Throw Away Your Curling Irons.

If rough use of the comb or the brush
be deprecated, what shall be said of
many of the methods of curling and
crimping the hair by the use Of hot irons
and other appliances, in which the life is
roasted out of it. its gloss and beauty de-
stroyed, and its growth paralyzed in
order to produce supposedly charm
ing effect" 1T is the fashion, is an
answer which admits of no argument.
But the fact remains that if the real
beauty of the hair is priced the hot iron
and its kindred Accomplishments should

Hamilton, o., has mysterious visitor.
He is man of about As, and during the
several weeks he has spent about the
town no one has been able to get single
word from him. He carries bundle to
which he chngs all the time, using it at
night for pillow. What it contains no
one knows. He sleeps in an open wheat
field. He has never entered a door,
never asked for food or been given a
mouthful Of food and puts in the day

what he lives on outside of water, where

A new order has just been instituted
by the mikado of Japan to commemo-
rate the 2,555th anniversary of the coro-

is to be called the order of the Golden

for the first four are to be of gold, and
for the three others of silver A straight

A STUDY OF A SHOE.

A funny wrinkle across the toe,
A shabby rub on the heel below,
And four little buttons all in a row,
One of them set with a siken stitch,
Spick and span, where the restless witch
Dropped the old, with kick and a hitch.
Here is the record of how she grows
While up TO your lip her foot she throws.
Bubbling over with rapturOus crows.
Look at this tiny brown sole unworn,
And see how the ankle is peeled and torn
It's her very first shoe since she was born!
All her walking is done on the air,
Or else on the arm Of grandpa's chair
No wonder the sole is smooth and fair;
From her fathers knee TO her mothers breast
From the breathless ride TO the blissful rest
Then tucked away in her baby nest.

Boring for Honey.

A successful boring for honey has been
made in north Tennessee. For many
years swarms of bees have been noticed
by boatmen at Fox Bluff, ON the Cum
berland river, near Franklin, KY. The
bluff is 100 feet high, and the rivers
channel runs directly under it, The bees
have been observed about big fissure
near the center of the bluff, and the
opening could not be reached from above
or below without great danger of being
stung to death. AS the bees had never
been robbed, it was thought a large
amount of honey was stored in the cliff.
Recently well borer named Starks Wis
tied the bluff and was at once impressed
with the idea that he could reach the
wonderful honey stOrehouse with his
drill. After some coaxing he persuaded
a number of farmers TO undergo the ex-
pense, and three inch hole was bored
from the top of the bluff. At depth of
eighty-five feet the drill struck the
honey. According to dispatch barrels
and tubs by the score were filled and
carried off to neighboring farms, and
the syndicate has sent to Louisville for
more receptacles.- Philadelphia Ledger

CRAZY JANE AND CANADIAN
HORSES.
From Turf, Field and Farm.


One day last week there were seated
in my office gentleman from Canada,
on the shady side of sixty, who had been
Il lover of trotters ever since his boy
hood, and quite a breeder of them for
many years, and a younger man who
had been closely connected with the in
terest for about a decade. The cOnvers-
alton between the two naturally turned
upon horses, and the fact that Election
Ger had now an even one hundred in the
, 80 list was commented on. The young
er man said:
"Surprsing as the success of Election
eer is, it is still more so because of re-
cent interview | had with a veteran

Mr. James W. Hoyt. The old gentle
man is now completely blind, but most

(Near st. Clairsville, probably Penn

"a man of IL stone or upward and his
son, lad OF 10 Years, alighted at our
tavern; their horses in high condition,
though on return from Philadelphia to
their home, 100 miles west of this place.
They had been eight days on their road
from Philadelphia, and had travelled at
the :ate of 10 miles per day. From
what have seen and heard | conclude
this rate of travelling is usual and that it
is performed without difficulty and |
mention it in the proof of the excellence
of the horses of this country. They are
generally about Is hands, clean made
and shapely, often very handsome.
They generally pace or rack, as it is
called, being taught that mode of going
in their breaking. Five miles an hour
is as much as they calculate on. They
feed well four or five gallons of oats per
day, besides hay, with a good handful
of salt, about twice week. A moor
horse is as rare here as Il fat one among
the negroes of Virginia. A good six
year-old horse sells for 500 to $50.
