The Hair DYE Lake AGAIN,

The hair dye lake story is in circula-
ton again. This time it reads: A
well-known jackson, Mich, man has
just returned from a Michigan summer
resort, four miles east of Jackson.
When he went there his hair was as
white as u badger. He washed his
head several times a day at q certain
place in the lake, and his hair COM
menced to turn black, and it is now as
black as a ravens wing. A red-haired
jackson girl had her locks turned
black by the same process. A COM
pany has been secretly formed to buy
the right to use the lake, build a hotel,
and start q resort for red-haired girls
and white-haired men. The particular
point at which the water is taken
which works this wonderful change is
kept a secret.

AN ENGINEER's IGNORANCE.

Every effort is made. said a railroad
officer in a recent conversation, to pro-
cure trustworthy, faithful employees,
but all kinds of receptions are gotten
up to throw us off. I have one case in
mind. There is q rule on the road for
which I labor which compels not only
the conductor but the engineer to sign
the receipts of all train orders. When
my superintendent took charge he in
sisted upon having that rule adhered to,
and in that way he ascertained that
there was engineer in the employ
of the company who could neither read
nor write, and he had been running an
engine for fifteen years. Had an acci-
dent happened to his train, in which
accident persons were injured, and in
consequence Of such injuries an investi-
cation had been ordered, and the fact
of the engineers ignorance Teen estab-
lished, we could not have saved our
selves in a suit for heavy damages, and
beside that, would have been fined
heavily for allowing such . state Of
things.
His cunning came into play. He was
q married man and his wife had been q
school-teacher, and through her efforts
he had been able to commit to memory
the rules as printed on the time.cards.
and he had them SO thoroughly fixed in
his mind that he could point them
out on the card, but he was just as liza
BILE to do 80 with the card bottom-side
mp as in any shape. He was . good en-
gineer. but we had to let him go. He
went home very much charinged, but
he went to work to learn to read and
write. He spent one whole winter ct
It. but he va too. far along in years to
be ~successful. and finally WA obliged
to give u up, and to-day he Il firing on
the road.

DISTINGUISHED Tourists,

Notable in the history of industries is
the sailing of the shipload of American
working people to the Paris exposition
and Europe. The time has come when
mechanics and sewing women can have
their summer trip to Europe like the
millionaircs. They owe this trip to the
Scripps Newspaper league. Great Brit
ain, at government expense, sent num-
Der of working people to study the indus
trial arts represented in the Paris exposi-
ton. Private enterprise sends the same
kind Of party from the United States
much better way. The perfect civiliza-
ton will be reached when, out of their
own savings, mechanics can take an
outing over seas.
More than fifty trades are represented
in the intelligent and good looking peo-
pie who by this time have reached for
eign shores. They 60 especially to in
vestigate the manual trades of Europe,
and to get hints for self Improvement
We may expect the effect Oh our own
industries will be apparent, for in pains
taking care and thoroughness as well as
artistic finish European worEmen are
frequently superior to those of America.
Four women are of the representative
Americans who sailed on the City of
Rome, One is Leonora Barry, the earn
est. eloquent organizer of the Knights of
Labor The other ladies are a cloak
maker, a dress maker, and young lady
who understands every branch of to-
bacco manufacture Members Of all the
party will examine their own particular
trades in Europe.
Julian Hawthorne and other able writ.
ers are along as correspondents. There
are also an artist and a photographer.
Among points of interest visited will be
the great Krupp gun works at Essen,
Germany; the ship building yards on the
Clyde, at Glasgow, and the cutlery man.

too, they will study long and well some

Editor Dana's Garden.

\ writer in Garden and Forest pic
lures Charles \. Dana's country home
as one Of the paradises of the new world.
1t is on a beautiful Is acre island called
Dosoris, lying in the Sound, near the
north shore of Long Island.
Sixteen years ago, soon after he had
brought The New York Sun to a state of
prosperity, Mr.. Dana bought Dosoris
and began to make it the ideal country
homo. The whole island is occupied by
the house. lawn and gardens. Mr. Dana
has an especial love for trees, "our
brothers Of the field" as the poet puts
it. His trees and shrubs constitute one
of the most complete private collections
in the world. They are grouped in such
a way as to show to best advantage the
noble vistas of semi-marine landscape
that meet the eye in the outlook from
DOSOriS.
\ sea wall surrounds the island. Even
it is covered with vines Along the high
tide mark, growing in the white sand,
are locust and red cedar trees, verdure
thus creeping to the waters edge. Among
the trees are twenty-nine varieties of
oak and thirty-nine NAPLES. There are
thirty-eight varieties of pines and twen-
ty-three Of frs. All the continents have
been ranSacked to contribute hardy trees.
In the fruit garden there are 400 pear
trees and sixty varieties of grape. Among
shrubs are 2,70O azaleas. Of roses the
ever blooming Bourbon, Mrs. Degraw,
is Mr.. Dana's favorite. The collection
of orchids is very great. AL these grow
ing things are kept in the best condition.
The home is perfectly appointed. Here
the editor of The Sun gains the youth
which he seems to keep eternally.

New York citizens responded to the
call of the mayor for a conference on
the subject of the worlds fair in 1892
in way that makes it certain the fair
will be held With such men as the
Astors, Vanderbilts, P. T. Barnum and
other many millionaired men as back
ers of the enterprise, the money to make
it a SUCCESS will all be readily raised in
New York city. New York does not go
much on monument building, perhaps,
but to an enterprise in which real live
people, and millions of them, are inter-
ested, her purse strings will always
open to an unlimited extent

Immediately after DR.. Mellow was ac-
quilted for killing Capt. Dawson his pun
ishment began. Old friends and neigh
bors turned their faces the other way
when he passed, and clergymen in south

him. Finally even his medical brethren
refused longer to countenance him, and
he was expelled from the South Carolina
State Medical society. Life under such
circumstances is not all boon.

is flowing into the Bank of France at

Lieut.. Schwatka claims to have found
in Mexico, in southern Chihuahua, a
race of cliff dwcllers who inhabit cave
homes, precisely like the deserted ruins
found in Arizona and New Mexico.
These cliff dwellers are unlike either the
Indian or the negro. They are sun wor-
shippers. On the day of birth their
children are exposed to the full rays of
the sun. Schwatka says there are still
several thousands of this strange, pre-
historic people, and that they are armed
only with stone hatchets and bows and
arrows.

Japan has been for generation the
favorite field for Christian missionary
operations. Yet it now presents the
strange spectacle of an American, Henry
S. Olcott, travelling through it's length
and BREADTH preaching to the people
that their salvation and their hope is in
holding fast to Buddhism. He tells
them their own religion, purified and re-
formed, is best for them. Strangely
enough, Mr.. Olcott is creating excite
ment and wild enthusiasm. His audi
ences number sometimes 1900 persons.
He speaks his sermons in English, and
they are translated by an interpreter,
sentence by sentence, to the Japanese.
