A Gre At Wedding Feast,

Miss Blurt, great granddaughter of
Lord Byron, was lately married to Ne
vile Lytton. a member of the Bulwer
Lytton family. After the wedding at
Cairo the couple rode ten miles across
the desert to her fathers place near
Heliopolis, where they were welcomed
by troop of Arabs and Bedouins
who, in honor of the festival, roasted a

nonrefillable bottle, by means Of which
it will be impossible for limitations O.,
authorizations of wine, beer, patent
medicines and the like to be sold in
bottles bearing given brand. That
these limitations and authorizations have
been sold is the reason for the demand
among manufacturers for a nonretilla-

Many attempts to supply this want
have been made during the past five
years. The latest is the invention OF
George Turrell of Paterson, N. j., who
has constructed what he calls a spool

the Six Companies do not sell their hui
man cattle. They hire them out. They
receive a stipulated sum for the work
of their lands, and they also receive
payment from each coolie for procur-
ing employment for him. The coolies
are therefore free; but TO all intents
and purposes they are slaves. Never
theless, they look upon the Six Com
panies as public benefactors. They are
provided with employment, and have
their transportation paid Tor them,
which, of course, they have to pay back.
The coolies are paid about $25 per
month. The Six Companies contract to
provide the board and lodging for their
coolies; and they charge enough to al
most absorb all of their earnings. Con-
sequently this trust" which deals in
human beings, simply permits the
coolies to live and make rich their bene-
factors CD by their toll.
Now be it understood that the Six
Companies employ highbinders, just
as American corporations may do. You

simply an e,>ecutive officer, or chief OF

Phil set the humming top to spinning,
and amazed his audience by placing
a bubble over that also. While the

canopy, Philip blew another bubble,
and called the attention of those pres

GEMS POSSESS LIFE.
yncloslng Them In Their Gases md
Giving Them n hest Adds
to Their Lunter.

Real Jewels, scientists now assert,
possess organic life. 1t has long been
known that opals and pearls grow DUH
when worn by invalids, and latterly
rubies and the turquoise are found to
share the same sensibiiity. 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 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 ard their influence
in the propagation of health and dis
ease Those invisible carnations which
surround the person wearing gems
penetrate the intcrsticcs of the jewel
and actually increase or decrease its
briliiancy. The inference is a true one
that rings and pins should be laid aside
by the isvalid. 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 70 rest. 1t freshens up Won

EYELASHES RENEWED.
by Transplanting the Hair, 1t Is Said,
Unattractive Eyes May he
Made Irresistible.

Transplanted eyelashes and eye
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
complish it.
There is only one person in New York
who makes specially 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, 1T 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.
Ills Is tuc way hSN ySioShNS a.
put in: An ordinary fnc needle il
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 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
tial 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
a 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 assimilateG. and it is not nee
essary to give them any further atteD-
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.

SPINNING TOP WITHIN A BUBBLE.

other through; then a small key; then
larger key; then two nails; and then
concluded the remarkable exhibition
by pouring some water through, after
which the bubble broke, The un-
usually long duration of the bubbles
was due also, as Philip explained, to
the low temperature of the room. AS
soon as the little ones were assembled
in colder room, dressed as if for A.
sleigh-ride. Phil blew bubble very
carefully upon II small looking glass.
At the expiration of 30 seconds its
brilliancy was seen to be greatly
dimmed and by the time so seconds
had elapsed all transparency had gone.
There" cried Phil, lis soap-bubble
which will last n year, provided the
room is kept cold enough, for that
bubble is frozen" This performance
so delighted the children that Phil
covered the glass with a whole array
of frozen bubbles; then he broke some
with pencil and famed the light
pieces of ice, which were like tissue
paper, all about the room.
Our young magician now resumed
his wonderful entertainment in the
warmer apartment. He began by blow
ing large bubble upon the lacquered
tray; then he blew another bubble in
side of this first one. "Two," he called
out and next, as If to amaze his au-
! dence completely, he blew another
bubble inside of this second one, fill
ing it, as he did SO, with smoke.
~ am about TO show you what 1
think is the prettiest experiment of
ALL" he said, and began to blow large
bubble upon plate. Then he placed
the lighted candle within lamp-chim-
ney, and thrust the chimney down into
the great bubble.
The browning triumph was yet to
come, however. Philip took tumbler
and half filled it with soapy water;
then he drew from the pasteboard box
small American flag, which he fas-
tened on a stick supported by bit OF
wire so that it hoated over the tum-
bier. Then, putting long clay pipe
into the glass, he called to his uncle
to blow plenty of smoke through the
pipe. The moment Pills uncle did SO
there issued from the tumbler an opal
stream of wondrous beauty-hundreds
and hundreds of pure white bubbles,
which poured down the sides of the
tumbler and upon the looking-glass
on which it had been placed. In few
moments one of the little bubbles
broke. A puff of smoke shot forth,
forming, as it did SO, a dainty, tiny
ring; then another bubble broke, and
another ring appeared; then the bub-
hles began to explode in such rapid
succession that it became impossible to
count the tiny wreaths.
