A BEAUTY FAC [UK Y.
New York Letter in the Chicago Inter-Oecan.
My conversation with the proprie
tress of the “beautifying establi-b-
raeni” was interrupted by a lady ot
uncertain age and pimpled skin, who
remarked that, having arrived at the
cuncluiiun that it was a woman’s duty
to make the most ot her looks, she
had oomo to madams for assiotaiue.
“That’s right,” said the ma-lame.
cheerily. “I can make you so good
looking your own husband won’t
know you.” The lady’* expression
grew a trifle dubious at this, but the
{ iroiessor began: “First, you must
earn to smile frequently; I notice
your thee is naturally grave. There
is nothing men like eo much as a
smile, especially w hen it comes from
a pretty mouth, aud a mere soupeon
ot my lip-dew will make yours fresh
and red, and by rubbing a little extra
on tile middle ot the lip you can ob
tain a positively voluptuous effect.”
“But my complexion?’’ Interrupted
the visitor anxiously. “Oil, I can fix
all that. Just let me ehow you,”
and ilhe seated the lady in front ot s
mirror, whipped out a piece of
chamois skin, dipped it iu a creamy
liquid and polished off the lady’s
face, then she powdered it. well,
rubbed tome rouge on the faded
cheeks, tinted the lips, penciled the
brows and, presto! there was auoihur
woman.
Ou the stage she would have looked

Washington correspondent, lms occu
pied that pot*t for several year*. He is
a tall, powerful man, who haa an espe
cial eye on insane callers. Very few of
the insane ever get by him. The most
violent lunatic that has called at the
White House since Gen. Garfield’s inau
guration came up to the door one morn
ing iu April. He was a tall, sauare-
shouldered man. He was dressed in a
dark suit, and wore an apple-green tie.
He rang the bell at the door with a vio
lent jerk. The sergeant appeared and
asked: “ What do you want f*
“I would like to be shown to my
room at once/’ said the man.
“Butyou must be mistaken in the
place. This is not a hotel"
Ths caller swelled out his chest and
•aid: “Take care how you talk to me.
I am the real President. Garfield's
name was put upon the ticket merely as
a cover for mine, aa I wished to avoid
the unpleasant notoriety attendant upon
a canvass. I hfve come here to demand
my seat, and I want you to be lively
about it, too."
“ But where are your papers ?"
The lunatic produoed a bundle of pa
pers, showing that he had been dis
charged from both the regular infantry
and artillery service. The man was so
violent that the sergeant stepped up
dose to him to be ready if he should at
tempt to draw a weapon. The claimant
placed a hand quickly in liis breast
pocket, but. instead of drawing an ex
pected revolver or knife, he brought out
a huge roll of manuscript, which, un
rolling as it came out, stretched from
his upraised hand to his feet.
“Now," said he, “I will read you a
few brief points in my case.” “No,
youwon't,’ r said the sergeant. “Yon
