Simple and Suitable Coiffeures Are Now

According to the New York Sun the
present styles Of hair-dressing incline
to greater simplicity and more apparent
naturalness. Some of the graceful and
becoming modes now in vogue find their
exact counterparts in the fashions prev
alent among ancient Roman and Grecian
DANES During the period when physi-
cal culture reached the highest point OF
perfection hair-dressing was of the sim
plest and preserved the contour Of the
head as near as possible. Artificial hair
was not then in high favor, although
the Egyptian women, who were COM
PEELED by custom to have their heads
shaved, substituted for their natural
tresses wigs deliberately curled and
braided. The color most priced for these
was coppery reddish hue much like
that now in demand. In selecting Golf

taken into account. A pallid, slender girl

adapted to blonde or golden hair, while
the pompadour roll is the most dignifed
and stately fashion yet invented for
gray hair Crimped or waved hair, in
troduced by Lady Brooke, although APP

difficult, for the waves must be uniform,
and this effect can only be procured by
an experienced maid or hair-dresser.

STORIES OF sPARRoWs.
Queer Things Seen by Close Observer Of
the Pugnaciou Birds.


A correspondent OF the Listener, who
writes from Jamaica Plain, is a close OBJ
server Of the sparrow. "A week OF two
SINCE" he writes, ''as / was passing
through Burrough street, my attention
was attracted by loud cries of cav! caw!,
and l saw wheeling and turning in the
air two crows, who were followed or
chased by two sparrows. The sparrows
were evidently trying to reach and
alight on the backs of the crows. The
cries OF the crows soon brought others
who joined in the fight, all wheeling,
ducking, rising and turning together,
the sparrows continuing the chase not
withstanding the increasing numbers
By this time there was eight or ten
crows in the fight all aiding in the out
cries. 1t was evident, however, that the
sparrows could not sustain the fight.
They were falling behind; and il one OF
the other crows came nearer than the
one they were chasing, they left the
first and endeavored to alight on the
nearest. At this time loud cav was
heard from magnificent crow high In
the air coming from the South, who
joined the others. But the contest had
ceased the sparrows had given up the
chase. The crows gathered themselves
together, and, under the lead of the last
conner, departed in southerly direc-
tion, fifteen in number. The sparrows
are charged with fighting and chasing
away our native birds. This is the first
instance / have seen of 1t, and it GER
tainly showed great pluck on the part OF
the sparrows.
Too much pluck, perhaps, considering
its results. The sparroys certainly do
drive away other birds-and then they do
not eat the insects that the other birds
would have eaten, unless they can't get
any thing to eat around the houses and
streets 1t is also provable that English
sparrows eat caterpillars 1t is
also provable that hens eat
shoestrings; but they will not eat
them if some body will feed them better
food.
Ine same correspondent tellS tnlS
story: 1.-TWO or three years ago the
sparrows had troubled me by building
their nests on top of the conductors, un-
der the caves of the house. l accord
ingly caused their nests to be REMOVED
and covered the places with wire
netting to prevent farther access to them.
Some little time after noticed an APP
parently continuous fight of sparrows
to one of these covered places. On ex-
animation found two spar
rows imprisoned therein, and
the outside sparrows busy bringing them
food. 1t seemed the wire netting had
not been closed at the bottom, and these
birds, having gone inside, did not know
how to release themselves, and but for
the aid of their fellows would have been
starved to death. l set them at liberty
and closed the aperture, since which ]
have not been troubled by their nests.
How long these birds had been fed by
the outsiders / know not; apparently
they had been imprisoned several days,

FLATTERING A POET.
An Experiment Attended by Very Que
tiOnabIe Succags

An Experiment Attended by Very Oues-
tionable Success.
Not long ago poet was staying at
seaside hotel, whore he attracted some
attention as celebrity. Among the
guests was a woman who wished her
daughter to seem on intimate terms
with literature, and, as far as possible,
with literary people. Accordingly she
set the girl at work to learn one of the
poets shorter pieces-which might
have been clever move to gain her
point, but the effect of it was somewhat
injured by the daughters carelessness
and ignorance.
On the sane page with the poem in
question-in a book of selections--was
one by another and more famous writer,
and the girl made the mistake of COM
hitting this instead of the one which
her mother had intended.
At the first opportunity the young lady
said to the poet in the presence of sew
eral of the guests:
ut is such a delight to meet one
whose lines | have carried in my mind
for years! The poem which love bet
ter than any other in the world is one
Of yours" ~
Indeed" answered the smiling poet.
II had not flattered myself that | had
written any thing worthy OF such honor.
What is it?"
With an affected emphasis the girl
repeated the poem she had learned, the
company, of course, remaining silent
till she had finished.

guests, who did not recognize it.

sorts of shapes and patterns, from the

Cut glass is valued according to the
depth of the cutting, so that for the
finest kinds of ware the glass must be
made thick. The thicker it is and the
deeper the cutting the more easily will
breaks occur; therefore, for common use
such kinds as thin and only slightly cut
are by far the best
