70 IMPROVE YOUR LOOKS

Devices for Making the Complexion Bet
ter and Adding to Physical Beauty.
Vanity furnishes the inspiration for
many of the inventions of the patent
office. One of these is mask of very
thin rubber, designed to be worn on
the face at night. 1t causes profuse
perspiration, which washes impurities
out of the skin and makes the complex
ion clearer. Sun tan is quickly re-
moved, so it is claimed.
Another device for producing dim
pies, according to the Cincinnati Com
mercial Gazette, is a woman's idea. It
is wire mask, likewise to put on when
going to bed. By an arrangement of
screws, pencils of wood, very blunt, are
made to press upon the cheeks and
chin at the points where dimples are
desired. Uncomforta bile? Why, Of
course. But, as the French say, it Is
worth while to suffer for beauty's sake.
False busts, hips and calves are made
of rubber, to be blown out like bal
looms, and in many other styles, while
the young lady of build hopelessly
skeletonesque may procure a complete
stt-sffed jacket which fills out her form
at every point to the extent requisite
for counterfeiting desirable embon-
point.
If one is so unfortunate as to l,.cis a
nose he can obtain false one of papier
mache, artfully enamelcd to initiate
the skin. One kind of imitation pro-
boscis is attached to a spectacle frame,
so that the owner puts on his counter.
felt nasal organ in adjusting his
glasses.
Masculine vanity is concerned in the
genesis of about eighty patents for
various kinds of mustache guards. One
such is a gold plate with spring,
which may be fastened to any drink
ing vessel at moments motive.
Another is especially designed for
beer glasses. A tube connecting with
it goes down deep into the beer, so that
the mustached drinl5er is able to avoid
the foam.
Other guards are destined to be worn
like spectacles somewhat, with wires
to pass to the back of the ears of tho
wearer, and hold them on. The shield
for the mustache is of gold or silver, or
of fine gold wire net

treasure and brings it to England,
leaving, we will suppose, some condi-
tion under which he received it unful-
Glled. Now, then, why did not
Jonathan Small get the treasure him
clf? The answer Is obvious. The
chart Is dated at n time when MOrstan
was brought into close association
with convicts. Jonathan Small did
not get the treasure because he and his
associates were themselves cOnvicts
and could not get away"
But this is mere speculation, said l.
1T Is more than that IL Is the only
hypothesis Is which covers the facts. Let
us see how il fits in with the sequel
Mai. Sholto remains at peace for some
years, happy in the possession Of his
treasure. Then he receives a letter
from India which gives him "a great
fright. What was that?'
"a letter TO say that the men whom
he had wronged had been set free"
''Or had escaped. That is much more
likely, for he would have known what
their term OF imprisonment was. 1t
would not have been a surprise 10 him.
What does he do then? lie guards him

white tradcsmun for him, and actual

white mans name t. on the chart.
The others are Iiindoo8 or MOham-
medans. There Is no other white man.
Therefore we may fay with confidence
that the woodcn-leegcd man Is idcnti-
:al with Jonathan Small. Docs the
reasoning strike you as being faulty?'

A PIE-EATING HORSE.

He Has Been Known to Refuse Oats for
Pie and Is Fat and Sleek.
Leonard Jacobs, pie peddler OF An
sonia, Conn, has one of the most re-
markable horses In Connecticut. Other
towns have boasted of horses that chew
tobacco, chew gum or drink beer, but
Jacobs horse will eat pie, says local
exchange. The horse is twenty-three
years old. Jacobs pies come from New
Haven, packed in cases, and III trans
portation some of them generally get
broken and cannot be sold. One day
Jacobs threw broken pie on the
ground near tho horses head. The anil
NAL smelled of IL, touched 1t with his
tongue, Tapped it up and ate 1t with
relish. Then Jacobs began to feed pies
TO the horse. The horse soon got to
like them, and would even refuse oats
when pie was TO be had. The habit
has grown on him, until now, when
Jacobs says ''pie" to him, the horse will
turn his head and winlS, ,expectantly.
He has decided preference for mince
pie, and the more rsssins and currants
and cider there are the better he Is
pleased. Apple pie is great favorite
with him. Most bakers put grated nut
meg into the apple pie, and this doesn't
seem to agree with the equine taste.
Pumpkin pie he likes and cranberry
tarts are an especial delight. Peach.
apricot, berry and prune pies are ac-
ceptable, but unless the prunes arc
stoned he will not touch prune pie after
the first bite. The horse Is fat, sleek,
and youthful in his movements, and
jacobs expects TO keep him on the pie
cart until he is long past the age when
most horses arc turned out TO grass for
the rest of their days or arc carted to
the horse cemetery by the side OF tho
murlly waters of the Naugatuck river.
