Taking Him Down.

The irascible guest had been sitting
ct the hotel table about six minutes,
and no waiter had come to him. He
squirmed around awhile, and when he
caught sight of the head waiter he
called him up.
Here" he said, ill-naturedly; I've
been waiting here for half an hour
for somebody to take my order, and no.
body has come near. What l want to
know is if I'm going to be waited on or
not?"
Certainly SIR" responded the head
waiter, most politely.
81 want to know why I've been kept
waiting SO long?" he went on, deter
mined to make it as unpleasant as pos
sible
Really, SIR" apologized the head
waiter, 81 can't tell l only came on
watch ten minutes ago, and the man
who was on duty when you came in
half an hour ago has left and WON'T be
back until this time tomorrow.
The guest knew the head waite. was
lying to him, but somehow it occurred
to him that he was not altogether
spotless himself, and he shut up.-Ds

THE DOMESTIC POSTWAR.

The thing that gives married man the trouble
of his life
And makes him weak and weary and afraid to
meet his wife,
Is rashly undertaking to deliver, without fail,
Her endless correspondence daily given him to
mail.
In spite OF all his efforts to remember her COM
mands
Like tying knots in handkerchief and strings
upon his hands,
In spite of solemn promises to do it right
away,
He never takes the letters from his pockets all
the day.
AT night he brings them home again; uncon-
scious of his crime,
He takes her kiss he don't deserve and at the
supper time
When suddenly remembering the letters in his
coat
A choky, strange sensation takes possession of
his throat
His jaunty manner changes and his spirits have
chill;

FLUFFY TRESSES REIGN.
This Necessitates Fortnishtly Shampoo
and Eternal Vigilance.

and Eternal Vigilance.
For the nonce fluffy tresses are the
style.
Women were wont to brush their
hair down; now they brush it up,
comb it up and blow it up with a fan
to produce the effect of thistledown
and corn tassels
The hair is first done up dry, then
crimpled all over, and finally dressed,
the couture being suggested by the
style of the hat.
There is quantity of bottled stuff
for the head toilet, but by all odds the
best, cheapest and most satisfactory is
lavender water The alcohol, which
is the body" of all toilet waters, re-
freshes, if it does not entirely cleanse
the scalp: it stimulates the action of
the glands, and, as it evaporates, the
offensive odors of perspiration are car
ried away There is just enough oil
and fragrance in the lavender flowers
to dress and perfume the hair Even
if allowed to dry, without combing or
brushing, it leaves the hair dry, glossy
and comparatively sweet, which moth
ing else will do.
Violet water, too, makes nice sham
poo, but it lacks the essential oil of the
lavender, and, moreover, it is not as
refreshing
These waters are only recommended
for well-kept heads of dry, coarse hair.
For the vast forty thousand who
have not the conveniences for good

be found excellent. When the water
is all over the scalp, rack the hair with
a coarse comb and then brush until the
head is red, hot and clean, and the hair
is dry and fluffy. For naturally oily
tresses this is one of the quickest
methods of dry shampooing.
A little fine scent, of violet, lilac,
hyacinth, sandal-wood, valley lily or
Egyptian lily goes long ways as a
hair-cleaner. A tablespoonful is enough
to perfume and bring out the natural
gloss of the hair, but it is not cleansing
nor to be used on oily hair.
In the uptown neutrality-suspicious. graft
flying attention is given to personal re-
fnement as well as personal culture.
One of the toilet hints on which en-
phasis is laid with red ink, is two
shampoos a month for every girl in
the dormitory.
The mistress of the bath does not
think that a lady can give her head
the care it should have, and the pre-
ceptress agrees with her. Every fort
night professional ladys maid goes
to school, and each fair head gets one
hours time and fifty cents worth of
care-taking.
The cost of crimping, gas included, is
about fifty cents a week. There is
no danger of any of these beautifully
grooned girls bleaching or dyeing their
hair. They have been taught that
clean hair is beautiful, and that no
hair and no girl can be beautiful or re-
fined without absolute cleanliness.

these two confessed again and again
their love for each other. After this it
did not take Minnie long to recover
her health and strength, for there is
nothing like happiness for restoring
both. In few weeks the wedding
bells were pealing, and Effie, finding
she could not be bride, made up her
mind to be the next most important
parsonage, chief bridesmaid.
Her fate was not so happy as Minnies,
for she had long determined to marry
for money and position. She did marry
for both, and obtained them through
an old peer, but she rapidly lost her
beauty, becoming every day sourer
and sourer, until in less than two wears
she would have been voted an old
woman by those who did not know
that she was barely twentyfour.
Minnie and Charlie, happy in each
others love, which now they shared
with little heir, grew younger every
day. until their friends were almost
ready to believe that they were years
younger than when they were married.

She glanced into the mirror again

wavy, light hair fall around her as she
brushed it, her countenance cleared
She thought surely Charlie Emmot
could not think her cousin Minnie
prettier than hers elf Then she turned
to Minnie.
Yes; l will come this afternoon"
she said.

MIR. KERR'S MOVE.
He Attacks the Plumbing Board In a
New Way.

Letters have been received by the men,
bers Of the appropriation committee of the
House from Thomas W. Kerr of this city,
calling attention to the Senate's amend
ment to the District appropriation bill
which provides thus for the plumbing
board: Fer compensation of not exceeding
five members Of the plumbing board at 500
each, $1,000, to be paid to said members, in
addition to any salary paid them for other
service"
Mr.. Kerr urges that the law of April 30
1892, provides fO- seven men instead of five
and suggests that Congress did not intend
to authorize the Commissioners to delegate
the power of determining who shall practice
plumbing IN the District and that the public
health is protected in every way without
the action of this board, because 1t is made
the duty of the inspector of plumbing, by
the regulations. to inspect all plumbing In
the District CT every kind and in every
place. He suggests that the Commissioners
might create new offices for no legitimate
purpose under this regula ton appointing
the board, and that it opens the way to
fayoritiSm and corruption, also that the
power and right of the Commissioners to
appoint this board is now in litigat ton before
the Court of Appeals.
Mr.. Kerr is the plumber who recently ap-
piled, without success, to Chief Justice
Bingham for writ of mandamus to compel
the Commissioners TO grant him license
