Too Willing to BE Accountable.

A needy Frenchman once heard that a
marriage was on the tapis between the
daughter of certain wealthy merchant
and the son of rich banker. The dowry
that was to be given to the bride was 5OO,-
600 francs. The merchant was we'll senown
to be on the lookout for good bargain or
to save a dollar, so on this the Partisan
founded his hopes on a good dinner at
least.
He accordingly called at the merchants
residence and asked the privilege of seeing
him on very important business. After a
while he was admitted to his presence.
THE matter, sir, on which | call" he
began, involves for you the practical
saving of $50 600 francs. I"-
"Oh, my dear sir" interrupted the mer-
chant, this is too serious to be discussed
before dinner, and as it is now my hour

we will afterward consider your PROPOSE

Having partakel of meal that left a
pleasant flavor in the unfortunate's mem

merchants study.

Test of ouickness in Fencing

A very interesting method of testing the
quickness of sword thrust consists in
interchangeable measurement. The
movement of the foil point is too quick tC
be measured by the eye, but by the aid OF
the Interchangeable apparatus it can
be plainly shown. The fencer is dressed in
white, placed in front of black back.
ground, the foil is chalked and metallic
"spangle" is fastened to the tip by wax.
The photo -chronographi machine being
set in rotation, the trajectory of the tip Of
the foil during the movement of the
fencer is shown by series of dots.
AS two successive images are one-fif
teenth of a second apart in time it follows
that by counting these images the entire
time occupied from the beginning to the
end Of the movement can be determined.
In a recent test it was found that the
stroke occupied little less than four
tenths of second. By this means two
swordsmen can be compared, and their
relative quickness easily and exactly de
termined. York Commercial Adver.

the dust and cinders that are afloat in the

considered the best sort of treatment, but
not long ago an innovator came out with
the assertion that it is most injurious, de-
stroying the new hairs before they have u
chance to grow. This may be taken with u
grain of wholesome doubt.

any kind makes the hair straight, stringy

toilet soap, ammonia or alcohol may be
added to the water and the hair afterward
be dried in the sun or by artificial heat. It
should not be touched with brush or comb
until it is thoroughly dry. This treatment
will keep it clean and soft, and no hair is
beautiful without these attributes, no mat

but does not add that it should be used

borax should always be dissolved in the
water in which the hair is washed But
borax, although it keeps the hair soft and

Due to Neglect of the Voice.

The result of widespread neglect to trair
men and women to good reading ant
speaking is apparent in the very disagree
able voices which are heard upon eyery
side. In a fashionable parlor the women's
voices when taken in concert are often
perfect babel of unmusical and irritating
sounds, while those of the men are very
little better. Yet all of this might easily
be overcome by systematic and judicious
attention to the laws governing gentle
