EYEBROW CULTIVATION.

How to Give Added Character to Ones

the Eye Itself Are the Brows and
Lashes-How the Cult Is Practiced by
Its Devotees.
Curiously examining the pretty toilet
articles that lie n great profusion on
the dressing table, you come across a
tiny brush, delicate and white, with
a finely chased silver back. You Won
der at its purpose.
'fWhat is this for?" you ask, holding
1t up. The owner looks at it for mo-
ment with thoughtful, puzzled ex-
preston. Suddenly her face clears.
''Oh, yes, that's my new eyebrow
brush" she explains.
The disciples of physical culture have
a new cult. They devote themselves
to the eyebrow and eyelash, for the
possibility of the brow and lash as q
factor in facial expression is being
more fully appreciated. Indeed, Buff
Con, the naturalist, places the eye
brow next in Importance to the eye
itself in giving character to the physi-
ognomy. This is partly because, he
SAYS. of the marked contrast of this
feature to the others of the face. The
brows are a shadow in the picture,
bringing its color and drawing into
strong relief. Eyelashes also con-
tribute their effect: when long and
thick they overshadow the eye, and
make it appear softer and more beau
tiful.
It is, indeed. claimed by many that
the eyeball itself is incapable of ex-
preston; that it is the dropping or sud-
den lifting of the lid which speaks.

the national tax which was imposed on
state bank circulation thirty years
ago. All notes of the same denomina-
ton under the natl, NJ plan are to be
similar in appearance, but state bank
notes are to be different in looks both
from the national bank currency and
from the greenbacks and Sherman
notes. Another feature of the system
provides for the redemption and re-
tirement of greenbscks and Sherman
notes at the discretion of the secre-
tary of the treasury, the surplus rev.
enue, when there is any, being used
for that purpose. the retired notes not
to exceed 20 per cent of the new cir
culation, national and state, provided
by this scheme. The state bank notes
are. of course, designed to furnish the
local currency which the enemies Of
the national banking system have been
for so many years demanding.
1t is easy to see that the country will
not take kindly to the Carlisle scheme
In providing two new sorts of money
it makes a needless addition to our al
ready embarrassingly variegated and
diversified circulating medium. One
kind of new currency, to be sure, we
must have, for the government bond
deposit feature will necessarily have
to be absent from that form of circula-
ton, whatever it may be. which will
soon have to be devised to supplement-
and succeed the national bank cur
rency. Two new sorts of circulation,
however, is rather more than the coun-
try desires at present. The absence,
too, of direct governmental liability
for circulation will arouse prejudice
against it Perhaps the safeguards
sur1 ounding the circulation might in
actual operation turn out to be ample,
but there will be a popular suspicion
that the scheme is weak in this par
ticular, and this feeling is likely to be
fatal to all chances of its adoption. In
regard to the state bank feature of the
scheme, the wildcat currency advo-
Gates will think the secretary does not
goanywhere near far enough in his con-
eessions to them, while all the rest OF
the country will think he goes too far.
The proposition is on the lines laid
down in the so-called Baltimore cur
rency plan to the extent that it bases
circulation on bank capital instead OF
on bond deposits, but it is much moro
complex than that system and much
less satisfactory. - st. Louis Globe

Girlbood,s Charm In Woman.

The woman who keeps the simplicity
of her girlhood. its generous impulses
and quick sympathies, and who adds
to her natural gifts the enlargement of
study and the crown of experience, is
always at her best and never past it.
When the exterior attractions of form
and color diminish and depart. as they
mostly do, the radiance of our inner il
Illumination will more than compensate
their departure. But, in order that
this should be so. her moral must equal
her intellectual gain. She must be
willing to learn. not only her own
powers, but her own defects also, and
to court the good influences which can
help her to escape from the delusions
of sense and the fatal tyranny of self
consciousness. She must discard the
petty measures Of vanity and self-seek-
ing, and learn to love her race. her
country and the humanity which she
should help TO adorn.-Julia Ward

HOW 70 SERVE APPLES.
Four Nice Ways in Which They Can Be
Prepared for the Table.

Prepared for the Table.
The French cook who professed to
cook apples in 400 different ways was
not necessarily exaggerating. Here
are some of the nice things which can
be made:
Buttered Apples.-Pare and core six
nice apples and place them whole IN a
saucepan with a piece of butter the
size of an egg; put a teaspoonful of SUI
gar in each of the holes where the
cores were and stick Glove in each APP
pie; stew very gently, covering the
saucepan that they may cook tender by
the steam; turn them occasionally.
and when very tender lay them on a
glass dish containing half-inch layer
of apple marmalade; put cube of red
currant jelly on the top of each, dust
with sugar and cinnamon and serve
very cold.
Compote.-This is much superior to
apple sauce. Put one-half pound of SUI
gar and pint of water in a granite
preserving pan, add the thin yellow
rind and juice of two lemons; boil I'M
til the scum rises, remove it and add
six apples, pared, cored and quartered.
Simmer until the apples are clear with
out breaking them if possible. 1t will
take about 20 minutes.
Frosted Apples.-Simmer dozen APP
pies with their skins on in the water
containing a small piece of alum. Put
them over in cold water and when the
skins will pull off with the fingers re-
move them and dip the apples in melt
ed butter; sprinkle thickly with coarse
granulated sugar and bake in q slow
oven. If carefully done they will
sparkle as if frosted. Pile in pyramid
and pass whipped cream with them.
Miroton of Apples.-Stew half dozen
pared, cored and sliced apples with a
very little water, two tablespoonfuls
of sugar and some powdered cinnamon.
When reduced to pulp spread this
smoothly in dish. Boil eight Jumps
of cut sugar with teacupful of water
and the thinly-grated rind of two
lemons for a few minutes; add butter
the size of an egg, spoonful of flour,
the yolks CT two eggs and the white of
one; mix all these well over the fire
and spread over the apples. Whip the
two remaining whites to a stiff froth
and when the custard is cold pile the
whipped whites upon it; sift sugar on
the top and set in the oven a moment
for the apples to brown.-American

MUCH TOO COMPLICATED.
Secretary Carlisle's Plan for Currency
Reform.

Secretary Carlisle's Plan for Currency
Reform.
The chief features of Secretary Car
isles highly complicated and involved
scheme of currency reform may be out
lined thus: 1t allows national banks
to issue circulating notes to an amount
equal to seventy-fve per cent of their
paid up and unimpaired capital,
upon a guarantee fund of green
backs or Sherman currency equaling
thirty per cent. of the circulation,
these notes to constitute a first lien
on all the assets of the banks. Two
taxes are to be imposed by the govern
ment on each bank-one of half of one
per cent. per year, payable half year
ly, on its average circulation, to pay
for printing of notes, official super
vision and like expenses, and the other
tax, which is also on circulation, but
of rate not stated, is to provide a
safety fund for note redemption, the
tax to cease when the fund reaches
five per cent. of the circulation out
standing. Each bank is to redeem its
own notes. When a bank fails, the
guarantee fund is to be added to the
safety fund and used in note redemp-
ton, but if this is not sufficient, pro
rata assessments on the basis of circu-
lation on the other banks for the sum
required will be made, the contribut-
ing banks to hold first lien for the
amount on the assets of the wrecked
bank.
This is the part of the scheme which
relates to national banks. Another
feature of it permits state banks to
issue circulation on nearly the same
terms as the national banks after COM
plying with somewhat similar require
msats, their notes to be exempt from

risk of scalding the hands or of spill
ing the water is avoided. The lamps
with which these kettles are fitted are
of varying powers, ranging from eight
to fifty-candle power, the most useful
size, which is generally recommended
for ordinary purposes, being of sixteen
candle power. This size is very service
able and economical in usage, and
capable of affording all the heat which
is required under ordinary circum-
stances. A lamp of this strength is
amply sufficient to keep boiling water
hot as long as may be necessary, while
one of ffty-candle power will boil a
pint of quite cold water in twelve
minutes, while to go to the other ex-
treme one of even eight-candle power
will suffice to keep water hot

ELECTRIC TEA KETTLE.
New Application of Modern Progress
Drawing-Roo Uses.


DrawingRoom Uses.
A firm of London silversmiths has
produced an electric tea kettle, which
is said to have considerable vogue In
London drawing-rooms.
The primary and very appreciable
attraction of the electric kettle is its
absolute cleanliness. There are, Of
course, no fumes of any kind from the
electric light which is used to produce
the heat, and therefore the process Of
using the kettle is absolutely clearly.
Nor is the simplicity of the new kettle
and its method of use any less admir-
able than its perfect cleanliness. 1t is
only necessary to attach the cord in
which the electric wires are inclosed to
any connection which may be fitted up
in room for lighting purposes, and
the apparatus is in working order in a
moment. The kettle, which is a very
shapely and agreeable production, is
made in such a way that when it is
filled with water and placed upon the
stand in which isthe electric lamp, it can
be tilted up and the water poured from
it without the necessity of removing it
from the stand, and by this means the

Waste in Cooking Potatoes

An English scientist, after careful
experiments, finds that when potatoes
are cooked without removing the
skins they lose only three per cent. of
nutritive quality through extraction
of the juice. When the skins were re-
moved before boiling the loss was
fourteen per cent, which makes the
process of cooking the potatoes with
out their jackets an exceedingly waste
