because Salzer's seeds are SO extremely

MlND-READING OF THE FUTURE.
VIII 1t BE Possible to Read Thought
Through tho Eyes?

VIM III Be Possible to kead InOugnt
Through the Eyes?
1t can be taken as n fact, which the
theory of the action of the eye implies,
that for each external impression, that
is, for each image produced on the
retina, the ends of the visual nerves
concerned in the conveyance of the i'm
preston to the mind must he under Il
peculiar stress or in II ~vibratory state.
1t now does not seem improbable
that when by the power of thought an
image is evoked, Il distant reflex action,
no matter how weak, is cxcrtcd upon
certain ends of the visual nerves, and,
therefore, upon the rctina. VIII it
ever be within human powcrto analyzc
the condition of the rctina when dis
turbcd by thought or reflex action, by
the help of some optical or other lei
of such constituencies that n clear idea
of its state might be gained at any
time?
If this were probable, then the prob
lem of reading ones thoughts with
precision, like the characters of an
open book might be much easicr to
solve than many problems belonging
to the domain of positive physical
science, in the solution of which many
If not the majority of scientific men
implicitly believe. IIclmholtl has
shown that the fund.- of the eyes are
themselves luminous, and he was able
to see in total darkness the movement
of his arm by the light of his own
eyes.
This is one of the most remarkable
experiments recorded in the tory of
science, and probably only II few men
could satisfactorily repeat it, for it is
very likely that the luminosity of the
eyes is associated with ac.

young ladies who run after alleged statesmen for the improper purpose of getting an office which they do not really need frequently take that step. The congressman realize this fact, and some of them are mean enough to takc advantage of it.
 There is one side of the office-seels- ing business which is really pathetic. The old hall of representatives, which is now used as a semi-art gallery, wherein the statues of famous states men are placed by the various states, has it's daily history of many lives Speaker Reed converted one corner of this room into a ladies reception room. During the sessions of congress women in all stages of need sit day after day, sending their cards to members of the house whose influence they are anX- ious to obtain. The doorkeepers come back with statements, often false, to the effect that the representative is mot present to-day" or tout of his seat" Some congressman send word to ''come tomorrow" merely for the purpose of putting off the visitors, who, lacking care fare, trudge wear lily home to their boarding places, to return again and again in pursuit of their hopeless quest. Tn the public reception room of the senate similar scenes arc enacted, but the senators usually treat the women better. They tell them frank Iy whether they can or cannot get II. C.. Nf s,,1N them in fruitless suspense.
 The representatives, however, are less skilled in diplomacy, or else are afraid to offend some family in their districts, and when they cannot get offices for these applicants they dodge them. Very often ladies go to the house galleries, sit there looking for their representatives until they ap- pear, and then hasten to the reception room, send in their cards, and receive the information from the messengers or pages that ''he was here for moment, but he had gone uptown again." The ladies return to the galleries and look down upon the members there and sec their representatives chatting with & fellow member, or writing letters at their desks. Many woman under these circumstances is moved to tears and leaves the capitol sobbing aloud. It is thus made plain to her that her statesman friend wants nothing to do with her, and will do nothing for her.
 During and immediately after tho war very many women of improper be- havior found places in the executive departments. This fact became notori- ous, and thousands of people until this day believe that ladies in the depart ments are no better than they should be. But this is an erroneous impress sion. The percentage of improperly behaved women in the departments is | very small. As soon as their character is made known, and it always is, they are dismissed, no matter who in- dorses them. SMITH D.

shown In figure 1 was made from one of those swell front affairs, so familiar in New England homes of the past, but of course any similar shape or pat tern would be equally fitting. To make the change it is necessary to re- move the upper drawers, upholstering the space left thereby-seat, sides and back. The flat top of the bureau, of course, will not be required as such, and can be utilized as a seat by cutting to the proper size and mailing in place. The cushion may be removable and can be covered with denim, ute, vel our or corduroy to suit one'N purse. The back and sides should be padded, covering with the same material as cushion. Finish the edges neatly with gimp of suitable color or small brass headed nails. Should the wood be dark mahogany any of the shadeN of denim now offered will answer admir- ably, and the pillows and bolsters, if used, may be decorated to advantags 9 with outline designs. The suggestion of using so humble material as denim is with view to economy; more costly material may be used when desired.

evenly, finishing off with one or two coats of white enamel. The settle as shown here has been decorated with papier mache or composition orna- ments, which can be applied with glue and nailed in place to suit ones fancy. When hard, these ornaments may be softened by wrapping in cloth, wrung out in hot water, after which they may be twisted to any design required. House decorators and picture framers are large users of such material, and amateurs may purchase of them. When such ornamentation is attempted it should always be previous to the painting, and may after this latter process is effected be further touched up with gold paint. A beautiful white and gold divan of small dimen- sions. particularly well adapted for placing against the back of an upright piano, can be gotten up in this manner at small expense. Upholstering of sillxen texture and cushions of India silk will complete the enselnble.- Decorator and Furnisher.

How to Make Powder Stick.

If you must use powder and it won't stick on, try this: Get an ounce or two of cocoa butter-costs about ten cents an ounce and looks like tallow. Rub it on your face brislIly until the skin is we'll greased. Take q soft linen cloth and rub the butter off-and you will wonder where all the dirt came from; then repeat the process, this time rubbing the skin well after applying the butter. Again rub the face with the cloth and apply it vigorously. After that rub on the powder and your skin will feel like satin. You can use it on the neck and arms the same way and it is not likely to rub off and make your skin look shiny. Cocoa butter is a good skin food and is harmless.

RECORD OF A LIFE
Secure Ono by Saving g Pieoe of Every Dress You Get.

Dress You Get.
 It often needs only a few interven- ing years to change our most common place surroundings into the most TO- mantle; often in but few years we learn to cherish anything which recalls to us old associations. I am certain that to 0 friend of mine no work of fic- tion could ever suggest so much gen. uine comedy and tragedy as a unique little album which she showed to me recently The book itself was very ordinary one, of the sort generally used for receiving clippings, but the pages, instead of containing bits of fugitive verse, stamps or signatures, were filled with an odd collection of dry goods. In the upper left-hand corner of each page was fastened a fragment of dress material; opposite it a clever pen and ink sketch of the completed garment had been drawn, and below was given a written biog- raphy of the same, containing all sorts of interesting items in regard to it.; its price, it's date of purchase and the occasion of its first appearance. The owner of the book was an artist and had supplied the sketches herself, but 1t occurred to me such book would be interesting even without the sketches, as the beauty of the pages, to my mind, lay quite as much in their suggestiveness as in their artistic ar- engagement.
 Several other friends who have heard of this book have been pleased with the idea and have started similar books. A young girl who is about to be married has decorated her first pages with bits from very dainty trousseau. She intends to put in her book piece of every dress she may own.
 A young mother has just commenced such a collection for her baby daugh- ter. Should the child live to woman hood the book will be to her com plete record, not only of her vanished youth, but also of the mother-loye that guarded and glorified it.
 If only our grandmothers in their days of sillsen tissue and stately bro- cades had had such an inspiration! And when the fashion of things pres- ent has passed away, such albums will have developed into valuable posses sions.-Ladies' Home Journal.

to retain her in her place. Being con- vinced that this influence would secure what she wanted she was bubbling over with good spirits. The secretary replied that he would try to keep her. but it was possible that sine might be one of the employees whom it was necessary to drop for lack of appropria- tions. This disposed of the fair appli- cant, and the secretary of the treasury turned away from her tears and pro- testations to attend to other business. This story became known to other cabi- net officers, and they adopted the ex- pressions of MT. Carlisle as their own, and told hundreds of fair applicants the same story, thus disposing of them in very short order.
 A great many ladies seek office and pretend to be needy, when as a matter of fact they are merely ambitious to dress well and buy pretty things. It is well known here that very many girls who have good homes, with fathers of moderate but sufficient in- come to take care of their families req senably well, go office-seelSing and plead poverty, solely in order to have money with which to take annual trips to seaside or mountain. Moreover, there are respectable ladies, daughters of good families, who go after con- grcssmen at the capitol, pleading dire necessity, who spend lifetimes of re- gret for their misdirection.
