 The woman did her best to stem this interrogative avalanche and mumbled scme answers. After about half an hours talk the philanthropic woman went away and was driven tc her home in Fifth avenue, leaving her card with her address at the poor woman's home A clergyman who did charitable work ili that section called on the Hester street woman a few days after the rich woman's visit. After some talk with her, she said to him:
 ''I tinks dat 1 will makes one call" "
 Well, my good woman, on whom do you intend to cIll?"
 She named the wouId-be benefact- ress.
 But said the clergyman, "do you know how to behave when you call upon such 8 person?"
 "Oh, yes!'' she said. ftI knows how they behaves und behaves myself just like 'em"

GLOBE SIGHTS.

(From the Atchison Globe)
 The more sympathy man gets, the worse he feels.
 You can't get along with some peo- pie unless you join their church.
 You should keep your inward feel ings secret, particularly silly cnes.
 There are so many outrages in the world that no one man can worry about them all
 When a doctor gives a bride a we'd ding present, people watch to see if he gets the future trade he expects.
 When a woman is sick, nothing pleases her more than for the doctor to say that he worried about her in the night.
 Some people are always excusing their deficiencies by saying that they don't do their best. Why don't they do their best?
 A great distinction is claimed by an Atchison family: at a funeral of the husband and father number of years ago, three of the women folks tainted.
 Every one longs for some one who understands him, not realizing that the cause of half the trouble in life is that a mans friends understand him too well.
 At recent dinner party in Atchisan, seven different kinds of wine were served, apparently. There were seven different bottles, but the wine all came from a 50-cent jug of native claret.
 An Atchison woman discovered re- gently that she had been sighted by failure to get an invitation to a party. In order to show that she entertains no hard feeling toward the hostess, she intends to go, anyway.

GIVE US THE HISTORY.

There is an error in the rep esenta-
 ton that half a mill on the dollar, as
 proposed for public libraries IS going
 to be a burden of tax on our citizens.
 If any one will take the trouble he
 will find that a citizen assessed at
 $20,000 will pay but $10 library tax a
 citizen assessed at $10C00 pays but
 S library tax. It would be well for those citizens who are lending opposi- tion to this most beneficial of public interests that any community can pro- vide, to weigh the lnOdicum of tax it will cost them with the benefits it will be to themselves and family, to the community at large and in 9 financial way to the good name it will establish for communities who have the intelli- gence and enterprise to support good public libraries.-Herald.
 We take pleasure in endorsing the above utterance The taxpayers who are opposing the library bill on the score of increased taxation evidently have not figured correctly. The burden would fall lightly on even the heavy taxpayer; it would not be felt by the average taxpayer. A library such as it is hoped to establish would be won derful incentive to the growth of cul- ture and knowledge in this com It is unfortunate that Pkoe- nix possesses SC many taxpayers who stand in the way of all progress. You never find them lending their aid to that make for the growth of the city. Be it q proposition to pave or light or enlarge the town they always are found in opposition. Phoenix will never be first-class city until this spirit is stamped out. We cannot begin to estimate the advan- ges that would accrue through the establishment Cf a good public library It is to be hoped that the Maricopa members of the legislature will withstand the pressure now being brought to bear upon them and work for the passage of the library bill. They could be engaged in no more creditabIe undertaking.

ELECTION OF SENATORS.

The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin
 does not look with favor on the prop
 osition to have the United States sena,
 tors chosen direct by the people. It favors methods that have "been in vogue for more than a century" In other words, it sees nothing objec-
 ticna0Ie in the legislative deadlocks in many of the states and the incident rumors of bribery and all that sort Of thing. The Bulletin makes this argu- ment against election by the people, or rather attempts to point out that no better men would be selected than are now chosen by legislators:
 The advocates of this change, how ever. lose sight of one important fact If senators were chosen like members of the house of representatives by popular ballot, they would necessarily be nominated as other candidates are nominated, by political conventions Party leaders and party machines. with their control of the primaries and caucuses, would find it at least as easy to fill a convention with their rollow- CTS as it is to obtain a favorable ma jOrity in legislatures. Delegates to nominating conventions are usually incOnspicUOu3 persons whose functions are brief, and who promptly disappear from view when they have carried cut the orders of their party chiefs. Where corruption is intended. it would as suredly not be more difficult to secure their votes by pecuniary payment or the promise of office than it is to gain the support of legislators who have fixed term in the public service and who generally cherish ambitions for future political career
 Much of which is interesting, and. unfortunately, too true At the same time the voters would be given an op- portunity to decide between good men and bad men. It would be forced upon those who took part in the nomina- tions that the wisest thing to do would be to nominate good men. No hoodlers and no men of incapacity would be elected if one side CT the other put up the right kind of a candi- date. The people would be able to de- eide for themselves and to decide in one day. The long-drawn-out legisla- tive contests would be a thing of the rast. The people would assume the re- sponsibility for themselves and there would be an end to the matter as soon as the votes were cast. As 1t is now there is generally a contest Of mere or less warmth every time a senator Is to be chosen. The record this year has beaten all others and the sentiment in favor of the election of United States senators by the people is growing.

HATE HIM, LOVE HIS DOG.

It was a sncwy day and the group oi school boys at the corner had each a snowball in his hand and was looking out eagerly for a target. It came up one of the intersecting streets, a sin gle boy, walking jauntily with his pet fox terrier at his side. The lad him. self was a mothers pet evidently; you could see that in the pretty blue sailor collar that he wore, spread out pictur- esQuely over the gray jacket of his suit. It was a temptation, and the group on the corner broke into excited whispers. One big boy made q sugges- tion that sent litter through the crowd. But a smaller lad vetoed it bravely.

Of course the democrats in congress are opposing the efforts to revive American shipping. General Grant once remarked that their party could generally be depended upon to do the wrong thing at the right time, and this is not the only recent proof Of it. It's objection now is to a reasonable sub sidy, such as has fostered foreign ship ping and practically driven us from commerce on the seas, giving our bil- lion dollars worth of exports to fer eign bottoms; just as the democracy opposed a protective tariff duty because in benefiting the many and building up American industry It might enhance the wealth of a few more than the rest The vote on the shipping bill now be- fore congress has resolved itself into party enc, and the bill will pass. l. will be followed by 3 revival of Ameri- can shipping that will add glory to the record of the republican party for it's constructive statesmanship, and place another black mark against the party of obstruction.

While it is true that the "era of good feeling" so far as our relations with Great Britain are concerned, is upon us and around us, it is very satisfying reflection that she no longer feeds Us our, daily bread.

The bill which limits the number of memberS of a grand jury to twelve ought not to pass. Under existing law the grand jury must be composed of at least sixteen persons, and not more than twenty-one. There must be twelve concurring votes to return an indictment. The danger of jury be- ing tempered with is greatly lessened by these provisions. With the mem bership limited to twelve it would be necessary to fix but one juryman to bring about disagreement TO man up a tree it looks as if the proposed law would have the hearty support of the criminal population. Why should law abiding people want it?

SMOKING TWELVE YEARS AFTER.

The man had been absent from New York for a number of years. During his absence many changes had taken place. Some of his friends had moved away and some had died Though he had taken the New York papers pretty regularly he had not kept up with these friends of his as he should have done. Consequently now and then some one of them that he thought dead and bur jed and forgotten came up to him and shook hands with him.
 Such shocks had the effect of giving him nervous T'ostratiOn, CT nearly; and they were of such frequent occur renee that his health not only became undermined, but he ultimately arrived al the conclusion that all his friends were yet alive.
 One evening he called upon a woman friend who was living at a notel Ar rived at her rooms, he found her sur rounded by a crowd of people, but he finally reached her and shook her by the hand.

HOW TO MOLD FACES.
life Masks MAY ne Taken Easily and
without Danger.

Human life masks may easily be tnken
by any one who Is at oil precise, neat
and willing to devote two or three hours
to learning and experimenting In this in
teresting work. Life masks are always
more satisfactory than death masks, Civ
ing the setting of normal rather than
fixed expression. There is absolutely
no danger, although it is difficult to con-
vince some subjects Of the truth of this
statement. When taking life mask,
the subject is told to sit naturally, with
the head held slightly forward and the
eyes gently closed. An apron is put over
the clothes for protection, and tuft of
cotton is placed In each ear to keep out
the plaster.
The plaster being mixed by dropping
II into water, one is ready to begin. The
mixing Of the plaster to the proper con-
sistency is one OF the most important
parts Of the work. A little salt may be
added TO make it set faster or a little
glue to delay the hardening. Bluing or
other color is usually added, so that
when one comes to chisel the mold from
the cast the two parts can be easily dis
tinguished.
The plaster is splashed over the face
with spoon, knife or stick. The breath
ing OF the subject draws the plaster up
an eighth or quarter Of an inch into the
nostrils. Thus the mask receives the
full impression OF the nose without any
distortion Of that organ by tubes being
inserted in 1t. The plaster Is prevented
from being drawn up too far by an un-
conscious careful control Of the breath,
As the plaster, in setting, reaches the
consistency of cream 1t may be applied

built upon until the mold has the desired
thickness. 4-et rss-
Care must be taken to have all parts
OF the face completely covered while the
plaster is thin and will take in the finest
lines. The mask must be built strongly
where II encircles the face and extends
from the forehead to the chin. But nm
der no consideration should the harden
ing plaster be pressed so much against
the thin film first applied as to crush II
against the face. 1t is evident that no
plaster should be spread over the open
ings to the nostrils. Within 10 or IL
minutes after the plaster is mixed and
2 or minutes after 1t Is fully applied
the mask may be removed by pulling
gently forward and downward. The
subject must hold his features quietly
uuilhb Tue OpeIulious ior even shhe
would break the thin film of plaster from
the face. After removing the mask ii
is allowed to harden thoroughly; then II
Is soaked in water in which washing
soda, alum or some similar substance has
been dissolved. This prevents the cast
from uniting with the mold. Plaster of
paris is then run into the mask, and
when it has become set the mold is bro
ken off, leaving cast of the face.-Sci-
ence Siftings.

The CbeerfuI Liar.

One Of the London Globes correspond
ents in India assumes the responsibility
for the following story: Two sportsmen
who were after wounded tiger man
aged to get separated. and at the mo-
ment when they were some distance
apart stripes made his appearance and
bore down upon one OF them. Ping.
went the rife, but the tiger came on.
'Pingp again, and. with blood flowing,
the beast sprang forward with jaws
apart. The sportsman saw his one
chance. He held the rife sideways and
horizontally to the growing beast, and in
a second the huge teeth were firmly
locked in the barrels. Then did that
cool headed man calmly hold the tiger
like dog at the end Of string till his
friend arrived and dispatched it."
