Fusion in the Northwest and West.

We have said but little on the subject OF
the fusion talked of so much between the
Democrats and the Third party in the new
States and elsewhere. We were afraid
that the parties to the fusion were too san
guine. But the New York World has re-
ceived from its own correspondents news
which 1t condenses as follows:
"In all Of the States In which fusion upon all
OF the Weaver electors has been effected the
Fusionists are claiming victory, and tho advices
OF the World seem TO bear out their claims"
Admitting the claims Of the Fusionists and
OF the silver League in Nevada, 1t will be seen
by the following table that in these nine States
forty-two electoral votes which hare heretofore
been reckoned upon by the Republicans will be
lost to Harrison.

Gus ruts over which we haul our empty,
wabbly. worn wagons. The reason Is,
doubtless, that We generally select our
choicest and densest ass to superintend
the building and repair of our roads. and
In many cities our streets also. lie works
on the roads in summer and sits on the
jury In winter. He is generally a man
who is selected because he has never been
outside of the county. He is noted for his
gravity, gloom and the opacity of his mind.
Another reason is the same that has
been fatal to most all farmer movements,
though started with the most holy and
honest motives, viz, that We farmers
cannot, like the residents of cities, see
plot against other trades. When We have
done over nineteen hours of work and an
other hours wholesome thought inter-
change with our calf kindergarten, and
then mutton tallowed our bunion, we
must need rest in order to be up and COM
batting with the early bird for the ILL
advised worm.
Still, somehow the foreign peasant in
several European countries, far inferior to
ours otherwise, has a road over which he
hauls car load as compared with the silly
little convention jag which We see so often

Now then, to come to your prominent
nose. You want it to look smaller. Well,
here is the way an actor does it. He ex-
tends the rouge from the cheeks to the
side of the nose, but not too. much. In
fact, he is aware that small nose can he
apparently increased by keeping the rouge
from it. A white dot on the tip of the
nose makes it appear very long and
pointed.
But these are really only very few of
the pointers needed to make changes in
human faces. Every contenance has its
own pecu!iarities. and the slightest touch
of color makes decided change.
Some day when you are at a swell social
affair take good look at a certain man
whose face you know is naturally as red as

you will be able to see the pallor

convincing proof to you that our older

Corwin AZ a Stunp-Speaker

In the summer of 1879 General Garfield
was campaigning in the state of Maine
and one evening the general, entertaining
some of his friends narrated some remin-
iscences of Corwin, whom he regarded as
the most fascinating OF all the stump
speakers he had ever heard. He said that
personally the best service Corwin ever
done him was contained in bit of advice
When Garfield was very young man,
casting about for a career, he had some
notion of attempting 70 write humorous
sketches and he spoke 10 Corwin about
ii. In most earnest and almost pathetic
manner Corwin advised against the
endeavor. 1T 10 ruin he said, for a
man who proposes to undertake any SER
ious pursuit to gain reputation as a
humorist | have suffered from that nv
self. The people know me as funny
fellow. and such reputation as | leave is

General Garfield said that the advice went
home, and he had not been in politics a
very long time before he realized the
soundness Of 1t.

Among the individual qualifications of

is the faculty of accuracy. / doubt
whether if anybody knows exactly what
that is; but everybody knows that some
men possess it, while others lack it. The
man who has it can be depended upon.
If he can learn to make play he is rea-
sonably sure to repeat it. This steady
command of the faculties must be pos
sessed by the good infield player.

also essential. The in6elder must know

On the apex of all time;

But we stand on the crest OF a tumulous terror
that bares its heart TO the moon,
OF the bones OF men through the ages of error,
OF the fellows who died too soon.

Is graceful thing 10 give,
For they were the fellows who blew the bellows
That The flame of hone might live.

That we m ght l'vnge IN ten-dollar tavernS
And read Lu. Daiiy Globe.
They lived On roots that the fair potato
Might gladden. our boards today,
And they fought with spear that We might read
Plato
And hear Paderewsky play.
They fought the snake and the bear and the
bison
And the things that bite and sting,
That we might range 10 the broad horizon
And fear no living thing
so thanks to the men who are buried under
The years that have passed away,
For they are the men who stored with thunder
The dynamo of today
OF thar pyramid of bones on the crest of exist

We take the presents boon
And thank those fellows way back in the dis
lance
The fellows who died too soon.

son or two of an expert makeup artist,
and he can look like winner against
time even if he knows that the
end will find him beaten. There
are lines along the side of the nose,
from the side of the eye down to the lower
part of the cheek and down along the
ear, which an actor always utilizes to
make thin-looking face, while horizon
tai lines along the cheek are used to
harden the countenance. As rule for
street use dry colors should be used, where
an actor will of course use the regular
grease paint" Here are some interesting
directions on how a youthful face is
"made." which quote from the book of a
makeup artist:
Smear the face well with what in the
profession is called cocoa butter, or
the ordinary vaseline. Rub the face
we'll with towel and then begin the ap-
plication of your grease or dry colors If
you want to look pale use what the pro-
fession calls color No. l. If you want to
look light complexioned use color No. 3,
and if youthful and dark skinned color
No. 4. Then apply what is known as
rouge de Paris high on the cheek homes

Pullman's Not A Charity Scheme.

q "
This gigantic experiment at Pu llman is
one that has attracted wide attention
throughout the world. 1t is tae first time
that an experiment of this exact kind has
ever been attempted There is nowhere
the semblance of charity or be nevolence.
There is no attempt to adopt the co-opera-
tive system or TO give the emplo yes shares
in the profits of the company Even the
church, which is built in the town. is
placed there as building to be rented by
any particular association that the work
men may themselves designate. The
workmen are never lectured upon their
duties. Mr.. Pullman never permits the
theater to be occupied by professional
philanthropists or lecturers who have
special axes to grind. The town itself has
some 1000 inhabitants. No liquor is sold
in the town and one policeman is all that
is required to maintain law and order.
This policeman has probably less to do
than any one of the Chicago policemen.
None of the workmen are permitted to
own their houses in Pullman. This is
considered by many as a hardship. But
the Pullman company says that otherwise
they could not manage their property on a
uniform and harmonious system. The
town IS managed as private estate, and
as such it should be criticised and exam
med. The Pullman Company does not re-
puiFt lIS employees 10 I'VE III the town.
Some 1900 live outside of it. They have
all of the advantages of the town, how
ever, so tar as its public institutions are
concerned These 1000 men have gone
outside for the purpose of owning their
own homes. The towns of Rosedale and
Kensington which border upon the Pull
man property have been built up by these
employees. These men found in the first
place easy opportunities there to buy land
and TO build houses for themselves The
prosperity OF the Pullman property has
contributed TO the prosperity of these
neighDoring properties, and to that extent
the outside workmen are more interested
who live there.
But many of the men prefer 10 remain
in Pullman. They say that the low
rentals enable them TO live there as
cheapiy as in their own homes outside.
They invest their surplus in outside
prop critics and 50 many OF them have be-
come quite independent 1t is true that
the leases OF the houses in Pullman Itself
can be cancelled upon short notice by the
company if the tenant becomes obnoxious,
but this is never done for any triding
reason and only when the tenants con-
duet is such as to become a disorganlzing
element.

considered a very delicate operation by
the actor. 1t must be rubbed smoothly
and gently over the cheeks on either side
of the face, conforming as nearly as pos

close to the lower eyelids, toward the side
of the nostrils and toward the ears, high
