A Man of ElsblT'l''lvc Iran Wha Now l/OolM Like a Man orForlyâ€" He Experts to Live Haay Irani Vet. John Adams of the village of Tucker. Kankakee county, III., after a life ex- ceeding by a number of years the three- score years and ten allotted by the PsaJmUt as the limit uf man's age, has become young again. The search for the elixir of life has occupied the attention of more than one man since Ponce de Leon invaded the flowery fastnesses of Florida in the hope uf finding a fountain whose wa- ters would restore his lost youth, but never before has there gone on record the case of one who, after reaching an advanced ag», has received the bless- ing uf youth renewed. A short time ago John Adiuns had all the appearance and all the peculiarities of a man whose life race has been almost run. He had a right to the evidence of age, for he was 85 years old. Now the casual ol>- server and even those who have known him for years and have watched him groiw from luojihoud to old age may be pardoned If at time^ they mistake him for a man much younger than ho is. John Adams of a few months ago and John Adams of to-day are different persons. One is a man oowed beneath the weight of years. He is liald, except for a fringe of gray hair, toothless, and time has su dimmed his eyes that he is alo^^ost blind. That is the John Ad- aaus tliat was. To-day his bead is cov- ered with a growth of dark-brown hair and his eyes are bright and uiear, and he has cut several teeth. How the change has lieen brought. al>out no man can say. So far as is known and according to his own stale- ment, Mr. Adams has done nothing to i-enew his youth. It setKUis A HEVOLl' OF NATURE, against the laws of time which en- force a decay of the liodily forces and a revivification of a nearly worn-uut body. At first glance Mr. Adams looks like a man no moi°e than 40 years of age. Cases have been reported in which a set of teeth have appeared in per- sons uf an advanced age after those whix;h have served theui through life have dropped out. But it is doubtCut whether ever t)eforo the entire appear- ance of an agfxl person has lieen chang- ed lioi^'k to that of youih. Indeed, the case of Mr. Adams apiH'urs to be unique. As yet the change is incomplete. IXirfc hair has repilaw.<l the gray lot^ks which had fallen >Hit, new teeth have taken the place of those worn away by sev- enty years of use, and sight has re- turned to him. But bis skin is still wrinkled and has the parcJi|Uient-like appearance whicu coimos with age, and his mustiu'he and Ixsard, which had be- ^lui to turn gray, show no signs of renewing their color. Still Sir. Adams believes tluit the rejuvenation which has begun will be fully carried out. H» zxi)ects to see hui skin eithei' replaced by new or fill- ed out lind the wrinkles smoothed away. A'here the renewal (kt youth wllJ. stop he doiea not atteonpt to say, iiut he lieJieves that In a great meas- ure, at least, his former powers have l)e«m restored, and he is cxmfident that under the stlinuHus so unexpecteilly given his faculties he will live many years past the common age of man. To a certain extent, though just why Is hardily clear, Mr. Adams is teuiT-ted to lay the rctuj'n of his youth to i^iiu munpA^r of life which he has fodilowed of late years. He has always been reiU\arkfiUl,y regular In bis hab- its, and temperate in all things, even to abstepuou/jness. He drinks no tea. coffee, nor alcoholic stimulants, and, indeed, has haidly tasted any of these in his life, iln spite of his age tie is : f • TALL AND STRAIGHT, with no stoop, scari!ely a slope to his shoulders, and weighs 198 pounds. But, the fact to which he attribules the greater part of his rejuvenation is that tor the last ten years he has been ac- cuatooned to rise at 5.30 o'clock every morning, rain or shine, summer or win- ter, and walk a distance of two miles to the house ot his son for breakfast. Just how much this has to do with the return of his yo'uth Mr. Adams cannot say, Iwit th^t It has had a decided in- fluence he IS fully convinced. He has never surrendered to the attacks of time ; he has never given up and ad- mitted that he is an odd man. Instead of seeking sheltered nooks and sunny corners when It tecame apparent to hiiu that the wear of his years was hav- ing its effect upon him, he has been up every morning at the fixed hour and taken his daily walk before break- fast. The effect of Mr. Adam's rejuvenation upou his neighl)ors is various. More than one tjelieves firmly that the old man has discovered that Wonderful; fluid so long sought by the old alche- mists and by the credulous of all ages which is supposed to have the power of making the old yoimg. Others look upon the affair as a latter-day miracle and consiiler the aid gentleman espec- ially favored by a divine power â€" per- haps for no apparent purpose ; perhaps, liecause some great work is reserved for him. The majority, however, re- gard the matter as simply a freak of nature, as it proliably is; a renewal of youth throTigh some strange rebellion of life against time. Certainly, whatever may be the cause, the case is strange enough to c.vcite comment, and it has had the effect of not only raising the interest of the citizens of Tucker to a high point, but of bringing out mure than one seeker into the manner of life and the habits of Mr. Adams, believing that perhaps he has unknowingly happeuecf upon some secret by which youth may be re- called and life measurably prolonged, and hopeful of discovering what that secret is. TO MAKE BEAUTY. A new proceed bos been added to the various stages of the society woman's morning toilet. After her bath andl her massage and her hair shampoo, her complexion must be further improved by the use of the vaporiser. This is a miniature reproduction of the Rus- sian bath, so acceptable to women In general, and it was tiberefore not a difficult matter to persuade women tihat the new fashion of spraying the face was an agreeable and delightful one. Aithougb to the ajua,teur this experience seems only one degree less abrupt and astonishing than con- tact witti the Kua'don hose or a wa- tering cart, it is said that further ac- quaintance robs the vaporiser of its startling effects The apiKiraAus requiired reoembles a 5 o'clock tea, and is very oriiamentaU, bo the fine lady's boudoir. Not the most astute visitor would be able to guess its purpose. A tiny alcohol lam'p is set iin a brass atandard, A closed pan or kettle is placed just above the Iami>, the steam lieLng aillowed to e«<cape by a slender tube whii'h projects horizon- tally. The gloss beaker suspended at the end uf the tube is merely for the purpose of catching the drops of wa- ter which fall from the spra(yor which is so arraaiged that a regular and unintermittent sprivy sIvlII play upou the face uf the victim. After the water has become hot, and the spraying process is in order, my lady seats heitmlC in front of tne va- poriser for the fifteen-minute bath. For the next quarter of an hour the bot spray plays upon her face continually, and even though she knows iit is tak- ing every trace of curl fruon her from hair, she aubmiits for the saJke of the radiant complexion which she imag- ines will resuliti. She doeis not even envelop herself in rubber, liecause she fancit's that hex neck and arms will benefit by the hot spray likewise. It is ju'rhaps strange that after a treatment o£ Ibis sort, ptirticularly when a little aP some slightly oi'idlc solution has been added to the water, the surface of the fcico dmis not resem- ble a boiled cabbage leafi. It is claim- ed, however, that the comiplelxion 'is given a soifltneBa and freshness not otherwise obtained; that the cheeks are rosier, the eyes brightetr and the skin firmer after the morning shower. Some cooling lotion should be applied imme- diately afterwards for the puriKise of closing the pores and reducing the tem- perature of the face. Whatever beauty tranaformationa the new boudoir bath miiy accomplish, its success as a fad is already assured/i Every New York womian who pretend.s to keep up to date irv this excwedin^Ly important subject Is now equipped wit h a vaporiser, and submits daily to the last new ite*n> iin her own particular course of beauty treatment. The steamed face is become the mark of up- to-dateness. ' PRINCESS LOVES DOGS. One of the most enthusiastic dog lov- ers in all England is hier Royal High- ness the Princess of Wales, among whose canine pets are treasures the finest owned by any woman in the United Kingdom. Not a dog fancier or breeder in Europe, but knows of hter interest in thteae pets, her knowledge of the animal's good points, and her splendidly-appointed kennels, and at in- tervals she receives from some famous stud a particularly hhndsomo puppy. In the last dog show this was successfully dem""?t-T\ted when the Princess show- ed a handsome new Russian hound, a Borzoi, and carried oft an arm load of prizes. The beautiful creature, belong- ing to the Imperial family of wolf- hounds, of which the Emperor of Russia possesses thie noblest specimens, was sent to the Princess twxi years ago by a Russian dog fancier of note, and since the stately Alix, in his rough white and fawn-colored coat, carried off the first honors every fashionable woman in England has purohased or bid for a Borzoi puppy. LABOR LAWK A imU ONI IT IS AN ONNEIGHBORLY AND PER* mCIOUS SCHEME. A Philadelpkla Paper Syeaks yialBly Abuat the United States Ailea Labanp Law LegiHlatlun. In order to obstruct Intercourse be- tween the United States and Canad* this pernicious scheme of Nativism pro- vides that no person of foreign birtlt who has not previously made a declar- ation of his Intention to become a citi- zen before some Court of Record shall come "regularly or habitually" Into this land "for the purpose of engaging In any mechanical trade or manual la- bour" aind "returning from time to time to a foreign country." Nor .shall any such person "be employed upon any public works in* the United States." From this dra^ic provision are except- ed women, and also sailors, railroad train hands, such as conductors, engi- neers, brakemen, firemen or baggage men, "whose duties require them to pass over the frontier to reach the ter- mini of their runs." Senators Lodga and Chandler found thenaselves una- ble to frame a statute to arrest ral^ road engineers and firemen at tha Canadian line and put native Amer- icans in charge of the trains on thi* side of the border, and so they gava it iu>. WOE BE TO HIM. But woe to the wight who should ccmie over the line from Canada in the morning to work in Detroit, To- ledo, Oswego, Plattsburg, or soma other border town and go back in tha evening! The guilty wretch so offend- ing habitually would be liable to pun- ishment for misdemeanor by a fina of 9500 or by imprisonment for a term, not exceeding one year, or both. Any citizen, partnership, company oa corporation of the United States who should give employment to such wretch passing to and fro across the Ima would be subject to the same penaltiaa. It would become necesaary for every employer of labor to require all workingmen who mhe might wish to engage to exhibit proof of their na- tive birth or certificates of their in- tention to become citizens of the lUnit- ed States. A neglect of this precau- tion would be apt to maike him bar- bie to heavy fine and imprisonment. We know of no legislation so deaj picable as this since the passage ol the Fugitive Slave law. That law wa^ designed to better enforce a provision of the Constitution requiring the d«* livery of fugitives from labour. BUt it was so mean and so atrocious in ita premises making crimes of acts inno- cent and humane in themselves, thai the moral sense of the country revolt- ed against it, and the Governimeot waa powerless to enforce it. THE MEANNESS OF IT. This Immigration bill attempts to make a crime out of the right of loco- motion and of the equally sacred right of earning a living Ijy the sweat pf the brow. The Fugitive Slave law de- nounced heavy penalties, against any person, who. in obedience to the dio- tates of humanity, should give food to a fugitive or refuse to deliver hun u» to his owner. The Immigration 1)111 would subject to like fine and impria- onmeut any citizen of the United States who should employ a Canadiatt or a Mexican crossing the border to and fro in pursuit of his daily vocation. Meaner than the Fugitive .Slave law, this bill would violate the simplest rites of hospitality and the observanoa of good neighbourhood. The Governr meuts of Canada and of Mexico could readily retaliate by pursuing as crun- inals citizens of the United States who should cross backward and forward to chop wood in Canadian forests or to herd cattle on the Mexican plains. Hut those Governments are too en- lightened to underestimate the mutual advantages of good neighbourhood and of the exchange of services. This Im- migration bill, so far from expressing the sentiments of the American peo>- pie is a mere manifestation of the worst spirit of nativbm, to which tha Republicans in Congress are constrain- ed to pay a reluctant homage.â€" Phila- delphia Record.

A story cottnes from India about a "spoTtsiuan" who hunts tigers by the elu'ctric light at night. He sits on a raised platfornu in the jungle, and sus- pends a fifty candle-power incandescent lamp over the liait, which 'is placed anout 30 feet >away. Batteries supply current for the lighi, and a switch near the hunter's hand enables him to throw on the light when ho is ready to shoot. The bright glare temporarily blinds the tiger, and a ^food shot can lie had be- fore he has time to get away. AN ELABORATE COW STABLE.
