A Word About Dan.

Col. Lamont is generally known TO the
country. He is popularity looked upon as a
sort of President. He is a willy poll.
tician. He can hold back what he knows
in manner that is simply charming.
What lover he must have beenl There is
nothing in his manner to indicate that he
feels any Importance on account of his posi-
ton. He was the assistant private secre-
tary to Gov. Tilden, and am told that Mr..
Tilden preferred to transact his official bust
ness through Col. Lamont instead OF
through the chief secretary. AS apupil Of
Daniel Manning, Col. Lamont must have
obtained a political knowledge worth pos
sessing, aside from his relations with Tilden.
II there was anything more for him TO learn,
he has had the opportunity as private secre-
tary to Gov. Cleveland and to President
Cleveland. The President likes Lamont
aside from their official relations. He has
taken him into his household and made him
a part Of it. The social relations have been
noticeable without any effort on the part Of
Lamont to make them appear so. He said
IL time allowed me he would like to take me

1t Turned His Hair White.

A young man named John M. Damon,
who has recently been boarding at Samson
vile, High Point. in the Catslkill mountains,
has had a tobogganning experience which
he probably will never forget, and which
has caused his hair to grow white. On the
northern point of Sans jnville, High Point,
is a rocky slide of slate, about / 800 feet in
length, as smooth as polished marble, and
inclined at an angle Of about So degrees. At
the base is a yawning cnasm so feet in
depth. While amusiug himself there the
other day by casting huge boulders down
the slide SO as to see them bounce to the OPP
posite side of the chasm and fall with O
crash into the yawning abyss, the young
man lost his balance, and away be went
down the steep. What passed through his
mind in his rapid fight he will never be
able to state clearly, but his clothes bore
unmistakable evidence of what friction will
do. Luckily, as he bounced to the other
side Of the chasm after his natural tobog
gan slide of !, 500 feet and was about TO
Iopple backward into the yawning abyss
below, he caught firm hold of young
cedar While suspended in midair, and
mounting and praying for deliverance, a
party Of young ladies, to one whom he haG
pledged his affections. appeared on the cliff
They heard the voice Of the young man and
saw his queer predicament. Shouting to
him to retain his grip on the tree, the young
ladies ran for help and soon the young man
was rescued with the aid Of ropes.

From Good Housekeeping.
When Mr.. Jenkins went to the city on
Saturday morning, his wife accompanied
him to do little shopping. AS they were
walking to tho train, Mr.. j., happening to
glance down at his coat, uttered vigorous
exclamation, and added:

button on my coat. Now it's gone, and a

"How she came to get such a fall, is more

"She was scarcely out of my sight for

"Well, never mind ] suppose you can

Probably they're too precious to use" And
Mr.. jenkins relapsed into silence and peru
sal of the morning paper.
When they were leaving tho train Mrs.
Jenkins said meekly:
"If you are not too busy to-day, John, l
wish you would stop at Polisher's and get

MORNING SCARECROWS.
Hints to Certain of the Center sex BY
a Discerning Sister.


We have all, writes Pauline Adelaide
Hardy in Good Housekeeping. seen these
scarecrows; some live in distant towns,
others in our neighborhood, but none Of
them, of course, in our homes. They vary
in habits. Some get up early; others late.
The reasons for their peculiar dress in the
morning are sometimes given that there is
lack of time TO appear otherwise; that an
early breakfast is TO be prepared; that chill
dren are to be dressed. What excuse can
there be for grown women coming from
their rooms in the morning in this way2
The hair uncombed hanging down the back
in loose braid or no braid at all; without
collar or pin, and with dress long ago
mortgaged ID the ragmani Shoes, with
many missing buttons unbuttoned and flap
ping. an accompaniment to the steps Of
their careless ownersl The faces are gray
and the hands are uncared for, with dirty
nails. The expressions even which friends
are accustomed TO see In the afternoon are
not visible.
In a town where people do their own
work as a rule, excepting washing and IRON
ing, one woman said to another, when
speaking of this subject:
"Oh, did you ever see Mrs. A. in the
morningl She wears false teeth. One
morning when called asked her IL they
hurt her, and she said no;' she just did
not take time to put them in until after her
morning work was done"
The lady explained further that Mrs. A.
ate bread and coffee for breakfast because
she couldn't chew anything without her
teeth, and that her speech was very pecu-
llar.
