In concluding this article must men,
ton the most superb head of hair ever
seen in this country-that Of the Mar
quese Conception Montalvo de Quene
OF Cuba-a very beautiful woman, who
has made occasional visits to New York.
OF exquisitely modelled figure and tall,
her apparent heights added to by mass
i've plaits OF hair wound tightly about
her tinely-shaped head in the form of a
coronet and fastened with a small da-
mond dagger. When these plaits are
unwound they fall in a shimmering cas-
cade of FURNISHED brown to the floor,
eighty inches in hn2 th-over two yards
and as fine as spool silk. Ones pen
rather fingers on the picture of the Mar
quise, for her hair was only one of her
personal charms Her skin was as soft
and pure as a garden rose; her large
dark eyes had the peculiar freshness
and open look of chld's; her mouth
was lovely enough to drop nothing but
pearls and rubies, which | am sure it
did in the shape Of pretty speeches, and
her manners beftted Princess Charm

A WOMAN'S GLORY"
a Chapter on Her Hair as Pow
er in History.
Hung by a Hair-Made Rich by One
Rope of W0man's Locks-as Cruel Ouch
ess and u Generous Countess.

Poets have always shown a keen APP
probation of woman s browning glory.
That little, grand man Pope wrote:
"Fair trcsses mans imperial race ensnare
And beauty draws us with single hair
The particular hair which suggests
this pretty figure of speech could scarce
" have ornamcnted the head OF the
authors adorcd Lady Mary Wortley
Montagu, for it was a notorious fact
that the learned lady entertained pro-
found prejudice against brush and comb,
and was wont to conceal her tangled
trcsses meath hidcous cap. Dryden
said of the one hundred and fifty thou
sandth part of womans capillary at
fractions:
A.She knows her man. and when you rant and
Can draw you to her with single hair"
Carew added his testimony in the
lines
''These curious locks, SO aptly entwined,
Whose ereiD hair soul doth bind
That solitary hair might prove as
fatal to mans neck as to his soul was
murderer, Waslclewsky, a few years
ago. Judge Belden, q grim satirist,
sentenced the criminal and then sug-
gested that justice should be made pc
culiarly retributive by an original
method of hanging, in which long,
black hair from the head of the woman
so brutally murdered and which had
figured in the testimony, should be the
final means when cut of letting the
weight drop and sending the murderer
into eternity.
In the profession of quackery, it is
often made the foundation OF incanta-
tions and love charms, as the hair may
come from the head of the loved or
hated one.
In olden times, when q monarch OF
France condescended to pluck a hair
from bis royal head and bestow it upon
a loyaf subject, it was sure indication
of further and more substantial benefits
to come.
We are told, both on scientific and
scriptural authority, that the very mars
on our head are all numbered. Dr.
Winslow. after many laborious expert
ments, asserts that the average num-
Der of hairs to the square inch on
woman's head is by actual count one
thousand and sixty-six; on the whole
head from one hundred and thirty thou
sand to one hundred 'snd fifty thousand.
Take this number of hairs en- masse. let
it be long, fine, lustrous and pure IN !
color, and whether it falls straight as an
Indians in unbroken folds, OF in curling,
clustering masses, or yet in graceful
shimmering waves and ripples, it does,
indeed form really glorious ornament,
and one that any woman is 10th to lose
or part with.

SPRING GOODS.
The Probable Popularity of Boucle, Home
spun and Diagonal Woolens.

The earliest hints of spring goods
cleaned from enterprising merchants
point to the continued use of homespun,
boucle and diagonal woolens, with
many canvas stutfs, for summer. The
homespun and twilled fabrics are softer
than the scrges now in use, and are
necessarily of lighter weight, but retain
the broad diagonals worn ali winter.
1t is also promised that they are more
firmly woven than the sleasy stuffs now
in market, and will therefore not draw
and frey easily. English scrges Of light
weight in wide double diagonals prom
Use to be the choice for dark blue wooden
dresses instead of the flannel suits that
most women, both young and old, con
slider a necessary part OF the summer
outfit. These serges are also shown In
cream white, in almond shades and in
the beige colors that are liked for house
dresses or for city streets. Another
fabric, less pronounced, but of excellent
style, is camel's -hair in natural ecrue
and beige shades, woven in medium
serge twills that will be sold in cloth
widths for seventy-tive cents yard
Tobacco browns and blues of lighter
shades than have been used of late are
largely represented in the new stutfs.
Stripes for parts of the dress are shown
with nearly all plain goods. These
stripes are from one to two inches wide,
and self-colored. Boucle stripes alter
nate with diagonal stripes of the same
width, or else with canvas stripes O.
square meshes, or with smoother bag
ket-woyen stripes.-HargeT's Bazar.

TELEPHONE FREAKS.
The Peculiar Disturbance Caused by Flee"
trical Currents.

The Peculiar Disturbance Caused by Elecs
trical Currents.
Superintendent Eckert of the Metro.
politan Telephone Company, tells a
story of the effects of that peculiar dis
turbance which electrical currents exert
upon one another. This subject is OF
interest now on account of the approach
lug enforcement of the law packing
away all sorts of wires in one subterra-
mean conduit, The telephone people
say that this disturbance is SO great that
no amount of insulation will enable
them to work their wires if they are put
in the same conduit with the conduc-
tors of the electric light companies.

LEGEND OF YELLOWSTONE
LAKE.
las Related by an Indian Guide.l

Once, when the wandering Sioux
Traversed Wyoming's plain,
And bold and savage warriors
We're chiefs of its domain,
A beauteous Indian maiden
Unto her lover spake:
II ~ you st; would prove to me your low.
The air was raw and chilly;
Ice tOated in his wake
But manfully against the waves
He struggled for her sake.
The maid upon the pebbly shore
Saw his form recede from view.
Until at last he disappeared,
Across the waters blue.
Then down she sat and waited
ft,r her lover to return;
An" Ihe stars peeped down in silence
Or he hills where camp-fres burn.
Dnrk clouds obscured the western sky,
The wind howied weird and loud,
AND the white capped peaks in the far north
Cleaned like a ghastly shroud.
Dnt still upon the stormy shore
The maiden keeps her seat.
And listens to the roaring surf
That daShcS at ner feet,
While from the west the storm bursts forth
III binding snow and sleet.
Far DER the lake, the gallant brave
His arduous task com clete-
StediS 1Orin IN search OF elk or uGcra
To furnish him with meat.
He spies an elk upon a knoll:
Crceps forth in haste to slav,
When 10. a grizzly in his path
Causes his foot to stay.
The monster notes his human foe.
And quick to combat springs.
One arrOW-twO-thn monster brute
Heeds not the fragile things;
But down upon his victims head
His massive paw ne brings.
It's o'er-a crushed and bleeding mass
Is all that now remains
OF the dusky brave, who yesterday.
Was chief OF these domains.
The maiden STILL upon the shore.
Her lonely vigil keeps,
a heaa of bones among the stones,
Ger which the wild wave leaps:
Ard far across tic lonely lake
Her lovers bones lie bleaching
Where coyotes bark and puma SrOws.
Mirgle with ground owls Screeching:
Bleached by the wind. washed by the flood,
Their bones still whitening lie.
And the paIe-face hears their spirits oft,
When the blizzard whistles by.

larly venison, which WAS served on long splts
by his fores,erS Luther preferred Torgau
bser and hook to all other beverages. As a
young man, Mslsncthon was Sery fond OF
barley soup, and he would often exchange q
diet OF meat Tor bowl OF barley soup. Small
fish, vegetables, snd all kinds OF farinaceous
food he liked, but large hsh aud meat he dis
liked, and he hated all pu bic meals or drink
ing bouts Torquato Tasso was very fond OF
preserved fruits and all kinds of fancy
sw eetx.
HenryIv. was often I'll from eating too many
oysters or melons His favorits drink was

King OF Sweden, preferred piece OF bread
