Persian Ladies at the I!ath.
Tho bath takes up a good deal of tho time
of all Persian women. Even, tho poorest v. ill
attend the hamm.-in at lonst inico a wee'.;.
For the lady the bath is 0110 of tho serious
affairs of lifo and takes up daily from two to
four hours of her time. It is something more
than our i.leaot a hath. Tin; victim is scraped
and rubbed and parboiled. Tim solts of the
f eot aro pumiced until they aro as soft and
tender as thoso of a little child. Tho hair is
thoroughly washed by means of hot water
and tho saioiiaeeous clay for which Shiraz is
celebrated. Then tho attendants mix in a
brazen bowl tho nroniritk henna with th.?
requisite amount of lemon juice, till a brown
pas to of tho consistency of gruel is produced,
and several hundfulsof tho repulsivo looking
compound are smeared over tho lady's head.
Then tho hair, collected into a mass, is bound
up in cablwgo leaves. Small quantities of the
dyo aro smeared over tho eyebrows; the solos
of t iip feet, the toes, tho palm of tho hand;:
and tho finger tips ar also covered with it.
And now tho lady has to sit j-rfoctly stil! for
from 0110 to threo hours, till, Ii!:o a meer

A Tlmndcrslrnclt Huntsman.
Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia, had a

purpose. It was not long lefore his dogs struck
a trade and s.xm treed. Tho hut.ter, having

It. Ho had not given moro than ono or two
cuts, whei, to his consternation, ho heard a
voice from above, saying: "If yoa won't
lot the dogs M to mo 111 como down and help
you cut the tree down." Thunderstruck and
amazed, tho huntsman dropied his as, and
made double quick time for homo. It turned
out in the sequel that another negro, a runa
way, hearing tho dogs, took to a tree, and
the 'possum was treed in, another nboufc ten
foot off; tho runaway, seeing no other person
but tho hunter como up, volnnt;t'red his

Largo Vessels Ictfor than Small Oiicb.
Tho tendency to iiiscontimio the building
and use of small vessels for ocean transpcirta
tion, and the inability f such vessels to com
pt towiMi vesk is of larger tonnage, is shown
by the statement that whil. a stennier of
from 2o or VA'-O tons requires one sailor for
every 10. S tois. a steamer of from S00 to 1,000
tons requires bi't ono sailor for every 41.5
tons. In like manner, while a sailing vessel
of from 1200 to tons requires ono sailor for
every 2S.II tons, a sailing vessel of live times
the size, or from l,tM)t) l,t00 tons, requires
but ono sailor for every (0.:J tons. And as it
is also claimed that other economies in tho
construction of tho hull or tho rigging, and in
repairing, are concurrent with the reduction
of crews, it is not difficult to understand why
H is that largo vessels are enabled to earn n
percentage of profit with rates of freight
which, in tho caso of small vessels, would in
evitably entail losses. Popular Science

"Paul and Virginia," a publication that do

for gilt edged leaves at tho top of tho volume,
while at tho si lo and bottom they are left

works proves that it is oa!y a revival. Theso

to the hook trade, but classud wiLli books in

expect to find the importation of Germun

Americans will always bo struck by tho
peculiarities of English boks liound in cloth.
The loaves ro rarely if ever cut, and the
backs aro attached to the volume only at the

for tho workmanship is pretty firm, and it is
quito possible that its fragile appearance is a

What is the cause of t Iii:: early loss of hair?
It is not due to l!i hats or caps wo wear, not
to (lie clipping of tho hair close, not to living
i:i hot, rooms; it. is not i-ii' U tlio forms of
foods wo consume, I nil., in our view, it, is
largely duo to modern methods of treat nent
f 1 hair and sculp. Tho erroneous view
pr. :!.-; that, the skin which holds tho hair
.,l!iele.; and tho delicate secretory organs of
I'm scalp must bo kept as "clean," so to
.-pi a!:, as tho face or hands; consequently
; o!ng nu n patronize barbers or hairdressers,

I his consists of n thorough scouring of tho

this, and no 1110 i3 moro common.
Tho practico of frequently washing tho
h; ad in warm or cold water nt homo with or
without tho adjuncts of soap, alcohol, am
monia or perfumery is deleterious nml pro
motive of early loss of tho hair. Men 1 J
active indoor business clerks, bankers, shop

head. Many do this night and morning, un
der the fnlso notion that it is noeoss.ary to

nature's hair oil.
The waxy secretion which li poured out
from tho glandular organs which aro found
in connection with tho follicles of tho hair
is nature's product, nnd is designed to pro
servo and protect tho wonderful and lieautiful
head covering. If wo persist in removing it
altogether wo must march with tho bald pates
beforo the frosts of age como along to change
its color. Woman do not shampoo or wash
the hair as often as tho other sex, and oonse
quently they nro in a large degree exempt
from baldness in middle life. It is true, how
ever, that many women in cities mnko fre
quent visits to tho hairdressers, and subject
their tresses to tho "scouring" process. If this
becomes common, it will not be long beforo
baldness will overtake tho young mothers as

hastened when children even will have 110
hair to destroy with ammonia or other caustic

Tl.. ndvice wo havo to offer to tho young
nu n and maidens is, let 3-our hair alone; keep
at n safo distance from hairdressing rooms
and drug shops, where aro sold oils, alkaline
substances, alcoholic mixtures, etc., for uso
upon tho hair. They are ail pernicious, and
will do you harm. Tho hend nnd hair may
ho washed occasionally with soft, tepid water,
without soap of any kind. As n rule, tho
only appliances needed in the care of the hair
aro good combs nnd brushes; and they should
not be used harshly, so ns to wound tho -:calp.
Avoid all "electric" and wiro made brushes.
No electricity can bo stored in a hair brush;
if it could be, it is not needed. The hair is 11

The True Method of Killing.
Again, tho riding iu tho show is having .1
material inlhienco upon tho British army.
Tho oliioors of most of tho regiments have
sent the men up hero to watch us ride. "P-y
tho way," I asked, "Mr. Cody, do you not.
think that tho Rritish havo tho true method
of riding ut a trot when they raise them
selves iu tho stirrups?"
Miss Cody, who had dropped in for a mo
ment, said: "I do not think it is tho proper
method of riding nt all. They could not keep
ic up on tho plains, riding nil day long, ns
father has ridden, a hundred miles in a day.
It is too much work."
"I do not see," said Buffalo Bill, "why n
man should give himself so much pains when
ho rides. Tho true method of riding is to
make your iMxly llexiblo with tho motion of
tho horse, and not to invent a movement of
your own. I ride from tho kneo ami the end
of the thigh. Their way of putting tho foot
through tho stirrup would never do with us;
it is dangerous. Tho foot ought to touch tho
stirrup, and the man ought to hold his knees
close to the animal and sway his body with
tho movement of tho horso."
Hero Jack Rurko spoke up, saying: "Sir
Garnet Wolseley asked mo after tho show
was over how many such riders wo had on
tho plains. I told him I had no statistics at
hand, but I thought I would answer him in

said I thought wo had about a million such

TIPPING TIIE WAITER.
THERE IS DANGER, SOMETIMES, OF
OVERDOING THE MATTER.
A Fast Young Man'a Liberality Tho Aver

front LitillcH.
A very fashionably drssod man, alightly
intoxicated, went Into the dining room of a
first class hotel in New York the other veil
ing, nnd asked for an oxjioii'iivo dinner , 11
quart of champagne included. The young
man with nn Hprou who took his order was
all attention, and a dozen other young men
with nprons Mood nt their vacant tables mid
smiled enviously. That their envy was well
founded was shown when the diner paid his
bill. It amounted to ti.7H, and after nyin
tho amount ho held the silver quarter of
change stupidly in his hand a moment, evi
dently Wondering if that would l enough to
fii tho waiter; then ho thrust it ia his pocket,
took a bill from his purse, laid it unsteadily
in th waiter's ready hand, and walked away
with tho proud oonseiousin-ss of having been
excii'oiiml y liiieral. The head waiter, n dis
tinguished looking man w ith mil l blue eyes
und a long, blonde mustache, smiled com
placently nt th" episode, and turning to the
writer, said:
"That customer did not. know that twenty
fivo cents would have served his purposo just
as well, and that half n dollar would have
lieon the extreme of generosity."
"Is twenty five cents I ho nvomgo tip to
waiters?-'
"No," nnswered tho head waiter doubtfully ;
"I don't think it is. It would Ih less than
that, though there aro men w ho make 11 oint
of always giving half a dollar. The great,
majority of men make tho fen ten cents, and
whero three or four como together they fre
quently chip in live coats npieoo for tho
wait:r. Few customers neglect tho tip en
tirely, hut somo of them let, it go for 11 few
days and then give a fee of lifty cents. They
nro tho men who really get. tho lx'st service,
for, although at tho end of the week they
will havo paid less than ten cents on tho
average for their dinner foes, tho waiter who
gets thw silver may havo servd the customer
but onco during that time. Tho effect of
that plan is to mnko every waiter liojxi by
special attention to induce the customer to
pay a tip on that particular occasion when
lie serves.
ACCORDING TO SCHEDULE.
"I know a man who varies tho amount of
his tip ucoordiiig to a niailiein::tical schedule.
He pays tho waiter 10 per cent, of the bill
except when tho bill is less than $1 or more
than 5. Iu tho first caso ho tips ton cents,
and never goes above half a dollar. The
waiters' regular wages hero nro n month
and meals, and with decent luck and care nny
ono of them is enabled to double his iucomi
by fees."
"Does the head waiter como in for fcoi
also?"
"Yes, indeed, and mighty good ones, too.
Men who find it ngreeublo to tip tho head
waiter seldom give him less than $1. His
richest opportunity lies in u private dinner
party. Thoso who dine iu a separate room
imagino that they get better attention than
tho people in tho main dining room, and they
fee tho waiter accordingly."
"Do ladies tip tho waiters?"
"Well, now, it seems hardly gallant to sny
so, but few waiters liko to servo a lady who
dines alone, or two of them together. A
waiter thinks himself lucky to get a dime
from a lady, nnd if there nro two of them,
tho dimo answers for both, if, indeed, they
give any fee at nil. In the up town hotels
und restaurants in tho shopping district it
may bo that half tho lady customers givo n
tip. Now and then one appears who loaves a
quarter 011 the plate just liko a man, but,
alas! they aro very rare. Wo havo ono cus

takos much pride in her capacity for bar
gaining. When she comes in she selects a
tablo with great deliberation, choosing ac
cording to tho impression tho waiters make
upon hor. Then she says to the waiter who
comes to tako her order: 'Now what is your
name, my man? And suppose lie answers
'Perkins, madam,' sho continues: 'Well, Per
kins, I want you to servo mo in t ip top shaje;
tip top, understand? Hero,' and she slips a
silver quarter under her glass; 'see that?
that's yours if you servo me tip top.' Then
-:he looks at him sharply and proceeds to give
her order. You may depend upon it she gets
served well, but if anything goes amiss that
quarter goes back into her pocket." F. It.

ISarlal in A nam.
When any 0110 of their muulier dies, friends
and neighbors hasten to tho mountains, hew
down a tree, hollow it out, and, after having
washed and dressed tho body, put sugar cane
into its mouth and invoked tho shades of th
lead, place it in this rude coffin, open the
eyes so as to look heavenward, and then care
fully soar it up. On the day of burial sacri
'ices arc indulged in, according to the means
of the relatives of tlio deceased. The grave
is usually mado in a forest, and tho hewing
of trees therein is superstitiously avoided. A
soothsayer, or priest, plants two roods at the
lirder of a stream in such a manner thut the
parents of the dead can pass underneath;
while doing this he sprinkles water upon them
which had been used to clean rico. After
washing their clothes and cutting their huir,
they enter tho house, and, in order to show
tho depth of their sorrow, throw everything
about tho house into confusion. The priest
arriving, he reproaches them, restores order,
und spi inkles a kind of holy water in order
to drive out tho evil spirits. Popular Science

Japanese Toothpicks in New Torfc.
A well known New York firm recently
tried tho experiment of importing 70,000
toothpicks from Yokohama. Thoso "cure
dents," as they are described in tho invoice,
comoiu natty littlo boxes conkiiiiii 1,000
each, in bundles tied round with green silk.
They nre cut from hard wood nnd have a
point at only ono end. As a matter of prac
tical economy they could not compete with
the double pointed domestic article iu yellow
piue.
Tho Japanese orticlo costs thirty-five Mexi
can cents per 1,000. To this is added 35 jier
cent, duty on manufactures of wood. Then,
above that, tho appraiser has advanced them
125 per cent, which carries a penalty of
double tho value. Added to these imposts
are tho charges, which come to more than
the value of tho goods, bringing the cost of
the Japs to aliout SI. 75 ier 1,000. The do
mestic article costs a few cents per 1,000, and
restaurateurs, of course, prefer them. New
York Evening Sun.
A Charge Against the Nobility.
Tho London Truth brings a black charge
against the noble dukes. It says that in theso
degenerate days they have taken to selling
tho game they shoot on their moors. Ac
cording to the observation of its gossip iiino
tenths of the hampers at a railroad station,
where much of this game is delivered, were
directed to dealers. It 6hould add to tho
market price of grouse to know they were
killed by tho nobility. New York Com
