The Fish. which Is to Come.

The fate Of the civilized world had
always hung upon the strength Of the
Aryan nations to repel the attempts Of
Asiatics to force their way into Europe
and to food the western world with
oriental ideas and habits, modes of gov
eminent and forms Of religion. The
struggles OF Greece with Persia and OF
Rome with Carthage, the struggles of
Greeks, Romans and Teutons with the
Saracens; the conflicts, extending to our
own times, with the Turks, were but SO
many acts in one long drama, of which
the earliest scenes are to be found in the
pages of He-odotus, and the latest might
be studied in the kilograms of the daily
newspaper.-"Life Of Freeman, Dean
Of Westminster.

The Treatment OF Headache.

"There are SO many causes for head
aches and 50 many conditions that lead
up to this distressing malady that it is
often very difficult to diognosticate the
case properly" said medical man of
wide experience. ''Of course, if the root
of the matter is not reached, medicines
avail nothing and may do mere harm
than good. One thing, however, is quite
certain, and that is that congestion is a
very frequent accompaniment of head
ache, and the pressure On the brain be-
comes extremely painful and may lead
to dangerous consequences. 1t is evil
dent, therefore, that any course of treat
ment that relieves the oveTfull blood
vessels Of the brain must be desirable.
1t is always best to consult some relia-
bic physician, if one is within reach,
but this great many people are averse
to doing, and some are so situated that
medical aid is net within call. For this
class of persons a simple remedy may
be mentioned that has been the means
CT relieving many a sufferer and is so
easily applied and SO absolutely harm
less that it is well worth knowing:
winch tiic cSa0inS, G4uuiti scIisth
ton begins in the head, take equal
quantities Of pure cayenne pepper and
-four. Mix them up with water to form
a smooth paste thick enough to spread
like salve. Put this upon a piece Of
soft paper and apply it to the back Of
the neck just below the edge Of the hair.
In VAIN weather it is best to wash the
neck with a cloth wet with soap and
water, as the oily perspiration may in
terfere with the action of the plaster.
One great advantage Of cayenne pepper
plaster over mustard is that, while the
latter frequently blisters, the former
never does SO, no matter how strong it
is applied. In the use Of mustard, if the
skin is broken. all treatment must cease
, until it heals, but with pepper, when
, the plaster loses its effect, another may
be applied without unpleasant conse-
quences. New York Ledger.

CHINESE HAIR SOAP.

It Is DisagFeeable to Look 1t, but Ha

In the great empire of China you rur
across some very odd things, writer
Margherita Arlina Hamm. One of thest
is what we might call hair soap and il
used for shampooing purposes. How il
is made never could find out, but fror
the mere appearance of the article
should say it was COMPOSED of fine curl.
ed hay, oatmeal, wheat husks, grease
and little borax. 1t looks for all the
world like some of the oil cakes which
dairymen feed to their cows in winter
time. In the market it is sold by the
cake, or to these who cannot afford the
luxury in small pieces. The cake is
round or elliptical in outline, from an
inch to 2 inches in thickness, from 12
inches to 2 feet in length and from to
10 inches in width. 1t must weigh two
or three pounds.
In using it your maid breaks off o
piece about as large as an ordinary cake
of toilet soap. When applied to the
hair, it produces q fair lather, and the
hay and husk separate and work their
way into the scalp. The rubbing causes
them to polish the scalp as well as the
hair itself The subsequent rinsing car
ries away all these vegetable ingredients
and leaves the hair and scalp III beauti-
full condition-the former soft and silky,
the latter pink and warm. While the
hair soap is very ugly to look at and
seems altogether ridiculous, yet if you
use it once you are simply charmed
with your new acquisition and employ
it regularly thereafter.
Equally odd and useful are the tongue
| scrapers They are made of tin for the
very poor, of silver for the prosperous
and of gold for the very rich. They are
about the general dimensions Of q
whalebone, excepting they are much
shorter. The shortest are four inches in
length, and from that they run up to q
foot. One end of the metal ribbon is
attached to silver ring, by which the
scraper can be hung from a nail in the
bathroom when not i'll use.

THE EGG DANCE.
A Beautiful Feat That Is Performed By
Hindoo Juggling Girls.

A Beautiful Feat That Is Performed by
HindoO Juggling Girls.
One of the most wonderful of the
many feats performed by Hindoo jug
glers is the egg dance. Usually it is ex-
ecuted by girl, Enthusiastically dressed.
She makes use of the willow wheel,
around which at equal distances are
threads, and at the end of each thread
there is moose, held open by bead.
This wheel the girl places on her
head, while she carries basket of eggs
on her arm. When the music strikes up,
she begins to dance, and the wheel be-
gins to spin around. She then takes an
egg from the basket, places it in one Of
the thread moses and throws it from
her with sufficient force to draw the
knot tight. The spinning of the wheel
keeps the thread stretched, with the egg
at the end of it.
She then takes another egg from the
basket, places it in another moose and
repeats this until there is an egg in ev-
cry moose. Her fantastic costume, her
perfect motion and all the eggs swing
ing ON the stretched threads at once pre-.
sent very pretty sight indeed. 1t re.
quires much art to execute the dance,
for at one false step the eggs would be
dashed together, the dance spoiled and
the dancer thereby disgraced.
After dancing for time with all the
eggs swinging around her head she take.
them out of the moose one by one, al
the time keeping the wheel balanced
and in motion, and again places then
in the basket on her arm.
When the dance is finished, the spec
tators are allowed to examine the egg,
to see that they are real.-Philadelphis

TABLEAUX D'ART.-The idea of rep
resenting heroic, historical and. myth
illogical scenes and pictures through
the agency of highly trained and
beautiful women, gracefully robed
and artistically grouped, has proved
more successful than any entertain
ment of novel character, that has
appeared in lecture courses in years.
This idea was originated and fully de-
veloped by Prof. Samuel r. Kelley in
his class work in the School of Flo
cution of the New England Conserva-
tory of Music, Franklin So, Boston.
The pupils there are taught to express
every phase, change and shade Of
emotion by gesture, posing and facial
expression; not only this, but they
make these rapid artistic and start
ling movements and combinations
with military precision and perfect
grace. The first public presentation
of their work was complete success
and excited the warmest admiration
and praise, and late appearances in
the best star courses has only con-
firmed their hold upon the public.
Twelve young ladies comprise the
number of persons engaged in giving
these Tableaux. Their costume of
creamy wilderness is arranged in
classic drapery, chaste and elegant
in every respect, close fitting about
the neck, and falling in graceful folds
to the feet. This company gives a
full evenings entertainment inter-
spersed with recitations and musical
selections, at Opera HALL, Tuesday eve.
Prof. s. F.. Kelley personally directs
the entertainment and acts as Lee
turer.
In these representations no curtain
or stage appointments are made use
of. The entire list of groupings are
given upon an open platform in full
view of the audience and instantan
eously. The coloring is done by
powerful calcium lights, the rays of
which are thrown upon the figures
upon the stage from the opposite end
of the hall, and by recent invention,
most beautiful prismatic hues and
color combinations heighten the tone
effect.
