N THE HEIRESS. "I ilont llilrik hochr68 twontraws for mo," thought Klsio Atillcr, pulling tho withered roses out of her Imlr with fi lulek.limimtlent littlo icrk. "And ho used ti) bo so different. Oh, dear I talk nhoiit tlio ftcklcncflr of won, an. Men nro twenty times, as unaccountable. 1 hit 1 tic n't cave, ono jmrticlo.'' . And. in undeniable tiroof of her In difference, the round, hriclit (Irons rolled dowh hbr fresh, pink cheeks, and her lip quivered. JSlsio wits a pretty, piquant nttio laurel, with eyes as bliio as china mar bles, a aoinjilexion liko a damask roBe, and bright tendrils of Bilkcn hair, par taking decidedly of tho reddish liuo, greatly to our heroine's daily dissatis faction. "Nobody has red hair in all my nov els,'-' said -Elsie, almost ready to des pair-. Aunt midget iucrriam naa uroiigiit Elsio tin until she stood on the thresh old of lier seventeenth year brought her up in a kindly, old-fashioned sqrt of a way, to knit ami sow, and to inlike her own fresh littlo merino dresses, nnd stitch her own spotless linen collars. "I or there s no knowing what tribu lation a body may bavo to pass through in tlio world, Elsie,'' said tho old lady solemnly; ''and it's always just ns well to be able to turn hand to almost any thing. I've lived sixty and seven years, and l'vo found out that Heaven helps those who helps themselves.' So Elsie unconsciously proved her self for a stormy future, brightening up wiiattver weapons nniuro nau given for that battle with the world whiijh Aunt Bridget appeared to consider almost inevitable. And when Aujit Bridget died suddenly; and she was luft alone, poor Elsio thought vaguely of dressmaking, school teaching, copying all tho make shifts by which women liOw-a-ihtys contrive to stave oit the wolf's footsteps from their doors. t his is a very unexpected stroke ot providence, Miss Miller," said Mr. Peck, the solemn f&ced lawyer. , "Yes, sir, indeed it is,! said Elsie, sadly, think how lonely tho house would be without Aunt lindget s bnik step, and aged, kindly face. Uut we must all to prepared to meet the dispensation of a higher ws UUUI lllilll UUIS, UU .kUUUU. 'Yes, air," said Elsio, wishing he would stop talking in tint sanctimon ious whine, and to'l her whether se had better accept the situation as teacher tu' thu district school, or go as governess to bqture .Ualton s six moth erless little girls. "And we, nonu ot us suspected lor an instant that our dear departed friend A'as .worth 'fifty thousand dollars. "Fifty thousand dollars I " .Elsie opened her china-blue eyes widely enough now. "Jixactlv that, sum, my dear Miss Miller and she has been been pleas ed to testifiv her confidence in my ha humble1 abilities, by constituting me your guardian until you reach the ag,1 of twenty ono yeais. Allow me hum to proffer my inot-t cordial congratu lations. How Mr. Peck wished his Freddy was twenty instead of ten years bf age 1 "For," lie inwardly reasoned, strok nig his lank, brisllv chin, "Mien sure to full a victim to some fortune hunter ,r other. And she's such a fool. JJut Air. reck was mistaken m that last estimate Elsie Miller was fool. r no Gervaiso (Jolton heard the story nf Miss Miller's good foitune in silence. "I am glad you told me," he said to his informant, Squire Dalton. "I was L'oing there this very evening, to ask Elsie if sho would accept a home ut tny hands." tJJo you mean marry, marry you j " uemauueu tno, struigutiorwuiu squire 1 l . 1 . r 1 ' "Uertauily ot course. "My dear boy, you couldn't do'i more sensible thing, lou ll nave tile i idlest wito and tho prettiest wite in. town, and 1 always thought that little Elsio fancied you. Go, by all means'." ".Never! said Uervaise, emphatic allv. Hallo !" cried the squire, dropping tho red silk handkerchief that he was nourishing about and storing fixedlv about at tho handsome young man op posito him. I would sooner cut my right hand oil than givo people- occasion to call mo a fortune-hunter, said (Jolton with quiet determination that made his mouth look liko iron, his words like adamant. "Gammon !" said tho squire, rather uncourteously ; "didn't you just tell mo you were about to proposo to her, uuder the impression that sho hadn't a penny in tho world 1" " es I told you so, and it was tho truth it would bo rather difficult to convince thu world in general of it." "(Jh, bother tho world in general I What do you caro for its verdict ono way or tho other t" lint (Jolton shook his head. "I have striven nil my lifo long to bo an honorablo gentleman, said he calmly "nor shall I allow tho shadow of a shado to dim my character now.

LATEST CIIAZK IK THK TONSOHIAI. LINK. THE "Yes," said a Monroe street barber, as he quickly tossed a blazing gas jet over tlio head of the customer, singeing the hair off as accurately as it could have been clipped by a pair of scis sors, "the latest crazo in the tonsorial art is the singeing process. Tho meth od usually adopted in large shops is to use a movable drop light. Iho comb is parsed through tlio hair, and the ends aro burned off by the ilamo of gas, which is turned down low. "What is the particular benefit claimed to bo derived from this pro cess?" 'It is claimed that it prevents tho hair from changing color, and restores to its original color faded and colorless hair, bo popular has the singeing pro cess becomo that every first class bar ber-shop is prepared to remove hair eithei by tlio scissors or by burning. It is claimed that in singeing tho hair the ends aro hermetically sealed, thus preventing the escape of the vital prin ciple, or fluid ot the hair at tlio ends, just as the sealing of a thermometer by tho blow-pipe prevents tho escape ot thu mercury and tho action ot outside agencies.'' The secret of the preservative in fluence on tho hair of singeing was discovered in France in a very singu lar manner. Some ears ago a terrible g- explosion occurred in runs, and imong tnu casuaiities reported was that of an elderlv gentleman, who, upon aliu'bting after having been blown into the air au unknown distance, dis covered that his hair had been burned off clusu to his head. What was his surprise to find a few weeks later a luxuriant growtli ot hair wnere beloro md been scattered a few gray tufts of what looked more like frost-killed hunch giass than healthy hair. Acting upon the 111 nt. nltorded by this well authenticated case as to the effects of singeing off the hair, tho process of singeing hair to give it luster and pre vent its turning gray was adopted in a few of tho shaving parlors of Paris. riiu process spiedily became so popu lar that it was generally adopted. In Boston this method ot treating hair has been in vogue for several years. So far as I know, however, this is the first season of its use in anything like a general way in Chicago. The theory that it seals up the ends of the hairs and pi events tho leaching of the mar row of tho hair is, I think, correct. We lmve, ,a 8od ma,",y ""'nber is steadily customers and tho increasing.
