In Japan it is quite recognized
thing that woman should make up her
face with powder and paints and with
out doing so she would no more think
herself fit to appear in public than we
should if we failed to perform our morn
ing's additions. The process of making
up is somewhat complicated. To begin
with, the fair lady smears thick LAYER
of white chalk with soft brush on her
face, neck, shoulders, arms and hands
Then, having dipped her foreinger into
red paint, she carefully colors her
cheeks, temples and then over the ewes
Her middle finger is used for the black
pigment, with which she touches m her
eyebrows unless she has had them
shaved Off and blackens under the eyes
TO improve their expression. With her
little finger she gives the inishino
touches to her artistic efforts, adding to
her lips some brilliant carmine and
little bit of gold to set off the charms Of

Ten Persons, at Least, Lose Their Lives
Near Frankfort, NY.


Louisville. KY, July 22.-Ten lives

swept away with terrible force. Every
thing about Il, iron and all, except the
main abutmcnt. is gone.
The biggest property damage was
probably at Fences sawmills. The sup
ply of logs was tied up in great RATS
on the river just below where Benson
empties. Every log, representing more
than $4,000 feet of lumber. was sweT
away. Dispatches from all parts IN
the east central portion of the state
report great loss. Bridges on the Louis
Vile d Nashville railroad east of here
were washed out and traffic is at
