They used paralfine paint, and it, in drying, gave off a suffocating gas which overcame the men.

Mr. Vogle hurried to the ladder and started to descend. When half way down he was overcome by the gas and was barely able to reach the top again. A workman who followed also had to return.

A TAKIS BEAUTY-DOCTOR. Extraordinary Methods for Making Women Artificially Attractive. New York Press. A shrewd little business woman "who keeps a beauty parlor in Paris, where oils, creams, balms, lotions, soaps, perfumes, powders and toilet articles are offered for sale, has this inscription over the door leading to the cabinet: "Trust me all in all or not at alL" Keen-eyed and close-mouthed, wary as only a woman of the world can be, she brings to her profession the experience and intelligence of a medical career aud the refinement, of a lady. For reasons of her own she lives entirely within herself, is known as "Madam" by her enscustomers, and with the assistance of a young woman conducts a business which, while exclusive, is both remunerative au'd respectable. No man is ever seen to enter tho place, save as a messenger or collector, and. whilo any woman can buy goods, only a chosen few are admitted-the toilet cabinet for treatment, though it is from these few that her income is derived. She values her time at the rate of twenty-live francs an hour, but she is quick in treating a case, clear in prescribing, and in a tif teen-minute talk one is often put in possession of most valuable hints. The patron is seated in an ' adjustable chair, and a hand-glass placed on her lap. By degrees the shade is rolled down from . tht window, and madam looks her customer over aud knows the thing to be done in an instant. A greasy, gray lace is thoroughly washed by steaming it, to open tho pores and eruptions. Blotches and soreness of the lips are treated with sweet oil and cream. Inllamed lias are anointed, lashes are combed and clippod, eyebrows shaped to describe pretty curves, and where there is a tendency to meet the bridge of the noae is cleared of straggling hairs with an electric needle. She trains tho hair to grow abont the temples in tho manner most becoming to the face; and "scolding locks' and "ear pieces'' aro effcctnallv dealt with. A poor complexion is made the. subject of dietetic philosophy, and if necessary she will make out a bill of fare which, if adhered to for a year, will certainly provo beneficial not only to the face, but to tho f eneral health of tho body. She has grout aith in perspiration, and advises Ions walks, even in tho hottest weather, with the face heavily veiled. Kitchen, work is also prescribed. Not long ago a lady in society who pa3s a cook 8,000 a year was told Jo go into the kitchen and fell peas, mix ih cake or knead hread for an hour every day to freshen up her complexion. Madr.me is an enthusiast on the subject of cleanliness, and argues that there is a degree of personal neatness equally as fascinating as beauty. Without actually cleaning tho hair, 6ho will direct the work and superintend an arrangement most agreeable to tho lines of the face. She has a hundred tricks to make lovely woman doubly attractive. For instance, anyone can manicure a pair of hand?, but few are aide to cure redness of the skin and swollen veins. She advises muscular action. One woman is ordered to fan herself, a lorgnette mounted on a rod of silver is suggested for another, so that when not in nse the too highly colored members aro piled on the tip of tho rod. thus forcing tho blood down from the hands; a third is told to knit incessantly, and the writer has in mind two beautiful women pursuing this plan whoso names are famous all over Europe. Of all the remarkable thinesdono by this very remarkable woman, that of dressing a lady's arms exceeds everything else, fcomo otherwise beautiful arms are marred by a light growth of hair, to which sleeveless bathing suits aud lace-sleeved walking dresses have so largely conduced. One season of bare arms on tho'boach is all the lesson a society woman needs; after that she takes her ocean dip in long sleeves, silk raits and a broad-brimmed hat. llnC the mischief accomplished, it is necessary to pluck the arms before tho fair creatufo canaprear in evening dress. In this operation the inadarae is an expert. She goes over tho arm with a pair of tweezers the dav of the opera, ball or carpet party, and drawing out the darker hair from shoulder to wrist, resorts to some delicate paste to conceal the down that remains. Of course this treatment has got to be repeated for each subsequent occasion, and those ladies who gain , society a great deal lind the low-neck and short-sleeve bodice a most expensive fashion. Theso visits aro kept profoundly secret, and are made by appointment. Ono lady pays Madame 20 a year to dress her right arm only, doing the left herself; a well-known singer's pretty month is kept free from the hateful shade of a dark mustache for 15, paid in monthly checks, and a few women of position and wealth go to the parlor to have their hair examined and the threads of silver pulled out or touched with bleaching fluid. The Ilorse Must He educated Up to It. ' Nebraska JonrcaL The Supreme Court of Indiana has decid- 1 ed that a bicycle-rider is entitled to all the rights of a public highway and does not have to give theentircltrack to vehicles run by horses. The bicycle has come to stav, like the locomotive; There was a timo when it was not permitted a locomotive to run in Ohio with steam up, nearer than five miles to an incorporated town on account of the danger of scaring horses. A similar tendency to rule out bicycles was observed a few years ago, but tho end of the trouble is that the horse' must educate himself up to modern improvements and be taught to endure tho sight of anything that runs on wheels, propelled by whatever motor. It is a question of time only, for the horse is Eueceptible of very high civilization. Keeping Up Appearances. St. Paul Pioneer Press. There is one way of making people belicve you have a spring overcoat when vou haven't. A youug dry goods clerk has discovered the secret.
