The Mexican, Greek, and Turkish
women all have rich, thick, long, and
glossy hair, and they all take the
leaves of the common swamp willow
and bruise them, and, to a double
handful of bruised leaves, put two
quarts Of cold water, and let them
stand in an earthen vessel, over night,
at least. Some keep the vessel al
ways full of leaves and water. Every
morning they wet the roots of their
hair with this water, which is highly
tonic and slightly astringent, and they
brush it out with a stiff brush. The
habit, once formed, is continued
through life, and even the oldest
women have thick, handsome hair.

THREATENED WITH PROTEST..
Wash, Connor's Joke on Bank of
England Note.


England Note.
A story is told of Washington Con-
nor, Jay Gould's old partner in the
stock brokerage business, which il
lustrates the proolivity of the Wall
street man to play pranks in solemn
places. Connor, during sojourn in
London, presented G25 Bank of
England note-which, like our own
currency, is simply promise to pay
to the bank for redemption in gold.
The banks custom on these occa-
sions is to require the person present
ing the note to indorse it. Endorse
it p said Connor, when the rule was
read to him. II don't know about
that. Pm little careful what ] in
dorse. This is note of hand" The
astonishment of the Official could not
easily be depicted in words. 81 don't
believe I'll indorse it at all l don't
know you. Besides, it amt neces-
sary. Give me the gold and take
your paper" ''But, sir, it's our
rule" 81 don't care anything about
your rule, Isn't the paper goodP"
"Good Good Is a Bank of Eng
land note good ? Are you mad, manT
"Well, If it's good l want the money
on it," 'Who are you? You must
be an American. Quit your funning,
man, and indorse it." The official
gasped nearly purple in the face.
Connors countenance did not change
a muscle. "I'll not indorse it," he
said. "And as it's a genuine note, if
you don't pay it I'll protest it,"
'Protest it Protest the Bank Of
England? Good heavens p' eyes,
protest it, and before night" The
clerk climbed down from his stool and
ran into a back room. He returned
Immediately with two elderly officials,
all three greatly excited. Connor
calmly reduced the newcomers to q
panic by repeating his threat, and
after enjoying the spectacle feigned
a sudden understanding of the case
and indorsed the note and got his

lie grows enthusiastic as he gets into
his subject, cuts the air with his
gestures, and pounds the desks of his
fellow Senators as he enforces his
points. lie is very clear in his
thought, and there is spice of satire
that creeps now and then into his
speeches which is hardly appreciated
by some Of his fellow Senators.
Senator Frye is radical Republi-
can. He votes the straight ticket,
and does not scruple to call things by
Republican names. He is tall, straight
and rather boyish-looking, though he
is 56 years old, and his hair looks as
though ii had been peppered by q
white powder-box. He is man of
culture, being graduate of Bowdoin,
and he has been in politics during
the greater part of his life. lie sue
ceeded James G.. Blaine as chair
man of the Republican State Commit
tee of Maine in 1881, and he had
served twelve years in the lower
house before he took Blaine's seat in
the Senate. Senator Frye is Just now
packed full Of his last sum-
mcr's trip to Europe, and during
his speech in the Senate he
mentioned the fact that the
workmen of Glasgow were idle for a
whole week during his stay there, and
that this must come from over-pro-
duction. Senator Beck, however, says
that this was fair week, and Frye did
not know it. Frye, however, is an
acute observer, and he says he found
people living on starvation wages all
over Europe, girls in Venetian fac
tories working for five cents day, and
that the highest wages of the iron
workers of Belgium was not over

and his farm manager says he ought
to have for his epitaph the words:
'Rare Tom Palmer" Another close
friend of his on hearing this said it
made him almost weep to think of
Palmer ever needing'an epitaph, but
that he could suggest better one, and
this was quotation from Shaks-
peare's "King Lear

Still, Palmer does not let the future
bother him. The present is good
enough to suit him, and he has gem
erous philosophy which, il more
common, would make the world more
happy. He is broad in his views of
humanity, and believing in the giving
of every man chance, he succeeds,
Notwithstanding his liberality. His
father was well TO do, but not rich,
and young Tom had u good education
at Ann Arbor, which he supplemented
by travels through the Southern
States, through South America and
Spain. He has made a fortune in
lumber, and it is safe to say that at
least 81, 600, 900 of the several million
dollars which he has are the result of
his own work~ He married well, too,
and his wife is descendant of
Governor Winslow of Massaehu-
sets, and her father, Mr.. Mer-
rill, was one of the we'll to
do men of Detroit, and a large
business block of that city bears his
name. Senator Palmer has also blue
blood in his veins, and one of his an

EtDORADO.

We are told by The Almanac we
had spring long ago, but the truth
comes more forcibly home to us when
we have to don our rubber-boots.
The snow, like faithful servant, now
that it's mission is ended, has started
on it's journey to the sea, whence 1t
came. What remains has lost it's
sparkling brightness, making an
apology for Its presence by trying to
harmonize with it's surroundings. A
few of our feathered friends have
come north to sing it's requeLm. The
jack rabbit is having his coat reno.
waited darker shade in honor of the
occasion. and nature universally re-
spends to the voice of spring.
If it is true that our sweetest joys
lie in anticipation, then this must be
the most delightful season of the year.
There is an all -pervading ethereal
essence everywhere which appeals to
that which is immaterial within us
and insensi bly, the spirit Of the season
| steals upon us.
Dormant energies are reused tc
activity, new hopes and aspirations
lure us onward, while fancy pictures
the coming year holds something
better than it's predecessors. The
hardships and privations of winter
are forgotten and farmers are en-
crossed with the operations Of spring
preparatory to seeding.

A Corpse Found.

In even this region, when none be-
sides the few already reported were
heard to lie m ssihg. it seems that
until April showers lift from earth
the robe OF white with which it has
been covered these many months, the
complete list Of victims to it's storms
will not be known. The corpse of
man was found last Saturday molnin.
on the farm Of Farrell Tosney, about
three and one half miles northeast
from Donnelly. Evidently 1t had
been there for many weeks, and is
supposed TO lie that of one who
has frozen to death, but
not a single clue to the identity can be
obtained. Absolutely nothing that
would aid in this direction was fo' nd
upon the person Of the dead man. and
as none IN. ssing have been heard of
the identity Of the unfortunate man
is something for the future TO tho"
light upon. AS the winter is mol II
time for many transients to be II
tins part Of the country it is gen.
rally supposed that he is some far!l
hand belonging in neighborine
county. who rot lost in some of the
late severe storms and. keeping viii.
the wind, wandered many miles ava.
from home before perishing.
If this is 80 news as to who the III.
fortunate man is, may be expected Il,
an early date.
The remains are judged to be those
of IA man of about 40 years of age.
He wore full beard and was five
feet five inches in height. When
found one hand was covered with Il
leather-faced wooden mitten, thu
mate to which was in the coat pocket
He had on two pairs of Overalls. fl
pair of blue and pair Of brown) and
a pair of heavy drawers; and Oh his
feet were good pair of strong shoes.
The corpse was in an advanced
state Of decomposition. the spectacle
presented by which was horriiy,ng.
About seven weeks ago in the
neighborhood of where the discovery
was made IL cap was found by some
boys who where hauling hay through
this field, and from this circumstance
it is believed that the corpse Was
there since previous to that time.
The coroner was notified and went
to the scene. There were no ev.den-
ces Of foul play, and all the circum-
stances pointed so conclusively to the
theory of freezing that it was decided
that an inquest was unnecessary.
