Sinnncd Smoking to Save.

XcrXos Jones determined to quit slnoh- ing, not, you know, that 1t had any baneful influence upon his health, but solely for the reason that he didn't feel justified in spending 25 cents day for tho wcedy luxury. Jones had good disposition and began his new scheme on Sunday Seeing Two quit smoking, I'll put an extra quarter in the collec- tion box today" he unused, and ill the money went
 On Monday, just to please his Gttlo wife, good Jones bought O 40 cent box of mixtures and handed it over with the remark: "No, my dear, it's no extrava- gance. Just about what I saved on ci- gars today, and we both can enjoy this after tea" Tuesday Jones bought 50 cent toy for his little boy out of the cash saved by abstinence from tobacco. Wednesday he changed his dining place down town from 20 cent to 60 cent table d'hote, feeling justified in spend ing the extra quarter saved on cigars.
 Apparently forgetting this on Thurs day, the reformer remarked to himself: There's that new umbrella my wife's been talking about I'll buy that and charge it up to two weeks savings on smoke. " On Friday new dinner sci was purchased to please the wife of his heart and set over against 20 weeks | savings from tobacco, and on Saturday Xerxes Jones spent 25 cents for cigars, having lost six days of his luxury, and | figured up that he had "saved" on tn, wrong side of his books just about | S3S. o.-Philadelrhia.

HE GRAVE DIGGER.

Oh. the shanibling sea is & sexton old, And well Iii work is done- With an eQu;sl rave for lord and knave, He buries IL. ln every one. Then hoy and rip, with rolling hip, He makes for the nearest shore, And God. who sent him thousand ship, Will send him a thousand more. But some he'll save for bleaching grave And shoulder them in to shore Shoulder them in. shoulder them in, Shoulder them in to shore. Oh. the ships of Greece and the ships oi
 Tyre
 Went out, and where are they? In the port they made they are delayed With the ships of yesterday. He followed the ships of England far. As the ships of long ago, And the ships of France they led him 8

 But he laid them all arrow. Oh, loafinG. idle lubber to him Is the sexton of the town, For sure and swift, with guiding lift, He shovels the dead men downI But, though he dclves so fierce and grim, His honest graves are wide, As well they know who sleep below The dredGe of the deepest tide. Oh. he works with rollicking stave at lip And loud is the chorus skirled! With the burly rote of his rumbling throat He batters it down the world. He learned it once in his fathers house, Where the ballads Of old were sung, And merry enough is the burden rough, But no man knows the tongue.  Oh. fair, they say, was his bride to see, And wilIful she must have been That she could bitle at his grewsome side When the first red dawn came ini And sweet, they say, is her kiss to those She greets 10 his border home, And softer than sleep her hands first sweer That beckOns, and they come. Oh, crooked is he, but strong enough To handle the tallest mast. From the royal bark to the shaver dark He buries them all at last. Then hoy and rip, with a rolling hip, He makes for the nearest shore, And God. who sent him a thousand ship, Will send him a thousand more.

PICKETT AND THE ARCHIVES.
The Light Turned on Hidden Chapter o
 Wartime History.

Frank Riggs, the son of tho famous banker and his fathers successor in the financial circles at Washington, tells mo an interesting story that corrects a false impression which many good pco- pie have carried f,.r yC2rs. During the second term of President Grant n man of tho name of Pickett sold to the gov crnmcnt of the United States the rec Or(ls of the executive departments of the southern cOnfcdcraCy. From these documents was obtained much evidence that prevented the payment of claims of southern citizens who prctCnded loy alty for losses growing out of the war. In single instance they saved several millions by showing that mail contract ors throughout the south had been paid from the Confederate treasury for sorv- ices performed by thcm for the postoffice department of the United States before tho outbreak of the rebellion. They proved to bc of great value in many oth- CT directions, and the price paid MT. Pickett for them, which was some thing like SEQ. GOO, proved to he one of the most profitable investments ever made by the government.
 Pickett had been the chief clerk of the Confederate state department or held some similar office which made him custodian of the archives. When President Davis and his cabinet fled from Richmond, Mir. Pickett cartcd the records away and hid them in some place that escaped the scarchCrs of the Union army, and the Hammer of their disappearance was mystery until they were delivered to Secretary Fish. Ii l was always believed that Mir. Pickett | pocketed the money, and he was uni. vcrsally condemned by southern people for betraying the secrets of tho lost cause for price.
 ''The facts havo never been told. " said MT. Riggs, flor MT. Pickett exact. cd the strictest pledges of secrecy from my father in regard to the disposition of the money. But both of them ar6 dead now, and there k no reason why tho truth should hot bo known. MT Pickett never had the benefit of ono penny of the money ho received iron | the government for those records. H. deposited tho entire amount as soon a: he received it in our bank to tho CrCdi of George w. Riggs, trustee for, anC it was distributed in small amounti among the widows of Confederate off cers. Mir. Pickett made out tho list O the people to whom he wished it sent Tho checks were all signed by my fa thcr. Each one was aCcompanicd by letter, which he prepared and which m, father signed saying that the inclOsur was forwarded at tho request of gen tlcman who felt an interest in thei welfare, but for reasons of his own de sired that his identity should not b disclosed The account was carried fo several years. and all the checks an' vouchers are HOW packed away in ou banls ''=ChiCagO Record.

That the hair covering the body of an
animal or the head Of a human being
serves the purposes Of warmth and protcc-
tion IL manifest. but one would hardly ex-
pect TO find that II also acts as n cleansing
agent. This, however appears to be the
fact. The minute scales which cover the
outer portion of 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 hair, therefore, is like
that of piece of fur or cloth covered with
nap; rubbed from root to tip IL is found to
be smoother than when rubbed in the op-
posite direction. This being the case, IL
is evident that particles of matter in con.
tact with hair must find their direction
of easiest motion to lie toward the tip end
of the hair and away from its root, So
by virtue of the peculiar structure of its
surface the hair serves gradually to re-
move from the skin which IL covers all for
eign particles which may have found lodg-
ing there.
The oily secretions emanating from the
follicles Of the hair probably assist this
action by gathering up the fine particles
Of extraneous dust and scales from the
skin and thus enabling the hair to retain
them, so to speak, in the grasp Of its Gu
rious system of brushes. Every move
ment of the hair, however 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.
