Say, my dear, shouldn’t you think that little Island would bo afraid over there alone by itself?’’ “It’s safer there than it would bo ashore,” muttered Mr. Spoopcndykc, dropping a highly wrought bead bag in his effort to jam a pair of moccasins, that weren’t mates, into his pockot. “If that island is any way hard up and half smart, it’ll stay whore it is, and hold on to what it’s got! I say, what’ro von going to do with these shoes if you over get ’em home?” ho continued, as tho larger one hitched up and dropped to tho ground. "Don’t lose it!” exclaimed Mrs. Spoopcndykc, anxiously. "I am going to hang them up in tho parlor.” “If tho man who sold them was any way reasonable in his charges, I’d like to hire him to get into ’em about tho time tho hanging comes off!” growled Mr. Spoopcndykc. “Look here! Have you any fixed idea of tho distance you expect mo to lug this old shinney stick? Got any accurate notion of the labor involved in hauling the dod gasted thirtg aioonu?'”' “That’s an Indian war club,” protest ed Mrs. Spoopcndykc. “I want that, and you mustn’t lose it for anything.” “From my exj^ricncc around hero I don’t s’pose I could lose it for noth ing!” grunted Mr. Spoopcndykc. “But what Fwant to know,” ho continued, settling one end of the club in his hip pocket, and trying to conceal the other under his coat. “What I want to know is, when tho measly tiling is calculated t6 go on a peace footing.

Isn’t that awful fall of terrible water just too lovely? What makes it fall down like that?” “I don’t know,” retorted Mr. Spoop- ondyko, eyeing tho scene with a scowl, and dropping an arm full of stereoscop ic views. “I suppose il falls like that because it can’t run up. If you could got into tho confidence of tho thing, I presume it would refer you to tbo theory of gravitation, and that would turn you over to tho doctrine of press ure. By that time wo wouldn't have money to get home with. Say, do you really think you’re going to need this gun boat for anything to which you can give a definite description?” “Oh, my little canoe!” cried Mrs. Spoopcndykc. “I’m going to hang that on the chandelier with pretty rib bons.” \> “That'll provide a good deal of en tertainment!” snorted Mr. Spoopon- dyke, hunching tha canoe into nis arm pit so as to get a bettor grip on tho keel. “But my judgment is that this self-acting chunk of aboriginal trans portation is going to need Bessemer steel chains to hold it. I can under stand how a savago could*sail in tho thing, but what I want now is tho com bination by which ho stopped it when ho got ready to—Hold on!

Now just run ’em through my suspen ders behind, and tie that war bonnet aronnd my neck!” “What’s that in yoor mouth, dear?” inquired Mrs. Spoopcndykc, solicit ously. “A flint arrow head,” growled Mr. 4poopendykc, vindictively. “And it’ll take a dentist to get it oat!

There are three women on the Now York stage to-day who are rapidly be coming professional beauties. Sadie Martiuot, who is now playing a comedy part in tho Union Square theatre, is a particularly handsome woman. The dealers say that her photographs aro selling more rapidly and numerously khan those of any other two aotrossos In America combined. Next to Miss Martinot comes Pauline Hall, and after la State*, taka* " I. Elliott, pmoxt of have bull up the c, estimates ^ at a adlUo: boxes wheels n that it is 1 tricycle.

All of them are ed in the curly haired. It is tho flat ness of tho hair that makes it curl. Women have coarser hair than men. The average number of hairs on tho head is about 120,000. This calCTlifltkra omanded her hus- I ill .ii is based upon tho ascertained fact that a square inch of the head of a person who has an average head of hair con- | <Jmj entirely to beauty tains by actual count, one thousand' • T hairs, approximately.

Women frequently suffer from “iT gradual falling out or thinning of tho hair between tho ages of 20 and 80. Tho hair has a dry, withered look, and tho partings become painfully visible. Tho young lady who is thus troubled usually becomes alarmed, and after trying every “hair restorer" sho sees advertised, has her head shaved, with ' tho idea that this last heroic measure is sure to save her from tho baldness sho j fears. Tho fact is that tho difficulty Vises from some definite cause, which, I once ascertained, must bo attacked bo- I fore tho trouble can bo cured. This cause may lie in tho condition of tho | scalp itself, or it may dcpfcnd upon some disturbed action of some internal organ. Dyspepsia is a frequent cause of tho loiui ox hair. TliW blood may bo out of order, or tho tronhlo may bo re ferred to debility. These arc tho deep- seated causes of tho falling out of the hair, and must bo attended to before a cure can tako place. If there is a scurfiness present treat ment must begin with tepid water and castilo soap. After two weeks tho fol lowing solution should be rubbed in gently with a soft tooth-brush, morning and evening: Strong dococtioh ol Peru vian bark, one half pint;' brandy, one wineglassful; glycerine, one tcaspoon- ful. Once every other day—not often- er—the following lotion should bo ap plied in a similar manner: Castor ou, one ounce; best French brandy, two ounces; rosewater, six ounces. People generally—those who have a I healthy growth of hair—do not pay i much attention to the care of tho hair ) and tho scalp. Tho head should bo ; given a thorough washing once a week; tho scalp cannot bo healthy unless it is j kept clean. After tho head is washed, the soap should bo thoroughly removed I With pure water. Tho best hair-wash | is: Borax powder, a toaspoonful; soft water, a quart; oil of lavender, suffl- ■ clout to scent There is a precept in hair-dressing which can not be too widely known. It is this: Wash the scalp, but not the hair; comb tho hair, but not tho scalp. Iu curling the hair care should be taken that it is not wound too tight in ‘Or, since that j eurl-papors or about the curling stick, keep it, now, and ; as the strain upon tho roots hurts it. Tho heat of tho curling-tongs destroys tho life of the hair—which is but a del icate vegetable, and after a few years the use of them is sure to propagate baldness. Tho preparations known as “permanent curling fluids” contain acid, which eats and surely destroys the hair. Grav*)" i of tho hair simply indicates a loss ui pigment, and there is no rem edy kuown to therapeutics which will restore its color, although it may be dyed. Foolish women frequently bleach their hair with a view of becom ing artificial blondes. Various chemi cals aro used for that purpose. The bleached hair generally falls out, and teaves tho victims of their own vanity bald before their time. It is assuredly far worse to have too much than too little hair. Nothing can be more destructive to beauty than % growth of hair where hair ought not to be. In brunettes there is a liability to the appearance of a delicate mustache on the upper lip. After a certain age, particularly in single women, the chin and neper lip are apt to be invaded by a stubble by no means attractive. “Boarded women” are supposed to owe their hirsute decoration to an overexcited condition of tho hair bnlbe. Oriental ladies have a horror of su perfluous hair, and the most anciently known depilatories came from tho east The secret preparation used in the Asi atic harems, called “Busma,” has been found upon analysis to be very injuri ous. Tnc safest chemical depilatory known is called sulphydnteof calcium. Take: Sulphuret of calcium, two parts; quicklime, one part; powder them sep arately; mix and keep in a well stop pered bottle. When iraMcd for use make into a paste with • little water and spread on the part.. Let it remain young women, and they aro certainly a ttto of remarkable beauties. Paulino 1 Hall was a chorus girl.
