At the Queens Ball.


The London Truth says: May, who
was at the Queens ball on Friday night,
tells me that the young Princess Louise
looked painfully shy; she is not pretty,
but has a gentle, pleasing and somewhat
serious expression. She was dressed
very simply in pale-blue satin and tulle-
looped with clusters of cherry blossoms.
She wore no Jewels save couple of
aigrettes in her hair. OF the other deb
utantes, Lady Alexandra Leveson-
Cover wore very becoming dress of
white satin and tulle, trimmed very
artistically with profusion of lilies Of
the valley. The Princess of Wales looked
well in yellow satin embroidered with
silver and trimmed with silver lace. She
wore q splendid tiara of diamonds. The
majority of the dresses were decidedly
I'm good taste and quiet. There were no
eceentricities or extremes of any kind.
The royalties danced briskly until supper
time. Prince George seemed to enjoy
himself, and he appears more at his ease
In society than his elder brother, who is
very awkward and shy. Mays husband
says that he was struck by the remark
able absence of beauty. He complains
that he did not see one woman whose
face o. figure could be remembered.

History Of the Machine Clip.

A Chicago barber tells the story as
follows :-"Well, this down East Yankee
went to work on the moving machine
idea. In two weeks he had his first
machine constructed Here, Sam, he
says to the brush boy, I've got little
moving machine here for cutting hair,
an want to try it on you. The trial
was made But it wasn't success. Hair
flew all over the room, the chair was
turned, and Sam screached like straw
berry vender. You see, the first machine
was geared little too strong, and it
pulled. Oats no mowin' machine, says
Sam, says he, its a potatoe diggah, OATS
what it am That night Sam resigned
his place. The next night the new boy
quit with white streak down the side
of his head. The third boy stayed two
days, and his mother then apprenticed
him to a wig maker. The fourth boy
stuck nearly week, and then joined a
juvenile pantomime troupe to play
'Humpty Dumpty.'
s'But in less than month the Yankee
had his machine down fire. She worked
like charm. just then farmer came
along to have his hair cut The barber
hitched up his little machine and pranced
around his head, making the hay seed
and thistle down fly like chaff out of a
threshing machine. Good job, says the
farmer, says he, how muchp "Ten
dollars and a quarter, says the barber.
What, $1025 for hair cutP yes, an
shell out, or I'll let the sickle bar down
two notches an NOW your hair out from
the roots He got his money, borrowed
81, 70 from another man, and applied for
patent. A patent was issued, and he
made 5000, 900 in five years. When
they first came out the clips sold at $40
each. Then they came down to 81, and
now they are only 81. Every barber
shop in the United States that's worth
having painted pole has clip, and
some of 'em has a Dozen"

Ar NOON AND MxDN1GHE

Ear in the night, and yet no rest
For him The pillow next his own
The wife's sweet face in slumber pressed
And he awoke alone-alone
In vain he courted aeep-one thought
Would ever in his mind arise:
His harsh words that at noon had brought
The teardrops to her eyes.
Slowly on lifted arm he raised
And listened. All was still as death
He touched her forehead as he gazed,
And listened yet with bated breath:
Still silently, as though he prayed;
His lips moved lightly Is she slept
For God was with him and he laid
His face with hers and wept.

There are times, however, when, from
ill-health, or return of old states she
recedes again into fretfulness; but the
reaction upon her is so immediate and
perceptible that she is driven in self
defence to patience and forbearance, the
result of which is order and quiet in her
family just in the degree that patience
and forbearance are exercised. -Arthur''
