Giided Beauties.

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, a Chinese girl has eyes that are
not quite so slanting as usual, she can
safely lay claim TO special beauty.
Many japanese women gid 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.

Gold In Barnato's Body

A German paper is responsible fol
the announcement that Barney Barnato,
still more than the legendary king OF
Gilded afresh every morning, deserved
the title of El Dorado-the MAN Of
Gold"-Dot because of his wealth OF
of his connection with gold mines, but
because his system actually secreted
gold. he was, says this credible au-
thority, the victim of a disease called
metallitis, his blood being permeated
with powdery gold, as were his eyes,
nose, ears and all of his mucous mem
brane. The pain caused by this condi-
tion was so intolerable that it is be-

Ta.ipg MarmaIade with the Kurd..

The Kurdish chief and his elder sons
stroked their boards and calculated
'Mashallah" whenever their European
guest put his fork in his mouth. MY
father, why does the Firengi eat with a
hoOk?'' q little Kurd asked at last, but
all the answer be got was smack from
his father, at which ke cried bitterly.
To console him l gave him a spoonful
Of marmalade, which terrified him; but,
fearful Of being punished again for bad
manners, he seized the spoon and
gulped il down like a pill, saying,
"Avolla Efendim." He must have
liked it all the same, for soon after
ward the father came and asked NE
what the "tatli" was ! gave him the
pot, which he emptied. Murad then
cleaned the knife and fork and shut
them with click into a patent clasp
knife. This put too great strain on
the chiefs curiosity, and he asked TO
see it close. After careful examiDa-
tion he remarked oracularly. ''Iu truth,
only in Firengistan can they make such
things of beauty. "-Clive Bigham's s

you have to pay postage if it is sent
through the mails. In our country near
" all official documents Of this kind
are given away, and are sent free
through the mails under a frank. The
British plan seems TO be the more SEN
sible Ii saves millions Of dollars every
year that are wasted in the United
States TO furnish public documents to
people who do not care anything for
them, and who throw them into the
waste paper basket as soon as they are
received. The charge for official publi-
cations is only sufficient to pay the cost
and u small margin for wastage- Thus
the government printing Office is self

profit Of $40, 600, ,000 or S12, 600, 600 an
nually into the treasury. On the con-
trary, on cur side of the Atlantic, it
costs $4,000, 900 or more to pay for

Making Love Up a Tree.

Billing and cooling among the Fijians
is curious feature in their social Gus
toms. 1t is decidedly against the rule
to do any courting within doors. The
gardens or plantations are the spots held
sacred to Cupid, and the generally ap-
proved trysting place of lovers is high
up among the branches Of a breadfruit
tree.
You may often walk around planta-
tion on moonlight night and see
couples perched 40 feet from the ground
in the breadfruit trees, one on each side
of the trunk, position which comes
fairly within the limits of a Fijian
maiden's ideas of modesty.
