A Pittsburgh Accomplishment.

DID you ever see q Pittsburgher get
q flake of SCOT of his faceP He never
rubs it off. To rub off fake of SCOT
discloses the stranger. 1t also leaves q
streak Of black, half an inch wide, in
place Of the fake of SCOT as big as Q
three-cent piece. This is not an i'm
provement. The Pittsburgher to the
manner born blows it off. He is an
adept in the art. II the flake nestles on
his nose, he protrudes his under lip.
gives one vigorous Whit, and the OBJ
noxious Pittsburgh snowflake leaves
his face without q mark. II it lights on
either cheek, the mouth is puckered and
stretched around in the direction of the
smut, with the unerring accuracy Of a
garden hoe. II is astonishing what al
most inaccessible portions OF the face
and head can be reached by a native
burgher in this way. ! have seen ono
who could puff black flake of the
back of his neck. Sometimes the
beauty-spot will nestle close In behind
the left ear, where Il is apparently
secure from . blow as . calm center.
But the native simply gives it q puR
clear around his head, from left to
right; the current passes over the left
ear, caroms ON the right and comes
back and picks up the wanderer and
blows him away. They puff these
sable fakes in any position. as easily as
. weekly paper puhs the summer CIRCUS.

twelve acres of land put down in Q pond
that is fed by salt water. This pond
makes the largest terrapin farm proba-

heavy income. In it terrapins are raised
for the market, and 1t Is said that over
1900 " counts have been sold from it
in one year. 1t may be noted, for the
benefit Of the uninitiated, that q ''count''

A New Way to Make Hair Grow.

/ DO NOT think have vet told you of
a new system to make hair grow on the
head, even at the most advanced age.
1t has been tried on persons 80 or 80
years of age, and has always succeeded
as yet. But it requires great patience
and time. You must rub the head for
half an hour every day, either morning
or evening, AS YOU wish; then, if your
head be dry, rub it another half hour
with a stimulating pomatum. If the
head be moist, rub into the roots of the
hair stimulating wash, made of rum,
quinine, cantharides, etc., which any
chemist will easily and cheaply make
up for you. The great thing is to rub,
rub, rub the head for fully half an hour
before applying the medicant and for
half an hour afterward. Sometimes,
after 100 hours, you may begin to see
the hair ready to shoot up from the
most ivory-looking pate. The hair
grows slowly but surely, and takes as
many months to re-grOw as it took
years to tall. Suppose, then, you lost
your youthful locks twenty years ago,
it will take twenty months for it to
grow again to its original length and
thickness. The newly-grown hair, also,
is of the original color of the hair be-
before it began to fall.
Those who have time will certainly
try the experiment, at least for month
or two. Those who have ladies' maids
may save themselves the trouble, leav-
ing the care to the maid; but the per-
sons own hand is better. Several Ro-
man doctors are gong to try the exper-
iment, as the inventor of the system il
a disciple of Hahnemann. Hair dressers
are also trying it on those customers
who consent to make the trial. and sew
eral very remarkable cures have already
been effected. If mentioning this fact
may recrop fair head shall think
myself happy in having been able to
send you such a welcome New Year s
gift from Italy.-Romse Cor. Philadelphia

The Brains Of the Establishment.

A VERY fair story is told of certain
man who has recently come to SPRING
field to superlntend one of the depart
ments of a large industrial establish
ment. An out-of town visitor happened
to ask him the other day what position
he held. "My friend,'' was the re-
joinder, '.have you ever been in the
Grand Central Depot at New York P"
The visitor allowed that he had.
"Then," remarked the foreman, ''yOu
have noticed a man sitting in little
room very high up in the building near
the tower, who governs the movements
of all the trains. He does not seem
TO have anything to do, and often sits
with folded hands, and while he is still
nothing stirs below. But when he gives
the signal each train rolls out Of the
depot in accordance with a perfect sys-
tenn, which will not admit of the least
particle of confusion. The illustration
serves to show you my place; but. in
fact. sir, l am''-and here he gave his
forehead a significant tap-''the brains
of this establishment" And now the
story Is out and is being circulated
among this mans colaborers, some of
whom have served the same concern for

ON The OUTER WALLS
Is again the proud banner Of the B. &
o., aud by another happy stroke Of
enterprise goes to the front.

The Baltimore and Ohio having perfec-
ted all the details of the elaborate series of
Improvements it has been making of late,
announces a change in its time schedule to
go into effect on the 22d instant. Under
this new schedule the time between Chica-
60 and the East is greatly lessened. The
afternoon fast line which formerly left a
4:05 now leaves at 5:15, arriving at New
solid train rnnning through to Washing
ton, Baltimore, PhilAdclphia and New
York without change of cars of any class
whatever. The B. g. o. is the the only line
offering this great advantage, as by other
lines changes of cars are made except sleep
ers. The great convenience of the entire
train running through without change
must be more apparent to those who have
been forced to change cars at unreasonable
hours of the night and in many ways been
put to no little trouble in getting their
families and baggage from one train to an.
other There is nothing of this on the B.
& o. for if one SO shooses the car that he
takes in Chicago he may remsin in until
he reaches New York city. As all the
eastern lines run trains leaving Chicago at
| 5:l5, it is interesting to note that the B.
& o. train leaving at that hour reaches
Washington whole night in advance of
the 5:15 trains on competing roads-or in
other words those who leave Chicago for
Washington via the B. & O. reach there
the next evening, while by taking other
lines they would not reach the National
Capital until the second morning. The
time from New York to Chicago is lessen
ed an hour, the fast express being due at
7:30 instead of $50 as heretofore. There
is no material change in the departure o
the morning train for the East. The
splendid accommodations offered on the
New B. & o. Slcepers and the perfect man.
ner in which they are kept up increase the
commendations Of the travelling public.
The B. & 0. Sleepers are certainly unex-
celled in everything which tends to render
such cars luxurious and convenient. In
fact In many respects they are superior 10
sny sleeping cars run anywhere. They
are larger and finer iDfevery way, and the
conductors and porters are gentlemen in
every sense of the word. The line of new
Parlor Cars has juat been placed upon the
road and the cars are beauties indeed. In
their construction they embarce many now
elites. while in general effect they are
matchless. The Dining Car Line in and
out of Chicago has become very popular,
the meals served are of the very best and
the attendance is all the most fastidious
could AJAX for. The Dining Halls on the
entire line are now under the immediate
management Of the company and we'll de~
serve the popularity they have obtained as
the best in the country.
