Mind for the Complexion.

For certain diseases the mud bath
is an old form of treatment, but new
application is being made of 1t by the
woman of fashion. 1t is claimed that
there is nothing equal to mud for the
complexion. The face and neck are
covered with a coating of clear black
river or swamp mud, which is permitted
to dry on. Care must be taken not to
get it into the eyes and not to leave any
spot of the skin uncovered, as 1T will
result in red blotch. When the coat is
removed, it is claimed that the skin will
be far softer than it is possible frctn
any of the well-known preparations;
all blemishes will be removed, includ-
ing hair and moles; and wrinkles will
disappear.

ROYAL MAIDS OF HONOR.
A Popular order just Issued by the
Cznrinn of Russia.

A Popular order Just Issued by the
Czarinn of Russia.
The young czarina is about to in
crease the number of her maids of |
honor and Of those who attend upon the !
grand duchess of her court. This is a
measure that meets with enthusiastic
approval, for the post of maid of honor
70 any one of the imperial princesses
and more especially the empress-is
most eagerly sought after by the noble
families of Russia. This measure does
not please Princess Kotchoubey, who is
the most important lady at the court of
Russia. She is the high priestess of all
matters of etiquette, and is exceeding
ly conservative.
From time out of date it has been the
privilege of the royal ladies of Russia
to receive personal attendance and serv-
ice from high-born damsels, the unmar-
ried daughters of noblemen and belted
knights. From the middle ages to the
present time it seems an understood
thing that their imperial mistresses
should find for them husbands of noble
birth and fortune, should dover them
handsomely if their parents are unable
to do so, bestow upon them costly mar
rage gifts, be present either in per
son or by representative at their we'd
ding ceremonies and stand as sponsors
to their first-born children. Thus, there
are many reasons why the post of maid
of honor is eagerly desired by all the
daughters of the Russian aristocracy,
and why the czarina's new determine
ton to add to their number delights her
subjects.
In England many privileges accrue
from this position. Formerly the maids
of honor were chosen for their youth
and beauty-"the highest in rank and
the fairest;" but Queen Victoria selects
her ladies for their companionable quail
tiles, for their accomplishments, and
from motives of personal affection. On
being appointed they receive and enjoy
for life the title of honorable" a sal
airy of 81, 500 year, and the gift of $4,000
when they are married. The latter sum
is, however, not given to maid of honor
unless she has held her appointment for
a certain number of years.
The maids of honor are in waiting
three or four times year, and their

NASHVILLE CENTENNIAL.

Descriptive Letter From Our Cores
pondent.
From our Special Correspondent
Nashville, June 1O.-The Worlds Fair
had its Ferris wheel, from the top of
which a view of the grounds and city
contiguous thereto could be had to
great advantage. The Tennessee Cen
tennial has it's Giant See-Saw which
serves a similar purpose-and while
elevating you to a height of 260 feet
makes your hair stand on end and
causes the timid and nervous to feel
faint This piece of mechanism is
constructed wholly of steel and is a
grotesque affair. Search lights turn
ed upon it at night from the tops of the
large exposition buildings give it a
wiered and fantastic appearance.
This Giant See-Saw is the concep-
ton of a Nashville man, who organic
ed company and put his ideas into
tangible form. 1t is built much on
the principle of an iron bridge, the
truss feature giving it strength, light
ness, and at the same time there is
storms. The See-Saw is a new and
popular feature of Vanity Fair.
1t goes without saying that travelling
men as a rule are a lot of bright,
quick, intelligent men, capable of plac-
ing a pretty correct estimate upon all
things mundane with which they come
in contact They were numerous at
their national convention in San An
tonic last year, and praised the city
and the hospitality of its enterprising
citizens in unmeasured terms. This
year their national convention was
held in Nashville. They were here last
week in droves, might say, from all
sections of the country. And every
mothers son of them went away boil
ing over with enthusiasm for the expo
sition. They viewed it in open-eyed
wonderment. They were the most sur
prised lot of men yet to take in the
big Centennial They could hardly
find words to give expression to the
great surprise they felt when they had
seen the show-or part Of it. (They
were not here long enough to see it

praises of the exposition, and Of Nash

one quarter of what can be said for the
exposition. have been out three or
four times a week since the opening
and every time / go find things of pc
culiar Importance that 1 had not seen
or heard Of before. Perhaps some peo-
pie may think that half a dozen build
ings or so is about all there is of 1t.
There are perhaps a dozen buildings
on the grounds that 1 have not been
into at all as yet, and have not seen
half of what there is to see in the those
have visited. Then out in the
grounds in every nook and corner there
is something to interest the visitor.
Flowers, fountains, statuary, palms,
and things of that kind, have been
worked in harmonious and artistic
combinations and effects by the land
scape gardeners until the 200 acres
within the enclosure is wrought into
one beauteous whole.
Some two hundred years before Co
lumbus discovered America an acorn
West Tennessee. 1t grew, and grew,
and grew-and the result of that
growth is on exhibition at the Centen-
NAL. The tree measures exactly elev-
en- feetin diameter at the stump end.
1t was not transported on cars, but
two pairs of trucks were prepared to
carry this giant of the forest to the
Tennessee Centennial. 1t stands
there on a track specially built for it,
and at the close of the exposition will
be sawed up into lumber by one Of the
local mills. Lumbermen say it will
turn out 5000 feet of lumber.
The Innes Concert band, one Of the
| finest musical organizations in the
| world, began a long engagement this
week, and the music committee of the
Centennial is being congratulated for
having exercised such good Judgment
in providing the best musical talent TO
| be found. But like every other fea-
ture of the exposition, the manage
ment has ought for and is satisfied on
| ly with the best. That is the secret.
No doubt, of their having provided
such a splendid entertainment for
those who are fortunate enough to at
tend. Mr.. Herman Justi, the hustling
chief of the Bureau of Publicity, is do
ing well his part in making known the
great merit of the exposition. He re-
ceives daily at the Press building most
of the leading newspapers of the coun-
| try, including the Daily Light, and
people from different sections of the
country get much satisfaction from
glancing over their home paper during
their stay here.

period of attendance is always deter
mined by the queen. They serve two at
a time, and, during attendance, which
is usually four weeks, they reside at
court. During this time they must
be in readiness to obey her majesty's
commands, sent by the equerry. Now
that so few state entertainments are
given their duties are light. The queen
has really two lives-one her court life
at Windsor, the other her private life
at Balmoral and Osborne.
The maids of honor in turn attend her
at all the state ceremonials and bear
her company in her retirement. They
drive with the queen, read to her, sing
to her, play to her, or converse, as she
determines, using their special accom-
plishments for her pleasure. A clear
and beautiful handwriting is q neces-
sity, for they have many letters to write
and copy; they must be good horse
women, and, of all things, good mu-
sicians. The queen is fond of music
and an excellent pianist herself, and
SO is Princess Beatrice, who often makes
demands upon her mothers ladies for
companions in riding and in reading
duets. There are eight maids of honor.
There is one extra maid of honor,
Hon. Constance II. Kerr. These ladies'
belong to department of the household
of which the mistress of the robes is
the head. Her principal Office is to
look over and pass the queens per-
sonal bills for dress, toilet, bric-a-brac,
etc. She enjoys precedence over every
lady at court. When in residence or
on visit she presides at the royal
household table This Office is now held
