ut least, as that Charged at the two
most ImportarG ports on the river,
Pittsburgh and Cincinnati This the
committee failed 10 do. For boats OF
400 tons capacity and upward the new
ordinance fixes the wharfage rate at
81 70 per trip or s. 75 for the round trip.
Al both Cincinnati and Pittsburgh the
rate for the round trip Is s. 20. Wheel
ing should at least come down TO the
81 80 mark. At the last council meet
ing the ordinance would have been OPP
posed by n representative OF the river
interest, except that II was passed over
for consideration at the next meeting.
The Cincinuatl packets are now exenp-
ted from paying wharfage. by process
OF law. on Wccount Of the excessive
scale OF charges now In force here, and
II e probable they will refuse TO pay
at the 50 80 rate. TheTivermen claim
obey want nothing but bare Justice. and
that as Cincinnati and Pittsburgh
charge only 81 80. Wheeling should not
expect more.

their bosses along to do the heavy

learning the trade. The mistress of
the house Is In her glory. 1t Is her &C.
casion. She gets her husbands last
years duster on her back, and his last
summers straw hat on her head, over
a good-slzed towel to keep her hair

nose, and thus arrayed, she marches
through the halls with the. tread Of a

tits simply awful, but it's got to be
done, for II we didn't clean, what
would the neighbors think" an argu-
ment simply unanswerable. So she
scolds her way from cellar to garrett.
and bemoans her fate and tells the
servants she does not really know what
they are good for anyhow. She even
works her way into the yard where
the spading and planting and sodding
and withdrawing are going forward
under the auspices Of choice corps Of
men and brethren, and gives them to
understand that what they are doing
must be done in a different way from
the way they are doing 1t. The fact
that she knows nothing at all about
how 1t ought to be done cuts no figure,
and they may feel morally sure that
to follow her directions would spoil the
Job, but they are quite accustomed to
this sort of thing, so they show their
worries In broad and pleasant smiles,
respond with mechanical "Yessum,"
and go ahead with the work exactly as
they were doing 1t before. in confident
assurance that she will never know the
difference.
But, however pleasantly they may
smile, their hearts are full of wrath,
for housekeeping Is provocative Of
more rage and profanity than any
other occupation on the earth. Every
body engaged in it, from the scrub wo-
man who uses so much water that 1t
spoils the ceiling beneath, to the master
of the house, who eats his breakfast on
a table covered with the fiotsam and
jetsam of the household furniture and
comes home at noon to find that he Is
compelled to sit In the yard. Every
body quarrels with his nearest neigh
Dor, and the idea Of the unity and har-
mony of labor is shivered into frag-
ments by the experience Of spring
cleaning. The Congoese who is doing
the spading is always ready to pull his
razor on the Zulu who Is withdrawing

much talked of. Professor Crookes
was born in London sixty-four years
ago, and In his boyhood became inter.
ested in photography. He took a course
In the Royal College Of Chemistry un-
der DR.. Hoffman, and soon became as
sistant to his tutor. At % he was APP
pointed superintendent Of the Radcliffe
Observatory at Oxford. In 1859 he
founded the Chemical News, and In
1864 became the editor of the Quar-
terly Journal Of Science. Professor
Crookes was born with love for origi-
nal search. He, discovered the new
metal thallium while examining the
resfdues from a sulphuric acid works.
He was then made fellow Of the Roy
al Society. In 1872 he developed many
interesting matters in his investiga-
tons on "repulsion resulting from ra-
diation." In 1877 he invented the otheo-
scope. In paper that year before the
Royal Society he said he had succeed
ed in obtaining vacuum so nearly ap-
preaching perfection that the pressure
in 1t was only 0.4 millionth Of an atmos-
phere. 1t was found that in such an ex-
treme vacuum gases pass into an ultra
gaseous state, which Professor Crookes
described as radiant matter" 1t was
these vacua that made possible the In
candescent lamp. He has written q
small library, every book Of which Is Of
value to experimental and commercial
science. Professor Crookes' name can
never be ASSOCIATED from Roentgen's
discovery, because his tube" was its
basis. He is, perhaps, the most patient
and painstaking experimenter Of mod
ern times.

HAIR OF GREAT LENGTH.

Nearly One Foot Longer than Its
Owner Is Tall.
Mrs. d. ]. Davis, Of San Francisco,
Cal, has the longest hair in the world.
She is feet inches tall, and her hair
Is 8 feet inches long. Her sisters also
have very long hair.
II never brush my hair" said Mrs.
Davis, as she removed those long. coral
pins that held great coils in place about
her head so that her hair might be
measured, "for the reason that l do not
believe it is good for the hair. In fact

own satisfaction by experimenting.
When a girl I gave very little atten-
ton to my hair, and in consequence
1t did not grow at all. Sometimes I
felt very much chagrined to see how
much longer and prettier was the hair

woman suddenly developed a desire
to have long hair like theirs, and began
to take the utmost care of what little
I had. Every morning, and sometimes
twice a day, l brushed 1t thoroughly,
but 1t did not grow any better. Then
l noticed that the brush, after the daily
application to the hair, even when the
latter had no tendency to fall out
would be filed with very fine hairs,
and soon I realized that while the
brushing had no effect upon the long
hair 1t effectually killed the new
growth, and l decided to stop.

very coarse comb. Every morning
I go over the hair thoroughly and care

QUEEN OF THE FORTY THIEVES.
Polly Carr's Striking Beauty Won
Her Many victims.


Polly Carrie Striking Beauty Won
Her Many victims.
There was recently sent to prison In
London for a term of three years the
most skillful blackmailer and pick
pocket In that great English city. Her
name Is Polly Carr. and the secret Of
her great success was the extraordin-
airy beauty Of her face and figure. She
was known to the police as the Queen
Of the Forty Thieves" and for years
she conducted her operations so skill
fully that she has invariably escaped
Imprisonment The charge on which
she was recently sentenced was for
kidnapping a child.
Polly has associated with bad char
acters ever since she was II years old
when she was first arrested on q
charge Of theft. She soon became one
Of the most expert pickpockets In the
west end Of London. Next she turned
her attention to blackmailing, and so
successful was she at this calling that
her profits never fell much short Of
$500 week. Her favorite scheme
was to waylay elderly gentlemen on
their way home early In the morning
and ask them for the price'o cab, fare,
saying that someone had stolen her
pocketbook. Her good looks and inno-
cent expression would soften the heart
Of the wayfarer, and she rarely failed

In ut Ten.

The viennese take their pleasure as
regularly as they do their meals; but
they do not neglect business, nor keep
very late hours. A correspondent OF
the New York Tribune explains why
they come home early:
One thing, perhaps, which helps to
keep the young Viennese Of moderate
means and. economical mind regular In
his evening hours is the fact that he
must pay, to get into his own rooms
after 10 o'clock.
Vienna is, one vast system Of apart
ment houses, and house-master Is In
charge Of each one. At 10 O'clock he
locks the front door, and any one desir-
ing to get in after that hour must pay
him, and the old resident has no more
right to key than the bird of passage.
The house-master is no respecter Of
persons.
Several times we have raced home to
outwit him, and once so narrow was
our escape that we met him In the hall,
key In hand. The chagrined expression
on his face made us happy all the way
upstairs. pr.r.f

n no record in the Scriptures or else
where, of Eve turning her family out
Of doors in order to get the house clean
IN sprfngtime, but no doubt can be felt
that with the first warm days of every
season she began to remind Adam that
the house was just too filthy to live In
any longer, that everything would have
to come up. and she dreaded it so for
she was certain to get sick as soon as 1t
was over. 1t is also likely that Cain
and Abel, as soon as they saw the pre-
liminary symptoms, the scrubbing
brushes and mops and buckets Of
whitewash on the back porch, hid their
eaps under their jackets, IL they had
any caps or jackets, and absconded d.
rectly after breakfast, spending the
day on the banks of the nearest pond
and returned home after nightfall. to
be soundly trounced by the father Of all
mankind at the suggestion of man.
kinds mother, and sent to bed without
their supper. Some things may be
taken for granted, and among them Is
the fact that women have always been
attacked by the strengthening mad
ness. Pliny mentions the fact that In
his day the Roman wives turned their
houses upside down for week or two
under pretense of getting things clean,
and 1t Is quite probable that the ia

who had been turned out by his wife
Curing her attack, took this method of
perpetua ting his Indignation at the
eutrage on his domestic comfort and
that the picture merely represents a
spring cleaning 1000 years ago.
The antiquity Of the malady Is thus
beyond doubt, and 1t is equally certain
that the disease now raging among the
housewives OF this and every other city
q the Northern Hemisphere Is the
same Jnat mas hullCteu WOmdukl0O
from the earliest ages. 1t must be
noted, as one of its symptoms, that 1t

and the suggestion from her lord and
servant, made with a Difference becom-
Ing his subordination in the establish

who, speaks without the smallest atom
Of information on the subject. "A man

the torrent of feminine eloquence flows
on and the wise man will not only let 1t
flow. but also get out of Its way, for II
there Is one thing that woman knows
better than anything else. 1t is that a
house always gets shockingly dirty dur
