Languishing Eyes and Arched Brows BY

Transplanting eyelashes and eve
brows is the latest thing in the way
of personal adornment Only the
brave and rich can patronfze the new
method at present, for, besides being
painful and costly, it takes long time
to accomplish. In Paris and London
there are specialists who make hand
some living out of the process of trans
planting hair from the head to the eye
brows or eyelashes. The specialist
works by putting in, not on, the new
eyelashes and brows wherever they are
absent or grow thin and so cunning is
he at his work that not even The clos
est 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 pre-
viously considered ugly have their
beauty much enhanced. Most of the
hairs that have been transplauted 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 are said to become properly
assimilated, and it is not necessary to
give them further attention.

wine merchants do so extol. Finally,
the press yields its oozings into the

is to dispatch the casks to purchasers

The Italians do not do much with the
industry Of bottling their wines. Ev-

Why they danced appeared from the

Necessity of Denominations.
Denominations of Christians on earth
were necessary in order to better work
and to suit preferences-as an army
must be divided into regiments. yet
one army; as a neighborhood must be
divided into families, though one neigh
borhood. But there is no need for such
divisions in heaven, and therefore all
belong to one denomination of saint
hood. Christ said in one Of his SER
mons that there would be laughter in
heaven. Blessed are ye that weep
now, for ye shall laugh" And what
could cause more merriment among the
glorifed than a rehearsal of the early
differences between Christians, differ

minister who in the log cabin meeting
house preached in linen buster?
Among the great surprises of heaven
for the bigot will be the celestial
friendliness Of those who on earth OPP
