The eastern women, especially those
in Turkey, paint their eyebrows with
gilt paint, and at night the effect is
very brilliant and oriental. When, by
chance, Chinese girl has eyes that are
not quite SO slanting az usual, she can
safely lay claim to special beauty.
Many Japanese women gild their teeth.
while the beauties of the Indies stain
theirs brilliant red. Some of the Afri-
cans stain their teeth jet black. Per-
sian women pencil the outer corners Of
their eyes to make them look almond
shaped, which is considered an especial
mark Of beauty. The women in many
oriental countries die their finger nails
with henna, others let them grow to an
enormous length.

sheet to be parchmentized is passC
through sulphuric acid and then through

discharge the surplus acid, the expressed
liquid being returned to the tank or

passed through washing apparatus as

water, being led and guided by rc'.
over which 1t passes, so that the FIRE,
acid is washed off or removed as far
possible by mechanical washing. The
sheet next passes through bath of sodu
solution or alkali and then through
nippers to express surplus alkali, which
is returned to the bath. Then the paper
is carried through an apparatus to be
further washed with water. Next it is
passed through bath Of bleaching ma

through farther washing apparatus,
again passed between presses and
squeezed, and then finally it is passed
through bath of glycerin, after the

The ancient pueblo builder. like his
modern descendant, was so completely
under the dominating influence of his
geographic environment that from sim
liar conditions he almost automatically
worked out similar results. In the mat
ter of site for his home, however, he
had some latitude, and the choice he
made reflected something of the social
conditions under which he lived. Thus
it is probable that in the earliest times
the people lived in small villages locat-
ed on the edges of valleys or near the
mouths of fertile fiat bottomed canyons.
They lived quiet, peaceful existence,
depending principally on the soil for
the means of subsistence, but not de
spising the harvest of grass seeds and
wild nuts which were at hand and glad
to break the even, placid course of ex-
istence by periodical hunting expedi-
tons to the neighboring mountains for
deer and out into the great plains for
buffalo.
In the course of time, however, other
and more savage tribes came to the re
gion, and these preyed upon the prior
occupants of the country, who were in
dustrious and provident and accumu-
lated stores against possible bad seasons,
1t is doubtful whether there were any
pitched battles or prolonged sieges, but
the robbers made periodical forays
through the fields when the crops were
ready for the harvest or perhaps as
saulted and looted some small village
when the men were away. Cosmos

graphical Society.

On several South African farms ex-
periments have been tried with Bur
chell's zebra. The zebras become as
tame as ponies, and are readily broken
in for draft work. The object of their
tanners has been to breed mule which,
like the zebra, is proof against the
tsetse fly. The zebras themselves run
we'll enough in mule team. though
they cannot stand overdriving. Lon
