Chiquitn, tho Cuban rairy.

Philadelphia, Oct. 17.-An especial
favorite at the National Export expo
sition Is the little Cuban lady, Chiqui-
ia, whose daily receptions, in her own
building. have been attended by a far
larger number OF people, 1t Ia said, than
any other attraction. with the possible
exception of the famous Hagenback
trained wild animal show, within the
grounds since the exposition was open
ed. Chiquita takes great delight in
frequent visits to Hagenback's, and en-
joys flirting with Jolly" the big,
good natured elephant.
Chiquita is no freak. but a dainty,
we'll dressed and accomplished lady OF
charming, refined manners. She is 80
years Of age, and only &c inches in
height. Her weight is liz pounds.
Visitors to the exposition are oe-
lighted with her, and her prettily ar
ranged reception parlors are crowded
daily with the ladies and children OF
the best families from all parts of the
Union. At no other exposition was 80
small and dainty. yet so beautiful, per-
feet, finely developed. the smallest,
most charming little creature in the
world. that every one feels they must
see her upon visiting the Philadelphia
exposition.

HOPE FOR THE HAIRLESS,
Cold of Alaska Puts Crop on the
Baldest Head,

The experience Of Roderick Dhu
smith, who recently returned from the
hiondike region with big budget Of
experience, quite little sum of money,
and a head of hair which almost quail
mes him to take an engagement as q
Circassian girl in a circus, is of es-
pecial interest to large contingent of
his fellow men and women, says the
San Francisco Call. For be 1t known
that Roderick, before making his per-
ilous way to the Arctic regions,
though otherwise pleasing to look up
ON and still on the sunny side of for
ty. was the owner Of a head which
made theater ushers, whenever there
was ballet on the program, escort
him down to the front row without
even glancing at his seat check.
1t is said that his badness was the
real cause of his starting out in search
OF gold, since he spent all his patri-
mony in the purchase of hair restor-
ers. and 1t was necessary for him to
do something, no matter how desperate,
to retrieve his fallen fortunes. Be that
as 1t may, he went to Alaska, and, af-
ter two years. residence there, has
returned modern Samson, as far as
ehevelure Is concerned, and he de-
clares that the transformation Is en-
tirely due to the rigors Of the climate
in that quarter of the globe.
THE Intense cold kills all germs and
microbes" he asserts. land stimu-
lates the scalp, and nature does the
rest" and he proudly exhibits his lion
like name as proof Of what nature can
DO, when she takes fancy, unassisted
by washes or oils or unguents.
P. j. Mcleod, who has spent twelve
years in Alaska and the northwest, al
though he has not the pleasure Of
knowing Mr.. Smith personally, and did
not. therefore, see the sprouting and
the bourgeoning Of his especial crop
OF modified epidermic cells, still cor
roborates his story as to the virtues OF
that frigld cline as hair producer.
My hair always was thick" he says,
so l cannot speak from personal ex-
perience, but the way dogs put on hair
up there is 4 caution. They get as
shaggy as Shetland ponies, and now
think Of 1t, l never saw a bald-headed
fellow anywhere around there. To
tell the truth, they all look, after they
have got to work, as though a razor
and pair OF scissors were far more
needed than hair restorer, and 1
think missionary barber wouf5 do
good work among them"

signs of Good and Bad weather.

A mint or two on weather prophecy.
When clouds are red in the west, the
red having purple tint, 1t is a sign Of
fine weather. The air when dry re-
tracts red or Matchmaking rays. and as
dry air Is not perfectly transparent
these are again reflected in the hori-
zon. An old proverb says:
A rainbow in the morning is the shep-

A rainbow occurs when the clouds
containing or deposting the rain are
opposite to the sun. In the evening
the rainbow is in the east. and in the
morning it is in the west. AS the
heavy rains in this climate are usually
brought by the westerly winds, rain

weather is on the road; whereas the
rainbow in the east proves the con-
trary.
