BEAUTY REPAIRED TO ORDER. "Tiilli't Iirlr Whr Wonifii (in to II '1 hrlr I hcci, IImimW, 1 ort und llutr titerliMulril. Beauty is not .skin deep. At least, tlie leauty specialists Miy not, und in all big cities there uro well-known toilet parlors whero women out of repair go, ami in u few hours havu their looks tnemled and renovated in a remarkable manner. The process logins with the manicure, who chii pare, elean, file, bleach ami polish the most neglected linger tips till the ugliest hand takes on a look of symmetrical refinement astonishing to its owner. Then, if desired, the clever girl will roll up tne customer's sleeves to the elbow, plunge hands and wrists in a crystal bowl filled with warm water and perfumed liquid soap, and give them a genuine bath.

She rubs and kneads them, uses a soft little brush the while, dries them on a linen towel, apolies a soothing, odorless white cream, whitens them

with a vegetable preparation, touches a liquid borax to moisten palms, scorches away disfiguring hair along the forearm, and at the end of twenty minutes produces a pair of as white,

smooth, dainty polished members as -ever beauty would ask to display below

her ball-gown sleeve.

By making engagements to come at

regular intervals she will treat them till this aspect becomes permanent, and

as she works shcexplainsull the means: whereby at home the course of improvement can be kept up. Out of the manicure's hand the expert pedicure carries pne oft" to a little alcove. The canons of true beauty now read in favor of the feet that are not only straight and seemly inside long, well-shaped patent-leather shoes, but satisfactory objects as well for the owners contemplation when denuded of all covering. The hairdresser conies along after a little and in another alcove, without more Injury to one's toilet than removal of one's hat, inaugurates and exhilarating shampoo. There is yet another process that is followed by women who desire facial treatment for wrinkles or pallor r blemishing moles, moth patches, or the disfiguring blackheads that in the dusty city settle into the closest woven skins. Here with steam and electricity

the most wonderful results are accomplished. A half hour is spent hanging -over a cloud of steam, while a tirmfin gored attendant smoothes and pinches, washes and brushes, polishes and douches the offending features till they glow with color and cleanliness. Now so heartily do women advocate aud benefit by this species of treatment for good looks that those who can afford it make a regular round of the toilet parlor by appointment on certain hours and days. They have their own lockers in a big dressing-room, where they keep a tlannel or white Turkish bath robe, a pair of slippers and a complete set of toilet implements for manicure and pedicure, hair dresser anil masseuse. Numbers of them, who believe in the truth of a pound of prevention, bring their school girl daughters, too, for here the hair dresser will treat a scant foil for richer growth, encourage their eyebrows to take a deeper, clearer line, keep a girl's feet from corns cure her of biting her nails and lips, and tone up a complexion that threatens to grow coarse or thick. .Boston Herald.

truth, he answered frankly that he had. "Let me have everything in your

he told of his invalid father, his overworked mother, and the helpless little ones at home, and explained that the

money he carried was hl soldier

with his own earnings, and that it was

all to have been sent that very day to

tho desolate family away off In renn

to the sad storv and when It was Jin

cer put the package into his lianas,

laying: "Here is your money, my boy, and I am glad that you will soon

have a chance to send it to your monier. Good-by, and may God bless aud take care of you."

The little fellow took the pacitage gratefully, and was soon on his way to his northern homo. His imprisonment had not crushed his ambition, however, and after a week's rest he returned to his old stamping ground, and was soon going his rounds as usual. Two of his brothers were sent home in pine boxes before tho war closed; but, except his brief sojourn in Libby, his experience in the army was not unpleasant, and when peace was declared he went home with enough money in his pocket to pay off the mortgage on the little house that had sheltered him from infancy.

THE AFRICAN ELEPHANT. A l'lea for the Itelmliilitatlon of Iba Aalmal by the Herman. Germany, which feels tho wont of a reliable beast of burden In her Est African territory more than England, seems to have resolved on the redomestlratlon of tho African elephant. Some time ago a German officer commenced a series of visits to tho Indian "Iceddahs," and, after mastering- so far as possible the Indian methods and system of catching and training; wild elephants, has hired a stall of experienced Indian catchers aud trainers, and is to establish a government "elephant stud" in German East Africa.

dains that the son shall resign all honors and employments to repair to the ancestral tomb, aud mourn there for a long period. Mr. John Busscll Young relates how the Chinese premier, Li Hung Chang was prevented from punctiliously observing the custom by an imperial decree. The aged mother of the great Chinese statesman died, and he hurried tc celebrate the rites at her grave,aeeom--nanied by his brother, the viceroy at

His enemies thought that Li had gone finally; his place would be tilled by anothcr.and his power become a memory. Suddenly there came a decree fron: the throne, commanding Li to lay aside mourning, and at the "end ol three months resume office. His broth

er was permitted to remain at the tomb and do the filial reverence. The decree was without precedent; but the emperor was sacred, und his command supreme. LI Hung Chang returned tc Tien-Thin, his home. When Mr. Young saw the premier's vmOit siMohored in the harbor of Che-

for his carefulness in raiment and cleanliness of person, appeared as the meanest subject, that he might, by privation and penance, do reverence to his mother's memory, according to the creed of his ancestors.

older boys hurried off to the nearest town to enlist in the defense of the country which was so dear to them. Ben, the youngest son, scarcely fourteen years old. with his heart filled with genuine patriotism, ran away from home, and. eluding pursuit, made his way unassisted to tho camp on the Potomac. "He'll be back when he finds out that boys of fourteen are uot wanted in the ranks," said his father, when ho learned what had become of him. But he was mistaken, for when the little fellow discovered that he could not enlist as .- soldier, ho determined to re,n!n nt. th.- front and cam his bread

by selling papers to the soldiers. His I pluck won him unexpected success, and he was very proud to be able to scud back substantial help to the needy ones at home. About November 10, 1SG2, he left camp between New Baltimore and "Warrenton, and mado his way to Washington for a supply of papers. Having accomplished his object, he set

The old man was too modest to tell of the poverty that had overtaken him in his declining days, but a visit to his humble home, where an Invalid wife and two young daughters were dopending on his daily toll for the necessaries of life, convinced the great lawyer that his chnnco of returning tho

cup of cold water given mm so iok

before, had indeed come. Before leaving he arranged for the removal of the family to his own town, where a lucrative situation in his office enabled the old father to provide a comfortable home for his family and furnish him with the means of cdueatln his daughters so ns to prepare them for taklug eoxe of thcmselvc.

Mr. Hncenboek's nancr takes tho

form of a plea for tho preservation of the African elephant. But with him preservation is merely tho necessary preliminary to their redoinestication,

for tho probable success in wmcii ue gives reasons which should bo very encouraging to thoso now pledged to the

undertaking. Mr. Uagenbeck writes with authority on the subject. Out of tv hundred African elephants brought to Europe in recent years ho has imported one hundred and seventy, and many of these have remained In his zoological gardens at Hamburg- and in America. With the histories of the rest since they passed into other hands ho is perfectly familiar. lie was recently able to tell the present writer the exact number of African elephauts, aiM the owner of each, in the different countries of Europe; and he has a national insight into the ways and means of animal domestication. Ho gives it as his opinion that the general : belief that "African elephants are not

so strong as, aro wiiucr, ana less easily tamed, and possess less euduraneo than, the Indian species, is wrong." He maintains, on tho contrary, that they are stronger, and at least as tractable, and as useful as beasts of burden or to be ridden as Indian ele

phants; and he claims to have convinced the Berlin Geographical society that this view was correct, as early as 1ST9, when he had a number of African elephants in that city. It will be quite sufficient for practical purposes if a part only of these anticipations are realized. If theAfican elephant can be trained and made an obedient slave, it will be a factor of enormous importance in a district whore the tsetse lly stops all animal

carriage, and where for generations human that is, slave transport has been the sole meansof conveying goods from the interior to the coast. The African elephant may well answer this purpose without becoming such a marvel of intelligence and docility as his Indian relative. Jloreover, he is not only as strong, but far stronger in mere phy.siquo than the Indian, the males being, on an average, two feet and the females one foot higher than the Asiatic snecies. Whether they have quite the

same massive dray-horse build may bo doubted; but for most purposes they

would nrobablv be even more servicea

ble as beasts of burden, and the question of general constitution would hardly arise in the ease f animals r.sed fn their own country, as these

would be in the German colonies.

wonderful that we sleep so well than that we are occasionally wakeful. Wc hear more of sleeplessness than our

forefathers did. It is a remarkable fact that in scarcely any of the older recognized text-books of practice of ph3'sie Is there any formal notice of insomnia perse. In later works, and especially in those devoted to treatment, the subject of insomnia does receive considerable attention. And every now and again the sleeplessness of a great man In the world of science or in that of politics reminds us that eminence has its troubles, and of a sort which seldom affect the poor man. It is probable that this evil of wakefulness is more common than it used to be. The excitements, and especially the worries, of life multiply. Many of

the arrangements of society are of a nature to drive away sleep. Even the very pleasures of life are so taken by many as to rob them of one of the greatest pleasures of all an eight hours' sound sleep; for wc maintain that this is what everybody should aim at. It may seem a long tiiuo to spend

Tho effect of this was Immediate. Confidence was restored, withdrawals of gold from tho treasury Immediately ceased, and the prico of the bonds at once went up. It was the successful placing of the loan and the restoration of confidence that enabled tho syndicate to advance prices so rapidly. It has, doubtless, mado good profits, but it was noticed tho other day that it was buying gold at a premium In order to carry out its contract to prevent shipments of gold from this country. The great improvement in business that has taken place since thoso dark days in February has vindicated tho wisdom of tho deal mado by Secretary

Carlisle. Although a four per cent, loan is called high now, it was very low some years ago. Even last February a gold bond could have been negotiated at three per cent., but tho secretary had no choice but to act at

once. By doing so he greatly strengthened tho credit of the country and doubtless averted a panic. Before ho acted European holders of our securities were throwing them on the market Since then Europe has been buyini? our securities again. Tho follow-
