Exchange for wofnan's Work they have
received several requests to hunt up
well-conducted and pedigreed Angoras,
and the new industry seems to be
quite thriving.
The cats are very clever. Many OF
them are used in trick animal troupes,
and a great deal can be taught them.
AS in the matter Of pets, here again the
white ones are the favorites, being more
effective on the stage. A fancier who
deals largely in small pets, and es-
pecially cats, says he has now several
orders for Angoras for exhibition pur-
poses. One man has ordered two, which
ere now on their way from Paris, and
if they, too, prove a success, six more
will be imported for the same pur-
pose.
The principal places from which the
cats come are London, Paris and diff
ferent parts of Germany. Many are
raised here, and the kittens are sold
when quite young, but they are risky

choose ones favorite for the length and

for it necessarily means less years in

FALSE EYELASHES.
Produced by Means of q Needle Threaded
with Hair.


Produced by Means of Needle Threaded
with Hair.
The very latest false thing in the way
of feminine adornment is false eye
brows and false eyelashes, which are
put n-not on-with such cunning art
that even the closest scrutiny will not
discover the imposture.
At present the employment OF this
new discovery is limited to a small
number of lyric and dramatic artistes
In London and Paris-for the pain is
considerable. the process slow and cost
ly, but, like everything else, it will
doubtless spread, and in due time find
it's way across the Atlantic to these
shores.
1t was Partisan coiffeur, it is said,
who discovered the method by which
hairs can be planted, one by one, where
they grow thin upon the eyebrows and
in places where evelashes are missing
or short. 1t is said that, when shaded
by these long lashes, ordinary good
looking eyes take on a soft languor
that is irresistible. and that fine eyes
have their beauty much enhanced by
this device.
The operation by which new eye
lashes are put in is as follows: Armed
with fine needle, in which is threaded
a hair of the same shade as those which
it is to replace hair pluched from the
head of the victim is generally used
the operator attacks the extreme edge
of the eyelid, between the epidermis
and the light, fatty hem which borders
it. The needle passes in and out along
the edge of the lid, leaving it's hair
thread in loops of carefully guarded
length.
When this is done the ends of these
loops are cut off and trimmed, and the
result is fine, thick, long set of eye
lishes. 1t is the finishing touch, how
ever, which is to come which makes
them seem like natures own. When
they are first cut they stick out in the
most singular fashion, giving the per-
son a peculiarly weird and uncanny
look, like wax figure. To remedy
this the operators next step is to take
a pair of tiny silver curling tongs, no
larger than knitting needles, and give
them the exact curve which is essential
to perfect beauty.
The lower lid is operated upon in the
same way. Then the patients eyes are
carefully bandaged for ten hours, and
the following day there is no trace Of
the operation. 1t is claimed that these
false lashes will stay in, and with fire.
guent touchings up with the tiny curl
ing tongs will look extremely well for
six months. Then the process Las to
be gone through with again.
The composition of this lotion is a
secret, and it's inventor, knowing he
has good thing, does not neglect to
charge as much as he can get, and
many people prefer to suffer the physi-
cal pain instead.-N. Y. World.

savings. Show him the growth OF his
cents into dollars. Teach him that
money used for present pleasure is
gone, and that he soon wearies of his
bauble. Make him understand that
money is not elastic; that 100 cents
will buy just 100 cents worth of goods.
Let him buy and sell, and loan money,
TO yourself if need be, that he may I'M
stand business methods. Take him with
you to town when You go to make a
trade-purchase or sale. This will not
make him grasping if he receive the
right kind of training; it will make
him careful of little things.
Do not neglect the girls. You think
them eXtravagapt. How can they know
the difference between economy and eX-
travagarcc if they are never taught the
value of money? Give them a share of
something, but let them earn it them
selves. Make it large enough to allow
them sufficient amount to make all
needful purchases. Be their savings
ever so small, have them deposit them
in bank, If conveniently near. Let
them have bank books of their own.

ried from $40 for small kitten of
doubtful points to $40 or $50 for the
prize-winning beauties of catdom.
OF course, these cats and kittens are
not new; they have been known to
fame for centuries. But the present fad
for them is quite new, and no one need
be surprised on entering a fashionable
woman's boudoir to see ball of fluffy
cotton on the floor, which, on investi-
cation, will resolve itself into q long
haired and long-tailed Angora.

have been opened, in the process of put

BY a process combining both these
plans four envelopes may be made into
one both long and wide. After splitting
one end of each envelope and cumming
them together in the way just described,
the laps of all four are gummed to each

this case, as before, the documents to

THE NEW LAMP SHADES.
Ebay Are Called empire" But Look More
Like Tubs.

Ebay Are Called empire" But Look More
Like Tubs.
The newest lamp shades look like in
verified tubs. They are imported from
France, along with other things Napo-
leonic which have deluged the markets
for two years, and are called Empire"
shades.
Those which come from Paris are
hand-painted, and range from one dol
lar to twenty in price, according to the
size and the elaborateness of decora-
ton. The largest shade is about as big
as a large dishpan-or, to speak more
accurately, about "a inches in d.
ameter at its lower edge. Its width
is Is inches, and if it were not trans
lucent we should have literal repre-
sentation of 1.-The light under "a bushel.'
The material, however, is white paper,
decorated i'll light colors, and in pat
terms to suit the fancy of the artist.
One of the prettiest is a representa-
ton of Apollo driving the chariot of the
sun over masses of fleecy clouds, with
three maidens in his wake, who look as
If they might represent Morning, Noon
and Night. 1t is a pretty idea for
lamp, with the suggestion of turning
night into day.
The very large shades are intended
for piano lamps and the like. There
are, of course, smaller sizes for the TINY
Dresden ornaments that are supposed
to illuminate a lady's boudoir. These
are very daintily decorated with cupids
and blossoms, and are very small-not
more than six inches across. The same
style is used for candle shades, and
they look like tiny illuminated drums
standing on stills on the mantel piece
or dining table.
Small Dresden lamps are the correct
thing for the dinner table-one, two
or three, according to the length of the
table. These are trimmed with little
decorated tubs and give the table quite
the air of being ready for Nine. de
Somebody-or-other's feast of hundred
years ago.
Low lamps to stand in corner on
the floor are another fad. They are
about 2h feet high, chimney,

heavy, dark porcelain such as large
plant jars are made of.

About busting and sweeping.

1t is easier and better to use a whisk
broom for sweeping a fine carpet than
ii broom with a long handle. Carpets
that have a long nap should be swept
in but one direction. Otherwise you
sweep the dust into them instead of out
of them. 1t is slovenly housekeeper
who uses feather buster for all pur-
poses. Feathers are useful for getting
into corners and for cleaning orna-
ments into which you cannot manage
to thrust cloth, but such busters only
scatter the dust; you need cloth to
gather it and remove it permanently.
Blue cotton handkerchiefs are good for
ordinary purposes, but cheese cloth is
best for fine furniture.

Queen Louisa of Prussia and the Rose.

Before parting. Napoleon spent q
few moments at her side, and at the
end, turning, pulled from a bunch a
beautiful rose, which he offered with
gestures of gallantry and homage. Hes
itating a moment, the queen at last
put out her hand, and said as she ac-
cepted it: "At least with Magdeburg"
Madame" came the frigid reply, lit
is mine to give and yours to accept"
But he gave his arm to conduct her to
the carriage, ana as they descended the
stair together the disappointed guest
said, in sentimental and emotional
voice: rs it possible that, having had
the happiness to see so near the man of
the century and of all history, he will
not afford me the possibility and the
satisfaction of being able to assure him
that he has put me under obligations
for life?" With solemn tones, Napoleon
replied: Madame, / am to be pitied;
it is fault of my unluclxy star" Queen
Louisa's own lady in waiting related
that her sovereign's bitterness overcame
her at the last, and as she stepped into
the carriage she said: "Sire, you have
cruelty deceived me."-Prof. Sloane, in
Century.

is best 1t can be bought by the yard.
"A yard and a half will make a good
sized shade. Ordinarily they are made
about IL inches wide and 15s inches in
diameter. The edges should be curved
and the ends slanted, so as to make the
upper edge slightly smaller than the
lower. The paper is decorated, of
course, before the ends are fastened to-
gether. The fastening is a little wire
clasp something like those used to fas-
ten together sheets of manuscript, but
without the brass head. The point of
junction may be covered with a ribbon
band, ending in a bow at the top and
bottom.
Those who cannot paint sometimes
paste gilt or silver paper over the white
I'm decorative designs, and the result
Is pretty enough for common use.
These pretty shades have the great
advantage that, while they veil the OBJ
iectionable glare of the light, they do
not subdue it so unpleasantly as the
tinted or fancy paper shades. They
are also more in keeping with the new
styles in lamps and bric-a-brac in gen.
eral. Wire frames made purposely for
them sell at so cents and 81; but it is
easy to make a wire frame to fit tub.
The small candle shades are very
easily made. and number of them
perched about candelabra give pref
ty effect. They need not be more than
/ four or five inches in diameter and
three inches wide. These may be stuck
together with liquid glue, and the dec
grafton conceals the point of junction.
Any kind of fancy paper may be used
for any of the shades described. but
when one begins to use dark tints there
is danger of hiding ones light, which
is open to objection unless subdued
light is preferred-as in a studio or
Turkish room.

WHOLE WHEAT BREAD.
A Recipe That Has Boon Tried and Not
Found Wanting.

Recipe That Has Been Tried and Not
Found Wanting.
A tested recipe for whole wheat bread,
which we are glad to note is becoming a
part of the diet of every well-nourlshed
family, consists of one pint of boiling
water poured into pint OF milk. Cool
the liquid and when luke-warm add one
cake of compressed yeast dissolved in
half a cupful of warm water. Add a
teaspoonful of salt and enough whole
wheat to make a batter that will drop
easily from spoon. Beat thoroughly
FIVE minutes, cover, and stand in place
that is moderately warm for three hours,
Enough whole wheat to make dough
should then be added gradually. When
stiff, knead on your board until the
mass is soft and elastic, but not sticky.
Make the dough into loaves, put In
creased bread pans, and after covering
stand aside one hour. The time for
baking will depend on the size of the
loaves. If long French leaves, bake 30
minutes in quick oven. If large square
loayes, bake one hour at a moderate
heat. When crusty bread is liked the
dough may be in sticks and baked in
rams made for that special purpose.
Another tested recipe that requires less
handling and that is used by Miss John
son is made in the following way: Scald
one cupful of milk, add u teaspoonful
OF butter, the same quantity of salt, a
ia tablespoonful of sugar, and one cupful
of water. When lukewarm add one
nalf yeast cake and enough wheat
flour to make a thin batter. This should
be done in the morning, as the bread
rises quickly. After making a smooth
batter let it rise until very light. Add
whole wheat gradually and beating
continuously until as much has been
added as you can stir conveniently. If
the -four is not added gradually and
well mixed the bread will be coarse
grained. Turn into creased tins, and
when light bake one hour on a moder
ate oven.-N. Y. Evening Post.
