF
injury to it's contents. Defective filling
is dangerous.
Some make of Safes, having excessive
moisture in the fre-proof material. cause
what is termed sweating. This IS
very annoying to the owner. The con,
tinued dampness keeps the books and
papers mouldy and they deteriorate UNI
der its influence very rapidly. Such
Safe is to be avoided. Nothing will
permanently remedy it. Only new tl-
ing will cure such defect.
It will pay you to get a HALL .

DANGERS OF "MAKING-UP."
Fatal Results That Have Followed the
Use of Poisonous Cosmetics.

Fatal Results That Have Followed the
Use of Poisonous Cosmetics.
The recent death at Buda-Pesth OF
the popular young actor Louis Bencdek,
who was victim to the dangerous
habit of using deleterious substances iE
''making-up," suggests mention of the
nature and effects of the coloring and
enameling matter usually employed in
the manufacture of cosmetics and hair
dyes. This death is by no means an
isolated case. There are several in
stances of actors, actresses and others
whose practices in this direction have
been attended with fatal results. OF
all the cosmetics in use the most dan.
gerous undoubtedly is the white, which
is usually prepared with carbonate OF
lead. and which not only cauterizes the
skin, but chaps and withers it, produces
wrinkles and warts, entails trembling
fits and colics not infrequently ending
in commissions or paralysis. '.'
DIR. Constantin James relates the case
of a young Partisan actress who was
playing leading part in melodrama.
1t was characteristic of the spirit of her
representation that she should portray
by mimic action feelings of suppressed
anger. This she did by biting her lips
so severely as almost to cause them tc
bleed. In so doing she absorbed the
unusually thick coating of vermilior
with which she had colored them, for.
getting, in the height of her simulated
passion, to apply her handkerchief tc
her mouth. No sooner had she left the
stage than she complained of violent
internal pains and was seized with a fiji
of trembling, betraying the symptoms
of poisoning by mercury. Mile. Mars
the great actress, was in the habit, NJ
to very advanced age, of dyeing heI
hair, in view of presenting youthful
appearance, until Il repeated use of the
dye produced a cerebral Inflammation
which caused her death, after suffering
pain for only one night. - Chicago

1t is common thing to hear of a
locomotive engineer getting ''struck"
on his engine; developing real attach
ment for it, but have you ever noticed
the affection that exists between some
statesmen in piano warerooms for par

statesmen in large warehouse in AL
bany was pointed out to me as man
who is as jealous of a particular instru-
ment as young man is of his first girl.
No one else is permitted to touch it.
He imagines it is the finest toned piano
in the place, and runs his fingers over
the keys in a caressing manner, playing
soft airs and actually gloating over it.
1t makes the other men rather. i'll.
Once when customer wished to pur-
chase it he used all his persuasive powers
in turning the attention Of the customer

tie story is told. One of the survivors
Of Napoleon's old guard, who returned
to his provincial home after Waterloo,
always refused to believe that his IA
nous commander was dead, and insisted
that he would return to France
and power some day. One day it
CHANGED that Prince Napoleon had for
some reason to go through the town at
night and some of the townspeople,
thinking to play off jest on the old
soldier, came to him and told him his
dream had come true, that the emperor
had indeed returned, and was at that
moment passing through the principal
street
Wild with excitement the veteran
rushed off to the spot where the inn
perial escort was slowly making it's
way through the shouting crowd. The
glare of the torches shone upon the
soldiers, and upon bare-headed man
looking out of the carriage window, a
man with the face of the conqueror OF
Austerlitz. The old soldier gave a wild
cry of delight-'Vive Empereur.''-
and fell down fainting. When they
came to raise him, they found he was
dead; he had died happy in the belief
that he had once again looked upon the
face of his old commander.-Chicago

A Simple Remedy for Headache.

Many persons who extend their men,
tai work well into the night, or during
the evening follow attentive y the pro-
gramme of theater or concert, are
awakened in the morning or in the
night with headache. A Swiss doctor
points out that this headache affects
many persons who are quite well other
wise and is due in part to the previous
excessive work of the brain, whereby
an abnormal flow of blood to that organ
is caused; in part to other causes, for
example, too great heat of rooms, con-
tamination of the air with carbonic
acid, exhalations from human bodies
and tobacco smoke. For long time
the doctor was a sufferer from head
ache of this kind. but of late years has
wholly protected himself by simple
means. When he is Obliged to continue
his brain work into the evening or to
remain late in rooms not well venti-
lated, instead of going directly to bed
he takes brisk walk for half an hour
or an hour. While taking this exercise
he stops now and then and practices
lung gymnastics by breathing in and
out deeply few times. When he then
goes to bed he sleep soundly. Notwith.
standing the shortening of the hours Of
sleep he awakens with no trace of head.

BARNUM'S "BRICK MAN."
One of the Great Showman's Ingenious
Attractions.

AS an illustration of one of Barnum's
ingenious methods of attracting atten-
ton to his museum may be mentioned
the incident of the ''brick man One
day man applied for aims to Barnum.
who was sitting in the ticket Office To
the inquiry as to why he did not go to
work, the mendicant replied that he
would gladly do so at dollar day, if
he could find employment. Barnum
gave him twenty-five cents to get his
breakfast, and told him to return, and
he would give him dollar and a half a
day and easy work. When the man re-
turned, Barnum gave him five bricks,
and told him to place one in front of
the museum, another on the corner OF
Vesey street, a third at the corner of
Fulton-on the st. Pauls church side
and the fourth on the east corner OF
Fulton Returning then to the museum
he was to take up the first brick, and
replace it with the fifth, and then con-
tinue his rounds, putting down one
brick and taking up the other each time.
He was enjoined to answer no ques-
tions, and to seem not to hear, and that
at the end of each three-quarters of an
hour he was to psss into the museum,
look around at the curiosities for fifteen
minutes, and then resume his rounds
with the bricks. Barnum says that the
man played his part to.perfectiDn, and
his eccentric conduct caused "a great
crowd. to gather about the museum.
MANY of these, of course, went into the
museum to seek some explanation as to
the purpose of the brick man" This
was kept up for several days, until. the
police requested his withdrawal. he
cause such crowds fingered about the
museum that traffic was interrupted. -

The Protection Goat.

Among the American laborers pro-
tected by the Mckinley Tariff, the
American goat holds a conspicuous
place, Under a recent Treasury de-
cision he is protected to the extent OF
~ cents a pound levied on the hair of
the European William, and even If
tin plate tomato cans are dear, the
wild and enthusiastic denizen of the
trf.ckless suburban building lots still
has a chance to overcome the pauper
competition of the effete monarchies
of the old world.
But however good the tariff may be
for the great American goat in dustry,
it has carried something like dismay
into the ranks of another class of
workers. 1t appears the impost rem
