A philanthropic old Jady who lives on a sm all street below Morris for several s past has fed daily a large number of sparrows in the front entry of her house. A great many of the little birds hover about the house of their friend and perch fearlessly on the steps and dow sills. The children and the neighbors, strange to say, have the ut- most pect- for the birds and ' take great care never to interfere with them. The old lady pays for the regular re- moval of her ashes and garbage. When- ever the ashman comes the sparrows are generally perched about .on the ledge of the ash barrel, and the man will not go near them until the old lady comes to the door and calls them all in- side. Recently an intruder in the shape of a white owl came to the door, and there was great excitement among the chil- en of ‘the neighborhood. They would not touch it because they thought it was a new pet, but when the old lady’s attention was called to the owl she gave the children icecream money to capture t and take it away from the vicinity, so that her sparrows would not be dis- turbed.—Phjladelphia Record. e Suddermann’s Great Play.

There is only one person in New York who makes a specialty of the process, but in Paris and London, where the idea originated, there are specialists who make a handsome living out of the process of tiansplanting hair from the head to the eyebrows or eyelashes. The specialist works by putting in, not on, the new eyelashes and brows wherever they are absent or grow thin, and so cunning is he in his work that not even for one of his the clc crutiny can detect any difference. By means of the.new process, it is said, eyes which are at ordinary times only passable become languishing in their expression, while eyes which were previously considered fine have their beauty much enhanced. This is the way new eyelashes are put in: An ordinary fine needle is threaded with a long hair, generally aken from the head of the person to be operated 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 af cocaine. The operator then by a few skillful 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 out along the edge of the lid, leaving f{ts hair thread in loops of carefully gradu- ated length. When this has been done another and another length of hair is sewed through the lid until finally there are a dpzen 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 “sewing of hair” for another sitting. The next step in the process is cutting off and trimming the ends of the loops, and ‘the result is a fine, thick, long set of eyelashes. It is the finishing touch that is to come that makes them look like nature’'s. own. ‘When they are first cut they stick out in the most singular fashion, giving the person operated upon the most uncanny look. The operator's next step is to take curling tongs, made of silver and no larger than Kknitting needles, and to glve them the curve which is essential to perfect beauty. Then the eyes are carefully bandaged and kept so until the following day. Most of the hairs that have been transplanted take root and grow, but a few of them fall out and have to be attended to. For the first month it is necessary to curl the new eyelashes every day, but after that they become properly assimilated, and it {s not necessary to give them any further at- tention. Eyebrows are doctored in the same but there is not so much pain associated with the process as in trans- planting evelashes. e egarding Red-Headed People. Red-headed people, as is well known, are less subject to baldness than others. A London doctor explains the matter thug: The hair of the red-headed is rela- tively thick, one red hair being almost as thick as five fair or three brown hairs. IWith 30,000 red halrs the scalp is well thatched, whereas with the same number of fair hairs one is comparatively bald. 1t takes 160,000 fair and 105.000 brown hairs to cover adequately an ordinary head. ———————————— The Cheerful Novel.

Probably the simplest arrangement is| the three inch wide Roman sash banded around the hat and tied in a neat bow on the left side. A little more ample than h, folded around the hat, piled up high at the side and finished off | with quills. The latter may be either straight and stiff or soft and curled. A still more elaborate trimming is that in which two sashes are used. One of heavy silk goes on first, and then above it | is twisted one of mull or chiffon. The latter is sometimes made, by graceful loopings, to form a cascade effect at the back of the hat. Decided contrasts of color are to be found in most of the hats. For instance, if the hat and sash are white, then the | two port quills, just starting up from the soft white mass, are jet black. No flow- ers are seen on the sailor hat.

Everybody has heard the story of Will-| fam Tell, who shot an apple fromr the head of his son with a bow and arrow, and of the wonderful feats of Robin Hood, Who roamed the green woods of “‘Merrie England” and could bring down a wild goose on the wing or split an opponent’s arrow with his own, There are many other curlous feats o archery, however, that are not so well known. There was a famous Willlam of Cloudesley, who split a hazel wand with | McKinley to increase the force of Amer- | his shaft from a distance of 200 vards. Homer tells how Penelope promised her many suitors that he only should be fa- vored | Who first Ulysses’ wondrous bow should bend And through twelve ringlets the fleet ar- row send, Weii knowing that only her’husband could display such power, when they failed, he rewon his wife, for, bending his elbo The whizzing arrow vanished from the string, Sung on direct and threaded every ring. The Romans were very skiliful bowmen, although they discarded the weapon in warfare, trusting to the charge and to hand-to-hand fighting. Many of the Ro- man Emperors were famous archers. is said that Domitian would place boys in the cifcus at a considerable distance from him and as the the fingers outspread he would send the rrows between them with such nicety and accuras flicted a wound. The wicked Emperor Commodus boasted that he never missed his aim or failed to kill the wild beast he shot with a single arrow. He would set a shaft in his bow as some wild beast was set free in the circus to devour a living criminal con- demned to die. Just when the furious animal was Fprlnq{lug on his prey the Emperor would strike it dead at the man’'s feet. Sometimes 100 llons were let loose at once, In order that he with 100 arrows might kill them. With arrows, the heads of “which were semi-circular,” he would sever the necks of the ostriches in full flight. The Persian archers, according to Char- lan, practiced at a mark placed on top of a mast twenty-six feet from the ground. Toward this the horseman rode, with bent bow, at full speed, and In pass- ing the mark turned and shot at it bacl ward, sometimes to the right and some- times to the left, seldom missing. The | Persian bow required a pull of 500 pounds. 1t is said that the Turks were at one v skilled archers. An old writer says that they practiced regularly with the bow from the time they wer 7 or 8 years old to manhood. It was a_common feat for them to shoot several arrows from a distance of ten yards into a mark not larger than a die. In July, 1792, Mah- moud Effendi, secretary to the Turkish Emba at London, shot an arrow 415 yards partly against the wind. In 1798 the ultan of Turkey shot an arrow 972 yards —a feat scarcely surpassed by those at tributed to Robin Hood.—Cincinnati Com. mercial Tribune. e ONE MAN Whom the Saloonist’s Sarcasm Failed g Utterly to Reach. The proprietor of one of Washington’s swagger saloons began to notice a couple df weeks ago the mighty onslaughts made at every noon hour upon the substantial and rather inviting free lunch spread out in his place for patrons. The man would stroll in just as the lunch was ready, buy a glass of beer at the bar and permit it to remain standing there, and then prance into the lunch like a whaler just back from a three-year imprisonment in Polar ice. He covered the whole layout, from pickles to baked beans, and he regarded | other nibblers at the free lunch with some austerity. When he lunch looked like the wind-up of a Roman table orgy, and the groprletot of the piace waxed sarcastic when the chap walked back to the bar for his beer on two or thrée occasions. “Bay, you overlooked that polled fish to- |§y," said the proprietor the firs{ time. ‘ou ought to be able to get away with about half of that fish."” " replied “No, 1 don't care much for fish, the man, smiling. “Thanks, all the same.” The next day when the man had wound up his attack upon the lunca and made it look like the galley of a lumber schooner after a bad trip around Hatteras, the pro- prietor said to him: ‘“You didn’t see that other pretzel on the dish, did vou?” “Why, did 1 leave one?" Inquired the man. “So I did,” and he walked back to the table and got it.” The proprietor had a job put up on the man last -Thursday noon. e free lunch monopolist turned up, the boss of the sa- loon went up to him and invited him to sit down at one of the tables. T've got a hot lunch to-day,” he sald. “It'll be ready in a minute.” The man sat down, and then a waiter came in from a neighboring restaurant, bearing a tray loaded down with the good things of a dollar regular dinner, from soup to nuts. The man ate it slowly and with gusto, the proprietor standing by to look on. “Is that mock turtle right?” asked the proprietor. “How's the roast lamb? Do you like those apple fritters?” etc. The man expressed his measurable sat- isfaction in reply to thesé guestions, and the proprietor was waiting for him to get ashamed or mad and go out. When the man had finished cracking the remainder of the English walnuts, after expressing his dissatisfaction over the comparative smallness of the strawberry shortcake that was on the tray for dessert, he wiped his mouth carefully with his nankin, got up and walked over to where the propries tor was standing. ‘That's a pretty good lunch.” he said, “but they put out better'n that over at *" and the Baltimore man walked Bal'mor’,’ out, “Sarcasm 1s wasted on such ducks” said the proprietor, gloomingly, watching the Baltimorean's retreating form.— ‘Washington Post, ———— The Pope when a young man was very shortsighted, but as he grew. older the range became longér.

It is believed he is now anxious to wipe out the memory of the past and put himself in the way of an appointment to an important place. His recent speech in the Reichstag praising the Government and its foreign policy has been interpreted as a bid for a complete reconciliation with the Emperor and his advise The papers generally expect to see him in some high position in the brance of his estr; Chancellor and wants to assoclate the name of Bismarck with his reign.

KAISER'S VIS “TOGET A PLACE O FRENCH SHP Causes Satisfaction at Berlin. —_— GRACEFUL ACTS BEAR FRUIT e WILLIAM’S COURTESY TO THE PARIS GOVERNMENT. e Some, However, Make the Comment That the Emperor Merely De- sires to Visit the Great fixpositiou. gt Copyrighted, 1599, by the Associated Press. BERLIN, July 8.—Emperor William's visit to the French training ship Iphi- genie at Bergen on Thursday, and his cordial exchange of telegrams with President Loubet, were not only r ceived with great satisfaction here, but throughout Europe. As one paper put it, it promises to be a turning point in the world's history. At the opening of the Kiel canal his Majesty went on board one of the French ships, but in the present instance, it is maintained, the Emperor set foot on the deck of a French vessel, which is equiva y French soil, by the express invitation of her commander, who w acting upon instructions from his Govern- ment. It is therefore believed here that the many graceful and courteous atten- tions which during the past seven .or eight years the Emperor has been in ernment have borne fruit. The m- peror’'s act has been sympathetically received in France, though some see in it only a desire to visit the Paris Ex- position in 1900. Most of the pape print the Iphigenie telegrams without comment. The Tageblatt says: “It was the first official act of France for a generation expressing a desire for more friendly relation: The courtesy of the Kaiser is gradually telling upon France.” The Vossiche Zeitung says: “The in- cident must fill with satisfaction the friends of the republic, not only on both sides of the Vosges, but everywhere in the world. It proves the present rulers of France are not hypnotized with the idea of a revanche and have the moral courage to show it.”” The Lokal Anzeiger sees in thé inci- dent proof of good relations. The Cologne Gazette looks upon it as an indication of how far French and German sentiments have moderated recently. The Vorwaets does not see in the af- | fair a turning point.in the world’s his- tory, and sarcastically expresses the | hope that Professor Stengel's mind | would now become more peaceful. The nttitude of the French press has caused much satisfaction here. Dogday dullness has suddenly set- tled upon Berlin. The Diet has ad- journed to August 14, and the Herren- Nearly all the Min- | isters have departed on their vacations | and the political excitement of the past week has given place to a quiet which the papers can only disturb by invent- ing new rumors of Ministerial changes. The Emperor is yachting off the Nor- wegian coast. No exciting speeches may be expected from him, and during | his absence the public has settled down for a month of quiet. | | | | ADVERTISEMENTS.
