NOTIFICATION IN COSMETICS.
How Fashionable Woman's Enameled
Face Turned Black at = Dinner Party.

Women who put themselves unre-
servedly into the hands of those who
profess to eradicate wrinkles, TO give
fresh and blooming compilations and
70 color the hair any tint desired,
should be careful TO do nothing rashly,
for the most disastrous results, says the
New York Times. have followed tho
use of certain French compounds,
which, composed of mineral substances,
actually tarnish under certain condi-
tons. A well-knOwn fashionable wom-
an, who had her face enameled after
new process, ami who was delighted
with the smooth, soft, brilliant effect
after the operation, was seen TO grow
strangely livid at a dinner party that
evening. Streaks of leaden-loolting
coloring appeared about her mouth
and nose and forehead, but, as she
seemed 70 feel quite well and In her
customary good spirits, no one liked TO
tell her Of her plight, although it was
not long before everyone at the table
was aware that something was wrong
with Mrs C.'s complexion. It was
afterward explained that the gas,
which may have been manufactured
with different chemicals from that in
Paris, which presumably had not af-
fected the "cosmetique' over there,
turned some mineral ingredient black.
After the ladies left the dining-room
the hostess concluded that il would be
the kndest way 10 tell her friend Of
her disagreement. Her modification
may be imagined, but she had the good
sense u laugh the matter off, and,

Deafness Cannot be Cured
BY local treatment as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There 10
only one way to cure deafness. and that
Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inAamed condition Of
the mucous lining Of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube Is inflamed you
have Q rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when 1t lie entirely closed.
Deafnsse is the result, aud unless the
inflammation. can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh,
