IT is said that the first daring wo-
man who learned the art of hairdress-
ing in England assumed the garb
of male, and thus deceived hel
teacher, who would on no condition
have taught bis trade to any but one
of his own sex. But it was Emily
Faithful who originated. the idea oi
female hairdressers in London, and
who, in 1870, persuaded the Queen
to accord them her preference.
Since then they have been universal
ly employed, not only because OF the
Queens recognition, which alone
would have established their popu.
larity, but ladies found it so much
more CONNIE IL faut to receive their
own sex into their boudoirs at a
time when dishabiNe was the disorder
OF the hour.

A Hot Ride.

A Schenectady mans experiences,
while coastins in q scoop snhovel,
making the fastest time on record.
is thus related by the Schenectady
Star:
Not many evenings ago, q we'll
known resident of this city accom-
panied by his wife and steel SCOOP
shovel, was journeying down town
from Paige Hill, when, upon arriv-
ing at the summit of Hamilton street
hill-which was a glare Of ice from
summit to foot-the man iokingly
remarked to the lady that "it
wouldn't be bad idea to ride the
shovel"
"You couldn't said the woman.
Pshaw, yes / could. / could 60
just like this" and, to illustrate.
straddled the handle, which ho
grasped with both hands, and care
fully seated himself within the SHOW
ell. Then raising his feet he showed
how he could steer himself, and
said: II could go just as easy -
anything"
" Why SO you could" !" acqpiescsd
his wife, and then giving him q sud.
den shove, she exclaimed: . and
there you gol''
And he did go.
Hamilton street hill is the Steep
est, iciest, and I" slipperiest" Of ~
Schenectady hills, and the way the
scoop shovel took that man down
was a sight to behold.
The famous Tightening explsap
trains were slow pokes in comparis06
to that scoop shovel.
So fast did it travel that in H.
than two seconds time both shovel
and man had disappeared from view
OF his wife. But second later she
was startled by seeing what appeared
to be ball of FIRE rushing at light
ming speed toward the foot Of the hill,
and, although considerably fright
eDed, the .woma6 managed to d.
scen1 the hill and institute search
for her husband.

but when the shovel had becomo
sufficiently cool, they started for
home, carefully selecting the darkest
side Of the le ct frequentsd street.
The man went directly to bed and
his toes were turned toward tho
springs.
The shovel has recovered, but tho
man still prefers to stand up during

THINGS WORTH KIN WING. That

and many fruit stains; pour the
water through the stain, and thus
prevent it from spreading over the
fabric. That ripe tomatoes will
remove ink and other stains from
white cloth: also from the hands.
That teaspoonful Of turpentine,
boiled with white clothes will aid
the whitening process. That boiled
starch is much improved by the ad-
dition of little spermaceti or q little
salt, or both, or little gum arabic
dissolved. That beeswax apd salt
will make fat.iorns as clean and
smooth as glass; tie a lump Of wax
in a rag and keep it for that purpose;
when the irons are hot rub them
with the wax rag, then scour with q
paper or rag sprinkled with salt.
That kerosene will soften boots OF

LlouoR QUESTION IN OH1o.--Ohio
has passed a stringent Sunday Liquor
Law, requiring all places for the sale
of liquor to be closed on Sunday
under a severe penalty. The law
which is known as the Stubbs Bill" "
was delayed by the Republican Leg
islature at Columbus till after the
Cincinnati election and than prompt
ly passed, so that the first ser GUS at
tempt at it's enforcement will come
under Democratic Mayor elected
on a -and order ticket. The bill
was supported by Democrats in the
Legislature, but an overwhelming
share of its support was Republican.
The current tendency ut Columbus,
now that the spring elections are out
of the way, is toward legislation
looking to the enforcement OF Ii
cense system with heavy fee.

Household Hints.

Put bowl of quicklime in q damp
closet, and it will absorb the mois.
turc.
To peel any kind of fruit easily,
pour boiling water over it and this
loosens the skin.
A piece of muslin put next to every
layer of leather in sole will prevent
the shoe from squeaking.
TO stone raisins easily, pour boil
ing water over them, and drain it off.
This loosens them and they come out
clean and with ease.
Let the sun have access 10 the in
side oil the whole house at some time
during the day, and keep shutters,
blinds and windows open except
when it is necessary to exclude it,.
Never mind faded carpets, they are
not so bad as faded cheeks, and these
cannot be obtained except by fresh
air and ample daylight.
Dishes should always be rinsed in
clear, hot water after having been
washed in soapsuds. Nothing is
more unpleasant ct the table than to
notice certain sickness that the
soap is likely to leave. 1t is necessa-
ry also from n sanitary point of view; 4;
the caustic alkal is corrosive and
unwholesome, and the grease is often
iinpule.

Patent Flour.

Patent -four is now coming into
general use, and many of our read
ers may bo interested in reading the
following explanation OF what it is
md how it is made, taken from the
Prairie Farmer:
Until quite a recent date the
best flour was made from winter
wheat; or, rather tn -four made
from winter wheat sold for the most
money because it was white. But
it consisted for the most part of the
starch of the grain, while the most
OF the gluten went into the mid.
dlings. In grinding spring wheat
so much bran remained in the -four
that it was too dark to suit the taste
of the consumers. But the mid
dlings, which sold at low price, has
become the most desirable part of
the grain.
Middling purifers-by which the
bran is separated from the middlings
have made revolution in the bu-
siness of milling.
BY the new process the wheat is
ground precisely as before, except
that the efforts Of the miller are di-
rected to obtaining the most mid
dlings possible, andthese are placed
upon large horizontal sieves which
are constantly agitated, while at the
same time by Ingenious devices a
draft of air is rushed up through
the sieves which carries off the bran.
The purified Iniddlings are then
reground and the product is "pat-
.ent" flour, containing the glutinous,
or most nutritious portion of the
grain. Thus it is explained why the
hard spring wheats of Minnesota,
Northern Wisconsin and Dakota
bling the highesti in price the market,
whereas only few years ago they
commanded only the lowest prices.

cade Mountains, straight from the
point where it touches the Columbia

All this the Government can say
in Effect through the Congress thas
may meet in May. For the North
era Pacific Company is now under
forfeiturs-suspended forfeiture, in
deed-lut absolute forfeiture. The
Government can take possession of
thelunfnished portions of its line,
just SO soon as an authorizing act
can be passed through Congress.

within the time prescribed by law
In advance Of the act of supreme
and fatal violation of the Company's
charter, hostile ending of the road
at the Columbia river and tying it
at that point as a local State cor.
poration, the incoming Congress
will probably see that 1t is among its
earliest and most pressing duties to
take action to defeat a scheme to
break the continuity of the Northern
Pacific Road established by the
Thirty.seventh Congress-, and to
change its routes maturely located
by the Government, between Lake
Superior and. Puget Sound. The
purpose to do so on the part of the
Oregon Hallway and Navigation
Company is avowed. 1t is the talk
