been rubbed off, the arms and the shoui
ders are covered with cold cream, which
is allowed to remain on fifteen minutes.
This is then rubbed off with a niece of
fine, soft white flai.nel, and the .arms and
shoulders are covered with “baby” pow

finishes the operation, When this is
completed they look like polished mar¬

Fashion Notes*
Jeweled pins are all the rage.
Pink is not as fashionable as was pre¬
dicted.
Light colors and thin materials pre¬
dominate.
Plush fans covered with lace are count¬
ed with novelties.
Old fashioned carved rosewood furni¬
ture has been revived.
Costumes of crepe or crepon are much

or raised flower patterns.
trimmed Many evening with dresses are elaborately
pearl beads, put on in
bands, and used as embroidery.
Curled bangs are coming m again.
They are worn with the hair arranged in
a twist on the top of the head.
Canary color and brown, and string
color and moss green, are among the
leading combinations of the season.
Collars for street dresses remain high
and close, in military style, but sleeves
are more trimmed than formerly.
Cambric is now a favorite material for
underwear. It is finer and lighter than
muslin and makes up more handsomely.
Waistcoats, vests and plastrons are
important features of costumes, regard¬
less of material or general style, and
their forms are manifold and intricate.
For elderly ladies there is a styi.'sh
dress consisting of ulaits of rich black
ottoman silk at the buck, and long
draperies of black lace slightly gathered
up over a colored satin petticoat in
front.

eral use as is one
which interests shell and precious stone
dealers. The Chinese judge their gen
tlemen as Americans do their idlers—by
their long finger nails. A reporter has
seen among the heirlooms of a heavy
weight merchant in Chinatown a nail
which attained the great length of thir¬
teen iuches, and the Chinaman’s grand
father was reported by the merchant to
have raised one eighteen inches long on
the index finger of h:s left ha ml. ihe
merchant at that time said there was
nothing wonderful about that, as he
knew a Chinese priest who had a nail on
the little finger of his left hand which
was sixteen feet and some inches in
length, and the priest was then but sixty
eight years of age.—San Francisco Report.
“THAT THEY CROSS HcLHiivillc AT THEIR PERIL.**
{From Banner.)
All Nashville people are by this time fa¬
miliar with the warning “notice” on the old
bridge which crosses the Cumberland to East
Nashville. It reads:
* WARNING! *
-
This Bridge is Deemed Unsafe! :
All Persons are Warned that ;
they Cross at their Peril! :
......................................*
It does indeed seem a perilous proceeding
long to cross that bridge. The street cars have
ago been withdrawn from it, and it has
been left to pedestrians and to such vehicles
and animals as are taken by their owners
across the risky passage. Its curves are very
peculiar; and it has a shackling and sham¬
bling appearance, as if it might be trying to
make up its mind whether to fall to pieces now
or to wait till the completion of the new struc¬
ture which is to take its place. A policeman
on duty recently remarked to one of our cor¬
respondents who risked his life in walking
across this venerable bridge, U been 1 Taint’ for no
more dangerous now than it has a
good while.”
What the matter with the bridge is, that it
is “weak in the back,” just as a great many
doing weary duty and worn-out long without people are. refreshment It has been
so or
bracing up, that it feels as if it were about
to die. It has a discouraged look, as if sorry
its time for dissolution has not yet come.
Well, as everybody knows, the work on the
new bridge is progressing briskly, and be¬
fore a great while the old one “must go.” To
build a new bridge to take the place of an old
one is a work which the builders and en¬
gineers perfectly understand. To repair the
worn-cut human system when it is “weak in
the back” and debilitated and dilapidated, is
a work requiring a different kind of skill, and
different ways of Hindoos, proceeding. become
Among the when people likely
so “weak in the back” that they seem
to be of no further use, their relations take
them to the banks of the river Ganges, stuff
their mouths with mud, and let them die.
We can do better in this country. We restore
such people by a well-known and very popu¬
lar something which is put into their mouths
for the purpose of renewing their wasted
strength and of bringing them to new health
and vigor. It does its work, too, and their
lives are prolonged for further usefulness.
Among many of the Nashville gathering people on
whom our correspondent called, in
information as to the building up of the weary
and the renewing of those who were suffer¬
ing from the weakness produced by the over¬ well
work, was Mr. B. J. Farrar, of
known real estate firm of Airington, Farrar
& Weakly, 8 5}4 North College street. Mr.
Farrar was at his desk, old busy dyspepsia as a bee. of
“How about that yours,
Mr. Farrar—indigestion, debility, and all
that sort of thing? No, surely they must be
some mistake; you look well and hearty.
Was “It it yourself?” indeed,” said Mr. Farrar. “I
was, was
troubled with indigestion, dyspepsia and gen¬
eral debility. I was not exactly laid aside
from work, for I dragged myself to my duty
with a constant feeling of weariness and of
good-for-nothingness. I was also greatly
vexed with costiveness, much of which prob¬
ably arose from my sedentary habits. You
want to know how I got well. I answer that
half a dozen bottles of Brown’s Iron Bitters
did the work for me. A year ago last sum¬
mer, when 1 was very much run down, and
the heat of the weather had contributed its
share toward reducing me, I began taking
this tonic, which was recommended by my
sister, who lives in Fluvanna county, Vir¬
ginia. She and several other relations had
used it with remarkably good effect. The
effect on me proved quite as good as it grad¬ had
been on them. It built up my system,
ually, but surely. It gave me such strength It
as I had not for a long time enjoyed. functions re¬
moved the costiveness and made the
of the digestive organs natural and regu
lar.
“I was so well pleased with what Brown’s
Iron Bitters did for me that I tried it on my
little daughter, who had for some time been
poorly. Her system needed building up. She
had lost flesh and strength, and was much
run down. On taking the medicine she soon
began to gain. It did for her all I could ex¬
pect. “I hare spoken of this Bitters to
many
friends, and I believe it has done them good.
It is a very superior tonic.”
Perhaps it may be delightful to some peo
i ar iy m prospect of tumbling “deemed to pieces, un-afe.” like

Mr. P. H. Cason, Santafee, Fla., says: Two
bottles of Brown’s Iron Bitters cured me of
neuralgia, from which I suffered for six
years. Miss Mamie G. Erson, Union, S. C.,
says:
For a long time I suffered from general debil¬

the high road to health again.
