WORDS OF WISDOM.

"A precedent embalms principle.
Learning make a man fit company
for himself.
Ii is much easier to be critical than
to lie correct.
The cornerstone of education is laid
on the tombstone of ignorance.
He takes the great ornament from
friendship who takes modesty from it.
Such is the constitution of man that
labor may be said to be its own re-
ward.
In the garden of humanity the weed
too often takes prominence of the
flower. --
Better skin carcass for pay in the
public streets than be idly dependent
on charity.
Make yourself an honest man, and
then you may be sure that there is enc
less rascal in the world.
Young men of ability who are not
afraid to work hard for success will
ind ne serious obstacle IN their path
to-day.
Never judge by appearance. A
shabby coat may cover millionaire,
while a stylish and good-fitting one
may make thief look respectable.
The only way to make the mass Of
mankind see the beauty Of justice is
by showing them, in pretty plain
terms, the consequence Of injustice.
What a blessing is friend who can
relieve thy cares by his conversation.
thy doubts by his counsels. thy sad
ness by his good humor, and whose
very look gives comfort to thee.

THE STYLES OF HAIR DRESSING.

THE STYLES OF HAIR DRESSING.
1t is reported by some foreign au-
thority on fashions that dyeing the
hair is entirely out Of style, dark, nat
ural tints being the mode once again
Change in the way Of doing the hair
Is one Of the great secrets Of success
in dress, providing the style is always
In harmony with the shape Of the head
and contour Of the face. There is an
evident effort to lower the chignon to
the nap of the neck, but this mode
is not readily accepted by all women,
80 for the present the hair is arranged
high on the head for evening dress,
and little below the crown for or
dinary wear
Many young girls adopt-th low style
Of hair dressing, which is very pretty
with the new gypsy hat. Another
point in fashionable hair dressing is
bringing the locks well down on the
forehead, either parted at one side or
in soft pompadour falling over the
ears.
The decorations are the varying
point in hair dressing for evening, and
anything between diadem diamond
combs and simple rose seems to be
permissible. Diamond pins in circles,
crescents and oblong shapes are worn
at the back with a comb above and
side combs and an ornamental bow in
addition. In fact, this craze for deco
ration is so often overdone that the
later fancy for one or two roses is q
pretty relief from the barbaric ten
denotes of the day. The new gold
roses are charming in the dark hair,
and some of the colors are quite as
beautiful. =

A Boom For Good Roads.


William H. Moore, the President Of
the Good Roads Department OF the
National Good Roads and Irrigation
Congress. recently visited Washington,
where he went as the Chairman OF 4
committee to obtain Federal action in
behalf of good roads. Mr.. Moore said
that the committee had been success
ful in its mission. which was to obtain
an application for IN appropriation of
S15O.Oo0 or the office OF road inquiry
in the Department Of Agriculture. The
object of the office is to educate the
farmers so that they will recognize the
necessity Of good roads. Last year
its appropriation was only $4,000.
The committee called On Secretary
Wilson and presented its plan, which
IS that the Department shall construct
a mile of model road in every State
in the Union. Mr.. Wilson indorsad
the project Immediately and made the
necessary recommendation for the APP
preparation in his report. The CONF
mittee also called on the President,
who showed lively interest in the
plan and said that it had his hearty
approval. Mr.. Moore is convinced that
the Presidents influence will be used
to bring about the appropriation. Mr..
Moore has already obtained the in
dorsement OF more than two hundred
Senators and CongreSSner for the ap-
preparation.
The plan advocated by the Congress
at which Representatives of thirty.
eight States were present. is that
quarter mile Of model road shall lie
built by the Federal Government in
four parts OF each State. At the saule
time the thirty-fve State Legislatures
that meet next year will be asked to
adopt good roads legislation, and Mr.
Moore is drafting three bills to submit
to them. He intends to appoint 1
Representative of the Congress 10
every county in the nation who shall
have power to appoint township repre-
sentatives, so that there will be a
thoroughly organized good roads srmy
at work all the time. Mr.. Moore has
convinced Senator Platt and Senator
Depew of the propriety of the plaa-
He has letter from Stuyvesant Fish,
President of the Illinois Central Rall-
road, in which Mr.. Fish says:
81 do not know much about irriga-
ton, but I do know that the absence
OF good roads is costing the people Of
this country annually about as much
money as they pay for all the freight
transported by all the railroads."

FLOWER PICKERS OF GRASSE

The peasant women and girls OF
GraSSe. in the south OF France. arc
kept employed in picking and sorting
flowers for perfume, Grasss being tho
centre Of that industry. Violet gather
ing begins in March: jessamine. orange
blossom, rose and tuberose in May:
the mignonette in August, and the
cassia in September. The work of
picking is done between 5 and II
o'clock in the morning. the remainder
of the day being spent in sorting and
picking apart the flowers. The per-
fume making begins with spreading
the petals upon layers Of pure lard
that covers plates Of glass, and the
flower layers are renewed three CT
four times before the fat has become
thoroughly saturated with the per
fume. This percu:aed lard is the
''pomade" Of commerce, out Of which
are made extracts and fine pomades.

The Little Brokers Marvellous Tale of
Human Honesty.

>
Human Honesty.
Somebody in a group back of the
Cotton. Exchange told a story about
the miraculous recovery OF a lost
watch. and that. of course. set the ball
rolling. AS usual in such cases. the
next man capped the incident by still
more astonishing experience. anl
finally it was 'passed up to quiet
little future broker, who had been lis
tenins without comment. Il never
had but one adventure Of that kind in
my life" he said modestly. land I'm
afraid it's hardly worth telling. 1t
happened in this way: One afternoon
last spring I went down to the post
office to register a letter. and. before
going to the window, l stopped at the
public writing desk to put the address
on the envelope. I had big fat roll
of bills in my hand at the time and
laid them down on the ledge, beside
the ink we'll. I don't recall the exact
sum they represented. but it was
large-up into the thousands. I was
in a great hurry and very much preoc
cupied over another matter. and when
I finished the address I rushed of to
the registry alcove, forgetting all about
the wad on the desk. After that
everything seemed to conspire to di-
vert my mind As I was leaving the
building bumped into our nurse girl.
who was hunting for me frantically
with a message that the baby had the
Group and would please send the doc
tor at once. I found him, finally, and
then met ny partner. who had trans
fer to be signed Immediately before 4
notary. To make a long story short.
fully two hours had elapsed before I
suddenly remembered about the roll
Of bills. It flashed through my mind
like a shot. and at the next instant
had whiried around and was sprinting
for the postoAice like a madman. OF
course, had 10 hope Of finding any.
thing more than clue. and when l
tore up to the desk and saw the roll
lying almost exactly where had left
it 1 could hardly believe my eyes. I
grabbed it and counted the bills. Not
one was missing. That. gentlemen.
occurred in broad daylight. at the
busiest part of the afternoon. and in
place where hundreds Of people were
continually passing to and fro. 1 will
leave it to you whether the incident
was not somewhat remarkable"
"Was the wad in plain sight?" asked
one of the listeners, after a pause.
Eyes. SIR" :eplied the little broker.
"and 1 afterward learned that it had
been picked up and examined by
number OF different people" "Very
strange" remarked a rice man, ironi-
cally; "the bills were genuine. I sup
pose." "Certainly." replied the little
man, but 1 forgot to mention that
they were unreceipted."-New Orleans

Baggage Rules in Greece.

Consul Mckinley reports to the State
Department from Athens: "The Greek
health authorities require that all
trunks, packages, etc, the personal
baggage Of travellers, when unaccom-
panied by their owners, must, on ar
rival at any port in Greece, be accom-
panied by a certificate of origin or a
certificate from the health authorities
of the port from which the baggage
was shipped to Greece. AS ignorance
of the foregoing rule has caused many
American travellers delay and trouble
in regaining possession Of such bag
gage, and as thousands Of Americans
annually visit Athens and others parts
of Greece, this information should be
published widely in order that they
may come prepared with the necessary
certificates to release their baggage
without deIay.-The Express Gazette.

The PICTURESQUE Tartar.

The Tartar travels with his family
and his followers. Wives riding strad-
dle-legged and children in baskets are
mounted on camel-back. and only the
actual leaders so afoot, with the long
string of their charges following in
single file, tied together in line.
Warmly clad in heavy, wadded under
clothes, topped by enormous sheep
skins; their heads covered with long
cared fur caps. in addition to which
they put on fur earbags, and on their
legs "Mongol socks'-that Is. soft,
high boots of sheepskin, under felt
oyershoes, thicltly studded with iron
nsils-these people look to the l;fe the
Tartar of the children's book Of types.
The Tartar differs considerably from
the Chinaman, or even from his klns-
man, the Manchu, in the ruddy yellow
Of his face and the pleasant .frankness
of his glance. He seems to favor bright
eolors, and on the top of his fur hood
he often sticks the gold-buttoned cap
of Chinese official rank, while his wo-
mems jackets are of yellow and scar
let, as well as of Chinese blue.-Lon.

A National Organization.

s"The number Of States interested in
the Interstate Good Roads Association

the time has come to make it nation

Director of Public Road Inquiries ut
Washington. About thirty States in
the Union already have been organ

"In 1893 Congress appropriated So
900 to enable the Secretary Of Agricul-
ture to carry on the work of gathering
and disseminating information as to
the construction and maintenance Of
public roads. Appropriations Of $4,000
for the same purpose were renewed
annually afterward until that year,
when it was increased to $4,000.
"a further increase will be sought,
and it is my intention to enlarge the
work by adding to the Hdactic method
of teaching the object lesson method,
whereby object lesson roads shall be
built in every State as rapidly as pos

THE AMERICAN GIRLS ATTRAC-

The Duke Of Manchester, who prac-

eisn noblemcn marry American girls
because they are beautiful, witty.
graceful. high-bred. original, innocent,
audacious, intellectual and practical.
That is to say, because they are the
sum Of all the virtues. But isn't it
odd that practically gil Of the girls
sought by these foreign gentry are
rich? There are dead loads of
American girls who have all the quail
ties enumerated by the big duke, and
yet do not contract foreign alliances.
With few exceptions. foreign noblemen
are attracted only to rich American
girls. OF course, 1t may be only a
coincidence. but it suggests all sorts
of idle speculations.-St. Louis Post.
