MANICURES NOT NEEDED,
Advice From an Expert Concerning the
Care of the Nails.

From the New York Sun.
The manicure has become nearly as i'm
portant in every barber shop as the brush
boy. The habit Of being manicured is
more general than ever before
At the same time among men who have
long been accustomed to the services Of
| manicures there has for the past few
years been a reaction against them. Mani
cures no longer useful these men say;
most of them have had inadequate prepara-
ton and In the so-called manicure parlorS
they try to attend to too many customers.
The practice of having regularly the
services of a manicure Injuries the nails
eventually unless the operators are skillful
and careful. If they try to produce with
strong acids the effects that should be
obtained by slow and deliberate work, the
nails will ultimately be spoiled
ANY man can keep his nails looking
as well as he could want Them" said
chiropodist who looks upon manicure
as an entirely unnecessary evil. by own
ing a few pieces Of emery paper, an ivory
nail cleaner piece of pumice stone and
above all else a stiff nailbrush, he can do
without the services of manicure.
THE nailbrush is the most important
implement. Hard rubbing of the nails
with a stiff brush will do more for them
than anything else in the world.
TT keeps the nails naturally white, and
gives the effect that manicures try to pro-
duce with acids. The stiff brush also tends
to prevent the hang nails, as the bits of
flesh that cause these are removed when
| they are very small and before they de-
velop into serious abrasion
The small emery papers that are to be
had for less than cent apiece keep the
nails short and enable anybody who uses
them to shape the nails. The flesh about
the nail and at the base. which to this day
most manicures cut, although, the practice
| is very injurious and they know it, can be
kept from growing over the nail by pushing
| 1t gently backward. when the hands are
| damp after washing and the flesh pliable
"All these things can be done by any
! man who will give half an hour a week to
| the task. That will be less than the mani
| cure would require, and his hands will
| more than they do under the care of a
manicure"

Novelties in Ceramics,
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

FROM the brooklyn Eagle.
Among the attractive novelties this sea-
son in ceramics is the graceful little urn
for coffee and tea dregs When decorated
with design of blossoms of the tea or
coffee plant this urn is as appropriate as
1t is ornamental Another. novelty in cera-
mics Is the sabot, which comes in several
sizes, and is intended for vase. Flowers
look especially well when arranged in 1t,
and violets adapt themselves admirably to
its contour.
Guests finding, at their places at a table
a miniature cup and saucer may feel in
some doubt as to its purpose. The cup and
saucer which are made in one piece repre-
sent the new celery dip. Decorations OF
tiny forget-me-nots or arbutus embellish
these little dips. The wine cup is a new
and pretty change from the ordinary way
of serving claret in a glass. Made of thin
china, handleless, slender in shape. and
decorated perhaps with tiny rosebud
wreaths the cup is a dainty addition to the
dinner table.
The new china spoon holder is a great i'm
provement on the old one. 1t is much
easier to pick UP the spoon from this oval
shaped receptacle than from its predeces-
sor, in which the spoon lay fiat A pleas

Like a Machine.
rom the New York Times.


Thomas A. Edison believes there is no
worker as mechanical as the telegraph op-
orator. In an argument over this point
with couple of friends the other day he
told the following story:
"One night when was cub operator
in Cincinnati, I noticed an immense crowd
gathering in the street outside a newspa-
per office. I called the attention Of the
other operators to the crowd, and we sent
a messenger boy out to find the cause of
the excitement. He returned in a few
minutes and shouted out:
"Iincoln's shot!'
'1nstinctively the operators looked from
one face to the other to see which man
had received the news. All the faces were
blank, and every man said he had not ia
ken a word about the shooting.
Look over your file,' said the boss to
the man handling press stuff.
For a few moments we, waited in sus-
pense, and then the man held up sheet
of paper containing short account of the
attack on the President. The operator had
worked so mechanically that he had
handled the news without the slightest
knowledge of its significance

Picture Post Cards.
From the London Chronicle

From the London Chronicle.
1t appears that the vogue Of picture post
cards has largely interfered with the sale
of photographs One photograph is not
being sold now, unless In very exceptional
cases, where half dozen were sold be-
fore. You see." West End photographer
said yesterday, "the cards are very cheap.
and If they area not always art. they are
pictures of a sort, and serve their purpose"
Another thing which has. perhaps. inter-
fered with the sale Of photographs Is the
scarcity of real celebrities-so the photog-
raphers say anyhow. Once we had Glad
stone Tennyson. a Browning, and, most
popular by far in a photographer sense,
Queen Victoria. Her place has here been
taken by Queen Alexandra, whose photo
graph divides popularity with that of the
king. Our statesmen and other celebrities
come a long way after; few OF them have
the satisfaction of being dotted on by the
picture post card buyer.

Tintoretto's "Paradisio."
From the London Chronicle.

=
Tintorettos famous Paradise" which
visitors to Venice will easily remember as
hanging over the throne of the chamber of
the grand council in the palace of the doges,
measures TWENTY-FIVE feet in height and
sixty-eight feet in length. The picture Is
to undergo renovation. and was taken down
yesterday by the aid of special mechanical
appliances In the presence Of the national
commission for paintings. The glory of
Paradise" painted in 1880, in Tintoretto's
twenty-second year. were the saints and
angels in marvellous blending of light and
color which. blackened by time, are no
longer perceptible. The wall on which the
Tintoretto has hitherto hung is now under
going repairs.

Paduan artist Guariento. remains of which
still adorn this same WALL will afterward

sUNF1sH WEIGHED A TON.
Captured OFF the California Coast With
a Boat Hook.

From the Los Angeles Times.
A huge, throbbing lump of fish flesh,
estimated to weigh nearly ton, and re-
sembling an elephant in all but shape, was
fought to its death in the channel at Ava
lon this morning and hauled up on the
beach to amaze the summer thousands.
It was a giant sunf1sh.
The capture of the creature constitutes
one of the most remarkable and interest
ing events in island history-a history
which is crowded with extraordinary pis-
catorial events. The catch astounded
pioneer fisherman and summer new
conner alike. for no fish anything like the
one caught today was ever seen In these
waters before. There have been vague ira
ditions of sunish weighing half a ton hay.

The so-called novelty materials that
make their appearance every autumn
are used for these costumes. They are in
a variety of shades and for the moment
there is a prejudice in favor of those
materials that resemble most closely the
cheviots used in mems business suits,
with rather indefinite patterns and m
conspicuous coloring. in grays and
browns. some with tiny lines or bars of
red that relieve the otherwise dullness.

and their fashions are far more
sensible than they were when their
mothers were little girls The one
piece frock for the girl can be just as
smart and smarter than the one made
with skirt and blouse waist or false
front and Jacket. while for small boys
the Russian blouse and the sailor suits
take them along until the time comes
for the little cheviot knee breeches and
short sack coats that are sold for so
little at all the shops. In nothing does
the progress OF the world show TO more
advantage from a mothers point of
view than in the possibilities that now
exist of securing attractive ready-made
clothes All kinds OF clothes can be
bought at comparatively low prices and
OF excellent cut and style, although the
material will not be so fine as when
the clothes are made up.
Girls school frocks should not be
made OF too expensive materials or
fashioned too deliberately. The most
prACllcdl Oh ali bCuOOi are luOSe
made in the coat and skirt costume, to
be worn with shirt waists. After a girl
is nine or ten years old she looks per-
fectly we'll in these blouses. and the
possibility OF making so many changes
with them is a point worth considera-
ton. Serge OF either fine or coarse
weave, cheviot, flannel, and lightweight
cloths are all good for this purpose, but
the serge will give the best wear, and
the old favorite blue is the best color
20 choose.
There are browns and greens, some
excellent reds, and. OF course, many
mixed patterns, especially in cheviot,
that are smart, but the blue has an in
dividuality that makes II always a IA
vorite. The skirts, gored or circular in
shape. may be trimmed with braid or
rows OF stitching or may be perfectly
plain. The latter is, perhaps. the most
practical. for when the necessity comes
OF letting down the skirt the row of
braid or stitched band can be put on TO
cover the line left by the lengthening

In the matter OF headwear the little
boy will wear a round felt hat, with a
round crown. These in white scratch felt
are good background for a child's
cherubic countenance. Little girls will
wear white French bonnets up to the
age Of six. These are quite elaborate

that fits very closely to the knees and
