Hurry.

To our own age belongs the credit of having raised hurry from the degraded position of a disease to that of a com mercial process. Formerly hurry sim ply brought people to an early grave. with nothing to show for it, whereas now 1t is become the means of trans forming peace of mind, which is a sole cism, to say the best of It, into ready money. Hurry has grown to be great fact In life. Even the fashions take account of 1t until women are found doing up their hair in such way that they may go the speed limit without fear of it's coming down. And the best of hurry is that 1t Is its own sufficient justification. Nobody expects hurry to have any particular reason behind 1t any more.-R. B. in New York Life.

Puxzle of the Hour.

An Ohio woman had a trying ex- perienee the other day. She had been in the habit of going to the hair dressers every little while to have her hair looked after-iust as many wom- an does who goes to hairdresser- but one day she decided that she might as well shampoo her own hair and save that much.
 She allowed her great mass of hair to fall down into the stationary washbowl while she broke an egg strictly fresh-oyer her croHn-no, the egg was all right-and her personally conducted shampoo promised to be a great success. But when she went to gather up her oyerhanging locks from the hot water she made discovery. The hot water in which part of her hair was immersed had caused the egg to harden right there in her hair, and they do say she had her troubles get ting it all removed.
 And now she's wondering over this technical point-whether the egg was boiled or poached or scrambled, or merely fried in hair oil. The question would puzzle most anyone.

 Captain John W. Russell. of Bristol, Rhode Island, a seaman of the eigh- teenth century, was described by con- temporary as "a man who was as brave as he was gentle: a man who loved his friends and did his duty in life faithfully" In The Romance of an Old-Time Sbipmaster,' edited by Ralph D. Paine. there are many evil dences of Captain Russelrs wisdom. In his journal be records the following de cision and memorandum to guard against caFelessness
 Having mentioned our frequent in- effectual attempts 10 take Fish, and knowing that my own carelessness was the cause of that failure, having felt the effects of that Careless Inattention in several instances already since I left home, I have thought best to make a memorandum of such things as now escaped my memory that l may pro- vide for the deficiency when prepar- ing for any future voyage, thereby making the best use of present mis- conduct, by holding it up as beacon, and a warning to avoid the like ln time to come.
 MEMORANDUM FOR CAPT. RUSSELL
 Never leave Home for sea, at any season, but especially at the first Of April, without taking woolen mittens with you, as you severely felt the want of them this time.
 Never leave three hats in the Hat ter's shop and one in the Garret and go to sea with only the one on your head, lest, as in the present case, by losing that one, you should be reduced to a silk handkerchief turban.
 Never leave your fishing lines in the Garret to hang clothes on, and go to sea without any, lest when the fish come round, and you have nothing to catch them with, you should fret more than they are worth.
 Never leave Gim.aets and other such tools at home, the want of them al sea is often more than ten times their value
 This Memm. will doubtless be en- larged in the course of the voyage.
