A Useful Hairpin.

The value of little newspaper article
concerning common things is not al
ways appreciated; neither is it always
confessed when acted upon, but there il
one instance to the contrary, as the fol-
lowing case shows: Several months
ago the Free Press INDUCED in a short
talk about hairpins and the many uses
to which they were put by the ladies.
The writer then went on to tell how
easily hairpins were lost and OF the
efforts that had been made to get up a
non-losable. non pulling hairpin, closing
with the remark that whoever invented
such pin would have fortune in it.
That hint did the business The atten-
ton of one of those inventive fellows
was called to it, and now he has not
only got the pin, but government
patent of it.
His invention is as simple as any
other hairpin, and as soon as introduced
to the trade will drive all other hair
pins, that the ladies use to keep their
crowns of glory"iin, condition. out OF
the market. 1t has three prongs. made
of light stiff, but very elastic wire.
The two outer prongs are bent so that
near their points they touch the inner
tine; but the two outer tines are slightly
longer than the inner one and are then
bent little outward, thus forming a
mouth which, when the pin is pressed
into use, takes in little lock Of the hair
and holds it above the point where the
tines touch each other. The result is
that the pin can not drop out when in
use and yet is easily withdrawn by the
wearer, without the slightest injury to
the hair, or other hurt Z

She Was an Expert.

One of the conductors on the overland
road tells of a queer customer that he
had for a passenger the other day. The
man was New Highlander of middle
age, who had been in the West long
enough to get pretty good idea of the
country, and he was eastward bound
not for the purpose of settling down, but
to secure wife, he having picked one
out by letter, as he said when speaking
on the subject.
You see" he told the conductor in
one of their confidential conversations,
1.-THE West is no place for an clipping
woman. had one of that kind In
fact that was the reason | happened to
go West I'd been farming in Con-
necticut for a good many years, ever
since | was q boy, and the wife of
friend OF mine and got to smiling on
each other, and first thing | knew she
was suggesting that we skip for the
West She had some money of her
own and was smart woman, and as |
had always hankercd after little
Western adventure | concluded to Join
in. Now, stranger, TO tell you the
truth, I've had more adventure than l
counted on. In the first place, the wo-
mans husband got on our trail and
chung to it for all of one winter. and in
the next place lost the woman.
''When we got out here | wanted to
get farm somewhere and settle down,
but she wouldn't do it. We went to
Idaho prospecting. and before we had
been there month the madam's head
began to swell. Women are very scarce
up there. and it didn't take my woman
long to find it out While | was only
plain sort of farmer man, she pretty
soon discovered that there were Judges,
colonies, bonanza kings. silver-mine
owners, and big ranchers who were
liable to want wives, and, by crackey,
mister, she had lit ont with colonel
before | knew it. They got married,
too. Well. | didn't have much bust
ness on hand. and | thought I'd just
chase them. So | followed When
caught them, in Helena, what do YOU
suppose she said to me? She said, said
she:
"'You are good enough to elope with
from Connecticut, but you are small
potatoes and few in hill out here.
I'm only taking advantage of the oppor-
tunities which new and growing
country offers.
after that | left her alone. You
see, she was just cute enough to sec
that being on the ground, she could
marry in great shape if she wanted to,
and so she threw me overheard. Shes
rich now, and will make big splurge
in the East some day. But what l
wanted to say to you is this: Don't
bring any clipping women out here If
they elope once, they'll do it again. and
there's altogether too big premium on
them in this section. The young woman
am going back after now is Al years
old, has never been married, and has
taught Sunday-school class thirty

A writer in the st. Louis Globe Demo
crat thus discourscs concerning grey
ness of the hair:
The coloring matter of the hair satur-
ates its entire substance, being present
in the fiber cells and between the differ
ent cells of which each hair is composed
If this coloring matter is absent the
hair appears white, because of the I'M
evenness of the surface which reflects
the light and of the presence of air-bub-
bles, moderate quantity of air being
always present in every hair, partly
within, partly between the cells. Hence
the hair varies in color according to the
presence or absence of coloring sub
stance and the amount of air contained
and the varying shades from grey to
snow-white are thus produced. Grey
ness usually precedes the badness of
age, and may be considered natural
process.
1t is generally to be first seen over the
temples Qrom tempus, time, a name de-
rived from this fact), then in the beard.
Few at first, the grey hairs increase in
number, with advancing years, until all
are changed. The loss of color begins
toward the root, as rule, and only in
exceptional cases at the end. After a
grey hair has thus been produced it falls
out, and the new one that succeeds it is
of changed type of ''sure enough"
grey hair, differing very clearly from
that which it replaces. Like badness,
greyness may appear prematurely in
young persons. and does not indicate
any defect in the constitution or disease
in the hair itself, which often continues
to grow even to the most advanced age.
1t seems TO be due to hereditary infiu-
ences, for it is often a family popularity.

Advice to Country Girls.

City life is not all that it is painted.
1t has its pleasures and conveniences,
but it also has its serious drawbacks.
Before making the plunge into life in
the city country girls should ask them
selves what is really to be gained by it.
Perhaps in their quiet, rural homes
some stray advertisement has reached
them, promising to young women high
salaries for light work. Hundreds of
these advertisements are framed for the
very purpose of deceiving the unwary.
They accomplish their purpose, how
ever, and large numbers of young girls
rush up to the city, dazzled by the gen.
erous profusion of promises
A girl from the farm answers one of
these advertisements. Life may have
been slow at home, but there was al
ways good food and in plenty, and there
was some one to care for in the old
farm house. When she goes to the big
city she finds that the Eight work"
consists in working all day in badly
lighted and ill-smelling workshop,
where scores of other girls and women
are employed at wages hardly high
enough to keep body and soul to-
gether.
We know what often comes next
The girl has left home; she is ashamed
or unwilling to return, and she must
take the consequences, ofttimes one OF
two things-shame or suffering. Many
a girl finds first in the friyolities and
next in the iniquity of the streets that
excitement by which regrets and re-
morse may be deadened. If she is
too strong in principle. too pure and
elevated in tone thus 10 sink down to
one of the pitiable women of the street,
she may find herself in some cold gar
ret, lonely, overworked, respondent and
miserable.
Better remain at home than risk the
failure which attends so many girls who
60 to the city in pursuit of high pay for
light work. 1t is the saddest of all
ventures, forsaking country home for
the illusions and receptions of large
town. Reading (Pa.) Times.

A good deal has been written about
the "ceaseless roar of the surf" It's a
big thing for u couple of days and
nights, but after that you'll begin to
wonder why people who come here ex-
pressly for that didn't stay home and
hire some one to turn cofiee-mill. The
old thing keeps hammering away for
seven days and nights of the week, with
no other purpose in view than to make
noise. and by and by everybody votes
it bore. An ocean with the best in
terests of the public at heart would keep
still at least half the time. The average
person puts in about ten minutes watch

After that he wants some other perform
ance. One wave is very much like
another. all being cut from the same
piece of cloth. Each one has a white
name; each one rolls in just so far, and
breaks just as the one before it did

Stern Virtues Reward.

len years ago two young men went
10 work for the same firm in Wall
street. says the New York Times.
"Inelr salaries were the same, their on
portunities even, their tastes similar.
and, generally, they were on par all
around. Both married. neither adding
much to his dollar-and-cent account in
that way. They climbed along to-
gether. Eight years ago they were draw
ing yearly salary of $1,000 apiece.
But IN one particular the twain differed.
and this difference was in their method
OF taking care of their money. A at the
END OF each week took his salary home
and handed it over to his wife. B look
ed out for his own funds himself. When
A wanted funds during the week he
went to his wife for ii; he took but d
certain sum from home each day for his
lunch and incidental expenses. When
wanted funds during the week he
Owed into his own pockets for it. He
didn't need-this was his boast--he
didn't need any petticoat financierinp
In his family. B had lots of fun at AS
expense as the weeks heaped themselves
up into months and piled into wear.
but A seemed rather TO have the whip

month, he asked B to compare bank
books. Is had $43 TO his credit, sole
remnant of his whole years salary. AS
account showed credits that amounted
to $4,000. That wife at the purse

good wife, A gives up labor and is set

Nov, that's where you make your
mistake" calculated my tale-teller, in a
tone sublimely sarcastic. because
you newspaper men are always good.
and because your goodness always
brings you happiness and shekeis, YOU
imagine that the same rule holds good
everywhere. And, as I've said, that's
where you make a mistake. This isn't
a Sunday-school chestnut. No; A isn't

1t was with feeling of great and
genuine sorrow that the news of Billy
Ennor's death at the old home in Poto-
81, Wisconsin. was received in Britt. He
was known and beloved by all for his
genial disposition and kindly heart, and
his death is now mourned by all. In
sickness no one was more willing
and ready to lend a helping nand than
he, aud we believe that we can truth
fully say he had not an enemy in the
county. For number OF years he bad
been troubled with his threat, all this
summer his general health had been
poor aud during the last three months
he was sick and suffering most of the
time. He really did not have proper
care during that time, but he had be.
come too sensitive to allow any one to
do anything for him. We believe that
better care would have prolo nged his
lite and perhaps restored his health. On
the 18th of October his mother and
Mrs. Hymer, hearing of his situation.
arrived in Britt and it was with diff
Guilty that they persuaded him to return
with them. And the next news from
him was that of his death. He was
one of the oldest citizens of Britt, COM
ing her in 1873 with his uncle, Thos.

Worth More than Gold.


Not dozen people in this city could
guess what was in little cigar box that
William A. Atkins of Provincetown,
Cape Cod, had under his arm when he
was here yesterday. If you saw it on
the sidewalk you would take particular
pains to pass it by, but you would pass
by small fortune. The yellow, I'M
pleasant-looking and unpleasant-smell-
ing stuff is ambergris ofthe best quality,
and it is worth more per ounce than
gold. 1t is found only in the intestines
of diseased whale, and is used in the
manufacture of fine colognes. But one
vessel this season has reported find OF
this sort, and that is the schooner
Antarctic of Proyincetown, commanded
by Capt. George S. johnson. A whale
that she killed in SAM Bay, West In
dies. last April, yielded thirty pounds
of ambergris. and it has just arrived
home. 1t is worth nearly $4,000, and
is of more value than all the oil the ves-
sci has on board. Mr.. Atkins, who is
the owner of the Antarctic and is at the
head of the whaling industry of Cape
Cod, had sample of it in his cigar box.
As no other ambergris is likely to be
brought home this year he has corner
on the market. -NeD York World.
