FALSE MIRRORS.

Many Varieties Are Made For Special
Business Purposes.
'It is not enough to make true mir
rors," the dealer said. IF that were
all, ours would be indeed a simple bust
ness.
"Dressmakers and milliners require
mirrors Of all sorts They need, for ex-
ample, mirror that makes one look
taller and thinner When they dress
a fat, short patron in one Of their new
hats or suits they lead her to this mir
ror, and she is so surprised and pleased
with the change for the better in her
looks that straight off she buys.
"For masseurs I make mirror that,
like retouched photograph, hides
blemishes, wrinkles, scars. The mas
seur takes the wrlnkled face Of some
rich old woman, steams it, thumps it,
pinches it and smacks it for an hour
and then holds up to 1T the mirror that
gives a blurred, blemish hiding refec-
ton. The woman thinks her wrinkles
are gone and is happy till she gets
home to her own true mirror.
Altogether I make some twenty va
rieties Of false mirrors Statesmen and
saleswomen in millinery and dressmak-
ing establishments can double and
quadruple their business If they are
quick and deft in their selection Of the
mirror that fatters each patron best"

The Nickname.

The public man in America who has
never been tagged with nickname
may be just as efficient and worthy Of
praise as his brethren who are known
as "BilP' and "Joe," but he has not
achieved an equal measure Of popular
ity.. Nicknames are oftener inspired by
affection than by aversion. "The men
Of the people, so called, are invari-
ably nicknamed. Venerable citizens
still refer to "Abe" Lincoln, dwelling
with reminiscent affection upon the abb

bad are as old as history. In this coun-
try the people have way Of abbrevi.

FRAUDS IN OLD BOOKS.
Ancient and Rare Volumes Doctore6,
Restored and Initiated.

A we'll known collector acquired
what he took to be q book published
by Aldus in the year 1850. He paid
$1,000 for it and believed that it was
an original Aldus, because the publish
er's press mark. a dolphin coiled round
an anchor, appeared upon it. When
the book was shown to an expert 1t
proved TO be beyond q shadow Of
doubt modern antique-that is to
say, it was simply a copy Of the orig
inal work printed by an ingenious book
fakir. So clever was the imitation
that only an expert could tell it from
the original and rare book. Scores OF
persons during recent years have
bought facsimilcs Of rare works under
the impression that they were getting
the originals. Dickens Sunday IN
der Three Heads has been 1akeo
many times and sold as orlglna' ~
collectors who no doubt treasure tnem
as rarities. Genuine copies OF 'nis
little book are worth q Sood sum- anu

vantage Of the circumstances nave

For the genuine first edition.
Many men make a living by doc
torinc" old and rare books for IN
scrupulous dealers. These men are
adopts in the art of book restoring and
are quite able to make good any part
of an imperfect copy. For instance,
If rare book has leaf missing it is
handed over to q restorer. who re-
prints the page with battered type,
the paper upon which it is printed be-
ing afterward discolored with chem
icals or tobacco water in order to give
1t the true antique hue.
The first folio Shakespeare is, OF
course, of great value, and it is safe
to say that every possible deception
has been practiced in fitting up copies
OF this work for sale. At one time the
manufacture of first folio Shakespeares
was quite q trade. \ first folio having
several leaves missing had leaves in
serted from the second folio, While in
one case the entire play Of "Cynbe-
line was reprinted and inserted in
first folio. The "faked" pages were
so cleverly done that several experts
were at first unable to detect them
when turning over the pages Of the
vorl- in n,,action ROOk reStOrerS as
rule, are most ingenious artists, and
they can produce an imitation Of
page of rare book which will deceive
hundreds Of collectors One particu-
lar restorer has "doctored' more than
4 thousand old books during the last
two years, producing pages in facsim-
lie and supplying colophons or deco
rated capitals. There is not a thing
wanting to make q book complete that
this man cannot skillfully "fake."-

RicI,eIieu as IN Editor.

The first reporter Of France was
Louis XIII. The National library pos
sesses the manuscripts Of thirty-si1 ar
ticles written by that king. Almost all
are accounts of his military operations.
These articles were published in the
Gazette de France. The copy" how
ever, did not so directly to the printer.
Louis XIII. wrote abominable French,
and he had vague notions Of orthogra-
ply. His articles were corrected and
often entirely rearranged by a secre-
tary named Lucas, who copied them,
sending to Richelieu the new manu-
script. Richelieu examined it in his
turn and often introduced additional
corrections. At the siege Of Corbie the
king wrote few lines eulogistic Of the
cardinal, but afterward crossed them
out Of his article. RicEelieu wrote
them in again, and so they appeared IN
the Gazette de France.-ReVue de Par

Oxygen and Mushrooms.

4 singular way Of removing oxygen
from the air BY the aid Of a plant Is
as follows: Inside glass bell jar, sus-
pended over water, is placed q mush-
room, and sunlight is allowed to fall
upon the plant. The mushroom alb
serbs the oxygen from the air IN the
jar, and the carbonic acid formed dur
ing the process is absorbed by the wa
ter. which gradually rises In the jar
to one-ffth Of its height. The mush-
room nov dries up, but its animation
IS only suspended, as may be proved
by introducing beside it a green plant,
when it will recommence to vegetate,
being nourished by the oxygen ezhaled
from the fresh plant.

The "Man" Who Minds the Cows.
In the Basque country the children
begin to work at an early age. They
learn to tend and guide the oxen,
which are used entirely for agricultur-
al and draft work, and as if by Instinct
obtain complete control over the AMI

is up at daybreak, and barelesged and
bareheaded he goes with the COWS to

his long stick and Basque adjurations
and brings it scampering back, general

The Poet and the Beauty.

One Of the finest houses in southern
England is Penhurst Place, the birth
place OF Sir Philip Sidney. Under the
trees Of its park Edmund Waller paid
his addresses to the naughty Lady
Dorothea, whom he celebrated as Sach.
arissa. But the heart Of Lady Dorothea
Sidney-who was the most beautiful
woman Of her time-waS untouched by
Waller's amatory verses, and she re-
iected the poet in favor Of the Earl Of
Sunderland Many years afterward the
countess met Waller and, reminding
him sentimentally of the old days at
Penhurst, asked him when he would
again write verses about her. when,
madam said the poet rudely, "you are
as young and as handsome as you We're
then"

Properties Of Chlorine.

Chlorine is a greenish yellow gas
with a greeable smell. It is solu-
Bile in cold water, only slightly soluble
in hot water It destroys color in wet
fabrics and is also strong disinfect-
ant. Both Of these properties are said
to be due to its power Of decomposing
hydrogen compounds, such as water,
combining with the hydrogen and liber-
ating oxygen, which in nascent state
oxidizes coloring matter, rendering 1t
colorless. AS a disilfectant it oxidizes
the germs Of disease and is in conse-
ouence largely used for this purpose.

STOPPED THE OVATION,
Richard WaGner's Peculiar Experi-
ence In Vienna.

Richard WaEner's Peculiar Expert.
ence In Vienna.
When Wagner was at the height of
his popularity he visited Vienna. Bar
on Won Beust, then chancellor Of the
empire, was Informed that the Prus-
sian party intended to give him On I'M
nense serenade-a serenade which
would have the air of German protest
against the tendency Of the ministry to
make the unson Of Hungary and Aus
tria more intimate. The demonstration
promised to arouse strong feeling.
your e1cellency is warned" said
the chancellor's advisers. 1T Is impos-
slble to stop this manifestation unless
Wagner goes away, and he loves ova-
tions too we'll. Nothing will induce him
to depart"
"You think so, said Beust, with a
smile.
An hour later Wagner was invited to
dine with the chancellor. He was fat
tered by the invitation and accepted 1t.
After. dinner, at which Beust was de-
lightfully affable and entertaining, the
chancellor remarked: Herr Wagner,
are ycu interested In autographs? /
have some very curious ones to show
sou." And he opened portfolio where
were letters Of Palmerston, Bismarck,
Napoleon ILL.,, Heine and others.
Suddenly turning to a paper, dated
1S4S, he said: "Ah, look at this. 1t Is
very curious. What would your friend
his highness, the king Of Bavaria say If
this paper, which would be significant
in connection with the political sere-
made which the Germans are going to
gire,you, should be published tomor-
row in the Vienna papers"
The composer examined the paper
and recognized, with surprise, an old
proclamation Of one Richard Wagner,
who, an ardent revolutionist in 1s49,
had proposed to the youth Of that time
to set fire to the palace Of the king Of
Saxony. He saw his autograph and
that it might be the means Of getting
him into serious trouble.
every curious, is it not, Herr Wag-
ner? said the minister
Every curious, your e1cellency," re-
piled his guest.
The next morning Richard Wagner
left Vienna, recalled to Balreuth by
urgent business.-Strand Magazine.

CURIOUS INSECT.
a Butterfly That Enjoys Only Five
Hours Of Life

Hours Of Life.
1t is in August that the naturalists
observe the marvellous insect which is
born, reproduces and dies in the period
of a single night on the banks Of the
Marne. of the Seine and of the Rhine.
IT is the ephemere Of which Sirammer-
dam has written and which is spoken
O. in Aristotle
The life Of this insect does not last
beyond four or five hours. It dies to-
ward II O'Clock in the evening after
taking the form of butterfly about six
hours after midday It is true, how
ever, that before taking this form it
has lived three years n that Of
worm, which keeps always near the
border Of water in the holes which it
makes in the mud.
The change Of this worm in the wa
ter to an epbemere which flies is so
sudden that one has not the time to see
it. If one takes the worm in the water
the hand cannot be taken away before
the change is made unless by pressing
the worm slightly in the region Of the
chest. By this means it can be taken
from the water before the change
takes place.
The ephemere, after leaving the wa
ter, seeks a place where it can diyest
itself of fine membrane or veil, which
entirely covers it. This second change
takes place in the air.
The ephemere assists itself with the
point Of its little nails as firmly as it
can. It makes q movement similar to
that Of a shiver; then the skin on the
middle of the back breaks apart, the
wings slip out Of their sheath, as we
sometimes take of our gloves by turn
ing them inside out After this strip
ping the ephemere begins to fly. Some
times it holds itself straight up on the
surface Of the water on the end Of its
tail, tapping its wings one against the
other. It takes no nourishment in the
five or six hours which are the limit Of
it's life. It seems to have been formed
but to multiply, for it does not leave
its state Of a worn until it IS ready to
deposit it's eggs, and it dies as soon as
they are deposited.
In three days time one sees appear
and die all species Of ephemere. They
last sometimes until the fifth day, for
the reason that some malady has af-
fected some OF them and prevents them
from changing at the same time as the
others
