“ LAMING” is THE LATEST FAD.
M ilk, Sun-bathed Air and Happy Thoughts
,Used in Combination.
Glaming is the latest occupation of
_ Women who devote themselves to the
pursuit of health and beauty, says the
New York Sunday Journal. Glame is
a raw word, which represents the chief
object of these disciples of physical cul-
ture} Those who seek it are said to
be glaming, and are denominated glam-
crs.
Some of the essential rules of glam-_
ing may be briefly stated for the bene-
fit of inquirers. They are:
To drink milk fresh from the cow at
a temperature of ninety-eight degrees.
To inflate the lungs at regular inter-
vals. close the eyes and let the mind
dwell on one of the pleasantest pros-
pects in life. To repose at regular pe-
riods during the day in air which has
recently been in motion and on which
the sun has shone. To have the skin
kneaded daily with sweet oil. Glam-
ing. it is claimed, retards indefinitely
wrinkles, gray hair and all the other
signs of old age; beautifies the com~
plexion, gives the eye wonderful pow-
,ers of fascination, keeps. the figure
youthful and elastic,“ and preserves the
powers of the mind. -
The aim of the glamer’s diet is to
prevent the ossification produced by
the deposit of calcareous or mineral
matter in the heart, brain and arteries.
This deposit is the cause of old age.
Physiologically one may become told
at thirty as well as at sixty.
To guardagainstthis ossification, it is
necessary to prevent or dissolve the os-
Iseons deposits. One or two pints of
distilled water daily are of great bene-
fit. The diet should include apples,
pears, grapes, orange juice, cherries,
plums, peaches and berries.
As animal food, fish, poultry and
young mutton are recommended, be-
cause they contain less earthly salts
than other meats. Phosphorous is nec-
essary for the nourishment of the
brain, and this is to be found in lean
meats, fish, cheese, whole wheat, oat-
meal, almond nuts, white cornmeal,
beans, peas. figs and prunes.
As glame in the system becomes
more abundant the pulse will-become
firmer, the skin take on ti healthier
hue, the eye grow brighter, the step
more elastic and day by day life will
be better worth living.
Glame enters the body with the oxy-
gen we breathe and passes out with
very exhalation. The following rule of
glaming is intended for the benefit of
the lungs:
Sit or stand perfectly still in some
place where the air is in motion, or has
been recently. and upon which the sun
has shone. It it not necessary to sit
in the sun. Fill the, lungs to their ut-
most capacity and hold the breath long
enough to count three or more. VThe
time should be about three seconds.
Let the breath es: ape very slowly. Re-
peat by drawing in the breath very
gradually and hold for five seconds.
Always inhale through the nose if pos-
sible. ,«
This is the first of four rules. The
next directs the glamer to take a gen-
tle breath very calmly. When the
lungs are easily full, but not crowded,
she closes the hand so tightly that the
most delicate pressure is .felt. Then
she is to think of the happiest prospect
possible. A flutter of ectasy will be
so plainly’felt that its presence will
teem with vitality. '
H att-lies are Small.
Watches are worn smaller than ever,
and although an effort was made last
season to revive the watch chain. the
effort met with no response. for
watt-hrs are still fastened to the bod-
ice with a jewelled brooch, and tie
chatelainc proudly holds its own. In
Paris and New York the latest fad is
to have a watch in the form of a ball.
thickly encrusted with emeralds ‘ or
cnamelled with glistening green.
Another watch. in fashion of a beetle,
has a body of dull gold shining with
gems. You tout-h a spring and the
wings open as if to fly, disclosing a
peep of the time o‘day. Among other
items of new jewelry are the Russian
girdles and belts of white or colored
enamels. tricked out with gems either
false or real, according to the price one
‘ can afford. '
About “Wilding Rings.
The associations called up by a wed-
ding-ring are very touching, and it is
the last thing that even the poorest
wife will part with. If it ever was
considered a bat go of servitude, it now
is much more suggestive of ’queenship
and sovereignty. An old Latin writer
thus describes the ring: It is circular,
because the mutual love and hearty
affection of matrimony should be for
ever, their continuity remaining as
unbroken as the circlet itself. It is an
old—and, exploded—notion that the
ring is placed upon the fourth finger
because a small artery connects with
the heart. The real reasOn probably is -
that the left hand is not used as much
as the-‘right,land the fourh finger less
than the other fingers.
Reflections of aBachclor.
Some girls can’t talk to you an hour
'Without asking you if you don’t think
it’s so silly to be romantic.
If a woman knew when she would
fall out of a window and catch by her
heels, I wonder what kind of clothes
she would put on;
A girl will tell you you may call her
' by her first name with the same tone
she would use if she were giving you
a set of diamond shirt buttons.——Ncw

FOR EVENING WEAR. ,
Particularly Proper and : Pleasing Cos-
t'umes for State Occasions.
( By Special Arrangement with the N. Y. Sun.)
Evening gowns of all kinds are in
great demand at this time of year, and
a pretty dress for a young girl is of
white figured taffeta tucked round the
hips below a band of cream lace in-
sertion from which the skirt is hung.
the low bodice of cream lace over rose-
colored silk has a tucked silk waist‘
band which crosses in front, and the
sleeves are a puff of silk with frills of
silk and lace falling over them.
Sleeves in evening dresses are short,
yet they are much more than mere sug.
gestions, and the long-sleeved evening
gown appears very often among the
latest fashions. The one illustrated.
is of flounced pink silk, tucked on the
hips, giving a panel effect in front.
The bodice is of spotted pink chiflon,
trimmed at the neck and' belt with
icwelled trimming, and the sleeves are
a. puff of chiffon, with a lace frill fall-
ing over and a long transparent sleeve
3f the lace below. The persistent lit-
:le figa r0 shows itself again on the next
gown of yellow moire, and it is em-
broidered with applique lace and
pearls. The bodice underneath is of
yellow velvet, with a lace bertha fall-
ing in front, and the sleeves are of vel-
vet and lace. Black evening gowns
are, perhaps, the most useful dresses
of all, and black tulle with rows of
tulle plaitings' on the skirt makes an
effective covering for the old black
satin dress. Three shades of .flame-
2olored ribbon form the wide belt, and
:1 loose spray of nasturtiums is ar.
ranged on one shoulder. Black _rc-
lieved by a color is always a striking
drcss, and by changing the belt and
flowers it furnishes variety. Black
moires with floral waterings are very
much worn by matrons. and they [are
made with the old-fashioned printed
bodices, and trimmed with lace and
ieWelled embroidery. Velvet as a. trim.
ming is a decided feature of all the
wool gowns and a brown velvet over,
another of cream lace, and brown vel~
vet epaulcttes over the sleeves. Three
rows of velvet trim the skirt, and
bands of velvet with a‘jct edging fin.
ish the bodice. One of the novelties
'in skirts shows a deep flounce headed
by three bands of fur, which appears
again on the cloth bolero. A vest of
velvet finished on the edge with small
buttons opens over another one of lace
tied in a cravat at the neck. Plaid vel-
vet with a black cloth bodice and white
chiffon vest is the next combination.
with velvet tabs lined with scarlet
silk falling over the hands. A simple
dress of brown cloth is trimmed on the
skirt with black velvet bands on eith-
er side of a band of white satin, with
gold Russian braid through the centre.
The bodice shows the same trimming
fastened with velvet bows and gold
buckles. Another pretty model for
renovating an old gown shows a waist
and sleeves of fancy silk, and a
braided and fur trimmed bolero to
match the sl-zizt.
Hi ~ Middle Name.
Cassius Marcellus Loomis, of Chica-'
”go, tells the Chicago Tribune how he
found out what his middle name and
that of Cassius M. Clay was. At his
birth he was named Cassius M., after
Clay. “But,” he says, “no one thought
to enquire what the letter ‘M’ stood
for in the name.” Time ran on for
some thirty-eight years, when the
newly born, ‘having inherited an in-
quisitive turn of mind, wrote Mr. Clay
, for the desired information. Mr. Clay
responded, sending his namesake a
photograph of himself and a friendly
note, in which, instead of stating di-
rectly what his middle name was, be
quoted two lines from Pope’s “Essay
on Man”:——
And more true joy Marcellus exiled
feels _
Than Caesar with a senate at his heels.
and al'ddedz—“you will find your name
in the above couplet.”
_ Consistency.
Irate Lodger (to young clergyman)—
See here, Mr. Londshont, I am tired of

your sermons through this thin parti-
tion. 5 ,

'Li Hung Chang’has lost his yellow
jacket again, thus strengthening our
solemn belief that if he wants to re-
tain permanently that precious Jar-
ment he will have to sleep in it. '
Every day brings freedom a’flr'mdon
pendence nearer to Cuba. Fornearly
two years Spain has tried to. put down
the rebellion in that island, and nothing
that she has done points to anything
but certain failure.-
It would be well for adventurous,
impulsive young Americans to remem-
ber that enlistment in the Cuban army
makes them liable to a fine of $1,00G
and three years’ imprisonment for vio-
lation of the neutrality laws.
No one need be in doubt nowadays
as to the proper method for getting up
an appetite. Even the most jaded ap-
petite can be coaxed to do marvelous
service if the patient submits himseli
to the unfailing test of a six-day bicy:
cle ride.
It is observed that President Cleve-
land, in his latest mcssage, uses the
singular verb after the United States.
while his distinguished Premier, Secre-
tary Olney, uses the plural. Neverthe.
less, there seems to be no imminent
danger of a Cabinet crisis betwixt now
and the 4th of March.
If Hon. Elijah Morse succeeds in his
effort to drive intoxicants from the
Capitol building the saloon keepers in
the immediate vicinity of that legisla-
tive institution can be depended upon
to give him a vote of thanks, but it will
require all of Tom Reed’s counting ac-
:omplishments to maintain a quorum
in the House. _ I
Since Dr. Jameson has been released
from prison on acount of ill-health, the
British Government seems to see no
reason for retaining his fellow-raiders,
and it is reported that they will all be
released before Christmas. Their sen-
tences were very light, to start with,
and now they are to be considerably
reduced. The proceeding shows what
the British Government really thinks
of the Jameson raid, and will not
strengthen the friendly relations 'be-
tween it and the Government of the
Transvaal.
The Illinois Central Railway’s plan,
by which its cmployes are encouraged
and aided in becoming stockholders,
is having all the success which it
promised and which it merits. Already
fifteen hundred engineers, conductors,
brakemen, yardmen and clerks are
owners of one. or more shares of the
stock. This plan will undoubtedly be
adopted by other great corporations,
and will in time form one of the most
favorable factors in the adjustment of
the labor question.
ll'e never have reports of lynch-
ings in Mexico, and perhaps the story
that comes from Mondova, in the State
of Coahuila. contains a reason why.
A short time ago a prominent resident
of that state was decoyed into the
mountains and there murdered by
some discharged employcs. \l'ithin a
month the assassins have been cap-
tured, four of them. executed and the
rest sentenced to long terms of im-
prisonment. Such promptness on the
part of jsticc takes away all induce-
ments to try cases in Judge Lynch’s
court.
Kansas, without woman suffrage, ap-
pears to bedoing more for the official
recognition of women than those
states where they have the ballot. At
the recent election twenty counties in
the state named chose women as su-
perintendents of public schools, and in
two towns all the local ofiices, includ-
ing those of Mayor and chief of po-
lice, were won by women candidates.
These results will be followed by the
introduction ‘of a. bill at the coming
session of the Legislature to submit a.
suffrage amendment to the people, and
present conditions warrant the belief
that such a measure would carry on
a popular vote. It must be admitted,
however, that in the matter of secur-
ing offices the women of Kansas are
doing wonderfully well under the pre-
sent arrangement.
In. the present state of our strained
relations with Spain it is unlikely that
Congress will refuse to make the ap-
propriation of $10,000,000 for coast dc-
fences and the reorganization of the
artillery branch of the army which Sec-
retary Lamont will. ask for in his an-
nual report. If Spain comes to her
senses and grants independence to Cu-
ba. the war cloud would lift. It would
be fatuous to hold that war "is im-
probable at this juncture. But'assum-
ing that there will be none, the experi- 4
ence we have had with Spain during
the hostilities in Cuba. should be a
p0Werful object lesson to thee milk-
and-water philosophers who have been
in the habit of pooh-poohing the possi-
bility of war, between the United
States and any other nation, and urg-
ing that as, we are at peace with all
the world and have had no war with a
foreign foe fpr fifty years we need no
navy, and coast defences would be
tesque and useless. , "

STRANGELY WARNED. . _., ,-
I‘he supernatural Visitor that Saved. no! i
from tlw‘Sting of a. Cobra. _
The following remarkable occur:
rence, an absolute fact, is related by a .‘
lady visiting friends in Hartford as it _ '
was told her by her cousin in Meerat
NorthWestern India. ’.
Her cousin, in whose house the oc-
currence took place, was seated at a
lighted table engaged in reading,
when, thinking it about time to retire.
and happening to lift her eyes from
her book, she was astonished ’to see
seated in'a chair before her, and be ’
tween herself and the door to the
bathroom a man. a stranger to her»
who calmly regarded her.
It gradually dawned upon her that
the figure was probably not that of a,
person of real flesh and blood, but a
vision from the unseen world of life-
She remembered having once, as a
child, seen a. similar figure, under cir-
cumstances which seemed to preclude
the idea that it was any person still
,in the body. Concluding that this new
visitor was not a. person of flesh and
blood, she sat silently gazing at the si-'
lent Object, while the intruder, who
ever or whatever he was, sat also in ,
silence, steadily regarding her. Just
how long this state of things lasted
: thetlady did not accurately know, but
it was probably not very long when
the mysterious stranger began to van-
ish into a thinner and thinner personal
presence, until in a moment or two he
had vanished quite away.
It was the lady’s hour for her even-
ing bath. but she thought she would
first let out her two pet dogs from
their confinement in another room.
They came barking furiously and run«
ning directly toward the bathroom.
There, through the open door, the lady
was horrified to see on the floor a
monstrous cobra—the snake whose bite
is certain and speedy death. Spring-
ing forward to save her dogs, she
quickly shut the door, but not so in-
stantaneously as to prevent her seeing
the reptile turning and escaping down
through a hole in the floor where the
drain pipes of bathtub and washbowl
went, a hole which had been careless— .
ly left larger than was necessary.
If she had gone directly to the bath-
room, as she would have done but for
the intervention of her mysterious vis-
itant, her life would undoubtedy have
been sacrificed in the act.

Fine Cedar for Best Cigars. . _
“The ’spicy odor that you notice in
the cigar box,” said the tobacconist,
f‘comes from the wood of which it is
made. It is not because it is impreg-
nated with the tobacco. 0n the con-
trary, the tobacco takes the flavor of
the ”wood. That is the reason that a
particular wood is used for the boxes
of all the best cigars. It is Spanish
cedar. It is an expensive wood, por-
ous and spicy, and the only kind
which has been found to improve the
flavor of the cigar. Tobacco, as you
know, quickly absorbs any odor with
which it is brought in contact. Cigars
packed in a cardboard box, or one
made of deal, would soon become
very unpleasant to the taste.”
