Women Bsrbers for Women.

On one Of the women's streets OF this
town, where the petticoats are so thick
that a man is almost as much out OF place
as he would be al ladies luncheon, there
is a voman's barber shop. 1t has not
striped pole in front Of it. 1t is too
aesthetic for that. and the women find il in
focks without such vulgar aids 1t is q

word. run bv women and for women Ii
is the outcome of the usual long felt want.
OF course. there were always places
where women could get their hair dressed,
but when the universal bang demanded
constant attention these great artists were
apt TO act az If such ministraoons were
beneath their attention Then they
charged enormously. The places where
they trim bangs cheap were dubiously
masculine; even IL they set apart place
for women there were giimrses continu-
ally Of dreadful, coilariess, lathered male
beings, and TO the inexperienced feminine
mind nothing seems 50 indecent as nan
being shaved.
Stfll another question Of decency came
in. The fine ladies who..have had their hair
dressed ever since they were IL years old,

After q Shopping Tour.

"Kitty, l am glad to see you looking
yourself again. What have you been do
ing to regain your rosy checks and bright
eyes?" said a husband to his wife on his
return from business the other evening.
"Ned, have been shopping, and / am
going to tell you all about my rosy cheeks,
bright eyes and my shopping tour. You
think l am looking charming, yet the mo-
ment l mentioned shopping to you your
countenance changed. and You looked at
me as though shopping was mild kind
of crime Now, don't think that shop
ping means buying, for many women
have not a dollar in their purses when
they 90 shopping. But 10 woman ever goes
on such tour without getting rosy
cheeks and bright eyes. 1t is the ex-
element, fresh sir and the change that
causes women to appear SO pink and
charming afterward. "
"But have women the assurance to GO
through the stores taking up the time OF
the saleswomen and buying nothing"
asked the husband.
ooh, they don't take up much time
They simply look about, examine the new
materials and occasionally ask the price
of an article and sometimes get samples. :"
s'Do all who ask for samples procure
them:' was asked.
"Wen, the clerks use discrimination
about that. They soon find out the shop
pers who visit their stores day after day
without purchasing. When any of this
class ask for samples the clerks answel-
1T is too late in the day to cut samples,
or they have some other plausible excuse
ready. If the clerk is convinced that you
really intend making purchase he is
usually patient and obliging. But there
is frequently as much excitement and
pleasure whether you buy or moi. New

ment with her BY which evSr9 morning
when she got her papers she looked them
over, and if there was anything in any OF
them in reference to the matter in which
the artist was interested she marked it
and laid those papers aside for him. He
paid her franc for every paper in which
She had found anything he wanted.
1t struck the young Bohemian that if one
man was so anxious to know what the
papers said, others would be so, too, and
thereafter he bought all the papers and
clipped from them everything in reference
to art and artists. He took the clippings
about among the studios where he mad g
large acquaintance, and peddled them for
what he could get. In time he added lit
erature as well as art to his field, and did
so well that overprosperity broke down
his health, and he had to go to the south
of France to recuperate. Thence he went
to London, and started to make living
in the same way there. The idea devel-
oped, however, and he soon settled down
into a regular business, which was the
model for the two concerns in this city

Religious Bath in DIid-Ocean.

An eclipse Of the moon was to take place
between and 3 in the morning, and the
Naharaiah, as devout Brahmin, was bound
to go through certain religious rites in con-
sequence, one of the most important of which
vas q thorough cold water bath. To give
time for these proceedings the steamer had
to be stopped for three hours during the
night, and this delay was compensated by
tho maharajah (who would certainly need
his proverbial wealth if this sort of thing
were to happen often with a payment Of
1850 rupees or about IS for every minute Of
detention.
He did the same thing once before" said
the captain to me, ''when he was making q
voyage with US along the coast, and then he
stopped the ship for three hours and paid
1900 rupees for it just as he's going to do
now But that time he lot down a boat into
the sea and had regular bath, which I'm
not going to allow him to do this time, be-
cause there's always come risk of his getting
drowned, you know, and that wouldn't do
at all, you know. shall give him the deck
to himself tonight, and no can stand on the
platform Of the ladder with his two men and
draw up the water with q bucket and splash
away as much as he likes"
Tho maharaj ah good naturally assented to
this modified programme, and scarcely had
the splendor Of tho fun moon begun to
darkon when a tremendous splashing Of
water announced that the sacred BATH was in
progress The sudden stoppage of tho vessel
had awakened both passengers and officers,
and some Of the latter reached the upper
deck Just In time to witness q part Of the
ceremonial, which was by no means to their
taste After each of the four Hindoo prayers
recited by the maharajah, be counted out

The Orchestra's Six TrOmbones.

a Russian orchestra was once rehears-
ing under the direction Of Arban, q cele-
brated French musician. Among the in.
struments were six trombones, which
were playing in unison. Arban noticed
that something seemed to be wrong with
the trombone part, and made the six
trombones play It over again. Then he
observed that, where the tronbones
should have played 3D." every man Of
hem played ''sol."
Here, here" exclaimed Arban, stop
ping them, "that note should be ''dor'
eve know it, sir" said the head man
of the trombones; ''but we don't play

"And why not, please'"
Because, in order to play 3D." we
have to thrust our arms out as far as we
can reach. And as it is so very cold, ev'

It sometimes happens that the peddiers who
travel from door to door with usual patiencs
and humility become spirited and independ-
ent in manner, as a story, repeated in sn old
Boston family, illustrates. One day lady
who saw the approach Of peddler put her
head out of the window and called out: 1--WE
don't want anything" The peddler looked
up: Put your old head into that window"
he said. nobody asked you if you did,

What Nihi.ism Really 4

am not permitted to give the sources
from which | secured my knowledge OF
tho domestic troubles in Russia, for
reasons | have explained, but my con-
illusions are my own and lead irresistibly
to this one fact, that nihilism is the
protest of enlightened reason against the
despotic tyranny of the police. Every
man in Russia who dares talk at all will
will admit it. The car is generally re-
spected and beloved by the people. The
police are hated by every one. The con-
dition is that of AFFECT submission to
tyranny No man or woman Is safe.
Even an acquaintance with suspected per-
sons is crime A word from a spy will
send the best man in Petersburg to prison.
There is not even freedom Of thought. A
man may not even have opinions that are
contrary to the administrative system, "
as the despotism is called. As long as he
keeps his opinion to himself he is safe,
but if he utters them not only in Russia,
but in Paris, or London, or anywhere
else, they are liable to be reported by one
of the thousands of spies, and from that
day he is a marked man. Nihilism Is O
historical remonstrance against this con-
dition of affairs. 1t is simply a refusal to

A new sort Of hospital building is do
scribed in Le Genie Civil, which seems TO
have many advantages. The principle of
construction seems To be the formation of
an iron shell, to which is a wooden lining.
capable of being readily removed and 70
placed. The lining keeps the room cool
in summer and warm in winter. while
steam and water pipes can be carried
through it, and, by means Of a ridge venti-
lator, air can be withdrawn from the
room at any desired point by cutting open
ings into the space between the two
shells. After being used for suffi-
GENTLY long time, the structure may DO
taken to pieces, the iron work sprayed
with carbolic acid and painted, and tho
wooden lining strips disinfected by baking
or by washing with carbolic acid or bichlo-
ride of mercury, after which the whole
can be put together again for renewed
service. The expense Of this complete
disinfection is estimated at 8 per cent. on
the original cost of the structure, which,
in Paris, is about $500 for each bed, for a
twelve bed pavilion, including all the
iron work, carpentry, painting and glaz-
ing, plumbing, gas fitting and steam
heating, together with the beds and mat

HOW washlngtou Keeps Cool.

Domestic life has been adapted to hot
weather here as nowhere else. In the first
place every thrifty housewife begins in
May to prepare for hot weather. The
carpets are all taken up and packed away
from the moths, cool straw mattings are
placed on the floors, or more frequently
the floors are neatly stained and left bare,
the portieres are slowed on the closet
shelf and inviting linen covers put on all
the upholstered furniture. The whole
winter aspect of the house disappears,
more air is admitted through the curtain
less windows, awnings are put over sunny
doorways and in the larger dooryards
rustic seats are placed in the shadows of
overhanging vines and shrubbery. A sup
ply of low seated, wickerwork chairs,
with bows of bright colored ribbon effec-
lively tied to their backs, are brought out
on front stoops at nightfall and strips OF
carpet are spread from the top step to the
sidewalk. 1t is here the family gathers

into the night, until the almost unfailing
southern breeze springs up, nearly all

Gold washing in California.

What an earth soaring, devastating pro-
cess that whole system of gold washing
has been to portion of California; 1t has
torn down hills and mountains, filled up
lovely valleys and ravines with rock and
mud and left only bare rock and piles Of
powders where were before shaded and
fertile little plains. This has taken place
over hundreds of miles Of territory. But
nature repairs such rayages very quickly,
especially in California, where vegetation,
wild or cultivated, grows after rapid
transit fashion There it soon binds up
these earth scars with wild vines and
bushes. / have seen saplings growing
through the roofs and barring the doors

found on the top in the very grass roots.
Old miners finally dropped on an adagc
