Wigs Coming Into Fashion.

The craze for WEARING wigs among
English women is finding its imitation
among fashionable women on this sue
of the sea. They assign various reasons
for adopting the custom, among the
most general being the greater convent
ence and durability OF their eoifinres
over those made up OF natural hair.
Women who have really fine hair object
to the torturins processes OF the CURING
iron and hair-dressers' shears, now SO
urivers, y used in arranging the stylish
couture, with its multiplicity oil waves
and curls. London women usually wear
wigs the color of their own hair, so that
they need not be confined TO the constant
wearing OF them. Their chief use seems
to be to carry them to the great balls
and house parties, where il is not always
convenient to take O maid. When q
great social event Is about to take
place, 1t fills the hair-dressers' parlors

An Extraordinary i;eesvcry.

A servant boy was sent to jewellers
with a valuable ring. On the way he
took it out OF its box TO admire, and.
passing over plank bridge, let 1t fall on
q muddy bank. Not being able to fna
1t, he ran away TO sea, finally settled In
q colony, made a large fortune, came
back after many years, ard bought the

which the ring dropped" When he
withdrew the stick, the ring was on
the end OF the stick.

Mr.. Montsomery,s Breakfast.

"Oh, dear, Ferguson" said Mrs.
Montgomery, as the $50 whistle blew
the other morning. II do wish you had
been born a woman, so youmight know
how mean it is to get up and get break
fast
Mr.. Montgomery had been wakeful
that morning, says the Minneapolis
journal, and he determined to teach
his wife a lesson. Stretching his arms
up and yawning vigorously he said:
''Why,I am ashamed ofyou, my dear.
It's no cross for me to get up. You
just lie still and I'll show you how
breakfast ought to be put on."
MI. Montgomery leaped up aud into
his pa~ntaloons, and his wife subsidized
into the pillow with II little dcprecatory
murmur. When Mr.. Montgomery found
himself in the kitchen he looked around
and felt u little out of his element. But
he soon had the fire going and the ket-
tie singing merrily.
Well" he said to himself, as he
rubbed his hands and inhaled the soft
morning air as it came through the open
door, this is famous. Now we'll fry .
little of that mashed potato that was
left over and a chunk of steak, and
everything will be as merry as Il mar.

Farmers Not Represented.

J. j. Mills in Texas Farmer: There
Is a bin before congress in regard to the
business of the supreme court. 1t will
become q law without a doubt, and q
few more favored men will get a pull at
tho treasury teat. That bill was agi-
tated by the lawyers, of whom there
are $4,000 in the United States. There
are $4,000 900 farmers in tho United
States and what has been done with the
only bill that was before congress for
their benefit? Alas! it sleeps the sleep
that knows no waking, and it forces us
to the conclusion that farmers are not
represented, but that this government
is run, managed and controlled by sub
sidized corporations or their plant
tools.

pense as to the prototype of Rosiland.
Mrs. McLatchet at once appreciated
the fact that the distinguished original
of the picture had at the last moment
disappointed Hamish, for nobody in
the person of a beautiful woman,
beautifully dressed, such as she had
pictured to herself as the original of
kosalind, was to be seen. The COM
pany, too, began to express their
doubts and fears, yet the face of Hamish
McLatchet was not that of a man who
had suffered disappointment. On the
contrary. it beamed with good-humor
aud contentment.
"Ah. mother" he said stepping for
ward, ''you r just handy. Please
take this piece Of velvet and cover over
the lower part of the face of Rosalind
with it as far as the eyes"
Mrs. McLatchet obeyed, inwardly
wondering what was going to take
place. At the same time her son
covered tho lower part of the Smith
girls face with a piece of velvet.
Acry of establishment arose as the

OF course Mrs. McLatchet perceived
it, and her face at that moment was in
itself a study.
Now then, mother" said Hamish,

Mrs. McLatchet could but obey, and.
as Hamish at the same time hid Miss
Huggs' head and eyes from sight. the
general delight and establishment a,
the evolution of q face, the beauty Of
which had taken the town by storm,
from the faces of two servant girls
who, to say the best of them, were hui

chorus Of applause and congratulation
But the storm within the mind o
Mrs. McLatchet at the complete turn
ing of the tables on her was SO terrible
that she could have dashed the velvc
into the grinning mouth of Miss Hugs
Perhaps Hamish felt for his mother

Saying of Bismarck.

A French writer has made a collec.
ton of the sayings attributed to Bis.
marck, and some of them are queer
enough:
"A Bavarian is something between
IN Autrichien and q man"
'1f Austria has astonished the world
by her ingratitudc, England will as.
tonish it by her cowardice."
God made man after his own image
and Italians after that of Judas"
The powers are generally repre-.
sented by men of mark. but France is
sometimes represented by marked
men. queer fellows, who are really en-.
voys extraordinary"
1T is easy to recognize the Ambas.
sador of France, because he never
speaks the language of the country tc
which he is sent"
''Thiers a diplomatist! Pshaw, ht
wouldn't know how to sell a horse!m

The Producer Pays 1t.

New York Weekly World: The farm
ers of the United States comprise one
half the working males. They bear
one-half the burden. They are the
chief borrowers. They must pay their
debts by labor. If with them we include
those engaged in the trade and trans
portation of farm products-who sink or
swim, survive or perish, with them
nearly three-fourths are interested in
agriculture, and are in the same CLASH
cation. Every cent that is made by the
rich through the dislocation of gold and
silver must be lost by the workers, the
producers, and the farmers must pay
from one-half to th~ree-fourths.

A Lady Doctor Of Laws.

Following the brilliant success of
Miss Faweett at Cambridge, Mile. Bel
CISCO, a Roumanian lady, took her de-
gree recently as doctor en- droit at the
Paris conservatory, Like Miss Faw-
cett, she obtained the highest place at
the examination for the li%centiate's de-
gree, and her success was not less bril-
liant at the examination for the DOCTORS
degree. A question which was raised
as to whether she should wear a cap and
gown was decided in the negative, one
OF the professors r%emarking that as in
heraldry, metal should not be upon
metal, nor color on color. One gown
ought not, therefore, to hide another.
The subject of Mile. Belcesco's thesis
was the legal status of the mother IN
der the Roman and the French laws.
Mile. Belcesco during the six years in
which she has been a student has never
missed a lesson at the law school. She
Is a I'm looking burnette, with a large

set of ever teeth, and is % years
Old. Her parents gave her a boys
education, and there are few
more accomplished Latinists or HELEN
lists than she. AT the Sorbonne she was
from the first we'll received by the pro-
f%essors, but at the law school she met
some opposition. The young lady was
dressed on her graduating day in a
plainly made black silk dress with col
lar and cuffs, and her dark hair was ar
ranged "a la Greque." The thesis was
read in a charming voice, but with a
| SilGhtl foreign accent. After 1T was
J over she was warmly congratulated by
the jury. Two other ladies, one French
and the other Russian, gained places
behind Mile. Belcesco. A correspond
ent met the latter as she was leaving
and asked whether she intended to stay
in Paris. She said she did not, but was
returning to Bucharest, to be called
there to the bar. II shall never plead
unless for women too poor to pay coun-

father is we'll off. My great aim has
been to open a way for young girls OF

No Hone for Axarice.

Universal Republic: The nan who
produces the wheat owns it; the man
who grinds the wheat has a right to a
portion of the flour; the men who make
the sacks and carry the flour to market
are justly entitled to shares. These arc
equitable property interests. But the
bulk of the lands and the medium of
exchange are claimed and held by those
who do nothing. Interest taking is
slave making, and the most abject slave
of all IS the slave to the vice of avarice.
