Hammond vs.. Hutchinson.

And again DR.. Hammond files a bill
against DR.. Mahion Hutchinson. Will the
eternal round never cease? The public
must be tired out by this time with his
numerous suits. He files bill against
Dr.. Hutchinson and it is thrown out of
court-then he files another. The old
doctor, they say, has blood in his eye.
This last suit is ridiculous. DR.. Hutchinson
is ordered by the directors of the Ham
mond Sanitarium Company to continue its
business at No. 720 Fourteenth street,
corner New York avenue, and DR.. Ham
mond says he is more powerful than the
directors and will not allow it-sic.

Facial Expressions.

Don't roll your eyes up into your head
as if they were marbles. A fine pair of
eyes will be utterly ruined by this operation.
The girl with pretty mouth will purse it
up into the prettieSt bouton, and continue
the habit until many lines form about the
lips and the lovely mouth ifiis to be put into
the hands of beauty doctor.
Nearly every woman bites or sucks her
lips. Others contract the brows and pro-
duce two burrows between theeyes- Others
perpetually wear a up-tiited nose. The
true expression of a face doesn't consist OF
a set of features hung on strings or wires.
Do cultivate placid features.-St. LOUIS

Orna nlentS.

An ornament must have some excuse for
being in order to be really worth the time
and trouble required 10 take care of it. In
stead of this We have representations of all
sorts of quaint and queer things that appear
to me to have no right whatever in the
drawing room, to say the least. The library
is a good place for oUriosities, unless one
has special room devotedto such purposes,
and they ought TO be kept there instead of
in the rawing room or parlors. A cabinet
with shelves might be placed in either of
these rooms and filled with articles ap-
propriate to the apartment.

u recital of some famous charge by one who

hundred red Indians in it. and to which all
thrill responsively; the serving of game gives
impulse to one who discourses with clever
descriptive force of "a hunt when we were
down at Fort "" such a chase leaving
the women breathless with excitement and
all sympathy for the creature fain; ices in
