DOUBLE FACES. A PHOTOGUAPHKB'S NOTES ON THE HUMAN COUNTENANCE. Very Few People Jiook the Same on Both Sides of the Face—Un ion II nut e Results of Thuinb-Suckiug;. Perhaps you are not aware of the fact, but, unless you are entirely different from the rest of humanity, one side of your iace is unlike the other, says Napo leon Sarony, in the New York World. Doubtless nine persons out of ten would not notice the difference, but it is there, and if you make a careful study of the profiles of your friends' faces you will find it in a more or less marked degree in every instance. This peculiarity of nature was called to my attention when I entered the prac tice of photography. Previous to this time I had been an artist and litho grapher, and naturally had been led to study the human figure with more or less care. I had discovered this incongruity of nature, if it may be so called, but it \vas not until I began posing models be fore the camera and had every line on the face emphasized,that this idiosyncrasy be came more apparent to mc and I set to work to discover the cause; for, of course, there is a cause for everything, the hu man face included. My first discovery was that the differ ence in outline lay almost invariably on the two opposite sides of the nose. The right side, for instance, might be pure aquiline, and the left show a decided in ward curving line. This difference I found in many instances had been caused by accideuts, such as had been received iu wrestling, falling, being struck by a ball or other misfortunes which youth is heir to. There is an indentation on one side of my own nose, caused by a blow from a ball, and it renders the expression of one side of my face almost entirely different from the other. But accident is not the principal cause of these facial differences in humanity. Not by a great deal. It traces way back to the cradle. Mothers find their infants will remain quieter when they arc suck ing their thumbs, and for peace in the household they very often lay the foun dation for what becomes a deformity in after life. Let mo explain: Baby lies in her cradle as still as a mouse. Iler chubby little thumb is held between her rosy lips, and the forefinger is pressing the cartilages of the nose on one side. It is that little forefinger that is doing all the mischief, for it is slowly, but surely, pressing the cartilage out of shape. If drops of water wear away a stone, surely constant pres sure will indent a human face. Let me cite you an instance: Not long ago a well-known society laily of this city brought her two daughters, aged fifteen and sixteen years respectively, to have their portraits taken. One of them ha<l almost faultless features, while the other, although her eyes were as beauti ful as her sister's, had a nose that was depressed on one side and Hps that pro truded so much that tliey showed the teeth. I guessed the cause, but deter mined to satisfy myself- It was a some what delicate task to question the young lady's mother, >ut I did, and she con fessed to me 'hat her daughter had been in the habit of sucking her thumbs until she was more than three years old. A fc*v years ago • somebody wrote a book entitled "Shut Your Mouth," in which were explained the evils that fol lowed the practice of sleep with the mouth open. I wish somebody else would write a book urging upon mothers the necessity of breaking their infants of the habit of thumb-sucking. It may seem to be a small thing, but there would be many more symmetrical features if it were attended to. In posing for photographs another fact that has been impressed upon my observation is that which is known as the part side of the head—the side on which the hair is parted—is almost in variably hard to take. During my career I have found that the three-quarter view is generally the most effective—always, of course, being certain to secure the good side of the face. For, if you se cure the wrong side, then no camera ever 'invented could turn out a portrait that would satisfy the sitter, who, while he could not define the reason, would know that the likeness is not good, that is to say, did not show him at his best, where everybody wants to be shown who goes to a photographer. One of the most remarkable instances of the difference in the sides of the face was General Hancock. I have seen photographs of him taken from opposite sides and they were so totally dissimilar that it seemed almost impossible to be lieve they were portraits of one and the same person. The number of double-faced people people is something remarkable. Not double-faced people in the usual accep tance of the. word, hut people with real, bona-fide double faces, which, to the photographer, represent not necessarily the good and bad sides of humanity, but, most assuredly, the good and bad sides of a likeness. And the pity of it all is that much of this double-sidedness might be obviated if infants' thumbs were kept out of their mouths. Fur Rugs. The most superb of fur rugs is made from the skin of the lion. When the lion is five years old his mane has attained its full growth, and he is then ready to be sacrificed at the altar of civilization. Next in beauty comes the tiger. The graceful, cat like head, and sleek, glossy skin make a truly effective rug—indeed, many preier it to the lion skin. The bears, and especially the grizzlies, are very popular. The white polar bear is arranged in a very realistic manner, with his great mouth open and formidable claws projecting grimly from the soft fur. All these animals are displayed with one-quarter, one-half and full heads— that is, raised and stuffed in those shapes. The last style is the handsomest, of course, and the most desirable rugs are the ani mal shapes with the head arranged as in life. However, there are many other rich rugs made of the skins in oblong shapes, and these arc, in many cases, to be pre ferred, for one of the heads placed by a door or in the centre of a room is likely to prove a general stumbling block. Very effective rugs arc made of the white Iceland sheep; the hair is long and fluffy and perfectly white. Black sheep skin rugs are also seen, some being made of the genuine black Iceland sheep,while others are dyed. Rugs of brown bear skin bordered with black, of black bear edged with gray wolf, of white bear trimmed with black, and of bearskin wholly of one color are much liked, and their long hair gives a room a wonderful air of comfort. The skin of the axis deer is of a tawny-brown color showing white spots, and is not long-haired but very smooth; it is bordered in colored wool seal, making a rug that is especially suitable for the bathroom, since neither of the pelts are affected by water.—De lineator. Vanderbilt's New Palace. George AV. Vanderbilt, the youngest of the sons of the late William 11. Vander bilt, is determined, in addition to his well-known palace in New York, to have the most magnificent private park and the lordliest country estate in America. To that end ho has recently bought at a cost of $310,000 nearly five thousand acres lying just outside of Ashcvillo, N. C. His landscape gardener is already at work laying out and beautifying these extensive grounds at an expense of $300,- 000 more. His architect ii busy prepar ing the plans for a lordly pleasure house, like an old style French chateau, which yill cost an additional $400,000. His model stables, which will be scattered over the 5000 acres, for the purpose of housing thousands of horses aud cattle of the very bluest of blue bovine blood, will cost, it is said, at least $200,000 more. So that the estimated cost al ready foots up the magnificent sum of $1,200,000. The shoi'test distance from the stately entrance gates to the still statelier man sion of the lord of this vast estate will be four miles by a magnificent roadway sixty feet wide, and it is said that there will be more than fifty miles of macadam ized roads within the grounds.—Philadel phia Times. Bogus "Broiled" Steaks. "Nearly everybody has a prejudice in favor of broiled steaks and fish, instead of fried," said a cook in a restaurant, "but in mauy eating houses, even of the better class, the customers eat their 'broiled' steak or fish contentedly, and with a relish which they would reject and raise a row about if they knew how it had been prepared." He said that it is fried notwithstand ing the straight, regular marks ap parently made by the gridiron. Steaks and fish are more easily and quickly made ready for the table by frying than by broiling, and this is the reason for the imposition. When the steak or fish is put into the frying paii the cook sticks a poker into the red-hot coals. By the time the edible is cooked the poker is red hot. "The steak or lish," said the cook, "is then put on a plate, and the hot iron laid across it, burning in the parallel marks such as would be made by a grid iron, and then the dish goes to the cus tomer's table, masquerading as a 'broiled sirloin or 'porterhouse,' or 'a nice broiled fresh mackerel,' or the like, as the order may require."— New York Journal. Fish Charms. Fish charms have been met with among many nations. The fish called the bull head is used by some of the Russian peasants as a charm against fever. Many kinds of fish have two hard bones just within the sides of the head, and one species, the tnaigre, has these bones larger in proportion than most, others. These two hones, called colic stones, are re garded to possess medicinal virtues. They were mounted in gold and hung round tLe neck. POPULAR SCIENCE. j A French electrician has found that the electric current retards the separation of cream and preserves the milk. Professor 8. P. Langley's latest re searches indicate that the mean tempera ture of the sunlit soil of the moon is not greater than the freezing point of water, or thirty-two degrees Fabr. Waste water power cau be converted into electric energy, conveyed from ten to 100 miles on a small copper wire in amounts from ten to 500 horse power, at a cost not to exceed $6500 per mile for the greater distance and the larger power Peat is even more plentiful in Brazil than in Ireland, and it is largely used for making paraffin for candles and lubricat ing oil, which arc obtained by distilla tion. One establishment employs 300 workmen, has 33 boilers with other necessary apparatus, and is capable of turning out 80 tons of peat paraffin a month. Many bacteria, states Professor Law, are capable of doubling themselves every hour under the best conditions, a single bacterium giving 16,777,220 in twenty four hours. In forty-eight hours the oil spring from a germ measuring one fifteen thousandth of an inch would fill a half pint measure, the number reaching 281,- 500,000,000. To take out machine grease use rain water and soda. To remove oil and varnish from silk try benzine, ether and soap very cautiously. To take out paint mix equal parts of ammonia and turpen tine. Saturate the spot two or three times, then wash out in soapsuds. Paint can sometimes be rubbed out of woolen goods after it has dried. In observations with kites and balloons Professor Lconhard Weber Las found that the atmosphere is negatively electri fied up to a height of about 100 yards, beyond which it is positively electrified in a degree increasing very rapidly with the distance from the earth. The nega tive electrification of the lower strata of the air is attributed to the presence of germs and dust particles. Observations recently made in Italy iu regard to the microbe of malaria show that at a certain period of its develop ment this microscopic creature has ene mies to fight iu a globule of blood, and that, in order to escape from them it makes use of its flagella or whips, with which it tries to beat oil the inimical microbe that is bent on absorbing it and generally «nH« by doing so. AN American lady who recently visited Count Tolstoi, the great Rus sian novelist, complains that ho is not quite consistent in practicing vhat he preaches. He holds that there is something degrading in the mere hand ling of money and property, and ac cordingly delegates to the Countess the control of the household and the entire management of his pecuniary affairs. She observed, however, that he has a luxuriously furnished study, and horses, carriages and servants at his command—although they are his wife's. On the whole the great man would appear to have beeii rather a disappointment. They <lisnpre»r likp hot rakes before a St. Louis t ruin p—"Tails ill's Punch" se. fißiir.
