They Go Far. for Beauty. Sake.

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 fe-
male beauty. But it remains for the
Chinese to do something which we in
our country would consider very bar
oarous and cruel indeed, and 1t is this:
The Chinese do not admire small ewes.
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
to be so is quite another matter. To
accomplish 1t the women have often re-
course to a kind Of home surgery which
must be very painful. A Chinese
mother who has q child affected with
small eyes takes the child at the age of
III or 10 and Sits the eye-lid at the cor
ner just where it joins the lower lid. A
very small slit is made, and this is then
left to heal. As soon as 1t is healed 1t
ts slit again. And this process is con-
tinued until the eyes appear very long

of Bodies Turned Into Stone.i
Away up among the sagcbrush Of
White Pine, CAL, far removed from tho
Shrek Of the locomotive and only dis
tur5ed by the occasional prospector, is
u strange, silent city. Once more than
$4,000 people carried on all kinds of
business and traffic there. It was dur
ing the phenomenal rush to White Pine
in 1857. Many hundreds Of buildings
were erected. It was o wild, new city
which eve slept, and where we're en-
acted oil the scenes which in the telling
made Mark Twain and Bret Harte fa-
nous. This was the story which an old
White Pine man recounted:
Now, If you go there" he said, "you
SEQ only a few Of those buildings. for
most Of them have fallen in and de-
cayed. Scattered log cabins yet remain
where mountain squirrels scurry to and
fro at the sound Of mans footsteps.
But it is not of this I started out to tell
You, but of q second silent city where
hundreds of men lie buried, and where
scarcely q headstone marks their last
resting place. Tho formation all about
there is largely Of limestone. Water
percolating through 1t partakes Of the
nature Of lime, and this in many cases
has petrifled the bodies. So If one were
to dig here and there in the graveyard he
would find on every hand petrified men.
In many cases they are petrifed SO
completely that the entire remains, even
down to the features are intact. The quiet
graveyard. stretching over many acres,
numbers among its sleepers all classes.
There are those who died in midwinter
OF pneumonia and typhoid fever, for in
those wild times men could not take
good care of themselves. Desperadoes
are there also. Numberless persons of
all degrees died with their boots on.
"The men who came here on fortune
bent embraced all classes. There was
the hardened prospector and the tender
foot, professional man. the farmer for
the first time turning his attention to-
wards mines. and the gambling advent
urer. Death settled upon them, high
and low alike. Many an Eastern family
perhaps to this day are waiting for the
return Of father, son or brother. They
have dropped out forever, and there.
Caught by the underground elements
and turned to stone, they will lie till
the end of time. It Is a lonesome city
to visit now, but twenty-five years ago
1t was a humming, roaring place not
unlike Creole ut the present time only
larger. 1t looks uncanny now and 1 do
not often visit it, but when l do I am
constantly impressed with tho uncer-
