The Use Of Perrnmes.

From the N. =. Tribune
No truly elegant and refined woman ever
makes use of violent perfumes. 1t is not by
mere change of fashion that scents are so much
less employed of late than they were some years
ago. Many doctors assert that the powerful
essences with which women saturate their
clothes and handkerchiefs are often the direct
cause OF headaches and nervous disorders of all
kinds. Good taste alone should prevent ladies
from using anything but the most delicate and
evanescent of extracts; everything about a
young and pretty woman ought to be sweet
smelling, but not to the degree of making this
sweetness offensive to her encourage 10 at
tain this aim all the drawers and cupboards,
chitfoniers, and clothes-presses in woman's
dressing-room should be lined with large fiat
sachets filled with mixture of orrs-root, violet
AMBER and peau d'Espagne powder. These
particular odors agree well and blend together
with result which, without being strong, is
both enduring and extremely agreeable
Furthermore, the linen when returned from the
laundry should be sprinkled lightly with laven-
der and verbena water, process which removes
the odor OF starch and soap lingering in its deli
cate folds,

How Songs Become Popular Airs.

How Songs Become Popular Airs.
From the N. Y. Star.
Simply the melody of a catch nursery rbyme.
with song appended usually is taken up
quickly by the popular ear This was the case
with Crock a-bye, Baby which was written by
Mrs. Canning, of Boston. "The Letter that
Never Came, by Paul Dresser, was published
in Chicago in 1887, and was first introduced by
Miss May Howard who in fact first sprang
into popularity by singing it. She is fortunate
enough to share the profits of the song with her
author, and her commission on it sometimes
reaches from 5000 to $500 month
&White Wings'' was written and set to music
by Banks Winter, and was introduced bv
Thatcher, Primrose & Vests Minstrel Company
in 1882. 1t was an immediate success.
A song which has not vet lost its place in
public favor, and which will probably always
rank among the prettiest of Scotch ballads, is
"Annie Laurie" a young man named Wal
lace wrote it on his deathbed and dedicated it
to the girl of that name, whom cruel parents
had prevented from marrying him. Annie
Laurie was born in 1897, and was about seven
teen years old when the incident occurred
Wallace was one of her fathers farm laborers,
and was discharged when it was found that he
was in love with Annie. He went home and
was taken i'll the night of his arrival When
she heard of his illness Annie Laurie went to
his bedside and waited on him till he died.
1t was Billy Rice, the famous minstrel, who
HTSJ SdnS 'lLlSJel W My lale Oh woe, Wllcn
was made so popular in Francis Wilson's
"Oolah." 1t was written by Eugene Field sew
eral years ago, and was first published in The
Chicago NcCs.
"Down Went McGinty'' made hit at Tony
PASTORS about year ago, when a variety per-
former, in doing his "turn,' sang it. The song
was evolved from the teeming brain of a young
Irish Bohemian named Joe Flynn. He wrote it
in April, 1888, but did not think enough of it at
the time to put it on the market fits origin
Mr.. Flynn says; "lf you ever heard the story of
the Irishman who was carried in hod to the
top of a seven-story building by friend as the
result of bet that the feat could not be accom-
plished, and who remarked on paying over the
money, We'll, Pat, you've won fairly, but when
your feet slipped at the sixth story, be jabers, L
had hopes,' you will know what suggested the
first verse of the song. If you have ever heard
the air of the old song about the man who had
wooden leg and who had mo tobaccy in his old
tobaccy box you can guess where the sugges-
tion for the tune came FROM
Mr. Nolan, an Englsh-born Irishman, is the
author of "Annie Rooney" Itwas never copy
righted, and every publisher put it on SALE 1t
would have been worth 100000 to any one pub
Usher who could have bought it outright.

Actor and Athlete.

From the N. Y. World.
Barrymore is the only one of the distinctively
handsome actors on the New York stage who is
more popular with men than with women. His
magnificent physical proportions and his fame
as a wrestler, boxer, and athlete have spread
pretty much over the world. He once held the
heavyweight championship at Oxford, and in
the many rows into which his impetuous nature
has led him in this country he has come off
victorious without exception. He does not
look it, but he is in the early forties, and his
hair has thinned out wofully on the top of his
head. On the stage he wears toupee, and it is
so artfully put on that it is impossible to detect
the line where the real hair stops and the arti-
fetal thatch begins. Mr.. Barrymore commonly
retires at in the morning and arises at 10. He
considers five hours sleep ample for man, and
he has for years maintained perfect degree of
health on the allowance.

Flowers at Funerals.

FTOIn IOnuOn Truth.
At the funeral of an infant or a young
maiden-on the bier of an Ophelia, for ex-
ample-a profusion of flowers may have a GER
tain poetic fitness. But nothing, to my mind
can be more grotesquely out of place than a pile
of snowwhite garlands and floral crosses upon
the coffin of some battered old sinner, for
whom in life both flowers and crosses had
equally little meaning or attraction. In truth
as everybody knows, the floral displays which
now give such a May-Day character to our
hearses, are signs not of respect for the de-
parted, but of the purchasing power of the
living For the most part they are either mere
empty compliments or expressions of ostenta-
tious snobbery, and they deserve no more tolera-
tion than the hired plumes and scarves by
which the ''mouners'' of the last generation
indicated their feelings.

The Dawn Far Off in Russia.

From the Fortnightly Review.
The genuine Russian gentleman and the ideal
Russian lady-both exist, and are to be found
among sectarian peasants as we'll as in ex-
elusive salons of st. Petersburgh-are among the
nobest specimens of civilized humanity: the
refreshing unconventionality of thought and
expression, the graceful simplicity of manner,
the wonderful delicacy of feeling the gener-
GUS aspirations and noble yearnings-m
if they grew to be the characteristics of the
nation, effect great things. But is there any
serious hope Of this? Let the Archbishop of
Kherson and Odessa reply, who himself sprung
from the people, has spent a long life in their
midst working for their veal, like a solitary
swallow hopelessly coming to make spring be-
fore the sap stirs within the trees, the fral
blossoms are hung out on the branches, or even
the snowdrop has looked up at the sun. Son
the whole" he said last year. on a very solemn
occasion, "the state of things in Russia is sad
The peoples minds are .wofully dark, and
there is no sign of the coming dawn" Nor is
it likely that day will break for many genera
tions yet to come.

Parting the Hair in the Middle.

FROM tne N. Y. World.
The foreman of one of the largest barber
shops in New York is authority for the state
ment that the number of men who part their
hair in the middle is increasing every day. The
fashion has grown, according to this expert in
the matter of dressing hair, so rapidly that it
would not be out of the way to say that fully
one-half the men who formerly derded this
once much-condemned fashion are gradually
getting around to it. ''They begin" said the
barber yesterday, "by parting the hair little
higher up on the head by degrees until they
finally get it exactly in the centre. l remember
very well when it was very rare thing for
man to part his hair directly over the nose, but
all of the contempt and fun which such pro-
ceeding evoked are now replaced by Indifference
as far as the public is concerned. Twenty years
ago politician who parted his hair in the mid
die courted disaster at the polls. Now no end
of statesmen, prominent or otherwise, wear their
hair in dandified fashion, and it does not even
call forth remark. The only thing that the
rank and file strenuously and positively object
to is masculine bang. They won't have that

Carter and the Causes.
Anaconda Standard Carter is game sort
of fellow. He still thinks the Reed regime
was right and he proposes to stay with it.
He undoubtedly realizes that he is defeated.
but in our opinion he has not yet got to
bottom facts in searching for the causes
that led to his defeat. Hedoubtless has the
right of it in saying that the republican ma
jority in the house will not be disposed to
tinker the Mckinley bill-it is too late for
that. Bad as the measure ID, it will have to
stand for time. unless perchanoe Mr..
Commodore Power gets in his aggressive
work in the binding-twine business. As to
the elections bill, however, we would like to
wager Mr.. Carter suburban building site
in Helena that congress will not pass it. for
the manifest reason that the republicans
will not dare to do it.
According to the way Mr.. Carter puts it,
his own defeat was due to over-confdence,
to the failure Of republicans to register,
and to the fact that the capital question
entered into the Aght. Well. il this re-
cital Of causes is satisfactory to Mr.. Carter
the rest Of US can afford to be satisfied; but
if the Inter Mountain told the truth when
it declared that Garter was better friend
OF Butte than Dixon" how on earth did the

If Mr.. Depew is the genial humorist
we take him to be, he will enjoy the
owl-like gravity with which the Buffalo
Express assures him that "We believe
he will be elected president in 1886,
after Mr.. Harrison has served his second
term" The New York Times, however.
half anticipates Harrison's denomination
two years hence. 1t says if Mr.. Blaine
declines the republican nomination as
worthless, "then nobody will be
found willing to take it but Mr..
Harrison, to whom worthless nominal
ton would naturally go, both as an ex-
act equivalent for his public services
and as a just measure Of his personal
and party value" There is great enthu-
siasm among the brethren.

for the place, although the eminent fit
ness and parliamentary skill Of Crisp, Of
Georgia, are universally conceded. The
veteran correspondent Of the New York
Times, Mr.. e. G. Dunnell, who is a
close observer of men and events at the
capital, comments IN an interesting way
on some Of the candidates. He says:
In some of the most exciting contests on
the floor during the last session Mr.. Outh-
waite, Of Ohio, was conspicuous not only
,oy his familiarity with the principles of
parliamentary law, but by the courage with
which he met and disputed the tyrannical
acts of Reed. He did not yield to temper
and let fly epithets.
When the republicans were most conf
dent and least just and demanded victim
for punishment, they pounced upon MIR.
Bynum, of Indiana. They did not frighten
Mr.. Bynum, who decorated the speaker
with multiplicity of titles and treated the
censure of the majority az if it were a
badge of honor.
Both are candidates for the speakership.
Both men are from the north. Both are
stalwart democrats.
If there is a strong sentiment in the
Fifty-second congress against the election
of speaker who comes from southern
state, and it is deemed necessary to refuse
to elect Mr.. Crisp, who is unquestionably
the best qualified man in thu democratic
list for the place, the reasons for rejecting
Crisp would hold good against Mills. Mr..
Bynum would make drawer speaker. MIR.

But of all the men who have been re-
ferred to as candidates from the north, the
man who would be clearest and like Carlisle
in judicial fairness is Mr.. William L. Viii
son, of West Virginia. He would be an
ideal speaker.

The Forthcoming message Of Presi-
dent Harrison ought to be literary
curiosity. The people having almost
unanimously told him that they non
concur in his previous recommends
tions it will be interesting to see
whether he will tell them they are all
wrong, or recommend that they have
their own way.
