When a girl I gave very little attention

Livery morning, and sometimes twice
q day, I brushed it thoroughly, but it
did not grow any better. Then noticed
that the brush, after the daily applica-
ton 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 it efectualIy
killed the new growth, and decided 70

YOUTHFUL CRIMINAL.
Little Five Year-O1d Johnny Brady
Tries to Hang a Playmate.

Little Five ear-Old Johnny Brady
Tries to Hang a Playmate.
New York, April PA summons was
issued by Judge Tighe in the Butler
street police court Brooklyn, for the
appearance there of John Brady, o.
years old, of No. 147 Columbia street,
who is charged with assault. The com
plainant is Benjamin BininOWitz, a tail
or, of No 125 Columbia street, who al
legged that the Brady boy attempted to
kill his small daughter, Serry, yester-
day by hanging her.
According to the fathers story, the
boy induced his daughter to go to the
cellar of the Brady residence to play
There he tied a strong string around
her neck, and mounting a box threw
the other end of the string over a. beam.
Then il is alleged, he induced the child
to stand on the box, and securing the
free end of the string to a post. pull
ed the box from under her feet. The
boy then ran away leaving his vic
tim hanging by the neck, with her toes
just touching the ground. An ice man
who entered the cellar a minute later
found the child in her terrible position
and cut her down She was so ex-
hausted that she tainted when released.
The father told the judge this morning
that she was still suffering from the
shock today, and that her neck was
black and swollen as a result of the
attempted haneing

San Francisco Lady who Has over 81
Feet OF Hair.

San Francisco Lady Who Has over SIX
Feet OF Hair
Mrs. D. J. Davis, OF San Francisco,
Cal, has the longest hair in the world
1t clusters in great mass about her
head, and though she is a tall woman,
being five feet nine inches in height
her long tresses, when uncOiled, sweep
upon the ground for nearly a foot Her
hair is Just six feet and eight inches
Ia length
Mrs. Davis comes Of a family remark
able alike for their height and the
length of their hair. Though Mrs. Davis
is i've feet and nine inches in height,
she is shorter by nearly an inch than
either Of her three sisters. But while
they have the advantage in helght. they
cannot equal her in the matter Of hair,
notwithstanding that all three have
curls over a yard and a half long. Not
the least remarkable part of this Won
derful hirsute Development is that
while all three of Mrs. Davis sisters had
long hair from early childhood, the
young lady herself could never induce
her tresses to fall below her shoulders,
SO that it is only within the past years
that they have developed such a ten
ency to eclipse Paderewslzi's shaggy
name.
But it is not surprising that Mrs.
Davis and her sisters should have such
q Growing glory to boast OF, for the
mother of this interesting family had
hair that dangled five feet from the
crown Of her. head. Mrs. Davis seems to
have lived all her life among long-haired
people, for her sister-in-lav-, with whom
she now resides at the Union hotel
in the Potrero, has over four feet OF
hair, and her niece, a little girl scarcely
three years old, has a braid d inches IN
length, which she succeeds daily in
tangling badly, and for which she as
regularly does penance when the comb
is applied.
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 do not
believe it is good for the hair In fact,

SHE READS TO SAVE.
A Hous ekeeper Gives Her Reasons why

"A H0us ekaePer Gives her Reasons why
She Studies Advertisements.
I study advertisements and I know
where and when and how to purchase
the household supplies. My husband
used to laugh at me for reading adver-
tisements SO carefully, and he has long
since learned that save many dollars
every month, says a writer in Woman
kind. I know of no better way to prac-
tice economy, and do you know it is a
wonder how soon you learn to detect
the real from the false, intuitively, al
most2 I do not think 1 have ever been
taken in" by an advertisement; there
is always something about the false ones
that repels me. You hear a good deal
nowadays about the practical pages"
Of magazines and newspapers, but for
me the practical pages are those con
tanning the business announcements OF
reputable houses. The housekeeper
who takes advantage Of the practical
hints in those pages shows a great deal
more common sense than does the one
who tries to furnish scven-roOm cot
tage with a lot Of soap boxes covered
with denim worked in fancy stitch, and
to feed her growing family with never
ending "reminiscences Of the meal that

The curtain have designed for my

About two yards would be required,
finished with a narrow ball fringe the
same color, and -ornamented with two
rows of narrow black aatin ribbon
sewn on IN vandyl0es. To explain ta4ia
clearly. I have had a portion of the
curtain sl1etched to help my readers.
If further economy be desired, the cur

and, of course, could be carried out in
any color. The ribbon Ornamentation
is novel and enective.-Iadaus.

HANDY PIGEON HOLES.
A Valuable Addition to BOudoir, Bedroom
or Library.


Library.
The principal materials required
will be eight medium-sized cigar boxes.
Having removed the lids, carefully
strip eff all labels, and glue the boxes
together one on the top of the other
as shown in the sketch. I suggest
gluing as the neatest and strongest
method of fastening, and feminine
fingers are apt to find the management
Of nails rather difficult. When these
prehminaries are accomplished, the
pigeon holes should be carefully sand
papered all over to remove any rough
ness; then, with some stain and var
nish combined paint inside and out, app
plying two or three coats until a good
polish is obtained. Any stain may be
applied, but the dark oak, I think.
looks the best The next step is to
procure a small bottle of gold paint,
and decorate in some conventional pat
tern each side of the pigeon holes; II
this be beyond your powers, the old
fashioned spatter work applied with
soft toothbrush and comb makes ex-
cellent oTnamentation- For the be1e-
fit of those who do not know how to
do spatter work, I may say that it is
done by dipping the tooth brush into
the gold paint, and then passing the
comb rapidly along it so as to 'spat-
teri the liquid upon the article to be
decorated. If af-tisticaIly done, spatter
work is extremely pretty To complete
your pigeon holes, a thin brass or BAN
boo rod should be run across the top.
This can be purchased with small
brackets for fixing up at very little

QUEER LIGHTNING.
It Strikes a Residence and Cuts Funny
Capers-

Chicago, April 27.-During the last
thunder storm the residence of Charles
A Lang, at 679 WashtenaW avenue was
struck by lightning. The bolt came in
through the roof and tore a large hole
in the ceiling No one was hurt, but
the inmates Of the house received a Sc
we're shock
1T was a remarkably lucky escape. -
said Mr.. Lang in speaking of his ex-
perience The lightning came through
the roof, boring a round, smooth hole
in the ceiling 1t then jumped to the
gas pipe and followed that about the
wall. ripping off the plaster as it went.
firing of the gas pipe, the visitor leap
ed across the room and strange as it
may appear, followed the seam in the
wall paper and finally darted through
q window, as we suppose. and disap-
peared- Another peculiar thing is
that in travelling about the room the
lightning darted out here and there
from its chosen course and ripped off
the plaster where nails had been driven
so that the wall looked as though it had
gone through a regular siege"
