FALSE EYEBROWS.
The Process Of Stitching the Hairs
Into The Skin,

The Process Of Stitching the Hairs
Into The Skin.
At q certain factory a number Of
young women were working at small
tables. each table covered with little
instruments and odd things which
only those who knew the business
could possibly understand. At one
table two girls were threading needles
with fine silky hairs and sewing them
in little squares on thin transparent
gauze.
''Those girls said the overseer, ARE
making some Of those beautiful arch
ed eyebrows you may sometimes see
on the stage. They are frequently
worn by both actors and actresses.
These sewed on the net are the less
expensive kind and are only used on
special occasions. The real brow is
very expensive and can only be made
by a person of great skill.
''rhe patient sits here in his chair,
which very much resembles den
lists operating throne. In this cush-
ion to my left are stuck a score or
80 of those needles you saw being
threaded. Each stitch leaving only
two strands of hair. to facilitate the
operation a number Of needles must
be at hand. As each thread of hair is
drawn through the skin over the eye
it is cut, so that when the first stage
Of the operation is over it leaves the

ance. Now comes the artistic work.
The brow must be arched and cut
down with the utmost delicacy, and
q number of hours Ia required to do 1t.
"Small as the eyebrows are, they are
very important in the makeup Of the
face. You have no idea how odd one
looks when utterly denuded Of hair
over the eyes. The process have de
scribed is painful. but 1t makes good
eyebrows and adds 100 per cent to the
looks Of the person who was without
them. It is. too. much better than the
blackening and cosmetics so many peo-
pie use, especially people who have
mere pretense Of brows, comprising
only a few hairs."-London Nt-Bits.

TAKE A LESSON FROM VENUS
Moral That Writer Haze Drawn lie
Not Without Some Points Of
WorthInese.

Miss Venus is a lovely girl; not
n time has she muttered, against
her pale, illumined life not one word
has she uttered. Just think she's
been without her arms for many dusty
ages, and yet she never drops the
brine or rants IN hopeless RACES. She
has to stand a bunch Of CUFF from Art
Bugs down to draymen, and yet she
never once comes back and grills the
heather layman. When some low
brow OF brutal mein starts merrily to
panning and says her face is worse
than wood and that her hair needs
canning OF that he has a waitress
friend who jerks a coffee jigger could
give her many, many leagues and beat
her out on fgger, she never even
looks at him, that rank untutored sin
ner, but holds her tongue and pedes-
tai; o, Venus is a winner. She's on
the Job both day and night: she hears
men knock or fiatter and women not
of classic mold get madden than q
halter. She suffers long and quietly
with calm and placid manner, in cold
no mits to reach a quilt, in heat, nc
hands to fan her. She is a lesson in
herself-a fruit for daily picking. Just
spare the world your trouble tales and
scratch the useless kicking.-G. S., In
Chicago Tribune.

writes N. E. Becker of Wisconsin, In
the Orange Judd Farmer. The total
cost was only eight dollars, including
a heavy four-foot chain for use In
hitching to the pillow when it is deep
down in the ditch.
l first used it in 1894. had heard
that out in Minnesota men were
charging Is cents per rod to con-
struct drainage bitches with the
steam ditching machine. / was able
to build bitches more cheaply by the
means of this simple, homemade con-
~trivance. On one piece of work, BY
using this plow and two horses, four
men made a ditch 1850 feet long,
from 2h to 3A feet deep and n foot
wide, in one day from eight o'clock in
the morning to six o'clock in the after
noon. This was in clay soil, which at
the time happened to be dry and was
shoveled easily. If the ground had
been wet, of course, SO much could
not have been accomplished.
In building bitches for tile, / first
pillow it as deeply as possible, usually
going over it twice with an ordinary
pillow. ALI the dirt that is not thrown
out by the plow is then shoveled out.
Next l go up and down the ditch with
the pick-plow. Ours is made to cut
IL inches wide, and by having 1t so
strongly constructed that there Is not
much spring in it a uniform width
and straight sides can be maintained
In the ditch. After the ground is
loosened we shovel out the loose dirt
and then go over it again with the
pick-plow. We use an evener eight
feet long, SO that the horses work far
enough away from the ditch that there
is nd danger of their falling In. AS
additional depth Is secured the hitch
is heightened, and the piow Can be
used in digging bitches three to four
feet or more deep. Where we have
to cross an elevation in the field,
which requires greater depth, we go
over that spot two or three times with
the pillow, bringing the bottom of the
ditch down to the required level.
Broadly speaking, the depth to which
this can be used Is limited only by the
length of the chain to which the even
er is fastened.

The Shadow of Science.

1t is hard to believe that a shadow
is probably the origin Of all astrono,
mical, geometrical and geographical
science. The first man who fixed his
staff perpendicularly in the ground
and measured its shadow was the
earliest computer of time, and the
Arab Of today who plants his spear In
the sand marks where the shadow
falls is his direct descendant. 1t is
from the shadow Of a gnomon that
the early Egyptians told the length
of the year. 1t is from the shadow OF
a gnomon that the inhabitants of Up
per Egypt still measure the hours Of
work for a water wheel. In this case
the gnomon is a 1hurra stalk support
ed on forked uprights and points north
and south. East and west are pegs
in the ground, evenly marking the
space Of earth between sunrise and
sunset. In a land Of constant sun
shine a shadow was the primitive
chronometer. 1t was also the prim'
tive foot rule.

Hand Beats Machine.

Cigars are still made by hand, no
machine having yet been invented
that will roll them so nicely and even
" as do deft human fingers. The
cheapest cigars-the t~hree-for-1ve va

Algerian or Hungarian leaves. At the
other extreme are the cigars smoked
by the czar of Russia, which are OF
the choicest and best matured Havana
and which cost $3.50 each.

RAISING TWO CROPS IN YEAR
Kansas Farmer Describes How He
Secured Crop of Oats and Corn
on Same Plot Of Land.
(By THOMAS W. ALEXANDER, Kan,

sas.)
! had about an ccre and a half of
ground, which, after receiving a good
coat of manure, was plowed up / IN
the fall. The winter freezes were
good for 1t and made it easy to work
in the spring.
In March l narrowed the ground
thoroughly for preparation for SOW
ing oats. l sowed a bushel and a
half to the acre.
They came up well, grew fine from
the first and were waist high by the
first of July and well headed. l cut
the oats while they were still green
for oats hay. The hay cured on
the stubble in one day and the next
day | put it up In the NOW. l had
three tons and a half of hay worth
SIS a ton.
The horses relish 1t as well as they
do alfalfa hay. Besides the hay the
grain makes 1t a fine feed for
horses.
After taking up the oat hay / list
ed the ground and planted some 90
day seed corn that l bought at $3.50
per bushel. 1t was a good stand
of late corn. 1t grew fast. cult
waited it four times and kept 1t free
from weeds.
| think this is doing pretty well fol
n piece of ground in one year. The
oats would probably have yielded 7s
bushels If had threshed them.

Mistake Is Found by Aid of Telegraph
After Boxes Are Gone Forty
Eight Hours.

Years ago when the electric tele-
graph was a new idea and a mystery
to the masses, there came trouble one
Saturday night in the Bank of Eng
land. The business of the day had
closed, and the balance was not right.
There was a deficit of just n hun
bred pounds. 1t was not the money,
but the error, that must be found.
For the officials and clerks there
could be no sleep until the mystery
had been cleared up. All that night,
and all Sunday, a force of men were
busy. The money was surely gone
from the vaults, but no one could dis
cover whence.
On the following morning a clerk
suggested that the mistake might
have occurred in packing, for the
West Indies, some boxes of specie
that had been sent to Southampton
for shipment. His chief acted on the

suggestion. Here was an opportun-
ity to test the powers Of the tele-
graph-lightning against steam, and
steam with 48 hours the start. Very
soon the telegraph asked a man in
Southampton: HAS the ship Merca-
tor sailed?"
The answer came back: Gust

stop her in the queens name"
flashed back the telegraph. she is
stopped" was returned.
Have on deck certain boxes (marks
given), weigh them carefully, and let
me know the result" telegraphed the
chief.
This order was obeyed, and n box
was found to be somewhere about one
pound and ten ounces heavier than it's
mates-just the weight of the missing
sovereigns. "All right. Let the ship
goi" was the next order.
The West India house was debited
with the one hundred pounds, and the
Bank of England was at peace again.
