times tempted to make an effort to change
the whole shape of the child's face, for
am convinced that the effect of a we'll
developed Roman organ on chubby
laughing face will be decidedly startling
when the child grows up. And think
how grateful he will be when he learns
that he owes it to a whim of his mother!
"Oh. yes, 1 often receive orders for diff

babies are brought in by their nurese with
orders for straight, a Greek, a Roman,

for they know that 1 will study the face
and produce a becoming feature. l can

THE shaping of a child's brows is
much simpler undertaking than changing
the nose. 1t needs attention but once a
day, and then after the bath. The neces-
sary implements are quite simple and may
be used by any one. They are a tiny
comb and brush, a scentless salve and a
little steel implement for removing super
auous hairs Every morning the brows
should be brushed freely. Then by deft
strokes the comb brings the brows into
the desired proportions. Then gently but
firmly each needless hair should be ex-
tracted with the plncers. Lastly with
the tips of the fingers apply the salve,
which will give luster and increase the
growth. This salve may be had colored
and used to darken the brows, but where
the training and care of the brows are be-
gun in childhood, additional color is hard
ly ever necessary, since the growth is gen.
orally sufficiently and well outlined to OBJ
Viate a lack of color

brows never use a pencil. That is a mis-

colors the skin and not the hair. 1t does
not impart gloss and is always easily Wis
ible. If your brows absolutely need an
addition of color use a sort of paste made
for the purpose. 1t comes in hard cakes,
resembling Indian ink with tiny, but
stiff little bristle brush This brush
should be moistened and rubbed on the
cake, then delicately, very delicately, rub
bed over the brows, which have previous

should be taken to prevent any of the stuff
from getting on the skin, for while it is
perfectly harmless, it is plainly visible and

SPIDERS AND CRABS OF FLORIDA.
Some of the Queer Living Things
Found in the PeninsuIar State.

From the Jacksonville, Fla, Citizen.
On the borders of the Everglades you
often see a large yellow spider. He
swings a strong web from two plant
twigs on each side of path or clear space
of ground and waits for his prey. The
web is in the shape of a hammock and
tapers at each end to a fine point, though
quite broad in the middle The bright
color of the owner seems to mark him out
for destruction-he is clearly defined
against the white sand or dead leaves,
and you wonder what he would do for de-
Tense in case of attack. Approach quietly
and he watches you intently. Now raise
your hand suddenly, and he will disap-
pear! While you are wondering what be-
came of him you see first a blur where he
had been, then several spiders, then you
catch sight again of the yellow ball you
noticed at first. Repeat the performance,
and the stage effect is renewed. The dis
appearance is absolute-there can be no
doubt about it, and the little magician
trusts to it entirely for his protection.
How is it done? AS soon as he is threat
ened he starts the vibrations of his airy
hammock. These become too rapid for
the eye to follow, and he vanishes. As
these become slower you see a blur, and
then several spiders as the eye catches
him at different points of his wings, I'M
til finally he rests before you.
Haunting the rookeres of the birds in
the southern part of the peninsular is a
large blue crab. He makes a hole in the
ground, usually under a log, and when he
hears a noise elevates his head and pro-
trudes his eyes with startling effect. He
is able to take care of himself for his PIN
GERS are powerful, and his shell is hard
he is often as large as a saucer. There is
perpetual war between him and the birds.
He wanders among the nests at night
and appropriates the bits of fish left by the
nestlings, and the young themselves If
he can find a mother off her guard. But
he has to be sly or he is killed by the
stroke of bayonet bill, and eaten in his
turn. When the plume hunters have driv-
en- off or destroyed the parents of a rock
cry, these crabs swarm out and devorr
the orphan young in short order. But
while the mothers are allowed to do their
duty, the crabs are ideal scavengers, and
devour the refuse as well as the insects
that infest the bird cities. Their bright
colors, like those of the tiger, make them
less dangerous than their appetites would
otherwise be.

HABITS OF TIE BuaIBLEBEE,

NEW BRICK FoR STREET PAVING.
Contains Silica, Alumina and Iron,
Making 1t Harder Than Steel.

From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat
Vitrified brick is highly spoken of as
paving material, in which capacity it
promises to become a strong rival of both
asphalt and wood. The brick is thorough
Iy annealed and blended so as to obtain
the maximum degree of hardness and
toughness, together with the minimum
tendency to absorption of water. The
bricks made from shale are the best The
silica, alumina and iron they contain give
a material that is harder than steel. 1t
is the only substance that will success
fully resist the calks and the heels or
the horses shoes. 1t wears uniformly.
AS the bricks are -absorbant and uni
form in size they present an absolutely
water-tight pavement, which is easily
cleaned by washing or sweeping, and az
fords the best sanitary pavement yet dis
covered. Brick pavings can be easily re-
paired. They are comparatively noiseless
and less slippery than either granite or
asphalt They have been successfully
used in Holland for 100 years, and, in this
country at Charlestown, w. Va, with
out any repairs for twenty-five years.
They are now the standard pavement in
many other cities. One of the tests for
determining the value of brick for paw
ing purposes is the RATHER or abrasion
test. The bricks are put into foundry
RATHER, together with 800 pounds of scrap
iron and revolved for 1900 revolutions.
They are weighed before and after. The
percentage of loss is said to be equal TO
twenty-five years wear in the street. In
such tests the Alabama made brick lost
10 per cent, while other bricks lost Z to
10 per cent
