The Chinese farmhouse is curious
looking abode Usually it is sheltered
with groves of feathery bamboo and
thick-spreading banyans. The walls
are of clay or wood, and the interior
OF the house consists of one main room,
extending from the floor to the tiled
roof, with closet-loOking apartments IN
the corners for sleeping rooms. There
is a sliding window on the ioof, made
of cut oyster shells, arranged in rows,
while the side windows are mere
wooden shutters The floor is the
bare earth, where at nightfall there
often gathers together a miscellaneous
family of dirty children, fowls, ducks,
pigeons and litter of pigs, all living
together in delightful harmony. In
some districts infested By marauding
bands houses are strongly fortified
with high walls. containing apertures
for firearms, and protected by moat,
crossed by rude drawbridge.

A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.

An Article that Will Make the Bald and
Gray Rejoice.
Many of the hair dressings Of the day are
excellent, but the great mass of the stuffs sold
for promoting the growth and bringing back
the original color, are mere humbugs, while
not few are pernicious in their effects upon
the scalp and hair. The falling out of the hair,
the Accommodations Of dandrun, and the pre-
mature change in color are all evidences OF q
diseased condition of the scalp and the glands
which nOurish the hair. To arrest these causes
the article used must possess medical as well
as chemical virtues and the change must be-
gin under the scalp TO be OF permanent and
lasting benefit. Petroleum oil is the article
which is made to work such extraordinary
results; but it is after the best refined article
has been chemically treated, and completely
deodorized, that it is in proper condition for
the toilet and receives the name of CarbOline.
It was in far-off Russia that the effects of pc
troleum upon the hair were first observed; a
government officer having noticed that par
TALLY bald-headed servant of his, when trim
ming the lamps, had q habit of wiping his
oil-besmeared hands in his scanty locks, and
the result was, in few months, much finer
head of black, glossy hair than he ever had
before The oil was tried on horses and cattle
that had lost their hair from cattle plague, and
the results were marvellous. The names and
tails of horses, which had fallen out were
completely restored in few weeks. These
experiments were heralded to the world, but

use of refined petroleum as dressing for the
hair. But the skill of one of our chemists has
overcome the difficulty, and he has succeeded
in perfecting Carboline, rendering it as dainty
as the famous eau de cologne. Experiments
on the human hair and skin were attended
with the most astonishing results. A few APP
plications, where the hair was thin and falling,
gave remarkable tone and vigor to the scalp
and the hair. Every particle of dandIuff disap-
pears on the first or second dressing, all cuta-
neous disease of the skin and scalp are rapidly
and permanently healed, and the liquid seems
to penetrate to the root of the hair at once. 1t
is well known that the most beautiful colors
are made from petroleum. and by some mys-
FERROUS operation of nature the use of this arti-
Gle gradually imparts beautiful light brown
color to the hair, which by continued use deep
ems to black. The color remains permanent.
and the change is SO gradual that the most
intimate friends can scarcely detect its pro-
gress In a word, it is the most wonderful
discovery of the age, and well calculated to
make the prematurely bald and gray rejoice

We find the following in a New
York letter. A woman of great wealth
ellis me that she is compelled to give
ap dwelling which has newly cost
about 100000 ON account of the sue
.essful vengeance of q serving maid.
The mistress is old, and as nervous
and notional as only persons of for
tunes can afford to be. A small idea
completely fills her weakened and use
less mind, and annoyances that would
hardly irritate a person of good mental
poise become terrible to her. The SER
want is one of those young, pretty,
velvetty French creatures who are
now fashionable in New York's luxu-
rious households, especially as attend
ants upon rich women. She was dis
charged, for some misdoing. but was
TO remain until the end of her month.
1t was in this interval that she invent
ed retaliation which has proved the
most ingenious and effective of any
that ever heard of, excepting thu sc
involving the perpetrator in danger of
punishment. The house had a COM
handing overlook of Central Park, and
the girl knew that those fields were
dotted over with places where suicides
had been committed. No week passes
without at least one voluntary depart
ure from the park for eternity. The
lakes are handy for drowning. the
trees for hanging, and the secluded
bowers for an uninterrupted use of
pistol or knife. 1t is question with
me whether the self-murderers all 90
there for the purpose deliberately. Is
it not likely that the leisure of the I'M
fortunate, when spent aside from the
hustle of city business, becomes so
lonesome that death seems preferable
The French maid went into no such
abstruse consideration of the subject.
She was aware that her mistress was
abnormally affected with anything
weird or tragic. So she told her of the
numerous suicides, pointed out from
the window many spots where this
poor devil had hanged himself, where
that one died by drowning, and where
the other had blown his brains away,
she added. with shrug and shudder,
that she fancied she could see,O'nights,
the ghosts of the self-slain haunting
the places of their crimes. The old
woman was Mortified. She could not
look at the park, which had previously
been solace to her eyes, without des-
crying the points which the girl had
invested with gruesome interest. She
fondly hoped that the wretch had lied,
but on sending man to the newspa-
per Office, to make an examination If
the files, she found that the tragedies
had in the main been correctly located.
After months of mental torture she
had gone to Newport for the summer,
and will never return to her house
alongside Central Park.

day as q witness before a sub-commit-
tee of the Senate committee ON eNpen-
ditures of public money, and was ex-
amined in relation TO the recently dis
covered frauds in the bureau of medi-
cine and surgery. The amount of these
frauds committed by means of false
vouchers for goods never delivered,
and extending from June 2l, 1888, to
Jan. 25, 1884, he stated to be about
$4,000, and were made against the
Naval hospital fund, doubtless for the
reason that this fund, being derived
from the assessment of twenty cents
month upon each of the officers and
men of the navy, was less likely to be
closely looked after than the regular
annual appropriations for the bureau.
Frauds in this bureau, moreover, seem
to have boon made possible largely of
emitting the wise precaution exercised
in other bureaus, of having a receiving
officers certificate upon the voucher
itself.
In the course of the examination Mr.
Chandler said: 81 don't wish to shirk
any responsibility that belongs to me.

withstanding these frauds began long

Rumors of cabinet changes continue.
Postmaster General Gresham is marked
for early slaughter. The President has
been made to believe that Gresham
acted in bad faith during the last can
vass. However the President does not
intend to show resentment in too
marked degree. Gresham will be re-
tired from the cabinet to fill the place
made vacant by the retirement of
United States Judge Drummond, of
Chicago. Folger is looking about for
a comfortable place. He hopes to see
Joe Bradley retired from the Supreme
Court before the close of the Arthur
Administration, and he further hopes
that the President will appoint him.
Chandler will remain up to the very
asst and if Blaine is elected will expect
to hold his seat in the Cabinent on ac-
count of his boiling Arthur at the very
last in his refusal to go to Chicago to
take charge of the administration forces
there. Chandler tried hard to go
against his old master, Blaine, but his
spirit failed him at the very last This
too, was great disappointment to Ar
thur as he had calculated on Chandler
political generalship.
The results of the recent change in
letter postage cannot be definitely es-
timated until the expiration of the ifs
cal year in which the new two cent
rate went into operation, which will be
October LIST, but it is generally believed
that the revenue of the department will
show considerable increase, or such
an increase at least as to justify the late
reduction, and possibly to warrant q
still further cheapening of rates.
