'Listen to the idiot The sixth card

lay limp. The whole incident had

Hatred and Fear of Russia.

English Liberals are far from agree
ing with the Tory wiseacres, who hold
that to add the British navy to the avail
able forces of the triple alliance would
be to make peace certain. On the con-
trary. it would be to make war more
probable. Italy would then be relieved
of the fear for her exposed coast, which
at present keeps her in the paths of
comparative prudence, and could send
large masses of troops to the Rhine, or
at all events keep large French army
occupied in Dauphine and Provence.
Without England Italy is not worth
much to the triple alliance. But if Eng
land has been or can be induced to give
any sort Of pledge that she will save the
Italian fleet from destruction, or will
prevent deScentS upon the Italian coast,
she will be worth good deal. There
is therefore every motive to induce the
central European powers to win over
England if they possibly can and it is
imperatiyely necessary that English
liberals should be vigilant If this coun-
try is not to be drawn into a position
opposed alike to her best traditions and
to her best interests. Tohold resoluteiy

Care of the Hair.

A beneficial hair wash is made by
taking pure white soap and warm water
and making half a pint of soap suds
from this. Apply upon rising in the
morning, but before applying it. brush
the whole scalp well while the hair is
perfectly dry with good stiff bristle
brush. Scrub back and forth with
will, letting none of the surface escape.
When brushing the tod and front lean
forward so that the particles will fall.
After this operation strike the ends of
the bristles on the hearth or OH board;
next pass the coarse part of the comb
through the bristles: next brush the
hair back and forth with the hand until
no dust is seen to fall. Then with the
balls of the fingers dipped in the soap
suds, rub the fluid into the scalp and
about the roots of the hair; do this
patiently and thoroughly. Finally rinse
with clear water, and absorb as much
of the water from the hair as possible
with dry cloth. Then. after allowing
the hair to dry little more by evapor-
alton, but not too dry entirely, dress it
as usual.

LATE LOCAL NEWS.

The domestic affairs of Fred. Rose
and his wife caused some excitement i'll
the vicinity of Fourth street and the
Seven Corners. Rose is a waiter, and
works very hard, while it is alleged
that his wife does not look after his
home comforts. For long time the
pair have quarreled, and last
evening Mrs. Rose jumped out of the
first floor window with her baby in her
arms. A crowd collected, and Detective
Reichow, who was passing, arrested the
husband and wife. A siX-year-old son
was yelling, and, when the party EN-
tered police headquarters, things were
lively. the woman and her children
screaming at the top of their voices. The
husband, who seemed to be very
mild and meek fellow, was locked IN a
cell, while the woman and her babies
were sent to the county jail, owing to
the lack of suitable accommodation at
the central station.
A small fire at the corner of Dayton
and SeIby avenues called out the fire
department early this morning. The
damage was nominal.

Picking Up Rusty Nails Instead
OF Pins.


OF Pins.
One of the funniest superstitions of
old New England days has been res
directed for fad of 1891. 1t is to pick
UP every nail that has Its head to you.
This is, of course, sure to bring good
luck, just as one with its point in your
direction will bring an evil fortune.
Not pin, mind you, seen on the floor
at home, but nail, out in the street.
Once the beginning is made, there is no
such thing as passing propitiouS nail:
it will be elutched eagerly and boarded
up to neutralize the balefu effect of
one turned the other way. An absorb
ing conversation will be stopped to
lean over at sight of good omen, and
a walk through downtown street filled
with packing cases, and consequently
with scattered nails, will be of neces-
sity slow progress.
One victim has huge faience bowl
full of nails in her holy of holes, and
has caused to be gold plated and made
into pin the nail she found during the
walk when ''he" asked the momentous
question. She came in almost in tears
the other day. having come across
whole paper of tacKS spilled on the
sidewalk, heads and points in every
direction. She simply shut her eyes
and hurried by.
Men. as rule, detest this fad. They
say their coat pockets get rusty from the
amount OF old iron they are compelled
to carry or fall from favor, and they

AGAME OF DRAW POKER.
The Mischief That May Occur
When the Jack Pot Is Big.

They met Wednesday evening for
their usual quiet little game of poker at
Josh's quiet little flat. says the New
York Evening Sun. They were all col

them from losing sight of one another.

MISS IRENE COLT.
Sketch of the Lady Certiflcated
Dy Yale

oAetcn Oh the Lady CertihCated
by Yale.
Miss Irene W. Colt, the first young
woman to receive certificate of admis-
sion to Yale college, is a resident OF
Norwich. Conn.,. and is the only child of
Gen. James B. Colt, chief Of a pension
bureau at Washington under Cleveland.
Miss Colt went first to the common
schools in Norwich, and at very early
age displayed unusual proficiency in
ner studies. Her determination to try
for Yale was born solely of her own
ambition, and DR.. Robert P. Keep, prin-
ciral Of the academy, warmly encour-
aged her in her purpose.
Miss Colt is just eighteen wears old.
She is Of average height, finely and
gracefully formed. with light complex
ion. clear blue eyes, light brown hair,
with an exceedingly sweet and winsome
expression. There is a sunny light i'm
her eyes and she has a radiant look
when animated that the camera is not
competent to catch and that does not
show i'll her ''class pictures" She is a
sweet and attractive young lady and
her appearance does not answer at all
to the popular conception of what an
erudlte young lady should be. Miss
Colt could enter the art department of
Yale, but she may go to Vassar OF
wellesley. or may enter upon a literary
career. for which she has shown emf
nent fitness.

LONDON, July 1S.-A well-informed
ConstantinOple correspondent tele-
graphs this after noon that at the palace
of Yildiz and amongst leading Turkish
officials there has been a decided reac
ton against the acceptance of the re-
port emanating from Berlin that France
has approached Russia on the subject of
a coalition against England and had
offered TO cooperate with Russia
in the seizure Of COnStantinOple and the
formation of new Turkish state in Asia
embracing Egypt under Franco-Russian
protection. The comments of the Ger
man papers on the visit of the Emperor
William to Lord Salisbury's residence
IS together with the fact that Germany has
for years been grating German officers
I'm every department Of the Ottoman EN-
pire, have raised a strong suspicion in
the minds of many Of the leading Turk
ish statesmen that the alleged Franco
Russian programme is undoubtedly an
angIo-G German arrangement at CONSTANT,
nople and England in Egypt. The fact is
also recalled that the great German STRAIT
egist. Count Won Moltke. Just previous
TO his death, said that the Eastern ques-
ton would have 10 be settled at the
gates of C0nStantinOple. and it is a well
known fact in the latter city that the
fir st power that gets few men-of-WaT
up the DardaGelles can

peror to win popular favor in England,
together with the fact that it would be
impossible for Lord Salisbury to post

year, when Mr.. Gladstone VIII UNI

pointed out as other straws indicating a
desire on the part of Emperor William
to precipitate matters while he can rely
on the support of the British feet. 1t is
also learned that Germany had several
expert German engineers who speak the
Russian language fluently travelling
through Russia, and that these officers
have reported TO the German emperor
that the Russian army as well as every
other branch OF the Russian admlnistra-
tion are rotten, and that if France re-
lies on Russia in a future war with Ger
