TO IMPROVE YOUR LOOKS.
Devices for Making the Complexion Bet k ter and Adding to Physical Beauty.

Devices for Making the Complexion Bet N ter and Adding to Physical Beauty.
 Vanity furnishes the inspiration for many of the inventions of the patent office. One of these is mask of very thin rubber, designed to be worn on the face at night. It causes profuse precipitation, which washes impurities out of the skin and makes the complex ion clearer. Sun tan is quickly re- moved, so it is claimed.
 Another device for producing dim. pies, according to the Cincinnati Com mercial Gazette, is a woman's idea. It is a wire mask, likewise to put on when going to bed. By an arrangement of screws, pencils of wood, very blunt, are made to press upon the cheeks and chin at the points where dimples are desired. Uncomfortable? Why, of course. But, as the French say, it is worth while to suffer for beauty's sake.
 False busus, h1ps and calves are made of rubber, to be blown out like bal looms, and in many other styles, while the young lady of build hopelessly skeletonesque may procure complete stuffed jacket which fills out her form at every point to the extent requisite for counterfeiting desirable embon- point.
 If one is so unfortunate as to lack nose he can obtain false one of papier mache, artfully enameled to initiate the skin. One kind of imitation pro- boscis is attached to spectacle frame, so that the owner puts on his counter felt nasal organ in adjusting his glasses.
 Masculine vanity is concerned in the genesis of about eighty patents for various kinds of mustache guards. One such is a gold plate with a spring, which may be fastened to any drink ing vessel at moments motive.
 Another is especially designed for beer glasses. A tube connecting with it goes down deep into the beer, so that the mustached drinker is able to avoid the foam.
 Other guards are destined to be worn like spectacles somewhat, with wires to pass to the back of the ears of the wearer, and hold them on. The shield for the mustache is of gold or silver, or of fine gold wire net.

BIG JOHN MORIARTY.
Said to Be the Tallest and Strongest Man
 in Eastern Maine.

Said to Be the Tallest and Strongest Man
 in Eastern Maine.
 John Moriarty, known all over east ern Maine as Barney Kelley's Giant" died in Oldtown hospital recently of typhoid fever, says the Lewiston Even ing Journal. He has been for nearly two years employed as construction hand on the Bangor & Aroostook rail road, and later on the new Ashland branch. where he became sick.
 Moriarty stood 6 feet 94 inches in his stocking feet, and generally weighed 24O pounds. Had he been fat his weight would have been enormous. But he was very lean. Why" said Barney Kelley, you could feed the giant on porterhouse steak and eggs and he wouldn't gain pound; but he was an awful tough man!
 His arms were very long and he had hands as powerful as the paws of a gorilla. All over his body the muscles stood out in Jumps and cords, and his strength was immense. He could do as much work as two ordinary men, and on that account his services were all ways in demand at more than common wages. He was especially serviceable as derrick man-he could turn the heavy crank all day without tiring. An ax was like a toy in his hands, a cant-dog like a walking-sti He could up end and shoulder a small log or piece of timber that two ordinary men could barely lift, and in every department of hearty manual labor he was very Hercules.
 Many stories are told of the giants mighty strength. Once, when two saucy woodsmen ''guyed" him about his towering height, he seized them by the shoulders, one in each hand, and knocked their heads together till their teeth rattled--and they were two good sized men.
 At another time some toughs came into barroom where he was and pro- ceeded to "clear the place out" Mori- arty took them, two at time, and pitched them half way across the street as though they were 50 many ninepins.

Correct Measurement.

Some six years ago there lived in the city of K rather eccentric old man, remarkable for his shrewdness, who kept a pork shop. Three young fellows, thinking to have some fun with him, entered his shop one night and asked what his pork was yard. The old man promptly replied: ''One dol lar" One of the young men then said: I'll take a yard" Where is your money?" said the old man. The dollar was laid down, which the old man quickly pocketed, and then produced three pigs feet, with the remark: Three feet make one yard"

FRIENDS OF MAN,

A MISSOURI COW went to drink at a hole in the ice-this was in Glasgow froze into the hole and perished.
 A COW in Norway, Me-, recently killed, had in her stomach big piece of butchers bone with wedge driven into it.
 NEWELL FOSTER, of Pigeon Hill, Me-, has dog that he values greatly. Re gently when his life was in danger from the attack of an infuriated COW, the dog grabbed her by the nose and Foster got away all right.
 THE Portland police, not long ago, arrested a woman, who, in her cell, wept and walled for her dog until the kindhearted bluecoats sent for the an- imal. It was a pug, and its arrival stilledthe storm at once.

THE ITALIAN PEOPLE.
A View of Their Present Condition and
 Prospects for the Future.

View of Their Present Condition and
 Prospects for the Future.
 What are the prospects of the people? That depends in the present case large ly upon the people themselves. A peo- pie that are not united will never bear taxation patiently, because a disunited people cannot be commercially pros porous, and, therefore, cannot afford to pay the taxes. The difference between north and south Italy, or between Pied mont and Sicily, are not, indeed, like those between Ireland and England, largely religious, but they are certain ly radical, and the gulf between the easygoing, but passionate, children of the two Sicilies and the hardy noun taineer and stalwart cultivator of the Piedmont plains is almost as wide as the chasm between the Teuton and the Celt.. Victor Emanuel's favorite unifer of Italy was the army, but, says the Fortnightly Review, it has turned in the hands of his successor into a disin- tegrator. It was all very well to move the army up and down Italy when the army was symbol of common ibera- tion from which so much was expected; but now the tyrants are gone there is no longer halo of romance about the army, nothing but army bills. The tyrant now is the tax collector
 Undoubtedly the people have griev- ance. The taxes have been not only cruelty but unjustly exacted. The col lector has entered Sicilian cottages, backed by the police, and, seeing the pot-a-feu smoking, argued that those who could afford to eat could afford to pay supplement- or excess tax, and if it turned out there was no money. the officers of the law have been known to seize the dinner and throw it out the window, under the noses of the poor peasant and his hungry family. There was no redress for the subjects of Hum bert any more. than for those of Bomba.

 Addition.

But, notwithstanding they are now in tn city itself, there are few lots for sale vet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property. Buy lot now for residence and when business crowds you out the rents will SUD- port you in house outside in some addition where you can keep horse and drive into town and collect your rents. Terms, cash in one year, in two years at 10 per cent interest.

That Fake Interview.

The friends OF J. X. Burton are
glad TO know that their judgment oil
the St. Louis interview was correct
that it was a fake. The Lawrence
journal puts the forcibly as follows
The enemies Of j. r. Burton have
been making create apital over an al
legged interview that he gave to a St.
Louis paper, and have been drawing
from that interview the inference
that Burton is an egotistical fool.
The tenor and effect Of the interview
in great measure iustifies the con-
illusions. As a matter OF fact, how
ever, as the journal knows, Mr..
Burton never gave out such an inter-
view. At the time he was represent
ed as making his i0ollsh taik III o.
Louis, he was really in Washington
in blissiul ignorance Of what a re-
porter was putting in his mouth, and
never even heard OF the "interview"
until he was on his way back to
Kansas and read a western paper that
roasted him for his "fool talk.
Misrepresentation Of this kind is one
Of the crosses that prominent candi-
dates have to bear, and it is to the
credit Of Mr.. Burton that instead OF
getting raging mad about it he re-
cards it as "horse on him.

The Southwark Drift.

A few days ago a Chicago paper
presented a dozen columns Of special
dispatches from points in the western
states giving the movements Of such
emigrants as had left the respective
communities. There was remark
able unanlmity in the statements,
nearly all stating that the emigration
had been southwark. The indications
are that the craze which once attract
ed people to the bleak high prairies Of
the Dakotas and western Nebraska and
western Kansas is past. The popula-
ton Of the great west is drifting
south, steadily and Enthusiastically.
The uncertainty Of crops, the def
cient rainfall, low prices Of products,
high prices for fuel and lumber, have
seemingly influenced those who have
vainly endeavored to succeed on the
prairies, in favor Of more promising
sections Of the ns-Mississippi coun-
try. A number composed Of Ne
braska people have been attracted to
Louisiana; many individuals and fam
lilies have gone to southern Missouri
and Arkansas, while Of course, thous-
ands Of people from this State have
gone to Oklahoma. 1t is not to be
inferred that any exodus is taking
place, for that would not be true, but
that such as do move are taking that
direction rather than, as in former
yeals, following the setting sun west
ward to Colorado or on to California
and the far northwest The prairie
schooners and the freight cars loaded
with household goods are going in
that direction no more. The inference
is that the coming objective point Of
agricultural industries will DO the
southwest and that investors will do
well to keep sharp watch on that
section Of the field. Many WILDE dis
but there will be some rich |
developments also, and 1t is prob
able that more permanent agricul.
ture will be attainable than the up
land prairie region can ever produce.
At the same time that these emigrants
are leaving Kansas, Others are coming
In from the eastern states and taking
their places, so that on the whole,
kansas will suffer little. 1t will gain
new life and new blood, Its eastern
