Divided by a Chalk Line.

There are two young men in this city
who have roomed together for some time
past, but who now don't speak as they
pass by. There never was any warm
friendship between them, their tastes and
habits being very dissimilar. but they
rocmed together for reasons of economy.
Upon taking the room it was divided into
two equal portions by drawing a chalk
line across the floor, each agreeing to
coniine himself to his own half of the
room. They soon got used TO this and
when, in the course Of time. the chalk
mark became obliterated. 1t was not
necessary TO renew it, so accustomed had
they become to keeping within their re-
spective bounds.
All went well until one Sunday, when
visitor called ON one of the young men.
The other one was out, and the visitor
knowing nothing about the division OF
the room, seated himself In the portion
belonging To the absent man. When the
latter returned and found him there he
grufily ordered him TO go TO his friends
side Of the chamber. Then the fires OF
hatred which had smoldered so long
broke out, and rough-and.tumble fight
ensued between the two room mates
with the result that they now occupy
separate apartments. Washington Star

undu,a.ed Hair.

"Undulated hair" is about the latest
thing out. 1t will be much in vogue for
balls and special occasions, but 1t Is even
more likely to spoil the hair than curl
ing. The undulAtor is an iron similar
TO that usel for gentlemen's mustaches'
il takes about three-quarters OF an hour
to do, and hard or limp hair takes
much longer time to operate on success
fully than light, naturally curly hair.
With the latter style Of hair the undula-
ton will last fifteen 70 twenty days.
Limp hair requires the operation re
newed more constantly. But this style
ouly suits certain faces with irregular
features. and is ridiculous when adoptet
by others. All the first class hairdress
ers now possess an undulator or han
weaver, and some of them use with II

II is 20 be wondered ut that the music
of fashionable weddings is not made

the organ, with Mendelssohn to go in

One Of the most beautiful and costl,
clocks ever made was sent many years
ago by the East India company as gift
to the Emperor of China. The case was
made In the form Of chariot, in which
was seated the figure of woman, with
her right hand resting ON the top of a
tiny clock, which was placed in the side
Of the carriage. Some of the wheels that
moved the clock were concealed in the
body Of a bird that had seemingly alight-
ed upon the lady's finger. Over her head
was AN umbrella that concealed a silver
bell This, although it seemed TO have
no connection with the timepiece, struck
the hours, and il could be made to repeat
by touching diamond button fixed be-
low the dial of the clock. At the feet of
the lady's figure was a golden dog, and in
front of her were two birds that were
apparently flying before the chariot.
