A New Line of Graft.

"a new graft game was worked on
me the other day." said Broad street
broker VINO advertised for an office
boy. after the place was flied appli-
cants still came in, among them a
seedy looking lad who told me he had
come all the way from Yonkers in
hope of getting the job. He asked for
quarter to pay his way back. He
got it. In few minutes another boy
came in and asked for mis- return fare
to Englewood, N. ]. The next boy
was modest-a dime for cup Of
coffee and an elevated road ticket to
the Bronx would do for him.
when lad asked for dime to
get back to Jersey City l gave it to
him and sent one of the clerks out
to follow him. The boy went around
the corner into the New street en-
trance of an office building, where he
was greeted with whoop by dozen
or more lads, two of whom my clerk
recognized as applicants who had
calleo for the job and touched me
for expenses. The others were await
ing their turn to work me as a come
on. The boys recognized my clerk,
too, and bolted through the entrance
into Broadway."-New York Press.

A TIED GIRDLE.

1t is quite possible to have differ
ent girdle for every gown, and to
have them look natty and nice with
no trouble at all, by adopting the fol-
lowing plan:
Take two yards and half of rib
bon, more or less, according to the
waist measure. After skirt and waist
are properly adjusted place the center
of the ribbon at the center of the
waist front. Run the ribbon around
the waist, cross at the back and
bring the ends in front again. Cross
them in the middle and pin securely
with safety pin, through. bodice and
corset, and tie the remaining ends in
a smart little bow exactly over the
pin. If the sides of the girdle show
an inclination to slip down they can
be fastened up with pin, which IS
put in 'blindly," that is, just under
the edge of the ribbon; this edge is
turned over and covers the fastening.
The same applies to the point in
front.
When properly put on and fastened,
this gird1e bears ali the earmarks of
the latest thing in French belts, even
to the jaunty DOW in front, and no
one would guess that, it owned its
style to one large safety pin and a
piece of rfbbon.-Washingto Times.

OTHER NOTIONS OF DR.. osLER.

He Recommends Tax on Bachelors
and an Export Duty on Canadian Girls.
DR.. William Osler according to the
Canadian Practitioner, addressed the
Canadian club of Toronto ON Dec. 80.
The reception to DR.. Osler by the four
hundred members who were present
was most enthusiastic.
Prof. Osler,, who was introduced as
one who had become the first physi-
clan within the British empire, was
received with loud cheers. He ad-
dressed his hearers as fellow coun-
trymen, and said it always gave him
great satisfaction to return to his old
town, where he had received his early
education, and where he had so many
friends. Taking up the serious part
of his subject, DR.. Osler said as
Canadians they had three, relations to
consider-the country to the south,
the motherland, and their own Canada.
Fortunately or unfortunately, the ma
tion to the south was one of the most
powerful on earth. A Briton should
be proud of it, for no other nation,
ancient or modern, ever had such a
child.
A very serious and important IN.
f1uence was that of gravitation, the
attraction of the larger body upon the
smaller, which caused an incessant
dribbling over the border of their
young men. A million Canadians
were in the States, many in prominent
positions in finance and in the pro-
fessions, particularly in medicine and
theology. There they had been sue
cessful by reason of two special quail
ties, industry and thoroughness, the
only qualities worth anything in the
makeup of young man. If it were
only in the matter of draining away
the young men, it would make no diff
ference, as plenty were left to run the
country. But more serious loss was
that of the young women. He had a
patient once, a neurasthenic young
man of thirty or so whose heart was
not settled. DR.. Osler asked him why
he did not get married. Because all
tuO 6lllo L WohISo hNFS SSA<S ~ ~-~~
States," was the reply. OF 65l wo'
men engaged in nursing in six of the
great eastern hospitals, 1856 were
Canadians, an enormous proportion,
almost one-third.
Something should be done, said
DR.. Osler, ito stop the loss OF the
mothers of the country" He sug.
gested two ways. Introduce tax on
bachelors. At rs or 26 the man who
had not family to support ought to
be helping the other fellow, and sucn
a tax would be reasonable and ra,
tional political measure. The other
way was an export tai of $100 on
every girl who left Canada.
"She's worth more the doctor re.
marked, while the club hilariously
assented. She was worth $1,000 to
the country, and it would pay to give
her family that to keep her at home.

Mrs. Wells choked with indignation.

yards to make me nightgown, and
it takes ten for Sereny Dodd. Look!'
She once more jumped from the bed,
and held her night-dress out as a lit

first ones I ever had trimmed with

What's going on?" called Miss
Sally Sloane, hurrylng from her quar-
ters across the hall.
"She's lost her nightgown," replied
Miss Timpkins.
''Was it the new one your niece

an.

and waddled away.
''Sheis the only one in the house
who's got one big enough" said Miss
Timpkins. Nov you must get right
into bed, or I'll have you sick on my
hands. You undo your waist, and
I'll take off your shoes and stock
ings."
The feeble old fingers fumbled
awkwardly at the hooks. Il never

she rebelled, weakly.

Mrs. Dodd frightened up. "It's all
in the contract: Boarded and lodged
and suitably clothed" she quoted.
The matron threw back Mrs. Dodd's
waist, and pulled it off her fat arms;
then she stared moment, unfasten-
ed the old woman's skirts and drop
ped them to the floor. Get right into
bed!" she ordered.
Mrs. Dodd plucked confusedly at
her throat and wrists, and crept be-
tween the sheets without uttering a
word. Miss Timpkins gathered up
the old lady's apparel and laid it
across a chair, and raising her voice,
said, Never mind the gown, Miss
Sloane. Mrs. Dodd won't need it to-
night" Then she turned out the
light and left the room.
AS the door closed, Mrs. Wells rose
up in bed noiselessly, and in tones

MAKING OVER A WAIST.

A pretty way to lreshen up worn
white China India silk waists is to
put in a guimpe and full half-sleeves
of colored lace. This lace, by the
way. can be easily colored at home
with any one of the prepared dyes.
One girl recently made an old China
silk waist by these means. She took
some quite dilapidated Renaissance
lace which had been on another gown.
Out of that she got enough for a
guimpe and full naif-sleeves with the
under-sleeves effect. Tnen she dyed
the medallions in the lace a delicate
blue. A big bow of the same shade OF
blue in velvet decoratsu the lett SIDE
and completed an original and much
admired waist-Harper's Bazaar.

NOTED WOMAN ARTIST.

Cecilia Beaux has been SO closely
identified with the life of Philadel-
phia that she holds nearer relation
than the others to the actual growth
of taste. she has be a serene and
intimate influence, without assertion,
but with quiet firmness IN the choice
of things of beauty as opposed to
things of fashion. Her example has
made for elevated opinion and helped
to form standards high and clear In
those narrow paths between the
ephemeral and the enduring which
confuse the unelectd. Doubtless she
is as little aware of all this as are
the passive objects upon which our
character has reacted; but to those
who have felt consciously the spell OF
her clear-headed personality, and
know the true ring of her sense OF
beauty, it is no idle fancy. Her paint
ing had won the approval and patron
age of her fellow townsmen long be-
fore her reputation had gone beyond
the borders, and now that she stands
forth as one of the three or four lead
ers of American art, the old affection
has blossomed into frank admiration.
All the world joins us in this-the
cultivated world whose sentiments
make opinions-and in testimony |
am tempted to quote a very few lines
from a remarkable private letter writ
ten by a noted French critic when
Miss Cecilia Beaux's pictures first ap-
peared in the salon. There is one
name" ne writes, which you may
conjure with, and around it the lau-
rels .entwine themselves-Mme. Ce-
ella Beaux. She shows us side OF
America free from hurry, retired and
Tranquil and we rest content and
meditative in the atmosphere created
by her admirable talent. This, to be
sure, is but one phase Of your coun-
try. Would that all corners OF Amer
lea equally mad their Cecilia Beauxs."

HOW GRIFFoNs ARE MADE.

Yet true it Is. ALI sorts of scan
dals have developed in Paris and
London through the discovery, and
now the echoes are disturbing the
serenity Of metropolitan fashion on
this side of the water. 1t appears the
griffons are made to order in Brussels
itself, the terriers in their own home
Halifax, a center of Yorkshire In
dustry. How do they make the imi-
tation griffons? Oh, well they're not
entirely false; they're griffons, fast
enough-yet not fast enough in the
laundry sense, for-whisper-they
won't wash! The same treatment is
given to both breeds. The poor little
griffon or Yorkshire is taken as pup
and dosed with arsenic on graduat-
ed scale until its hair acquires the
leaden hue SO highly admired by so
ciety women. 1t is kept in vaseline
bath pretty much all the time, and
when its hair begins to grow is sus-
pended on DNs to keep the silky
locks off the ground. The dog passes
directly from manufacturer to dealer,
and from dealer to buyer. His new
owner changes mis- diet, omits the ar
senic, of course; washes him with
water instead of vaseline, and the
next known of that doggie he is under
little white slab-if his mistress be
as, sentimental as the average belle.
OF course, there are genuine griffons
and Yorkshires. But how to tell them
that's what worries the club mem

SCALE MASSAGE,
4 simple Remedy For Weary Brains
and Tired Heads.

a simple Remedy For Weary Brains
and Tired Heads.
Society women and working women
often flnd their brains so weary and
their heads so tired that to keep up
hour after hour is really torture.
Set the fingers hard against the scalp
after one of these days Of suffering,
and you win find that the scalp is
tight, as if glued to the skull. This
tightness Of the scalp is due to ten
sion or nervous excitement and can
be relieved by simple scalp massage.
To gain relief take the pins and
combs from the hair and brush out the
tangles. Toss up the hair to tighten
1t. With hair hanging, place one hand
on top Of the head and the other just
above the base of the brain; with both
hands. and without letting the finger
tips slip over the scalp, push toward
the crown Of the head, as If attempt
ing to make fold In the scalp. Con-
tinue for some time, changing the po-
sition of the fingers. Then place one
hand above each ear and push toward
the crown of the head: Continue work
ing along the edge of the hair to the
forehead and to the base Of the brain.
Place the stiffened fingers Of both
hands almost together at the base Of
the brain and shake that portion Of the
scalp quickly and vigorously with the
fingers, making the scalp move with
the fingers, Take the fingers up, set
them down in another spot and con-
tinue from the base of the brain to the
forehead and back again; then repeat
the motion by working from the base
of the brain close to the ears and up
to the center of the forehead.
To set the scalp into a glow throw
the hair into a part, lift the arms and
bring the edges Of the hands down on
to the head with sharp quick move
ment The fingers should be relaxed
and apart, that separate rap may be
felt for each finger as the fingers come
together upon the scalp. Repeat this
all over the head.
Place the fingers on the crown Of the
head and make circles with them,
causing the scalp to circle with the
fingers. Go to the ears, to the base of
the brain, to the forehead and back to
the crown Of the head. - Pittsburg
