A Commonwealth avenue physician had
been dining with a few professional ero
hiea, and aa tho cigars were lighted the
talk drifted to tho tobacco habit, lir.st, in
Its effect upon the race at large, and then
to its peculiar effects upon various indi
viduals. I know a man, said the elder
physician in fact, he is now in my employ
who is a victim of the st rangest whims
in regard to the use of the weed that ever
ramc under my observation. He is a
Scotchman, about UO years old. Twelve
years ago he deserted from tho English
navy and came to this country, when I
gave him a position as coachman. One
morning 1 went Into the stable, and life
tired that a hole about two feet square had
been cut In a partition between two stalls,
and a little shelf had been nailed up under
neat I; it. I wondered what on earth it had
been done for, but Donald was away at the
time and when he came back it had slipped
my mind.
It was a week afterward before 1 had oc
caslon to go into theatable again, and when
I did 1 found Donald standing on a stool,
leaning his elbow on the shelf, with a long
clay pipe in his mouth, smoking nay like
a good one nnd blowing the smoke through
the little window bu had cut. Upon my
questioning him he told me thai of the
twenty years he had passed in her majesty's
service ten of it had been on board a pow
der ship where the rules against smoking
were very strict. During all this time he
bad been accustomed four times a day to
stand upon a chest and lean out of n port
bole to smoke, so that no onu would smell
it, and when nt last he took French leave
he found that be could not get any satis
faction" out of a pipe unless indulged in
the old posture, and so you can llnd him
after each meal and for half an hour before
going to bed. Standing on that stool blow
ing his smoke through the little wiudow.
Boston Herald.
Too Willini; to Ho Acceptable.
A needy Frenchman once heard that a
marriage was on the tapis lictween the
daughter of a certain wealthy merchant
and the Ron of a rich banker. The dowry
that was to be given to the bride was 500,
WK) francs. The merchant was well ftown
to be on the lookout for a good bargain cr
to save a dollar, so on this the Parisian
founded his hopes on a good dinner nt
least.
He accordingly called at the merchant's
residence and asked the privilege of seeing
him on very important business. After a
while he was admitted to his presence.
"The matter, sir, on which I call," ho
began, "involves for you the practical
saving of 960,000 francs. I"
"Oh, my dear sir," interrupted the mer
chant, "this is too serious to be discussed
Ik fore dinner, and as it is now my hour
for dinim.', pray take dinner with me, nnd
we will afterward consider your proposi
tion at our leisure."
Having partaken of a meal that left a
pleasant flavor in tne unfortunate's mem
ory the rest of his life they returned to the
merchant's study.
"And now I am ready to hear your pro
posal.'' he remarked.
The Parisian after a moment's thought
began:
"I understand, sir, your daughter Is to
lie shortly married to the son of the banker
D'Argent."
"Yes. that la true."
"And that her dowry is half a million?"
This was also assented to.
"Well, then, here is my idea. I am
ready to take her for half that sum, and
thus you will save or gain exactly 250,000
francs. Philadelphia Times.
A Newspaper Proprietor's Whims.
"James Gordon Bennett's methods are
peculiar," said an old newspaper man in
an interview with a reporter. "He once
brought up a man from an outside town
to work the police courts. After a clay or
two he just as quickly sent him back to
work there on space rates. The boy got
rather rattled and declared he would get
even with Bennett. He did. There was a
bad smash-up on the road, nnd he sent an
exclusive account to The Sun. Bennett
of OOUrse wanted to know why The Herald
was beat, and when he learned it was his
whilom policeman who had scooped him
he sent for him again and made him assist
ant dramatic editor. He said he should
not lieat him again.
"Shortly afterward, when in Paris, Ben
nett cabled this man to come there and act
as city editor of the Paris edition. He
went, and remained for two weeks, when
Bennett, who had gone daewhere, telc
graphed him to go to London and report
to Oakey Hall, who then had charge of the
Iondnn edition. Hall told him be had no
Work for him, and sent a message to Ben
nett, to that effect. Bennett then nt onco
replied, 'Tell him to go to hades.' Proba
bly he did, for he remained in London."

Test of Quickness In f encing.
A very interesting method of testing the
quickness of a sword thrust consists in
photo-chronogrnphic measurement. The
movement of the foil point is too quick to
be measured by the eye, but by the aiil uf
tho photo-chronogrnphic apparatus it can
be plainly shown. The fencer is dressed in
while, placed in front of a black back
ground, the foil is chalked and a metallic
"spangle" is fastened to the tip by wax.
The photo-chronographla machine being
set ill rotation, tho trajectory of the tip of
the foil during tho movement of the
fencer is shown by a series of dots.
As two successive images aro one-flf
teenth of a second apart in time, it follows
that by counting these images the entire
time occupied from tho beginning to the
end of the movomont can be determined.
In a recent test it was found that the
stroke occupied a little less than four
tenths of a second. By this means two
swordsmen can bo compared, and their
relative quickness easily and exactly de
termined. New York Commercial Adver
tiser. Due to Neglect of the Voire.
The result of widespread neglect to train
men and women to good reading and
speaking is apparent in tho very disagree
able voices which are heard upon every
side. In a fashionable parlor the women's
voices whim taken in concert aro often a
perfect babel of unmusical and irritating
sonnds, while those of the Hen are very
little better. Yet all of this might easily
bo overcome by systematic and judicious
attention to tho lawi governing gentle,
well aiticulau-d am. refined speech. Jen-

HOW TO CARE FOR THE HAIR.
A Few Simple Muuures For Beautifying
It, und a New Coiffure.
How to care for tho hair is a never settled
question. The nir rket is full of nostrums
for beautifying, lestorlng and preserving
it, while there is an uuccusing supply ot
contradictory recipes for its treatment.
One writer mentions sage tea as a dressing,
but does not add that it should be used
only by brunettes, as it is inclined to dark
en tho hair. Other authorities state that
borax should always be dissolved in the
water in which the hair is washed. But
borax, although It keeps the hair soft and
dean, makes it fall out as fast as it grows
Somebody else advises the use pf raaejint
and glycerin. These articles may be bene
ficial, but they inake the huir dump ami
oily and effectually prevent anything in the
ill fvi
mm ooiiTVBB,
way of curia or waves, besides collecting all
the dust and cinders that are afloat in the
air. Brushing has time wit of mind been
considered the best sort of treatment, but
not long ago an innovator came out with
the assertion that it is most injurious, de
stroying the new hair.) before they have a
chance to grow. This may be taken with a
grain of wholesome dcubt.
It is much easier toiy what should not
than what should be done. Oil or greaseof
any kind makes the hair straight, stringy
and unpleasant to the touch and is an en
emy to neatness. Soda dulls and dries it.
Sulphur stimulates its growth, but is too
odoriferous to be pleasant. Simple meas
ures in this matter, as in most others, are
best. The hair may lie washed as frequent
ly as necessary, for if it is quickly dried a
bath docs It no harm and greatly improves
its appearance. A little common salt, fine
toilet soap, ammonia or alcohol may be
added to the water and the hair afterward
be dried In the sun or by artificial heat. It
should not be touched with brush or comb
until it is thoroughly dry. This treatment
will keep it clean and soft, and no hair is
beautiful without these attributes, no mat
ter what its color or thickness.

i whlob the front hair is curled and the
waved back hair arranged in a twist end

The left side is ornamented With four erect
wings or ear J tjniO CHOLI,ET.
It bas frequently been noticed that the
fingers of silk weavers are very long and
taper, and, what is more enrious, after sev
eral generations have been in the trad?
the children are born with excessively long
fingers, and they can acquire the trade in
alwut one-third of the time taken by an
outsider born of parents engaged in other
pursnits.
