A number of business men residing in various parts of London, and the suburbs have, says the London correspondent of the Manchester Cour- ler, been affected by diphtheria. No cause could be assigned. There were no other cases of the disease in the respec- tive neighborhoods, nor could it be at- tributed in any instance to defective drainage, bad milk or any similar cause. Eventually 4t was discovered that in each case the patient had been in the habit of eating oysters for luncheon at & particular restaurant in the city, and itis assumed that the cause is tw be found here. Tho inforior kinds of oys- ters which have been transplanted from their native beds to be fattened at Whit- stable are credited with being the cause of the disease. New York's Arab Population. It appears that there is a large Arab population in New York.

There issmall chance for expression; the eye gets no show at all, and the contour of the cheek, which is seldom beautiful, except in children, is betrayed. Yon will find they have a rooted objection te full-face positions. I have never been able to discover why. There isa ten- dency to raise one eyebrow higher than the other, or look cross-eyed; but it is his business to look out for that, and stop you if your features begin to wan- der around your face. “Now, in painting a face for photog- raphy the eyes can safely be made uva great deal. Put black under the eye, only don’t let it be just one heavy black line. Shadow it out softly. Blacken the lashes as much as they will stand, only don’t let them be lumpy. Increase the apparent length and sweep of the upper lid, by which the size of the eye is judged, with a line continuing the line of the lashes, and a parallel one continuing the line of the crease that shows just above when the eye is open. Draw these only as long as can be done without their showing as lines. An ac- tress obtained a clever picture in which the effect of very long lashesis given by lines, presumably shadows thrown by said lashes, painted above the eye, just under the eyebrows. Use red very care- fully. Your lips probably netd paint- ing into an improvement upon their own shape. Do it softly and with very faint red. Red takes black. Look carefully and you will trace a hard line about the lips of many actresses’ photographs. Sometimes you don’t need to look care- fully. If you want a dimple to show specially, you can heighten its light and shade a little; but unless your pho- tographer poses you so that the device does not betray itself the effect will be a failure. Having thus accentuated your face, don’t disturb its arrangement by a smile, or smirk, or any other grimace of expression when the lens is opened on you. Otherwise, art and nature wil} make a hopeless mess of your features. But if you have planned an expression in barmony with the make-up, save it till the last moment. ‘The operator is bound to grip the back of your neck with his monkey wrench, and if you hang on to your joyful smile all through that or- deal you will get something demonic and wild to send to your friends."--N. ¥. Sun. 5) LIFE IN HELIGOLAND. The Patriarchal System Still Exists and Is Rigidly Observed. Zhe women of Heligoland are, gener- ally speaking, small and gacefully form- ed and present a remarkable contrast to their tall and strapping mates. The fe- male loveliness is unfortunately some- what transient, no doubt owing in large measure to the inferior fare and rough work with the nets. No idea of female suffrage is ever likély to enter a Heligo- lander's head. His idea of the relation of the sexes is theold one that the man is the head of the wife and that women, take them as you like, arean inferior order; they are kind and court- eous to their women in all respects, but there is no doubt who is lord and bread- winner. The patriarchal system has scarcely died out Each _lus- ty, broad-shouldered son, though he may have passed his twenty-first birthday, is required togive all or nearly all his earnings to his fa- ther so long as he lives in his father’s house. When he marries and takes up house for himself then only does the patria protestas come to an end. Heligo- landers asarule marry young; there are more women than men, and it is not difficult to finda mate. Housekeeping isnot an expensive job, and there is plenty of money to be earned if a man is intelligent and industrious.

This led certain parties to manufacture rub- ber boot heels, as 2s and inexpen- sive preventive. It is searcely likely that any one will ever grow rich in the business, nor is it reasonable to suppose that there is any dire need of sucha contrivance. Nature has made ample provisions against jarring. even while walking on hard s Between tho bones of the spine : placed cushions, asit were, which permit us to come down quite heavily upon the heels with- out receiving any considerable shock. Besides this, she has adjusted springs in the legs and feet in the form of mus- cles, which act like rubber bands in deadening shock. It is barely possible that a person might injure his spine by walking upon hard sidewalks, but he would have to take a great deal of such exercise—far more than the infinite ma- jority indulge in. Another thing, city residents walk differently than do those who live in the country. The former step off light- ly, and come down easily on the foot, seldon, if ever, striking the ground fair- ly, or allowing much weight to fall up- on the heels. Asa rule, the ball of the foot receives the force and weight of the body, the heel merely acting as a pivot. Their's is a sort of shuffling gate, where- as those who are accustomed to walking upon soft ground strike with greater force upon the heels. ‘Todig them in slightly is often necessary to secure a firm footing, so this habit becomes quite confirmed. The square “heel and toe” way of walking is almost entirely con- fined to short distance pedestrians—pro- fessional walkers. When that gait is assumed a jar is felt, even on soft ground, which would prove injurious wereit keptup. ‘laken allinall, there does not appear to be any thing in this theory to give it any great importance; and, considering the many actual hurt- ful influences of city life which urgent- ly demand remedying. this seems very trifling. —Washington Post. WEALTHY BEGGARS. Street Musicians Who Have Grown Rich In Real Estate Booms. Several weeks ago two plainly dressed middle-aged. women appeared on the streets here as mendicants. Both had accordeons, from which they pumped the most doleful specimens of harmony imaginable, and to the accompaniment they sang in high, cracked voices. With characteristic American careless genor- osity, the crowds contributed nickles and pennies by scores and the women reaped a liberal harvest. Among the hundreds who saw the women bere was a lady who recognized them. “I have seen them in New York, in Portland, Ore.. and in Salt Lake City,” she said. “They go to Salt Lake City every year to look after valuable property they have there. ‘The truth is, I am told, they are wealthy. They saved several thousand dollars from their street earnings and invested the sum in real estate in Salt Lake City. Then the boom came on there and in a few months,the women wererich. Now they have valuable investments in vari- ous cities, and their business judgment seems excellent. The great bulk of their wealth is in Utah, however, and their property there is growing more valuable every day. ‘The women like their old profession of harping to the public, and stick to it as industriously as ever. They make a surprisingly large income from it and save a great deal every year. which goes to swell their investments. The possi- bility of these women following mendi- | cancy as a profession, and prospering at it, is “a thinking, unquestioning generosity of the American people.” —Indianapolis News.

GREELY GOT LEFT. How the Famous Editor Was Beaten Out of a Ham. the Tribune had moved its of- fices to Spruce and Nassau streets, in the old building. Mr. Rhoades came down one morning about nine o'clock and saw a’ big ham lying on the iron heater, writes a correspondent. Frank- lin J. Ottarson, the city editor, came in and said. ‘Dave, whose ham is that?” “T don't know. ‘Ot,” was the reply. “‘T only know that when*l came into the office that ham was there.* “Give it to ne.” said “Ot.” “Nothing of the kind,” said Rhoades. “If you want it, come around and get it.” Ottarson promptly went around and took it. At12o0’clock Mr. Greely came around and said: “Dave. where is my bam?” “Your ham! Get up to Ottarson’s as quick as you can, and probably you will find it in the pot boiling.” “Well, confound you,” said Mr. Gree- ly, using more vigorous language, how- ever. ‘Why did you give Ottarson that ham?” “He took it,” was the reply. “‘Ottar- son came down and asked for the ham. I wouldn't give it to him, and he took it” Next day Mr. Greeley said: ‘‘Con- found you, you gave ‘Ov’ that ham.” “Nothing of the kind.” “Ot? says you did.” “He’s not telling the truth.” Shortly afterward Mr. Greely unbur- dened his mind to his associates in words something like these: ‘You lot of thieves, I'll have to pin my shirt on my back if I don’t want to lose it among you.”—Chicago Evening Journal.
