New York's Organized, Charities.

Our organized charities are so much ''or-
ganlzed' that individual relief is next to an
impossibihty. | have now and then taken
the liberty of sending family with a card
to relief association, and that relief asso-
citation, after investigation, has sent them a
half ton Of coal. On one occasion they sent
half ton OF coal TO a family which had
pawned its stove, its bed, its table. its chairs,
everything except pallet of straw and two
candlestlcks! In the hurry scurry of my
work simply took in the idea that there was
q poor family who needed help, and gave
my card, indorsing the application, and
turned TO my work, and a week after was in
tensely chagrined-the chagrin somewhat
tinged by the irony of the amusing fact. l
must say, that the relief was a half ton of
coal, which they had no stove to burn in
and no place to keep if they had had a
stove.-Joe Howard in Chicago News.

A HAIR pREssER's CUSTOMERS.


Europe-His Methods.
A short time ago, hair dresser, speaking
of two of the ugiiest woman in Europe, the
princess Lise Troubetskoi and the princess
Metternich, who were formerly his custom
ers, said of the Russian lady: THAT little
woman is adorable She is absolutely with
a single physical point worth boasting of
Her face was always monstrously plain, the
nose being just two holes, the eyes of a washed
out color, and wanting in fine form; the
mouth coarse, with yellow teeth in detached
pegs. Her neck, always thin, was, as she
advanced in life, scraggy, betraying fiatness
of chest, Notwithstanding the full bosom OBJ
tanned by padding Her arms We're mere
skewers, her legs ditto, and her feet fat and
more like frogs than anything else. She
was on the whole uglier than Nine

rival for no matter what beauty. The salts
faction she felt on seeing herself transformed
lighted her up, called all her perversity into
play, and made her agog for nlanslaughter.
The Princess Metternich was jollier, and
had finer hair, more wit and animal spirits,
and was not quite so ugly, although fright.
Well, she supported triumphantly proximity
to the prettiest and best dressed women in Eu
rope-the Empress Eugene and those beau
ties of her court, whom Winterhalter grouped
around her in doing one of his portraits of
her. She greatly depended on the capillary
fantasia into which | worked her tresses-

ness would have been ruin. had TO be very
