There is much beauty In long, silky.
curved eyelashes. Men are proud OF
"beetling brows" fringed with fierce
bristles. They fondly believe that
such features indicate force OF char.
acter backed up by immense brain
energy In Circassia, Persia and parts
OF India one of mothers earliest
cares is to promote the growth OF her
chlldren's eyelashes by tipping and re.
moving the fine. gossamer.like points
with pair of scissors when the
youngsters are asleep. BY repeating
this every month or six weeks the
lashes become long, close, finely
curved and glossy. This practice 10
said to be very useful In treating In.
fiammatlon of the eyes, or granulated
lids. Shaving will make the eyebrows

He found himself no further than the

subject. and. reversing the horologe,
Lets have another glass" said he.
Sir Roger L'Estrange tells OF parish
clerk who sat patiently until the
preacher was three.quarters through
his second glass, and the majority Of
his hearers had quietly left the church.
Rising at a convenient pause, he
asked the minister to close the church
door when he had done, "and push
the key under It, as he and the few
that remained we're about to retire"

A BITTER ATTACK
On House Rules and Speakers Power
By Nelson Of Wisconsin.

Washington. Feb. a bitter at
tack on the rules and power of tho
Speaker was made in the House Of
Representatives today by Nelson. Wis,
Rep, who said the power Of the House
was merged in the Speaker.
He is the House. he exclaimed.
amid Democratic applause. He charged
that the business OF the House was
not being dispatched speedily, eco
nomcally or considerably. He did not,
he said, believe in personality or part
ncrship. II am speaking he declared,
of principles and not of men mat are
passing" 1t was intended, he sad,
that the Speaker should be only mere
moderator in according the rcpresen-
tatiycs of the people their Just rights
and in securing a square deal. But now
the Speaker ovcrrides ruthlessly the
rights of his opponents and his own
associates as we'll The minority, re
declared, were not only SpeechleSs. but
absolutely helpless and as for the ma
jority members They have to obey the
will Of the Speaker"
At times, he added, they would
break away. but not for long, because
they were brought back under the
power of the Speakers hypnotic spell.
He said that many of the President
policies We're important but they We're
no more important than parliamentary
reforms in the House.
