In a Western city lives an undertak-

always ready to play a joke; also a

One day the doctor was driving at

Brown spied him. Brown was in his

Hair Jewelry Reviving.

A few years ago the custom of weav-
ing in some form a lock of hair from
the head of departed friends was quite
fashionable, The style changed how.
ever, and the hair jewelry markets
nearly became bankrupt. Within the
last year the fashion has revived and
now rings, brooches, pins and all sorts
of jewelry are made from human hair.
There are several '~artists in hair in
Philadelphia, but n man is the
master. His process Of working the
hair is a secret, and he not only makes
jewelry, but landscape and figure pieces
fashioned so skillfully that they look
lik etchings or paintings. Flower
groups, composed of rosebuds, lilies,
pansies and daisies, are fashioned clev-
erly, nature being copied in form and
color almost perfectly, the different
tints and colors being reduced by the
use of different shades Of hair. -Hila-

TRUE USE OF N
Why Every Young Man and Boy Should
Aim to Lay by Small Weekly Savings.

Why Every Young Man and Boy should
Aim to Lay BY Small Weekly Savings.
But very few young people know the
true use for the money they earn. 1t is
first to pay for subsistence; second in
aid to those needing charity; third, and
last, as a source OF income or accumu'
lation. To spend money for any other
purpose is to waste it Everything pur-
chased should be of real and substan-
tial value, convertible into other and
greater value if possible. No Il a
afford to give his time and genius tc
earning money and then eNpend what
he has earned for that which is not sub
stantial. Far better is it to accummu-
late and hold ones earnings until the
time for death comes. and then turn it
over to some worthy charity. where it
may do good for the unfortunate.
Every one can earn enough and more
than enough to meet all his wants and
needs if they be as moderate as they
should be, and if he finds he has a sur
plus. which he is certain of, he can be-
stow it upon those who have been I'M
fortunate. In expending money the
young man should always ask himself;
'Do l need thison He should not ask:
''Do l want thisph Wants are, too
often, the children of children. There
is nothing manly in giving away to de-
sires and being governed by them. To
do so is to become the slave of morbid
appetite. How many men, in the
evening of their days, looking
back can see that they have
earned millions of dollars. even, and
vet have not managed to save to them
selves a single hundred. 1t is this
which embitters the close of a life. The
man sees that he has been not only less
frugal than he should have been, but
wasteful. His hard-earned money has
slipped out of his hands in dribletS as
fast as he could earn it. He has spent
it for useless things. He has even
damaged his health in indulgences
which we're poisonous to his physical
and mental systems. When n young
man secures employment he should
firmly resolve-"out of my earnings all
necessary expenses shall be paid. The
remainder | will rigidly reserve for
future uses in the same direction We
wei that all young men will meet a
period when five hundred dollars would
prove the first step to a competence to
support them in old age. Then it
should be the aim of every mechanic
or other industrial TO secure that sum.
1t may take two or three years to secure
it. If so, all the more reason for Sc
curing it. Money to n SO long nc
cumulating such q sum is of far greater
value to him than to one who gets it
ahead in one year. But, above all, the
pursuit of this course makes a better citi-
zen and a better man, in all respects, Of
the one engaged in it, than does the So
called liberal and open-hearted gen
erous" life. The latter is the life of n
spendthrift who becomes bcsmirched
with all the evils Of humanity. aud too
often ending in wreck, ruin and dis
grace. The popularity is among his
own class, and not worth having. Al

eye, which always slightly exaggerates
the former, When the letter is turned
over, this same trick of the sight makes
the difference seem greater than it real
" is; and, of course, were it OF the
same width ali the way, it would still
look uneven.
In greater matters. the false report Of
the eye is greater. If a tapering mon
ument, like that on Bunker Hill or like
the Obelisk in Central Park, were made
with perfectly straight sides, it would
look to us-for, you see, we really can
not trust our own eycs-as if it were
followed in 3 little or, as we should
say in more scientific language, its
sides would appear concaye.
ThU.s CLEVER Gfugks, who did 50
many marvellous things in art, thought
all this ont, and made their architecture
upon principles so subtle and SO com
prehensiye that we have never been
able to improve on them since. They
found that their beautiful DOric col
ums, if made with straight sides, had
the concave effect Of which l have
spoken; and 50, with the most delicate
art in the world, they made the pillar
swell a little at the middle, and then it
appeared exactly right.
This swelling of the column at its
middle wa called entaSiS. OF course it
had to be calculated with the greatest
nicely, and was actually SO very slight
that it car only be detected by delicate
measurements; but it added greatly tC
the beauty Of the columns and to thoir
effectiveness.
Then the lines which We're to look
horizontal had to receive attention. Il
you look at a long, perfectly level line,
as the edge Of q roof, for instance, II
has the appearance of sagging TOWARD
the middle. The Greek architect cor
rected this fault by making his lines
rise a little. The front Of the Parthe
non, at Athens, is one hundred and one
feet three and a half inches long, and
in this, the rise from the horizontal i
about two and one-eighth inches. II
other words, there is a curvature up
ward that makes it a little more tina,
two inches higher in the center than a
the ends, and the effect of this Swellin;
upward is to make the lines appcW pei
fectly level. Indeed. this same Parthe
non--the most beautiful building in tn
world-when delicately and carcfull
measured was found to be everywhcr
made a little incorrect, SO that it ma
appear right, which is certainly wha
may be called an architectural paradox
