for the article and their swiftness in
producing it. Dolls hats are made in
Luton and other places where the straw
plating is carried on.
England also produces the fine wax
dolls, some of the most artistic being
used as objects of ecclesiastical worship
in many Roman Catholic cathedrals.
To mold really beautiful wax face
requires high degree of artistic capac-
ity, the work of the modeler being ON
the same lines as those of the sculptor.
There is famous italian family in
London with whom the art has been a
tradition for more than one hundred
years, and has been carried down from
father to son. There is no subdivision
of labor here, the artist himself carry
ing out the process of preparing and
modelling the wax from beginning to
finish. Much of the beauty of the
faces depends upon the satiny surface
of the wax, the composition of which
is secret that has been for long in the
family. The intense delight that these
modelers take in their work, the care
with which every part is executed,
coupled with high artistic skill, COM
bine to render their wax puppets things
of so much beauty that they receive
orders from every part of Europe.
The purest East India wax, simply
colored, is used for the best wax dolls,
and as it is an expensive material,
great care is taken to prevent waste.
Some notion of the delicate and min
ute labor involved in the production of
a costly wax doll may be gained by
watching the processes of eye-inserting
and hair-attaohing. Each hair is separ-
ately inserted, each eyelash, consisting
of thread of soft hair, being also in
serted separately into the wax on the
point of knife, and then carefully
pulled and arranged with the blade.
The eyes have to be most carefully
adjusted. the thousandth part of an
inch affecting the expression of the
face which is often strikingly and suo-
cessfully like that of a rosy infant.
But when all the features have been
put in the doll is still far from being
perfect and has to submit to a number
of washings and polishings and pow
derings before it assumes the smooth
satiny appearance of the best specimens.
After the lips have been painted ard
the last touch is given the whole surface
is rubbed over with fat iron tool to
make it shine; this however is only
the lower coating for brushing over
of turpentine the superflous greasiness
of which in it's turn entirely disappears
under skillful application of violet
powder.
English manufacturers also excel in
the making of rag dolls. The name is
something of misnomer the face be-
ing small wax mask over which the
painted muslin face is closely stretched.
These capital playthings that will
stand any amount of rough usage are
extremely popular and the manufac-
turers find ready sale for their goods
both in England and America,
don Standard.

THE CALENDAR FIEND.

A long, lean, lank man, apparently
laboring under some strong motive for
excitement, stepped into prominent
insurance Office on La Sale street this
morning and asked:
"Do you give away calendars for
1895 here?'
Eyes, SIR" answered the agent
''Are they printed with great big
black letters, with red letters for Sun
days and little birds flying all over
them?'

fires, and where to get insured and all
that?''
Certainly.
"How many companies do you re-
present."
"Six or eight. There's the old
relia-"
Never mind. Do all of them send
out calendars?'
Eyes, sir, all except one, but"
''Do you mean to say that you have
one company that doesn't send out
calendars and doesn't intend to send
out any for 1852
YES
'Then," cried the long. lank, lean
man. feverishly, "that's the one I'm
looking for. I want to insure my life
for $50, 900 in that company. I've had
forty seven calendars for 1895 from
forty seven different companies stuck
ON my desk since the beginningsso of this
week and the worm has turned. -

THE FORCE OF HABIT.

Habit, habit, habit, how it binds
man with chains of iron!' exclaimed
the temperance lecturer out of job,
dramatically.
"And that s right, too," commented
the Son of Toll.
"Ah, my friend, you seem to have
had some experience with habits, said
the Lecturer.
"You bet I have" replied the other.
That's what causes all the misery Of
my life"
The Lecturer glowed with pleasure.
Here right before him as horrible
example and he proceeded to draw the
man out.
"You have felt the irresistible crav-
ing which drags you down, while all
your better nature is crying out against
it?"
"That's what.
"You have realized that your habit
was hurrying you to the grave at
breakneck speed and yet you have felt
that you could not resist it?''
Eyes, sir
"It has robbed you of sleep and
robbed you of food, made you bleary-
eyed, nervous and physically ex-
hausted?"
"Many and many night, sir, I've
gone without sleep just from thinking
of it, and it has got to be common
practice to go for long spells without
eating when the pressure comes'
"You have starved your family and
let your children go in rags because of
it?"
"Well, hardly that. My besetting
sin habit has taken care of my family
in pretty good shape"
"You don't mean that you are a
dealer?'
The Son Of Toll looked puzzled, but
he answered, "No."
"Ah, see. you have not yet reached
the lowest stage of degradation, and
you think to escape it. But let me

GOLD PRODUCTION LARGE.

The output of gold in 1894, in re-
vised estimate of the Director of the
Mint, is put at $174, 900, 900, or nearly
$40, 100000 more than in 1898. OF
this increase the United States supplies
81, 900, 900, Australia $4,000, 900, and
South Africa $40, ,00O,0 900. The gold
product of 1894 will exceed in value
the combined output of silver and gold
in the years from 1861 to 1865. From
1865 to 1878 the average value of both
the silver and gold produced annually
was about $3.50, 100000, which will
probably be equaled by the gold pro-
duction of 1895. 95.-Baltimore Sun.

depth of three feet The hailstones,
which weighed from one ounce to two

fantastic shapes and were woven around
rocks, sticks, earth beetles, frogs, etc.

A Useful Dream.

The following extract is from an arti-
Gle In "Longman's Magazine" by Mrs.
Leckey, on "The Roman Journal
of Gregorovius:" "He (Gregorovius)
made the acquaintance of Baron Won
Haxthausen, Westphalian, the we'll
known writer on Russia, who had q
tendency to spiritualism, and was inex-
haustible in ghost stories. Gregoropius
himself was great dreamer. In the
early part of the Journal he tells an ex-
perience which might be recorded in
the annals of the Psychical society.
When he was a boy at the gymnasium,
before his 'Arbiturienten' examination
-2he equivalent of matriculation-he
dreamt that the professor gave him the
ode Of Horace 'Justum ac tenacem
propositi virum,' to explain I studied
it well, he says, and when on the day
of the examination I entered the hall
with my school-fellows, told them. in
what way had learnt what was go
ing to be examined in. They laughed
at me. Prof. Petrany took up Horace
and said to me: Open at the ode, Jus
tum &C tenacem propositi virum. The
others looked at me in astonishment,
and passed brilliantly"

If the Covington, KY, Post is to be
believed, the Cleveland Plain Dealer
has genius on its reporlorial staff who
is bound to make his mark in the world.
He was assigned to write report of the
singing of young woman named Yaw,
and with this result:
miss Yaw is beautiful songstress.
She has an unusual developement of the
larynx, which enables her to throw into
vibration and with different degrees OF
rapidity the entire length of the vocal
cords or only part thereof. But Of

some times act independently. The epi.

wall in such way as almost entirely to
separate the laryngeal and pharyngeal
cavities at the same time that it gives

A DIVIDED PEOPLE.

The Lines of Caste Will Always Separate
the Inhabitants OF India.
That the two hundred and eighty
million inhabitants Of the conti-
nent of India should ever become
one nation is SO wild an improb-
ability, and, even if possible, matter
of so many centuries, that its assumed
realization cannot be made the basis Of
practical politics, says the National Re
view. England and Ireland are an ex-
ample Of the slowness of growth of q
common national sentiment In closely
allied peoples forming one state, and
the national unifcation Of medieval
Europe would have been a problem
analogous to that Of India to-day. For
Latin then, as English now, in India
was a common tongue for the educated
classes, yet the former did not supplant,
as the latter is not now destroying, the
popular languages. And the ideal Of a
temporal head of Christendom in tho
holy Roman emperor, with its attend
ant aspirations, was sentiment coun-
teracting local or tribal feeling strong
er than any that has yet arisen in India
from the superimposed authority Of the
queens government, while there Is
nothing in India to correspond with the
religious unity of Europe under the
popes. For Hindooism and Islam
show no signs of decay, and the antag-
onism between their followers is on the
increase. In the traditions of history
one of the most powerful elements Of
national sentiment, the pride of the one
Is the shame Of the other. The Mus
sulman glories in Aurangzeb; the fol-
lowers Of Gobind Singh and Sivaji de-
test his memory. Intermarriage is Inn
possible, and is a sin even among the
myriad castles of Hindoos. There is no
historical example of such q miracle as
the amalgamation into one nation Of
such multitude Of diverse elements,
and If 1t is to be effected the first
steps have yet to be taken.

HIS MEMORY HoNoRED.
Impressive funeral Of . Japsness We
Correspondents.

Impressive funeral Of . Japsness war
Correspondents.
One Of the largest funerals ever held
in Japan, say Toxic papers, was that Of
the war correspondent, Kumayosi Yam
asita, in Hiroshima, the present resi-
dencc of the milxado, few weeks ago.
More than six thousand people, includ-
ing representatives of the emperor, the
members of the cabinet and scores Of
high and powerful officials, attending
It. It was tribute Of the nation to
Journalism, says the New York
Tribune.
Yamasita was. sent to the front by
the "Tschin-K Kolxu," Of Hiroshima. At
the storming of Ping Yang, while in
the midst of the fight, he was struck by
q bullet and killed.
But attendance at the funeral was
not the only honor paid to the memory
of the first correspondent shot at the
front. On the day Of the burial the
newspaper men, authors and politi-
clans of Toxic met and adopted the fol-
lowing resolution:
''The duties of the correspondents who
are detailed because of their education
and great abilities to the front to de-
scribe for the fatherland the Incidents
of the war do not differ in any way
from the duties of the officers and the
troops. The law comes to the aid Of
warriors who fall in battle and provi'
sion is made for their widows and or
phans. But no one cares for the cor
respondent, and therefore we have de-
cided upon the following: First-If one
of our colleagues fall, all newspaper
proprietors of Japan are bound to print
that fact in a prominent place in the is
sues of their paper for three days.
Tributes of regret may be sent to the
editorial rooms. Second-All newspa-
pers are bound to contribute, In pro-
portion to the fortune of their owners,
to pension for the dead mans family.
Subscribers are also to be requested to
contribute. If, because of sickness or
wounds, the correspondent is obliged to
submit to treatment for considerable
time, the expenses are also to be borne
by u.s."
The propriete~ Of the paper gave the
widow of Yamasita large sum Of
money. He was one of the most briln-
ant writer's in the country.
