HOW TO CUT BANGS.
Rather Complicated, but the Fair Sex VIII
Understand.

Rather Complicated, but the Fair Sex VIII
Understand.
Bangs, said Mr.. Curl, the hairdress-
er, are just the easiest things i'll the
world to keep in order if ladies would
only attend to them properly. They
should be thoroughly washed twice a
week in solution Of ono part alcohol
and three parts soft water and dried.
This keeps the fringe tlce Of the only
matter that hinders tho staying in curl.
All hairdressers raoisten the fringe with
diluted bay rum and divide the bang in
three parts-two side parts and the cen
ter.
Take the back part of center, which
should again be divided in three, and
curl it backward, holding it firmly for
fully 60 seconds The next part also curl
backward Allow tiny piece in the cen
ter Of the front for Lillian Russell
curl Curl the center part downward;
then curl the side pieces back toward
the coil.
Carefully attempt the tiny curl now
that you have left until the last in the
middle of the brow. Take the hair, well
moistened, upon hot iron, curling it
toward the left, and slowly loosen it,
pressing it while hot into the interroga-
ton point closely against the forehead.
A little practice will result in success.
The alcohol semiweekly bath, the hot
iron, the direction either backward or
otherwise, as given above, will keep the
bang shaped fluffy and ourled with "the
little curl right in the middle of the
forehead" like the good little girl f.
nous in story.

Uncle Rastus Explains.

Uncle Rastus was intently gazing at a

he, without raising his eyes. "Pow'ful

THE EPICURE.

When parsley cannot be had, fine celery
tops make pretty garnish for meat.
Never slice apples for making pies. Quar-
ter and core and if an apple is large cut
each quarter in two pieces.
A novel and delicious flavor may be i'm
parted to cake by placing bits of rose gera-
mum leaves under the creased paper with
which the baking tin is lined.
Boil rice in double boiler, add a few
drops of lemon juice to the water and do
not stir until it is sufficiently cooked. The
grains will then separate readily and be
beautifully white.
One reason that venison on the continent
is always so tender is that the meat is laid
for "a hours before cooking in white wine
vinegar or ordinary Rhine wine. This
treatment gives the meat most delicious
flavor and is well worth trying.

THE ARIZONA KICKER.
How 'eThe Lost Soul" Found Place In
Spite of the Editor.

How sThe Lost Soul" Found a Place In
Spite of the Editor.
EXPLANATORY.-On another page of
this issue appears piece of poetry, entitled
1.-THE Lost Soul, by Mrs. Captain Gard
ner of this town. The fact Of it's appear
ance seems to demand an explanation, as
we have repeatedly and emphatically de-
clined all poetic illusions from any source.
Mrs Captain Gardner is cultivated and
refined lady, and the Wednesday evening
receptions given at her adobe on Maricopa
place are the toniest affairs of the town.
On about 80 different occasions she has
handed us poems which we were forced to
reject, but she is as persistent as she Is
beautiful and as determined as she Is en-
tertaining. She bidcd her time, and on
Monday afternoon, having finished the
twenty seventh and last verse of The Lost
SOUL" which was lost on account of q
misunderstanding between two tender
young people, she put on her bonnet and
started for THE KICKER office. She arrived
to f1n& us very busy, and she had pene-
trated the editorial sanctum before we were
aware of her presence. We attempted to
explain why VIC could not accept Tho
Lost Soul, " but it was no go. She had
come prepared for excuses, and while we
were trying to let her down easy she lusged
out one Of tho captains guns and gave us
the choice between publishing her poem or
dying on the spot Seeing that she was
determined and dangerous and realizing
that she had the bulge on us, we gave her
our Arizona editorial word that her poem
should appear this week. It accordingly
appears, taking up the space we had in
tended for an article on ostrich culture in
Arizona Hundreds Of indignant women
whose poems have been returned or found
their way into the wastebasket will be
writing US redhot letters for q month to
come, but wc did what we felt was for the
best An editor policy should be as firm
and stable as the rock of Gibraltar, espe-
cially on the question Of poetry, but he
should also be prepared to dodge emer-
eencies Our editorial rooms will now be
removed to the second floor, and no wom-
an can reach them without climbing q lad
der II feet high.
A DELINQUENT OFFICIAL.-For several
weeks past the coroner Of this county has
Waterbury evening Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1887-1895, 1894-05-08

imbibed SO freely that he has been entirely
untitled for private or official business,
and many complaints have been made by
those brought in contact with him. While
it was not for us to NEEDLE with the case
we felt it our duty to give him little ia
theriy advice. A few days ago, when we
happened to find him sober enough to let
go of a redhot poker he had picked up in q
saloon, we set out to talk to him. While
we were off our guard the miserable critter
lugged out an old secondhand gun and
fired shot which would have pierced our
editorial heart had it not struck a well
filed editorial wallet and been detected.
We tried to sober the man up by knock
ing his head against the ceiling and his
heels against the floor, but it was no use.
We were waiting to have another talk
with him when he suddenly disappeared.
The last seen of him he was mounted on
his old white mule and headed in the di-
rection of Lone Jack. Yesterday we had a
look at the coroner's books and found a
sad state of affairs. He was elected to Of
flee three years ago on the ground that he
was good fellow and owned a one eyed
fighting dog. Nobody thought to ascertain
whether he could read or write, and it has
transpired that it was almost impossible
for him to do either.
Last fall weary pilgrim from Utah
stole mule over on big A" ranch and
proceeded to give his tired feet a rest The
cowboys got after him and left him hang
ing to a tree at the crossing of Cinnamon
creek. We find by an examination of the
coroner's books that the only record he
made of the case was, 'Unknone; lynched;
no pop'ty.' This was probably the man
party was here looking for few weeks
ago, and it was no wonder, he could find
ont nothing thrOuph the cOrODpr'S office
In September last old Bill Henderson, COM
ing into town ON the Cedar Hill trail, shot
at a jack rabbit and killed stranger who
had sat down in the scrub to rest Papers
giving his name and address were found
on him, as also considerable sum of
money, but the only record in the corOner's
office is, Bill Hindson cilled man I'M
knone whenn he hadn't orter." A year
ago this spring the dead body Of Il man
was found on Grassy Hill with bullet in
his head. IIc was fully identified, we be-
Heve, as the agent of an eastern nursery,
and there was every reason to believe that
he committed suicide in q fit of deSpond
ency.- The record in the coroncr's office
reads: ''Fownd died. Didn't like Arizony.'
1t isn't to be expected that a far western
coroner is going to put on ell the frills and
scallops to be found in ne east, and no
one expects him to wear plug hat or have
gold filling in his back teeth, but he ought
to be able to bite off hunks of the English
language, do as well with pen as with o
pickax ana not steal over half the personal
effects found in the pockets of his victims.
We hope and trust our coroner has gone
off to die, and that his place will be filled
by some one who can keep sober long
enough to cut IL man down and get foot
of sand over him.

and Mr. Bowser fell backward, and his
heels kicked high in the air.
Il told you that you ought to take out
the tacks," said Mrs. Bowser as she came
forward.

sternly replied as elowly got up. II

carpet. When it has been proved that
don't you can take hold!'
When Mrs. Bowscr had gone, Mr.. Bow
ser got fresh hold, and by taking due
precautions he lifted one side of the carpet.
A smile was just breaking through the
redness ON his face when he grabbed for
another pull and struck a 10 ounce tack.
1t was waiting for him, and they heard his
yell Of surprise in the next house. When
he came down after jumping two feet
high, the whole building seemed to shake.
Mercy on me, but what's the matter?"
exclaimed Mrs Bowser as she rushed in.
''When want you, will call you" he
replied as he waved her back.
He wanted to strike the wall, kick the
door or break a window, but he restrained
himself. He even forced himself to be
calm and to pull the rest of the carpet up
foot by foot, instead of making one ter
rife ''yank" which should heave it out of
the window and across the street He
must fold it up to get it outdoors. He
had this task half accomplished when he
made a slip and pitched forward and
sprawled out. He did not cry out as $50
carpet tacks jabbed him from head to heels,
seeking vital spot He was past that. An
hour later, when Mrs. Bowser, who had
become alarmed at the unusual stiffness,
be seen. He was not in the back yard He
was not up stairs. When lunchtimo came,
he entered the front door as usual, and she
rushed forward to cxclaim:
why, Mr. Bowser what became of you
all at once?"
is this Mrs. Bowser?" he inquired in
ice cold tones as he looked her up and
down.

to luncheon, and after that I will see you
in the library. You will set up claim, of
course, but think it can be managed. I
think So Mrs. Bowser. You must have

your husband dead in there, but any rea-
sonable claim will be allowed in order to
