A Young Woman Writer Discourses on
 an Important Part of Man.

d Young Woman Writer Discourses on
 an Important Part of Man.
 Why do young men take such pride in their mustacheS2 It is, suppose, be- cause they think ! musteche is orna- mental Is it? Why do men have clean shaven lips when they could grow mus taches? And why do men wear half a dozen straggling hairs when they ought to have them shavedoff2 Why will men continue to spend hours every day in training the hair on their upper lip, when it doesn't make thcm look any more handsome. when it is annoying to their sweethearts by scratching their checks, when it prevents cigar being smoked more than half through, and when 1t shows horrid propensity for getting mixed up with the food?
 don't think mustaches are orna. mental. The ideal mustache has yet to be invented It must not draggle, nor be used as a shield to hide ones bad teeth, nor be fierce And oh, it must not be waxed or leaded! What do men say of women who use grease? When you are enjoying a spoon don't you think 1t takes all the romance out of the thing by having a nasty, cosmeticized piece of hair edge its way against yonr lips? And isn't 1t exasperating when your lover leads his mustache and never tells you? You go home with your face like metropolitan extension map, and feel very uncomfortable when father and mother say there have been q lot of smuts about, for your face hes got quite dirty
 No, mustaches are neither useful nor ornamental. Were a man and capa- ble of growing a most luxuriant mus tache ] would cut it off. A clean shaven man looks much the incest Girls like a beardiess face. They are content to know that whiskers and all the rest could be there if they were wanted. You see, q man with mustache is generally a bit of flop, and girls don't like fops. If a man doesn't keep it trimmed it gets struggling and ragged; if be does keep 1t trimmed then he appears conceited, He is eternally twisting 1t this way giving it curl that way, stroking it and batting it, un- til he loses all character for manliness.
 Now, clean shaveu man seems to be dignifed Women love dignity. Why is it they are always so fond of curates
 especially high church and actors? Simply because they shave. Women want in men smooth, clear cut face- not with great bunch of hair stuck out under the nose. Whoever heard of the Greeks having mustaches? Whoever saw a statue of a Greek god with q mustache unless he were an old god and wore a beard as welli
 Mustaches are not ornamental, be. cause they rarely suit the face, because they are a protuberance and hide the outline of the mouth, and because, with mustache, a man is frightened to laugh, as it disarranges it. Only few women care for them. Men think all women do That is mistake. IA Fair Critic" in London Tit-Bits.

rhh Arehduke,a rknerimont.

The friends of Archdulse Joseph, of Austria, have had much fun over the results of his attempt to colonize his es- tates of Doboz and Koebel with gypsies. During the spring and early summer the tribes seemed perfectly happy in their new homes, and the archduke was iubilant. Harvest time and the days for selecting recruits for the army came, however. The gypsies, fearing work and service, picked up their belongings few weeks ago and silently stoleaway. When his imperial highness went out to muster his gypsy colonists he found none to greet him. He will not repeat the experiment. The archduSe is Q great friend of the wandering people, under stands their language and has written book about them New York Tribune

Eating Shoe HnsI,.

n London century ago it was no uncommon practice on the part of the fast men" to drink bumpers to the health of a lady out of her shoe. The Earl of Cork, in an amusing paper in The Counoisseur, relates an incident of tl.is kind, and to carry the compliment still further he states that the shoe was ordered to be dressed and served up for supper.
 "The cook set himself seriously to work upon it. He pulled the upper part (which was Of fine damask) into fins shreds and tossed it up into a ragout, minced the sole, cut the wooden heel into thin slices, fried them in batter and placed them round the dish for garnish The company testified their affection for the lady by eating heartily of this ex- guisite impromptu.

AN AUTUMN MELODY.

What notes Of what ditty can sound from the
 city, From out of the dust end the din, Where inc suns pallid taper is dim through the yapor Tha, shrouds all the snrrow and siny At evening listen the nurky lamps gisten, The stars peep by two and by three; Thu harsh Babel noises replace yous sweet
 voices.
 Dear sen! Yet past Che fog curtain, l know ii for certain, The barn roofs havr caught thc last ray; The smoke of tho throshlrg is softly enmcsh-
 ing Brown gables with delicate gray: The red leaves arc falling, ihe blowers arc calling, The sea wind is salt o'cr the wod; The bryOues blaoken, the tufts of green
 bracken
 Turn gold. Q scents that re,loublo where slow through the

 mellow, And flocks OF the faraway slope! Q sea songs that mingle on bowlder and

 For you.

You Can Have Your Own "Central.

Nou Gan Have Your Own 'tentrai.'
 The latest device to facilitate com munication between different depart ments of large business establishments is miniature telephone exchange The system is installed after exactly the same principle as an exchange covering e wide city area. Each desk to be put in connection has its own instrument, which is in principle the same thing as the full grown telephone, but is of min. iature size. The receiving or hand in- Strument, however, is not of the long shape with cylindrical handle, familiar everywhere nowadays, but is simply a flat disk resembling one of. the earliest forms of telephone, of which few were seen in the infancy of the invention. The central office is put in small closet or inclosure at some convenient point, and is operated by a boy who has nothing else to do.
 There are dozen or so connections, according to the size of tho installation and the needs of the office. This ex- change is operated upon precisely the same principle, though of course on smaller scale and with less complication, as central office in city exchange, The ring of any of the connected tele- phones causes a numbered disk on switchboard to fall when the boy makes the desired connection and releases 1t when the talk is finished. In large and busy establishments, where avery de partment must be connected with every other for frequent communication, this telephone exchange system does away with large number of cumbrous speak ing tubes and iusures a quicker and more satisfactory rvice,-New York Tribune,

Forest Fires aad Mosquitoes in Alaska.
 Miles end miles of blackened stumps marked the ravages of fpiest fires. The ludiun, when resting on his journey and suffering from mosquitoes, sets fire 10 the twigs and leaves around him, ere ating a smoke which keeps the pest at q distance. and when refreshed he straps on his pack aud moves along the trail, of course without extinguishing his fire. Tn announcing his approach to friends at a distance, he sets fire to- half dead spruce or tamarack tree, and the column of thick, pluck smoke is the signal, 10 be acknowledged in the same manner by those who See it, so as to direct the traveller to their camping grounds. In the summer everything is crisp and dry, and the timber is saturated with tur- pentine. The trees left to smolder are famed into iane by the slightest breeze. the flames creep amoug the resinous trees and spread till whole forests are destroyed.
 These forest fires and the mosquitoes account for the scarcity os game. Over

 I've gold l.C00.000 more false teeth last yeir than we ever disposed Of be. fore in twelvemonth," said the man eger of the greatest dental supply es. tablshment in the world 10 reporter yesterday. "l don't imagine that it waa because people are losing ,thpir teeth more rapidly now than heretofore, al. thoagh t is ulquestionably the case that the enduring quality of the human chew ing apparatus has become progressively less from generation te generation in this country
 "lt is more the fashion now than Ii has ever been in the past to wear false teeth, partly for the reason thatthe pub lie has come to realize what excellent substitutes they are for real ones, aud partly owing to the fact that toothless. ness eScites much more disgust than it did in cd times, when such an affliction was commonly observed and was regard ed as unavoidable.

Owing to the reckless slaughter Of humming birds for ornamental purposes, certain species are already on the verge of extinction. This does not seem sur prising when one learns that 5000 skins of the ruby and topaz humming bird alone were shipped not long ago from q Brazilian port in single consignment, while at public sale of bifdskins, held in London.
