The Huns and Poles made great shapes to try to paint the town red on Sunday, but as usual more wind than blood was lost. They had better wait until the houses get new weather boards on, and then don't spare the paint, let it be red or any other color. Many ANN. A Chinese Idea or Beauty. There really seems to be no end to the queer things which are done by the women of other countries to make their faces conform to their own ideas of female beauty. The feet, as you know, are de formed in China and Japan, and in some countries the woman go so far as to press their children's heads between boards so us to make them flat, boeause they con sider flat heads pretty and far superior in beauty to the natural shape. The In dian womon thickly smear their heads with bears' fat. The Turkish women al most without exception color their hair red. In Greenland the women color their faces blue and yellow. The women and children of Guzurat stain their teeth black, while the ladies of India and Japan gild their teeth and make them as brilliant as possible. But it remains for the Chinese to do something which we in our country would consider very bar barous and cruel indeed. The Chinese do not admire small eyes, and to reach their standard of beauty a girl's eyes must be not only very large, but very long and brilliant. The eyes are easily made brilliant by putting cer tain drugs in them, but to make them long when nature has not intended them to be so is quite another matter. To ac complish it tho women have often re course to a kind of homo surgery which must be very painful. A Chinese mother who has a child affected with small eyes takes the child at tho age of 10 or 12 and slits the eyelid at the corner, just where it joins the lower lid. A very small slit is made, and this is then left to heal. As soon as it is healed it is slit again, and this process is continued until the eyes appear very long and prominent.—Ex change. Detective "Work UH ft Profession. Tho growth of the detective profession has been brought home to us by a recent jmblication in an evening contemporary, j A private detective office in London was reported to have sent out an extraordi nary number of detectives—as they | doubtless prefer to bo called—for em ployment at the Chicago exhibition, and our contemporary had interviewed the chief of tho office upon the subject. The number of detectives actually likely to be employed oil this occasion proved to be very much smaller than was at first* reported, but for all that they were suffi ciently numerous to prove a fairly large demand for their services. In other respects, however, tho account that this gentleman gave of his business was of interest, though tho interest was not always of a pleasant kind. Ho sug gested that a use for his men would bo found by financiers and business men, who might require secret agents "work ing in business transactions—finding out market secrets, inventions, watching what speculators are doing and that sort of thing," and he assured his hearers that "that sort of thing is becoming much more general in England." Wo are sorry to hear it for the credit of English commerce. Most of them, ho admitted, would do "private work—so cial matters needing investigation and things of that sort." "That sort of thing," and "things of that sort" are somewhat indefinite expressions; never theless, under tho circumstances, they aro quite definite enough. Our imagina tion is equal to tho task of filling in the blank, though it is hardly equal to our distaste for the blank when filled in.— London Spectator.

NEUBURGER'S lis THE; P. O. OF Ar iIIILD IFO, FrEELAND, THAT SWAMP OF DEATH. Yes, it's straight and true, good preacher, | every word that you have said; Do not think these tears unmanly—theyr'o the first that I have shed. But they kind of pressed and pounded on my aching heart and brain, And they would not be let go of, and they gave me extra pain. I'm an ignorant day worker—work for food and rags and sleep— And I hardly know the object of the life we I slave to keep; But I know when days are cheery, or my heart i is made of lead, I know sorrow when I see it—and I know ray child is dead. No, she isn't much to look at, just a plainish j bit of clay. Of the sort of perished children you are seeing every day; And how she could break a life up, you'd be slow to understand, Hut she held mine, Mr. Preacher, in that little withered hand. I am just a laboring man, sir, of the kind that ; digs und delves. Hut I've learned that human nature cannot. | stay in by themselves; They will wander out for something, be it j good or bad. And my heart with hers had settled, and the girl was ull I had. There are lots of pretty children, with a form and face more fine, Let their parents love and pet them; but this little one was mine. There was 110 one else to cling to when we two were cut apart. And it's rough—this ainputution of the strong arms of the heart. 'Tis consoling, Mr. Preacher, and it's maybe as you've said, (iod loves children while their living, ami adopts them when their dead. Hut my brain won't quit contriving, do the very best I can, That 'twas not God's mercy took her, but the scltlslmcss of man. Why she lay here, faint and gnsping, moaning for a bit of air, Choked and strangled by the foul breath from the chimney's over there; For it climbed through every window and it crept beneath the door, And I tried to bar against it, but she only choked the more. She would lie here with the old look that poor children somehow get; She had learned to use her patience and she did not cry or fret; Rut would light her pale, pinched fueo up, full of-early grief and care. And would whisper, "I am dying for a little breath of air." If she'd gone out with the zephyrs, 'twouldn't have seemed so hard to me. Or among the cool fresh breezes that come rushing from the sea; Rut it's nothing less than murder when my darling's every breath Chokes and strangles with the poison from that cursed swamp of deuth. Oh, 'tis not enough that such men own the ground on which we tread, And the shelter that we crouch in, and the tools that earn our bread; They must put their blotted mortgage on the air and 011 the sky, Aud shut out little heaven, till our children pine und die! Yes, we wear the cheapest clothing, und our ineuls ure scant und brief, And perhaps those fellows fancy there's a cheaier grade of grief; Hut the people all around here, losing children, friends and mates. Can inform them that olliietion hasn't any under-rates. Oh, the air Is puro and wholesome where some babies grow and rest, And they trim 'em out with ribbons, and they feed 'ein with the best; Rut the love they get's an insult to the God of lovo on high. If to earn those children's living some one else's child must die. Pin no grumbler at the rulers of this "free and liuppy land," And I don't go round explaining things I do not understand, Hut there must be something treacherous in the steering of the law When we get a dose of poison out of every breath we draw. I have talked to much, good preucher, and I hope you won't be vexed, Rut I'm going to make a sermon, with thut white face for a text; And I'll preach it, and I'll preach it, till I set our |>eople wild 'Gainst the heartless, reckless grasping of the men who killed my child.
