Operators are sent to them at any desired hour from the manlouring establishments, and there are now visit- ing manicures who devote themelvee en- tirely to home work. The visiting maul - core acquires the art in a maniouriug establishment. An aptpupil can learn the work in two or three menthe. She then sets about building up a route of customers, Women usually have their hands eared for once a week. They are not like'y all to want the work done at the same time, and the visiting manicure endeavors to lay out a routethat can be covered with- out loss of time and which will keep her constantly employed. More parents now have the hands of their children, both boys and girls, oared for by a mani- cure, beginning when the ohtld is six or seven years old. In the case of children, the work is often done to Dura them of the habit of biting the finger nails as much as it is to beautify them. It is sought to in- stil in the child a pride in the appearance of the nails. and thus to prompt it to preserve them in good order. The work thus begun is likely to be continued for 'purposes of beautifying. The number of _-people,-,mon-and-women, who -now- have their feet attended to by the chiropodist, as they do their hands by the manicure, has also increased greatly. The work on the handl) is done to beautify them; upon the feet, for comfort. It is now required by the law of June 8, 1895, that chirop- odists shall pass an examination by a board of examiners of the Pedio Society of the State of New York. Some persons have their feet cared for at home, but much the greater number go to a mani- curing establishment in which chiropo- 41ats also aro employed, or to a , chiropo- dist's establishment. TOBACCO KILLED HIM. Shocking Death of a Ten -Year Old Boy Who Had Used Tobacco From Infancy. George Burroughs, ten years old, died a few days ago at his home near the pity limits. It was reported that dropsy was the cause of his death. He had been treated for that oomplai t 1g the City Hospital and had only just been taken home when he became worse and died in a short time. It is now said that he was a victim of nicotine poison. He had early acquired the habit of chewing and smoking tobac- co. In fact, he had just about begun wearing knickerbockers when he began to use tobacco, and soon he could chew or smoke ifke a n�an. The Burroughs family lived on the outskirts of the city. The family is quite large, there being five or six boys and an equal number of girls. The father and all the boys use tobacco to excess, having begun when quite young. It has been no uncommon thing to hoar the children ask their father for a ohew,whloh was always cheerfully given. George exceeded the others in the use of tobacco, and when he could get it by no other means, he used to go around the streets picking up stumps of cigars and smoking and chewing them. l'he desire for tobacco remained until the last moment. While he lay on his Qoath-bed he begged for it, and during Its entire illness he was not satisfied without it. The undertaker who had charge of the -funeral said tho body was in a terrible condition. He arrived at the Burroughs home about two hours after the boy died, and said the belay was badly swollen and discolored. Be tried in every pos- sible way to preserve the body for burial two days later, .but on the day of the funeral 1t could not be looked at by the relatives. —N. Y. Herald. A Toy for Haby, -must be amused, and sometimes wben you are busy you will be glad. -to give the little one something with whloh he can amuse h self , for a while. . Why not make him a pretty wool ball? The material required to make this ball is three small skeins of Berlin wool of three colors, yellow, green and red, a piece of wadding eight inches square, a handful of hay and a pill box. First row—Yellow wool, chain 6 and unite to form a ring, into this work 15 treble, join and break off. Second row—Join on red wools and work two trebles into each stltoh, join and break off. Third row—Join on green wool, 2 tre- bles in the first stitch, 1 in the next, 2 in the next, 1 to the next. and so on to the end of the row, join and .-break off. Fourth rem—Join on yellow wool; work one treble into every -stitch to the end of the row, then join and break off. This completes one-half; repeat the stitehes for the other halt. Now to make up the ball take the .two halves, and with needle and wool sew them together half -way round. Now take the pill box and peas to make a rattle, place this in a handful of hay, and firmly press it into a ball the size of an orange. Neatly wrap the wadding around it, gently press it through the opening and complete the sewing. ..1 +•-err-+..,-�aa Champion Flnnband Beater. To Brooklyn belongs the honor of pro- ducing the champion husband -beater of the east. Her name is Mrs. Amelia Ryitn. Mr. Rylin's story is a very gad one. He is a sugar -house worker and ap- parently a strong and robust man. Mre. Rylin is a woman of ordinary size, but of extraordinary spirit, Tbeso are some of the things Mr. Rylin says she does to him when the domestic machinery does not work smoothly. She sits on the back of his neck and pounds his faoe against the floor. She jumps up and down on his spine. She "lams" him on the head with a poker. Sbo pours bot water on him. She throws crockery at him. She attacks him with warm stove lids. She almost fractures his skull with coal seuttlos, wash boards and frying pane. She throws him down stairs. She looks him in his room and starves him. Law of Compensation. Mlraouioua is the law' of compensation.

The country was tiey and Dui iu Dimity and See nn Burned toe Cinder. It was fiery hot It v/As noon when we reached the junotVD otBoEl$tlla where we turned eastvf1ird towel.% Granada. The carriage seemed'a forum*, its wood was fire to our touoli, the air that came through the windows was burning. The country was scorched to a cinder; the mountains glittered in the heat; the shadeloss towns quivered in a hot haze like a mirage. We lay back, panting, fanning ourselves with our hats and our guidebooks. We name to baked, dust - driven stations; et eaoh was the same ory of " Water I water!" from the women who made a living by selling it, and the people in the train who were trying to drink it. To names—Antequora, Loja, San Fer nando—that earlier bad thrilled us in Murray a ,od Washington Irving we were now indifferent, as they were spluttered by the duet-ohoked guard. For hours the horizon was bounded by low mountains, with here and there tiny patches of snow on their upper slopes. But where were the dazzling, glowing, snow -peaks of the Sierra Nevada, that loom up so mag- nificently In the romance of Washington Irving, and in the story of every traveler who has• been to Granada? True, through the cane -brake, stifling in the torrid air, we had seen two or three low hills crowned with live groves, planted like a map, and on the top of each something that looked like the ruins of gigantic brick -kilns or tumbled - down factories. Granada must be near, for we had passed San Fernando; but neither to the right nor to the left couid we seethe minarets of the Moorish city, or the domes of Catholic Spain. Slower and slower went the train, and then it stopped. Every ono got out, and we knew it was Granada.—"Lights and Shadows of the Alhambra," by Elizabeth Robins Pennell, in the Century. MYTHS OF HISTORY. Modern Research Hag Wrecked Many Cherished Stories. The path of recent historical research is strewn with the wrecks of discredited myths, but of all these the wreck of the onoe cherished story of William Tell, Gessler and the apple is the most con- spicuous. In 1760 a German book was published casting doubts on the narra- tive, and this book was publicly burned by the hangman of the canton Uri. It is now proven beyond any doubt that neither Tell nor Gesslor had any exist- ence, and the story of William Tell is now forbidden to be inserted in Swiss school books. Among many other myths once accepted as fact the following are conspicuous: The pass of Tbermopylas was defended, not by three hundred Spar- tans, but by seven thousand Greeks. Nero did not chant the "Burning of Troy" during a conflagration in Rome, and he did not murder his mother. Con- stantine the Great was great only as a scoundrel. The priest at the guil- lotine did not say to Louis XVI.: "Son of St. Louis, ascend •to Heaven!" and the king did not die with dignity, for he straggled with his executioners and screamed for help and mercy. The Span- ish Armada was not scattered by the winds of Heaven. The winds changed four times in its favor and saved it each time from destruction. In fact, if the wind had not gone right round to the south just after the battle of Gravelinos, it is highly improbable that a single ship would have escaped. Carriage and Visiting Toilettes. There li no end to the charming de- signs for carriage and visiting toilettes— many of them as dainty as dreams. White mohair forms the base for many of the smartest toilettes. - A fetching one I have in mind is made up with a wide skirt and jaunty Eton jacket and is beau- tifully embroidered in an open work pat- tern with shades of tan and brown, Gold braid is a favorite decoration in many of these natty toilettes. A handome gown of illuminated mo- hair showing tints of soft rose and velvet is made up with a blouse of Persian mousseline de sole in the same shade, and frills of rose velvet. Black and white effects are still much the rage, and form the color scheme for many of the elabor- ate oostumes. A charming dainty gown of blank mousseline de sole, thickly embroidered with small leaves in white honiton laoe, is made up over a foundation of black taffeta, and lavishly trimmed with frills of yellow point de veniso and broad black satin ribbon. The skirt is trimmed with lengthwise frills with flat insertions of the lace, an extremely, j?'renohy touch. The bodice is round and smoothly fitted with the black gauze drawn loosely over it. There are double ripples at the waist of the blaok satin ribbon, edged with the narrow lade, flashed at the waist by a narrow bolt of out steel and jet. The sleeves are banded with ribbon and lace lavishly, and are out in a deep point at the wrist to extend over the hand. A smart French sailer hat to be worn with this gown is in the dead white braid, faced with fancy black braid, and trimmed with a huge knot of black and white ribbon and bunches of Mice of the valley. Growing Up. "I wish he could always remain a baby," many a mother has gaid, as she bas suddenly realized that Time is almost imperceptibly, yet surely, carrying the little boy away. Tho man, though, takes his place, more helpfully, more intelli- gently; but it is not the same. "I wish he could always remain a baby." A writer of note has truthfully and beautifully written to regard to the training of the man -child: "To -day he to at your feet; to -day you can- make him laugh, yon can make him cry, you can make his eyes till and his bosom swell with recitals of good and noble deeds; In short, you can mold him if you will take the trouble. But look ahead some years, when that little voice shall ring in deep bass tones; when the small form shall have a man's weight and tramp; when a rough beard shall cover that lit- tle round chit.; and the wilful strength of manhood fill out that little form. Then you world give worlds for the key to his heart; but If you Lose it now when he Is little, you may search Pyr it care- fully some day with tears and never find it." The Ancient joke. "Hal hal" chuckled the villager, after the beetle-browed footpad had made a fruitless investigation of his pockets, "This is a good joke on you. I am on my way home from a ohureh fair and haven't a cent left." "Buhr replied the beetle-broteed footpad, earoastteelly. "It strikes too that joke had itd run about the , tithe s fool and bis Money literts parted." ►TRAI OH T AS Ai *H* 0* . TO THE MARK. In all diseases that affect humanity 'there is some weak link in the chain of health, some spot that is' the seat of the trouble. It may be the liver, it may be the stomach; perhaps it is the bowels or the kidneys; most likely it is the blood.

There are little mannerisms of speech which .belong to certain parts of the country, and are caught up unconsciously by young people, so that when they go away from home those who meet them have little difficulty in deciding from what point they started. For instance, if a young girl drops her final g's, and says mornin', evenin', greetin', meetin', oomin', and goin', I know whore she comes from. I have visited in a place or two where the sweet -voiced ,people nearly all cut off their final g's. And if she rolls her r's, and says the words that have r in them with a burr, I recall a journey I made one summer, and 1 re- member numbers of nice girls who all paid r the compliment of twisting it lovingly around their tongues as they used it. A girl who says dnown for down and caow for cow labels herself as plainly as if she labeled a trunk, and so does a girl whose vowel sounds are all matters of conscience to that degree that she speaks as if she were mentally spelling her words.—Harper's Weekly, Ry the Boarders. "Oh, dear!" groaned the hired girl, ns She washed off the boarding-house stairs, "I'm awfully tired." "Yea," sympathized the stairs, in a creaky voice, "it's a hard spring. I'm a good deal run down myself." Consumption is cured by the use of Shiloh's Cure. This great Cough Cu'e is the only remedy for that terrible disease,— Sold by J. H. Combe, Clinton.
