Inranious Imitation Feathers.

The demand for feathers for millin-
cry purposes has developed the skill
of New York artists to such an extent
that they are able to initiate many ex-
pensive and rare kinds of pluniage
with the cheapest and commonest
kinds of feathers. The tools en-
ployed are known as curling scissors,
alkali, feather workers paste and var
ious dyes. The most ingenious ap-
plication of these counterfeits was
the making of an artificial bird upon a
frame which was life-like in its natur-
alness and yet which was manufac-
tured of feathers taken from ordinary
barnyard fowl.

For the FinSer-Sails.

Even manicuring has its fashions,
its phases and its reactions. Highly
manicured fnger-nails are not at all in
favor just now. It was ali very well
when the fad was comparatively new
to 90 to extremes about pinking and
polishing your fnger-tips, but now
that it has had time to season, moder-
alton is to be observed. Nails so
blushing and apparently so well pol
ished that you can see your face IN
them are no longer good form. Hand
mirrors at the chatelaine are preferred.
The thoroughbred digit is all that Is
dainty, but Il never attracts attention
through artificial means. But little
co!oring is used, the polish amounts to
hardly more than natures gloss, and
the pointed cut has given way almost
wholly to the less obtrusive crescent.
There are also variations in the
technique of manicuring. Where the
file with the sand-paper board as finish
was formerly used for pairing the nail,
the sand-paper board is now used eX-
clusively. Everything tends to make
the manicuring process less Of surg
ical operation. The cuticle knife is
rarely used nowadays, the slender oar
shaped orange-stick accomplishing the
same purpose with less of force and
friction. Cuticle scissors are dispensed

with almost altogether. save in The
case OF some very refractory step
mother" That good old standby, the
pounce, is in danger Of banishment.
For insuring the iUst-right degree OF
nail polish, many manicures declare
that there is nothing, after all, SO ef-
Gcac;ous as q good rubbing from the

cOuncilmen present and the mayor in

DeYoe came in later.
Business left over from the last
regular monthly meeting was trans
acted. The usual bills were allowed.
except the police judges monthly bill
for August, which was referred to the
finance committee. The usual wran-
gle over this bill then occurred. For
some reason or other the councilmen
seem to be unable to understand the
reports Of the police Judge. 1t was
decided to let the report go to the
fnance committee for further inyeSti.
cation.
A gas bill OF $1,000 was ordered
paid. This bill showed up with sey.
eral hundred dollars interest tackled
to it. The interest was for delay In
paying an old gas bill a year or so ago,
because the gas furnished was Of a
very inferior quality. The old cOun-

that the gas would get better, and
when the bill was finally paid q bill

and has been ever since. The council
that night thought inasmuch as the
other council had rejected the inter.

accordingly the original bill was paid.

The water committee reported that
there was still an abundance OF water
in their prospect wells on the Mime

Kicked by Horse.

William Dunham. arrived in the
city Sunday night on the Rock Island
passenger from Riverdale, with his
l3-year.Old boy, who bad been kicked
by horse Sunday evening on his
fathers farm near Riverdale. The
accident happened few minutes be-
fore the Rock Island train pulled into
Rlverddle. The boy was leading the
horse when, without warning, the
animal jerked loose and, wheeling
suddenly, kicked the boy square in
the face. The injury is a very severe
one and may diSHgure the boy for life.
The horses foot landed in the boys
face, cutting cash clear across the
cheeks from beneath one eye to the
other, crushing his nose. As soon as
the train arrived here the boy was
taken to the office Of DR.. Martin, who
dressed the wounds. A large part Of
Che nasal bone was extracted. Upon
examination it was found that the
boys eyes were not injured, although
a bandage extending over the eyes
will be necessary until the wound
heals The young man showed quite
agrltty spirit while having the wound
dressed and he and his father returned
to Riverdale that night, where he is
resting easily.

Ordered to the Philippines.

Washington, sept. l..-Five regi.
ments now at San Francisco have
been ordered to Manila. Arrange
ments for their transportation will be
made at once. The regiments ordered
to Manila are the following: Fifty
first Iowa, Twentieth Kansas, First
Tennessee, First Washington and a
detachment Of the Second Oregon.
1t was stated at the war department
that no exigency had arisen which
made it necessary to send the troops
now at San Francisco to Manila, but
the order issued today was in accord
ance with the general plan Of the de-
partment regarding garrison for the
Philippines. The garrison plan in
cluded 10000 men for the Philippines,
1880 for Porto Rico aud 10000 fer
Cuba. Ten troops to be sent to Ma.
Mia under today's order will Gil the
complement for that station. The
troops would have been sent before, it
Is said, except that the department
was awaiting the return OF trans
ports.
1t is not expected that troops now
at Honolulu will accompany those to
be embarked at San Francisco, but
that more troops would be sent to
Honolulu 10 the near future.
1t is stated at the qusrtermaster
generals department that the return.
ing transports which have been to
Manila on one trip will be used to
take the troops now at San Francisco
to the Philippines. Two Of these
steamers, which will accommodate
about half Of the command, are ex-
pected TO arrive In a day or two.
Other steamers on their way will be
sent back as soon as they are loaded
with troops. Four steamers will be
sufficient for the transportation of
troops and supplies. 1t is believed
that less time will be consumed by US
ing these transports than in fitting
un new vessels.
The advance guard Of the naval ex-
petition for Honolulu, and eventually
for Manila, started yesterday, when
the Abarenda sailed from Fortress
Monroe, via Brazil. The Abarenda is
a collier, one ,of four which are to
keep the big battleships Oregon and
Iowa supplied with ceal on their long
voyage around South America. The
plan is to have two Of the cOlliers
precede the battleships and two to 90
along with them.
In addition to these escorting craft,
