Old and New Hair Treatment.

The arrangement of WomanS hair, which has so much to do with their 3D. pearance. has undergone more changes during the last quarter of century than the style of their dress. Skirts from six to ten yards in circumference, gagged in to pointed waists, wing sleeves with full caps at the arm holes, and other fash ions in garments at that time do not look as awkward at present as the sleek hair covering the ears and puffed out full behind them, and the immense braids which made the head look like basket in the back-the popular way of arrangement twenty-five years ago. What a metamorphosis in woman's head from that time. The hair is now made light, dry and fluffy, that it may be crimped and frizzed and curled. A little ''Betty knot'' is all that is requisite in the back, where the many-stranded braids were so luxuriantly coiled or the cushion-like chignon was pinned on.
 That was the period of pomades. when sleek and well-plastered locks were shiny with grease, and the hair was made heavy with oil It was then part of a housewife's duty to beat up lard, soften it with castor oil, perfume it with bergamot, and keep the jars of the toilet table filled with this mixture. A lump the size of 8 hickory nut was but small amouptwith which to anoint the head dailysTS So freely was this un- guent used that the average head was soaked with grease. Night-caps were necessary to preserve pillow-slips, and caps were kept by the most tidy house. keepers to place on the heads of guests when they sat near the wall; otherwise, circular mark of grease was left upon it to remind them of their visitor.
 The first innovation appeared in the form of a ''tricopherous," which was 8 mixture of alcohol and oil. It became popular for hair dressing, because it was more cleanly than the solid grease of pomatum. After this ''invigorators' of all kinds followed, each one contain ing less oily matter. Finally the ''blonde style'' set in, and as grease made the hair dark and heavy and is an enemy to crimps, all the lotions for hair-dress- ing were compounded without the oily ingredients, and the day of dirty heads passed. With pomatum nightcaps went out of fashion. and although there is much complaint in this age of .'frowsy" heads, they are preferable to locks sat urated with strongly-scented grease.- l NcU York Commercial AdUertiSer.

Pickle Mollie.
BY JENNIE E. T. DOVE.

I think all day of Mollie, and dream of her al
 night, Yet I'm never quite contented even when she's
 in my sight; For 'tIs, "Ah, I love you, Jamier' and 'tis, An,
 l love you uotI'' Until, pretty, fckle Mollie, wish you were
 forgot. She's fair and lovely creature, the sweetest
 of her kind, If she d only be consistent, nc'er fault could
 find; But 'tis, ''Ah, I love you, Jamier' and 'tis,
 "Ah, 1 love you notr' Till swear, o fickle Mollie, wish you were
 forgot. My heart is tossed this way and that, my feel
 ings ebb and flow, Till, wild with joy and mad with pain, know
 not where to go; For tis still, "I love you, Jamie!' and tis still,
 II love you noti'' Till VOW that dckle Mollie by me shall be for
 got. o! Mollie, Mollie, Mollie lovel why will you
 tease me SO? For you I never can forget, your love can ne CT
 forego: And though you love me, Mollie, and though
 you love me not, Full well you know, Mollie dear, you'll nev-
 CT be forgot.

SDoilinr Maud S.

"I suppose Vanderbilt has right to do as he pleases with his stock" said gentleman who had lately spent week or two in New York, and who takes an interest in fast horses, to Herald representative yesterday, ''but the American public generally will be sorry to learn of the manner in which he is managing that great favorite, Maud S. I saw him driving her few days ago, and it was clearly evident that he was spelling her. He drives her like Jehu, no matter what the condition of the roads may be, and pulls and hauls the mare about much as hack-driver might be expected to do with less royal team. I was sorry to see it. I was told that he was not only spelling her gait, but spelling her temper as well; and you know what an excellent reputation Maud used to have on account of her kind disposition. l would rather see Vanderbilt stick to his railroad stocks" -CleUeLdnd Herald

A "Posti1" by Martin Luther.

We accidentally discovered in this city, not long since. ''postir' of Martin Luther-that is, series of sermons written by him to be read to congrega- tions by ministers who were not cons potent to prepare sermons for them- selves. It was published in 1532 by L. Lufft, of Wittenberg, who, by the way, was the printer of all Luther's works during the lifetime of that reformer.-- The book is composed of three volumes bound in one, the binding being full calf with fancy brass corners and brass clasps. The binding, either from age or stain, has very dark brown mahog- any color; and, although three hundred and fifty years old, carries it's age light ly, being well preserved through all it's changes and mishaps. It is printed from old German text in wooden type, and profusely illustrated with highly-il- being done by hand with very bright colors and gold and silver leaf. To us the most astonishing feature about the i book is the fact that these colors seem to have retained all the brightness which they had when put on-not faded in the least. The same is true, too, of the large fancy initial letters at the beginning of each sermon. The gold leaf was used principally in forming the halo about the head of the Saviour, or on the urns and other vessels used about the temple. It was also employed in decorating the garments of the high priests and of the wealthier classes represented. These garments are said to be of styles worn l by Germans in Luther's time, and make a very curious display.
 Viewing the engraving as 8 work of art, simply, it is amusing to note how literal the artist has been in his inter- pretation and illustration of passages of scriptures. For instance, the illustra- tration of the passage which speaks of casting the beam out of our own eye be- fore attempting to pluck the note from our brothers. The Saviour is repre- sented as directing the attention of his disciples to man at some distance who is about to pick from the eye of another something which looks like a very small pin, while from his own eye great stick of timber projected diagonally toward heaven.
 The devil. when cast out in one inc stance, is shown as 8 sort of flying non- descript with bats wings, a vulture's beak, and mammoth claws, these last two appendages being painted black, while the body of the thing is green.
 This ''postir' came into the hands of John Hartman. an old German, who lives in Amelith, this county. He pur- chased it in Bavaria, Germany, of 8 Tyrolese family, for the Insignificant sum of ten cents, in 1850. He himself is a perfect bookworm, and we are told that in his log-cabin at Amelith he has old books of great value, they all being of a religious and moral character. Bay City Press.

A Druggists' Love,

It was evening, when youth with ''penny-royar' step slowly meandered down a ''serpentaria' walk, apparently communirg with the sweet spirits of nitre.' "'Aconite' miss her." he whis- pered in stentorian tones; Il 'aloes' could depend upon her. O Cupid, how bitter sweetr Hark! what was that?- Nothing but belated colt s-foot' borne upon the 'squilly' breeze. Ten miles I 'camphor' to see her, to gaze into her 'glycerine' eyes. Oh. why should I sulphur thus?" and with an agonized, prolonged, soul-stirring, concentrated ginger" cry of Bella Donna p Che was an Italian'') he recklessly threw him self into a ''fustic'' chair, and the clock boomed eight. An ethereal" ''chlo- roformic'' step gently approached, a lissome figure with face of ''cold creamy complexion, nearer, nearer, and the clock boomed nine. The dis tant barking of dog mingles harmo- niously with ''wild cherry. /" Peruvian" and ''elm" bark, ravlshing to the senses. He starts up with glad chops, :" rushes forward and soon his lips are ground glued" to hers. My darlingr' he mutters, "'Iodide of potash had you failed me, but now hopes, doubts no 'morphia.'

MT. Story's Pet Corn.
The Secret of the Late Earthquake in the Times
 Office

Office
 Mr. W. F. Storey sat in his Green Lake cottage with an expression of deep disgust upon his usually placid and dig nified face. He had been silently con- trasting his present humble surround ings with the prospective grandeur of his winter palace on the boulevard, and had become discontented. Finally, as if seeking by change of position to turn his thoughts in another direction, he impatiently threw one leg over the other. As he did so his most cherished corn came in contact with a chair. It diverted his mind from the contempla- ton of his furniture, but the effect was not what he had anticipated, and he lifted up his voice and gave utterance to his sentiments.
 "Ouchr'
 "His wife, who sat in an adjoining room dallying with some needle-work, hastened to his side.
 What is the matter, my dear?" she asked in sympathetic tones.
 A rapidly uttered and somewhat dis jointed sentence, made up principally of blanks, explained the situation. With wifely ycommiseration she soothed his troubled spirit, and intimated that she had seen in the Times an advertise ment of sure cure for corns.
 Bring me the Times. i She brought the paper at once, and handed it to him. He sat for some min utes contemplating with grave satisfac- ton the legend at the head of the first column of editorial: ''The Times; by w. F. Story" Then he began his search for the advertisement At the end of two hours he found it. It was not an advertisement. It was merely 8 local paragraph reciting somebody's ex- perience with refractory corn and ad- vising everybody else to go and do like wise. The treatment was simple and warranted to be effectual. The patient was directed to stick a needle into the coin until the point touched the quick; then apply lighted taper to the other end of the needle and hold it there until the point, buried in the corn. had be- come red hot. The result would be a blister, and with the blister the corn would die and drop of, to return no more.
 MT. Storey learned tie directions by heart and determined to try the experi- hiOAS AAO uiee VI J ie, anu AOt wv 4Oh S days thereafter sat with his foot in a sling suffering the most intense agony. Then he spoke.
 "Wife," said he, ''this is simply dam- nable."
 ''Yes, dear" she replied. T know it is, but you should not use such an ex- pression in the presence of lady"
 "Humph! Get me telegraph blank" :" Like a dutiful helpmate she obeyed, and he wrote as follows:

The Possible Power of Railroads in Poli-
 tics.

Just how heavy the weight the rail- roads of this country might throw into political balance may be approxima- ted by considering that there are in the employ of railway corporations 1,600,0 900 men, who with few exceptions, are citi- zens in the prime of life. They consti- tute nearly one-sixth of the voting pop ulation of the Republic. The power to wield any considerable portion of so mighty force would render it's possess sor well-nigh independent of laws and of the men who are supposed to make them. Philadelphia Record.
