A MILLI0NAIRE's AMUSEMENT.
The Now wealthy Ex-Junk Man
Spends Nfs TiIme in Whfttling.

A millionaire must be allowed to have
some a~musements, and If he is disposed
to amuse himself in ways that would
not be at all amusing to the big public
made up of men who are not million
aires he must certainly be accorded the
privilege.
One of Chicago's greatest stockmen
and packers was once a dealer in junk,
and it is said that he once went about
gathering old iron himself. Now he is
reputed to be worth $25, 600, 900, and ru-
NOR says that he has his property in
such shape that he could, if he chose,
raise a larger sum in cash than any other
man in Chicago.
Each morning the m~illionaire's man
comes into his office with a bundle of
clean pin sticks, which he places in a
corner not far from the m~illionaire's
desk. When the millionaire has read
his morning mail and business men come
in to see him he takes one of the sticks
and. with a big, old-fashioned jack
knife, whites it into bits, the. shaving
falling on the floor. Sometimes he walks
up and down-he walks much-and whit
ties. By the time business is done for
the day his office looks like a carpenter
shop and the bundle of pine sticks has
vanished. The harder the business prob
lens he has to meet the harder he whit
ties. And that is the way he amuses
himself.-Chicago Record"

SEPARATED FoRTY-TWo TIMES.
Once the Quarrel Was Over a Cus-
tard Pie.

The Monroe County Cour has ap-
pointed a guardian for the estate of
Isaac Brewer, of Stroudsburg. This is
the climax of a strange career. He and
his wife. Alice. nave had ups and downs
with the most alarming frequency dur
ing the twenty-five years of their mar
ried life. In that time the wife has, it
is asserted. deserted her husband exact
ly forty-two times. Forty-one times
Isaac was able to coax or hire his bet
ter half to return home. But the forty
second time she refused, and she is now
living with her daughter. They would
have a slight disagreement and the wife
would leave home. Perhaps she would
be absent several days, and then Brewer
would GO in search of her. The twenty
third disappearance was caused by a
custard pie, and it cost the husband just
$500 in cash and the deed of a house to
get his wife back. It seems their tastes
differed as to custard pie. the husband
seeming to have peculiar ideas about its
makeup. Now the wife says she cannot
be hired to go back home. and the guar.
dian has been appointed. GAINESVILLE

CULTIVATE THE MEMORY.
HOW to Go at 1t t Wake a Child Re-


A hsN of forgetfulness is one of
the greatest hi~ndrances in all business
and social relations, but our modern
style of life and education is certainly
Injurious to the memory. The old
methods of learning by rote have fallen
into disfavor, and there was much to
say against them as a hindrance to
originality; but there is a time in every
child's life when learning by rote is a
useful thing, and it is at a very early
age, for the minds of young children
not being occupied with so many things
as those of their elders, they are in a
receptive condition. and their memory
is more %retentive than later on. Every
mother has been struck by her child of
two or three years remembering per-
haps for some months where a certain
thing was. placed. or some little event,
and it is a matter of common experience
that we remember the events of our
early youth more forcibly than those
of even a few months back.
1t is possible to begin to cultivate the
memory as soon as a child can talk,
when it should be made to describe
everything it has seen during its morn
ing walk, or to repeat some little story
that has been told to it, or a short les
son which has been learned. Every
teacher before beginning a new lesson
should make sure that the lesson of the
day before has been retained and un-
derstood, for the more we overcrowd the
little brain in the attempt to force
knowledge upon it the less we impress
upon it for future use. 1t is the expert
ence of all those who a cranamed for
examinations hat as soon as the exalni-
nation IS over the undigested knowl-
edge passes away, and similarly through
life. Unless an item of knowledge is
assilniiated it becomes as useless to the
mental system as an undigested article
of food to the bodily system, and in
both cases they act as an ~irritant, in
terfer.ng with the proper digestion of
other matters.
In a we'll ordered mind the facts re-
main and points are, as it were, pigeon
holed in such a way that they can be
brought out Immediately when required.
There are untidy brains, in which the
objects of knowledge are confused and
not ready to hand, SO that they may
turn up at unexpected moments, but not
just when wanted, in the same manner
as there are untidy drawers, wardrobes
and rooms, and to cultivate a HABIT of
mental order as well as one of physical
order should be the earne$t desire of
every mother and teacher.-Hone Notes.

CARE OF THE HAIR.
Rules for Improving
CrOwnin9 Beauty

Numberless ARTISTS or ''coiffures," in
these lays of physical culture, are max
ing a scientific study of the treatment
of the hair. Hygiene is now so well APP
preciated tina no charge of vanity can
be brought up against the woman VINO
makes a study of the care Of her person,
and surely, whether PLAIN or lovely OF
feature, her t'crowning glory" deserves
attention, and should be- well treated.
The mode of brushing and combing is
of the first Importance. A little spirits OF
wine diluted in cold water is good for
cleansing the scalp, but any application
of strong alkali is fatal to the preserva-
ton of color, texture and vitality. Now
divide the hair into two portions, and
holding first one, hen the other, trmiy
in the hand below the nape of the neck,
give the ends a quick, light brushing.
This will tend to prevent the hairs split
ting, while if the extreme ends be
smoothed off with flannel dipped in rose
water, they will be easier to manage in
dressing.
Above all things, avoid the common
practice of pushing the hair up with the
comb to prevent a braid or puff end
loosening. It invariably results in split
hairs and feeble growth at those parts.
The hair about the temples and brow
should now be carefully brushed back,
while the greatest care should be taken
if curling tongs or even curl papers are
employed.
If tongs must be used, see that the
hair is thoroughly brushed free from
dandruff and is of suitable length. Di-
vide it in strands thick enough to insure
a wave; then, having heated the irons
carefully, pass them lightly under each
strand. not twisting them.
A soft, wavy look may thus be given;
bu almost any method of curling or
tongs, Which eventually injuries the hair
seriously. If a fluffy. appearance is de-
sirable, pass the small end of the comb
lightly through the waves, and dampen
them a little with the wet sponge:
In regard to clipping and cutting the
hair. so important a factor in it's growth
is this branch of our subject that pages
might be written upon it, but a few
practical suggestions must suffice. The
moon grows too SOON can be taken as
meaning that once a month is sufficient
for this process, and quite justly.
Before clipping the ends, however, SINCE
them quickly, then cut off as far as the
singeing shows. Nearly everyone knows
that clipping the extremities of the hair
is advisable, but few are aware that an
important part is to cut out all weakly
hairs, especially about the temples. At
ter cutting these. rub briskly with a So
luton of rose water and glycer'ne, n
a fresh. healthy growth will be promot-
ed. The entire chevelure nay be gone
through in this way, carefully clipping
out the weak hairs. Ladies' Every

TWo-HANDBD WHIST.
A New Style of Playing Which Makes
1t Much Like the Ordinary Game.

Two-handed whist is being played at
some clubs and private parties, and a
variation has been introduced which
. makes it resemble more than ever the
regular f~our-handed game and has In
fused new interest in it. As explained
in the New York Tribune" the game is
played by dealing to each of the two
players one-half of the cards. one ait a
time, as in the regular game. The cards
are then placed on the table in piles of
two, so that zach player has thirteen
piles. The top card of each pile is turn
ed UP at the beginning of the game.
This leaves thirteen cards in each hand
exposed. Play begins with the non-deal-
er. who plays one of his exposed cards,
and. as soon as the trick is taken. he
turns up the card that was beneath it.
In this way all the cards are finally ex-
posed and played.
AS two cards make a trick, there are
naturally twenty-six tricks in all, thir-
teen of which it takes to make a book,
after scoring which every trick counts
one point. Thus while 1t is possible to
make thirteen points in one deal, it is
also possible to have no count whatever.
ard in actual play it frequently happens
that neither player makes a point in a
particular deal.
The variation of the game is to ar
range the cards as before described, when
as he has made the play he turns up and
exposes the card which was uncovered.
The first player then plays another card
on the same trick, again exposing the
face of the card underneath the
played, If there be one, and the second
player has the last play. This, of course.
makes only thirteen tricks, and the regu-
lar rules of whist govern in counting the
game.
The chief recommendation of the game
is. of course, that it is played by two
persons. and makes an interesting pas
time. There is more of am element OF
chance in it than there is in the regular
game, as, naturally, it is impossible to
tell the location of the cards turned
down until they are exposed to view, and
IN the American game of whist good
players soon discover the presence of
the principal cards in the hands of their
partners and their opponents. In spite
Of this uncertainty. there is always a
chance for considerable headwork and
often for well considered and brilliant

MR.. sHBRMANs POLITICAL CAREER
His Ability to Champion Opposite

Sides and Retain Influence.
John Sherman was the other Senator
from Ohio during the Reconstruction
period. He had entered Congress as a
free-soiler in 1852, at the time of
which 1 write had developed into an ac-
tive, forceful, and very influential Re
publican leader. The most remarkable
feature of Mr.. Sherman's long career
has been his singular ability successfully
to champion at different times opposite
sides of important questions. and yet re-
tain his influence in the councils of his
party. His attitude IN the impeach-
ment was a memorable case in point.
1t was he who first developed the weak.
ness of the case against the President
by demonstrating that Stanton's dismiss
sal from the Office of Secretary of War
was not an infraction of the Tenure Of
Office Act, and therefore not an i'm
p~eachable offence, stree Mr.. Stanton, as
Mr.. Lincoln's and not Mr.. Johnson's APP
pointee, was not protected by that act.
However, Mr.. Sherman preserved his hold
upon his party by declaring his purpose
of voting for the Presidents impeach-
ment on the second and third articles,
which were based on the first and lac no
force save in connection herewith. His
pro-impeachment colleagues were salts
fled with this seeming and tardy repent
ance, but from the moment he avowed
his opposition to the first article tic inn
parchment enterprise was doomed, and
Mr.. Sherman is too s1rewd a man not TO
nave known it. Many doubted whether
Mr.. Sherman was in reality an honest
supporter of the impeachment movement,
and his course in this regard affords
some grounds for the doubt, but it is a
fair illustration of his ability to trim his
culating, and a~ustere, Mr.. Sherman has
been able to retain his hold upon public
life continuously for more than forty
years-a record almost without a parallel
in our history.-October Forum.
