One Way of AdYertisinp.

am not much of a grumbler about edi- torial incompetency myself, but I will go so far, anyway, as to say that if were the editor of ia great New York daily" there is one reform at least that I should start with jump. The very first order I should issue would be to stop the free advertising of sec- ond and third class actors and actresses by printing silly items about them in the news columns. This sort of thing has gone SO far in New York as to be n nuisance run over nearly all the papers, way or an> other, and find it everywhere Paragraphs about actors and actresses appear almost daily. Their goings and comings are told, and where they have been and what they have done, and if there is something ''spicy" to tell of them all the better. The smallest incident is magnified to the proportions of & matter of importance. An actor buys dog and he gets big advertisement free-gratis flor nothing. An actress has spat behind the scenes, or intimates that some actor han trifled with such affections as she may hap pen to possess, and it Is written up in ex- tenso and promptly printed.-New York Cor. Detroit Free Press.

A Saving All Around.

A correspondent says: "Any one who runs on the railroad long can understand what Q saving it would be to the stock dealer and the railroads if the tracks were fenced in. It would prevent cattle straying on the track The slaughter of the cattle along the roads is something terrible, especially in the Indian territory. To see an engine dash into herd of cattle is enough to sicken any one I've known as many as thirty COWS and horses to be killed at one swoop. The engineer can't stop, and the only thing he can do is to put on steam and hit the animals as hard as pos sible to knock them from the track, for If he don't he'll derail his engine and probably kill his passengers. When tne engine strikes the cattle they are knocked up into the air and to one side. and often they burst and festoon the engine with their entrails. Sheep are often killed. If one sheep happens to cross track in front of an engine every other one will fol- low, and they'll try to go through right under the moving cars, In the territory coyotes and deer are often killed, and there are any number of snakes ground up. When the engine is going rapidly birds often fly against the headlight and get killed, and the train men often get lots of game that way."-Mis- sissippi Paper.

Divorce in Different States.

New York recognizes but one ground marital infldelity-for divorce. Its law Is the most stringent in the Union. In most of the other states there is a marked similarity in the grounds for divorce. In all-except South Carolina, which has no divorce law marital infidelity is the main ground. In nearly all other the causes are cruelty, habit ual drunkenness and abandonment or neglect to support. In some states the courts have taken liberal view of cruelty and given it a wide scope In others divorce will be granted only when extreme cruelty or personal vio- lence Is proved.
 The broadest provision is found in the law of Connecticut. 1tgives the courts discretion b grant divorce for "any such misconduct as permanently destroys the happiness of petitioner and defeats the purpose of the marriage relation" That might make the Nutmeg state a popular resort for divorce seekers from othe< parts of the country, but unfortunately for them a three years resi- dence is required of every petitioner A years residence Is a comrssaSn requirement. In many states. But California, Nevada and Nebraska offer special inducements in this respect. They require of the complainant residence of only six months.-New York Herald.

Criticism of Masculine salutations.

The city is getting full of people again, and think good many people are getting full but that is the sort of thing that we always expect at time of great national excitement. If you want to see something funny, just watch how they speak to each other. The average man has about as much idea of a graceful bow as has the average sheep. He seems to walk forward and to give his hand butt. That the man takes off his hat and the sheep does not, Is prob ably due to the fact that the sheep has not hat. In the matter of grace they are about even. A woman, nine times out of ten, smiles when she bows; at least she looks recognition from out her eyes. A man, unless he wears eyeglasses, looks noth- ing, and an absolute vacant stare pervades him. The varnish of his boots may glitter, but there is not the slightest glint of recognition in his face, and even his scarf pin does not tremble as he says good morn ing to the woman to whom he has sworn | adoration the night before. It is said by a 1 philosopher that a dog that is furiously mad | will stop quite still and stare if he man take off his hat, the reason being that 1t sug- gests to tho dog that the man is parting with portion of his own being, his physical be- l ing; but if the man who ever tried this be- fore a mad dog did it as solemnIy as the average man, can quite understand that | WHab MT DulUSTWOTIu Cdl1S Iu6 'TaFSuOuS animal" would stop ill his mad career.
 A small boy bows as if he were afraid of the criticism An old man is very apt to sweep the air with his hat because his bow always has just slight touch of courtesy
 A dude, like my Angostura, doffs his hat in a supercilious sort of way and puts it back as | quickly possible, for fear, in the mean time, you might discover the lack of brains exposed to the air. The average man gives the average bow, a jerk-hat's off; another
 jerk-hat's on, and as you see the back of his coat tails you presume the bow is for you. It might just as we'll be for the lamp post do not suppose there will ever be time for
 women to learn to make the old fashioned courtesy, for there is something in the very name that demands time, and, before every thing else, nowadays, time is most valuable.
 We have time for folly of every description.
 There is good bit of time for immortality,
 but there doesn't seem to be much for culti-
 vation of good manners or good morals | "Bab" in New York Star

"SLuMMING" IN LONDON.
The Methods Adopted by an American.
 Unadulterated Degradation.


 During a residence in London extending, ''off and on," for a period of two years, I lodged excessively on Red Lion square, Step ney, Drury lane, at Nine Films, Bishopsgate street, Canterbury street and the Camden road These are localities from one to six miles apart. The reader acquainted with London will observe that they are anything but fashionable. Of this when I took up residence there 1 thought little. should not choose such quarters again. But at that time my object was to see London. You do not really see a city by driving through it. London, with it's four millions of people, is equivalent to half a dozen ordinary cities punched into one, and its life in some quar- ters has a marked difference from that in others.
 My plan was to engage room for week or two in the quarter I wanted to explore Generally was lucky as regarded the char acter of the people I lodged with. Sometimes was not. It was rather risky for stranger to go poking about i'll this way, taking his chances among people be knew nothing about and in quarters of the city where human degradation reached very near its lowest limit But being entirely ignorant ill this matter I never thought of possible dangers, and am consequently only entitled to the rep utation of that bravery which comes of pure stupidity.
 For unadulterated degradation London ex- ceeds any city know of. Low, prowling, nocturnal life is in most cities confined to a certain quarter. In London you find it in spots from St. James park to far beyond the Bank, miles to the eastward. You find it above the Seven Dials and you find it again on the Camden road, four miles distant. It Is almost as plentiful at monday as at night. The drunken woman is an everyday spectacle in some localities. In certain ''courts" have seen hags sitting in the sunshine in rows, either upon the curbs or propped up against the house wall. Their life seems to have merged itself into one desire-a constant craving for gin. As you pass they beg a penny to buy gin. There is nothing of them but dirt, rags and gin. A shilling for them is days fortune. A shilling in London will buy more food, shelter and gin than will a dollar in New York. These creatures, though plentiful, are quite harmless. They tempt one only to get away from them. They are too clumsy to be adroit thieves. They are only numbering bales of humanity, who lum- Der on q clear day out of their rookeries to the sidewalk in the morning and back again at night How they live is a mystery.
 Yet the vilest of these courts and lanes Is far cleaner swept than the average New York street. Not a scrap of paper or any rubbish Is to be seen. They do sweep the streets of London clean, and it is an equal dispensation of broom all around, high or low.-Prentice Mulford in New York Star.

When You Mail nranuscripts.

None but stout envelopes should ever be used in sending manuscripts by mail. Pack ages of manuscript, being bulky and odd size, get rough usage in the mail bags, and Q fimsy envelope is almost sure to burst open before it reaches its destination. Writers who value their manuscripts, either for sen- tinental or for practical reasons, should see that they are properly enclosed in a stout en- velope, with the name of the sender clearly written or printed across the end. Then they are pretty sure to reach their destination in good condition, or, if they go astray, there is some chance of recovering them.-The Writer.

CURIOUS TOILET RECIPES.
Ingenious Compounds Used by the Ladies of Ancient Egypt-Peysonal Adornment.

Ingenious Compounds Used by the Ladies of
 Ancient Egypt-Peysonal Adornment. Curious hair recipes occur on some of the papyri, some of which are very absurd. One to prevent the hair from turning gray directs that salve should be made from the blood of a black cat cooked in oil in another, that of black bull is preferred for the same object. Evidently the color of the animal was to pass through the salve into the hair. In another place we read of the tooth of a donkey dipped in honey being used for really strengthening the hair; and the ingredients for an ingenious compound are given for ln- turing the hair of a rival, and the counter remedy to be used by those who think their hair oil has been tempered by a suspicious friend. Cakes of some composition which absorbed oil were always placed on the heads of guests at feasts, and from them the oil gradually trickled down through the hair. A most disagreeable practice this may seem to.us, but to them it appears to have given great pleasure; and with the Egyptians as we'll as with the Hebrews oil was symbolical of joy and gladness.
 Rouge and other coloring substances were used by women of Egypt to enhance, as they thought, their beauty. The eyes had often a green line underneath them; the eyelaSheS and eyebrows were penciled and as in mod ern Egypt, the nails were always stained red with preparation from the henna plant. In our museums we can the little pots and vases formerly filled with these unguents and colors, and the pencils they used with them, as well as various sorts of combs and hair pins; of the latter there is very pretty set in the museum at Boulak-single pronged wooden pins with jackal heads stuck into a cushion in the form of turtle, which was evidently one of the favorite dressing table ornaments belonging to the deceased lady. All these little essentials of the toilet were placed ill the tomb by the loving hands of friends and relations, for the use of that spiritual body which they believed required all the adornment the lady had loved upon earth
 Notwithstanding the elaborate care lavished by the Egyptian lady on her personal adorn- ment, she adopted a simplicity of dress suit able to the climate i'll which she lived. Ex- cept for the wig, the head was usually uncov- cred, with sometimes a colored band tied round it. The queens often wore the vuture headdress, but this was more as an official ornament than as O covering. Uncommon life also the women, both of high and low degree, went barefoot, though they had san- dals to wear when they were in full dress These sandals were made of papyrus or palm fiber, or of leather They had straps to pass around the foot and between the toes, and in some piece of the sole turned up and bent over the toes to protect them; in later times some of the leather sandals had sides to them, which causes them very much to re- [ senlble modern shoes-Woman's World.

American Coins Less Valuable.

It would surprise one not in the business to sec the number of people who come to us with coins to ascertain if there Is not a pre- mium on them. Of course, the large ma jority of these are American coins. There are but few American coins that have any value to 0 coin collector. These are mostly of date in which year but few were issued, and for thls reason they have a value above their denomination. Pieces of money of an extremely old date are valuable, ot course, but this does not apply to American coins The fact is, coins become valuable when they are rare.-Collector in Globe. Democrat.
