\ 1’aliet Girl’s Preparation.
The process of preparing a French ballet
girl for her debut has been divulged by of a
lady who is a professor of the art
kalsomining, as it may be termed. The
danseuse, who is about to fair© sun mastic,
sits before her looking glass, and and over
face, arms, neck, shoulders bosom she
spreads a coat of liquid white, which dries
and forms a sort of varnish. This first
coat she greases with a little cold cream
and perfumes it with a dash of poudre do
riz. Then she touches up her cheeks with
vermilion, heightens the red of her lips
with carmine, magnifies the contour of
the eyes with kohl, paints her eyebrows
with Indian ink, picks out a few veins,
and the mastic is complete. This opera¬
tion requires at least half an hour. Next
the dancer draws on her silk tights, and
next she dons her underskirt; then follows
the corsage, the five or ten gauze skirts,
or whatever more or less succinct costume
may be worn, and finally the bracelets,
earrings, and miscellaneous jewelry which
these young ladies will insist on wearing.
Thus equipped she bounces on to the
stage, smiling, fresh and gay, and flitting
with easy grace through her pas, ap¬
plauded by the admiring audience. turned But
the moment that her back is to the
public the smile vanishes, her face be¬
comes serious, her features are grimacing
and drawn with fatigue, and as she passes
us we see that she is panting for breath
and bathed in perspiration. And by the
time she has finished dancing she will bo
so worn out that she will scarcely have
strength enough left to crawl upstairs to
her dressing room, where she will need to
bo rubbed down and tended like an over¬
taxed racehorse.—Home Journal.
Whistliii" Jugs of Peru.
The silvadors or musical jugs found
among the burial places of Peru are most
ingenious specimens of handiwork. A
silvio in the- William S. Vaux collection
of Philadelphia consists of two vases,
whose bodies are joined one to the other
with a hole or opening between them.
Tho neck of one of these vases is closed,
with the exception of a small opening in
which a clay pipe is inserted leading to
the body of a whistle. When necked a liquid the i3
poured into the open vase,
air is compressed in the other, and, escap¬
ing through the narrow opening, is forced
into tho whistle, the vibrations producing
sounds.
Many of these sounds represent the
notes of birds; one in the Clay collection
of Philadelphia imitates the notes of tho
robin or some other member of the
thrush tribe peculiar to Peru. The closed
neck of this double vase is modeled into
a representation of a bird’s head, which is
thrushlike in character. Another water
vase in the same collection representing a
llama, imitates the disgusting habit which
this animal possesses of ejecting its
saliva when enraged. The hissing sound
which accompanies this action is admir¬
ably imitated. A blagk tube of earthen¬
ware, ornamented with a grotesque head
in low relief, to which short arms are at¬
tached, pressU^r a three tubed syrinx to
its lips (Clay collection), deserves especial
mention, as it suggests the evolution of
this instrument from a single tube to
more complicated forms.—Swiss Cross,

A Chicago man is lecturing Darwin. on a theory
of evolution that annihilates He
believes that man is a development from
plants through the brute kind. The
