Three New York Women.

Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher has re-
turned from Florida and is seen on
the streets occasionally, a little figure,
slight, white-haired and folded in a
black shawl. When met her recent
ly there was the faintest touch of pink
on her cheek. giving her that delicate,
shell-like beauty which sometimes goes
with a soft white skin and white curls.
She had a bunch of lilies of the valley
pinned on her bosom.
On the same day | passed within the
hour two other widows. Mrs. Custer
in black dress and with winning eyes,
and Mrs. Julia Dent Grant, who does
not walk far, but was crossing the
sidewalk from her carriage. Mrs
Custer has the record, | believe, of
never making an acquaintance who
does not wish to become her friend.
She walks the pavement with splen-
didly free step, in which one could al
most fancy "reminiscences of the
plains. A more prosaic explanation is
found in her broad-soled, common
sense shoes. She is devoted to her
husbands memory and absorbed in her
literary occupations.

Nothing Saved.

A little boy was walking with his
father one day. AS they trudged along
the father saw an old horseshoe lying
in the road, and babe the boy pick it up
and take it along.
The lad looked at the shoe carelessly
and replied that it was not worth car
rying, whereupon the father said moth
ing more, but quietly picked it up HIM
self. He pretty soon sold the old iron
for penny at a roadside smithy, and
invested the coin in cherries.
The day was hot. and presently the
man noticed that his son was begin
ming to cast longing eyes upon the
box of cherries, but did not offer any
to his son. He made pretense of eat
ing them, and dropped one to the
ground rs if by accident.
The boy picked it up quickly and ate
it with relish.
A little further on another dropped,
and this, too, the lad lost no time in
securing. So one by one all the cher
ries were dropped and picked up.
'Well." remarked the father, when
the last one had been eaten. lit did
not pay to pick up that horseshoe, per-
haps; but if you had stopped once for
that you wouldn't have needed to bend
twenty times for the cherries"
The moral of the story is an old one,
but more generally known than heed
ed: Lazy folks take the most pains"

About Watch Springs.

'.How long will it last?n asked a
man of a jeweler who had just told him
that he would have to have a new
spring in his watch.
Maybe week; maybe year or
two" answered the ieweler
But this one has lasted four or five
years. said the man. protesting1y.
Yes; but they don't make that kind
of spring nowadays. 1t really does
seem as though they had lost the art of
tempering watch springs. l sent out 3
hundred dollar watch the other day,
brand new, just from the factory. and
the spring broke within twentv-four
hours. The manufacturers have spent
thousands of dollars within the past few
years experimenting to get back the
old quality for the springs. aud they
have failed. The springs seem to he
getting worse, rather than BETTER

A Story by Dumas the Elder.

Dumas the elder often laughed at
English stiffness and reserve. One of
his stories was this:
"One day Victor Hugo and | were
invited to dine with the Duke of Du-
cazes. Among the guests were Lord
and Lady Palmers on-of course this
happened before the February revolu-
ton. AT midnight tea was handed
around. Victor Hugo and | were sit
ting side by side. chatting merrily.
Lord and Lady Palmerston had ar
rived very late, and there had. couse-
quently, been no opportunity to in
troduce us before dinner. After dim
ner, it seems it was forgotten. English
customs, consequently, did not allow
us to be addressed by the illustrious
couple. All at once young Decazes
came up to us and said.
Ny dear Dumas, Lord Palmerston
begs you will leave chair free be-
tween you and Victor Hugo
Il fastened to do as he wished. We
moved away from each other. and
placed chair between us. Thereupon
Lord Palmerston entered. holding the

lister, remember well that this day at
thirty-tive minutes past II you were
sitting between Alexander Dumas and
Victor Hugo-an honor which you will
probably never enjoy again in your
lifetime
Then he offered his arm again to
his wife, and took her back to her seat
without saying a word to us, because
we had not been presented"

1t Is a Good Plan to Keep Books.

The advice which Daniel Webster
gave to a neighbor of his in the fol-
lowing anecdote might be followed
with advantage by many people. In
deed. the reader will be like to think
that it might have been followed to
good advantage by Mr.. Webster HIM
self:
On one occasion a man presented to
Mr. Webster bill for payment.
why, Mr.. N" said the states
man. 1T seems to me that l have paid
that BILL"
Mr.. N protested that it had not
been paid. and MIR. Webster told him
to call in a few days and he would at
tend to the matter. After the man
had gone Mr.. Webster asked his clerk
to look over Il quantity of bills and see
If he could find receipt for the
amount. To his surprise two receipts
were found. indicating that the bill
had been paid twice.
In due time Mr.. N called just at
the dinner hour, as it CHANGED, and
Mr.. Webster invited him in to dine.
After the meal was over they proceed
ell to the business in hand.
MIR. N, do you keep bOoks" Mr..
Webster inquired.
No" was the reply.
Il thought so" said Mr.. Webster.
Now, | advise you to keep books. If
you had kept books you would have
known that l had this receipted bill, !"
showing him one.
Mr.. n - was greatly surprised and
mortified. and apologized as best he
could for his mistake.
Yes. it is always good plan to
keep books" continued Mr.. Webster,
showing him second receipt.
Then, knowing Mr.. N to be an
honest man, he suggested that per-
haps receipsed bills had been present
ed but really left unpaid, and insisted
that Mr.. N--should take the money.

Dandruff is probably the most prev
alent affection of the scalp. us well as a
source of annoyance. 1t should be
borne in mind that dandruif pertains
to the scalp and not to the hair, except
as it becomes mingled with it. The
most natural method of removing it is
with the comb and brush. but the comb
should be carefully used. Part the
hair, and an operator will soon ac-
quire the faculty of lifting the scales
without scattering them through the
hair. When this has been done the
brush will remove the stray particles.

accumulation than to submit to the
necessity of scrlping it from the skin,
and fortunately there are simple rem
edies which. ia the majority of cases,
are effective. Good housekeeping.
