The Formation of Tumors.

The Oldest theory by which it was at
tempted to account for the origin Of
tumors ascribed it to peculiar state Of
the system, "cancerous diathesis,"
which rendered the tissues of the body
liable to 'scancerous degeneration" The
GREAT answer to this theory is the large
number Of cases now on record in which
complete cure of the disease has been at
tanned by early and thorough operation,
for If the tumor does not return at its
previous site or elsewhere it is manifest
that its cause must have been local
one and must have been removed with
the tumor.
The coexistence of several tumors has
been advanced as proof that there was a
constitutional taint, but more careful
pathological work has shown that in al
most every case it can be proved that
where there are several tumors one is
considerably older than the rest. and
that the latter are secondary and owe
their existence to an infection from the
first The old theory also fails to ex-
plain why the cancerous growth remains
confined to one small portion OF the body
for SO long time; and why, after re-
moval, it persists in returning to the
same locality; whereas both OF these
facts become clear at once on the suppo-
sition that cancer is local disease

THE HANDS.
The Attributes of IA Beautiful Hand and
How to Secure Them.

The Attributes of Beautiful Hand and
How to Secure Them.
The chief attributes of beautiful hand
rs sung by bards and written of by novel
lists In the description of their heroines
seem to be whiteness, smallness or shapeli.
ness. The first and last of these qualifica.
tions can be acquired, although Dame Ma.
ture may have withheld the fairylike pro.
portion SO much admired.
Roughness, hardness and redness are
often attributed to the male hand by writ
ers. In Paradise Lost" there is an alluson
to "his red right hand" Climate also has
great deal to do with the color and text.
ure of the skin. 1t may often be noticed
what white, slim hands are possessed by
American and Anglo-Indian ladies. The
enforced idleness induced by tropical heat.
or other causes pertaining to modes of life
and climate, certainly do produce these
white, slender hands.
A great many whitening applications are
on the market, some being highly lauded.
Before. however, purchasing any unguents,
we would advise ladies to borrow some of
their fathers or brothers evening gloves.
For month or six weeks these gloves
should be worn in bed. Apply any good
whitening preparation, after washing the
AAeNAt, Ah w eAi Ia NdoCi anu uSluR some ROOu
soap. Rub in the whitening unguent,
giving an extra rubbing to the backs of the
hands. Anything OF a greasy nature well
rubbed in tends to fatten, and so thin
hand can be made softer.
Draw the fingers out, and IL the tips are
fiat pinch them persistently, making the
object of the process to obtain a hogbacked
nail. Careful manicuring, of course, makes
the nails themselves pretty, but excessive
manicuring is injurious. Lastly, draw on
the gloves, which naturally will be much
too big, and fasten them as long as no
sense of stopping the circulation is felt.
Glycerin and rose water, mixed in the
proportions of one-third glycerin to two
thirds rose water, is very good for the
hands. The great secret of success in skin
unguents isto find out what suits individ-
ual cuticles and use it,
On going to bed young ladies who suffer
from red arms and elbows, or that ugly ap-
pearance like notified soap, should thor
oughly massage them with their toilet
cream or pomade, and then quickly pow
der with any reliable powder.

BRlc-A-BRAc sAND POTTERY.

In German faience there are silver vases
and fantastic ornaments of every sort for
cabinets.
Wall pockets of German ivory faience,
in shaded creams and pinks are as pretty
as possible.
Blue and white Doulton ware, with its
high polish and gilt outlines, is among the
prettiest pieces of the season.
The pearly, rosy opaline silverware
known as Belleek, is the prettiest thing in
the world for the afternoon tea table.
A very curious cracker jar has ground
that resembles Brussels net. Cracker jars
: of every sort, by the way, are among things
imperative.
In the latest Doulton ware, where grace
full decoration makes it a great favorite,
the carnation and the poppy seem to be the
newest decoration.
Dresden cabinets, brass mounted, are es-
pecially designed for the display Of the
small Dresden statuettes that are brought
over in such quantities that they consti-
tute feature of the season.
Mantel ornaments of Ginori faience take
the form of steps, pedestal with its orna-
ment and an Italian boy or girl leaning
against it. The subdued ooloring of these
pieces, as of all Ginori ware, is most agree

The form of t , Crown Derby bottles and

In the Bevington ware some new rustic
forms have been introduced. These simu-
late bits of hollow logs overgrown with
ferns and lichens. They are especially
hapr .or table decoration. Instead of sill
yer CO Isters these might be substituted as

A Virginia Industry,

A thriving industry at Hampton, Va,
is the canning of hard shell crabs, which
was first begun in the year 1878. About
the list of April the season for these cru
staceans opens, and continues until June.
During that month and July the crabs
are found with spawn, and unfit for can
ming purposes. Then in August the work
begins anew, and from that time until
about the 1st of November the canneries
are kept very busy.
The crabs are caught chiefly with trot
lines and nets. Beef tripe is used for bait
and each line is attended by one man il
\ light skiff. The average daily catr!,
per man in Hampton Roads is from so
- dozen, although $50 dozen catch,
nave been occasionally reported
Large boats go out every day and co
oct the crabs from the fishermen. Up
arrival at the cannery the dead ones an
pawners are thrown away. The othc'S
ire placed in open slat work cars and con-
veyed to wooden steamer having ca
pacity of $50 dozen, into which car
"olled. Steam is then turned on and til"
rabs cooked until they turn red. when
the car is rolled out and the contents
,hoveled into baskets. These are deliv.
red to men technically termed strip
pers," who remove the shells, small
laws, and entrails. These men pass the
cleaned portions to force of women and
children called Fuckers" who take on,
Ill the meat and place it in large pans
The large claws are crushed and the mea
heftly extracted. AS these pickers re-
reive but from two to three cents pound
it naturally follows that they must be
quick and agile workers. The most rapid
pickers can generally prepare about 2;
pounds day, but the average is about lG
pounds. The hard parts and other refuse
are dumped into sheet iron barrels, placed
in scows, and sold to the neighboring
farmers for fertilizing purposes. The up
per shells, which the strippers remove
are carefully cleaned and used as recep
iacles for deviled crabs, being packed UP
and sold with the cans containg the meat
After being weighed, the crab meat is
taken to the "fillers," who pack it in one
and two pound cans. Each pound can i,
estimated to contain the meat extracted
tlohi 90 Sidoo' al olutl W prevent ojolI-
ing in the cans the contents must be very
thoroughly cooked, and consequently
after being sealed these receptacles arc
placed in boiling water for half an hour
Then they are taken out and vented by
piercing small hole in the top of each
and Immediately resealed. After this
they are given final hot water bath, in
which they remain for two hours. An
other process consists in placing the cans
in a strong solution of chloride of lime in
water.
Upward of 100000 crabs are thus
canned each season in the Hampton es-
adjustments, and find ready sale in all
parts of the United States.

An amusing sketch of two lion whelps
which were adopted as pets during the
writer's residence in South Africa is
given by contributor to Forest and
Stream. The lioness appeared to amusc
herself by playing pranks on human
strangers of her own sex, lying in ambush
for them under the dining table.
Fearing that something serious might
occur if | allowed my pets their liberty
any longer, | had a large cage CON
structed, and for the first week or tive
was obliged to spend much time in it with
them. The lioness fretted great deal,
and the only way had of quieting her
was to go in and lie down, using the lion
as a pillow, while she stretched herself
beside me with her head on my chest.
One day the sheriff informed me that
he had summons in his office for me to
serve as juryman. begged off, but he
was memorable. A few days afterward
he rode up to my gate, and l called my
servant to open it for him while hurried
to the lions cage.
Presently heard him calling me, and
on my answering he gradually found his
way to the den, in which | was seated on
the lions recumbent body, while the
lioness sat behind me with her chin rest
ing on my shoulder. AS soon as he saw
me he sprang back, and cried:
"Come out of there !"
"Hand that summons in here, and i.
will do So"
"Do you want my arm torn oIf'
mo, but want you to make legal
service of that pal er by handing it to
me-"
II shall not take any such risk, but l
will tear up the paper if you will only
come out n | save me from seeing you
tor into pieces.
"All right, do so, and Will Try to get
out alive"
The paper was torn up, and / stepped
ont of the cage, much to my friend 8
relief. A short time after l met the
Judge in the street, who wished to know
if my mode of lodging jury duty was the
one commonly practiced in my own
country.

Bricks From Glass.

Plate glass bricks are made from the
sand formed in the grinding of the glass.
The great expense in the manufacture of
plate glass is in the lengthy process of
grinding, the grinding being done by
forward and backward movement of
damp quartz sand over its surface. The
sand rests upon iron plates having an os-
cillating movement. The quartz cuts
into the glass and iron and becomes
mixed with both, and when sharp edges
of the particles of sand are worn away,
tits piled up as worthless. The sand is
said to contain about Is per cent of pull
verified glass and two per cent iron parti
cles. Experiments in the manufacture
of brick from this material have been
attained with most satisfactory results.

Unhappy Wives of the Bonapartes.

Two living examples of the fatality
which seems to weigh upon all the
women whose fortunes have been linked
either by affection or interest," to the
Bonapartes, are not less tragical than the
others. First in point of years and posi-
ton is the ex-Empress Eugene. who
notwithstanding her undoubted nobility,
was looked upon almost as an adventur-
ess when she came to Paris with her
mother from Madrid, where she had
failed to attract any special notice. Her
beauty alone captivated Prince Louis
Napoleon, who, against all the protests
of his political advisers, made her his
consort after the coup detat. For thir-
teen years the life of the empress was
series of triumphs. 1t seemed as though
the golden dream would never end,
when suddenly all her hopes were swept
away with the rapidity and brutality of
a thunderbolt Obliged to quit her
adopted country by the aid of the court
dentist, she has since passed her life in
keeping up semblance of royalty, first
at Chiselhurst and now at Marlborough,
and in wandering from the English mists
to the Mediterranean sun, always mourn
ing over the loss of her former greatness
and the void made in her declining
widowhood by the death of her only son.
If she occasionally visits Paris incognito.
she never has the courage to remain long
in capital where at every step she meets
visions of her former splendor and not a
few reminders of her terrible downfall.
The Princess Clotilda has never oc-
cupied throne, but her life was associ-
ated with Bonaparte who always hoped
that his turn to rule France would event
ually come. There is no reason to sup
pose that her existence would have beer
happier had the political fortunes of her
husband raised her to higher position.
Her marriage with Prince jerome, son
the ex King of Westphalia, was politi-
cal bargain, the price of which was
Italian unifcation by French arms.
Sold by her father when almost child,
sacrificed by her country, deceived and
offended by libidinous husband the
Princess was constantly wounded and
disdained at frivolous court, where her
simple virtues formed striking contrast
those of the butterflies that lowered about
the more brilliant but less straight laced
Empress Eugene. Obliged by the no.
torious misconduct of Prince Jerome to
live apart from him, the Princess Clotilda
retired to the old chateau of Moncalier,
near Turin, where she has resided for
the past twenty years. During this time
she saw her husband rarely, but when
he was taken ill at Rome she did not
hesitate to go to his bedside and show az
admirable devotion to the end. For all
this zeal she had the supreme sorrow OF
finding that she was insulted in the
Princes testament and disinherited OF
property that he owed in great part to
the liberalty of her father and brother
