The Chinese women, who have coarse
hard hair, though beautiful, use a
curious mixture of honey and flour to
cleanse and stften it. The Creoles in
the Island of Cuba use a decoction
of rosemary leaves, whiuh they pretend
softens and cleanses the hair.
In Southeran America the women
use the root of the soap tree boiled in
water. The yolk of an egg is con
sidered a good thing, but the hair
must be washed well afterwards. A
very excellent thing u a decoction of
quinine or Peruvian bark. Take half
a pint of good spirits, in which dissolve
aquaiterofan ounce of sulphate of
quinine, close this tightly in a bottle
and then leave for a few days, shaking
it occasionally.
Afterward add a pint of rum and
an ounce of powdered Peruvian bark ;
leave this for a week or ten days, then
filter through blot'ing paper, and then
unite the two mixtures together and
use to wash the roots of the hair with
a sponge, half the quinine mixture and
half water.

Stumbling on Fortunes.
HOW GOLD MINKS HAVE ISLKN DISCOV
ERS I!Y MERE CHANCE.
From tho Host 011 Ololw.
Gold was discovered in California
in 1848, and in Colorado in 1858.
The discovery was accidental in both
cases, and the fact created the impres
sion that mines were "lying about
loose." Adventurers drifted about in
hopes of stumbling upon a mine.
Here are some instances of lucky
finds :
Three men while looking for gold
in California discovered the dead body
of a man who evidently had been
"prospecting."
"Poor fellow," said one of the trio,
"he has passed in his checks."
"Let's give him a decent burial,"
said another. "Some wife or mother
will be glad if ever she knows it."
They bfgan to dig a grave. Three
feet below the surface they discover
ed signs of gold.
The stranger was buried in another
place, and where they had located a
grave they opened a gold mine.
An adventurer who had drifted to
Leadville awoke one morning without
food or money. He went out and
shot a deer, which, in its dying agonies,
kicked up the dirt and disclosed signs
of gold. The poor man staked out a
"claim," and opened one ot the most
profitable claims ever worked in Lead
ville. "Dead Man's Claim," the name
given to another rich mine iu Lead
ville, was discovered by a broken
down miner while digging a grave.
A miner died when there was sever
al feet of snow on the ground. His
comrades laid his body in a snow bank
and hired a man for $4 to dig a grave.
The gravedigger, after three days'
absence, was found digging a mine
instead of a grave. While excavating
he had struck gold.
An unsuccessful Australian miner
went up and down Colorado for sever
al months "prospecting" for gold and
finding none.
One day he sat down unon a stone,
and whili musing over his hard luck
aimlessly struck a stone with his pick
He chipped olf a piece ami sprang to
his feet. The chio was rich gold
quartz.
1 le hurried into the little town of Ros
ita, and went to the assay office, where a
teamster had just dumped a load of
wood. He agreed to saw the wood
to pay for assaying his chip e l sam
ple. The result of the assay it him
back to his "claim." Whe ae had
taken out of it f 500,000 h .old the
mine for $400,000 in cash a. i 1,000,

WASHINGTON LETTER
Washington, Jan. 30, 1893.
President elect Cleveland has long
ago shown that he possesses the. rare
faculty of being able to see and to do
the right thing at the right time and
place. Therefore it was not sur
prising that his telegram of condolence
should have been among the first re
ceived by the widow of James G.
Blaine, the Amctican statesman. Al
though differing widely in many of
their ideas there wa3 one bond of
sympathy between them, one promin
ent trait in the character of each of
them that the other cou d admire
without forgetting their political
difference, and that was the intense
Americanism, which was the keystone
of Mr. Blaine's great popularity, and
which makes Grover Cleveland the
most popular living American, to-day.
And therein lies a lesson that should
not be lost upon men ambitious of
popularity ami power. There never
was a period in the history of our
country when sturdy, uncompromising
Americanism was more highly ap
preciated by the masses than it is
now.
Mr. Blaine's funeral, which was
held today at the Church of the
Covenant, was by request of his
family made as simple as possible.
The pall bearers were all intimate
personal friends of the deceased and
the services at the church were con
fined to the reading of the Presby
terian burial ritual and a prayer
by the pastor. With the exception of
an organ dirge before and after the
short services, played by Walter
Damrosch, the husband of one of Mr.
Blaine's daughters, there was no
music. Not one tenth of the people
who wanted to attend the tuneral,
could get in the church, and a very
large crowd remained outside during
the services and afterwards followed
the remains to Oak Hill cemetery
where the interment was made, Mr.
Blaine having requested that he be
buried there by the side of son Walker
who died suddenly several years ago.
There was much disappointment here
because the funeral was not public,
and at the Capitol. Congress ad
journed from Saturday to two o'clock
this afternoon to give its members an
opportunity to attend the funeral, and
all of the Government buildings were
closed to-day.
Unless there is great change in the
present opinion of the democratic
Senators nothing short of a cloture
rule, which the Senate refused to
adopt when the Force bill was under
consideration, will enable the re
publicans to confirm the nomination
of the republican successor to the late
Justice Lamar, whom Mr. Harrison is
said to be determined to nominate.
The democratic Senators are
unanimous in the belief that this
vacancy should be filled by a demo
crat and they will not allow a vote to
be taken on the nomination of a re
publican unless compelled to do so
by a cloture rule.
The House committee on Rules
has set aside February 9 and 10 for
consideration of the Andrews bill for
the repeal of the Sherman Silver law.
The general impression seems to be
that a vote will not be reached, al
though a number of the friends of the
bill express contidence in its being
passed.
If Postmaster General Wannamaker
holds the reception to the employes
of his department which was to have
been held at his residence to-night
the invitations to which were with
drawn on account of the death of Mr.
Blaine he will retire from office with
the personal ill will of nine-tenths of
the white employees of the depart
ment. The reason is not difficult to
locate. In sending out invitations
for the reception he included all of
the negro laborers, watchmen, mess
engers, and scrub women on the de
partment pay roll, and the white clerks,
particularly the females, object to as
sociating on terms of social equality
with the negroes.
Considerable interest is felt as to
what position the administration will
take on the petition of the provision
al Hawaiian government for annexa
tion to the United States. What
ever view Mr. Harrison may take of
the matter it is hardly probably that
any action will be taken by the present
Congress.
The House Ways and Means com
mittee is putting in some hard work
studying and digesting the Treasury
statement furnished by Secretary
Foster last week, and Senator
Carlisle has taken a copy of it over to
President elect Cleveland.
Senator Carey has given notice of
two amendments to the House bill
for the admission of New Mexico;
one including Utah and Oklahoma in
accordance with a decision of the re
publican caucus, pnd another includ
ing those two and Arizona. Unless
the plans of the republican caucus
are changed it is very doubtful
whether any vote will be reached on
this question at the present session.
The election of Representative
Mitchell, of Wisconsin, who was
chairman of the democratic Con
gressional committee in the last cam
paign, to the Senate is gratifying to
democrats here, and they regard the
promotion as deserved.
