The Thin Woman.

New YORK Grapnlc-
Thin women are dangerous. A fat woman
has got to be good-tempered and easy-eoing. I
think temper is all in the bones anyway, and
when q woman is fat the temper becomes ab-
sorbed before it comes TO the surface. But when
q woman is thin the temper is right there on the
surface. IL ever q fat woman has a high tom
per it is awful. She never cools. A thin woman
cools off quickly, bat she heats up again just as
quickly. A thin woman with a good temper
comes just as near being an angel anybody can
on this earth-if she isn't too thin.
A thin woman can dress in a white robe, and
il you put n harp into her hand she'll look ex-
actiy like an angel. Could a fat woman ever
look like an an eeai IN any dressl No. AS for a man,
the idea that they ever make men angels is sb-
surd. They max 9 ~statuary out of some Of them,
but not many, after all; and-well-how does
the best-lookine IMAM 10 the world look when he
gets out of bed to see whore a fire is or to light
the gasl But a thin woman is Insidious. When
a woman has a stout, full figure there's no ex-
preston TO her. She's a series Of curves that
don't change. No. There's something about q
thin woman you ant describe that is dangerous
to the psace of man. Still, people do love fat
women often.

Fate.
Maud, gathering roses on the la wn,
Bends her proud head with softest sigh,
And glances shyly at grave John,
Who looks, but saunters slowly by.
And as he spies fair Mays bright face
Amid the window violets CLEAN,
With beating heart he speeds his pace,
But May slow stitches down her seam.
'Tis not the pink Of summers flush
when later on Phil homeward goes),
That brings her cheek its sudden blush,
As he a light smile quickly throws;
Which changes soon to sharp regret,
As Maud walks in with stately tread,
And does not see his glance; and Jet,
For just the gift of one rose red
He'd barter every violet blue,
And flower that grows beneath the sky.
Alb life's a tangled skein. that you
Or | cannot unwind. Why try?

The Mute Poet.

His soul was full of music never sung;
Of strange, sweet melodies that never broke
From their Imprisonment, nor eier found tongue
To voice their beauties; and though angels spoke
To him in dreams and brought him fancies sweet,
Still.he was mute. and though he strove to sing
His thoughts, no words came to him to repeat.
Nor could his vagrant fancies voices bring,
But all the while his nature, stern with strife.
Was softened by the stirring thoughts within,
And milder. gentler grew. while all his life
Became . grander poem than aught sung by men.
So when at last age came and great death-faint,
DULL men, revering. christened him a saint.

Cleansing Ladies' Hair.

We object to the use of carbonate Of
potash by hairdressers for cleansing
the hair of their customers. The
cleansing action of this powerfully
alkaline substance is very effective. but
1t is prejudicial to the hair at the same
time. A teaspoonfnl of pulverized
borax in a cup of boiling water, or
cleansing the hair with the yelk of a
fresh egg, and following this with a
warm solution of borax or salt and
water, especially sea-water. is much
preferable. and has the effect Of cleans
ing and softening the skin Of the scalp.

Of their hair. adopt the latter mode Of
