1t should be remembered that the
use of vaseline is freely advised both for
badness and to increase the growth of
eyebrows and eyelashes; the inference
is obvious. therefore, that its use on the
face would have a roughening, if not an
octual hair-producing effect. A pure
cold cream, got from reliable drug
gist, or made from any one of the many
good formulas that may be obtained, is
almost the only salve or pomade that
should be freely used upon the face.

SHE WORE DOG LICENSE.
Because the Chilly Metal Gave the

A few afternoons ago a tall young
woman, very smartly arrayed, and with
an uncommonly large and varied as
sortment of climbing chatelaine articles
attached 10 an amethyst-encrusted gilt
belt, strolled down uptown Seventeenth
street, closely followed by tiny, shiv-
ering, cringing chihuahua dog. The
dog was collarless, but wore a belt har-
ness trimmed with cerise ribbon. lie
did not permit himself TO be left more
than two feet to the rear of his mis-
tress' heels.
At one of the corners there was q
sudden rattle, and Gagged wagon drew
up alongside the curb at the point
where the young woman and her dog
were walking. A big, black dog catcher
sprang from the rear of the Gagged
wagon, and in a trifie less than no time
the pampered little Mexican dog was
whimperingly struggling in the meshcs
of the dog catcher's net. The dog catch

catcher didn't know what to make of
her conduct. He expected her to be-
come hysterical and to frantically de-
mand the return of her pet. But there
didn't appear to be any hysteric in her.

American HernIdrr.

A foreigner coming into England is
amenable to the laws of honor of his
own country and the authorities con-
trolling them in that country so long as
he retains his original nationality.
Those foreign laws and the laws of
armOrial registration and control vary
considerably. but there is one funda-
mental code which is now and has been
for some centuries admitted practically
from one end of Europe TO the other.
With countries outside Europe one need
not trouble. American heraldry is be-

AUTOMATIC coUPLERS.
The First Invention, Its Inventor and
Others Were Overwhelmed
in Nuin.

The idea of self-locking coupler
suggested itself to inventors many
years ago, and away back in 1856 or
whereabouts prosperous Kentucky
farmer named Mclean figured out a
device that seemed to fill the bill TO a
dot. 1t consisted of a pair of inter
locking levers, controlled by a very
simple mechanism, and the model
worked like a charm. Mclean was sat
isfied he had fortune in sight, and
went north to interview a certain big
railroad magnate. To his surprise the
magnate failed to enthuse, and, while
he admitted that the invention was
a good thing, he declined absolutely
to have anything to do with it. OF
course, he was proceeding on the
well-known theory that it is folly TO
waste money improving the service
when you don't have to, but the farm
er couldn't grasp the idea, and he be-
gan pilgrimage from one headquar-
ter office to another, appealing, expos
tulating and explaining the merits of
his apparatus. What bewildered him
was that everybody freely admitted the
utility of the thing, but nobody would
consider its adoption. Finally the war
came on, and everything else was swept
into the background for four years.
After peace was declared Mclean be-
gan again, confident as ever. He had
been worth $4,000 or 100000 when he
started, and he eventually reduced him
self to perjury. Everything went
into the nav of the invention, and
along about 1868 he died, a broken
hearted brother. The coupler patent
then passed into the hands of a cousin,
who was a merchant in Louisville.
When he studied the device he became
an enthusiast and began a new cam
paign where Mclean left off. To make
a long story short, he sunk everything
he had on earth in an effort to get it
adopted, and finally committed suicide.
His lawyer took the coupler for back
sfees and inherited the hoodoo. In a
little while he was devoting his entire
time and attention 10 the work of pro-
noting, and seemed continually on the
verge of reaping a big fortune. He
kept at il until his health and re-
sources came to an end together. and
the last heard of him he was working
as a clerk in Los Angeles. Meanwhile
the coupler had been outclassed by
new devices, and only few months ago
the old model was in a Chicago rail
way Office, where it had been left as a
curio. Strange, isn't il, that a really
valuable and useful invention should
have wrecked so many lives ?-N. o.

MALAYAN TRAITS.
Principal Points of Character of the
Philippine Islanders Are IE-
nOrance and Cruelty.

The Malay race is impassive, reserved,
and even bashful. so that. until one
knows the race better, one can scarcely
credit his bloodthirsty reputation. The
Malay is entirely undemonstrative. If
he has any feelings of surprise he never
shows them. Perhaps he experiences
none, no matter how wonderful the
sight which meets his gaze. He is slow
and deliberate in speech. and circum-
lOcutory in introducing a subject to be
discussed. Even the children and wom-
en- are timid, and scream at. the sight
of European, while in the presence
of the men they are silent and taciturn.
Even when alone. the Malay neither
talks nor sings, in this respect differing
much from the Papuan, who has all
the negro traits of chattering and
singing TO himself for company. Over
pay a Malay for some trihe and his
countenance betrays no sign of emo
ton; a Papuan will be grave for a mo-
ment out of perfect establishment at
the mistake made, and then burst into
peals of grinning laughter, while he
bends in two, and finally rolls on the
ground in ecstacies of merriment. The
Malays. when in company, in a canoe,
chant plaintive. monotonous song; at
other times they are silent. The Malay
is cautious of giving offense TO anyone,
and accordingly will hesitate to quarrel
about money matters, and rather aban-
don just debt due to him than run
the risk of feud with his equals. In
his ordinary life he is as impassive as
the typical Scot, and as fond of the
nil admirari line of conduct as the
American Indian, though. unlike him,
the Malay does not dissemble his feel
ings or play part. He has really lit
tie, if any, appreciation of humor, and
does not understand a practical Jest.
To all breaches of etiquette he is very
sensitive, and equally jealous of any
interference with his own OF anyone
else's liberty. To such an extent does
he carry this idea that Malay servant
will hesitate to waken another, even
his own master, though told to do so.
The highest classes are exceedingly
polite, possessing all the repose and
quiet dignity of the best-bred Euro
peans. There is, however, another side
TO the character of the Malay. He is
reckless, cruel, and careless of human
life; possesses but poor intellect, and
has neither taste for knowledge nor
any indigenous civilization. - Cincin-
