There was a moving in the Bowery a
few days ago, and it was watched with
interest by a score or so of passersby.
A stout Italian bootblack was transfer
ring his stand to some other part of the
town. Just before the moving began the
proprietor and his weakened little wife
stood beside the stand. The little wife
then put dirty little pillow on her
head and stopped trifie. The husband
thereupon picked up the stand with diff
Guilty and balanced it on the little wom-
an head. Then he took the two chairs
and placed them on the stand in such
fashion as to secure them from falling
The little wife, having Strengthened
up under her burden and made sure Of
its equilibrium, started down the Bow
cry, and the stout husband followed az
ease, putting cigarette, while the spec
tators looked on amazed to discover the
usefulness of wife as beast Of bur

The actresses who perform the principal

PRESERVE The HAIR.
Some Useful Suggestions to Those Who
Value What Is Invaluable.

Some Useful Suggestions to Those Who
value What Is Invaluable.
Avoid tight fitting hats and collars,
also close fitting caps, unless these be
of some porous material The two former
prevent due supply of blood to the
parts; hence the hair papill@ are put,
as it were, on short commons all the
time the hats and collars are worn. The
caps engender caloric, which sets up
irritation and ultimately that most
stubborn form of dandruf-namely,
pityriasis ii. e., hranny scales). Note
that all the headgear which is not porous
should be ventilated at top and sides to
allow free current of air.
Never sit or stand with the top of the
head near gas light or lamp light. The
heat thrown out is apt to paralyZe the
scalp tissues and dries d the hair itself.
Don't wash the HI. oftener than
once a fortnight, when first rub in the
yolk of an egg and thoroughly rinse out
with warm water, into which has been
thrown pinch of borax. Dry carefully
and apply little pure olive oil.
Beware of the common practice OF
dipping the comb in water when ar
ranging the hair. 1t promotes decompo-
sition and rancidity of the natural oil,
and so leads to 'rotting.
If the hair be naturally dry, apply
little olive oil occasionally. If natural
" oily, occasionally wash away the ex-
cess of sehaceous secretion by means of
a lather or tepid water and soap bark
(Quitlaya saponaria).
Salt water is most injurious to the
hair, for which reason when sea bath
ing wear an oil cap.
Always treat the scalp as if you loved
it. Take to heart DIR. Godfrey's dictum
that every touch affecting so delicate
a texture as the scalp should be soft and
soothing, every application bland and
mild. =" Don't use stiff bristled or wire
brushes, and in all cases brush gently.
Also, always brush ont the hair before
attempting to comb it, and use the comb
as little as possible.
Have the ends of the hair clipped once
a month. if only to prevent them from
splitting. But don't close crop. -Phila-
delphia Times.

GENERAL GRANTS FUNERAL.
The Procession In New York Was Eight
Miles In Length.

The Procession In New York Was Eight
Miles In Length.
The procession eight miles long,
wendell up Broadway between lines of
old soldiers--fags yelled, drums muffled
and arms reversed. The Grant family,
except Mrs. Grant, who was unable to
be present, followed in four carriages,
succeeded by the generals old staff, his
cabinet officers and detachments from
Grand Army posts. Members Of the
Aztec club, survivors of the Mexican
war, formed a group. President Cleve-
land rode with Secretary Bayard, and
they were followed by the vice president
and the cabinet, the supreme court JUS
tees, United States senators and COM
mittee of the house. Governor Hill and
his suit and a committee of the state
legislature were of the cortege; also gem
tlemen who had occupied diplomatic and
consular Offices under Grant while pres
ident. Besides all these were official
guests filling $50 carriages.
Over the ashes of the man who had
said "Let us have peace" all bitter
memories were forgotten. Speaker Car
Isle and ex-Speaker Randall rode with
Congressman Hiscock and Reed, Senator
Morrill, with Senator Cockrell, Sherman
with Ransom, Ingalls, with Harris.
Famous Confederates, distinguishable
by their gray silk sashes, fraternized
with Federal chieftains. Generals Joe
Johnston and Buckner officiated with
Sherman, Sheridan and Logan among
the pallbearers. Three other gallant
southerners Wade Hampton, Fitzhugh
Lee and Gordon, were also present at
the funeral. President E. Benjamin

Great wear Of railroad Iron.

Taking the total length Of the rail
ways of the world at even $1,000 miles
and allowing daily average of 10 trains
over each road, it is estimated that the
total loss Of iron by wear and tear each
day of the year is not less than 500 tons
The iron thus lost goes back to the earth
in the shape Of fine powder, which is
finally transformed into soluble iron
