A famous New York alienist visited
an insane asylum, where one Of the in.
mates said to him: Il have invented q
patent fly catcher. Greatest thing in the
world. Here, I'll show you how II
works" The man took a sheet Of
paper and drew a birdcage. THAT.
he said, "is q parrots cage-just q
common cage-but you observe that on
this side there Is door with a heavy
iron knob and that there is another
door on the other side, also with a
heavy iron knob. Now, you see, you
take this parrots cage and put it on a
pedestal fourteen feet high, the pedes-
tai standing on a marble slab. Then I
place a ladder on this side, reaching
up to one door, and a ladder on the
other side, leading to the other door.
This is how it works: The unsuspect-
ing fly comes along and climbs up the
ladder on this side. 1t opens the door
by means Of the iron knob, walks
through the cage and opens the door
on the other side. Then it starts down
the other ladder. That's where we
catch him" the inventor continued ex-
citedly. That's where the invention
IL. That's where shall get my money.
You see, the fourth rung is missing in
this second ladder, but the fly doesn't
know it. and he falls on the marble
slab and breaks his neck"
The Age Of Deer.
Romance has played prominent
part with regard to the longevity OF
deer, says a writer in Chambers Jour.
nal. What says the highland adaee:
Thrice the age Of dog is that Of n horse.
Thrice the age Of q horse is that Of man.
Thrice the age cf a man Is that Of u deer.
Thrice the age OF a deer is that % an
eagle.
Thrice the age OF an eagle ia that a. m
oak tree.
This is to assign the deer peyod Of
more than 200 years. and the estimate
Is supported by many highly circum-
stantial stories. Thus Captain Mac
donald Of Tulloch, who died in 1776.
aged eighty-six years, Is said to have
known the white hind Of Loeb Treie
for fifty years, his father for a like
period before him and his grandfather
for sixty years before him. So in 1896
Macdonald Of Glengarry is reported TO
have killed stag which bore a mark
on the left ear identical with that
made on all the calves he could catch
by overwhelmingly, who had been
dead 100 years. Analogous stories. It
may be noted. are told in countries on
the continent of Eurona ubora a,>,.
are to be found in any number. Eut
alas. the general opinion among ex-
perts would seem to be that thirty
years or thereabouts Is the limit Of a
deers life.

A Town Built on an Immense BanH
of Oyster Shells.
The secondary foundation Of Girls
field, Md, is the bottom Of the Chesa
peake bay, and between the bottom OF
Crisfield and the bottom of the bay are
oyster shells to the number of millions
probably hundreds Of millions. On this
great stratum of oyster shells stand
houses, wharfs and business places. A
railroad runs along on it, bridges cross
Its dividing places, men walk and tall

their landings alongside it; merry boat.
Ing parties put off from the shore by
moonlight and fish and crab and re.
turn in the early morn-all to this
great bank Of oyster shells sunk in the
blue water.
Crisfield lives by oysters and crabs
not by eating them, for Crisfielders
rarely eat either, but by catching them,
boiling them, packing them. shipping
them, selling them. He who would
know the crab can best learn it by Wis.

There are many people In this coun-
try. A crab apiece for them all once

A Trick Of Actors.
Most people know that the memory
may be easily confused by learning .
passage in two or three different ways
or by having once heard an incorrect
form Of giving it. Working on this
principle, actors are fond OF putting
stumbling blocks in one another's way.
A stock joke dear to the hearts of all
players is the regular thing to be in
flicted upon beginner In the first act
of Richard I'LL" 1t is in the scene
where the coffin Of Henry VI. is borne
across the stage. One OF the men who
carry it has been raised from the posi-
ton of supernumerary to his first
speaking part, which consists of a sim
gle line. Before the performance it is
usual for some older actor to take him
aside and impress him with the enor-
nous difficulties Of delivering that sen.
tence correctly. The victim listens
nervously.
"Now. most actors" says his tor
mentor gravely, make this mistake
the first time they play the part: In
stead of saying. as it is. My lord.
stand back and let the cofin pass they
give 1t this way. My lo,u, stand back
and let the parson cough"
And after he has heard the latter YER
sion. absurd though it is. the chances
are that the poor supernumerary will
give that to tie audience on the first

What woman is there who does not
admire a beautiful complexion and de-
sires st for herself if it is possible to
be obtained? There is no doubt that
many women rather injure than I'M
prove their compilations by the lotions
used and the severe treatment given
to the skin. 1t is mistake to try all
the lotions one sees advertised and to
torture the face with all manner OF
ment that is the surest to result ben
eficially. Try a mixture OF eau de
cologne and almond oil. The right
way to go to work is to begin with
very much diluted eau de cologne, half
water and half perfume. Soak some
pieces of medicated wadding in the
liquid and thoroughly and very gently
at night. When the face is perfectly
clean fresh pieces of wadding should
be soaked in a half and half mixture
of almond Oil and eau de cologne and
the face should be very quietly mas
saged, rubbing always upward, and ex-
IRENE care being taken to avoid
stretching the skin, which is wonder
fully elastic. The Oil must be allowed
to dry on the face and next morning
the skin must be freely bathed in the
eau de cologne sold for baths and fric-
lions. lay special stress on the lat
ter sentence as there is an immense
difference between ordinary eau de
cologne-of the finest quality-and the
liquid sold for frictions. The former
would be much too strong and pungent
for delicate compilations.
Of course compilations differ as

Many of the new millinery models
are particularly dainty and attractive.
Taken as a whole the hats of this win
ter are sufficiently restrained and free
from exaggeration, and it is probable
that the same will continue to be true
of the millinery of the coming spring
and summer.
In our illustration we show the very
latest and most becoming version OF
the mushroom shape. The closely
gagged black silk has band Of velvet
draped round the moderately high
crown and drawn into a big chou at
the side, while some full blown roses
of shining gold tissue and gauze put in
an effective appearance on the other
side.

greatly as do characters, but for the
average woman the eau de cologne
and almond oil treatment will bring
good results.
But there are probably some Of our
readers who care more for dress than
they do for complexion and who are
impatiently waiting to hear the latest
from fashiondom. Well, first Of all it
is extremely likely that with the
spring styles the fiounce, especially in
narrow width, will occupy an impor-
tant position among spring trimmings
Almost all the newest tailor made
costumes show the cape bolero eff
feet on the shoulders, but in some
cases it is very subdued, just giving
a tinge of the 1880" effect. Indoor
blouses are now very often made with
perfectly fiat shoulder seams and with
the trimmings arranged to simulate a
fichu or short cape.
All of these old-time and truly pic
turesque touches on modern cos
tunes are delightful. They make for
variety, and lend themselves, when
properly chosen, to accentuate the in.
dividual quality of each wearer's spe,
cial beauty of form or face. What is
needed to improve the evening and
house gowns of to-day is the copying
of what is best in old-time costumes,
as we'll as originality of creation.
There is little that is truly new, save
the severe tailored gowns. The evolu-
ton of the modern corset has led to
the creation of the strictly modern
and truly smart coat and skirt combi~
nations.

fine plaits to yoke of guipure or en-

lacing of silk galloon and tiny gold
