He Didn 9 Scare a Bst.

On the train from Cincinnati to
Chattanooga the talk Of the mob of
six or eigh; in the smoking carran to
train robbery. The subject was can
vassed from every standpoint. and
all but one agreed that a passenger
car could be rObbsd without danger
to the robbers. This chap was sell
ing drugs for a Baltimore house,
and he announced his readiness to
lay down his life whenever an at
tempt was made to deprive him Of
his cash. 1t was generally believed
that his courage was ali talk, and by
and by when he fell asleep we put
up a job on him.
A giant of a chap from Dayton,
o., was selected to play robber. He
was about the ugliest looking white
man anybody had ever set his eyes
on, and he borrowed two revolvers,
removed the cartridges and waited
for the right moment. As the train
stopped at little station the big
fellow opened and slammed the door
and cried out:
Hands up. gentleman The first
one of you who drops a hand is a
dead man
Up went our hands, and the drug
mall awoke.
'Up with 'em-throw 'em up ~
commanded Dayton, as he leveled
both shooters at the drummer and
slowly advanced.
Not if | know myselfl' was the
cool reply, and what did the Mary
lander do but out with his revolver
and began popping away He bad
fired four shots and driven the rob
Der" to the door before any one could
grab him and explain matters. One
bullet went through the big mans
cap, IA second burned his cheek, and
the third and fourth went through
the window He was whittier than
snow as the affair ended, and return
ing the revolvers to their owners
he stood up in the aisle and said :
Gentleman, you can put me
down as the biggest blamed fool in
America Good night :"
And he took his coat and grip
sack and left us for seat in another
coach.

For Ladies.

"Frlnges have gone entirely out o.
style, said John Medina OF Boston tC
a reporter. They are still retained
for children, but the idiot fringe for
ladies is entirely gone by. They
now wear the sea-foam waves
are worn to some extent, but chiefly
by elderly ladies and those who wish
to be thought young wear the sea
foam"
"Are these effects produced in the
natural hair or in false?'
''In both. Many ladies curl and
frizz their hair with curling irons,
but very many wear false puffs and
front pieces.-The tendency in false
hair is to the wearing of true hair
and not imitation. 1t is not the
fashion now to produce the impres-
sion of great quantity of hair by a
padding of other materials. Ladies
wear a good braid or coil of false
hair, exactly matching their own,
but they do not load on, as formerly,
an immense quantity of jute and
other materials"
What is the style of coiffure at
the present timer"
"The hair is worn either very high
on the head or very low in the neck.
1t is not worn at the back of the
head. Blonde hair is the most fash
ionable. The very latest shade is
reddish gold. Very many ladies
wear waves and puffs of this color. "
Are entire wigs of blonde hair Oft
en- wore by ladies on the street and in
society ?"
Very frequently. 1t is quite the
fashion to have light hair and dark
eyes and eye-lashes, and a great many
wear entire wigs Of blonde hair,
covering their own dark locks
These wigs are very deceptive, too.
They cannot be detected even by an
expert hairdresser. Many of the
golden-haired beauties yet meet up
on the streets wear the hair which
once belonged to some Norwegian or
French peasant girl.
"The false hair used is all import
ed from Europe, is it not ?"
Eyes, we get the very finest shades
OF hair from Sweden and Norway.
1t comes in the golden and reddish
yellow and drabs. We also get
much from France. The dark
shades and black from Italy. Many
of the peasant girls of Europe raise
hair for the market, having it cut
out once in four years. 1t is cut
close to the head, and then the girls
wear a cap to cover the head until
the hair grows again. The hair is
bought up by peddlers and shipped
to Paris in bales, where it is arranged,
assorted and prepared for the mar
ket."
1T is said that some ladies bleach
their hair by the use of some prepa-
ration.-Is this true ?"
'Oh yes; it is frequently done
There is a wash in common use
which will, with few applications,
turn the hair to golden color 1t
is not used so much now as former
ly, bat another wash, which will
produce the rich red-gold color, now
so fashionable is much used. The
golden wash has a tendency to bleach
the hair to too light color, after a
time, but | have never heard that
it was at all injurious to the scalp"
What is worn now in the shape
of hair ornament? 2"
"Light-haired ladies wear dark
pins and combs, and those with
dark hair wear light ornaments.
Rhine stones, set in pins and dag
gers, are very much worn, and are
very effective upon dark hair.
They look especially well in the
evening"

Something About soldiers

Gen. Egbert l.. Viele read paper,
on Camp and Garrison Sanitation
before the Military Service Institute
at Governors Island. He said
"0fthe $4,000 Hessians sent to
this country in the Revolutionary
war, one-half perished of disease
In the Mexican war 40 officers and
400 men fell in battle or died OF
wounds in the United States army
while 100 officers and 10,S00 men
died of disease. In the war of the
rebellion $4,000 men died of wounds
or fell in battle, while 10000 died
of disease.
Speaking ofthe military strength
of the United States, he said
in ten days the United States
could put into the field an army
as large as that of either of the five
great powers of Europe. This coun-
try needs but proper military sys-
tenn to be the strongest country in
the world. Switzerland, that land
Of freedom, which has stood for ages
in the midst of despotism, has no
standing army whatever; but so
perfect is its military system that it
could put 100000 men in the field
at once. 1t is about the same size as
Ohio, yet Ohio could not protet
itself from a brutal, unorganized
mob. The regular army of the
United States may be estimated at
10000 men. This little army pro-
tects 1900 miles of sea coast and
5000 miles of frontier, and keeps
in subjection 100000 Indians. There
are 1S7 forts and barracks in the
country which are cared for or garri-
soned by this army. Itmay be said
that the United States army does 4
large business on a small capital
than any other organization in the
world"

Bogus Butter at n Discount.

Bogus buffers are at a discount
now said a Delaware avenue deal
er on Saturday. "Oleo-margarine,
suene and like compounds are
shelved until cold weather comes
again. The very best creamery
prints are in good demand and sell
at wholesale at "A and % cents per
pound; Western dairy at IS and 10
cents, and tub butter at y cents.
Manufacturers ofthe artificial article
cannot prduce it and sell in compe-
tition with the genuine product dur
ing warm weather"
Philadelphia dealers expected an
influx of butterine manufacturers
into that city from New York when
Governor Cleveland approved the
act of Assembly prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of artificial
butter in that state. AS yet no one
has put in an appearance. 1t is of
interest in connection with the but
ter trade to know that tits estimated
by good authority that theirare over
100000 mich cows in the United
States. Allowing each of the 50,OO0,-
600 inhabitants of the country one
half pound of butter per week the
consumption aggregates 100000
600 pounds annually. To supply
this demand will require each COW
to furnish 100 pounds per year.
The total product of the dairy last
year is valued at s352,00O.O00. The
amount of capital invested in the
business, including land, buildings
cows and utensils, Is placed at
81, ,2OO,O0O,000 Ii is claimed that
in Pennsylvania-notwithstanding
the vastness Of her coal and iron
interests-the capital invested in
dairying exceeds that Of both those
industries.

KEEP ON TRYING.
If boys should get discouraged

If boys should get discouraged
At lessons or at work,
Aud say, There's no use trying"
And all hard tasks should shirk,
And keep on shirking, Sinking,
Till the boy became a MAJ,
wonder what the world would DO
To carry out its plan.
The coward in the conflict
Gives up at first defeat
lfonce repulsed, his courage
Lies shattered at his feet.
The brave heart wins the battle,
Because. through thick and thin,
He'll not give up as conquered,
He fights, and fights to win.
So, boys, don't get disheartened,
Because at first you fail
If you keep on trying,
At last you will prevail.
BE stubborn against failure.
Try try and try again.
The boys who've kept on trying
Have made the worlds best men.
