A Mind Reader.

One night at a court ball in the
Tuiieries Napoleon III. was 80 atten-
tive to beautiful young woman as
to excite comment among the other
women. At last, in response to n direct
tribute to her beauty, she said:
"Ah, but your majesty compliments
me too much"
"How remarkable" he replied with
twinkle in his eye, that you should
say just what every other woman here
is thinking!'

THE STAGE KISS
What II Really Means Rather Than
What Il Seems to BE.

What Il Seems to Be.
Stage kissesl No one but an actor
or an actress can fully appreciate what
they mean. The picture as presented
to the audience is very pretty, but the
vision which looms up before the eyes
Of the poor player is something like
this:
A face covered with coating Of cold
cream, which has been powdered over
with a thick layer Of pearl white or
brunette powder, as the case may be.
On the cheeks are daubs Of rouge,
which at that close range In no pos
sible manner suggest, as they do to the
audience, the rosy cheeks Of a country
lassle. Over the eyes is rubbed a
little dark blue powder to make them
poetical. The underlids are heavily
pencned. and a mark extends quar-
ter Of an inch from the eye at the
end This makes them larger, Upon
each separate lash is a bead OF black
cosmetic. which has the effect Of max
ing them heavy and long. The cherry
lips, which to the audience the hero Is
eager to press to his own, are to his
distorted vision at such close range
only a cash of carmine painted into a
Cupid's bow.
The actress sees before her picture
even less attractive, for ten chances 10
one the hero, In addition to his grease
paint, wears O false mustache and Is
also smelly with tobacco The glare
OF the footlights tones down this con-
giomeration Of paint, and at distance
the faces are actually pretty, but upon
close inspection they resemble nothing
more than a very bad oil painting out
Of focus.
Taken from this viewpoint, some OF
the very impassioned kisses featured
In plays require no little self sacrifice
on the part OF the players.-Harrtet

 Measure.


 Measure.
 Florence. Nov. 20.-(Special0-At the regular meeting of the City Council last night, the President of the Council was instructed to telegraph the Lauder dale County Representatives in the Legislature, urging them to use their utmost endeavors in behalf of the pro- posed municipal bill allowing towns and cities to raise their tax rates.
 The question was fought over and defeated two years ago when the new Constitution was adopted. but the need for such an amendment to the Consti- tuition has become so imperative to E1orence and a number of other Ala bama cities, that the hope is now en- tertained that the Legislature will con- sent to submit the proposition to a vote of the people.
