Packing Trunks for a Living.

What is really sensible occupation
that could be managed from the wom-
ems exchanges would be that of trunk
packer, says the Philadelphia Times.
In these days Of widespread summer
travel, packing has come to be q dread
ed necessity with women. The differ
ence between skilled and unskilled
trunk storing cannot be fully appreciat-
ed until the two are compared. There
is an economy in it that is obvious.
1t means fewer trunks, less destruc-
ton to contents, and, above all, the
blissful relief to bodies and brains
taxed to the last degree in leaving q
house in deserted summer trim, putting
finishing touches TO the family ward
robe, looking after the comfort of those
to be left, and all the rest. There was
a woman who wrapped a silk dress
skirt last summer around q jar Of
grandma's preserves, which she could
not risk attempting to bring home with
her, who would better have employed
Il professional packer at 81 trunk.
The cleaners bill was 81, and she lost
the preserves, too. The occupation
would not be SO laborious to the pro-
fessional packer as it is to the anna
t4,1lr. The confidence of knowledge is a
great relief in itself, and the 'profes-
sionar' would insist upon the trunk be-
ing set upon rest and all it's intended
contents spread out before her, serious
helps to packing which the woman try
ing to be in half dozen places ut once
on packing day often ignores. Mean
time, il you must pack your OWE trunks
dear sister, spike your hats and bonnets
to the trunk tray with hat pins, dis
card boxes. pack bottles only in cork
lined eases that come for the purpose,
carrying them in a separate bag other
wise and don't pack on damp day
near the window or you'll find your
beautifully starchcd muslins and linens
limp as rag when they arc taken

How yanda,,n Got 1t. Name.

Some Of the names of towns are ar
rived at in a peculiar way. For exam
ple, tho town Of Vandalia. in Indiana,
which WAS named In q singular man
ner. The man who owned the land on
which the present town of Vandalia is
situated was 4 man without great
deal Of education, and wanted a lawyer
friend Of his who was a wag, to give
him Il name for his new town. The
wag suggested that the Nandals were a
very noted people, and that he should
name his own town "Vandalia, OF the
home Of the Vandals." 1t was at that
time the coming metropolis Of Illinois
and subsequently was the capital Of
that state, and was named Vandalia

Here is the quccrest bulTfrog story
on record: A youth who lives at
High Shoals says that his fathers
cows frequently came up at night
with the appearance Of having been
MIXED. His father got tired of it
and sent him to the pasture with the
COWS to catch the thief. He spent
the day near enough TO the cows &c
watch them, he, thought, but at
night 1T was still evident that the
COWS had been MIXED again. He
WAS scolded and sent back with them
the next day. About III o'clock, nc
says, this COW went into the canes
near small lake and lowed. He
crept through the brush and caught
the thief in the act, and he proved
to be bullfrog us In &c as hat.
The frog was hanging on to the cows

HAIR DYsiNo AN ANCIENT AR.

from cleopatra Down Women Have Re-
sorted to the Dangerous practices.
The art of dyeing the hair is at
least as old as the time of Christ; it
va, by reSorting to such aids to
beauty that Cleopatra tried to can.
ture Caesar. All through history In.
dies of fashion have tried to improve
upon nature by artiflcially coloring
that which st. Paul tells us is their
glory. In the heyday of Venice, the
laciie beauties OF tho city OF the Ia
goons dyed their haira red to which
Titan was not ashamed to affix his
name. The belle of bellies in that
day bad red hair, not bright red, but
dull red, with glints of crimson.
More recently, almost in our own
time, a rage arose for bright blonde
hair, as to which there wa, a tradi-
tion that 1t had been popular with the
Greek hctairp. Blonde heads block
ca the thoroughfarcs, and young la.
uics OF good repute did not disdain
to employ the dyer until his service,
were monopolized by another class,
In our day, the popular color is a
bright shade Of auburn, the bloudc
cendre OF the boulevards, and silly
girls go through martyrdom to impart
that tint to their locks. For the
popularity of blonde hair the arco.
naut finds tois excuse. that A. is

gend of the golden fleece was suggest
cd by the ardor with which Jackson
and other Greek connosscurs pur-
sued the blonde haired maidcns OF
Colchis.
Almost all hair dyes consist of sui
pnur and acetate of lead, both of
which are injurious to so delicate a
plant us human hair. A steady
course OF either will impair the Vital
ity of the hair papilla and may dcs-
troy the mcdulla altogether. Women
who bleach their hair use peroxide
of hydrogen, which, after time,

lustcr TO the hair. A moro danger
Gus dye still has for its bases nitrate
OF silver. When this is used the
hair Is first washed with sulphuret of
potasslum; the nitrate is applied
while it is still wet In all these
cases the drug is adulterated with a
pigment of the desired color and the
cucct for the time is to substitute
that color for the natural hue of the
cortical substance or hair bark. 1t
need hardly be said that he effect OF
n continued use OF such indictments
