1t is Not Used as Generally as 1t Was
Few Years Ago.
A State street hair dealer: There
isn't as much false hair worn now as
when you and / were boys. One reason
of this is that the styles in which women
wear their hair won't permit of it. But
/ prefer to think that the real reason
lies in the fact that the women of the
present day have more common sense
about such things than our mothers
had. When did you see chignon! How
often do you see the "waves,'' which
were once so prominent? Women have
found out that they can have their own
hair by bestowing upon it the same at
tention that they bestow upon their
teeth and their nails. Your city lady
eXcels in her attention in this respect
Most of our orders for false hair como
from the country. The day for chang
ing the color of hair is also going, and
am glad of it. l know there have been
RACES for blonde hair, and red hair, and
brown. An some women who were not
favored by nature with the prevailing
shade went to work to change theirs by
chemical solutions and otherwise /
need not tell you how injurious that was.
1t has been told a thousand times.
Women do funny things with their hai..
any way. Talking about hair, here ii
an interesting thing which L picked up
somewhere the other day:
-Four hundred hairs of average thick
ness covers an inch of space. The
blonde belle has about 140, 900 filaments
to comb and brush; the red-haired
beauty has to be satisfied with $4,000.
she of the brown hair may have 100000;
the black-haired but 1O2, 1000. Ladies
carry some forty to fifty miles of hair on
their heads. The fair-haired ones may
even have to dress seventy miles of
golden threads every morning. A single
hair will suspend four ounces without
breaking, stretching under the process
and contracting again. The hair thus
heavily weighed must be dark brown,
for blonde hair breaks down under two
and half ounces. Chicago Tribune.

TRIALS OF AUTHORSHIP.
Why 1t Is Unsafe to Make Calculations OF
Products of the PEN.

Why 1t Is Unsafe to Make Calculations on
Products of the PEN.
There is by far too prevalent an i'm
preston that literature is bed of roses,
where all seed bears flowers. No calcu.
lation is safe that is made on products of
the pen. / have known of several in
stances whore young authors have as
sumed obligations based upon the prob
able success of their work. Disappoint-
ment invariably follows in such cases.
In few professions are there SO many
uncertainties. Because story is ac
cepted this week, is no guarantee that
you will have another accepted next
week. Yet, again and again have I
heard rising young authors make such
calculation. A young writer receives
$50 for an accepted story which has prob
ably cost him weeks work. Imme-
diately follows the multiplication of $50
by SO weeks. 1t apparently never occurs
to him that for weeks, and perhaps
months, he will receive only declina-
tions. Literature makes precarious
foundation for financial calculations,
and it would save much unhappiness
and disappointment II this was more
generally understood and credited. AS
in all callings, success in literature
means hard, steady work, plenty of it,
and even then success may not come.
There are ton, yea twenty and forty
failures to every success. The literary
market has never been so full as at tho
present day, with sharp competition at
every turn. Never have there been more
people with pen In hand striving for a
livelihood, each doing their utmost to
outdistance the other. 1t will be we'll
for young authors, too ready to adopi
literature as profession and too SAN
guine of success, to consider and digest
some of the disadvantages of authorship
as well as the rose-colored joys of fame
and praise which are spread upon the
canvas of their inexperienced VISIONS

THE VANDERBILT RICHES.
Something About the Institution in Which
They Are Stored.

ABOUT tne INSTITUTION In Nhlcn
They Are Stored.
There is no better place in which to
see evidences of tangible wealth, belong
ing to women as well as men, than the
Lincoln National Bank. In the glass
partitioned and quite sumptuous room
of the president of that institution, very
busy at massive and Uttered desk,
sat eX-Postmaster General Thomas L.
James. Evidently in his experience
first as postmaster here in New York,
and then as Postmaster General at the
head of our tremendous mail service,
Mr.. James trained his natural abilities
so as to make of himself thorough
paced master of business affairs. That
was the judgment of the late William
II. Vanderbilt anyhow, and subsequently
of all the other male Vanderbilts, for
he was chosen to organize and manage
the Vanderbilts' bank and safe deposit
vaults. This is the fiscal institution for
the enormous Vanderbilt properties, be-
sides doing general banking business
for the neighborhood of the Grand Cen
tral depot.
Its massive building contains the fire.
stow away their evidences of the owner
ship of somewhere near to $500, 600, 900.
Other folks are permitted, by paying for
the privilege, to deposit valuables in
this same safe place. So it is in the
midst of tremendous wealth that Thomas
l.. James is busy all day long, and day
after day. i don't know whether he is
himself getting rich or not, but the
financial operations in which he is an
executive factor are big enough to daze
anybody not accustomed.to the dazzle of
gold. Millionaires of both sexes are as
plenty on those premises as paupers in
the poor-house, and the dowagers and
damsels of extreme riches, too, troop
there to put in or take out money, doc
uments, jewelry, family plate and other
cherished articles.-Cor. Boston Herald.

THE THREE AMERICAS.
Comparative Areas of the Central ana

Comparative Areas of the Central ana
South American States. -
Central and South America embrace
an area little greater than twice the
extent of country in the United States
and Territories and population of
about 50,000,000, or about one-sixth
public.
Mexico covers an area just about equal
to that part of the United States east of
the Mississippi river, exclusive of the
States of Louisiana and Mississippi, and
has 1000, 900 inhabitants.
The five Central American republics
of Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras,
Nicaragua and Salvador cover an extent
of country about the size of the five
States of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Michigan and Illinois, and have popu.
lation equal to both New York and
Indiana.
Brazils area is somewhat greater than
that of the United States, exclusive of
Alaska, and her population is about that
of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
The Argentine Republic, with about
half the area of the United States, has
population not quite as large as Penn.
sylvania.
Colombia is nearly equal in extent to
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin, with
population probably little less than
that of New York State.
Bolivia's territory is somewhat greater
than that of the Atlantic States, Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Michigan, and has
population about Indiana's figure.
Peru is little larger than the Allan.
tic States and Pennsylvania, and her
population is about that of Illinois,
Venezuela is larger than Peru by
about as much territory as is embraced
in New Jersey, and her population is
about equal to Indiana's.
Ecuador could contain Ohio, New
York, Pennsylvania, Michigan and IL
linois, but her population is not quite
up to that of Michigan alone.
Chili's domain cut up VOL i'd make
States as extensive as Ohio. Pennsyl-
vania and Indiana. Her population is
somewhat greater than that of Indiana.
Paraguay is ubig enough to include
Ohio and New York within her borders,
but her entire population scarcely ex-
ceeds that of Cleveland.
Uruguay is not quite as large as Ohio
and Indiana combined, and just about
the same number OF inhabitants as
Brooklyn, N. Y.
The Guiana< are English, Fren1h and
Dutch colonies. British Guiana, twice
as large as Ohio, has just about the pop
ulation of Cleveland. French Guiana,
somewhat larger than Ohio, has about
as many inhabitants as Toledo. Dutch
Guiana, nearly as large as Pennsylvania,
has no more inhabitants than Columbus.

MEDICAL COMMON SENSE.
How to Keep in Good Health from One
Years End to the Other.

Years End to the Other.
One of the best ways to keep in good
health is not to think or worry too much
about it. If you feel strong and well,
don't imagine that some insidious dis
ease may be secretly attacking your con-
stitution. Eat and drink what you de-
sire, as long as it agrees with you. Your
stomach knows pretty well what it can
digest.
Take all the sleep you can get, but
remember that the necessary amount
varies greatly for different persons.
Some must sleep at least nine hours;
while others thrive under six. Only
don't rob yourself of what you really
need. The midnight oil" is terribly
| expensive illuminant to burn, either for
purpose of labor or study.
Avoid sudden changes of temperature.
If you can not avoid them you can guard
against them by always wearing flannel
under-clothing.
Always treat common cold with
great respect. Ninety-nine times out of
hundred it will get we'll any way; but
the hundredth cold, If neglected, may
lead to bronchitis, pneumonia or con-
sumption. 1t is best to take no such
chances.
Don't trife with patent medicines. If
you are sick enough to need any medi-
cine at all, beyond the simple household
remedies familiar to all, you are sick
enough to need the attendance of
physician.
A change of occupation Is usually bet
ter than total cessation OF activity. BY
all means take as much exercise as you
can, and be in the open air as much as
possible. Outdoor life is the natural
condition OF mankind, and the more one
can have of it the better. The practice
must not be carried to extremes, how
ever. There are many days when one
is much better off in warm, coinforta-
bic, well-yentilated house, than trying
to take outdoor exercise in mid-winter
storm, or under July sun.
Fresh air, sunlight, good and sufficient
food, pure water. outdoor exercise, tenn
perance in all things, and cheerful
disposition, are the chief remedies In
natures pharmacop9ia, and are worth
more than all the drugs and medicines
OF the shops.-Popular Science News.

An Astor Lady at School.

Mrs. Sophia Astor attends one of the
public evening schools of this city for
the purpose of learning English. She
is about fifty-two years old and the wife
of Ludwig Astor. The couple have
been in this country few months. He
is fifty-seven Jears of age, blood rela-
tive of the wealthy Astor family of this
city, and keeps small restaurant and
beer saloon at 1920 Second avenue. He
bears strong resemblance to William
Waldorf Astor, and comes from Wall
dorf, Germany, not Waldorf tone y as
the ex-Minister to Italy spells his mid
die name. Mr.. and Mrs. Ludwig Astor
are very respectable and intelligent peo-
pie, not by any means very poor, having
accumulated q few thousand dollars in
Germany, and they are now trying to
build up fortune as their wealthy rela-
tives have done here, but they find il
uphill work even to make expenses, and
intend to sell out and move to quarters
near the proposed Exposition grounds,
resuming there the same business that
they carried on in Europe, viz, keeping
q hotel. Their rich relatives will learn
now for the first time that Mr.. and Mrs.
Ludwig Astor are here, the latter not
having announced their arrival TO the
former.-N. Y. Epoch.

THE EDUCATED uNDlNE.

She can write in verse ecstatic;
She can sing songs operate;
Ehe can play the harp, piano and guitar;
She can teach the Delsarte gesture,
She can pose in classic vesture,
hut she can not sew button for her pa.
She can prove mans evolution,
In the ages revolution,
All the consultations she can trace out In the
sky;
She can give the nomenclature
or all elements in nature;
But she can not bake q pudding or pie.
She makes all the fancy stitches
And embroiders like the witches,
She can make crazy quilt or crazier rug
She just dotes on Robert Browning,
OF all verse his is the crowning
But her mental work is talking to her pug.
She's composed of silks that rustic
And huge receding hustle,
And OF diamonds, pearls and tools of Cupid's war;
She was made for dudes to gaze on,
Or for fools to get craze on,
But God only knows what else He made her for.

THE FARMERS, UNION.
Work of the st. Louis Convention
COMPLETED,


Completed.
ST. LOUIS, December 8.-The Farmers
Convention adjourned today to meet on
the second Tuesday in December, 1890,
at Jacksonville, Florida. The day was
devoted mainly to finishing the revision
of the constitution and trying to smooth
the way for consolidation with the North
ern Alliance. Terms were finally agreed
upon, and Kansas and South Dakota 60
in at once, but the other States defer &C.
ton until the matter can be submitted to
the separate State Alliances. What the
terms of the consolidation are has not
transpired. The new constitution is the
same as the old with the exception of a
few verbal changes. One of the chief
alterations is the striking out of the word
Country" before the phrase country
mechanics. This will enable q large
number of mechanics in towns and cities
who are Knights of Labor to join the or
ganization. 1t is provided that negroes
may be taken into the union at the op-
ton Of the State organizations, but they
cannot be delegates to the national
convention. The name OF the organixa-
tion has been changed to National Farm
ers' Alliance and Industrial Union. Head
quarters will be established at Washing
ton, where the President, Secretary and
Chairman of the Executive Committee
will transact business. A Judiciary Com
mittee, which is practically trial court,
was also appointed.
