A Small BOYS Painful Discovery.

81 don't altogether like this young
man Millikin who comes to see you so
often. hear that he is nothing but q
poor dry-goods clerk" is what the
head of the family said TO his daughter
one day at the dinner table.
"Hc is very nice young gentle
man." replied the daughter, "besides
he is something more than n poor dry
goods clerk. He gets q large salary,
and is manager of one of the depart
ments, and expects some day to have
an interest in the business.
Il hope he may" responded the old
man, "but he strikes me as q very
flippant, impertinent young person,
and in my opinion he should be sat
down upon. :"
"Well 1 have invited him to take tea
with us this evening" said the daugh-
ter. land L hope you will treat him
politely at least. You will find him q
very different person from what you
suppose him to be"
"Oh, I'll treat him politely enough"
he said.
That evening Mr.. Millikin appeared
ut supper, and made most favorable
IMPRESSION upOH luc Olu SeHileludu.
''He is n clever young fellow after all, ="
he thought. II have done him an in
justice"
1t was just here thatBobby spoke out.
Bobby was well-meaning little boy,
but too talkative.
Papa" he ventured, ''you know
what you said to-day at dinner about
Mr.. Millikin that he was an impertinent
young man and ought to be sat down
upon"
"Silence, sir!' shouted the father,
swallowing mouthful of hot potato.
But the little fellow wouldn't silence.
'Its all right" he continued, con-
fidentially, but in whisper loud
enough to be heard out doors, "he has
been sat down upon. Sister sat down
on him last night for two hours"
After this the dinner went on more
quietly, owing to Bobby's sudden and
very jerky departure. philadelphia

Beautiful Heads of Hair.

"How do you keep your little boys
hair such beautiful golden shade?'
asked a reporter of fashionable New
York lady.
"Why, that is the natural color, "
said the lady somewhat Indignantly, as
she twined long golden curl over her
finger.
"But doesn't his hair grow darker as
he grows olderp" asked the reporter.
II have heard that some mothers can
keep that bright gold in their chldren's
hair all the time"
Eyes" assented the lady, ''that is
so. l kept the color in my little girls
hair until she was Is, and then she had
enough vanity TO take care of it her
self. :"
"How did you do it?" asked the re.
porter.
''Her hair was very fine and long
when she was years old, but it began
to turn dark; so every other day wash
| ed IL in soda and common soap, and
when it was dry brushed it thoroughly
and then curled it. Once week /
rubbed the scalp with raw egg"

''Your children have very beautiful
hair, said the reporter to lady who
sat in her drawing-room, with n hall
dozen children playing about her. All
of them but two had light-yellow OF
| golden hair, with bangs and curls.
yes" she replied. "Thosc two
| little children with short hair are my
| sisters. wouldn't have a child about
| me unless it had pretty hair; but my
sister thinks differently. Teddy, the
boy, insisted on having his hair cut
when he was 6, and he had the most
beautiful yellow hair, just like spun
silk; and then Flora, the little girl,
| cried to have her hair cut, to be like
Teddy. My sister says it makes boy
more manly to have short hair, but for
my part don't see any necessity OF
being manly at g."
''How do you keep your children
hair so pretty?"

it up in curl papers every night Their

A lady living on Fifth avenue has q

very yellow hair floating over hel

asked her if she did not possess very
unusual style of beauty.
20, no." she replied; "but l bleach
her hair. am partial to dark eyes
and fair hair, so keep her hair bleach

"How do you accomplish it?" asked
the reporter.
II wash it in lemon-juice once O
week, and the acid makes it light. My
other cfildRen have all b ack hair, and
l keep it cropped close to their heads,
but Ethel is the plainest of all of them,
so L thought it was well to give her
some special advantage"

curls cut off this warm weather." said
the reporter to Brooklyn lady.

President Arthur's excursion to the

foreigners to take part ID the opening
of Yellowstone Park, and the compile.
ton of the Northern Pacific railroad hat
directed attention to the wonderful re-
gion in the Northwest, which is as yet

tai roads, connecting the Pacific with
the. Mississippi valley and the Atlantic
States. There are others under way,
aud before five years are over the trav.
eler from the east will have a choice OF
some six different routes by which to
reach the Pacific Ocean. At no pre-
| vious period in our history has the pep
| ulation and wealth of our country been
Increasing with SO much rapidity. lt Is
believed that our actual population by
the close of this year will be fully 56,-
O00, 900. Our increase is over 2,OO0,OOO
per annum. 1t follows that the land OF
the United States, being a fixed guam
tity, Is steadily and largely increasing
in value. Attention is called to the
fact that wealthy foreigners, including
many English n0blemen, are purchasing
large estates in this country. They are
monopolizing sections in the far West,
which are daily becoming more yalua-
BILE, due to the increase of population
and wealth of the country. A Tribune
correspondent tells of an English lord
whose friends criticised his large out
lays for American land. Why" he re-
piled, I am looking ont fer my chill
dren. Under the Gladstone laws es-
tates in Ireland have become worthless
to the landlord. The sane result, ]
fear, will follow in England. American
law recognizes the absolute right OF the
owner to the soil.n Should not ths
American people however, do something
to check speculation in wild land In
this country? The English nObleman
or other Spectator purchases land IL
large quantities and holds it as IN in
yestment. The neighborhood becomes
populons aud gives value to the sol
thus held without help from the foreign
owner. He thus gets the right to taz
the native American of the next genera
ton by selling out at high figures. Tbs
California constitution, to break up ths
large estates which had created artid'
cial deserts, enacted that wild land!
should be taxed at the same rate as i'm
proved property, and it certainly dos
not seem just to levy all the taxes or
those who improve their property and
who thus make valuable the adjoining
wild lands owned BY the speculator.
