ayes" said a Monroe street barber. as he
quickly tossed a blazing gas Jet over the head
of n custom, smuggling the hair off as ac-
curately as it could have been clipped by a
pair of scissors, "the latest craze in the ton
serial art is the smuggling process. The
method usually adopted in large shops is to
use a Movable drop light. The comb is
passed through the hair, and the ends are
burned off by the flame of gas, which is
turned down low"
"What is the particular benefit claimed to
be derived from this processf'
at is claimed that it prevents the hair
from changing color, and restores to its orig
inal color faded and colorless hair. So popu-
lar has the smuggling process become that
every first-class barber-shop is prepared to
remove hair either by the scissors or by burn
ing. 1t is claimed that in singeing the hair
the ends are Theoretically sealed, thus pre-
venting the escape os the vital principle, or
fluid of the hair at the ends, just as the seal
ing of a thermometer by the blow-pipe pre-
vents the escape Of the mercury, and the
action of outside agencies"
1.-THE secret of the preventative influence
On the hair of singeing vas discovered in
France in n very singular manner. Some
years ago n terrible gas explosion occurred in
Paris, and among the casualties reported was
that of an elderly gentleman who, upon
%alighting after having leon blown into the
air an unknown distance, discovered that his
hair had been burned off close to his head.
What was his surprise to find a few weeks
later a luxuriant growth of hair where be-
fore had been scattered a few gray and faded
tufts OF what looked more like frost killed
bunch grass than healthy hair. Acting upon
the hint afforded by this well authenticated
C ase as to the effects of smuggling off the hair,
the process of smuggling vas adopted in a few
Of the shaving parlors Of Paris. The process
speedily became SO popular that it was gen.
orally adopted. In Boston this method of
treating hair has been in vogue for several
years. So far as l know, however this is the
first season of its use in anything like a gen
eral way in Chicago"

A Buffalo janitor kicked n can of nitro,
glycerine, and right then, for the first time
in his life, became a really active man, in
a%ugurating proceedings by turning a double
somersault and knocking out a hodful OF
mortar and brick with the back Of his head
at one end Of the room. He continued the
performance by kicking down the stove,
pulling down the chandelier, and blowing up
the plaster with his nose. When the nitro

Facilitating Congressional business.

Congressman O'Neill, of Missouri, has
evolved the following plan for facilitating
business in the house of representatives: AIN
the first place, lawyers must DO rendered in
eligible by a constitutional amendment to
election to congress. In the second place, all
speeches in the house must be limited to five
minutes. Every speech must be made on a
platform to be erected just in front of the
speakers desk. At the end of the five min
utes a little bell will tinkle. That will DO
warning number one. Then a little rub
Der ball will drop on the mans head. That
will DO warning number two. Then, without
further notice, a large cone will descend
from the ceiling, covering the man on the
platform completely from head to foot. or
course he will soon use up the oxygen in the
extinguisher, and then he must STOP"

Amer the Heat and burden OF Lies
Long, Weary Day.

Detroit Free Press.l
"She-was-a- good = wife to mel A
good wife, God bless herr
The words were spoken in trembling ac-
cents over n cofin-lid. The woman asleep
there had borne the heat and burden OF hfe's
long day, and no one had ever heard her
murmur; her hand was quick to reach out in
a helping grasp to those who fell by the way
side, and her feet were swift on err
rands of mercy; the heart of her
husband had trusted in her; he had left her
to long hours of solitude while he amused
himself in scenes in which she had no
part. When boon companions deserted him,
when tickle affection seltshly departed, when
pleasure palled, he went home and found her
waiting for him,
Come from your long, long rowing,
On life's sea so bleak and rough,
Come to me tender and loving
And L shall be blest enough"
That had been her love-song-always on
her lips or in her heart Children had been
born to them. She had reared them almost
alone-they were gonel Her hand had led
them to the uttermost edge of the morning
that has no noon. Then she had comforted
him, and sent him out strong and whole
hearted while she stayed at home and-cried.
What can a woman do but cryf-and trustl
Well, she is ut rest now. But she could
not die until he had promised to abear up,'
not to fret, but to remember how happy they
had been. Theyl Yes, it was even so. For
she was blest in giving, and he in receiving.
1t ives an equal partnership after ALI
Oh, mani man! Why not have told her so,
when her ears were not dulled by death
Why wait to say these words over a coffin
wherein lies a wasted, weary, gray-haired
woman, whose eyes have SO long held that
pathetic story of loss and suffering and pa
tent yearning, which so many women's
eyes r.'veal--to those who read. Why not
have made the wilderness in her heart bios,
som like the rose with the prodigality of
your lovef Now you would give worlds
were they yours to give-to see the tears of
joy your words would have once caused, be-
jeweling the closed windows of her soul. It
Is too late.
-We have carful thoughts for the stranger.
And SMILES for the sometime guest
But oft for own

Though we love our own the best"

Il view Of the strong effort which IL
being made to show that the official ac'
ton Of Gov. Cleveland has been mimic
al to the Catholics, while we deprecate
the introduction OF religion in politics,
Il is Just Ms well that we should set the
matter right. Ex.Uniied States Senator
Fraucis Herman. the only Catholic who
was ever elected to that body from the
State Of New York, and who was a deit-
gate to the Chicago Convention. comes
to the front with the following manly
and emphatic delivery, which disposes
Of all this ''rot;"
The Democratic party las made no
mistake this tim. IL Is the best and
strongest ticket that possibly could have
been nominated, and when ] say this
mean no disrespect to any OF the other
candidates. We had TO nominate man
who could carry New York State, and
Mr.. Cleveland, in my mind, Is the only
man who can do II. His record, though
a brief one, Ia one that we OF New York
State are proud Of. He has been the
Governor Of the Empire state, hot VI
any section OF body Of men, but of all
aud for all. Tho charge has been pre-
scented against him by certain parties
that az Governor he has opposed the
Catholics and their Church. Does the
record support thisH No, iii! In
no way. In TACT. they might have
charged Just the opposite. for, as Is well
known, he appointed three Catholics to
the three highest talared offices IN the
gilt OF the Governor, one OF which was
the Superintendent OF Public Work., a
most important office; the Others. Super.

rur,her Of the water question

From persons thoroughly informed as
TO the status Of the Water Company we
have learned certain facts which, II the
officials OF the company had taken the
mains TO communicate them to the press,
would have greatly modified the spirit
Of complaint which has taken possession
Of our people. The present scarcity Of
water, which will not last for more than
ten days or two weeks at the outside Is
owing 10 the fact that the Water Com
pany is engaged just now in doubling
the capacity Of its reservoirs and in re-
placing its principal main, winch Is four
teen inches in diameter, by one OF thirty
inches. II had been the intention OF
the managers of the company to elect
this change in the Spring, but the sea
son was so long and the rains were 80
continuous that the work was made i'm
possible at that time Of the year which
would have involved the least inconve.

In the action OF the company arose from

venience which, of course. would have
