THE SULTAN ROUGEs.
Abdul Hamid Paints His Face to Hid,
His PalIor.


His PalIor.
Turkish ladies of quality and of n quail
ity paint their faces. The painting ap-
paratus is formed with row OF small
bottles containing the paints and set in a
little pad or cushion, says London Truth.
The cushion is adorned with 8 network
and fringe of many y-coIored beads. The
practice of painting, however, is not con-
fined to the ornamental sex. Itis resorted
to by the Padishah and those Pashas
forming his inner circle. His sub.imity
has thick coat OF rouge on his cheeks
when he goes on Fridays to the mosque.
1t Is to hide the pallor TO which the fear OF
Vizier and Ministers, to keep him in
countenance, rouge also and dye their
hair and boards.
Hair dyes, however, are not a new
fashion. They came in during the reign
OF Abdul Aziz. The Circassian mother OF
Sultan Mourad could not endure the sight
of his premature gray hairs. She per-
suaded him to use a hair restorer, which
it is said, helped to make him mad. 1t
gave him violent headaches. His Nea-
polltan doctor followed the Sangrado
treatment. Whenever Mourad com
planned of the aches he gave him a de-
pressing hot bath, and leecned him on the
temples and benind the ears. He some
times applied as many as seventy without
stopping. DR.. Ludersdorf said the cephal-
algia was due to nitrate of silver and
litharge in the hair dye.
AS the Sultan's hair and beard are still
Jet black, he doubtless uses hair restorer
which may affect his mind. He is very
cunning, very patient in "pipe-l laying"
and mas managed to become vastly
wealthy and to shelve the Sublime Porte.
But he Is not OF sound mind and is al
hcted with any number of manias that
conflict with each other. The terror of as.
sassihatior never leaves him. He issues
from the Yildiz on Fridays so blanched
with fear that the rough parts OF the Wis
age seem by contrast of the deep req OF
the peony.

VANCOUVER, B. c., June 26.-The
news that a health officer at Liverpool
lately condemned as unfit for human
food a consignment of canned salmon
has created CONSERVATION among the
British Columbia canning men. If the
British buyers grow afraid of canned
salmon, the loss in trade to British
Columbia and Washington and Oregon
will amount to 100000 a year. The
canneries here, lacking further informa-
ton than this mornings cable, are per-
picked as how to account for the trouble
as the most clesnly methods have been
adopted.

SOUTHERN WOMEN.
Put on Pedestal and worshiped b
the Men.

Put on a Pedestal and Worshiped by
the Men.
All plantation life is to considerable
extent patriarcnal, except that instead of
the women being subordinatcd to mascu-
line pleasure and aggrandizement, as with
the patriarchs of old, they are set on a
pedestal and practically worshiped, says
Lippincotts. 1t makes little difference to
this modern patriarch of the cotton belt if
his cuffs are frayed and his coat rusty, SO
long as his wife and daught ters wear suits
to church that are as stylish as his crops
can pay for and their village dressmaker
can devise. 1t is a feature OF the day il,
the South, as well as elsewhere, that
women are being better educated than
men.
In tine northern States of the Union this
higher culture is tending manifestly 10
cell bacy, but in rural localities through
the South the girls come back from acad-
emies and colleges and accept the young
men who stayed at home to work the
plantations, the same ones they would
have married had they not gone away for
the education the parents sacrificed so
much to bestow. They know what splen-
did material these men are made of, and
in the attraction between the eternal
womanly and the eternal manly the ques-
tion of book-learning counts for little.
To lead patriarchal life without a
patriarch would be dull indeed, and it
must be said that it requires courage of a
superior order to remain single in a situa-
ton which would offer little aim and
stimulus outside of wifehood and matern-
ity after youth has waned. For this rea-
SON youth is considered the high priz e.
the valuable capital and stock-in- trad e.
The women fade no earlier than their
Northern sisters, but. owing to an in :
herited habit OF thought, the label of de-
cav is respectfully fastened on them by
the popular mind while they are still in
their prime and in the Northern and East
ern States would be accounted capable OF
all things, even of marrying well.

TO CLEAN KID GLOVES.

Anyone who has tried cleaning
gloves with gasoline CT naphtha,
knows how the natural oil of the kid
is taken away and the gloves left dry
and lifeless. Then. too, dark gloves
are ruined by this method of cleaning,
for the ends OF the fingers are left
colorless and gray. But it remained
for an ingenious woman to find a
remedy for these effects of cleaning by
this method, for, really, nothing SO
effectually removes the dirt from kid
as does gasoline. 1t is much better
than the expensive preparations put up
by druggists.
Her method of cleaning, in the first
place, is to put glove on her hand,
then dip the whole glove in an open
dish of the gasoline and while the KID
is wet, rub quickly over with soft
wooden cloth. If the glove dries before
it is thoroughly cleansed, the whole
hand is dipped again and the cleaning
continued as before. Wetting the
whole glove at once prevents rings or
streaks from forming, as they would,
along the edge of any one portion that
might be wet alone. This is the secret
of success.
After the gloves are cleaned, she
takes the least bit of vaseline and
rubs between the thumb and finger of
the ungloved hand, rubbing until the
fingers are we'll moistencd with it. but
not enough to grease the glove. She
then rubs carefully over the glove
with this thumb and finger, renewing
the vaselne when necessary. The
whole glove is treated in this manner
and the result is highly satisfactory,
as the gloves take on a luster such as
they originally possessed.

A circus was in town, one of the old
fashioned caravan" kind, when 1t was
not the custom to travel by rail. The
minister. with due regard TO the pro-
prieties, was spending the morning at
home, not even having offered to take
his children to see the animals"
when there came a ring at the door
A little German was shown in, and in
broken English made it known that
he was the pantomime clown of the
circus, and that he was extremely
anxious TO be married to one of the
circus riders of the same institution
Immediately after the afternoons per-
formanee. The minister, who always
took kindly interest in applicants
for such services, very readily con-
lsented, and at the time appointed, the
little German clown and his prospec-
tive bride arrived, accompanied by a
friend. But it Immediately developed
that the bride WAS unable to speak
anything but French, not word of
German or English. Here was diff
ficulty that for moment nonplussed
the minister, but the forethought OF
the parties most interested saved him
from serious embarrassment, for the
friend was able to act as interpreter,
and the ceremony was easily com
pleteu, after which the bridegroom
pulled from an inside pocket a roll of
bills, and, without counting, handed
the roll to the minister, VINO, as his
custom was with all marriage fees,
turned 1t over to his good wife.
The minister, with a kindly interest
in the couple, made some inquiries as
to the lives of the newly married
couple, and took occasion to advise
them to get out of the circus business
and away from its Establishments In
the meantime the minister's wife had
been holding a conversation through
the interpreter with the bride, and had
returned the marriage fee as we'd
ding gift to her.
Two or three years passed, and the
incident was forgotten by the minister
and his wife. until one day the same
little German appeared at the door,
another circus being in town. The
minister feared that his advice had
gone for nothing. But he was mis-
taken, the little man who made fun for
iclrcus attendants announced to him
that he had bought farm in New
York, where he had left his wife and
