GET YOUR HEAD SOAKED.
The New Boston ss-.rber- kAd Thatis Com
ing Into Vogue Everywh-ra


Ths New Boston ,s-rBer'- rad That's COM
ing Into Vogue Everywhsra
A convivial Hubbite stepped into
Young's hotel In Boston one morning
and confided 10 the tonsorial artist that
his head was swollen from the effects Of
the previous nights debauch and asked
him il he could Lot, metaphorically
speaking, soak his head for him with
wet towel.
The barber immersed the towel in
almost boiling hot water and placed it
across his customers brow.
How does it feel?" he asked, as the
steam began torise.
First-class; give us some more" re-
piled the man under the towel, and the
barber continued the soaking process
for fully half an hour, till at last, when
he took the towel of, the face of his
customer presented the appearance OF
boiled lobster, and the owner of the
swelled head declared that he had
never felt better in his life-that all the
dizziness and the swelling had departed
and left his Uranium clear as bell.
After that, whenever he had been on
racket, he came in on the following
morning to have his head bathed, says
the New York World. He told his
friends about it, and they came also,
and others, seeing its soothing effects,
became regular applicants for the lay
ing on of the hot-water towel.
Then meu who had not been and who
never would go on tears, hearing how
delicious the sensation of the hot water
towel was, tried it, liked it. and there
after asked for it.
Thus the fad became established in
Boston and spread from shop to shop,
and now 1t ID regular custom in all
the big hotels to apply hot water
towel after the shave, and now it is be-
ing established in New York.
Two prominent tonsorial parlors on
Broadway have already adopted it and
other shops are gradually following
suit. t
The time is at hand when the hot
towel custom will be universal, for the
simple reason that it is delightful aud
most refreshing process. Not many
New York BARRIERS yet understand how
to administer the hot towel la Boston.
To be done properly not one towel
alone, nor two, should be applied, but
at least half dozen, completely cover
ing the face with the steaming
cloth, and replacing each towel as it be-
comes cool with other fresh from the
hot water faucet. A dreamy languor
creeps over the senses. On the hottest
day in summer, as we'll as the coolest
in winter, one goes forth feeling much
better for his steaming. The philoso-
ply of the Boston shave is this: The hot
towel draws the blood away from the
brain to the face, making in summer
the skin much warmer than the air,
which, when the towel is Withdrawn,
strikes the skin cool and refreshing.
In winter the blood heated by the
towel offers the same resistance to the
cold as if it were heated by exercise and
the unpleasant chspping of the skin
which sometimes follows the old
fashioned shave is obviated. The steam
also removes the oil which exudes
from the skin and leaves the complex
ion clear and fresh; therefore man
feels better, thinks better, talks better,
and works better after the Boston
shave.

A CHEROKEE ROMANCE.
The InfAtuAtion OF Pennsylvania Girl
for An Indian CHIEF

The 1nfAtuattOn OF n Pennsyivania Girl
for an Indian Chief
On the prominent eminence in the
prairie overlooking the town OF
Tahlequa has been solitary grave
for sixteen years II contained the
remains OF Mary Downing. the wife OF
a full-blooded Cherokee chief, Lewis
Downing Her maiden name was
Mary Aver. She was born in Bethle-
ham. Pa, was educated and accom-
plished. and woman OF wealth. She
had romantic ideas, and her infatua-
ton for Indians was extreme.
In 1865 Chief Lewis Downing was
sent to Washington, ID. C., on busi-
ness for the Cherokees. Though
full-blood, be spoke English quite we'll.
While in Washington he had occasion
to visit Bethieham and accidently
met Miss Aver who fell desperately
In love him. The chief fingered
longer in Bethlehem than he intended,
not being able to tear himself away
from the charms of so fair lady,
and ere his departure had won her
consent to be his bride and share a
place in his wlgwam. 1t was agreed
between the two that she should fol
low him to the territory and be mar
ried at the capital. She required siy
months to dispose OF her property ant
convert her valuables into cash. Chief
Downing returned to his nation, aud
with him it proved 'out OF sight out
Of mind" The ardor OF his love soon
cooled, and he wrote withdrawing his
engagement.
She after reading his letter. re-
marked that lit took two to make a
contract and two to break one." and
so wrote him. Before this letter had
reached the chief he had married a
dusky maiden OF his own tribe. Miss
Aver, having got everything in readi-
ness. started Tor the territory, Ac-
cording to the contract she arrived at
Tahlequa, and, on hearing of his
marriage, made up her mind to make
her home among his people. devoting
her life to their advancement. Years
elapsed, and the chiefs wife died.
Miss Aver still being single. he re-
newed his vows, and was again ac-
cepted. They were married, and
went to the home she had built.
The life she had long dreamed OF
was realized, but not long was she
permitted to fill his house with light
and love ere death claimed her.

Fashions In Beefsteaks.

It appears that there are fashions
even in beefsteaks, and that the present
ones are disadvantage to the pockets
and health of people Of moderate
means. Good Housekeeping quotes a
Chicago butcher as follows:
"In thin, slight cattle the butchers
take out the tenderloin in one piece.
The bone is extracted from what should
be the surloin, and there remains what
are known as homeless butts" The
meat is stripped and makes so-called
sirloins. Naturally this meat is any
thing but prime meat. and brings an
apparent low price. The cheap restau-
rants are the purchasers of this meat,
and through these restaurants the idea
has spread that only these cuts are
good. Now prime cut of porterhouse
from the finest cattle I have to ask from
25 to 28 cents for. The retail small
butcher sells the same cut, but from
this wretched kind of cattle, for from
16 to 18 cents.
Every bit Of meat in the prime car
cass from which cut my porterhouse
and sirloin cuts is better than the very
best cuts from inferior grades of cattle.
People either don't know or won't be-
lieve this, but it is so. I can sell shoul-
der or chuck steaks. for example, from
primest, choicest beef at 8 centa q
pound. It is as good and sweet and
juicy as the sirloin, but. no, people
won't have it, and I have often to abso-
lutely throw it away. Tt stands to rea-
son that shoulder piece of beef or NUT
ton, from prime beef or mutton, is Of
course far better than these so-called
tenderloins from poor, lean cattle. The
top steak off round is equally cheap"
Another butcher says that in England
they never cut steaks from the loin, the
steaks known here as sirloin and ten
derloin. The loin is roasting piece
and the steaks are cut further back
what are known as rump steaks. These
and chuck" steaks are the true steaks.
A good chuck steak from q prime car
cass is twice as healthy, twice as good
eating, and twice as cheap as the pre-
tentious tenderloin of poor, lean beeves.

FROM THE JAPANESE.

so young. he cannot know the way
Thus heard q mother say
At the close Of q summer day;
But be knew the road. q seems
Into the shadow land Of dreams,
And she wept above his clay,
Since, though young, he knew the way.
Gone, where summer moths resort,
Or small boats that leave the port,
Sailing over the stormy brine,
As, with this long sleeve OF mine,
Under the gloom Of alien skies,
Idy my weeping eyes
II could be where the billow whirls,
In 4 lacquered skin, with paddle Of pearls
Young no more. but old and gray,
You may be sure I'd know the way.

People noticing the fine, clear, body
wood which is being furnished The Pilot
office are extremely anxious to know
whence it comes, what the price is and
whether they can get the same man to
bring them some. The wood is furnish
ed by August Cans, of Franklin. The
Pilot man never asks him the price, mover
measures the wood and never examines
it. There is dead certainty that every
thing is all right. August is as indepen-
dent as a king and would lose his farm
rather than break his word. He doesn t
care a cent whether he sells his wood or
not and doesn't need to care.

NEW EASTERN TRUNK LINE.
BIG SCHEME OF THE LACKAwANA TO REACH

BIG SCHEME OF THE LACKAwANA TO REACH
THE GREAT NORTHWEST.
DETROIT, Feb. 14.-It transpired to-
day that railroad scheme of mammoth
proportions is about ready to be sprung
that will have widespread effect on east
ern and western trunk lines and contem-
plates the combination of three great
roads and the building of a connecting
road to the Northwest. The parties in
terested in this scheme are the Canadian
Pacific, Lackawanna andi. Flint Il Pere
Marquette. The Lackawanna, which al
ready has line to Buffalo, will form
junction with the Canadian Pacific,
which road has secured right of way to
reach the border and has a Detroit con-
nection with the Flint & Pere Marquette
practically owned by W. w. Grape, of
New Bedford. From there the line runs
to Manistee and sLudington, both of
which places are on Lake Michigan and
sixty miles from Manitowoc, on the Wis
consin shore. From there connections
are to be made with the Green Bay, Vino
ma Il st. Paul Road, proftless road at
present, by building short stretch to
Manitowoc. This will give the new line
the shortest route from the Northwest to
New York. The scheme is feasible be-
cause the Manistee River and Lake Mich
igan are never frozen. By this combina-
ton the roads will be enabled to escape
circuit around the lower end of Lake
Michigan and can conduct business in
winter with a single transhipment. Rail
road officials pretend to know nothing,
but the fact remains that the Lackawana
men have been two months taking sound
ings and quietly buying land in Manistee
for terminal facilities. For summer traffic
the scheme includes building fast line
of freight boats to run from Manitowoc
to Buffalo. 1t is said that the Lacka-
wanna has practically completed deal
for buying Crapo's interest in the Pere
Marquette Road and work will be started
in the early spring.

HERE is what Tom Reed of The Apple

papers. 1t nay appear somewhat in the
nature of revelation to these Manito-
voc business men who insist their papers
are the poorest in the state. Heaven
knows they have reason to be in pocket
at least. But let Tom Reed speak.
In point of ability the papers publish
ed at Nfanitowoc equal any in the state,
and attract to that town attention which
it little deserves. The advertising pat
ronage they receive is as thin as church
festival oyster stew. Their entire income
from that source would not furnish an

A gentleman from Kewaupee says that
one matter has not received the consider
alton necessary with reference to the
establishment of beet sugar factory at
that place, and that is whether the crop
can be matured and disposed of before
the frosts set in. This is very impor-
tant consideration as our summer season
is short. 1t would be we'll to have this
matter fully tested before the expense of
building factory is incurred. A sugar
factory can be in operation only during a
short period Of the year and this before
frOsts set in,
