Ease in Society.

"rd rather thrash in the barn all day."
said Reuben Riley to his sister, as he ad-
justed an uncomfortable collar about his
sunburnt neck, "than go to this peslSy
party. / never know what to do with my
self, stuck up in the parlor all the evening.
If the fellows would pull their coats off,
and go out and chop wood on match,
there'd be some sense in it,
"Well, hate it as bad as you do Reub."
said sister Lucy. "The fact is, we never
go nowhere, nor see nobody, and no won
der we feel so awkward when we do hap
pen to stir out"
The remarks of this brother and sister
were but the echoes of the sentiment of
many other farmers boys and girls, when
invited out to spend social evening. But
poor Lucy had not hit the true cause of the
difficulty. 1t was not because there was
such wide difference between their home
and company manners. The true way to
feel at ease in any garb is to wear it often.
If the pleasing garb of good manners is
only put on on rare occasions, it will never
fit well and seem uncomfortable.
Learn to behave properly at home, to
cultivate yourself. Do not sit, or stand, or
lounge about in ungainly attitudes, but
acquire manly, erect bearing have
never seen such vigorous hearty manhood,
in any class, as among cultivated farmers
sons. Let table manners be especially
looked after. If you are so unfortunate as
to have mother who is careless in this re-
gard, you must do the best you can to
remedy the early defect in your home
training. Note carefully how well-bred
people behave, and do your best to initiate
them. 1t is noble to be an imtator of that
which is good and beautiful. Above all, if
you wish to be at home in society, fill your
brains with ideas. Set your mind at work.
Wake it out of the sluggishness it would
naturally sink into, if you were only a
plodder and nothing more by good stirring
thought. Take the newspapers and read
them thoroughly. knowledge is power
in more senses than one. If you 90 into
society with something in your mind worth
talking about, you will not fail to find lis
teners who will treat you with respect, and
where you are we'll received, you will not
fail very soon to find yourself at ease.

A Poor Girl Falls Heir to a Fortune.

The Omaha Bee of recent date says
And now comes an Omaha girl to be ad-
ded to the long list upon whom the God
dess of Fortune has designed to cast her
golden smiles. The name of the heiress is
Maggie O'Brien, dining-room girl at the
Donovan House, where she has been en-
ployed for several months past, always do
ing her duty well and cheerfully, and, ow-
ing to her fascinating manners and pretty
face, she has made favorable impression
upon more than .one of the gentlemen
boarders during that time. Last week she
received letter from the post-office, and
upon opening and reading it, what was her
surprise to learn that her aunt in Wash
ington city had died and left her a fortune.
The news was too good to keep, and it
leaked out early in the morning, and while
she waited upon the table she became the
centre of attraction and the observed of all
observers. Her fortune was soon the gen.
eral topic of conversation, and the amount
was variously stated to be from $25, 600 to
$4,000.

How False Hair Is Obtained.

A N interesting account of the method
IN by which false hair is obtained in
Paris is given. Many persons enormously
believe that most of the curls and water
falls offered for sale come directly from
the heads of young girls, who barter them
in exchange for gewgaws or money, or
from converts and nunneries. Such cases
are the exception, not the rule. Nine
tenths of chignons sold are manufactured
out of the contents of the ragpicker's bas-
ket and bag. These industrious people
search among the refuse of ash-barrels for
the snarled knots of hair combed from the
head of the ladies or servants of the houses
and out of this apparently filthy stuff is
manufactured elegant braids of every shade
and length. The refuse combings are sold
for six francs kilogramme (about two
pounds) to the head rag g-picker of Paris,
who makes this a speciality. In fact, he
trade in nothing else just now. He sells
them, in exactly the same snarled and dirty
condition, for nine francs kilogramme to
the wig-malers and hair-workers, who sort
and clean them, and do them up in the
fashionable styles, and then sell them to
the wholesale dealers, who supply the trade
and foreign markets, for Paris hair brings
the highest prices. Not one in a hundred
is aware of the various processes which
switches have to undergo before they are
fit for use. The combings are first rolled
and mixed in with sawdust to cleanse them
thoroughly and remove every particle of
grease and mud. Then they are combed
out with a sort of iron card, just like those
they use for carding wool, only the opera
tion has to be carried on with good deal
more care, so as not to split or break the
hair, because the longer it is the better it
sells, and the higher price it brings. Long
hair is becoming scarce it does not grow
fast enough to meet the demand. After
the combings are cleansed, they have to be
pulled out to make them even. A hair is
exactly like little conical tube, much
finer toward the tip than at the root AS
the hairs are all mixed, roots up and roots
down, the worker takes a small bunch be.
tween his fingers and rolls them lengthwise
picking them out until he gets them per-
fectly even, and ali with the roots upwards.
Then they sort these lunches into three
different lengths, for switches, braids, and
wigs; and; finally, into seven shades. This
last operation is the most trying to the
workers patience. Just think every sim
gle hair has to be taken up by itself, and
compared with the others, The time and
labor thus involved are what make false
hair so expensive. Much has been said
about the sale of dead persons hair, and
of course some is always in the market but
it is not the best quality, and is very easily
detected. It is quite dry and brittle, and
does not keep in curl, SO that the dealers
! do not care to buy it.

Soaring a Yankee.

The following story is told by the Boston
Commercial Bulletin: n
"say You ! Mister Look here p'
said specimen of the genuine American
Yankee, the other day, to a slightly-built
citizen who was hurrying past him at the
southern part of the city.
Well, what is itP be quick-pm in a
hurry" replied the citizen.
"Wall, l s'pose you kin stop'n arnser
civil questions, can't YEP"
Certainly-what is it p'
" Is there much smallpox about here
now?"
Il think there is and you had better
avoid crowded places, and"
Yaas, know, that's what our doctor
told me, so got out at the Robbery De-
po', instid Of riding to the Boston one,
where there's crowd. Pm pesky feared
on it, an I'm walkin' deown because"
" But, sir, I've answered your questions,
and you must excuse me from stopping
any longer"
Shan't do no such thing" said Jona-
than.
What in thunder's the use of your get
tim huffy about ?"
"Sir, you are evidently from the country,
and don't consider"
"Consider be darned It's you city peo-
pie who consider yourself SO confounded
stuck up, you can't speak to common
folks"
"I was about to say" remarked the
citizen, "that you are running a great risk
in stopping stranger"
Resk?" said the man, forgetting his
smallpox scare, and misinterpreting the
caution. "Resk? why, there's fist (doub-
ling one that looked like fitch of bacon)
that would knock you into the middle o f
next week."
"No doubt of it," replied the other,
drawing back as it flourished in dangerous
proximity to his nose.
Yaas, my little fellor," continued Rus
ticus, laying both hands on the lappels of
the mans coat, and drawing him close to-
""AN'' hih'' Il Scuiu buIOW JOu ONtT my
head If had mind tew"
"Take your hands off me, sir. You
don't know what you are doing You
don't know who I am.
Don't know who you be? Wall, who
are you? Governor, or State Constable p"
"No, I'm one of the nurses from the
smallpox hospital over FOUNDER, and I'm
going to get some medicines at the doc
tors office, and you are stopping me, and
running something of risk in SO doing"
The Yankee evidently was of the same
opinion, for he let go the lappels of the
others coat collar as if they had been red
hot, and stepped aside as if he had seen
locomotive coming for him at mile min
ute speed.
Then casting hurried glance at the
"hospital over FOUNDER" he left in the op-
posite direction, and was last seen in q
chemi SITS shop negotiating for pound of
chloride of lime and quart bottle of dis
infectant fluid.
