Cosmetics Among the Romans.

All that had been previously done in
the way of facial decoration was left far
in the shade by the ancient Romans.
All the Latin writers-historians poets,
naturalists and others-mention il in
one way or another. Il was the practice
of Roman actors, as it has been of those
of the profession since the theater has
existed. Many Of the emperors used
paint more or less freely. Heliogabalus,
one of the most eccentric, when he en-
tered Rome for the first time, had his
eyelashes painted black and his cheeks
red and white. In the time of Augustus
the custom was universal among women
of fashion, details of which are given by
Horace, Catullus, Tibullus, Ovid, Pro
pertius and the rest. Martial speaks of
the chalk of Fabulla that fears the rain,
and the wax of ISABELLA that fears the
sun.
Horace mentions red lead and carmine
as among the articles employed. Ju-
venal in one Of his satires describes q
paste that covers the faces of wives and
adheres with tenacity to the faces of hus-
bands. Coquettes, according to Horace,
used paste prepared from beans, much
like that used by some modern French
women, and were also given to the use
Of cummin. Mandragora is mentioned by
Pliny, and poppies by Ovid.-San Fran

And the Red Nosed Man Went on to Tell
How the Venom Got In Its Work.
''Its all humbug, this talk about rat
tlesnakes being so deadly poison" said
red faced man in the smoking car.
"Tve lived among 'em. They used to
be so thick out where l live that you
had to be mighty careful where you put
your feet down IL you didn't want to
hurt rattler or two every time you
stepped.
'My bed was never any more than big
enough for me and the easy conscience

more times than I've got fingers and
toes and found that two or three rattle
snakes had managed to find room with
us. They were plenty, tell you, out
where live. But deadly? Poohl Why,
I've known scores and scores of people to
be socked, and socked deep, by rattlers,
and never knew of but one instance
where q rattler's bite was fatal; never
but once out of more cases than there's
pimples on goose.
"Bill Bulger was the man that was

every drop of poison he had he emptied
into Bills wrist. Holler2 Great jees-

HOW Lightning Kills.

The cause of death by lightning is the
sudden absorption of the electric cur
rent. When a thundercloud which is
highly charged with positive electricity
hangs over any certain place, the earth
beneath it becomes abnormally charged
with the negative electric current, and q.
man, animal or other object standing or
lying directly beneath also partakes of
the last mentioned influence. If, while
the man, animal or other object is in
this condition, a discharge takes place
from the cloud above, the restoration of
the equilibrium will be sudden and vio-
lent, or, in language that we can all un-
derstand, the negative current from the
earth will rush up to join the positive
cloud current, and in passing through
the object which separates the two cur
rents, If it be an animate being, will do
SO with such force as to almost invari
ably produce instant death.
According to the above, which seems
a tenable hypothesis, to say the least,
fellow is really Struck" by the ground
current and not by the forked fury from
above at all.-St. Louis Republic.

Wounded with many a scar.
