familiar with the two capitals, al
though one might naturally suppose
the American city, being the young
er, to be the daughter instead OF the
mother But General Washington
more than half century earlier had
ordered L'Enfant to design him a
plan for his seat of government in
much the same manner as Napoleon
III. had commanded Baron Hauss-
mann.
Now, L'Enfant was not only a
Frenchman, but resident Of Yer
SALES, and he undoubtedly derived
his inspiration from his earlier sur
roundings; consequently Washington
saw an enlargement OF the Royal
Park, with its alleys extending into
avenues and its numerous flower beds
and parterres enlarged into circles
and quadrants. Thus by trans
oceanic leap Baron Haussmann took
from the new world what he could
have secured at his own gate. So
much for merely curious artistic
coincidence. But in light Of recent
developments in our capital, a singu-
lar inquiry suggests itself, namely
whether General Washington, in lay
ing out the city, did not have in
mind the same two-fold object that
Napoleon III. had when laying out
Paris. TO be surer the recent in
dustral army movement almost
ended in ridicule. But at some
later date more desperate one may
require to be controlled by artillery,
and then the broad avenues and
straight streets Of the capital may be
appreciated for other than mere ps-
thetic considerations, and, on the
contrary, serve as an additional proof
of far-sightedness on the part Of the
father of his country.

Whom Do Shop Girls Marry?

Some old philosopher has said that,
in nine cases out of ten, when a man
was thrown constantly in the society
of one woman he would end by mar
rying her. But there are exceptions
to this general rule, and a notable
one is to be found among the class
of shop girls who are employed in
the large retail stores in the towns.
Said the manager of one of these es-
adjustments:
1T is a popular idea with the pub
lie that our female employees find
husbands among the men in the
store with whom they work every
day, but it is not true. Most of the
girls who marry select their mates
from a class of men who are in some
other and more Temunerative bust
ness. The principal reason for this
is to be found in the fact that the
girls soon become imbued with sensi-
BILE ideas in regard to the life of all
who have to work for Il living. A
girl soon finds out all about the man
who works at the same counter with
her, and knows that he earns but lit
tie more than she does herself.
Matrimonial bliss on a salary just
sufficient for one has no temptations
for the average shop girl.

HOW TO WAVE THE HAIR.
The Fashion OF CrimpIng Is Now Entirely

The Fashion OF Crimplng Is Now Entirely
Out of Date.
The fashion of waved hair brings
about new method in the use of the
old-fashioned curling iron, The hair
must no longer be crimped, but must
be laid over the head in large, nat
ural-looking waves. The entire Sc
cret lies in the fact that the iron is
no longer applied to the tip of the
tress of hair, and the hair wound
over it, but the tress of hair itself is
wound around the iron, beginning as
near the scalp as it is comfortable to
hold the heated iron. The illustra-
tiOn shows better than words exactly
how this is done. The parting of the
hair, which proved so unpopular
when is was first introduced, has
been accepted chiefly by those per-
sons Of Modonna type of face, for
they can bear this severe style Of
hair-dressing. The delicate fringe Of
curls which so many maideus still

Why Washington and Paris Are Both Con

why Washington and Paris Are Both Goa
structed on the Same Plan.
A friend of mine, says a writer in
the North American Review, told me
that he had the following facts from
Baron Haussmann himself: Ordered
by Napoleon III. to submit plans for
the renovation Of Paris, the baron
was for some time at a loss to meet
the two.fold requirements, for the
contemplated improvements of the
new streets had to be ut once neauti-
full and so laid out as to be readily
commanded by artillery. Suddenly
he bethought him of modern Wash
ington. He secured Il plan of that
city, and this seemed on examination
so exactly to meet the necessities of
the case that he finally submitted it
to the Emperor. The result was
that the plan in the main was. ac-
cepted and modern Paris was built
ON the lines of modern Washington.
Thus is explained a certain similari-
ty which strikes every one who is

TIE grain shippers duty, accord
ing to the Minnesota Railroad and
Warehouse Commissioners, is to
fasten upon the door of every car
loaded with grain a card bearing the
number and initials of the car, with
the date of the shipment and the
actual weight of the grain This
will enable the weighman to locate
the cause of the difference between
his weights and the shippers weights
before the identity of the grain is
lost, and to determine beyond a
doubt the weight of the shipment.
The practice is good one and is OF
advantage to the shipper as well as
the receiver.

ending with figure 4 have been
years of good crops. This is not very
satisfactory, but is, like great many
other things, important if true" 1t
is quite possible that there is sort of
periodicity about crop matters. Prof.
Moore, the Chicago signal service
prophet, has noted a remarkable re-
currcnce OF weather in seven-day

extends to seasons and so to crops.
