There really seems to be no end to
the queer things which are done by the
women Of other countries to make their
faces conform to their own ideas of female
beauty. The feet, as you know, are de-
formed in China and Japan, and in some
countries the woman go so far as to press
their children's heads between boards so
as to make them fiat, because they con-
slider flat heads pretty and far superior
in beauty to the natural shape. The In
dian women thiclzly smear their heads
with bears fat. The Turkish women al
most without exception color their hair
red. In Greenland the women color
their faces blue and yellow. The women
and children of Guzurat stain their teeth
black, while the ladies of India and
Japan gild their teeth and make them as
brilliant as possible. But it remains for
the Chinese to do something which we
in our country would consider very bar
barous and cruel indeed.
The Chinese do not admire small eyes,
and to reach their standard of beauty a
girls eyes must be not only very large,
but very long and brilliant. The eyes
are easily made brilliant by putting GER
tain drugs in them, but to make them
long when nature has not intended them
to be so is quite another matter. To ac-
complish it the women have often re-
course to kind of home surgery which
must be very painful. A Chinese mother
who has child affected with small eyes
takes the child at the age of 10 or 10 and
Sits the eyelid at the corner, just where
it joins the lower lid. A very small slit
is made, and this is then left to heal. AS
soon as it is healed it is slit again, and
this process is continued until the eyes
appear very long and prominent.-Ex-
change.

Detective Work rs n Profession.

The growth of the detective profession
has been brought home to us by recent
publication in an evening contemporary.
A private detective Office in London was
reported to have sent out an extraordi-
nary number of detectives-as they
doubtless prefer to be called-for en-
ployment at the Chicago exhibition, and
our contemporary had interviewed the
chief of the Office upon the subject. The
number of detectives actually likely to
be employed on this occasion proved to
be very much smaller than was at first
reported, but for all that they were suffi-
ciently numerous to prove fairly large
demand for their services.
In other respects, however, the account
that this gentleman gave of his business
was of interest, though the interest was
not always of a pleasant kind. He sug-
gested that use for his men would be
found by fnanciers and business men,
who might require secret agents ''work-
ing in business transactions-finding out
market secrets, inventions, watching
what spectators are doing and that
sort of thing" and he assured his hearers
that "that sort Of thing is becoming
much more general in England"
We are sorry to hear it for the credit
of English commerce. Most of them, he
admitted, would do private work-so-
cial matters needing investigation and
things of that sort" ''That sort Of
thing" and "things of that sort" are
somewhat indefinite expressions; never
theless, under the circumstances, they
are quite definite enough. Our imagina-
ton is equal to the task of filling in the
blank, though it is hardly equal to our
distaste for the blank when filled in
London Spectator.

An Incident Of the Presidents Recep!
finn

tion.
Near the end of the line of
callers came a poor woman.
whose pinched face and shab-
by clothes indicated that she
WAS in distress. AS she ap-
preached the President took
her hand and gave it a corr
dial shake. and her counte-
nance lighted up with u ray
OF hope that the request she
was about to mike might be
granted. Instead of passing
on as the other visitors had
done she paused in front OF
the President, and, still held
ing his hand, made a pitiful
appeal for his assistance in
securing an appointment for
herself. A look of trouble
passed over the Presidents
face as he bent low to catch
the faltering words OF the
poor woman who endeavOrx
Led to tell her story without
betraying her secret to t h g
large crowd standing near.
Several times the President
shook his head negatively,
but the woman still clung to
his hand. Then he told her
an gently rs he could that
she should state he; case at
some Iher time and place,
and withdrew his hand from
hers. Il was a pathetic scene,
and the President seemed re-
llieved when the public recep-
|tion was over Washington

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent

President Cleveland ardent
ly believes in maintaining the
dignity which which he yhinks
belongs to the President oi
the United States, and in ac.
cordance With that belief he
declined most positively to
agree to the suggestion OF the
Spanish minister t h a t he
should .folllw European Ell
quetta and return in person
the official visit which t h e
Spanish lnfanta paid him ON
Saturday. American etique,t
is good enough for him and
also for the Infanta Eulalie.
if her smiling and handsome
face is an index of her feel
ings. The Infanta was met
ut the depot by Secretary
GreSham, who MS the Presi
dents personal representa-
tive welcomed the nations .
gnest and Der party and con-
durteI ! them under escort OF
two troops of y. s. Caval-
ry to the elegant quarters
which had been prepared for
them. Mrs. Cleveland and the
cabinet ladies' returned t h q
call which the Infanta n n d
her party paid to the White
House, and to-morrOw even
ing the President and Mrs.
Cleveland will give IL State
dinner ut the White House in
her honor, which will proha-
bly he Mrs. CleveIand's last
public 'prearnnce until af-
tei' the interesting even t
which is expected in July.
This weak Princes EulaIip will
go to New York. and from
there direct tO the Worlds
Fair. The Infantn comes to
America as the personal ana
official representative of the
Queen Regent Of Spain, who
was invited by Congress to
visit the United States du-
ring the Columbian Exposi-
tion. The Infanta apparent.

the coast of Spain with ma
NY other works of art. My
Virginia was insured for one
thousand dollars. Finally |
was told, perhaps a year af-
terward, that I must take in

agined at the supposed final
loss Of Virginia. These dates
are not remembered. l could

She continued: There is Il law
in Spain which prohibits the
shipment OF any cast away
articles on the coast, except
direct to the place first desig-
mated. Thus, as before said
| thought Virginia gonefrom
me, ii safe on shore. But for
tuhately there were such a
quantity OF works of art for
Boston, with Virginia, a yes
sel was sent for them, thus
she reached chs country; the
condition of the contents OF
the box unknown. Virginia
had been sold once by me for
$5, 900, the highest price then
paid for such Il work Of art,
but in consequences OF the pur
chaser's inability to meet pay
ments due, Virginia came
back into my possession. In
Boston in Il box, with my V,r
ginia standing on her head,
| was offered it for three hun
dred dollars. With head off
or head on | must pay the
amount. Finally | concluded
to risk it, and my JOY can be
imagined when ] discovered
Virginia to be safe. Miss Ian
der now read some extracts
extolling the statue, by our
most eminent writer's. Con-
tinuing again, Virginia had
seemingly miraculously twice
escaped destruction by fire.
We have followed Miss Ian
.der's history Of the statue as
closly as possible and 1t real
~ appears as will be shown
presently, there is Divine in
terposition to get Virginia
Dare to this State.
Governor Carr now asked
Miss Lander if she could be
induced to ALLOW the sta tue
to go tn Chicago. She said
she could not, giving several
reasons why not. Then the
interior OF the Governors
mansion was described to her
and the request made that
she, would allow it to be set
up there, promising t h a t
when the Legislature conven
ed to use his Efforts for the
purchase, but he could not
positively promise it.
The statue is now in N. Y,
but not on exhibition, being
boxed for hasty removal as
security against fire. Itsesti-
mated value is $4,000.
Miss Lander stated til a t
she expected to attend the
Exposition, and could not
until enxly autumn under her
own supervision comply with
the Governors request, when
she would do so, as she felt
Virginia ought to be in N G.
Now we are shown some of
