THE FAD FOR POSTERS.
A New Mania I'm Collecting Which We
Owe to the ParisianS.

The poster mania is a comparatively
new disease-an excellent disease, by
the way, for it furnishes material for
some rich and curious collections and
one which has brought into being a
whole branch of commerce and industry
far from unimportant The successive
stages of this commerce in posters are
interesting to note. When the first
works of this kind appeared upon the
walls the novelty lovers began their
campaign. How could these mural
frescoes be secured? To peel them off
the walls ones self at night seemed the
simplest plan, but it was also the most
dangerous. 1t involved the risk of be-
ing caught in the act, taken to the po-
lice station and soundly fined to say
nothing of the risk of "peeling' them
badly and getting off the wall only Il
thing of tatters. 1t became necessary
then to secure the completely of an
all-powerful personage-the billposter.
How many great collectors, honorable
and honored men, rich and we'll placed
in life, have bowed down before his
majesty the billpOster. The paster of
posters, realizing a sum which varied
with the Importance or the vogue of
the matter i'm hand, came to deserve
the name of the unpaster of posters.
That was the primitive period, the
stone age, Of poster collectors. The
bronze age began when one or two
print sellers in the neighborhoOd of the
Quais arranged with the billposters for
few copies which they sold to the
consumers. The print sellers, driven
by the growing flood of demand, final
ly decided that it was worth while t.
arrange with the proprietors of the
posters themselves that a part Of each
printing should be reserved for anna.
tours; and so the commerce in posters
became a real profession

American Girl i'm Her Travels.

THE American girl, wherever she
goes, is Immediately covered by the
lorgnon of foreign curiosity" writes
Mrs. Burton Harrison in the Ladies
Home Journal She can neither move
nor have her being without being dis
cussed as type of her now famous
class. No doubt her success, socially,
wherever she is known. has much to do
with it. Other women, Old and young
English women pre-eminently-are on
the lookout for her every departure
from good form. From her chance
trifling lapse at table d'hote in speech
or action from their accepted tenets
they judge her kind. This may not
seem amiable, but il is strictly true.
One can't make the round Of half a
dozen countries of Southern Europe in
the travelling season and not have it
borne upon ones inner consciousness
The chaperons Of other countries say to
each other "Ah, these American girls
they are sad poachers on cur pre-
serves" and consider it their duty to
condemn our maiden upon the smallest
pretext AS for their passing criticisms
upon her speech, that is matter Of
course, and to steer clear Of them she
might almost feel tempted to hold her
tongue altogether in foreign company.

WOMEN AS INVENTORS.
Some Queer Devices for Feminine Use
Made by the Fair Sex.

Made by the Fair Sex.
Significant of the times is the fact
that woman is rapidly coming to the
front as an inventor. Women are not
only filling thousands Of applications
for patents on improvements in articles
especially adapted and intended for
their sex, but they are exercising their
ingenuity in the direction of improving
many of the implements with which
men only as rule are supposed to deal.
The model-room of the Patent Office in
Washington bears witness to the fact
that the inventive genius of the fair
Sex, while perhaps not so prolific as
mans, has certainly accomplished re-
markable results.
One interesting and amusing inven-
ton by a woman is a crimping pin
which may be used as a paper cutter,
skirt-supporter, paper file, childs pin,
bouquet holder, shawl fastener, and
book mark. March 10, 1885, New York
woman patented a device for inducing
sleep. a description would be too
lengthy to be given here in full, but the
device consisted OF a collar-like band
Of rubber. partly encircling the neck,
and was fashioned so as to control the
flow of blood to and from the head by
limited pressure on certain veins and
arteries. In 1881 patent was issued to
Boston woman on two somewhat
novel devices. One of them was for re-
storing facial symmetry, and consisted
of spring plate with a head and two
prongs or forks. The head was to be
attached to the teeth and by placing
the prongs inside of the mouth so that
they would press outward against each
cheek, caused the cheeks in time to look
plump and full. The other was a finger
compressor made on two longitudinal
concave plates hinged together at one
end by spring hinges, and thus adapted
to fit the tips of the fingers while the
constant pressure reduced the size. One
of the inventions by the fair sex that is
supposed to be conducive of beauty is
nose improver. 1t consists of metal
Shell of the exact size of the nose de-
sired. The nose is we'll bathed and
then creased with olive oil or glycerine
until perfectly soft. The improver is
then attached and we'll fastened The
wearer then goes to bed. In the morn
ing the improver is to be taken off and
| the nose bathed in warm water. 1t will
! probably cause some soreness, but a
| few applicable are said to relieve the
pain. In this way, it is claimed by the
! inventor, any nose may be changed to
suit, the theory being that the nose is
only piece of cartilage and easy to
change it's shape.
