Women of the upper and middle classes have far too generally adopted the harmful and detestable practice of imparting1 artificial color to their faces and fictitious whiteness to their nocks , according to the Daily Telegraph. Some oven enamel their shoulders and arms at leastso wo are told animated by a feeling akin to the professional enthusiasm of the provincial actorwho , upon being unexpectedly cast for the part of Othello , promptly blacked him self from head to foot , in order to bo in perfect keeping with the important role assigned to him. The application to the skin of these red and white com pounds , the basis of which is too fre quently some poisonous mineral sub stance , is a dangerous and silly usage plainly speaking , a barbarous custom , more honored in the breach than in the observance. Actors and actresses , whose faces arc exposed to a strong arti ficial light whilst they are on the stage , are compelled to use pigments in order to heighten their natural color , as well as to disguise their individuality , as the fraying goes , ' "beyond recognition , " They are , however , for the most part extremely careful not to apply anything but vegetable preparations to these portions tions of their epidermis which have to undergo superficial treatment in obedi ence to theatrical exigencies. Many ladies in private life , we regret to shy , are not so particular ; consequently they ruin their complexions and impair their health by "beautifying" themselves with cosmetics and powders , into the composition of which enter such dele terious matters as lead and zinc , bismuth and belladonna. Wo entertain all man ner of objections to beauty shows , too numerous to sot down in this place ; but. if the coining display in Paris should servo as a practical protest against the prevalent abuse of "maquillago , " wo shall unhesitatingly accord to it the expression of " . ' ' pression "mitigated disapproval. A Deluge of AVllcl Duclc. An immense flock of wild ducks alighted along Mahoning's crook in this town this morning , being bewild ered by the heavy snow storm , says a Punxsutawnoy special to the Pittsburg Dispatch. The crook was lined with sportsmen on each side for a distance of throe or four miles. Hundreds of ducks wore made to bite the dust. Twenty- live or thirty of the birds were caught alive. They would alight in the deep snow , and , being unable to nriso , were captured. One "man caught lifteon in this manner. Another follow gotllfty- two with a shotgun , and still another slow twelve with a revolver. Nearly every citizen of the town could bo soon this inornini' witli throe or four dead ducks in Ills hands. It would , perhaps , bo understating tno truth to bay that 1,00(1 ( dutiks were killed in the vicinity of Punxsutawnov this morning , and at the present time the slaughter is still going on with unabated vigor. The ducks are of several varieties. Ono wild geese was caught alive right in the center of the town. Doathof nn Old I'lrnte. A messenger from the Grand Isle , in the Gulf of Mexico , to-dfiy brought news of the death of Captain Rigio , a resident of the Island for many years , nnd who id credited with having been a member of thu famous gang of pirates who , under Iho command of Pierre and Jean Lalitto. depredated the Gulf Const from Texas to Florada , says a New Orlcandw dispatch to the Globe- Democrat. After the close of the career of the Lalittos Rigio became a slave trndor , and thus amassed a considerable amount of money with which ho pur chased the major portion of the island , con verting it in to a superb orange grove. Humor has always had it that largo sums of money derived by the f.nfHtcs from their raids were buried on the islands which sopnruto Uarataria Bay from the Gulf of Mexico , and Capt.ltigio is believed to have known the exact location of the treasure. While talk ative upon matters in general lie was mutu upon tills subject , nnd the bocrot , if ho really posseB&oil it , has died with him. HAYDEN nnos. Bpcolnl Prices foKBfamlny.

M any of Them Eaten by Street GntnlnR in Sandwiches. Mr. W. H. Ross , secretary to Harri son & Barber , horse slaughterers of London , told a Pall Mull Gazette re porter the pthcr day that they have seven slaughter-houses in the metro politan area , the largest being that in the York road , Camden Town. They slaughtered 25,000 horses uyeur. When a horse broke a limb or sustained other irremediable injury on the street the police at once communicated with their nearest depot. The company had fre quently been charged with cru elty in allowing maimed horses to lie about for hours before sending men to end their suf ferings. The truth was they were very' particular in this respect , and if such delays occurre d it was through no fault of theirs. Was horse flesh much used for foodV Yes , to a considerable extent , ho should say. Their charter did not allow of their selling horseflesh for food purposes , but there were such es tablishments in the city. He had him self oaten Horseflesh in Franco , and at the company's annual dinner it was served to the guests , some of whom de clared they would not have known it from beef , had they not been told. Fine fat horses were slaughtered every week , horses that were perfectly sound , ex cept for some accidental injury , and ho saw no reason why this flesh should not bo eaten. Ho had often soon street gamins buy a shco of dried horseflesh , place it between two bits of broad , and eat it as n sandwich ! Of course , most of the prepared horseflesh passed under the name of catsmeat , but it seemed in credible that the cats could consume It all. Every part of the horse was put to some use flesh , hide , hair , hoofs and bones. Now that ( and Mr. Iloss hold up a small vial of beautifully transparent oil ) was horsooll. , Ono.would scarcely think such oil as that could bo got from the horso. These othCr bottles con- teiinod oils of inferior.-quality. They ivero used for lubricating purposes and for soap-making. Mont .soaps , nowa days , contained horse grease. Armed with a cigar mnd an order from the secretary of the company , our reporter , says the Gazette , made his way to the premises in York road. The obliging manager said ithoj' had had only four horses in to-day. But about seven thousand eight ( hundred were slaughtered hero nnnurtlly. Most of animals were cab'bus or tram horses. The establishment turned out about twenty tons of horseflesh every week. They had forty-six dead and Twenty-one live horses in now. They contracted with the various cab , bus and tram com panies lor injured horses at thirty shil lings each , allvo or dead. Most of the live horses they got in were injured in- tornully by overwork or falling. A few were gene with congestion of the lunirs , The work of slaughtering wont on day and night , there b ° ln two gangs of men for that purpose. Hornes were killed nt night by thrco "knackers , " Fifteen horses were considered n good night's work. The sufferings of the poor brutes were soon at an end , ns they were rendered insensible by n blow from a heavy axe.

I am told of a well-known young lady hero who is confined to her room mid in much diuipor of losing her eyesight from the use of huir dyosnys thoLouls- villo Post. She was originally a lull , handsome brunette , but in the past year has undergone a complete metamorpho sis , so far as her hair is concerned , and until lately appeared ns a most pro nounced blonde. It is as well known as any fact can bo that these dyes not only very frequently cause the loss of sight , but of the mind , ana cases are frequent ly published of women having gone mad from the use of them. Notwithstanding this , a great number of the young women of Louisville nro to-day subject ing themselves to these terrors for no other reason than that they are dissat isfied with the hair nature has given them. And the worst of it is the custom is rapidly increasing and there is no tolling where it will end. Shopping on Horseback. The other sight , which struck mo as bcincr far from commonplace , savs a Washington letter to the Philadelphia Times , was that of four or live young ladies shopping in their riding Imbits. They were all lino-looking girls and their habits were well arid stylishly made ; nevertheless they were not more city or park riders , for the spattered condition of their habits showed that they had had a long ride through a muddy country. A mule attendant hold the horses of all as the latlics passed from store to store and gave their or ders for supplies to be scut home. Washington is bo accustomed to strange varieties os the genus homo that it takes something quite striking to attract a second glance ; nevertheless the fair girls I have mentioned drew many eyes in their direction. How thoroughly practical their proceeding was ! Every one knows how much better one can shop by personal inspection than in any other way , and instead of being hamp ered by the drawbacks which attend upon getting stores to a remote country homo these girls had jumped on their horses and ridden right into Washing ton's most fiifmiunablo shopping street to shop at headquarters. Virginia ladies did this very thing in Martha Washington's day , but Washington at that time was a struggling hamlet , not the wonderful crcam-of-cream places it now is. _ Only a Woman. in-flfci for The lice. Only a frail , delicate woman , hut she had faced l.ho world in a thirty-years war , and had been bulToted. jostled and beaten , only to renew the attaelc in the struggle for existence. How many of the hundreds of men and women who saw her pass daily along the street over dreamed that be neath the faded shawl beat a heart as bravo and true as any found on the field of Gettysburg or Shiloh. ' Men called her eccentric and odd , and women pronounced her a "peculiar person , " accompanying the remark with a shrug of the shoulders and a knowing smilo. Strange , is it not , how many volumes may bo contained in a simple shrug and a smile ? Many tin innocent porton has been made to suffer untold tortures , has bcon cast aside by friends and looked upon with disdain by those who owed ilium nothing but kindness and love , and finally in the darkness of night has ended the life , which God had given , by one umd plunge beneath the waters , which leave no trace of the agony which thev have stilled fprovor. Only a woman ! but many a pale face lighted up and many a dull eye grow brighter as that Blender , black-robed form crossed the threshold bringing morsels of comfort and sunshine into homes that knew little save sickness and want. And in the silent watches of the night when many a suffering mortal's lips grow pale with agony that quiet figure stole hero and there , ad ministering first a quieting potion , then a draught of water , and always a gentle touch and a kind word. Her life was spent among the poor and needy , but oven the children of the rich , forgetting the contempt for pov erty which fond parents had taught them at homo , learned to speak kindly , almost lovingly of the quiet woman whoso gentle hand had often raised thorn from the pavement where thov had fallen , and whoso low soft voice had often soothed their fancied troubles. Children meeting her on the street in- fatinctivoly came to her for comfort , nor did they come in vain. One glance into those culm blue eyes inspired trust and confidence at once , Only a woman ! but one day the hos pital received a dying patient , and soon tno tired hands were crossed over the pulseless breast and the weary feet rested from their wanderings. She had saved the life of a little child , hut the iron hoofs of the frightened horses had trampled out the life of ono whoso heartbeat boat only for others. For years she had como and gone among thorn a verita ble angel of mercy save for the weary years of the civil war , when many u dying soldier blcHsed with his last faint breath the sweet-voiced woman , who. while ministering to their wants , had sung to them of homo and mother. Whence she came HOMO could tell , and none felt that it would bo right to in- qulro. Sufllciont was it that her pres ence brought sunshine and joy to all alike. Who was fahoV God ulono knows. She died twenty years ago in the city of Now York. She died unknown , hut not uncarod for. Kind hands wiped the death damp from her brow and children of ixjvorty followed weeping to the grave. _ A Smart Tcxnw "Cow-Woman. " So much has been written recently about the exploits of Hello Starr and other during women on the western ranches that U is only fair to buy a Word about the most famous "cow- woman" of Texas , writes n Willow City ( Tox. ) correspondent of tjio Now York World. She IB Mrs. Mary 0. Evans , the sister of Buck Tavlor , known through Buffalo Bill's Wild West show ns "Icing of the cowboys. " She inada her appearance hero twenty-four years ago , wnon this was a frontier county. At that tlmo the Indians were making raids ovcry month , killing and scalp ing the early settlers and driving off their stock. The Taylor children , Hax and Buck , lost their parents at an early ago , and Mary was raised by her aunt , Mrs. Ivos. Inured to the hard ships of frontier life she soon learned to take ctu'o of herself , and and at the ago of fifteen was able to ride the worst bronco or rope the most refractory old cow in the country. At the ago of sixteen Miss Mary mar ried T. A. Evans and moved on to the ranch of William tSholton , on Grab Apple creek. She ' took ohargo of eighty cows , milking 'thirly-flvo daily , and doing her housework at the same tlmo. She often had to climb the fence to eave herself from the horns of some wild cow. but she always managed finally to got her rope upon the animal and bring her to terms. Buck Taylor , king of the cowboys , has nothing to boast of above his sister as an export with the rope. She never ropes on horseback , although she is a fine rider. She is the oldest of the three Taylor children , is thirty-five years old and scarcely loous thirty , al though the mother of nine children. If the horses are out of the way she thinks nothing of walking live miles to this place for any supplies she may need. She can tlirow the tie mark and brand a yearling without help , and keeps an oyc on the stock , which loaves time to her husband to look after the farm. The Evans ranch and farm is about live miles from this place , and a hearty wel come always awaits a stranger there. "Yours Truly. " There is a mania among fashionable women for finding words or phrases with which to precede the signatures to their letters , says April "Table Talk. " The generality of women use "Yours truly ; " a lessor number , "Sin cerely yours ; " and a few more , "As over1 or "Cordially. " It is interest ing to learn that Mrs. Cleveland and Amelia Uivcs both conclude their pri vate correspondence with the brief "Cordially. * > A hen and chicks in a garden some times prove beneficial , us they destroy many inserts , hut they should bo kept away from plots that have been recently seeded.
