Manawa Breezes.

There were great crowds at Manhattan
beach last night and yesterday afternoon, all
enjoying the cool and pleasant breezes that
make life in hot weather endurable and
happy around the lake. People who came
from the heated walls and scorching pave.
ments OF the twin cities could scarcely real
ize the great difference in temperature
between the cities and the lake Many
believed that a change had occurred in the
weather until they returned to the hot
streets of the towns. The water is delight
full, clear as crystal and just the right
temperature to be pleasant. There were
many ladies IN bathing last night.

Count Tolstoi's Views of Poetry.

Count Leo Tolstoi has received in
Moscow visit from an aspiring
young Russian poet, who had pre-
viously sent a copy of his productions
to the great romancist and philoso-
pher. At this interview the count
said: II have read your book, or at
least the greater part of it. But
must tell you at once, and frankly,
that entertain general dislike to
all poetry, and for this reason-that
1T prevents one from giving a clear,
intelligent and comprehensive express
sion to ones thoughts and ideas. Why
should we laboriously strain to con-
form our expression to the rhyth-
mical and metrical rules of versifica-
ton when we can the better and
more clearly convey our thoughts in
simple and lucid prose9 1t is as if, in
stead of permitting me the free use
of my limbs, you tether my legs and
make me hobble around the object of
observation.
In order to be succinct, concise and
comprehensively expressive l always
strive SO to construct my language
that every reader, even he of the
scantiest intelligence, can, without
the slightest trouble Or reflection,
at once grasp my meaning. If
wrote in verse, my primary and dis
tracing labor would be to conform
to the laws and rules of versifcation,
and my readers would be left to sift
out for themselves the thoughts and
ideas l wished to convey. If 1 may
be perfectly frank with you, said the
count, with a peculiarly bitter ex-
preston on his face, Il would say
that verses are generally the produc-
ton of literary wantonness, literary
frivolity and literary insolence. y

Indiana. Among the passengers were
newly married couple, who made
themselves known to such an extent
that the occupants of the car COM
menced passing sarcastic remarks
about them. The bride and groom
stood the remarks for some time, but
finally the latter, who was man of
tremendous size, broke out in the
following language at his torment
ors: Eyes, we're married-just mar
ried. We are going 100 miles far
Their on this train, and am going to
spoon all the way. If you don't
like it, you can get out and walk.

their journey they were left in
peace.-Philadelphia Ledger.

How Hair Cleanses the Head

That the hair covering the body of
an animal or the head of a human
being serves the purposes of warmth
and protection is manifest, but one
would hardly expect to find that it
also acts as cleansing agent. This,
however, appears to be the fact. The
minute scales which cover the outer
portion of the hair are fastened at
one edge and free at the other, and
the free edges lie in the direction
away from the skin.
The surface of a hair, therefore.
is like that of a piece of fur or cloth
covered with nap. Rubbed from
root to tip it is found to be smoother
than when rubbed in the opposite di-
rection.
This being the case, it is evident
that particles of matter in contact
with a hair must find their direction
of easiest motion to lie toward the
tip end of the hair and away from it's
root. So by virtue of the peculiar
structure of its surface the hair
serves gradually to remove from the
skin which it covers all foreign par
ticles which may have found lodg-
ment there.
The oily secretion emanating from
the follicles of the hair probably as
sists this action by gathering up the
tine particles Ct extfar.6oGs dust and
of scales from the skin, and thus en-
aiding the hair to retain them, so to
speak, in the grasp of its curious sys-
tenn of brushes.
Every movement of the hair, how
ever produced, must tend to set the
particles sticking upon it in motion,
and as we have already seen, that
motion can be in only one direction.

The Mean Man Heard 1t.

A young fellow dining in the sub

a man name unknown who was so

turkey to each Of his tenants at

For wearers of Diamond Studs.

When the last race had been run
and the result announced at Latonia,
there was a big rush for the train
standing opposite the grand stand.
In trice the cars were filled and the
platforms crowded.
The train had just started when a
man on one of the forward cars con-
vulsively clutched at his shirt bosom,
and then the air was rent with that
old squeal, my studs have been
pinchedr' and a well dressed man
slid off the train, which passed rap
idly on, leaving him standing on the
end of the platform. His name was
not learned by the reporter.
Detectives Rohan of Chicago and
Crawford and Schnucks were stand
ing on the platform of another car
and soon heard of the little episode.
They went through the train, but
could recognize no dips and so could
do nothing.
'Well, it seems to me-" said De-
tective Rohan, that if any one has
got good stone, which is the same
as money, he should take care of it.
There is no use in having stones
pinched."
Some of the late settings have
screw fastenings, so that dip to get
them must cut the twist, and few
dips are going to carry pliers, said
Detective Crawford.
"Fll tell you something that is bet
ter than that, said Detective Rohan.

The Wall of the Tennis PLAYER.

The Central park tennis courts are
so well patronized that they cover
the available ground like the squares
OF checker board, and the players
are almost elbow to elbow.
This has resulted in an unwritten
law that every player shall field" OF,
throw back to its owner every ball
which strays from its proper court
into his court. The reply for the
courtesy is invariably, Thank you"
The next step from this was easy.
Not knowing your neighbours name
three times out of hundred you are
unable to call his attention in any
very graceful manner to your ball.
which has rolled into his court I'M
seen by him.
To shout ''Say!' at him or Hi !"
is not dignified. To call out "Mister!'
or "Oh, mister!' is stiff. To yell,
"Oh, ma'am !" is dangerous, for she
may be miss or vice versa. So play
ers have fallen into the way in such
cases of shouting, Thank youl" with
the emphasis on you" at the same
time indicating the person addressed
by pointing with the racket.
The player so pointed at under
stands that he is being thanked in
advance for returning a ball which
he has not yet seen.
But the absurdity comes in when
the person addressed is so engrossed
in his own play that he does not hear
or heed the call at once, and then the
petitioner comes out in imploring
tones with this homogeneous tumble
OF words: THANK You, please |
Thank you, pleased" 90
And all over the lawn on a crowd
ed day this queer wall sounds from
morn to night: Thank you, please!
Oh, thank you, pleasem-New York

One on Himself.

When Herbert Ward, the African
explorer, v last in New York, he
told a good story, the point of which
was rather against himself. He had
been chatting some of the natives,
declaring that they were direct de-
scendants from monkeys, alleging
their dark color as one of the evi-
dences. "One old fellow went quiet
ly over to a captive ape" said he,

Sound Heard a Long Distance.

When we are so situated as to be
able to confine sound waves, as in a
tube or pipe, a very slight disturb
ance can be heard for a long distance.
In the cast iron water pipe of Paris,
which forms a continuous tube with
only two slight crooks, and these
near its middle, the lowest whisper
at one end can be distinctly heard at
the other, although the pipe is 8, 100
feet in length. When some exper-
iments in this line were being con-
Quoted, a pistol fred at one end of the
tube actually blew out a lighted can
die held at the other end and violent

Giving FidO an Airing.

A new and rather embarrassing &C.
cupation has been found for domes-
tic servants. It seems that a young
woman who is engaged as "maid at
tendant" at salary of go a month
is sometimes called upon to take her
mistress dog out for walk in the
streets at 12:45 in the morning.
Such at least was the story told by
an aggrieved plaintiff at the city of
London court, and it is hardly sur
prising that she declined the duty of
personally conducting the pet at
such an hour. Thereupon she was
discharged, but her mistress said
that the reason Of her dismissal was
her excessive insolence."
The learned commissioner in the
result held that the servant could
claim a months wages, but the deli
cate question of dog law which had
been raised in the course of the case
was unfortunately not decided. It
therefore still remains a moot point
whether it is permissible to ask
Mary Jane to take Fido for walk
before bedtime, and, if so, whether
what is reasonable at 10 or II o'clock
becomes unreasonable a couple of
hours later. Perhaps the best solu,
ton would be to let Fido take walk
by himself and defy the dog stealers.

The Primeval Atmosphere,

An article by DR.. Phipson in The
Chemical News contains bold sug-
gestion that at remote periods the at
mosphere contained a very large
amount of carbonic acid, and, in fact,
consisted principally of that gas, nj
trogen and vapor of water. The crust
of the earth may thus have possibly
cooled and solicited in an atmosphere
containing a large proportion of car
bonic acid. In volcanic regions enor-
nous quantities of this gas are still
given off, and the hypothesis is large
ly supported by the important part
which carbonic acid is known to play
in the formation of many crystals.
