A FATAL MISTAKE.
One ercnin? a lew weeks ago a party
of c.'ut;L':m-:i were seated on tlie bairony
of the i'!ub-liousc at Heed's Lake. Mos:
cf them were lrona the city, bnt there
wrr. two or three niraneis who for
the fird tim were cr.jyinx tte beaut v
of tiie celebr.ited bienery of Oiaul
Pap:. Is and tue lio-pitAry of the
bo it club. It w.w a pnucJ ni'bt for st .ry
telling, and the pirty had been m-laJjri tit;
in tint pastime tor nearly an hour w lieti
na of the itr.msrers. w ho was :m artit,
threw away his ciar nd reUtod tite lol
lo.Viiig adventure:
Such an evening cs this alwavs recalls
to my m;n 1 an experience wim" h I had
when I was a FtuJt-r.t in the city of
1U tfnore. One of the fellows of our set
owned a yacht, and in consequence wo
till cultivated his acquaintance. Onedav
he told us that he was expecting to
ontertaiu a jiarty of voting la lies t'lat
cv. iiin. and that he w'shed to rel v upon
i:n f r assistance. Of courso we w;oie all
tlehhli.'d to jzo sailing in such merry
company, aud that ni.'ht a do.e:i hanj.y
yoiin- p.-op;. went ;hdin up t!ie bav in
as MiiiK-h a yacht as ever "divided "the
water? of the Ojsapeak We had
sailed abo'it t n miles, and were qnit
n"ar the elu-ire, when it was sii.-ste 1
t'.at we s'.i'iuid land before luaaiuij a tauk.
for our return.
As w? approach".! the land we saw a
birht irlituiin r through the io'.i.Te. Th
f.M-.iuud was lai 1 out with regular rows of
trees that Moid like tail sentinels in the
briirlit nioiniiht. Broad pravel walks
1-1 frotn the beach, and the lawn was in
t ts -ct.-d with carriage drives. Upon
th l.iiisi le a couple of lountains reflect
ed the inon :!iea:us upon the feurround-
itr t-viT- v.-ns. an 1 upon every sido were
U iwer f wh s bright blossoms drank
in th2 parkl;n? de.vJrops and dill'used
rich col riii over the landscape. The
natural be.i i'.y of the park was enriched
by every device of art and landscape
k'.irdi niir,'. Appearances indicated that
w were trespassing upon the private
S-TTin !s of a very lare rural residence,
but o:p who pretended to be acquainted
w.th thi nei'hborh.xid, said tn.it the
grounds were- public and that the li'ht
prucei-l rl irmu a hole! which was a sort
of a summer resort. It was at once
p-nio.-e 1 thai we have refreshment, and
o.T we s'arted in the direction of the
l..;ht. The youna lady wlioiu I escorted
took my arm, and wo led the party
towar is til ouiiUeuco. XL -re was a
little riva'ry to v who should ;et tlicre
first, a:t I on that a-vaunt we did not
notice th'? de-Ttel appearance of the
piace. n..r reahze the bjrape that we were

rr lined tasle could procure. Tiieir ho:n
was a favorite resort ior the best pooiely,
an 1 was constantly thronged with gay
guests. Tne walls which echo 'd our
dull footfalls had, five vears before, re
aoun led with the pounds of mirth and
revelry. One nisfit, when the house
was wrapped in slumber, the master
heard a no.se as of eonie one attempting
to ain an entran e. Seizing his revolver
lie sprang from his bed. an 1 glided with
eo.'t lootsteps down the hall to the dining
room, from w hence the sounds proceed
ed, lie ttopped for a moment by the
door. Suddenly it opened and a burglar
bounded pikit him. lie raised his weapon
aniliri-d. At the came instant awhile
liure came within the ranga of his vision.
A piercinc: shriek revealed to him his ter
rible mistake, llisauxions w ile had fol
lowed him from their chatnher, only to
perish at the hand of her husband, he
never spoke. He caught her in hisarms,
and received one passionate kiss of devo
tion before her upir.it took, its flight for-cv-.r.
The establishment was at once closod
and the servants were uisuiissed. Tho
hi oken hearted husband took his little
daughter and went to Europe. Our
German friend, who at that time was a
tutor of the little girl, was le.t in care of
the house, and until our advent he had
been the only occupant of the deserted
mansion.
r.ut now comes the romantic part oi
my fitory. Four years afterwards I was
traveling in Europe, and at a German
watering place I met an American, ac
companied by his daughter, a handsomo
girl of sixteen. The father was tint much
past middle age, hut his heavy head of
hair was white as tnow. He was very
reserved in his manners, and seemed
broken with grief. Somehow their faces
attracted me, and I could not help think
ing that in days gone by I had known
them. 1 made their acquaintance, aud
learned their history. Years before I
had seen their portraits in the old man
sion at Baltimore. A couple of years
after our meeting the father die 1. In
the meantime the daughter had become
intereste 1 in art. 1 encouraged her taste
in that direction, and a year a fur her
fatle-r's death she married an artjst
whom you have all met.

Fishing and Catching riah.
The boy asked w hat w as the difference
h-twyen going for lisli and going fi.-,hiug.
His lather said that to catch lish was lo
get a few scaly things not worth much,
but going fishing was ouite another tiling.
It iuclu led the sunshine an! the birds,
and the murmur oi the brojksaal many
other thiiiiis. The father was like
thousands oi othe rs who go fishing and
bring home memories of pleasant hours
of the murmuring waters and sunshine
an 1 birds. Put a look in the basket mav
reveal no fish there, unless the lisher h.is
met some boy on the stream who di 1
not know or care whether there were
any boys or sunshine that day or not, so
that he sat the fish and sold them to the
fellow that was seeing everything else,
except a lovorable bole to cist his line.
Vrt... r i -..' . . . , . .

noth ng else. If the tish don't bite I am
wondering if mv bait is r.ll right, and I
don t go long without a Lite befor.s I look
Pt tr.y bait and iu.ike s j:no ch.i.ige in it.
If nothing more, I take il otf and put it

'Every man shakes hands according

Another species of handshaker I ii t 'n
is the man who oll'.-rs vou one linger Li

KILLING THE GREAT AUK.

Sixty or seventy years ago the groat

as Naiiant. lhit warfare was commenced
upon them, and. though it hardly .--cms
possible, th-ir extermin itioa is" ilotiht-p.-.-s

coast of le.'iand.
In the last century these birls, which
Were large, handsome and str.king in ap
pearance, were common at the Karoo
Islands, and, as thvy were found to be
good eating, they were si.-.iig.iU-rcd bv

that was coiis.dere 1 inaccessible; bal

stroyed nearly the entire rookerv. A
few birds escaped to sea mid return-ii
after the departure of the men, and for
time- were safe. Then, as if nut -ir- b--.--self
were in league against them, the
ro k , a few years niter, was c-nguhed bv a
sub-marine eruption.
The few remaining great auks now as
sembled and formed a rookery on a rock
called IHdey, where, for fourteen years,
they lived a precarious existence, "pur

taken, and finally the last pair was de

is very 'similar to this. That the birds
were once common on the M-iine coast ia
sho.va by the fact that their bones nre
louud in the oyster-sheli heaps at various
pans of the shore.
At th- same time and in the same lo
eahty with the great auk lived tiie Lib

and now totally extinct. The last known

The Different Sorts Thero are, and
What They Usually Cost. -
The Tiret Tiling: to he De i.led When Cet

lor Wouicil.
Tli .-re is a great deal mor to a wi;
than iippears to the untutored mind even
of a bald nan. There are ready mado
and made to order wigs of almost aa
many sha les .and styles its there are bald
men to wear them. 1 he prices varv from,
a three dollar heap mat o! hair to hide a
con. ing bald spot to beautiful combina
tions that cot hundreds of dollars. The
hrst tiling to i.e done in g. tting a wig is
to de. i le how hiueh you want to pay.
An ordinary plain weft wig, as it is
called, costs ;!,-,. unless the bald headed
man wi.ats a gray one, which w ill cost
-" h'.ou. This wig will over a laid
bead :is well .-is a .-,,) ventilated wig with
gauze seams, but the owner of it would
II t feci : s well or io.,k ss pretty as ba
wo-ld with a wig with ail modern im
piovements. After the plain weft wig conies the
weft wig with gauze seams. This wijj
' sts "" iix rc, an 1 if extra quality bairot
fine looking rrav or other rare'eolor 13
wanted iti- value may be as high as SMO.
I II a gauze S'.iim wig the parting of thia
bail is oa gauze, and the w ig is more de
ceptive. The gauze shows up white ia
imitation of the natural scalp. It takes
more art to do this, aad extra art costs
xuon.-y.
WITH lIAln NET SEAM.
Ambitious ba!d heads may buv th
weft v. ig with hair net seam. ' Tbisis aa
impiovcine. t still over the gauze seam,
and such improvements cost So each
gray hair extra rates. Wig manufactur
es describe this ps "the highest perfec
tion yet reached in the wigmuker's art,
for it is impossible to distinguish it from
the habitual parting, and hence this wig
losss-cs the valuable desideratum of
combining naturalness and durability."
i 'makers a!w ays spell wig w ith a big
W, and use Latin words in describing it,
to show their knowledge of the anticpuity
and dignity of concealers of baldness.
'1 be ventiinted w ig, with the hair net
team, is the top notch ia wigs, and costa
fioiii up. It is an invention in which
pr per wig manufacturers take great
Ji. ie. A special rochet ne-die-has been
invented for the making of this wig and
tie hairs are cro.-li.-tted in Tim -;.
w.th b.-.ir n t seam, ventilation and all,
wi-i-hs oid.y an ounce and a (pinner for
mod rate tie.-d beads, and aa ounce aad
a half for big beads.
live measurements are lo bo madj to
have a wig a good fit, and if the bald
11. an's head is lopsided, or if the bumps
arc 1 i-'pr.-perly developed, more measure
11 cuts w i.i have to be taken. Measure
ment No. 1 is around the h. ad from the
top of the forehead, where the roots of
the primeval hair were, down over the
ars, and around the base of the skull.
'I be next measurement is from the rem
nants of ba r roots on the forehead to the
base of tne head, in a straight lin, back
over tho ox;, Mice of baldness. 'Ihe tape
hue is tiem to be run from ear to ear over
the for, h. ad to fix the longitude, and
from ear to ear over the top bf the head
to make sure of the latitude of the ears,
from teliipie to temple around the back
of the head fixes the dimensions of the
rear foi.-h'-ad. With all tin. so full ia-ve.-tigat
ons must oe rua lo ps to whether
the person's hair was straight or curly,
i s color, wher it was paited, long or
short, and thick or thin. Paid headed
Pi-op e usually prefer to have their new
l a r like their old, but ii they are not
particular and none of thdr old hair is
it it to betray tin in. they can change the
part and shade r.nd try innovations. It
is not good form, however, among tho
best families of bald beads to wear a
curly wig one day nnd a straight haired
wig the next, though the part mav be
transferred from n. si le to tho other if
atteatioa is not called to it.
A PEAl.ISTIC EFPli 'T.
omo bald headed people with con
sciences do not cover oh their baldness
but leave a httle exposed, thereby adding
to the rea!.-tic etlect of their wigs. For
S'H-ii and for the mighty host of partially
balii toupees are made." The plain name
for toupees is scalp wigs. It is easier to
onier a t o ;:Tct. than a w ig. Here are full
oire.-fo-.s thr.t people out in the country
can take advantage of:
Cut a piece of p; per th size of tho
ba.d sulfa.-,.. on the t-.p of the heisd, th n
lav it on this surface and plait tho e.lg -s
Hat so that the paper will tit close, nnl
cover the bald pa it completely, thus pav
ing the exact shape oi the lit ad , then
draw a line with a .cad pen.-! where vou
had partial your hair. Now seeuro "thu
pla.ts wah a needle and thread so that
th-y v, id 0,,1!t. out. .t;t,.r v. Hi, li Volt
can fold your pap r att.-rn and in -!..sa
with s.uu pie of hair, together with j
structioas 1U envelope, lor transaiisolou
by post.
Instructions and a c!,erk frr pnvmcnt
are safe things to s-.-nd with the measure
n.ent. 'J he checks run ir. 111 S;o u, ac
cord. ng to the size of the bald spot find
the ha.r .1 the bald man. A toupee can
be stiak t , the- head so it will i.ol fall oil
or be. allecicd by raising the bat. It
should be taken oil every night and
n stuck the next morihag. Ihe piairi
weft toupee costs Jin, the gauze seam
extra, and the ventilated gauze s-am
more, ( .'ray toupees cost extra. Toupees
with bair n. t seam and gauze or imita
tion hair net foundation, which aro con
sidered in the manufacture! 'a catalogues
to be "the very acme of pcrfcLliun iu
every way,"' cost yi.i.
Ail these wi-s and toupees are for
men. l or women they Ci st mere, as a
woman's wig takes more hair, ami tho
price runs up to anything women want to
pay, though the usual prices range from
Jill to 5 i (jo. Wo. nan are mi-r.siir---d the
same ps men. and th" diiectioiis printed
above lor men will !o for women just as.
well. Women's wigs are i:i far greater
xatietiis than inch's. Pesidc the full

ble ftyles of false fronts find half and
quaiar wigs. The hdso fronts 1211 bo
