From Health.
In Paris and London, where the idea
originated there are specialists who make
a handsome living out of the process Of
transplanting hair from the head to the
and rich can patronize the new method at
present. for. besides being painful and
costly, it takes long time to accomplish
it.
The specialist works by putting in. not
on, the new eyelashes and eyebrows when
ever they are absent or grow thin. and so
cunning is he in his work that not even
the closest scrutiny can detect any diff
ference BY means of the new process. 1t
Is said eyes which are at ordinary times
only passable become languishing In their
expression. while eyes which were pre-
viously considered fine have their beauty
much enhanced.
This Ia the way new eyelashes are put
in: An ordinary fine needle is threaded
with a long hair, generally taken from
upon. The lower border Of the eyelid is
then thoroughly cleaned. and in order
that the process may be as painless as
possible rubbed with a solution of CO.
caine. The operator then, by few skill
full touches, runs his needle through the
extreme edges of the eyelid between, the
epidermis and the lower border OF the
cartilage Of the tragus. The needle passes
in and over along the edge of the lid.

been done another and another length of
there are a dozen or more loops projecting.
BY this time the effect of the cocaine
has been lost and the operator is obliged
to desist and put off the further sew

GOOD SKATERS.
Austria Produces Many-Skating in
Norway and Sweden.

Austria Produces Many7SkatlnS IN
Norway and Sweden.
From the Westminster Gazette.
It is probably safe to say that Austria
has produced more fine skaters than any
other country. One may instance G.
Hugel who won the worlds championship
on three occasions; G. Fuchs. who OBJ
tanned that honor in 1895; Edward Engel-
mann. twice European champion. and
Max Bohatsch, who has likewise been
champion of Europe.
Apart from these, Austria has provided
many skaters quite in the first class. AS
BELTS a nation Of dancers. its skaters dis
play remarkable delicacy. lightness Of
touch and harmony, and in skating to
music their rhythm is matchless.
Hungary also has produced several no.
table skaters, the best being T. Won Fold
vary of Budapest. Switzerland has few
figure skaters and none of distinction. To
Sweden belongs the distinction Of having
provided Ulrich Salchow, who holds the
remarkable record OF having won the
worlds championship five successive
years The Norwegians skate, as do the
Swedes strenuously and with much vigor;
they favor speed rather than the figure
department of the sport.
The Dutch, Of course, are a nation OF
skaters. But. good as the Dutch are.
E. w. Syers. the English authority. has
declared. they have now no chance with
the Swedes and Norwegians, and We. in
turn, are just as far behind the Dutch. -
According to Mr.. SyerS. no English skater
would have the remotest chance of being
placed in any hrst-class contest abroad.

Are the Arts Onep

The common identity of the arts w~0
not only a master theory of Richard
Wagner. but he attempted to put 1t into
practice. Walter Pater in his essay on
Giorgione has dwelt upon the same theme
while declaring music the archetype of
the arts. In his Essays Speculative"

writer Camille Mauclair i'm his Ideas Vi

reach a satisfactory solution. Mauclairs
theory is that the fusion can only be

next step i'm the process is cutting of and
trimming the ends of the loops. and the
result is fine. thick. long set Of eye
lashes. 1t is the finishing touch that is
to come that makes them look like ma

stick out in the most singular fashion,

is to take curling tongs made of silver

SEINE OUT BAD FISH.
Indiana Commissioners Z" to Protect,
Food Fish Of State.

From the Indianapolis News.
Deputies of the fish and game commits
sioner's office this morning went to the
banks of White river near Michigan street
to make an inspection preparatory to the
wholesale SEEMING of the river between
Indianapolis and Martinsville. If the
report made this afternoon of the inspec-
ton of the river is favorable the work will
begin this afternoon or tomorrow. Much
ice is the greatest obstacle in the way Of
the SEEMING.
The object of the SEEMING is to dispose of
the undesirable fish. After each haul
everything that is caught will be sorted
out All garfish. dogfish and carp will
be disposed of. All other fish and also
frogs will go back into the rivers. The tur-
ties will not go back The object is to i'm
prove the quality and increase the num-
Der of fish in the river. The work OF
seining will be directed by c. NJ. War
rem, a deputy, and 1t may require several
DAYS. A 4OO-foot seine twelve feet deep
will be used
You see, the carp are death on all other
fish, explained Mr.. Warren. Carp are
not desirable for food, either. Carp are
as obnoxious as the English sparrow.
Dogfsh are the oneriest looking fish on
earth, and the garfish. of course. are no
good for food
This plan of improving the supply Of
fish in the river has never been under
taken in this manner before. The plan
was evolved by z. r. Sweeney, commits
sioner of fisheries and game.

GREAT DEMAND FOR
SECOND HAND CARS
New York Dealers Organizing a
General SaIesrOom to Dispose
of Autos Taken in Trade
New Scheme Will Make 1t Pos
sibIe for Those of Limited
Means to Own a Car

Word has been received that a plan
Is now under consideration by the lead
ing automobile dealers in New York to
organize a cooperative association
for the sale of second hand automo-
biles. This is project which interests
not only the retail trade but the gen.
eral public. as it is believed it will in
sure buyers obtaining cars at reason
able prices, and will give the dealers
in new cars an opportunity of dis
posing of the cars traded in and second
hand machines at a fair margin. Up
10 the present time such cars have been
handed over TO second hand dealers
who. consequently receive nearly all
the profits if a sale is made, or it was
necessary for a dealer to maintain a
department for the sale of these cars,
which was cumbersome and in a num-
Der of cases interrered with new bust
ness. The movement is not intended
to show any unfriendly feeling toward
the second hand dealer, but is merely
the outcome of feeling that il can
handle its own cars TO better advan-
tage on a cooperative basis. 1t has
been proposed to establish an eX-
change at some point. where cars may
be sent direct and listed at figure, to
cent for profit for selling, the latter to
constitute the profits of the exchange,
which shall be run by a stock company
This does away with any favoritism.

they are sold, and another small fee

however, have not been worked out to
