THE HAlRORESSER.
He Tells Stories of Human Vanity as Dis
played In His Business.


played In His Business.
The hairdresser was, as Is not unusual
with members of his profession, in talk
alive mood. He was also inclined to medi-
tate upon the vanities of humankind,
which he has admirable opportunities to
observe.
"If it wasn't for the fact that people
think so much of their looks" he said,
1--WE should lose three-quarters of our busl-
ness and might as well shut up shop. 1t
Is wonderful to me, although you'd think
might be used to 1t by this time, to see
how much trouble people will take about
their hair. just now the most fashionable
shade of hair among women Is deep red
dish brown or bronze. To get that color
we bleach the hair to a blonde shade and
then dye 1t to the proper bronze tone. 1t
is very slow job, for there must be five
or six applications of the bleach, and then
the dyeing takes good deal of time. The
whole process requires an entire day, and
women will come In here and sit from
morning until evening, never losing pa
tience i. ley only think the result will be
becoming and stylish.
"But that's only one of the ways In
which they show their vanity about hair.
There are lots of others Why, had a
woman come in the other day who wanted
all her own hair cut off, so that she could
wear wig / looked at her In surprise.
Her head was covered with thick, soft,
naturally wavy hair Of the finest quality,
but what do you suppose was her objection
to it? 1t was gray took out the hair
pins, and the beautiful mass of hair fell in
ripples far below her waist.
"'But, madam, said, 1T is shame
to cut off this hair 1t is magnificent.
"'Oh, no, she said, Il will not have
gray hair Cut it, 1 tell you. l want q
brown wig
$50, of course, did as / was told. The
hair dropped to the floor, and was glad,
tell you, when found she didn't want
to take it away with her. For, you know,
handsome gray hair is the rarest and hard
est to get in our business. Most OF 1t
comes from abroad What do you suppose
that woman's hair was worth TO mey
Thirty dollars-not cent less. She went
away with a heavy brown wig, which was
bideous compared with the hair she had

at isn't fair, though. to lay all the van
ity to the women. Lots of men come here
at regular intervals to have their hair
curled. Oh, it is true. There are plenty
of men vain enough for that" he added
as his auditor looked inoredulous. "But

when a man came to have his hair bleach
ed. l made it golden blond for him and
then ourled it, according to his orders.
But hope he won't come again. Men

CHINESE GORDON.
The Story Bishop Told About the Fa-
nous English General.

The Story Bishop Told About the Fa-
nous English General.
The bishop of Tasmania in one of his
sermons told a story which brings out the
character of man whom all the world
learned to respect-for wonder before he
died. The bishop-so says The Sunday
Magazine-was indebted for the story to a
clergyman who had spent some years in
GAIA, Palestine.
One night this clergyman was coming
home late, and in the dusk of the evening
when objects were not very distinct he saw
what looked like a man kneeling on the
ground by the side of his horse. The place
was not safe one. Arabs might easily
surprise the kneeling traveller.
81 must go and warn that man"
thought the clergyman. at will never do
to let him remain there He does not
know that he may get into trouble"
As he came nearer to put his resolution
into practice he was stopped by words
that evidently were not addressed to him
SELF A moments listening convinced him
it was the voice of prayer to which he lis
tened.
"Oh, my God, take me away out of my
self, lest fall; make me to look unto thee,
that l may humble myself and BIO like
theei' said the voice of the kneeling man.
The clergyman hesitated to interrupt
the strangers devotions, but no could not
persuade himself to leave him in danger.
After waiting for a time he approached,
saying as he did so, "Sir, beg your par
don, but you are in danger here.
The man rose, and the clergyman's sur
prise was great when he found himself
standing face to face with General Cor
don.
"What are you doing out here in this
dangerous placer" he asked, not yet recov-
cred from his astonishment.
"This morning ! received telegram
from England asking me TO undertake u
mission which had longed to undertake
all my life, replied the general. 1T filled
me with such elation that felt l might
get into trouble through pride, and /
thought would just get upon my horse
and go away by myself to humble myself
before God.
1t was thus that the noble heart of Cor
don met one of tho great trials of character
tho honor of being chosen to lead in an
important enterprise.
II believe" said the bishop, THAT the
mission of which he spoke was the one in
which he was employed when death met
him ~

Florida cattle trade, particularly since the

A Wellington snup.

The Duke of Wellington had had in
Lord Comberlnere one of the best aids
the army ever produced, and he had Of
ten expressed his appreciation of his
comrades good qualities, but when his
former lieutenant, who had taken to the
habits of gay man about town, called
upon him at the Horse guards in later
times of peace he treated the visit as
follows "What does that id old
panied jackass want with me?" His
military secretary, aghast, whispered,
"He will hear you, SIR" Then the old
duke used the words so often quoted
"Do you think care twopenny tinker S

might carry himself, was not proof
against this, and when the secretary en-

The proposition offered as an amend
ment TO the revenue bill to tax the gross
receipts of all corporations was voted down
in the Senate on Saturday. There is a
probability, however, that tax will be
imposed upon the receipts of the great
monopolies like the sugar trust. STANDARD
oil and telegraph and express companies
in excess of $3.50, 900 year. A tax on all
corporations indiscriminately would
undoubtedly work a gross injustice, for
many ordinary business concerns now
carried on under corporate form, would
be taxed while the partnerships just as
able to pay would escape. The suggestion
was the outgrowth of the undiscriminat-
ing hatred of the Populists and the Bryan
Democrats for anything styled a corpora
ton.

Now that Cervera's feet is cooped up
IN Santiago, Spain has only the Cadiz
fleet left. 1t contains one battle ship and
several armored cruisers of the Vizcaya
type, besides torpedo boats and auxiliary
cruisers. Several of the ships are power
full, provided they are in good condition,
which is somewhat doubtful.a Whether
this fleet has already left Cadiz o. not is
not certainly known, IT seems to have
sailed out of that port several days ago,
but it has been said since that the pur-
pose was simply to do some practice
cruising, and that it would return Short
ly. Now that Cervera has been bottled
up. probably public sentiment in Spain
will force it to come over here and at
tempt his relief. Certainly the people
will not permit it to lie idle in Cadiz.
There has been some apprehension lest it
should be sent to our Atlantic sscoast to
raid some of our shore towns and cities,
but in view of the predicament in which
Cervera has been placed any such scheme
will be abandoned, and an effort
will be made doubtless to draw off enough
ships from Santiago to enable Cervera's
feet to slip out 1t is impossible that
such an undertaking can succeed, for
SIMPSONS fleet is big enough to dis
pose of the Spanish squadron
without Schley's assistance. Moth
