flushing is neither an art nor a sign Of
lll-breeding, and it is just as natural for
some folks to blush on occasions as it is
for others to turn pale on other occasions.
The small blood vessels which connect
the arteries and veins in the body form
network through which ordinarily the
blood passes in a normal volume, leaving
only the natural complexion. When some
sudden emotion takes possession of the
heart it's action increases and the blood
flows much more quickly through the en-
tire course Of the body, causing, as a re-
suit "a sort of electric shock, which is
nothing more than the rush Of blood
through the veins; the color or blush re-
sulting is beneath the delicate surface of
the skin. The cause hat produce this
condition are joy, anger, shame. On the
other hand, sudden horror, remorse, or
fear influences the nerves which control
certain blood vessels, and the face be-
comes white as a result.-St. Louis Star.

BOGUS OLD

There is no doubht tina the counter
feiters of paintings by well-known art
lists are hard at work in anticipation of
the rush of half-informed picture buyers
to the Paris exposition.
One well known picture dealer informs
ust that Brussels and Amsterdam are
full Of spurious old masters, and he in
stances the case of a picture sold by him
about a year 6 which has turned up in
the former city bearing a name more
famous than that of it's author, and

he has sold it.

Of the most famous falsifiers of pictures
in Europe are rushed with orders for

The London picture factories are turn
ing out old English paintings by the
dozen, and the INSCRIPTIONS buyer may
obtain Sir Joshuas, Gainsboroughs, and
Romneys for $50 inc 800 apiece. An ex-
pert appraiser at the New York custom
house tells us that he saw there lately
three dozen false Monticeilis and other
pictures on the same day.
This false pictures are not sold through
the regular dealers. They are peddled

this reason his name can not be given.
He could sell to a dealer, but the dealer
would want to make too much profit. He
would want to pay $4,000 and charge $15,-

the picture is sold for S $4,000. and the new

Paris, Aug. 9.-Not the least interesting
feature of the exposition is the display of
gowns which one is permitted to see
there. Waling through the picturesque
thoroughfares one is struck, first, by the
