Hayes Three-Dollar Watch.

The Cincinnati Enquirer tells new
story about Rutherford B. Hayes
meanness. During the most Of the
four years he occupied the White
House, the Chief Executive carried
nickle- plated watch, which he took
special delight in showing. The Pre-
sident was always plain and simple in
his dress, butit was not expected that
y man who drew q salary of $50, 1000
per year would 20 to the extreme Of
wearing 3 three dollar watch. He
seemed to realize this fact, and any
astonishment maniftesed amused him.
In answer to look of surprise he
would say 4 think that is pretty
plain watch for q President Of the
United States to carry; but it is good
American make the latter fact SEEM
ing to conteract the cheapness of the
article.
There is partial excuse for wear
ing such a watch, he would say. he
was compelled to do it through econ
omy. Almost weekly deputati"n
of Western Indians called upon him,
always bringing presents of some kind
to the Great Father. Of course, he
was expected to give something cheap
and at the same time acceptable.
Watches were a novelty to the In
dians, and to present chief with a
watch which he himself had been
carrying galwaysimpressed him greatly.
Having discovered this, and not car
ing to distribute gold watches or even
silver ones, he hit upon the expedient
of buying nickel watches at thirtysix
dollars q dozen, and always made it
convenient to have one with him in
case of an pmeropncv

A Wowan's Hair.

Mrs. Bladen, writing in Taggart's
Sunday Times, says that when wo-
man is overheated and tired, fixing
her hair which means letting it fall
loose, combing and rearranging it, is
more refreshing process than even
bathing the face. When the hair is
let down, some sort Of interior weight
seems to pass off from the head. What
is strange, however, is, that WHEN made
smooth and twisted. and again fasten-
ed tightly, there isa still greater sensa.
ton of clearness and freedom insid,
the brain. 1t is an illustration of
blowing hot and cold with the same
breath-that is to say, two opposite
processes produce a similar result.
Here is all experiment the fair reader
may try for herself. Ifshe takes down
her hair and lets 1t fall about her
shoulders, the first sensation is that of
GOODNESS; but if allowed to hang loose,
the heat of the head increases very
rapidly, and the tighter the hair is
twisted or plated the sooner this heat
is relieved.
If woman's hair is free from oils
and pomades, and she combs it on
winters might with rubber comb,
electric sparks will ny out, and a
cracking sound be emitted. If, with
the hair hanging in this condition, she
stands on a chair, the four legs of
which are placed in ordinary glass
tumblers, and points her finger at a
gas burner, she can light the gas with
her touch. There will be slight re-
port, and sharp, tingling sensation
in the end of the finger from which
the electric spark passes.
Now, if her hair is dressed-that is
to say, smoothed with oils and pomades,
and tightly twisted--she cannot light
the gas by pointing the tip of her fin
ger at it, unless the electricity of her
system is excited by friction. If she
wears silk dress and has it rubbed
with fur muff, she can accomplish
the feat, which would be great saw
ing Of matches, but at the expense of
a great deal of trouble.
