He got the wood, an sed, as he was

here they are"
''Nice shape, too," sez he.
"Well, l can't cook 'thout wood"

So one day along comes a peddler

l told him.
"Where's the money % sez he.
"I've got it," says l.

CHARACTERISTIC HANDWRITING
Good Advice for the Boys.

Whoever has noticed the Business
College writing-master's fac-similies of
the handwriting of his pupils, showing
what it was when they commenced to
take lessons, and what it was after so
many lessons, could not fail to be pain
fully impressed with the fact that it was
reduced to so machine-like a resem-
blance to that of the writing master,
that the specimens furnished by one
hundred pupils would not vary hair
line or a sweeping curve from each other
The Improved" signatures of these
pupils, as thus displayed in the adver-
tisements, are as monotonouS in their
lack of individuality as the photographs
of SO many John Cinnamon. Ones
handwriting ought to have an individ-
uality all his own, to be recognized on
sight like his face, or his old hat.
The following sensible criticism from
the LOnd0n Spectator we commend to
the attention of boys whose hands have
not yet been spoiled by the professional
writing master:
"Tutors and governesses have all
caught upa system from the professional
writing masters and the professional
writing masters are all dominated by
two ideas, which are radically false
They all think that copper plate writ
ing the special hand of writing masters
and bank clerks, is good writing, which
it is not, being devoid of character, far
too regular in form, and from the null
tiplicity of fine upstrokes not easy to
read and they all believe that certain
mechanical motions, if carefully taught
will produce clear writing. They will
not, and they do not.
'Let the boy" says an English writer,
"hold his pen as he likes and make his
strokes as he likes, and write at the pace
he likes-hurry, of course, being dis
couraged-but insist strenuously and
persistently that his copy shall be legi-
BILE, shall be clean and shall approach
the good copy set before him-namely,
a well-written letter, not rubbish text
on a single line, written as nobody but
writing master ever did ,or will write
till the worlds end. He will make
muddle at first, but he will soon make
passable imitation of his copy, and ulti-
mately develop a characteristic and
strong hand, which may be bad or good,
but will not be either meaningless, un~
decided or illegible. This hand will
alter, of course, very greatly as he grows
older"

A RIGHT UP-AND-DoWN WOMAN.
From the Detroit Free Press.

From the Detroit Free Press.
For once in the history of the Union
Depot its roof has sheltered a woman
who knew just where she wanted to 90,
the train she was to take, the hour for
departure, the fare, and the time of
arrival. She appeared to be about forty
five years of age, and she had fiat feet,
a peaked nose, and voice which didn't
admit of any argument. No notice
might have been taken of her among the
scores of others had she not inquired the
way to the waiting room, and added,
'"Thank ye, though it's your business to
answer all questions ! That's all l want
to ask of you, and you can continue
your promenade!"
"Going out on the train ?" queried
the officer.
"Would lug a big carpet bag down
here and stand around in the cold if
wasn't7" she sharply answered.
"Going South, | spose ?" he queried,
as she moved away. rs
"Spose away, then I" she snapped,
as she lifted her satchel. m i.b
Entering the ladies' waiting room,
she found the seats all taken. A portly
man reading paper and taking heap
of comfort, occupied one of the seats,
and, hating before him, she dropped
her satchel with an awful thud, and said:
"Now you git right outer here This
place is for ladies and you are a great
big fat man and orter be ashamed of
yourself for crowding in among us p
"I-ah-ah-!' he began, when she
interrupted
"Then stand up Ny legs are tired
walking down here, and I'm not going
to stand around while you sit down %
"Certainly-allow me---ah-yes /"
he stammered, as he rose up and gave
her the seat.
"That's more man like, she growled
as she settled down, "but it seems to
me that if 1 was you I'd feel sort O.
sneaking in here! The more l see of
fat men the worse l hate 'em."
The fat man had a wife and two chill
dren in there, but he wasn't minute
getting through the door. For the next
fifteen minutes the old lady sat very
erect and stared around her, and then
she started out to get her ticket, lug
ging her satchel on her hip. A boot
black espied her and called out:
"Shall 1 carry yer baggage wagon,
Aunt Sarey?"
"Boy!" she replied, as she dropped
the satchel and reached for his collar,
81 haven't got any baggage wagon, and
in the next, I'm not Aunt Sarey to any
body If you want your heels jerked
over the roof of this depot you just give
me the least bit of sass !"
Scuse me, but don't pinch hard,"
said the boy, and he squirmed out of
her clutch and retreated a safe distance
to look at her and rejoice that he was
not her son.
She walked up to the ticket window,
put down lot of silver, and said:
81 want ticket to Jackson, and l
don't want any talk about it 1 know
why I'm going, how long want to stay
and who I'm going to see"
Her ticket was handed her without a
word, and as she passed on to the gate
she said to the official there:
"Tend right to your business! There's
no occasion for your asking where I'm
going or if I've got ticket!"
"Pass on, madam" he replied.
"Don't try to fatter me !" she called
back. "Your business is to see that
passengers git on the right train, and
the less you madam around the better it
will be for you %

For The UNION.
MIDNIGHT WINDS.
BY BESSIE ALLEN.

Oh midnight winds, that softly blow,
Sweet and low,
What is your mission here below,
would know?
Is it to watt above life's stream,
Here and there,
The tale of loves first fair young dream,
Wish or prayer?
Is it to speed the dying night,
Passing away?
Herald the morning fair and bright
Of coming day?
Is it to soothe some soul near lost,
Care oppressed,
Longing for home while tempest tossed
On oceans breast?
Is it to cool some fevered brain,
Aching and wild,
Weary and crazed by grief or pain,
By ye beguiled?
Is it to waken thoughts and dreams,
Or hopes and fears,
And kindle flames and ftful CLEANS
Of bygone years?
How varied must your mission be
Ger land and sea
Z Ye ever shall remain to me
\ A mystery;
For ye, know, are ever fraught
With strangest pow'r
To fill the mind with wild, weird thought
At midnight hour.

SUBJECTS FOR THOUGHT.

The handspring of mans actions is
hidden from view, as is the handspring
of watch.
He who does his best, however little,
is always to be distinguished from him
who does nothing.
Honest worth, clothed in poverty,
often trembles upon approaching vice
throned in wealth.
A false friend is like the shadow of a
sun-dial-appearing in sunshine and
vanishing in shade.
To tell men that they cannot help
themselves is to fling them into reckless
ness and despair.
If every person would be half as good
as he expects his neighbor to be what a
heaven this world would be.
Fear of punishment and hope of re-
ward moves towards and sycophants.-
Virtue is independent of either.
Never be above your calling or be
afraid to appear dressed in accordance
with the business you are performing.
No man is more nobly born than an
other, unless he is born with better
abilities and more amiable disposition.
Pack your cares in as small compass
as you can, so that you can carry them
yourself, and not let them annoy Others.
The pleasantest things in the world
are pleasant thoughts, and the greatest
art in life is to have as many of them as
possible.
Grief knitS two hearts in closer bonds
than happiness ever can, and common
suferings are far stronger links than
common joys.
Behind the snowy loaf is the mill
wheel, behind the mill the wheat field,
on the wheat field falls the sunlight,
above the sun is God.
Temptation is fearful word. 1t in
dicates the beginning of probable
series of infinite evils. 1t is the ringing
of an alarm bell, whose melancholy
sounds may reverberate through eternity.
Home is not a name, nor a form, nor
a routine. 1t is spirit, presence and
a principle. Material and method will
not and cannot make it. 1t must get
its light and sweetness from those who
inhabit it, from flowers and sunshine.
Show me the man you honor. | know
that by symptoms, better than by any
other, what kind of man you are your
self; for you show me there what your
ideal of manhood is-what kind of a
man you long expressly to be.

FANCY HAIR.
The Demand for Pure White Hair and
Tresses that Resemble Virgin Gold.


Tresses that Resemble Virgin Gold.
There is at present scarcity of fancy
human hair in the market. The scarcest
hair is pure white, and its value is con-
stantly increasing, and if it is unusually
long, that is, from four to five feet, the
dealer can get almost his own price,
while if it is of ordinary length it is
worth from SIS to 500 an ounce. The
fact that pure white hair is the court
coiffure in Europe keeps the demand for
it very high. Moreover, it is much
priced by American women whose own
hair is white, and who desire to enrich
its folds, and white hair is held to give
certain distinction to the wearer. There
is no fancy market for gray hair. 1t is
too common. 1t is used to work into
wigs of persons who are growing old
What is described as golden hair, is
either washed-out pale red, or a dull
blonde. The gold color SO much valued
has no relation to red hair, except in
vividness of its coloring. The demand
for the virgin gold color is great in the
capitals of Europe. A woman who gets
a coiffure of it is considered fortunate.
A young Brooklyn lady of much
beauty possesses a splendid wig, which
she chanced to find in a shop in Nice.
She was blonde, but had ascanty sup
ply of dull hair. 1t did not take her
an instant to decide to have her hair cut
short and wear the wig.
There are four type colors of hair
white, blond, black and brown-and
each of these has been sub-divided into
sixteen different shades. The commoneSt
types are black and brown, and these are
cheap. Golden brown is much in favor,
as is pure black, or what is called blue
black, or whose natural hair, streaked
with gray, shows in contrast with the
false covering. Next to pure white hair
the demand is for hair of the color Of
virgin gold. There are many braids
made of hair colored to meet the de-
mand with certain preparations, but
they prove unsatisfactory. Many fool
ish women have sought to change the
color of their own tresses, but they have
uniformly repented the attempt. Afine
suit of hair of the purest blonde type
will sell from $500 to $500. 1t is said
that the Empress Eugene paid 1000
francs an ounce for a braid Of golden
hair that exactly matched her own.
The largest supply of hair comes from
France, Switzerland and Germany. The
country fairs are attended by agents of
merchants in London, Paris and Vienna,
who ingratiate themselves into the favor
of young girls and persuade them to sell
their tresses for glass ornaments or other
gewgaws. Only at intervals is prize
like perfect suit of golden hair obtained,
and it is said that there are orders ahead
in the shops of Paris and London for all
the golden hair that can be obtained in
the next seven years. When a stock of
hair is collected by travelling agents, it
is assorted, washed, and cleaned. Then
each hair is drawn through the eye OF
needle and polished. When the stock
is ready for the market in Europe, the
nobility is permitted to make the first
choice.

RG~ While the advantages of having
ice in summer for domestic and dairy
purposes are generally conceded there
are many farms, and indeed whole
neighborhoods, where such thing as
an ice-house is not seen. Why is it that
intelligent farmers will forego the en-
joyment which the possession of plenty
of ice affords, and content themselves
with lower price for their butter, when
with little trouble and expense both
these advantages may be secured?

ANOTHER MIXED CASE.

In an article a few days since we Gllu-
ded to some of the novel features of
the contest now being waged in the
hOuse of representatives. in behalf If
Mr., Mackey, the republican from South
Carolina. Hardly less peculiar is a case
from the fourth district of Alabama.
Hon. Charles III. Shelley is the sitting
member from that district, and he is
democrat, In 1880 his opponent was J.
q. Smith, republican, Shelly receiving
9,30l votes against $500 cast for Smith.
This latter gentleman, however, was by
no means disposed to yield. He institu-
ted contest, alleging the usual state
ments so common when southern re-
publican tries to oust democrat. The
house committee on elections took up
the case and investigated 1t. The re-
suit was measurably foregone conclu-
sion. As in the cases of Lynch, Mack
ey, Lowe and others, they decided
Smith was entitled to the seat and the
case was booked to come up at an early
day. But q higher hand had Mr..
Smiths destinies in charge. Within
few hours after the committee decided
in his favor Mr.. Smith
died and went-let rs hope
to scenes far happier than the halls of
congress, even as sitting member
Thus the case stands and the question
Is what will be done about the seat
The committee says Smith was entitled
to it. True, Smith is dead, but the
cloud remains over Shelley's title, There
are surmises that when the fight now
progressing Is over the republicans viii
take vote on this SmIth-Shelley case,
and either declare it settled by Smith
death and leave Shelley i'll peaceful pos
session, or oust him as Il man who was
not elected, declare the seat vacant and
order the fourth Alabama district to
hold a new election. This session Of
is really prolific of compA-
Gated cases, the ones from South Caro-
lima and Alabuma being the most
notable.
