Faces Made Artistic.

Why should any woman be an un.
pleasant reflection of herself in the
mirror is the query of varied curists
of the day. There are tonics to fatten
and exercises to reduce; athletics to
produce strength and color and dyes
to subdue or bril- ghtea the shade OF
ones hair.
Is the complexion bad? Then cos
metics and coloring matter are push
ed aside 10 give way to massage and
steaming, for the method of personal
art is growing more healthful every
day. The manicurist and the hair
dresser care for the two extremities
in an artistic manner and the curves
that nature or gymnastics have not
sufficiently developed are left to the
art Of the couturiere and the South's
staple production. But-wail wom-
en- n!-given figure, complexion and
coloring complete, ones features
remain often a serious blemish.
Just here is where tho surgical
curist, the dermatologist, steps in.
These promoters of good looks
claim to arrange harmonious con-
tour in the features that nature
thought wise to neglect.
Should the forehead wrinkle
small slits are made at the junction
where the hair grows and the skin
pulled up smooth and taut and
bit of adhesive plaster put on, and
the wound soon heals. If the cheeks
are inclined to be ''saggy.1 wrinkle
deeply about the mouth and seem to-
lack muscle the incisions are made
in the extreme outer surface OF the
cuticle near the ears and the same
method employed. These bits of neat
surgery require skill, but are not
dangerous, as the operation is con-
fined entirely to the top layer and
not extending to dangerous depths.
Also, the marking leaves no scars
and the pain is incidental.
However, there are the simpler
operations. For the changing of the
features more skillful and compro-
missing treatment is advanced. Ones
nose can be enlarged or narrowed,
the ears can be put at different an
gle, the eyebrows be thickened or
thinned and the eyelashes made
longer. This is done by fine instru.
ments and in the case of those suf-
ficiently venturesome to try the e1.
pertinent the result has been most
satisfactory to patient and derma-
tologist.
A nobler test of the curist's art is
to punctuate the eyes with harm
less solution that broadens the color
line or deepens it, as the case is de-
sired. This is an operation that is
doubtful and has been tested by
minority only.
Puncturing the cheeks with So
luton of rosaline and glycerine with
other component parts that are not
given away by the preparer is trick
of the trade that is more popular.
Small needles are used, and the col.
oring matter injected under the cpl
dermis which produces roseate glow
that pervades for atleast year.
AS to the wisdom of these proceed.
ings toward personal adornment the
individual must choose One may
question the judiciousness of the
course, but the fact exists that it is
done.

By day this serves as study, rectory,
robing-room, and, on occasion, as o
kitchen. At night berth is let down,
and the Episcopal palace becomes the
bishops bedchamber.
The body of the interior of the car

idea is very emphatically impressed by
the Gothic panels and the carvings Of
sacred symbols. Nearly every Episco-
pal church in America contributed its
mite to the construction fund. The

NIT, N. j. The lectern was furnished
as 10 memorial by Philadelphia clergy

rad, of the Church of the Heavenly

gave the silken cloth and the linen was
the offering; of tho wife of the Bishop
of Fredericton, New Brunswick. The
bishops chair came from Davenport,
Iowa. ST. James's Church of Brooklyn
donated the altar books. The font
was the gift of Calvary Church of New
York. Chicago sent tho solid silver
communion service, and the Young
Ladies' Missionary Society of the
Church of the Heavenly Rest presented
the organ, which is high-class instru-
ment.
Bishop Walker sends placards to the
railroad stations he intends to visit,
by which he announces his coming.
These are posted ten days ahead, in
order that news of the approach of the
Church of tho Advent may reach the
ranchmen and farmers OF the sur
rounding district. On the appointed
day the bishop is prepared to admin
lister the sacraments OF the communion
and confirmation. solemnize marriages,
administer the rite of baptism or or
dain qualified applicants in the mis-
siorary service of the church. The car

make when the cloth is thick enough
to dispense with lining, and then one
length of silk will be sufficient, if cut
down the centre, to face the fronts
and make nice, neat finish. Some
times the fullness at the back is set in
two box,pleats, cut in one length with
the coat, as in the double-column
illustration. The sleeves are of mod
crate size, with the fullness collected
well round the top of the arm, and not
spreading all down the armhole, as
this gives broad effect and shortens
the figure. The cuffs are mounted on
stiff canvas, and the lapels are also
stiffened and lined with silk.
A large number of the new jackets
and coats display bishop sleeves aud
very large revers. In most of these it
is noticeable that therevers are double,
the upper one being made of cloth,
and the under one of lighter silk or
cloth, white being used to very large
extent. The object of these double
revers is, of course, obvious; for should
the light ones become dirty, as they
probably will, they con bo easily re.
moved to be cleaned, for they are made
separately and buttoned on under
meath.
Jackets are short, and while, the skirt
part of the backs are almost invariably
ip flutes, the fronts vary to wonder
full degree. A great many have loose
fronts, either single or double breasted,
with pockets inserted in the sides, with
or without lapels, and another grace
ful shape is slightly fitted in to the
figure at the underarm seams, and is
caught together at the breast with O
single button.
For this seasons wear, coat and
skirt en- suite is surely invaluable in
every wardrobe, and as tho warmer
days approach, the skirt is Of the great

hairs strewn over the surface. These

are dull and artistic, and simply re-

subdued tones. Tweeds are also popu-

bestowed upon them last season.

SOME NEW EVENING SLEEVES.
The sleeve on the left of the dia-
gram is intended for gauze or chiffon,

and it takes two whole widths OF
forty-three inch chiffon, or one and
one-half widths of gauze. This is gath
cred up very full all round the arm
hole, and left nearly double the length
of the sleeves. The lower edge is
gathered along and sewn to the bot
tom of the sleeve, and ribbon strap
collects and holds some of the fulness
absut two-thirds of the length from
the top.
The short sleeve on the right of the
same diagram is suitable for two ma
terials, such as satin and brocade, or
satin and velvet, the epaulette being
always of the heavier fabric. The full
puff is first arranged on o foundation
of less size, and over this comes the
epaulette edged with trimming, and
left loose ut the edge and ends. Broad
bands, covered with jewels or bordered
with passementerie, are equally es

well shaped and full arm to prove be-

The New York Tribune thinks it will

''The click of the American clock is
heard around the world" says IN Eng
lish newspaper. We sell clocks to
the value OF nearly S1,500, 900 yearly
in the markets of the world. England
is the largest buyer, taking almost
one-half of that amount. We import
directly to every country in the world
but Turkey, Switzerland aud Rou
mania. In Australia, China and Japan
we have hardly any rivals in the clock
trade. Not only are our clocks the
best timekeepers in the world, but
they exist in such great variety. Every
sort of material is used-glass, ivory,
pearl, plush, marble, metal, paint,
porcelain. All sorts of devices are at
tached for special purposes. CLOCK
making and hat making are two orig
inal Yankee industries. In the latter,
states the New York Advertiser, we
have not kept pace with some other
countries, but in clocks we lead the
world.

This was and is the only cathedral
car in the world. It's success induced
John D. Rockefeller to defray the
cost of car, which is being operated
over the entire line of the Northern
Pacific Railroad by Boston Smith, o
Baptist evangelist. A movement is
also on foot to construct car for
missionary service among the colored
people of the Southern States. There
have been Mt various times missionary
boats on the Western rivers, the
Evangel being an especially elaborate
affair, with seating capacity OF 300.
s'The Church of the Advent" differs,
however, from all of these, in that it
is but incidentally o missionary car,
being primarily the cathedral of the
diocese, and 1T will remain as such
until the further development of the
State warrants o more conventional
arrangement.
North Dakota has eighteen estab-
lished churches and forty-fve missions
of the Episcopal faith. The growth
has been very slow, as the bulk of the
immigration into the State has been
from countries where the English
Church is unknown. The majority Of
the Episcopalians in the State are from
Canada; the remainder are English
people and Fasteners. The cathedral
car was built at Pullman, ILL.,, and cost
$4,000. It's principal external feature
is the Gothic projection, or transept.
Charles G. Haight, New York archi-
tect, drew the plans. The car is sixty
feet long. At one end is the chancel,
with altar, lectern and font. A cabi-
net organ occupies position at one
side of the car. The body of the cathe-
dral is equipped with eighty chairs.
In the rear of the chancel is snug lit
tie apartment, which Bishop Walker
facetiously calls the Episcopal palace.

Bishop Walker vas born in New

The cathedral car is on the road
fully niue months OF the year, and
the bishop has at times suffered much
privation during the winter months.

cent report to the Episcopal Board of
Missions he speaks of hav-
ing just returned from trip embrac:
ing eighty towns, villages, hamlets
and "vicinities. In no instance was
his congregation less than seventY-hve
souls, although the immediate popu-
lation of the point visited was in many
instances less than forty. Ranchmen
and farmers with their families would
often ride distance of fifty miles to
attend services in the travelling church:
Many people attended, no doubt,
througha feeling of pure curiosity.
On this point the bishop tells the
story of the old Scotch woman who
boasted to her rector OF having at
tended church on the previous Sun
day, but when catechised she could re-
call neither the text nor single point
of the sermon.
"What good, then, does it do you
to 60 to church," the rector asked.
For answer the old woman pointed to
o lot of freshly-washed linen hanging
on the line and asked him whether
there we're any signs on it OF the soap
and water through which it passed,
yet it was better for It's experience.
The cathedral car is especially pop
ular among the railroad men and they
attend the services in large numbers.

A Singular Fire Test.

Max L. Lane, writing in tho Pro-
gressive Thinker, gives the following
narratives OF experience with Mrs. Ism
Kaynor at Milwaukee, Wis: ''The
feature of the evening was the fire
test during which Mrs. Kaynor
handled with impunity O very hot
cylinder, direct from over the flame
of kerosene lamp; also passing
paper, bank bills, silk and lace hand
kerchiefs through the fame without
burning them, although one OF the
gentlemen of the committee chosen by
the audience was we'll blistered for
daring to handle the same glass cylin-
der which Mrs. Kaynor had held to
her face for over one and half
minutes by the watch, while it was on
the burning lamp. A boy of eleven
placed his hand confidently in Mrs.
Kaynor's, and, thus protected, she
pressed his hand lightly against the
hot cylinder for over half minute,
the boy experiencing but pleasant
sensation of warmth. After expert
ments with the cylinder she took it of
and proceeded to pass her fingers
slowly through the fame, then the
hand, and finally the whole arm up to
the elbow. Before beginning opera.
tions Mrs. Kaynor had insisted on
being washed in the presence Of the
audience by some of the committee
who thoroughly soaped hands and
arms, and demonstrated that chemicals
were not used to protect her. Paper,
and also silk, which Mrs. Kaynor had
slowly held in the fame, and passed
through it without injury, were
burned upon being tried similarly by
others, when Mrs. Kaynor motioned
them to do so.

which the people of the South
are resenting, is the efforts OF
some to sell them limitations for
the real Simmons Liver Regu-
lator, because they make more
money by the imitation = and
they care little that they swindle
the people in selling them an
inferior article. It's the money
they are after, and the people can
look out for themselves. Now
this is just what the people are
doing, and merchants are having
a hard time trying to get people
to take the stuff they offer them

Since the Philadelphia Centennial Of

number all that the Government had
previously issued. But the impulse of
the exposition was not Immediately
felt, being first perceptible in the
number of patent applications in 1880.
We are now, in the opinion of the
Commissioners of Patents, and prob
