a Discovery That Produced a Sensation
ia Boston Coiored society.
The colored women Of this city have
learned that il is possible TO take the
kink out Of their haie, and there is
quite a sensation over the discovery.
The rush 10 have crisp locks straight
ened is becoming general, although but
few of those who have successfully been
smoothed u are willing to admit that
their hair was ever otherwise than
straight and glossy. The fed as yet has
not reached the male sex. and at the
Sunday evening meeting Of the A. NJ. f.
church M of the deacons warned the
sisters against their sinful pride in at
tempting to improve on the Lords

sister, who said:
IF God had intended us to have
straight hair he would have given it 10
us in the beginning. God eve in

FIRST wo5K OF A GREAT ARTIST.

Meeting Of Lorenzo de Medici and the
Young BOY Michael Angelo.
One afternoon the Duke Lorenzo de
Medici, il walking through the garden,
came upon soung Michael Angelo, who
was busily chiseling his first piece OF
sculpture. The duke saw in the stone
the face Of a faun which the boy was
copying from an antique mask, but
which, with his usual impotence Of
imitation, he was changing so as to
show the open lips and teeth. How
is it," said the IKE. drawing closer,
that you have g.. , your faun a com
plete set of teethi Don't you know
that such IN old fellow was sure to
have lost some Of Them Michael An
gelo at once saw the Justice Of the crit
icism. Artists are not always ready TO
receive adverse~critic.sm.
Michael Angelo himself was quick
tempered and hard 20 move. A hot
word to one az his boy companions ON
a certain occasion brought so severe a
blow in the face that all truthful pOr-
traits Of Michael Angelo have since
had 70 show him with a broken nose.
But the dukes criticism was kindly
given, and was plainly warranted, and
the young sculptor could hardly wait
until the duke walked on before begin
ming The correction. When the duke
saw the faun's face again lac found
some Of the teeth gone and the empty
sockets sl1illfu!ly chiscled out.
Delighted with this evidence Of the
lads willingness 20 srize and act upon
a suggestion. ami Impressed anew by
his artistic skill. the duke made in
q%uiries, learned that Michael Angelo
had borrowed stone and tools on his
own account ia his cagerness 10 begin
sculpture ihe was first set at drawing
from the statuaryJ and ended by send
ing for the boys father. The result of
the consultation was that the duke took
Michael Angelo under his own special
patronage and protection, and was 50
well pleased after he had done it that
no favor seemed too great to bestow
upon the energetic young artist. Michael
Angelo, then only IS, not only received
