EYELASHES RENEWED.
BY Transmitting the Hair, 1t Is Said,
Unattractive Eyes May Be
Made Irresistible.

Transplanted eyelashes and eve
brows are the latest things in the way
of personal adornment. Only the brave
and rich can patronize the new method
at present, for besides being painful
and costly, it takes long time to &C
.omplish it.
There is only one person in New York
who makes a speciality of the process,
but in Paris and London, where the
idea originated, there are specialists
who make handsome living out of the
process of transplanting hair from the
head to the eyebrows or eyelashes. The
specialist works by putting in, not on,
the new eyelashes and brows wherever
they are absent or grown thin, and
so cunning is he in his work that not
even the closest scrutiny can detect
any difference.
By means of the new process, it is
said eyes which are at ordinary times
only passable become languishing in
their expression, while eyes which
were previously considered fine have
their beauty much enhanced.
This is the way new eyelashes are
put in: An ordinary fine needle is
threaded with a long hair, generally
taken from the head of the person to be
operated upon. The lower border of the
eyelid is then thoroughly cleaned, and
in order that the process may be as
painless as possible, rubbed with So
luton of cocaine. The operator then
by a few skillful touches runs his
needle through the extreme edges of
the eyelid between the epidermis and
the lower border of the cartilage of
the tragus. The needle passes in and
out along the edge of the lid leaving its
hair thread in loops of carefully gradu-
ated length.
When this has been done another
and another length of hair is sewed
through the lid until finally there are
a dozen or more loops projecting. By
this time the effect of the cocaine has
been lost and the operator is obliged
to desist and put off the further ''sew-
ing of hair" for another sitting.
The next step in the process is cut
ting off and trimming the ends of the
loops, and the result is a fine, thick,
long set of eyelashes. 1t is the finish
ing touch, that is to come, that makes
them look like natures own. When
they are first cut they stick out in the
most singular fashion, giving the per-
son operated upon the most uncanny
look. The operators next step is to
take curling tongs, made of silver and
no larger than knitting needles, and
to give them the curve which is essen
tal to perfect beauty. Then the eyes
are carefully bandaged and kept so I'M
til the following day.
Most of the hairs that have been
transplanted take root and grow, but
few of them fall out and have to be
attended to. For the first month it is
necessary to curl the new eyelashes
every day, but after that they become
properly assimilated, and it is not nee
essary to give them any further atten-
ton.
Eyebrows are doctored in the same
way, but there is not so much pain
associated with the process as in trans
planting eyelashes.-N. Y. Herald.

fore it is well to irrigate transplanted
trees.
In watering plants of any kind a
large proportion of the moisture ap-
piled is lost by evaporation. A very
simple method for sub-irrigation of
trees is shown in the cut. Take four
pieces of eight or ten-inch board, two
feet long, and nail them together into
simple, four-sided box without ends.
Set this in the ground at the base of
the tree and let the top project above
ground three or four inches. Throw
some coarse grass or trash into the bot
tom of the box, and pailful of water
can occasionally be poured into the
box and allowed to soak into the earth
gradually. In this way no water will
be wasted and the surface soil can be
kept finely pulverized and conserve the
moisture down at the roots. This meth
cd of watering is especially practicable
for transplanted trees, because their
roots are all in a small compass and
have not yet spread out the height of
the tree, as will be the case later. A
large tile forms an ideal box of this
kind. Soapsuds or waste water of any
kind can be used to good advantage in
this manner.-Guy E. Mitchell, in
Epitomist.

THE WEAVING PROBLEM.
In Order to Make n Good Calf the
YOungster Should BE Weaned
Almost Instanter.

A lady in Mississippi has fine calf
grade between the Jersey and the
Friesian breeds. She does not need the
milk and queries whether it be best to
turn heifer and calf into pasture or to
let the calf draw the milk twice day,
Either way would spoil both dam ana
calf.
In order to make a good COW of the
heifer and a behaved youngster of
the calf, the best time to wean a calf is
instanter. No matter what the object.
A calf, if healthy, can be taught to
drink from the bucket in three days.
We are not unmindful of the fact that
the natural way for the calf to look for
nourishment is to loel up, but we also
know that to drink any drinkable sub
stance, either water or milk, the calf
must hold its head down; hence, sooner
or later, it must look down in order to
drink.
We are also mindful of the fact that
the first milk is a physic, but that fact
has never given us any trouble; the
first milk drawn from the dam does
not lose all of that property. Another
season for the 'instanter" is that a
heifer is easier to handle and to gentle
or break to milking. The process is
agreeable to the animal to have relief
from a distended udder. When the
calf is placed in a pen or stall near the
dam and she sees it doing well, she will
new a little, but will soon quiet down
and be content, especially when she
notices the contentment of her young
and it chewing the cud.
There is always more or less danger
of young COW learning to suck her
self, vice when once learned she will
never forget. There is no end of trouble
with such an animal. There is a beauti-
full young Jersey COW that practices
it. All manner of contrivances have
been applied with very Indifferent re-
suits. OF course, in very valuable
animal it may be endured, but can never
be entirely cured.-C. w. Murtfeldt, in
st. Louis Republic.

FOR COUNTRY RIDING.
Plaid for the Daring Wood
land CycIienne.

The costume of this woodland cy-
clienne is worthy a paragraph in the
most conservative of fashion articles.
1t is specially adapted for long spins
through shady groves and also for
rough-and-tumble riding.
1t is developed in lightweight Scot
fish goods trimmed with bands of
bright silk poplin, which in their turn
are finished with narrow strips of
braid. The writer recalls one partic-
ular woodland cycling suit of royal
brown plaided with Prussian blue and
a generous tracing of crimson.
The skirt was the ideal rainy-day
length, very faring at the hem and
close-fitting about the hips. The full
ness was laid in plaits at the back
Around the foot was a plain band

Feed and Pork Flavor.

There is vast difference in the quail
ity of pork. Some is sweet, tender and
juicy. Some is directly the reverse.
Feed is largely responsible for this
difference, says the Epitomist. In ex-
periments, conducted for the purpose
of determining the influence of food on
the quality of pork, it has been found
that milk, corn, barley, oats and peas
produce the most solid and best-fia-
vored meat. Potatoes produce a soft
pork. By-products OF the flour mill
make an inferior pork. Oil meals pro-
duce pork that is oily and of poor flavor.
The meat made from feeding beans is
without flavor, and hard and indigesti-
BILE. Acorns do not make good pork.

Roads of the Future.

This nation must sooner or later turn

GEMS POSSESS LIFE.
IncIosing Them In Their Cases and
Giving TheR n Rest Adds
to Their Luster.

Real Jewels, scientists now assert,
possess organic life. 1t has long Keen
known that Gpals and pearls grow dull
when worn by invalids, and satterly
rubies and the turquoise are found to
share the same sensibility. Pearls are
more indicative of the condition of the
wearer than any other gem. Though
this delicate stone lives longer than q
flower, it seems to have a form of life,
which, like that of the flower, loses
color and brilliancy and actually does.
Nor is this property unfounded in rea-
son. Science has latterly learned much
concerning gems and their influence
in the propagation of health and dis
ease. Those invisible carnations which
surround the person wearing gems
penetrate the intcrstices of the jewel
and actually increase or decrease it's
brilliancy. The inference is true one
that rings and pins should be laid aside
by the invalid. Even in good health, it
is better to give them an occasional
rest. To inclose them in their cases and
put them away is to insure an access
of luster. Even clothing should be
treated to rest. 1t freshens up won

brush the garment and hang it in dark

ventor has introduced what he terms a

from milk without churning. 1t COM
bines the principle of the well known
separator, so far as removing the
cream from the milk is concerned, but
the butter is produced from the cream,

milk, separating the cream and CON
verting it into butter being done at the
same time with the one machine.

The Neck Chain Is Gone.

Definitely the chain is gone. Too
great popularity killed it. In its place
the bangle ventures to put forth, but
the result is in doubt, and by determin-
eddy putting off their watches women
have ceased to make themselves the
slaves of time. In truth, never was so
little jewelry worn as in this summer
of grace, and the fancy for oriental pat
terms is as marked as ever. AT night

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fcvers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

PLENTY OF WORK TO DO.

There is not much excuse for idle
ness in the intemountain region these
days. Every able-bodied man ought to
be able to get something to do. Per-
haps he cannot find the opening he is
looking for; his trade may be already
supplied with workmen; the easy
places may be filled; there may be more
to do outdoors than in the shade, but
there is plenty of work to be done
The hills are full of fortunes, and,
while many a man goes hungry search
ing them out, there are opportunities
to make fair wages washing the aurif-
erous sands of the Snake river in Idaho,
the Grand in Utah and a half dozen
similar streams.
Experienced prospectors find the field
included in Wyoming, Idaho and Utah
profitable one, for it has never been
more than half prospected, and is COW
cred with beds and pockets and veins
of ore as plentiful and as valuable as
have been discovered. Southern Utah
and southeastern Nevada are practi-
cally unexplored, but railroads are
being extended in every direction. and
active. long-headed men are taking adj
vantage of the general development of
the region Some of them are out on
their own hook, taking up land, locat-
ing claims, or appropriating water sup
plies, while others are employing men
to carry out this work for them.
This whole intermountain section is
naturally a mining country. Almost
every other business is supplemental to
mining. When the mining camps are
busy, and new processes and extraor-
binary interest in mines this year have
set them all in motion, prosperity
every trade and industry in the |
state.
There is plenty of work to do, and if !
a man is willing, sober and honest, he |
ought to find employment in any of the |
mining states without much trouble.
