Prescriptions in English.

1t is rather serious piece of profes-
sioAal conventionalism which compels a
parent to stand beside the thin veil that
separates his child from eternity with
medicines in his hand the character of
which he knows nothing, except that
they We're called for in Latin and Greek
hieroglyphics and furnished by some
druggist of whose competency he may
also know nothing. A drop too much,
an innocent oversight in the method Of
application, or any other mistake grow
ing out of what he is handling, may be
sufficient to decide the chances of life.
People have the right to know what they
are administering to their loved ones.-

Every one must have noticed the num-
ber Of ladies who wear short, curly hair
at present. 1t may astonish you to learn
that most of these charming curls are
false. Typhoid and other fevers have
played havoc with hair After such an
illness the hair is almost invariably Sc
riously injured, and even if it does not
fall out 1t becomes so dry and harsh that
there is nothing to be done but to shave
it close and wait for new growth. I'm
less the hair grows very rapidly it will
be two or three months before it is long
enough to look we'll, and in the mean
time a wig is a necessity. The short,
curly hair looks more natural than a
dressed wig, and is easier to keep in
order, so most ladies prefer them. FL
derly ladies, however, often use French
twists and pompadours Few people
know how common wigs are. have some
times sold five or six in one day, and a
great many ladies say they are sorry
when their own hair grows out, as the
wig has saved them so much time and
trouble. Interview with Wigmaker.

LIghLning strokes statistles.

The statistics of lightning strokes in
Germany during the past twenty-six
years have been investigated by Herr
Kastner, who shows that the annual
number of cases has more than doubled
in that time. In 1889 there were no
fewer than 1 ,145 strokes. They are most
frequent in the hottest months of the
year, June and July, and in the hottest
hourso Of the day or those following them
from 3 to 4 p. m,) 1t appears that the
thunder storms proceed from the hills,
and the parts of their course most liable
to be struck are woodless and fiat places,
valleys of rivers and low meadows, near
lakes, while wooded and hilly districts
generally escape. This last deduction is
hardly in accordance with our popular
ideas on the subject. London Globe.

They draw their water fresh from deep,

down into the water, there to give up

typical Yarn Of the Champion Liar Of
the Mining Region.
In one of the old mining towns of this
part Of California, away up on the slope
Uf the Sierra Nevadas, there lived sew
eral years ago. during the active work
ing of the hydraulic mines, celebrated
character whose modesty, as he still
lives in the land of the living, forbids
my giving his name. His justly cele-
brated fame arose from his remarkable
power Of narration. He could take any
trivial occurrence that happenedin town,
dress it up in such glowing colors and
throw so many vivid sidelights upon it
that not even the participants them
selves could recognize it, G., B. un-
doubtedly wore for years the belt as
champion liar of that mining region, and
one of his stories, that l happened to
hear him relate, think is worth pre-
serving. l will let him tell it in his own
words:
ut was in the spring of 90 that a
train of siXty-fve ON us started across
the plains for Califony The most ON
us were young men an able to rough it,
but we had three families, with about
dozen young uns among us, an one baby
was born on the way. Wal, of course,
fresh meat soon got mighty scase as
there was so many trains on the trail
ahead on us that all the game had been
killed or scairt away. The young mother
she kept kind o pindlin like after her
kid was born and got sick o bacon an
sich like, an the young fellers that had
hosses o. their own to ride, there being
half dozen on em in our train, used to
scour out on the plains for fresh meat
for her
Zone day three on us got arter a
couple o antelope early in the mornin'
when our hosses was fresh. an we jest
took after em, yellin like Comanches
jest to see 'em run. There was couple
o hills ON the plain that stood seprit,
with about twenty rods O. ground be-
tween 'em at the fur end, and the crit
ters made break to go between em.
We was comm on arter 'em like we
meant to catch 'em, when they see that
this open place between the hills had
grown up with tall chapparral.
"Now an antelope won't run up hill,
nor into thick bresh if he knows it, SO
they stopped till we got Almost up to
'em, an one ON 'em tried to run back by
us, but one o. the boys stopped him with
charge of buckshot. The other one,
seein what an almighty tight place he'd
got into, jest made for the bresh an
tried to jump over it, Wal, sirs, he
made the all firedest jump as ever l see;
but when the critter got up into the air
he seed he hadn't jumped far enough,
an I'm liar if he didn't gather him
self in the air an gin another O the
most TREMENDOUS jumps that any critter
ever did make, an jest went a-sailin'
right ON over the bresh an landed on
t'other side ont slick and cleanP-Cor.

1t was Partisan who hit upon the
novel idea Of a detective camera. He
made a small camera, which he con
cealed in his hat. A shutter in front
was SO cleverly arranged that the joint
could not be seen. At first he used wet
plates, but he soon saw the disadvantage
he was laboring under. Aoont that time
the lightning dry plates were put on the
market and the Frenchmaa's hopes rose
high. He could take his hat anywhere
with him, and no one, at glance, would
suspect its double purpose. Placed on
table facing the person to be taken, the
little button at the back could be pressed
and the exposure made. In some re-
spects the hat camera was immeasurably
superior to the toys now on the market.

Chicago Growing to Be Like New York.
In many things does Chicago day by
day grow more like New York. In past
years one of the most noticeable differ
ences between the dwellers by the lake
and the dwellers by the sea was the diff
ference in their style of dress. New
York business men have long been pune
tilious in regard to their dress. 1t was
a common thing TO see not only the
young men but the older men going to
business in the morning with flower in
the buttonhole and dressed as "west-
erner" would have dressed for some social
event. In Chicago it was entirely diff
ferent. Our best and wealthiest citizens
dressed in manner that would have
caused them to have been noticeable
upon Broadway.
They were too busy to care about or
even think about their clothes Between
the fire and the panic and the big inter-
est they had to pay it took all their en-
ergies, both physical and mental, to con-
trive means to pay their eastern credit
ors. But times have changed since then.
Then were the days of hustle and antici-
patton. Now, while it is still the day of
hustle, anticipation has graduated into
enjoyment. Then nothing was too good
for our creditors, now nothing is too
good for ourselves. Then the business
man wore clothing simply for protection
from the weather. Now he has time for
the amenities and pleasures Of life and
the money to crafty his tastes.-Chi-
