THE MAGIC HAIRPIN.
The Thing Most Truly Representative of
the Great American Girl.

The Thing Most Truly Representative of
the treat American Girl.
The proof of boys mechanical skill
is usually what he can do with jack
knife the proof of woman S is what
she can do with hairpin.
Few women take naturally to ordi-
nary tools. They use hammers in a
ginger AID ridiculous manner, or they
pound their fingers with them; they pat
blunt-pointed nails along instead of
across the grain, and then wonder by
it splits; they use screw drivers princi-
pally to pry open boxes, and they think
wire-pincers were made to crack nuts
with. But they know how to manage
a hairpin.
"A lady," said an observant gentle
man the other day, .'always opens let
tor bet er than man. A man tears off
corner, and then pulls the envelope
more or less to pieces in getting at the
contents, but lady draws hairpin,
inserts one prong at corner, and rips
open the edge as neatly, easily and
quickly as if the tool We're made for the
purpose. !"
With this same tool she can, and
frequently does, button her glove and
occasionally her boots. She cuts the
magazines with it She pricks memor-
anda Wien caught without pencil.
She twists it into clasps for broken
jcwelry. She uses it to suspend plaques.
She employs it to draw corks, and also
10 snuff candles. She inserts it in win
dows to keep them from rattling, and
uses it to brace back shades that incline
to tumble down. She succeeds, with
its help, in turning the hasps of win
dows from the de when obliged by
an accidental locking-out to burglarize
her own house. She arms herself with
it when travelling to keep disagreeable
neighbors at respectful distance. She
files receipts upon it. She pins up no.
tees to the nilkman. She even bends
it roughly into the form of her initial,
and hangs it IN the keyhole of her init
mate friend by way of a card when she
has forgo ten her card-case and the
family are out.
The fan has long been regarded as
the object most suggestive of the Span
ish women. Ladies of other countries
are famed for their especially graceful
or skiilful use of other dainty family
feminine articles. But if we were asked
to select the thing most truly represent
ative of the Great American Girl, we
would rame without hesitation the neat
te IL rgenious. the inexhaustible, the

HopBrEs OF THE HYarrursTs.

There were several dozen of the hygien-
lists in council, each with his individual
hobby. Each thought all the others were
wrong. Each was sure that his own hobby
was the only correct one. A gentleman
present said he had taken Browns Iron
Bitters for debility and dyspepsia, and,
though he didn't want to make fuss
about it, he knew the use of this great
tonic to be better than all, the notions he
had heard advanced in the council. One
practical cure is worth thousands of
guesses and notions. Thousands of happy
convalescents speak gratefully of Browns
Iron Bitters.

Hardened Liver.

Since then have been unable to be about
