How to Wash the Hair,

For washing the hair, particularly such as is inclined 10 be oily. nothing is better than the common hard soap of the kitchen. A woman who has used it frequently herself and seen its benefits tested in other eases prcscribes it with strong faith. Make a strong suds, :" she says, rub it quickly on the hair and wash il off again at once. After that any scented soap or wash may be used in the way of m ordinary shampoo" An English maid. who k famed for the care of her mistress hair, may be taken in further testimony If the same article, as the only wash siir uses k soapsuds thickened with a trl>poOuful of glyceriu and the white of an egg. undoubtedly women waste money in expensive hair beautifiers and prrscrVtrs. simple means right at ones hand are just as effective. The pulp of lemon. for instance, rubbed on the roots of the hair will stop ordinary cases of falling out.

 It k not improbable that the Duchess of Edinburgh had considerable influence in bringing about the decision of her husband to resign his admiralship i'll the British navy and accept the dukedom of Saxe-Coburg-tiotha. The duchess does not like England over much, and the English do not like her Immediately after her arrival in England the question of precedence al court ceremonials came up. the duchess insisting on her right as the daughter of one czar and the sister of another tu take rank ahead of the daughters of the queen. She won her point. but the victory made her unpop- lar. Besides this. she never got on well with the Princess of Wales and her re- lations with the queen Were rather diplo- matic than cordial.
 The duke himself was never partiCu- larly popular in England, and this fact may also have had its influence on his decision, which might have been very

 bers Who Distinguished Themselves.
 We are sometimes disposed to de nounce the degeneracy Of the times and to lament among other things the de cline of forensic eloquence in American public life. This falling off has been so persistently proclaimed by pessimists and philosophers generally that many of us have come to accept the proposition without question. Fortunately for those hopeful citizens who are inclined to take issue with the croakers. recent events at Washington have furnished evidence that oratury Is not a lost art.
 Whatever else the silver debate may have accomplished, it has opened oul eyes to the fact that the country still has a plenty of bright, powerful and eloquent public speakers, and that when occasion offers new men can be found who are perfectly qualified to fill with honor tc themselves and their country the high places which have been so long occupied by the veterans of statccraft. The house of representatives has been particularly prolific of new material, and the cuun.

Bis marck would probably not have inter fered, though, with the accession of the dukes son, Prince Alfred, who was edu- cated at Coburg under German iufiu- ences, and as most people supposed with the idea of having him succeed his grand uncle instead of his father.
 The rumor that the duke intends to abdicate in favor of his son when the young man attains his majority will probably remain unveritied, for the prince was declared legally of age a year ago, with the especial design, as it was then thought, of shutting his father out from the regency. With his throne the duke inherits vast estates in Thu ringia, Austria. and the Tyrol and num- berless castles, chateauN and hunting lodges, besides a long string of titles to be added to his shoproom label of duke of Edinburgh and earl of Ulster and Kent. Hereafter he will be his high ness the Duke of SaXe-Coburg and Go tha, Duke of Juliers, Gloves and Berg, of Engern and of Westphalia, Landgrave of Thuringia.

His First Medal Earned Through Pluck in
Rescuing Groom.
Once, when Bismarck was a cav
airy officer, he was standing with
some other officers on bridge over
a lake, as related by the Nashville
American. As he was about to give an
order his groom, Hildebrand, rode one
of the horses to water close by the
bridge. Suddenly the horse lost foot
ing and Hildebrand, clinging to the
animal, disappeared with it in the
water. Before the other officers could
collect their senses Bismarck had
thrown off his sword and his uniform
and had thrown himself into the.lake
to save his servant. BY great good
fortune he seized him, but the man
clung to him SO closely in his death
agony that he had to dive before he
could loose himself from him. Bis
marck rose to the surface, raising his
servant with him, and brought him
safe to land in AZ unconscious condi-
ton. The next day the servant was as
well as ever. But the little town that
had witnessed the brave rescue was in
great commotion. They petitioned the
superintendent, who obtained for the
young officer the medallion ''for rescue
from danger" And now, on great oc-
casions, the we'll known Prussian safety
medal may be seen beside the proudest
stars in christendom on the breastof
the famous creator of united Germany
Bismarck. it i said, is prouder Of his
first medal than of all the rest put to-
gether. One day in the plenitude of
Bismarck power noble minister ap-
preached the premier, and with tinge
of satire asked him the meaning of this
modest decoration. He at once replied:
81 am in tho habit sometimes of saving
life" The diplomatist lowered his
eyes before the reproving look which
accompanied Bismarck S lightly spoken

themselves nearly four miles from the

saw an old woman knitting stockings
by the door and asked her permission
to enter and sit down to rest them
