than either of her three sisters. But
while they have the advantage in height
they cannot equal her in the matter of
hair, Notwithstanding that all three
have curls over yard and half long.
Not the least remarkable part of this
wonderful hirsute development is that
while all three of Mrs. Davis's sisters
had long hair from early childhood,
the young lady herself could never in
duce her tresses to fall below her
shoulders, so that it is only within the
past years that they have developed
such tendency to eclipse Paderew-
skis shaggy name.

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 I

ing. When q girl gave very little
attention to my bair, and in conse.
quence it did not grow at all. Some
times I felt very much ohsgrined to
see how much longer and prettier was
the hair of all three of my sisters, but
I was somewhat careless. When be-
csme q woman suddenly developed q
desire to have long hair like theirs,
and began to take the utmost care of
what little I had. Every morning,
and sometimes twice day, ! brushed
it thoroughly, but it did not grow any
better. Then I 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 realized that
while the brushing had no effect upon
the long hair it effectually killed the
new growth, and I decided to stop.
"Since then have used nothing but
q very coarse comb. Every morning
go over the hair thoroughly and
carefully, removing every snarl until
it is as free and flowing as water.
Then I braid it and coil it into varied
ooifieurs about my head. Inever used
cosmetics on my hair. New York

The one prime caution in the use of
any wood is to avoid as much as pos
sible machine work. The stair rail
should be large and worked with sim
pie curves. The balusters should be
firm, of good size and plain. Most
cheap houses sin mainly in their man
tells, generally being monstrosities
built up of cheap machine moulding
and tawdry turned spindles and
rosettes. The line of mantel should
be simple, the general design should
be severely plain. and if the size of the
room will warrantit, it should be mas
sive. The artistic eye of the architect
can here be shown in the careful Sc
lection of design in mantels and taste

and interior woodwork. Such details
should never be left to the carpenters,
contractor or builder, but be shown

Insurance on New Warships.

1t is not generally known-probably
because people do not stop to think
that the Cramps are obliged to carry
an enormous amount of insurance on
the vessels which are built IN their
shipyards for the Government. No
battleship has ever started ON her trial
trip without being heavily insured,
and when several vessels are in course
of construction at one time the sum
amounts up into the millions. Edwin
S. Cramp is authority for the state
ment that the company at one time
carried $12, 900. 900 insurance on Gov
ernment work. In fact it is said that
the Cramps wore obliged to 60 to Eng
land in order to secure this amount OF
insurance, owing to the limitations Of
the American companies. = Philadel'

INTERIOR FINISH.
Architectural Beauty in the Inside OF
Inexpensive Houses.

The wood finish and joiner work of
house puzzles many man who con-
templates building. The estimates
for the various styles of finish differ
quite materially, and yet the matter
is one that cannot be settled off.hand

factory results, for this is the one part
of the house that is abiding. He may
change his outer walls, he may build
additions, he mny alter his system Of
heating and plumbing, but II is quite
impossible to tear out the woodwork
and replace it with another kind; 30
il behooves the man who is about to
erect house to give this subject the
most careful attention and "be sure
he is right before he goes ahead"
For cottages and small inexpensive
houses, perhaps the best results are
obtained by the use of cherry and pine,
both in their natural colors. Both
woods harmonize well, and there are
no violent contrasts where the two are
compelled to meet. The use Of hard
woods, like oak, chestnut, or ash, for a
few rooms, finishing the rest of the
house in any soft wood, makes con.
trast that will always be displeasing to
the critical eye. Whitewood and bass
wood are sometimes used, but these
have no grain at all to speak Of when
stained, they are always vile; in natu.
raj finish they are not displeasing, but
they are not to be com meuded on ac-
count OF their lack of durability. A

"a charming suit of rooms and her meals

The day nurseries, which are becom-
ing such a prominent feature of city life,
are generally under the management Of
trained nurse who is paid fair salary
by the society supporting the nursery.
Many of the missionary societies and
dispensaries in the large cities employ
nurses to visit the sick poor in their
homes A few euterprising nurses man
age to turn numerous honest pennies by
giving lessons in bedmaking and cook
ing for invalids to classes of women and
girls, usually members of clubs of one
sort or another.
The work of the trained nurse is not
easy, and the occupation is one which
should not be taken up by any one who
is looking for something light or who is
not strong and healthy. There are few
women's occupations which entail more
hard work or greater responsibility, and
there are few which offer more oppor-
tunities for genuine success i'll the sense
of being an all round useful member of
society and earning a good living.

sive view of the services of that most
remarkable woman. Anna Ella Carroll,
now, it is to be hoped, at rest i'll place
where the cruel ingratitude of her fell
low countrymen will stab her no more.
American men chose to ignore, because
it was woman who had so great "a
brain, the work she did for this Union.
They would not admit it, through pure
jealousy of SEX Let American women
never forget it. 1t is shown by unmis-
taxable records that Anna Ella Carroll
planned the whole military campaign
which resulted in the conquest of the
Mississippi valley by the Union army.
She went to- st. Louis and studied the
situation. Then she returned to Wash
ington and with maps which she herself
prepared reported to the president her
plan for the campaign of the Tennessee,
which was afterward successfully exc
cuted exactly as she proposed After the
fall of Fort Henry, Assistant Secretary
of War Thomas A. Scott said, "This is
Miss CAROLS plan and if it succeeds
the glory is hers" "She did more for
the country than all the military gener-
ais" said Senator Howard. Lincoln and
Stanton knew and acknowledged it..
But Lincoln was assassinated and Stan
ton died and Anna Ella Carroll was
never rewarded.

THE NEW WOMAN.
She Does Not Waste Time In Making
Fashionable Calls.

She Does Not Waste Time In Making
Fashionable Calls.
A lady writes to complain bitterly of
the law of Mrs Grundy which compels
her to make and receive fashionable
calls. She asks if there is no relief from
this frightful ordeal of boredom to
which she is subjected In the idle,
formal chatter and gable of the women
who call on her and whom she calls on
there is not one uplifting or improving
thought spoken. There are empty for
malities of talk, there is sometimes gos-
sip of kind which poisons the mind of
the woman who peddles it and the
woman who receives it. In this horrible
fashion of calling" nobody is really
glad to see anybody. If we have friends
whom we really desire to meet, we go
quietly where they are or have them
come to us when we have an hOur to
spare, and both of us are refreshed and
made happy. But when woman makes
formal call she puts on stiff, uncom-
Portable gown and stiff uncomfortable
manner that goes with the gown. If she
has any sense, she is horribly bored by
the performance. If the woman she visits
has any sense, she is bored even worse.
The system is a relic of those oriental
ages when women were kept in seclu
sion and visiting each other was the
only outlook they ever got of the world.
Now it is different. Women are not
kept like Chinese and Turkish females
any more. They can go where they
please. Why, then, should they continue
the Chinese system? Do they know how
much precious time they are thus wick
eddy wasting-time that might improve
them mentally and physically, time
that would keep them abreast of-&9l the
movements for the progress of mankind;
There is one way the lady who com
! plains can get rid of this useless relic OF
a past age .nd condition, making OF
calls-she can read the riot act and say
she will not do it. That was what
/ myself did long ago. There is no real
sociability in it; there is nothing i'll II
but vanity and waste Of time. With the
introduction of professions for women
and also of the woman's club, the hour
came to break away from the idiotic
and time eating custom of making calls.
Down with it The woman who has
nothing better to do than this ought tC
be ashamed of herself.
