Der OF the dual alliance occupied masterly
position. 1t was holding the snapper's
small tail in its mouth, and, though the
Jaws of the common turtle are not usually
very formidable, it maintained its grip with
the tenacity of bulldog.
The snapper had taken the other turtle by
Its wrlnkled throat, and it would soon have
brought that part of the combat to an end
hao 1t not opened its jaws every few mo-
ments TO try to see what it was that was
chewing SO vigorously at its rear. Owing
TO It's anatomy this was, of course, impossi-
BILE, and each time it turned to renew opera-
tlons against the enemy in front that eau
tlous creature had drawn its head deep into
Its shell, and, though it did not attempt to
run away, the snapper, hampered as it was
behind, found considerable difficulty in
pushing its own smaller neck into the aper-
ture and dragging out the reluctant fore
quarters of the water turtle.
AT last the snapper seemed to understand
where the remedy for its trouble Law. and
the next time it seized the lacerated throat
1t took hold to stay. The water turtles
eyes bulged, and then the lbs SLOWLY closed.
II was soon dead, and then the snapper
brought its whole strength to bear upon its
tail, which 1t tried to pull into its she'll, 1t
might have succeeded, but the lads were be-
coming impatient. and they slaughtered the
two survivors with their sticks. Through
out the battle the turtles had not noticed
their presence.

EINGEING THE HAIR.
A Tonsorial Art Tint is Quite Startling TO
the UninifinIed.

A Tonsorial Art Tint is Quite Startling {.
the Uninifinred.
The spectacle of one man going over thu
head of another with a lighted torch il
somewhat startling, but now quite common
in Pittsburg barber shops. Singeing the
hair was first practiced about ten years ago
but the idea never took hold of Pittsburg
BARRIERS until recently. True some few have
practiced it for several years, but only
within month or so has it become q COM
mon every day thing.
The barber uses a lighted wax taper and a
comb. With the latter he raises the hair
until the ends show evenly, then he runs the
lighted taper along the comb, singeing each
hair. The BARRIERS declare it is the only
method to stop hair from falling out, once it
has begun. The singeing closes the end of
the hair, and thus stops the escape of those
fluids which seem necessary to growth.
Thin, fuzz-like hairs soon swell out, and be-
come as heavy as those of normal growth.
care many people having their hair
singed?" asked DISPATCH reporter of q
well-known barber.
II have singed as many as 20 heads a
week myself" he answered. 81 suppose
this shop slnges 80 heads week at least,
and this is not the only shop in town that
singes hair. 1t has been practiced good
while in the East, but the fad seems to have
struck PittsDurg in earnest only a few
weeks ago."
"Does it cure dandruff?"
"No, 1 think not; but il a man has only a
little fuzz left it will insure him a good
head of hair again. Of course, if the hair
follicle is dead, neither singeing nor any
other process will make hair grow from it.

food. The boy now lived very com fortably
and grew quite fond of his dogs. One bright
morning as he was trudging merrily along
he met a carriage draped in black drawn by
lour noble black horses; which hung their
heads and walked slowly, as if conscious OF
some sorrow. The coachman wore q black
livery and had bands of Grape around his
hat Within the carriage sal a beautiful
young girl, on whose fair face were traces of
tears and great distress. Paul asked the
cause of all this sadness, and learned that in
the mountains there lived huge dragon
that threatened to destroy the city and its
inhabitants unless the Kings daughter was
sacrificed to him, and in order to, save his
people, the King must give his daughter to
be swallowed by the monster. Therefore
all the city was in mourning while the
young girl was being carried to the noun
tain.
Paul had great compassion for the Kings
daughter, and followed after the carriage
When the Princess alighted, and sadly be-
gan her walk up the mountain, the bov
walked beside her, although the coacbman
warned him that he would perish. When
they had gone about half way they heard a
great noise as of thunder, and beheId COM

ately the second dog rushed upon the dragon
and soon stretched him liieless upon the
ground Paul sprang upon the great body,
aud taking three of the monsters teeth, put
them away in his purse as trophies of his
victory. The Princess shed tears of joy
over her happy escape, and wished her res
cuer to go with her to her fathers palace,
where he would be richly rewarded.
The boy replied: "I wish to travel
farther in the west, but in six months L
shall RETURN
They now descended the mountain, and
found the coachman who from below had
been witness OF the scene. AS they drove
back to the city daring thought came to
the mind Of the coachman, and stopping the
carriage on the middle Of a bridge under
which rolled great river, ne said to the
Princess:
Your rescuer has gone away, and did
not desire your rewards. am a poor man,
and 1t will please me greatly TO receive
honors from the King. Therefore, you must
tell your father that 1 saved you from the
dragon. Unless you do this, and promise
me never to reveal the secret, 1 shall hurl
you into this foaming river, and none shall
be the wiser; for they will think that Won
have been devoured by the dragon"

AT the foot of a high mountain in one ol
the Eastern countries stood a small cottage
in which lived an old shepherd with his
two children, Paul and Helen. Although
they were poor, and had little money, they
were good and honest, and lived very hap
PLY in their humble home. One time the
shepherd fell very i'll, and when it was
certain that he could not recover, he called
his son and daughter to him and said: INV
dear children, 1 must now leave you alone
in the world. have no riches for you; this
little cottage and three sheep are all that 1
possess. They are yours; do with them as
you think best"
After the old shepherd had died, and been
laid to rest in the old village churchyard,
Paul said to his sister: "Now, Helen, you
shall have the cottage and ali that is in it
for yours 1 shall take the sheep, and 60
out into the world to seek my fortune.
When l have become rich, great man, I
shall return for you, and we shall leave this
poor little house, and live in some grand
palace"
Helen had great confidence in her good,
brave brother, and, although she bade him
fearful goodby, she firmly believed that he

and then return Tor her. For many days
Paul travelled over the dusty highways and
through green fields without meeting any
adventures. Tired and discouraged, and
not knowing which way to turn, he stopped
TO rest one day under large tree that stood
at the cross roads. Suddenly he saw near
him man with three large black dogs.
GOOD day, nv boy" said the man; "I
see you have three fine sheep there. What
do you say to giving them to me In ex-
change for nv dogs?"
In spite of his sadness Paul could not help
laughing at this strange proposal.
'Why," ne said, ''it costs me nothing to
keep my sheep, for they feed on the grass by
the roadside. But how could huy meat for
the dogs, when 1 can scarcely get iood
enough tor myself?"
my dogs are of a peculiar kind" said
the stranger, "and will furnish you with
food, instead OF your providing for them;
and they will bring you great fortune. If
YOU say to the smallest one, bring food
you will Immediately be supplied. II you
say to the second one, kill him he will at
once destroy your enemy. And if TO the
third you cry, help me, he will deliver you
in time of trouble"
Paul was finally persuaded to make the
exchange, and when the stranger had led
away the sheep he said, bring food, and at
once the small dog darted away, and soon
returned carrying basket of the choicest

F0OLING THE GAMBLERS.
How nm IrIshmnn Got His Pockets Filled
With Money ai Monte Carlo.

How nm IrIshmnn Got His Pockets Filled
With Money At Monte Carlo.
Whitehall Review.l
The legend goes-ior suppose there is
more fancy than fact about it-that the au-
thorities connected with the gaming tables
at Monte Carlo endeavor, if anyone commits
suicide within their grounds to place bank
notes in the dead mans pockets
so that it cannot be urged that
the suicide was occasioned through
losses at the tables. Aware OF this practice,
an Irishman. firing his pistol in the air,
instantly lay down, and remaining motion
less fegned to be dead. In less than no
time the attendants had rushed in the di-
rection from which the shot had proceeded,
and, discovering the PROSTATE man, imme-
diately stuffed his pockets full of bank
notes.
The next step was to rush off and collect
disinterested witnesses who would be able
to declare that the man must have been q
victim to love or madness, but not to losses
at the tables. 1t is perhaps, needless to
add that on his discoverers' turning their
backs the suicide became very much alive,
and evinced pressing anxiety to reach his
hotel in safety and unobserved.

wishes Of this wicked man, and promised 70
! declare him as her rescuer There was great
rejoicing in the city when the Kings daugn-
ter returned. The black flags were taken
down, and iu their stesd waved gay banners,
while shouts of Joy and music were to be
heard in the streets The King sent forth a
decree that in six months grand festlval
should be held, at which time the coacnpan
should be crowned the first knight IN the
Kingdom. The poor Princess hoped for the
return OF Paul, but did not dare to make
mention of her true rescuer. At last came
the time for the great festival; and as the
procession was marching through the streets,
a stranger, leading three dogs, entered the
city. He asked the cause of all this rejoic-
ing, and being told, he cried: ut is false;
] saved the Kings daughtert'
For his impudence, as the people called
it, Paul was thrown into dark prison.
After a short time, he heard a paving and
scratching at the door, and recognized the
whining of his faithful dog.
"Help me-" he cried, and in a moment
the largest dog had broken through the iron
door and set his master at liberty. -
Then Paul said to the smallest animal:
"Bring foodffrom the Kings table"
When the dog entered the banquet hall Of
the palace the Princess recognized it as be-
longing 10 ner reScuer, anu Oeggeu ner
father to send for the owner. Paul soon ap-
peared, and, having told his story, he
showed the three teeth which he had taken
from the mouth of the dragon.
The wicked coachman was then thrown
into prison, and the poor shepherd boy was
given his place in the royal palace. Paul
did not now forget his sister, but, with the
permission of the King, he again visited his
native village and returned, bringing Helen
with him, who ever afterward had q happy
home in the palace, and found in the Prin-
cess kind and loving friend.
One morning, as the brother and sister
were walking in the palace garden, the three
dogs ran toward them and began to speak.
They said: You have made your fortune
now, and no longer need u.s."
They then became birds and few away,
and were never again seen. PAYsIE,

1t stands on paved dias, and, with its
base, is about ten feet in height. The statue
is placed directly in the center of the great
architectural pile of marble and sandstone
which forms the Garfield monument and
tomb. 1t was the intention of those in
charge OF the memorial to dedicate it on
September 10 last, the eighth anniversary of
President Garfeld's death, but postpone
ment was made necessary by a discovery in
Italy six months before that date. The
statue had been nearly completed when the
sculptors discovered black streak in the
marble which no chisel could etface. The
almost finished statue was cast aside and
the work done over again on a new block OF
marble. This proved to be faultless. and
the new statue was shipped to New York
last October, where the finishing touches
were made
