The ••Fier.dlah Hair-Pin.’•
When will women discover how to
dress their hair without hair-pins?
Hair pins, one understands from a
woman who has recently written a
book about women, are the chief ob
stacles to feminine independence.
“How truly fiendish a hair-pin can be
no mere man can ever know. When
it presses against the skull and pro
duces a local nerve-torture of an in
describably vicious nature, a man
might imagine that the easy thing
would be to pull it out. A woman
feels so tremendously at a disadvan
tage if her hair is untidy. She can
not even argue till it is neat again.”—
Argonaut.
A Strange Love Affair.
A touching romance in the life of
the late Bight Hon. Charles Pelham
Villiers, “Father” of the House of
Commons, has been disclosed by his
death. In early life he fell deeply in
love with a Miss Hellish, and his af
fection was returned as far as could be
done by a lady who for some reason
had taken a vow to lead a single life.
Mr. Villiers remained true to his first
love, and never married, and his con
stancy so touched Miss Hellish that in
her will she left all her fortune—a
considerable one—to him absolutely.
He, however, never touched the
money, leaving it to accumulate with
interest, while he lived very simply
on his own modest revenue, supple
mented by his Cabinet pension. By the
time of Mr. Villier’s death the capital
jriginally left by Miss Hellish had
own to a sum considerably over a
quarter of a million sterling. Of this
total^he, by his will, left $75,000 to
«ev. IMontague Villiers, Vicar of St.
™*«Pg JKnightsbridge, and a somewhat
* ,n dlar^Miin to Mr. Ernest Villiers.—

quite large; and, instead of the woman
being a mystery, I could always tell

bangles jingle on their wrists, and

~ Watches For Shirt Waists.
Everything seems to point to the
fact that the shirt-waist girl will be
greatly in evidence next summer. Not
only are the shops filled with madras,
percale, lawn, gingham, dotted swiss
and silk shirt waists of all shades,
designs and styles, but the art of the
jeweller is also called into requisition
to beautify these favorites of the up-
to-date tailor made girl.
Becognizisg the fact that the long
gold chains now in vogue are entire
ly out of place on the plain bosom of a
stylish shirt waist, and that the stick
ing in and pulling out of watches from
the snng leather, velvet, ribbon and
jewelled belts which are de riguer
now is not only very troublesome,
but eventually proves to be the de
struction of many dainty Geneva
timekeepers, the manufacturers set
their wits to work to devise something
which would do away with the long
neckchain and the inconvenience of
dragging a watch in and out of a tight
belt, with the happiest result imag
inable.
Examining the novelties made in
one of the leading jewelry stores, I
came across what seemed to be a
rather large sized shirt button. Close
inspection showed that it was a min-
aturo watch. Its face is no larger
than an ordinary enamelled shirt-
stud. At the back, connected by a
short shank, is snother button, very
much larger, in which the works of
t|}* watch are contained. The girl
H ho wears it has only to bend her
head down to find out the time.
■ These little watches come in many
■out designs, and range in price
$9.60 to $25 and $30.—New
Herald.
Fashion Notes.
Clasps for cloaks are being restored
to favor.
White broadtail is used for vests in*
cloth gowns.
A combination lately seen in Paris
is that of castor and violet. Black
and turquoise-blue is another favorite
combination in the French capital.
Chiffon embroidered in bowkuot fig
ures is especially dainty and pretty.
Tiny buttons of rhinestone set in sil
ver are worn on evening dresses of vel
vet.
Silver passementerie is a favoritt
material for belts and baud trimmings.
Some of the newest sash belts are of
black silk net, edged with a fringe of
jet.
Some new and beautiful evening
silks have tiny turquoise, pale green
and light rose-colored stripes on a
white ground, with baby rosebuds
scattered carelessly about.
Plush is making a vigorous bid for
favor again, and used in combination
with Venetian point lace, embroidered
with gold and silver thread, it makes
a very rich dress trimming.
Organdie-sublime is a lovely fabric
for summer wear. The color tones
are exceedingly soft and beautiful,
and the designs are quaint' and bi
zarre, and thorougly artistic.
Ombre effects will be seen in the
newest silks for next season'. In
Paris and Vienna these ombre styles
are already popular, and an especially
handsome quality of silk is shown.
Narrow fringes of silk, jet spangles
and beads are for wraps and edging
cross tucks ou blouses and skirts.
Deeper silk fringes will be sewn on
capes, flounces and as a basque to
blouses.
Silk-figured djalmatta is a lovely
fabric much like an East Indian weave.
It is fine and soft, of light weight and
suitable for late spring and summer
wear. It may bo had in seventy dif
ferent colorings.
Veiling tulles in the best taste are
in black and white. The most fash
ionable mesh is as tiny as’possible.
A double veil of Mechlin tulle, in pure
white, is shown in Paris. Over the
white tulle an almost invisible mesh
of black is worn, showing small dots
of chenille.
"Cat Shako*,’* Not Cake-Walk*. Now.
Cake-walks are now out of date, if
the latest news is to be trusted, as
“Cat Shakes” will supersede them in
popularity and wild hilarity. The
first one was held at a Baptist Church
in Jeffersonville, Ind., for the pur
pose of raising the debt, and im
mediately caught ou, although there
was some difficulty in catching the
cat. The director of the shake was a
minister, who stood in the pulpit with
a gunnybag in which was a large,
able-bodied black cat. First he shook
the bag vigorously to arouse the ire
of the cat and limber him up, and then
to the music of “Mr. Johnson, Turn
Me Loose,” he turned the oat loose
into the audience, who immediately
joined in a frantio though zealous cat
hunt. A football rush would have
been child’s play compared to the
scrimmage which ensued, and every
thing was in order, there being no
penalties for foul tackling or holding
on the line. The one who catches the
cat gets fifty cents reward. Now, in
stead of champion cake-walkers we
shall doubtless have champion cat-
catchers unless the S. P. C. A. steps
in and interferes, for while this
amusement many bo fun for the people
who join in the chase it is not ex
tremely joyful for the cat.—Boston
Traveler.
Some Common Mistake*.
It is a mistake to work when you
are not in a fit condition to do so; to
takelofjf heavy underclothing because
you have become overheated; to think
that the more a person eats the health
ier and stronger he will become; to
believe that children can do as much
work as grown people, and the more
they study the more they learn; to go
to bed late at night aud rise at day
break and imagine that every hour
taken from sleep is an hour gained; to
imagine that if a little work or exer
cise is &ood, violent or prolonged ex
ercise is better; to conclude that the
smallest room in the house is large
enough to sleep in.
Sleep, Nature’* Medicine.
Menander said that all diseases were
curable by sleep—a broad statement,
in which, nevertheless, there may be
something that is trne, for good sleep*
ers are ever, as I think, thq most cura
ble patients, aud I would always rather
hear a sick person had slept than had
taken regularly the prescribed medi
cine during sleeping hours.—Sir Ben
jamin Bichar dson. _ ,
OLDEST RAILWAY MAN.
He la a Character and Poeeeasee a
■Wonderful Memory.
The oldest railway man in New Ko-
gland if not In the country is Water
man Brown, who, though 80 years old.
is still employed at Woburn, Mass., as
gate tender, having been employed by
the Lowell road sixty-six years, lie
lost an arm in an accident while firing
on the road in 1850. He is eoreutric
and is so renowned as a collector of
curiosities that people all over Now
England send him presents of queer
things. Among the curiosities he has
Is a bit of the first ran laid on the Low
ell road in 1834. He has a model of
the Stephenson, the first locomotive,
land he owns the first engine bell ever
toade. He has 400 circus tickets in a
trunk. They were given to him in the
last thirty years and he never used
them.
It was only a few weeks ago that
Mr. Brown received a small box con
taining a solid silver elephant, ar
ranged with a pin to fasten It to his
lapel. In the box was a note, unmis
takably written by a woman.
He was told the other day that there
Iwould be an assistant to help him soon
and that then whoever was in charge
must be there every minute right at
the gate. “Railroading is getting too
kilce for me,” he said. “I have to be
bere from 5 in the morning to 11 at
night and Sundays. I can eat my din
ner in just seven minutes. I have my
cap right by the chair where I can get
it and the house is right over there
side of the track.”
1 His memory, especially concerning
the history of the road, is wonderful.
He said:
“I guess people don’t know that the
Boston and Lowell railroad was built
more to carry freight than for passen
gers. You see it was this way: In
1834, I guess it was, two men were
driving around in a buggy. They were
looking over the ground with an idea
to build a fifty-foot macadam road
from Boston to Lowell, to team cotton
over. The old canal wouldn’t accom
modate all of It even then. Well, just
about that time they got wind of the
engine Stephenson had mads and they
turned to that Instead of their mac
adam road. But I ran the first gravel
train, yes (laughing), you can say that
I ran the first gravel train on the road
with oxen.”—Chicago Chronicle.
Women and th* Wheel.
From Ifit Gazette, Delaware, Ohio.
Tlis healthfulncsa ot blcycls riding fsr
women is stiil » disputed question between
eminent physicians and health reformers.
Used in moderation it su.-ely creates for
women a means of out-door exercise, the
benefit of which all physicians concede.
Ustdto excess, like any other pastime, Us
effect is likely to be dangerous.
The experience of Miss Bertha Reed, the
Seventeen-year-old daughter of Mr. J. R.
Reed, 335 Lake 8t., Delaware, Ohio, may
point a moral for parents who, like Mr. and
Mrs. Reed, have experienced some concern
for their daughters who are fond of wheel
ing. In the fall of '96 Miss Bertha who had
ridden a great deal, began to fail in au
alaVming manner. She grew steadily paler
and thinner, and it appeared she was going
Into consumption. Rest and quiet did her

cian found her
pulse at 104 —a
very high rate.
Thinking this
may have been
due to tempo
rary nervous-
uess when he
She Ride, WrlL fx«>nined her,

was satisfied then, from her high
pulse and steadily wasting condition that
she was suffering from ausemia or a blood
less condition of the body. She became ex
tremely weak, and could not stand the
least noise or excitement. In this condition
of affairs they were recommended by an
old friend to get some of that famous blood
medicine Dr. Williams’ Dink Pills for Palo
People. They did so, and almost from the
first dose Bertha began to improve. She
continued to take the pills and was by
means of those pills made entirely well,
and more grateful people than her parents
cannot bn found inthe whole State of Ohio.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills have proved a
boon to womankind. Acting directly ou
the blood and nerves, they restore the req
uisite vitality to all parts of the body;
creating functional regularity and perfect
harmony throughout the nervous system.
The pallor of the cheeks is changed to the
delicate blush of health; the eyes brighten;
the muscles grow elastic, ambition is
created and good health returns.

A writer in the Southern Progress, of Phil
adelphia, commenting upon the services of
the Old Bay Line, says: I confess I find no
little pleasure in taking the trip from Balti
more to Norfolk on one of the steamers ofthe
Old Bay Line. Few transportation compan
ies in this country have so lavorable a bold
on a fault-flndimr public as this corporation
of the Chesapeake. The accommodations,
the conveniences and the management of the
steamers meet a cordial recognition from a
pnbile—too often entertained as cattle rather
than human beings—alwaysglad to receive a
little more than they pay for. Ills not ea>y
to form an exact estimate of the number of
passengers carried yearly by the Old Bay
Line steamers, but I have been informed that
it reaches nearly half a million. I think that
fact is a hettei recommendation than any 1
could possibly write of the Old Bay Line.
