WONDERFUL HAIR.
Its Great Growth Attributed to the Gil
mate.

The supposition that the climate of
California is conductive to the growth
of hair becomes a self-evident truth in
the hands of an enthusiastic writer for
a San Francisco paper, who declares
that 10 per cent of the San Francisco
women are blessed with a tremendous
abundance of hair, resembling that of
the seven Sutherland sisters in quanti-
There is nothing that beautiful ma
turG can beStow on a woman which can
give her more complete satisfaction
than beautiful head of hair, and Cali
fornia women seem to be highly favored
in this direction. The old saying that
where flowers grow in great abundance
and perfection the women have beauti-
full hair seems to apply to California.
Yet it is frankly stated that it is the
younger generation which has the most
abundant supply. So, with all the vir-
tues of the wonderful climate of our
Pacific coast it does not give eternal
youth to its women or preserve their
beauty beyond the allotted time
The finest head of hair in San Fran
cisco is said to be in the possession of
Mrs. Switzer. 1t is dark, glossy and
fine and reaches almost to the bottom
of her-dress while a few years ago it
trailed yard on the floor. She wears
it high on her head, and no one sus-
poets her of such an over-abundance
until she lets it fall around her. She is
obliged to have it thinned very often,
and there is enough cut away to make
a plentiful amount for another woman,
but she never misses it.
A young lady student in Palo Alto
has most remarkable hair. Light in
color, fine in texture and naturally
curly, like the hair of poetical fancy, it
falls in great undulating waves below
the waist like a Yeritable mantle of
golden silk.
One woman of German extraction has
quantities of yellow brown hair which
reaches below her knees, and yet she
can coil it high on her head and fasten
it with one pin.
having long dark hair, which is a
marvel of beauty and length, and they
attribute its growth to climatic effects
rather than any special care, as soap
and water are the only tonics they use.
The color of the hair seems to make no
difference in the quantity, the dark
nalf belhg quite as abundant as the
fluffy blonde locks. Like all other
women who have plenty of hair, they
do not value it very highly, and the one
great problem yet unsolved is how to
dispose of it in accordance with the
rules of fashionable and artistic hair
dressing.
San Francisco boasts of seven maid
ems, called the "Beritoni sisters, whose
hair is the envy of all the ladies on the
block.

Seagoing Hoboes.

Nearly every ship that has gone out
of port in the past two months has had
one or more stowaways on board. As
a rule captains do not object to one or
two, but when it comes to half a dozen
or more it is serious matter The
coasters to northern ports have been
most patronized by stowaways, and
now it is the usual thing for the cap
tains of the ships to make tour through
the hold of their vessels to make sure
that they will not have more of a crew
than they can feed. On the last trip of
the Enock Arden north nine men were
slowed away in her hold when she was
towed out of port, and they did not
show themselves until the tug was well
out of hailing distance. When the YES
sci reached Seattle she was nearly bare
OF provisions. The stowaways on ships
north are all bound for the lumber re-
gions of Washington or the mines of
British Columbia, where they hope to
get work. Those who manage to get
away from San Francisco on ships
bound elsewhere seem to have no def
mite end in view except to keep moving
if it does not take too much exertion.-

wou1dn,t Sell to the Empress.

A lady in Brookline, Mass, was in
Europe some two or three years ago
and she found in some neglected cor
ner a fine old picture of the unfortunate
duke of Monmouth, whose ambition
was his undoing. She bought the pict-
ure, which presently became quite fa-
nous among artists and dealers, and
some time afterward, when she was az
home in Brookline, she was astonished
to receive letter from the Empress
Frederick of Germany, stating that she
would like to purchase the picture, as
the duke of Monmouth was one of her
ancestors, and she would be pleased to
receive an intimation at what price the
lady held it. Then the Brookline lady
sent to the empress response which
must have astonished her as much as
the Brookline lady had been herself as
tonished. She felt very much honored,
she said; but she had found the posses
sion of the picture pleasing thing, and
she wished to keep it; consequently
she was constrained to decline the offer
to purchase it; and, moreover, she, too,
had personal interest in the portrait,
for she was herself descendant of the
Stuarts. The point of this joke lay in
the fact that the Brookline lady is the
granddaughter of worthy Boston
merchant by the name of Stewart.

The wife's. Season.

The story is told of a young Boston
woman, hardly more than bride, whose
husband did not come home one night.
But he did the next morning, and stam-
mered apologies about business, "man
from the West" and other such matters
that had nothing to with it. To his
great surprise and intense relief she ac-
cepted his explanation sweetly, unques-
tioningly. Another night fell. Anx-
ious to make further amends for his tar
diness he came in fairly early, expect
ing to meet with the usual sweet smile
of his wife. But the sweet smile was
was not there; neither was the wife nor
any word of explanation, nor did she
return. An awful night@of it, that man
spent, and when the little lady returned
the next morning he was ready to heap
scorn and anything else handy upon
her apologize head. But she didn't
apologize she. Sweetly she bade
him good morning, went about her
usual duties amiably, but vouchsafed
not the slightest explanation. The man
went off by himself and thought awhile.
When he came back in an hour he was
changed man. He told her so, said
she did perfectly right and he was a
brute. Then they made up in the good
old-fashioned way. He said it should
never happen again, and it hasn't That
man is just as proud as he can be OF his

What Good Breeding Is.

Etiquette is polish of manners; good
breeding is manners without polish.
The essence of good breeding, ac-
cording to a writer in the atlantic is
simplicity; not the simplicity of the
peasant, although that is good in it's
way, but the simplicity of the really civ
ilized man who has arrived at kind of
artificial naturalness. The natural man
has been fifty described as NOISY,
sensual savage"
Now, if the essence of good breeding
is simplicity, it may be said that the es-
sence of vulgarity is want of simplicity.
To be vulgar is to be unquiet TO have
no taste of ones OWE, to be in continual
disturbance on account of ones neigh
Dor, either by way OF trucking to him,
which is the manner of the snob; or of
hating him, which is the vice of the
radical; OF of competing with him,
which is the weakness Of the parvenu.
To be vulgar is to adopt other peoples
language, to use their cant phrase, to
copy the infections of their voices to
espouse their ideas-in fine, to think
and do and say, not what comes nat
urally to one, but what is supposed to
be considered proper by other peo-
pie. This, to be vulgar is to lack SIM
plicity.

The cANpY-sroRE cLERKs.
They Know When the Man Has Ceased
to Love.

I stopped in candy store last week,
and while the pretty clerk deftly scoop
ed candy from the plates with that
usually exasperating invention, the bon
bon spoon, we had little talk.
'Do you know" she said to me
brightly, 1--WE clerks in confectionery
stores are in position to know more
about the private affairs of certain
class of people than you oraHy oatsider
would imagine? The class, you know,
is composed of young people at about
the ages when love first finds speech
You see, man has to buy candy if he
goes among girls and we can always
tell the condition of his heart by the
kind and amount of candy he buys. If
he is a jolly good fellow with all the
girls he comes in and says, Gimme
three pounds of candy-anyt thing at
all but if it is for one he is anxious
and carefully selects from each salver as
an old maid buying her annual Is
cents worth"
Il don't quite understand why" I
said.
"Why, don't you see, he has learned
his sweetheart's taste, and he is anx-
iously catering to it. He would as
soon poison her as give her candy she
didn't like.
"Then, too, we always know the in
tensity of the love-shall put in some
marshmallows?-for his devotion and
the amount of candy he buys Increases
in exact ratio We can always tell
when the ENHANCEMENT has been effect
ed, for the man stops buying candy so
lavishly."
I'm this one of the straws which show
how the wind will blow after marriageP"
/ asked, and my clerk answered:
@Wen it may be that he is getting
economical for the coming event. But
it. would surprise you to know how
many engagements we could safely an
nounce Just by these infallible little
signs. And if we liked we could
also announce the ones that are
broken. too. A man with fractured
engagement on his hands is our best
customer. His reckless expenditure on
candy for other girls is the eonfection-
ers' salvation"
The girl tied the paper around my
box, bit the cord off with her teeth, girl
fashion, and, as she handed me the
package, said:
When one of our customers stops
coming altogether we all know he is
married. - Chicago Times.

This story is told of Alexandra Du-

not refuse request at least, not oft

stable at the mans disposal, and did
everything in his power to make life
pleasant for Dumas friend. After the
lapse of fourteen days the man sudden
ly disappeared, and with him the best
horse in the merchants stable. Six
months later the merchant visited Du-
mas and thanked him for the kind of
people he recommended to his consid-

Days Gone BY.

Oh the DAYS gone by! Oh, the days gone by!
The apple in the orchard, and the pathway
through the rye;
The chirrup of the robin and the whistle OF
the quail,
As he piped across the meadows sweet as any
nightingale;
When the bloom was on the clover, and the
blue was in the sky,
And my happy heart brimmed over, in the
days gone by.
In the days gone by, when my naked feet
were tripped
By the honeysuckle's tangles, where the
water lilies dipped
And the ripple of the river Tipped the moss
along the brink,
Where the placid-eyed and lazy-footed cattle
came to drink,
And the fitting snipe stood fearless Of the
truant's Wayward cry,
And the splashing OF the swimmer, in the
days gone by.
Oh, the days gone byI Oh, the days gone by.
The music of the laughing lip, the luster of
the eye;
The childish faith in fairies, and Aladdin's
magic ring,
The simple, soul-reposing, glad belief in
everything,
sob nor sigh,
-Jan1es Whitcomb Riley in the Republic.

WAS A BOLD sMUGcLER.
But He sEAen Into the Hands of Kindly
Custom House People.

It was the lady of the house herself
who answered the bell at one of the
palatial residences on Woodward ave-
nue., the housemaid being engaged in
peeling pineapples for preserves.
''What do you want?" she asked of
the person on the doorstep, an impuls-
ive-looking man with a roll of rugs un-
der one arm.
SSH" said the impulsive one, mot SO
loud. I've got some rugs here that |
will sell you for song, only you
mustn't let anybody know"
"Why, are they stolenp"
The person made speaking trumpet
with one hand and whispered IN a sep
ulchral tone:
NO, smuggled."
"Come right in," said the lady, and
ushered him into the hall. Carefully
closing the door she invited him to dis
play his wares.
He did so, and as the rugs were
spread out on the hall floor their dainty
richness filed her with a longing. "You
are sure they were smuggledP" she
asked in an anxious tone of voice.
Certain sure, ma'am," he answered; !;
Il smuggled them myself, and you can
have them for $5 apiece, which is less
than half what they would cost you at
any store in the city,
"Then that is all you need, Robert,
she said, turning to a gentleman who
stood in the shadow beneath the stairs;
'the man admits that he's a smuggler,
and all you've got TO do is to report
him at the custom house"
The person with the rugs turned
pale. For heavens sake don't do
that, ma am, said the man, 'I've got a
sick wife and four small children at
home who are dependent on me for
bread Take the rugs for $3.50 apiece
and let me CO."
But my husband is a custom house
officer" she said; "we can't let you 60"
"Haye mercy!' he pleaded; take
them for $3.50 and say no more about
it."
Justice is infexible." said the hus-
band. 81 must do my duty"
.'Call it $2," moaned the self-con-
fessed smuggler, ''and spare me-"
The husband and wife communed
apart, the latter evidently pleading for
the poor wretch. At the end of their
conference the money was silently
counted out to the smuggler, the door
was opened and he was permitted to
go.
And the next day when madame
priced the same kind of rug at the stores
on Woodward avenue she found that
they would have been dear at dollar
apiece.-DetrOit Free Press.
