BEAUTY,s DEBT TO PATENTS

Masks to Make D1mpIeS, raise Noses
and Artificial Forms.
Vanity furnishes the inspiration for
many of the inventions at the Patent
Office.
One of the latest Of this sort is a mask
very thin rubber, designed to be worn
on the face at night. IL causes perfuse
perspiration, which washes impurities
out OF the skin and makes the complexion
clearer. sun tan is quickly removed, SO
it is claimed.
Another device, for producing dimples,
IS Woman's idea. 1t is wire mask, j,

BY an arrangement OF screws, pencils OF
wood, very blunt, are made TO press upon
the checks and chin at the points where
dlmpIes are desired.

as the French say, IL is worth while to
suffer for beauty's sake.

II one IS so unfortunate as to lack a
nose, he can obtain false one of papier

attached to spectacle frame, so that the
owner puts on his counterfeit nasal organ
IN adjusting his glasses.
Masculine vanity is concerned in the
genesis OF about eighty patents for vari-
Gus xmas or mustache guards. One such
IS gold plate with spring, which may
be fastened to any drinking vessel at a
moments notice.
Another is especially designed for beer
glasses. A tube connecting with it goes
deep down into the beer, so that the mus
tached drinker is able to avoid the foam.

POINTERS FOR

81 would rather have news
papers than government with
out newspapers" said Thomas
Jefferson.
The newspaper is the famiI-
lar of all men, of all degrees,
of all occupations. fit teaches,
it teaches imperceptibly. 1t has
no pompous gown or scholastic
rod to abash or control, but
prepares itself and is admitted
freely and at once to a world
wide intimacy with all kinds
and conditions of people
Hunt.
l never take up a newspaper
without finding something I
should have deemed it a loss
not to have seen; never without
deriving from it instruction and
amusement.-Dr. Johnson.
The newspaper is the chron-
icle Of civilization. 1t is a daily
and sleepless Waterman that
reports to you every danger
which mendces the institutions
of your country and lis inter
ests at home and abroad. 1t is
a law book for the indolent, Il
sermon for the thoughtless, a
library for the poor.-Bulwer.
For almost all that keeps up
in us, permanently and effectu-
ally, the spirit Of regard for
liberty md the public good,
we must look to the unshackled
and Independent energies of
the press.-Hallam.
Freedom Of the press and
National liberty cannot exist

SILVER IN MEXICO.
EContinued from first page

gives the figures of the worlds
production of gold and silver
between 1870 and 1892. During
that period, the annual product
of gold fiuctuated in value, I'M
I'll in 1892 the gold produced
in the world represented only
SO per cent more than the gold
produced in 1870. AT the same
time the production of silver
increased until we find that the
silver output of 1892 was 800
per cent greater than the silver
output of 1870. The silver
market was overstocked and
the price of silver went down.
No amount of "false teaching"
can "effectually dispose" of
that fact.
Mr.. Raoul's peroration is
pretty, and can only be impTov-
ed by substituting English
directors for the word spec
pie" in the first line, and writ
ing sections hands, before the
word "unproductiye7 in the
fourth line. He says:
"The fight is now between
the people who are engaged in
productive work, who want the
the maintenance of silver as CO.
equal money of final payment,
and the unproductive hoarders
of money, whose only avoearion
is that of usury. and who want
all their money stamped gold,
under the fostering care of gov
ernmental protection, of which
the farmer and the artisan are
deprived"
For the sake of "the English
directors" it is to be hoped that
their chief executive knows
more about running a railroad
tilan he does about finance.
