The Conductor Wa. Polite.

A friend Of mine who has just returned
from Italy, where be has been wandering
for several months, told me an amusing
story with regard to one of those railways
that disfigure the high places of that de-
lightful country. though doubtless to the
lazy and the invalid they are blessing and
a boon. Ny friend was seated in one of the
cars near a stout English matron as they
made the ascent of a certain mountain.
And where should we go, conductor, il
the brake would not work." asked the stout
lady, in vile Italian. The conductor courte-
ously explained that in such circumstances
there was a second brake, duplicate safe
guard, which might be relied upon in such
an unlikely emergency.
"And where should we go, conductor, II
this second brake would not work." re-
peated the persistent stout one
'.Ah, madame" replied the official, with
an inimitabie shrug and smile, that would
depend on what our lives had BEEN

NO ACCOUNTING FOR TASTE.
Two Pretty Girls who Preferred
Alexa ndria to Washington.

Two Pretty Girls who Preferred
Alexandria to Washington.
They were two pretty young girls, dome
up in regulation Southern style in pretty
white muslin gowns with any quantity
of fluttering ribbons. They were loqua-
cious after the regulation pattern of the
young women of the present day with
that sublime conviction that their point
of view and their convictions and conclu-
sions were the only right and correct ones
that they were like the decisions of the
Supreme Court of the United States, in
asmuch as they were final and convinc-
ing.
They were seated in the train making
the dangerous trans-cOntinental trip frum
Washington to Alexandria.
They had, moreover, nu idea of allowing
the other occupants of the car to imagine
that they were provincial in any respect.
On the contrary, the idea sought ro be Con-
veyed was that they were regular blase
globe-trotters. They were kindly in their
disposition towards the other passengers,
inasnuch as they had no idea of allowing
them to perish of the ennui Of silence
upon the prodigiously long and dusty trip
for which they had fortified themselves
by donninS the white muslin gowns alluded
to, and on which the stiffly y-starched ruff
files stood out like quills upon the fretful
porcupine.
As the train moved out of the station
headed towards the Long Bridge and Incl
dentally towards Alexandria, the elder
OF the two settled herself in her seat with a
very audible sigh of satisfaction a nd broke
the stiffness of the SUM- baked air with:
"wel, declare am just too glad to
be going back home It's all very well tn
travel around, but homes the best place
after ALL"
Indeed, that's so," chirped up her
champion. Every time 1 leave Alex
andria am more nd more impressed with
that fact"
There was a moment OF white ruffled
silence and uplifted arms during which each
girl busted herself sho wing off her hands,
putting imaginary hairpins In place and
disarrapging in order to have the pleasure
of rearranging her x.,luminous white veil
about the wfite-w winged aailor set on an
angle Of fifty 1.-TWO degrees.
Then the elder expanded her ruffles,
pulled out her big sleeves until they stood
distepded like white wings on either side
and resumed:
washington is very well for a place
to run up to now and then, but for place
to live in give ME Alexandria every time"
''Yes, indeed. Washington is simply a
big place full of boarding houses and hotels,
not a place Of homes at all In fact, there
are literally no homes at all in Washington.
It Is perfectly hofrid in that respect.
dOu't sos, hou - the UaoDla aver D,a mare IN
exist there. Now, in Alexandria it is all
30 different. Alexandria is a place Of
homes. I wouldn't leave 1t for anything
you could meution. It's just too lovely to
talk about. Don't you think so?''

CARE OF THE HAIR.

I9nerance Brings A bout Unattracttve
Locks and Scalp Diseases.
According to certain distinguished hair
dresser. women do not know how TO comb
their hair. Their sins OF ignorance are al
most innumerable, and the result is not
only unattractive locks, but headaches and
scalp diseases.
A cheap comb aud brush. according to
this authority. belong q the same category
with cheap soap. They should never be
used. Cheap combs do not have smooth
teeth which will make their way unresist-
ingIy through the hair, but are rough and
tear and break long strands. A comb with
some of its teeth missing does effective
work In ruiuing the hair. 1t can never
be run through the hair without breaking
off some hairs and dragging others out by
the roots Rubber or shell Is the proper ma
teriai for n comb The teeth should not be
too sharp or they will lacerate the scalp.
On the other hand they must not be very
blunt or they will not be effective in smooth
ing out tangies.
Brushes should he chosen with equal care.
They should not have metal backs, no mat
ter how attractive silver may appear, for
the metal makes them TOO heavy. The back
should he Of light wood, and the bristles
should be long md thickly set Moreover,
they should be bristles, and not weak imi-
tations.
After she has purchased her 'tonsorial
supplies the woman who aspires to have
beautiful hair should learn how to use
them She should brush her hair for five
minutes at time twice day, using long.
even strokes. AT night she should part her
hair and let it hang in two loose braids.
Oncea day she should rub her scalp with her
fingers to stimulate the circulation The
brushing is absolutely necessary, for the
hair attracts dust and dirt with fatal IA
cility, and this, combining with the oil of
the hair, makes it malodorous and uupleas-
ant in the extreme. A monthly washing
with CASTLE soap and the daily brushing will
keep it clean and glossy.
