Loved Her Hair.

A letter from Detroit says:-One
of the most remarkable divorce suits
has been begun here. Mrs. James
Phyling recently began action
against her husband, charging de-
sertion and praying for a decree,
with alimony. Phyling filed an
answer, in which he sets forth that
he fell in love with the woman who
is now his wife because of her lux
uriant hair, and frequently told her
so. After the marriage, which
occurred year ago, he found that
every reference to her hair caused
her to become angry, and he noticed
that she would never make her toilet
in his presence. This worried him,
and one day he climbed upon chair
looked over the transom of his wife's
boudoir, and discovered that her
ringlets were hanging on the back
of chair. The woman herself was
bald as the palm of her hand. Ply
ling shrieked and his wife tainted.
When she recovered she explained
that she had lost her hair in fire,
but no explanation would satisfy
him, and he left his wife IN posses
sion of their home, taking up quar-
tiers himself in another part of the
city. He says he cannot live with
her.

The Best Time to Battle.

The best time to battle is Just be-
fore going to bed, as any danger of
catching cold is thus avoided, and
the complexion is improved By keep
ing warm for several hours after hav-
ing the bath. A couple of pounds
bran put into a thin bag and then
in the bathtub is excellent for
softening the skin. It should be
left to soak in a small quantity of
water several hours before being
used The internal aids to a clear
complexion are most of them well
known. The old-fashioned remedy
of sulphur and molasses is con-
sidered among the best Charcoal
powdered and then taken with water
is said to be excellent, but it is most
difficult to take. A strictly yegeta-
bic and fruit diet is followed by
many for one or two weeks.

Joaquin Miller Discourses Upon Faded
Poets and "reminiscences.
Sitting with Joaquin Miller aud
Oliver Wendall Holmes in Miller's
little cottage on the mountain out
side Washington, the conversation
turned upon the first London sue
cesses of the eccentric "Poet of the
Sierras." Miller told us how little
versed he was in the ways of
the social world, and what
strange mistakes he made, how
receiving an invitation to break
fast, signed Dublin" he thought
it was some joke, and threw
it in the fire. dublin" was Arch
bishop Trench. Miller said, "When
l found out who Dublin" was it al
most broke my heart, for Archbishop
Trench was the man that had taught
me most about the English language
when 1 was rough frontierman."
And then he spoke of a breakfast
that he had had with Dante Gabriel
Rossettl, at which were Swinburne,
Philip Bourke, Marston, VIM Morris,
Storey the sculptor and poet, young
Alexander Smith, young Grey, and
other young men, for whom the
knowing world promised great
things. "And where are those young
men now!" said Joaquin Miller.
"That was fourteen years ago
where are they now?" They are
never heard of; and then they were
the new stars on the horizon. Going
over to pine table, Miller took three
books from it and brought them over
to US. "Here, he said, are all that is
left of three poets who before I was
known had created some sensation
They are never heard of, they are
never read" The first collection was
by Charles Warren Stoddard, the
second by a woman who called her
self "Ina," and the third l have for
gotten. "These," said Miller, 81 dug
out of an old book-stall six months
ago in San Francisco, where went
after thirteen years absence to see if
the Sierras looked the same as they
did when 1 lived my life among
them. There's stuff there of quality,
as you may see, and yet where are
these people? Stoddard is some
where in a Jesuit College teaching
the elements of English literature,

An Interesting Ceremony-Substanti

An Interesting Ceremony-Substantia
Appreciation of the Services Of the
Pitcher of the Star Baseball Club.
The members of the Star Baseball
Club on Friday evening presented to
their pitcher, Mr.. B. D. Baldwin, a
beautiful American Waltham gold watch,
of the value of 500, as a token of their
appreciation of his services. The en-
graved inscription on the watch reads:
Presented to B. D. Baldwin by the Star
Baseball Club, Sept. IA, 1882"
The entire team assembled near Mr..
Baldwin's cottage and entered in body,
taking Baldwin's tables, chairs, ETC., by
storm. After an animated discussion
over the fate of Saturdays game, and
the tossing of dice and what-not to read
the omens, Mr.. Gardner Wilder, patron
saint OF the team, called for order, and
spoke briefly as follows: Ben, sup
pose you want to know what this all
means, and have been charged with
the duty OF rising to explain. At the re-
quest Of the Club and with their best
wishes, desire to present you with this
gold watch. We have been led to this
action from sense of special obligation
to you for the success that the club has
thus far met with. Without you we
would not have been able to have gone
into the field at all this season as a
team; and you had to come from the
Island of Maui to do what you have for
US. At time when some discredit has
been thrown on the game by disreputa-
BILE practices, it is pleasant for US to feel
that there is no occasion for anything
but complete confidence in the integrity
and ability of our pitcher.
Mr.. Baldwin thanked the club for
their kindness. Did not believe he
deserved 1t and therefore felt and appre
ciated their good will all the more.
After more talk and lengthy good adj
vice to each other, the club separated to
dream of the gold ball possibly varied
with uncomfortable visions of Water
loo and Whitney walking off the field
with the gold ball in his breeches pocket
singing:

THE UBIQUITOUS SPARROW.

Autocrat of the tiles and lord of
the thatch, the sparrow, in his long
intercourse with man, has developed
the largest brain in birddom. For
reckless audacity and presumptive
impudence the British sparrow has
only single compeer- British
boy. Thoroughly cosmopolitan, the
sparrow is a democrat among birds.
He follows man and his attendant
weeds to the uttermost parts of the
earth, and at any given portion of
the habitable globe, within ten
minutes of the unfurling of the
British flag, perches authoritively on
the flagstaff. For hard-headed
shrewdness practically illustrated
and successful, commend us to the
sparrow. His keen PERCEPTION into
men and things-his scientific dag
nosis of the genus homo-are among
his ruling traits. Multiplying inor-
dinately, the sparrow is as hardy as
prolific. Essentially a creature of
circumstances, he is at once ubiqui-
tOuS duu peIllHdClOuS. 10y Ing, DIS
some say, questionable part in the
economy of nature, he plays a very
certain part in the economy of
our spouts. Rearing his callow
brood, he is actively insectivor-
Gus, and confers incalculable
benefit on agriculturalist; but, as the
harvest yanes, he becomes recklessly
graminivorous, and, anon, by a sud-
den transition, as omnivorous as
mankind itself. With digestive or
gans the capacity of which may well
be envied, the sparrow gulps down
pieces of food amounting to TWEEN
tieth part of its own weight, and
deems white lead a palatable luxury.
The smell of gunpowder in the air
without the accompaniment of shot
is deemed more alarming than dan
gerous. and periodical explosions
are but the means of transferring its
affections from an empty stock in
one part of the field to full one in
another. English Paper.

fins, chickens and dates, ducks and

REMEDY FOR SNORING.
And Another if the First Proves a
Failure.

And Another if the First Proves a
Failure.
Only a man or woman chained to
that rest-destroying angel, snoring
partner, can appreciate its sinful
ness. The wicked emotions aroused
in the soul of the sufferer against the
sleeper cannot be transferred to
paper. Could a man or woman pre-
serve their night thoughts of the in
nocent offender during the entire
twenty-four hours, married life would
be bleak, treeless, unwatered waste.
Fer this sort of affection, if made
public, a man or woman gets only
the same class of sympathy accorded
to malaria grinning That's too
bad"
There is a remedy for ague;
quinine is bitter, but it breaks up
chills There is a remedy for snor-
ing, and that is bitter, too Scientists
have discovered that snorers are in
vsriably great lsughers and takers,
who exist principally with their
mouths wide open, thereby clogging
the breathing apparatus with dust,
roughening the delicate cords by
contact with crude air To these
good-natured and loquscious sleep
killers science says: = Shut up;
keep your mouth closed; better de-
prive the world of your cackle and
chatter than turn honey into gall
and make marriage a failure"
II this does not cure snoring, then
Bob Burdette's remedy for dandruff
is the only recourse chop the head

A party who lately returned from the

far from what it should be. The grades
near the cave and opposite Punnianiau
are entirely too steep, and the work on
the road at those points seem to have
been practically thrown away. Between
the cave and Punnianiau it is excellent,
all the stones being removed and the
grade there naturally good. Many are
disappointed in the steep grades adopted
when there was plenty of room for good
ones. What is wanted is carriage road,
if it can be made.
